15 guests' feedbackOur expectations were completely exceeded. It's a real little "hidden gem" - even more beautiful than in the photos! Our children were done playing every night, it was one big adventure and we will definitely go again.
Very nice and quiet, children enjoyed themselves. Would just suggest people make sure they bring everything, no shops nearby except for the ones at Sudwala Caves and on campsite itself.
All was up to standard and the staff were helpful as always. Kids loved it and thanks to Management and team.
Stayed 2 nights on the way to KNP. From the time we drove in the gate until we left the service was great. A lot of effort was made to make us feel comfortable and safe. Facilities neat and clean. Would definitely recommend and stay there again myself.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. The ablution facilities are kept neat and clean. There are activities to keep the entire family entertained. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely go camping there again.
Campsites are open and big enough. Lots of trees and grass. Loads of activities to keep the kids busy. Very quiet and relaxed.
Mankele gave us a warm welcome upon our arrival. It was easy to find the resort and there are many activities to do on the resort for a reasonable price. If you don't want to stay at the resort, there are many other activities in the surrounding area. It was a wonderful getaway among the mountains that makes you feel like you are on vacation. I recommend the place to anyone with children as it is a peaceful resort with not too many people, more than enough space and activities to keep everyone busy.
All the guests were well mannered and no disturbances.
Weekend turned out unplanned with an emergency operation, Shane was so incredibly supportive, coming every now and then to ask if he could help. Showed genuine interest in the patient. Friendly welcome, no hassle with keys or check out. Will definitely go again. Shane and his team are amazing!
Had fun camping and was nice with them. Will go again for a weekend. It is clean and safe there.
Very friendly host Shaun. Always made sure we were still okay. Facilities are clean. More facilities than your normal campsites. Kitchen area next to the pool is an absolute winner. Will definitely go back again.
Good value for money and there is so much to do for small children such as cycling, fishing, swimming etc. It's also very safe so children can play all over the place without parents having to keep an eye on them all the time.
We enjoyed our holiday, the staff and management were so great. Keep it up.
Campsite very nice, but there was no hot water in showers, everyone is shouting and screaming and playing loud music until the early morning hours (5 o'clock in the morning) people with their dogs do not pick up after the dogs.
The facilities were clean and well maintained. The kids loved the freedom of being able to ride around all over on their bikes. The staff were friendly and helpful. Would only gecko again when the water level is higher! Sudwala Caves just down the road was also great.
