mixed experience with service issues
slow service questionable cleanliness
I encountered some issues . the service was inconsistent. Sometimes the staff seemed overwhelmed. one evening, i waited an unreasonable amount of time for a drink at the bar. the room was generally clean but i found a few hairs in the bathroom upon arrival. this made me question the thoroughness of the cleaning process.

fresh produce river view
i stayed for four nights and breakfast was amazing. i really liked its extensive range of fresh produce. the location is a two minute drive to the park entrance. this made our safaris easy. sabi river runs alongside the hotel. we watched animals from there, it was so exciting!
The gym only has a limited number of equipment. Two treadmills and one stationary bike.
