Only great compliments for this resort. We had a great stay here. Upon entry you will receive a welcome drink and a tour of the compound. The layout is modern and spacious and due to the large distance to the rear houses, you can be driven up in a golf cart if desired. Free! The stay includes all meals (excluding drinks) and game drives through the beautiful Pilanesberg National Park. The food is a la carte and tastes great, with a different menu every afternoon and evening. The service is very hospitable and personal, I would specifically like to thank Piet and Oupa for the good care. The Rangers are skilled and know exactly where to look. With the exception of the cheetah and the cheetah, we spotted all the land animals there are in Pilanesberg in 3 days, including a jackal and the lion (2 sexes). The room is beautifully decorated, the king-size bed is fantastic and there is a quiet air conditioning unit. The outdoor shower was a bit outdated but still adequate. The Spa facilities are also recommended, although our hot stone massage was a bit messy. All in all, we had the best feeling about this stay during our entire trip in South Africa. Highly recommended or perhaps even a must! EDIT: What I personally think is a shame is that the lodge responds below that it is 'truly superb ' and apparently assumes that I will come again. You can be proud of yourself, but saying something like that about yourself shows arrogance. Shame! Modesty would have served you well.

A nature lover's paradise. I loved the food and thank you to all the staff for making my birthday a memorable event. Will definitely visit many more times in the future.
