I like the nature it’s in a very quite and cossy area far from the city noise and very family friendly and I also like the fact that it has a pool and play area with table tennis and snooker also it has area for the kids to ply as well, there a big area to sit and chill and they provide breakfast as well.

The 2 receptions as we waited a bit on the wrong reception area but we were later informed that the one we waiting on was for day visitors and the other one is for check ins so there was no clear directions from the security,but the receptionist apologised and explained.

The staff were excellent. Extremely friendly and helpful. The food; breakfast, our packed lunches and dinner were really really superb. The cheetah location attached to the lodge was awesome. The 2 guides were very knowledgable and professional. It was so good we went back a second time. Our dinner locations changed every night and the staff really did make such a great effort . A really fantastic lodge with fantastic people!

There was nothing not to like.

The entire staff was exceptional. It was like being with family. It was the staff that tranformed our stay into an experience. We are, because of the exceptional staff at Emdoneni presently planning our return. The Chateau was perfect. The dinner menu was composed of fresh ingredients ie fruits and vegetables, prepared deliciously. Upon learning that we were vegetarian, the Chef prepared a marvelous dish just for us.

Only aspect we did not like was the fact that our stay was so short.

Everything! The staff were absolutely lovely, the venue was stunning. The food was delicious. Our room was clean and looked beautiful. There were zebra and various buck that can be seen around the property. The cat tour is an absolute must! The guides are extremely knowledgeable and the cats were amazing. It was truly a memorable experience and we would do it again. Already mentally planning our next trip there! :)

The room we had had 2 single beds that were next to each other (which was fine) but also had 2 single blankets instead of a double like we had expected, based on images we had seen. There did not seem to be any back up power for loadshedding.

Not far from the main off ramp, very minimal gravel driving. Interaction with cheetah 🐆 and other wild cats was the best. The employees are the best they are friendly and will do anything to make your stay comfortable.

Property needs some damp proofing, the chalets small of mould, it is in the bushes however maybe once in a year check some dampness and mitigate

Great to here for 5 nights! The lodge was awesome more than I expected: when you arrive at the gate, you get in an subsequently an incredible african forest appears with a wild trail to the parking. In Emdoneni you can find more than 30 lodges built in the nature. Some animals as zebras and very curious nyals can show up in in the gardens leading to the kitchen and living room. Possibility to book the fantastic safary with expert guide in the near hluhluwe park seeing the big 5 In the Emdoneni lodge there is a cat project where the possibility to see Cheetah, Serval and Caracal is unmissible. Great kitchen and dishes! Super!

Stayed in a beautiful bungalow, big windows and outside shower! It was close to the Cat Sanctuary which was purpose of our visit. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Learned a lot about the work being done with the Cats.

We didn’t find much else to view within a short distance from the lodge, but our main purpose was to see the Cheetahs.

The Cats and the Service was exceptional, location is private and no hustle of city or towns. Perfect for a quick private getaway. The hostess, Ruth was accommodating, friendly and very helpful Suggestions - info stand with nearby visits and attraction pamphlets to see what is the attractions and visit sites around the area.

Large property, all full of trees, flowers, plants .. gives you a fantastic ' bush' feeling ! The staff extremely friendly, always willing to help ! The kitchen exceptional ! Very good place to start excursions into the park and surroundings.

Nothing to complain about

The staff went out of their way to cater for my needs as I am a vegetarian, they made a special meal for me, and so delicious. Hats off to the chef, and the dining room staff are super friendly and efficient. Our manageress also was always on duty, and super friendly.
