We too have mixed feelings about this place. Cybele was recommended to us/included in our itinerary by our travel consultant, probably as a bit of R & R between safari camps as part of our Honeymoon. We stayed the middle of April and were booked in a Garden Cottage – I had noted beforehand that there are only 3 Garden... More

Everything about Cybele was perfect. From the warm welcome, the detailed instructions about the spacious room and lovely bathroom (not to mention the outside shower). Watching vervet monkeys, drinking delicious South African wine, having a massage, walking to the waterfall or eating the best fresh fruit I've ever had at breakfast. And then there was the dinner - whether the... More

The approach road has to be experienced to be believed - it's literally bone shaking! The reception when you do arrive is warm and welcoming. The staff all know your name and itinerary and are very happy to help. We stayed in the Courtyard Suite and thought it was nice. The pool was a good size in its own walled... More

Lovely two days in luxurious accommodation and gardens. Terrible approach roads. We were hoping to do Panorama route but sadly rained out. Internet very sporadic and had to be purchased an hour at a time which was very disappointing given it is a five star resort.

We had driven south from Botswana and my wife had been ill for the last ten days so we arrived after a visit to a private hospital and within minutes we were made to feel very important. The General Manager showed us to our suite, and as we had luggage for a month storage looked like it could be a... More

What a peaceful little haven. Beautiful, restful gardens with a swimming pool and lovely mature trees, which the monkeys enjoy early morning and late afternoon. The accommodation was spacious and set in a lovely little garden, making it appear as an individual little bungalow. Very spacious inside with a sitting area, dining and bed. The bathroom had a bath with... More

We spent three nights at Cybele at the end of a short trip to South Africa and were delighted with every aspect of our stay here. Our accommodation in a Luxury Cottage was secluded, nicely appointed and well serviced. The staff were universally friendly and attentive, but not intrusive, and the restaurant excellent. The Lodge is beautifully situated with some... More

When we first arrived and were shown to our Suite, we weren't quite sure, but we very quickly learned to really love this property. It has charm and warm in depth, and the staff are excellent. Probably the highlight was the restaurant. It has a very diverse menu for such a small establishment, yet they pull off each dish with... More

Since our first visit in 1990, we have often been guests at Cybele on our own and with friends. The setting, the people, the food and the atmosphere makes this the ideal breakaway destination. Their Paddock Suites with huge heated pools are a winner and the privacy appreciated. During a previous trip we enjoyed the chopper excursion which is highly... More
