Wonderful stay, great value, highly recommended

Pros: Beautiful grounds, happy friendly staff, great food. Excellent game drives. Ideal place. Exceptional value ... everyone else has said it before, we agree!

Conradie 9/10

Pros: The location is perfect for a nice luxury breakaway to the bush and the staff manages to be both friendly and impressively efficient. There is an abundance of game and birdlife around that can be enjoyed from the pool side or by doing a game drive. What really stood out, though, were the meals. Both breakfast and dinner felt like a special occasion—the food was beautifully presented, perfectly prepared, and the portions were as generous as they were delicious. The service was spot-on, too; the team stayed subtly in the background but was always ready the moment we needed anything.

Great solo bush break

Pros: The staff were friendly, professional and helpful. The food was excellent with great options to choose from. Variety of onsite and offside activities.

Cons: Nothing, the place was great for my solo bush break.

Garden of eden

Pros: The food was good and alot. You are surrounded by nature, eating dinner and breakfast while looking at animals roaming around

Cons: They provide directions until a certain point. It would be nice to always mention the 7k you have to drive after entering the gate. The gravel has alot of bumps, which makes it abit hard to enjoy the drive while watching the animals

Best of the best

Pros: What an amazing weekend. Everyone was so friendly (in a very warm and sincere way). No request was too big or too small. The food… Oh my word, the food was amazing. As far as full service lodges go, definitely one of the best we have ever visited.

South Africa 🇿🇦

Pros: The facility is excellently located, the staff so friendly and the food were exceptional

Cons: The bed was not comfortable at all as the mattress need to be changed as they feel and look old. The tap in the bathroom basin is loose and the toilet had stains inside

Absolutely fabulous!!!

Pros: Everything!!! Itaga is always on my list for a local getaway

Cons: The spiders 😂- I guess it’s not their fault as it’s in the bush

Great

Pros: Everything. The only little negative point is that the rooms are in fact quite small which doesn't appear from the photos

Cons: Nothing, for the rest everything was 100%: friendliness, food, staff....

We will be back for sure!

Pros: The meals were out of this world in terms of both taste and presentation. The staff were friendly and helpful. Carmen treated us to the best game drive experience I've ever had. We had amazing sightings and her knowledge and passion for what she does is remarkable.

Cons: Nothing to add here.
