Nigel

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I had the Rhino Lodge room which was very clean and comfortable with a lot of space. The shower functioned well (good pressure and hot water). the staff are firendly and the food in the restaurant is good, which is just as well, as there isn't much walkable alternatives. There is also a fantastic view ober the Sipi valley and the 3rd Sipi waterfall just 50m walk away.
