    We really enjoyed our stay here. We did arrive a little late, however the staff was kind enough to stay and open the gates. We enjoyed the bar area and had a few drinks. Place is beautiful and in a quiet neighborhood very close to Kruger Park.

    Isabella and staff took care of us in so many wonderful ways, arranging safaris, providing delicious breakfasts, making dinner reservations, and even changing our tire when we caught a flat. The rooms were beautiful as well.
