The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms with a nice view from the balcony, though cleanliness and lack of a microwave were minor issues. The service was friendly but somewhat incompetent at times, and the location provided a perfect retreat from city life despite being challenging to find at night. The dining options were below expectations in terms of variety and value. Overall, a mixed experience with some standout features but room for improvement.

The lodge offers a unique experience in a rain forest setting with lovely surroundings. While the rooms may need some freshening up and lack certain amenities like a microwave or toaster, the extraordinary location compensates for it. The service, despite some minor issues, is highlighted by the exceptional assistance from the friendly golf cart drivers. Dining options could be better for the price, but the overall experience is unforgettable.

The hotel had a moldy smell in the rooms and lacked some essential amenities, like a microwave or toaster. On the upside, the service was welcoming, especially by the golf cart drivers. The location was stunningly beautiful, but the dining was overpriced given the limited options. Overall, mixed feelings about this hotel.

The hotel offers rooms with balcony views overlooking the golf course, but they could use a touch-up. Some amenities like the fridge and microwave need cleaning. The service is highlighted by remarkable customer service but lacks an understanding of the guest experience. Located in Durban North surrounded by attractions, the hotel has a sticky feel with some cleanliness issues. The dining experience is pleasant but lacking in variety. Overall, a mixed experience in terms of facilities and service.
