The viewing deck looking over the Crocodile River is unbeatable, very nice sightings of animals :) The host – Johan was very warm and welcoming and most accommodating especially with regards to the parking of our car, which was most appreciated. Thank you for that Johan. There is no secure parking, so cars are having to park in the open on the street. In South Africa that is not a safe option. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The meals where okay, very basic. The lodge is very clean, tidy and well maintained. The rooms are very dated and tired looking but that is just me as I like the more modern look and feel of a hotel/lodge. The bed was comfortable but hard as well as the pillows, they do need to be replaced together with the towels in the bathroom. The only downside we had on our stay, which was in no way under the control of the host. 2 houses away was a stag party who partied all day and well into the night with loud music and their shenanigans the entire time we were there. This was very disturbing and very annoying. Again, the host cannot control this but be aware of this. Overall, if you like the quaint and eccentric look of a place then you would not mind this place.
