We had a comfortable stay and were made to feel very welcome. Our room, with its little balcony, over looked a pond so beautiful view of the wild life and the associated sounds. Lovely quiet location.

Wir waren zwei Nächte im Park. Wir fühlten uns sicher und sind von unserem Ranger hervorragend geführt worden mit sehr guten Erklärungen auch zur Tier— und Pflanzenwelt. Die Fahrt zu den weißen Löwen war beeindruckend. Das Zelt war komfortabel und sauber mit Terrasse und darauf einem Whirlpool . Wirkwaren Anfang Ferbuar 2018 dort.

It was a lovely weekend , except the Saturday I was there , there was a wedding, which meant I couldn't use the restaurant ,which was a huge inconvenience because this was not mentioned to me before hand. It had stated I would be able to buy dinner at the restaurant. and because of the location of the lodge , it was not easy to just call a take away place or go buy food somewhere else,as I had been dropped off by a cab. Other than the dinner incident on Saturday , the lodge was very lovely. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Always willing to help. The property itself was beautiful and clean and well looked after. Would definitely go back for another stay . Only suggestion would be to make a more noticeable sign for the Glen Eden turn off ,because you can hardly notice the name when driving by

I had a good 1 night stay at the facility and they have lots of parking space. My room had a pond view which was very refreshing in the morning as i drink my coffee looking ag the fish and birds. The beds werent so good but ok. They should perhaps consider having a small fridge in the rooms since they say they have braai areas. Showers had hot water and bathrooms were very clean.

The Inkwenkwezi Private Game Reserve is a once in a lifetime experience. The owner and his staff love animals. I am gratefull to share this one day with them. The game drive was exeptional the drive itself was already a life time experience because of the rough road also called an African Massage. This experience is worth to sleep in an below average accomodation

The room was clean and comfortable - and nice for a three star establishment at the price. The owners were friendly and were able to give me a map and recommended some local restaurants. On the down side... reception was not open when I needed help (I was able to phone the owners who gave me the key); the restaurant was closed on both nights of my stay - so I had to go elsewhere for a meal (and there was nothing nearby); the television was an old box TV - with only 4 channels and no remote - so each channel change involved climbing on a chair. I booked a room with a "Spa bath" and thought I had been cheated out of it - then eventually on the day I was checking out - I spotted it in an open courtyard adjacent to my room. Although the booking said Inkenkwezi - the room I was in was actually at the Umnenga Lodge - which was not in a game reserve.

Their booking system is misleading the pictures do not look anything like the actual place and unfortunately for me I could not cancel as I was only able to see that during the check in time ,the Umnenga lodge worst place to book in you cannot be paying R900 for such a poor looking place we could not sleep in that place we had to go back home imagine and all I got was sorry if you don’t like it as if that will return my money and time back. I would advise anyone who books at any inkwenkwezi lodge to first go and check them first or pay at the venue first before going to them don’t book online

The property was a little run down. For that price has to be better otherwise the lower the rate. Shower pressure non existent. Jacuzzi faulty and did not work.

Experience was sub-standard at best, the location was 10km from the Private Game Reserve that we thought we had booked at (fake advertising) and there was nobody at reception or in the entire facility. Room was sub standard and in short will never recommend this to anyone.
