Frommer's Review

Many of these comfortable self-catering cottages have bush views -- more often than not with elephants wandering through. All units (except for some of the forest huts) are en-suite, though you need to specify whether you want a semi- or fully equipped kitchen or shared cooking facilities. Unit nos. 1 to 6 (two-bed with communal kitchens) have views of the water hole, as do unit nos. 7 and 8 (six-bed with kitchens); unit nos. 17 to 24 and 29 to 32 (four-bed) have good views of the park. A restaurant serves basic, filling meals -- chicken, fish, steaks (including kudu and ostrich), and a few traditional dishes like umcabosi, a mix of spinach and pap (maize porridge).

Facilities:
Restaurant; swimming pool; tennis; store

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
