"Kraal - a gem that needs to be polished to show its real beauty."

Our drive up to the lodge was met with a friendly team of 2, however the vehicle was smelly and messy inside and not clean. Not a good start. Welcome drinks were not halal although we specified before arrival. Attention to detail is key. They should have offered a replacement drink - like an orange juice, etc. The welcome and introduction were friendly but a bit unprofessional and lacked formality. The unit was not up to the standard of a well-maintained unit in terms of cleanliness. Tiles, carpets, and toilets were really not kept to the standard they should have been. The little stools' stitching was bursting open and exposing the foam, the floors had spots and patches of dirt. The white armchair upholstery at the mini desk was filthy and the carpet stained with dirt. The so-called solar-powered heated pool was freezing cold and really should have been warm or had a better solution to this. The place is beautifully located but completely lacked attention to finer details and cleanliness. Before using the Nespresso coffee machine, you need to request milk, but it's strange as there is a bar fridge which would have been convenient to leave a small bottle of milk or even powdered milk at the very least… but you had to go the extra mile and WhatsApp to request a little milk and then wait for it to be brought up. It could have been an absolute gem 10/10 with the right management and quality control. The units are beautiful but in time will deteriorate if not maintained. The staff always tried their best and were pleasant. They were always polite and eager to accommodate. However, the cleanliness and lack of detail, and what seemed to be a lack of proper management made the stay more of a critical one than a complimentary one. Still, lots of potential to correct, and it can be a wonderful weekend getaway.

"Underwhelming."

This feedback was also given to the manager verbally. Power issues: For such an upmarket lodge I found the power issues annoying. Don't understand why provisions are not made for additional diesel power to ensure there's no uninterrupted power. Also, the lodge invests in other alternative energy solutions available in the market. Breakfast was fair, but the rest of the meals are not up to standard. The pizza was not fresh and the explanation was that they don't have a pizza oven and as such don't make fresh pizza. Dinner meals are substandard e.g. Potatoes were not fresh and looked like they were cooked earlier, I assume due to power issues and left to sit for a while before being warmed. The cappuccino was served with stale veggies. The chicken curry was the only meal well prepared. Desserts are not of great quality and are unpalatable. Chocolate fondant looks and tastes like a muffin. Apple crumble was served with jam. Manager needs to check on guests regularly. It's a small lodge after all, and this shouldn't take much time. Shouting cost-cutting instructions at your kitchen staff so your guests hear you is a no-no. Game drive felt like a 45-minute joy ride. No interaction with guests. Nothing to write home about. Staff were very friendly. Ingrid made the stay very pleasant. She's a great host. What doesn't help, are all the limitations that the lodge which affect her ability to be at her best and set her up for success. Overall the lodge offers very little flexibility e.g. as a rule you can't have a meal in the room. Dinner is prescribed between 18:00 and 19:30, or else the kitchen closes due to power issues. Not a great experience overall.

"Expensive, lack of privacy, overall disappointing stay."

The highlight of our stay was the spa experience and the specially arranged dinner for our anniversary. However, that’s where it ended. We stayed in Villa 5, which is supposed to be the best villa at a premium price. Despite being labelled as secluded and not in view of the other villas, the lack of blinds or window tinting compromised our privacy. Anyone could easily look into the villa, which was a major drawback for both my husband and me. The blue LED lights from the deck and pool reflected on the windows, causing a sleepless night. Furthermore, the absence of blinds or tinting meant that as soon as daybreak arrived, the villa was filled with light, making it impossible to sleep beyond 6:30 AM. Moreso, the afternoon sun was a major issue, as there was no shade available on the deck or in the villa due to the lack of blinds or tinting. The absence of privacy created a sense of insecurity and vulnerability which added to the stay being unpleasant. The cleanliness of the place was disappointing. Stained tiles in the lounge and kitchenette area, windows and frames covered in bird droppings and dirt, the shower floor and glass shield were dirty as well, and an overall lack of cleanliness gave the impression that the villa had not been properly cleaned in a long time, neither is the cleanliness at a 5-star place yet the price is. The pool was not heated, which meant we couldn't use it. Even if it were heated, the wall tiles and pool floor were extremely grimy and dirty. The jacuzzi, although functional, was also very dirty, with grime and sediment covering the walls and floor. While I understand the concept of people connecting, the absence of a TV in the villa was a major drawback. Expecting guests to rely on their own laptops or smart devices for streaming seemed unreasonable, especially considering the premium price we paid for the villa. On a positive note, the staff were great, particularly the spa attendants, Thabe and Ofentse, who were the highlights of our experience. Austin, Ayanda, and Ingrid were also awesome and attentive. . The concept of the place is great, but the execution falls short. I hope that future guests will not be misled into paying premium prices for these unhygienic and non-private villas.
