Quiet, cool and green. Wi-Fi was good enough for video calls. The only thing missing was a second set of keys for our group.

We woke to elephants at the waterhole both mornings. Staff were warm and the cook made the best sadza and stew of our trip.

Great value for a family. The children lived in the pool and the caretaker lit the braai for us each evening.

The view over the valley at sunrise is worth the early start. Bring warm clothes, the nights are properly cold in winter.
