Everything was lovely, we had lovely time, the children loved the Aqua Dome, however I feel that entry fee for residents should be exempt and not pay for the Aqua Dome, the animal farm was very nice. The Place overall is very nice. The receptionist Fifi was very very helpful. All the staff are respectful and very helpful, the come and clean everyday, which is a nice break for us when on holiday

Friendly staff at Bush lodges, not so much at the casino, service for drinks at the bar- waited very, very long for service and left to the prive. Food in the prive waited very long for "toasted cheese and tomato", almost an hour. Did not make use of breakfast.

Other than a so-so shower, absolutely fantastic!

Fantastic stay. Highly recommended, especially for the price. Only thing is the shower is one of these where you can't close it all the way, so the bathroom floor tends to get wet, and the taps are a bit finicky. The shower head is also not great. But other than the shower, really nice, neat, comfortable little chalet, with air con, tv, braai, full kitchen ,wi-fi, and enough to do to keep the family busy for a good 3 nights.

Reconnect with nature

I understand that those are old designed chalets, but they need to be kept in good condition. The interior infrastructure seem to be dilapidated and not taken care of. The sheets are clean but not up to the standard I had expected for such a place. Be that as it may, I enjoyed my stay and it allowed me to reconnect with the nature.

It is a mixed review from me. We have been treated extremely well. We were in one of the bush lodges. At R3000 per night, one can surely expect an excellent property in excellent condition. This is not the case. The house was spacious and cleaned daily, and the pots, cutlery etc. were in excellent condition, but the furniture... just the complete opposite. In desperate need of an update. The bed was very comfortable, but the shower had mould in it. The tap in the kitchen, not working properly. Lamp in sitting room falling apart. Curtains need to be fixed. Duvets in spare room need replacing. Table outside falling apart. Not good enough for a top rated facility.

Loved it

What a wonderful experience! Would highly recommend. Staff at the Hotel were amazingly friendly and professional. From Reception to room service to breakfast staff just outstanding!! The Auqua Dome was VERY disappointing. The staff open when they want to. Literally an hour after the board signs says and online times. The only slide is not always open as the life guard wants to chat to his friends so closes and opens at random. If you ask him to use the slide he will tell you in 20 minutes.
