Amazing place for kids
The stay was amazing for the kids as there were a lot of activities all day long. I think they need to do updates on the units as they are dated.

Disappointed
Just stayed the 1 night out of the 3 that we booked, place needs a major upgrade, booked a 4 sleeper chalet.the hiking trails are neglected, was only able to use the green trail.very boring atmosphere,the 2 positives from this place was the food from Bistro and the friendly staff.

satisfactory stay
Staff were very friendly but the food needs major help. Prices don't match quality or quantity. Felt like dinner was a frozen reheated meal.

Enjoyable stay
We enjoyed our stay very much. The hotel, grounds and pools are in a lovely condition. Very friendly and helpful staff. The Bistro can do with better service - too long wait to be served.

natal spa. need improvement
I found the resort to be very unorganised. From the delay at check in. To rooms not being made up timeously. The food was definitely substandard and need improvement. They could not cope with the busy period. Linen not available timeously. Pool towels not available

Upgrade desperately needed!
Facilities are not maintained and in desperate need of a make-over! Breakfast buffet was good and a highlight, but the rest a major disappointment. The Spa area was dirty and old, the hotel building is not maintained and except for the breakfast buffet, the other meals offered were a major disappointment.

Halfway Stop Durban - Kruger National Park
I used this as a halfway stop from Durban to Kruger National Park (Skukuza). 4hrs from Durban (non stop). 5hrs to Skukuza (Non Stop). Overall it has dated or old feel. In saying that the place is well kept. My room was clean. The bathroom was clean, not modern, telephone cord shower with no shower curtain for the tub. Make sure to get here with some time to enjoy the hot pools. Good facilities for children, putt putt, water slides, pools, etc. Excellent buffet breakfast
