16 guests' feedbackLovely time, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone who wants a bush break.
Nice place in the woods. We enjoyed it very much.
It was very nice and tasty. Feeling that one is alone in the forest. Very nice!
Very peaceful and calm among the fauna and flora. But not much to do. Have to drive some distance where attractions are. Restaurant and night rides as per brochure no longer in operation.
We had a wonderful stay, the rooms are beautiful and have air conditioning. We had an outdoor kitchen which is nice, you cook and eat in nature. The night walk was very nice and the reptiles were also very nice to see. Everyone was very hospitable and we will stay there again.
Clean and tidy accommodation. De Wet is very friendly and helpful, thank you!
We had a super relaxing time away with our two grown-up kids. Comfortable and clean. We loved the braai area in the bush which was private. Outdoor kitchen is very nice too. Everyone was very friendly and helpful, especially Tracy. The bar area was a very pleasant surprise. We had breakfast on our departure at Delish restaurant which was so close and had good food.
It was suitable for us as we were breaking a long journey and needed time to relax.
Emma and her husband are fantastically hospitable. Your vehicle is kept safely at their home, to prevent nature from being disturbed. They carry all your luggage to your cottage. They also provide information about the area's attractions and arrange for you to visit the Hluluwe reserve, if you prefer.
Quiet environment with many willing hands for luggage. Definitely a new sleepover favorite for us.
Was wonderfully peaceful with option to see people and mingle if you wanted. Staff professional, yet feels like home. Delicious meals at restaurant beautiful self-catering kitchen.
Very nice and private rooms in the middle of the forest. Everyone is very friendly and the food is delicious. Would love to stay again!
The rooms were well equipped and very glad there was air conditioning. There is just not much to do for small children, but one rests well.
We stayed 3 nights at Ukhumbi and they were fantastic. The food was excellent and the feel of the place was so friendly and relaxing. It was too short a stay. Thank you very much for such a great stay, I will recommend you to many friends.
