We had a very enjoyable 2-night stay at the River Lodge, and would have loved to stay longer. The amenities and accommodation are all excellent, and very well-designed to fit in with the woodland setting. It feels quite remote and isolated, but it's actually within reach of many places of interest. From the lodge veranda there's a lovely view of... More

I've just returned from a three day stay at this beautiful lodge with my husband and parents-in-law - all four of us enjoyed every second of our stay. The lodge feels luxurious without being at all over the top. The service impeccable but without being at all obtrusive - every day our bed was made and every evening out amenities... More

We (four adults, two twelve-year olds and a very energetic three year old) spent two marvelous days here and none of us could fault the accommodation, the location and the sheer enthusiasm and friendliness of all the staff .The 'lodges' are done up to an excellent standard, each opening up onto a beautiful timber veranda area. Monkeys visit regularly and... More

WOW!!! You can never be sure what to expect the first time you go anywhere, and this lodge more then met our expectaions. The rooms are individual cabins that look out into the forest, where in the early morning and evenings you are almost certain to see some antelope species and the infamous vervette monkeys, not to worry though, this...

I stayed at the Planters' Bush Camp with my family, including two young children. Unfortunately I did not feel that the website description accurately described the accommodation. The website says that "this accommodation offers three bedrooms each with two single beds and and en suite shower". However it fails to mention that the bedrooms are in two separate buildings, and...

Gavin, Tammy and staff went out of their way to make us welcome and comfortable. Would thoroughly recommend. Beautiful views, it was lovely to wake up to Impala grazing in front of our room. False Bay lake worth... More

A group of friends and I stayed here in July 2012. The views from the lodge itself were wonderful esp that of False Bay. The place was secluded and private enough...you definitely felt like you were in the bush. The rooms were nice...Rustic but clean. The drive to the game park is about 30 mins away. The food was delicious... More

Beautiful view!! The guest rooms could use a little updating. The over all stay was nice and didn't break the bank. Very friendly and helpful staff. We enjoyed the safari even though it took about 30 min.To get to the park once you leave the lodge. Wish there would of been a way to not have been so crowded in... More

Hluhluwe River Lodge was a perfect get away from our manic travel schedule. Set in the dense woodland, overlooking False Bay, it has everything that a nature lover wants. The Hluhluwe & Imfolozi game reserves are a c20 minute jeep drive away through traditional villages set up in the hillside. If you dont want to do the 4:30/5am wake up... More
