Beautiful hotel with stunning rooms and real sense of luxury. The pool and grounds are so tranquil and calm and everything is immaculate The staff are attentive and professional and the setting is beautiful with giraffe and zebra roaming around - so lovely. The restaurant is gorgeous. The only tiny bit of feedback is that the restaurant staff got things a bit confused for us and forgot some of the food and got the courses mixed up so the children got their main courses while the adults were served the starter so then had to wait ages for their pudding while we had the rest of the meal, and the side orders of vegetables never materialised but overall we had a wonderful stay

Relaxing stay with helpful friendly staff.

Very relaxing stay with helpful friendly staff. Relatively convenient for Kruger although we drove through Kruger ourselves so didn’t use the lodges excursions but those who did spoke highly of them. Great to walk round the immediate area with sightings of giraffe, zebra, kudu, impala and wart hogs.

A true gem adjacent to Kruger, truly allowed our family to disconnect from the world, relax, and recharge, amidst the wilderness which is at the doorstep of each villa. Staff are super attentive, and cater to a unique boutique experience. The safari guides are really friendly and professional.

Our stay at this property was beyond a dream, our room was quiet, in the middle of nature. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate all our needs and more. The sunset drive and sunrise walk were amazing, seeing the animals so close was a wonderful experience. Jeremiah was so knowledgeable. The food was great! Can’t say how fantastic our stay here was!

I cannot begin to express how wonderful the lodge, the staff and my stay here was. Unembeza is fantastic! It is located in an estate with other private properties. You will need to receive a code from the hotel to enter the estate and drive/ride, slowly for approximately 2 miles to get to the lodge. Along the way you will pass warthogs, kudu and impala…one guest told me he saw giraffes also. Frank greeted me and registered me at checkin. He showed me around the lodge and took me to my AMAZING room in the Monkeythorn building. My room was stunning. I had an incredible massage, given by Maria. I would highly recommend her. At breakfast, Vote, served me with incredible warmth, conversation and a smile. I wish I could remember all the names but everyone was amazing. It is unusual to find a place of this caliber anywhere in the world like this. It is a ways from Kruger National Park, so allow an hour or ninety minutes to get to the gate. hope to return someday.

Do yourself the favour and go and stay here!

Our stay was very relaxing - the staff really went out of their way to help us as I had a stomach-bug when we arrived there, so they called the nearest pharmacy to stay open for us, so that I could get some medicine. Charlotte is a very kind and helpful young woman. Beautiful surroundings and the breakfast is 6 stars!

The lodge is beautiful and in a wild animal preserve so there are zebra and water bucks in the yard! The little extra touches to make one feel pampered are everywhere. Tanya is an excellent hostess and the staff can't do enough for you. And the bed was heavenly!!

Beautiful Place

We had a beautiful stay and enjoyed everything. The staff is very friendly and always there to help. The place is beautiful and serene. The food was devine, breakfast and dinner out of this world, thanks to Lussy and team. Sam, Caroline, Decide, Patience, Meriam their service was great and Patience checked is in and was a quick check in. Kurhula and Miyelani at the Spa gave us a beautiful massage and they are very friendly too. Appearance, Phindile and team they serviced our room so beautiful They are all so professional and friendly, I will definitely be back.

The room here was beautifully appointed, and the bed was very comfy. The property was really quiet and it had a lovely pool. It was unfortunately too cold to take a dip in winter. There was wifi available everywhere, but its speed could vary depending on where you were. It would have been nice to have some bathrobes available in the room. The views from the property were lovely, especially when you are on the observation deck and can see the Drakensbergs in the distance. The breakfast and dinner was enjoyable and generally varied each day. The service was also lovely and friendly. I stayed in the Mbali villa so it was about a 5 minute walk down the road back to the main building for meals. In the evenings, they can organise a shuttle to collect you and bring you back as it gets very dark outside.

Inesquecível

Hotel boutique muito lindo, com quartos amplos e situados no meio da mata (chuveiro ao ar livre foi o máximo), camas e lençóis confortáveis, água a vontade, funcionários bem simpáticos e prestativos. O único porém é que a localização exige que o hóspede jante no hotel todos os dias, com valores um pouco salgados. De qualquer modo, voltaria outras vezes.
