What a lovely resort, so comfortable and the most friendly and helpful staff. The park on the other hand has deteriorated so badly over the past years - so sad to see what was once a pride and joy fall into such a state of disrepair. Obviously nobody cares, and it is an embarrassment to South Africa!

Everything was just top tier, the food, the service, the scenery, the staff was just out of this world. I'm definitely coming back with my partner

Excellent but getting too expensive for locals you are pricing yourselves out of the market. there should be reduced rates and meal prices for pensioners
