Spent three nights at Bushwillow. Wonderful place, Julian and Liz freindly and informative and Jabu and Victoria made us very welcome and produced delicious meals in this beautiful eco-friendly reserve. Giraffes visited for breakfast, and a family of warthogs living under the cottage made for an unforgettable visit. Could not recommend it more highly, with the setting, welcome, food and... More

We returned after six years to find that nothing much had changed; the position of this lodge in it's own nature park, with just three beautiful bedrooms is quite unique. To observe animals from your bedroom or the main dining area is truelly a delight. Jabu and Victoria are so attentive to your every need, but also provide delicious meals.... More

We were fortunate enough to stay at Bushwillow for one night during our trip around South Africa in January 2012. What a find, the place is set in a tranquil private reserve and we were lucky to have the whole Lodge to ourselves so we were doubly spoilt. We stayed in the Tambotie suite and loved it, the attention to... More

Very special place run by very special people. Beautiful surroundings and walks - you never know who do you meet (I heve never before or after our two trips here saw a family of giraffes so close!) We have been here as a couple and as a family, it works for both perfectly. If you want some peaceful quality time... More

We had an awesome time exploring the North Coast on our honeymoon using Buswillow as our base of operations. Our whole week was effectively all planned by Julian and Liz, who were very helpful with making recommendations and bookings. We'd definitely recommend their 5-day package. We stayed in the Tambotie room which has beautiful views and you can literally lie... More

An oasis of quiet tranquillity in a small (l3 hectare) private game reserve. Lovely wooden "lodge rooms" at the end of boardwalks linked to a large central one which has a big deck, small plunge pool. Large picture windows overlook the bush and the bathroom has both a bath and very good shower. The main Lodge is beautifully decorated inside... More

We immensely enjoyed our first visit to Bushwillow last year, so decided on a return 3 night stay this year and we weren't disappointed. Great location - close to Hluhluwe and St Lucia. The accommodation is so peaceful, and has great views of the wildlife from your windows - giraffe and warthog right in front of our room. Liz and... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our three night stay at Bushwillow. The rooms have been positioned to give a good view of the small waterhole and visiting game whilst retaining a high level of privacy. The room itself shows a commitment to quality and great attention to detail. It is possible to see quite a wide range of game and birds without... More
