These cottages are absolutely suburb! We loved the sweet little path to the cottage (many birds and red duikers to spot), the comfy beds, great kitchenette set-up and host who went above and beyond to make sure our kids also had a blast. The adjacent Delishh restaurant was simply the cherry on top!

Leopard Corner Lodge is a fantastic place to chill, you can leave all of your troubles behind and just relax. Everybody from the cleaning staff to the cooks to the managers are very helpful and very friendly, good work guys :) We particularly valued Tessa’s cordiality, hospitality and knowledge of the local attractions which made our trips into the iSimangaliso much more rewarding. Thank you :)

Duiker Game Lodge

Set in Hluhluwe, Duiker Game Lodge offers accommodation with free WiFi, air conditioning and access to a garden with an outdoor swimming pool.

This was my third stay at Duiker Lodge, and once again, I felt completely at home. The lodge is small, personal, and full of charm – a hidden gem just about 25 minutes from Hluhluwe National Park. The rooms are beautifully decorated, combining modern comfort with African flair. Everything is clean, stylish, and thoughtfully designed. The food prepared by chef Happiness is very delicious. As a vegetarian, I really appreciated how well my dietary preferences were taken care of. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and made with love. I also enjoyed again the offered game drives in the lodge’s private reserve. They’re never rushed, and the guides take time to share their knowledge for the wildlife. Between activities, I enjoyed relaxing by the pool and soaking in the peaceful atmosphere, watching wildlife that came by such as warthogs and Nyalas. The whole place has a warm vibe – it’s hard to leave. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

Magnificient place inside a lovely garden. Breakfast outstanding. Biggest asset is by far the host/owners Marie and Adrian who are remarkable in all aspects. We loved our stay in Kwalucia and we hope to be able to return one day.

Excellent and familiar accommodation to spend a few days in Sta Lucia. The facility itself is beautiful, clean, safe and well-mainteined. The communal areas, pool, outdoor dining-room terrace, garden are perfect. Spacious and clean rooms, comfy bed, ample storage space, mini fridge...It was full-equipped, you won´t miss anything you need. Delicious and varied breakfast (cold cuts, fruit salad, tea, coffee, juice, toasts, home-made breakfast, omelets...) really yummy¡. Laundry service. Hospitable reception. The hosts gave us a very warm-welcome when we arrived in Sta Lucia and we got a lot of information and advice about the surroundings, trips around the area and so on...Perfect location, everything is handy, pharmacy, markets, restaurants...it´s a short way to the village center (just 5-8 minutes walking). Excellent location to visit iSimangaliso Wetland Park & hippo and croc cruise. Very safe place to stay, there is security driving around the neighbourhood. We felt like at home, safe and relaxing. Recommended 100%

Location was sublime with views over the Jozini Dam and bushveld. The game drive was a highlight with our knowledgeable guide and we took some amazing photographs and enjoyed some complimentary snacks down at the water’s edge. Nothing was too much trouble, the staff were amazing and the food and the presentation was amongst the best I have ever had. With a comfortable bed, a good night sleep, amazing location, fantastic staff and of course the game drive to round it all off. Quality! A 5 star experience!

Stayed here 4 nights and if you want to escape and get away for a few days and immerse yourself in the forest and the lakes then this is the place for you. Exceptional staff, very comfortable 'tented' and secluded accommodation, amazing sunsets, great food with intimate evening meals served in the forest around an open fire, very romantic. Enjoyed the paid boat excursion so much as we did with the included canoe and forest walk. Great guides, full of information.

St Lucia is a great holiday destination.

St Lucia is a great holiday destination. Nice small village, you can walk freely at any time of the day or night. The John Dorys was fantastic. Spar and Shoprite allow you to purchase what ever you forgot at home. Traveling to Cape Vidal was epic, we saw Rhino and Hyena just passing our vehicle. Please check what time is low tide so you can better enjoy snorkeling at the reef.

I will always recommend to have a tour guide when you getting to the wild side because our tour guide was more than the word perfect in terms of understanding the area and animals and the zoo as whole.

The scenery was good, room not bad, wonderful staff and great breakfast. Boat is a daylight robbery, it's just too expensive and the boat os stationery most of the time we didn't fully explore the dam. The treatment at spa was substandard.

It is THE place for scuba diving in South Africa! We can only recommend it ! Beaches are empty and one can snorkel on the house reef during low tide. Pity about the state of the reserve in general as it is not maintained and one often find no running water at the showers located at the beach.

Mkuze is the best place to stay if you want to visit the Mkuze Game Reserve. We saw plenty at the two hides - herds of wildebeest, impala and nyala and plenty of birds. It's about 60 km to the Memorial Gate entrance to the Imfolozi-Hluhluwe Game Reserve - we got up early and got there as the gates opened to spend the day in the reserve. It's also worth driving up Jozini and taking a boat out on the dam. The hotel has a great offering of tours with their own guides.

We booked for 6 nights but left after the first night. I cannot recommend this place to anyone. The owners is misrepresenting the property. There was no ice machine. Aircon was not working. Shower is not draining the water away. Pool and entertainment area needs TLC. The unit was cockroach invested.

The road from Ermelo to Pongola, especially just before and after Piet Retief/Mkhondo is terrible. Rather take a longer route which ended up being quicker and safer as you didn't have to worry about the state of the road.
