First item on this Hotel is that the rooms where build many years ago and in between the cheapest maintenance was used. Like wrong toilet lids and skew shower door etc., First shower cold.0
The next item is that we pay for a room/breakfast and dinner. When you go for dinner they present to you a menu without prizing. The problem with that is the quality between the no prize menu and the prized menu is completely in a different league. So much so that we went to a restaurant outside the premises to eat where we pay again. Same with the breakfast, tasteless etc..
For the money I pay it was a no go.

Bad experience....

Great venue. It was really convenient for the accommodation, to be so connected with the Billfish 15000 competition. The room was clean and well kept. the bed was comfortable. I enjoyed watching the local wildlife, so close to my chalet.

Very nice gated resort and buietiful property located on edge of iSamangaliso Wetland Park. 
Wildlife roam the property making it special.
Food at restaurant was very good and cheap for a Canadian.
Very friendly staff.

Looking forward to returning.

We had a fantastic stay at the self-catering cabin.
Only disappointment was the very outdated grimy bathroom and no indoor shower.
The TV reception was terrible, so every channel was snowy to watch. Very poor selection of channels.
Had to pay extra for wi-fi connectivity.

Excellent location, great facilities, the log cabins are fully furnished and comfortable. The only problem was the cleanliness of some of the rooms because of geckos, but the staff were very responsive when we notified them of the problem.

Welele,kanti inganekwane .Treatment is bad .we felt racism so much.all whites were served by white waitors and even the boss was serving whites.the food was so scarce.the last day was worse in the breakfast bcos they were few of us who were booked there and they made little food.uyayazi inganekwane

What an amazing place.  I was not aware of "no open fires". We took a potjie pot and charcoal.  Please put this on your website to inform people.  It was no Biggy as we used  the grill and oven, but it would of been nice to know.

1st family diving holiday for 5 years. The Coral Divers team were great starting with James patiently taking us through a refresher session in the pool to a range of dives on 2,5 and 8 mile reefs. All the reefs were in good condition , the sites weren’t crowded and there was the unexpected benefit of migrating whales ( often with young) passing close by on nearly every trip

Nice place poorly managed. Staff is not prepared to handle this place properly, and we have encountered several issues when checking in. Breakfast on site is not available and they won't tell you until you check in. The restaurant opens at 12pm and there is nowhere to buy coffee or water in the lodge. The only option is to drive out of the lodge and go to a coffee shop / supermarket. Chalets can use a thorough maintenance and cleanliness. The place is very quiet and nice.

Nice place poorly managed

The chalet was clean and had all the amenities we needed - thank you.  The only inconvenience was to only check-in at 3 pm having to keep our food in the car until then.  The early check-out didn't work for us either as our last dive could not be done in fear of being too late for the check-out.
