Prachtig verblijf in geweldige omgeving! Goede tips gekregen voor eetgelegenheden. Heel leuk dat je zelf wandelingen in het park kunt maken.

Bushwillow's Boutique Red Ivory self-catering chalet in Hluhluwe is a little piece of private paradise! Surrounded by the dense sand forest, with prolific bird-life and excellent walking trails, the chalet is beautifully designed and tastefully decorated, luxuriously finished and comfortably equipped. The private plunge pool and complete tranquility offer an unforgettable opportunity to simply "breathe", relax and ENJOY! We're already planning our return journey....

Man muss hier gewesen sein super Service, eine morgen Fahrt und eine Abend fahrt durch den Busch mit den ganzen Tieren ist inklusive! Es gibt sogar jedesmal ein Picknick abends mit Wein und morgens mit Kaffee! Super Pool und super Blick vom Berg! Am Ende ist diese Loge eher zu günstig. Super weiter so!

On arrival we were greeted by Ben with a welcome cold drink, help with our luggage and a quick tour of Red Ivory, which was very well equipped and so peaceful. Huge bi-fold doors opening out onto the bush and splash pool area.The only sound constant bird song. We'd booked db&b and learned that Ben was the chef. His cooking was superb, making even our breakfasts special and serving up his delicious personal recipes for our evening meals. Then there was De Wet who was such a great host, There was much banter with him regaling us with stories of his exploits. (Many times with frowns from Ben when our food was waiting to be served!) His daily advice and knowledge was invaluable, Another Ben appeared the next morning. He looked after us at mealtimes and expertly fielded our many fauna/birding questions with great clarity & wit. Ben 2 also took us on a night bush walk. His care and knowledge was extraordinary and insightful. Thoroughly recommended. Then there was 'Si' who took us on a morning bush walk to give us a taste of tracking and birding round the beautiful reserve. Again very knowledgeable with a keen sense of humour. Kuleni is a perfect location to explore from, with Hluhluwe national park just 3/4 hours away. What made this visit very special was the warmth, friendliness and helpfulness of Bushwillow's staff. Our four nights passed far too quickly and it was a sad parting on our last morning. Thank you again to the staff, seen and unseen who made our visit so memorable.

Was a very beautiful family room (two bedroom unit). Only issue is at night it was very dark and some of the decking had weak boards and one of the workers almost fell. It was lucky it wasn’t one of the guests as we were 50km from the nearest clinic.

We had a lovely stay at Bushwillow collections. The accommodation was in great condition, the little pool much needed in the heat and being surrounded by the bush and wildlife was good for the soul. De Wet and Dane were great hosts, quick to answer any questions and always keen to engage and accommodate us. I highly recommend it and will be going back there.

Wir haben 3 Nächte in der Tambotie Lodge verbracht, ein Bungalow mit vielen Fenstern und Blick in die Natur. Wenn man dann auf der Terasse sitzt und Giraffen laufen in 3 Meter Entfernung an einem vorbei, ist das schon ein ganz besonderes Erlebnis. Zum Frühstück und Abendessen wurden wir bestens versorgt. Absolute Empfehlung!!!

Wir hatten das Haus Red Yvory und es war einfach super. Das Haus hat alles was man braucht und man kann sich in dem Pool sehr gut erholen. Die Ruhe pur. Das Personal ist sehr bemüht und freundlich.

We had a great stay at bushwillow. The lodges are very comfortable with a great view. We had all kinds of animals right in front of our window, e.g. a giraffe. the staff was really nice and helpful and cooked a delicious 3 course dinner menu for us. Unfortunately we only stayed one night. It is a good place though to stay multiple nights and do things from there and come back at night

Bushwillow is an amazing find and we have already recommended to friends that live in the region. Under new management but from reading previous reviews, has done nothing to detract from this being a special place.
