This bush escape was just what my wife and i needed. A disconnect from our busy lives. Peaceful, quiet and serene. Very friendly staff, amazing food and we had a an awesome guide, Stuart. The Manyoni park itself was teaming with healthy wildlife and it is very well maintained with limited vehicles.

The complex was a huge thermal leisure park and very nicely laid out. There are various hot and cold water pools, all kinds of leisure activities for young and old. There is even a slip line. The staff were very friendly.

It's ok though the mall closes too early even on holidays.

It's ok though the mall closes too early even on holidays. Richards Bay is clean but when you at the open parking's of the Boardway by Bluff meat entrance, it's super untidy it's like you have moved to a different place all together. It's a little bit scarry to park and leave your car there.

The Canfields were very breath taking if you love nature.

The Canfields were very breath taking if you love nature. Empangeni Mall has almost every shop that you need. Tasted the new famous chicken restaurant called Pedro. Everything is close to each other. I mean ATMs, restaurants, gas stations and food shopping centers.

Was a great adventure, Lodge facilities very peaceful and relaxing overlooking the water hole. Homely food in the restaurant. Roads need attention, but am sure will improve with time. Communal kitchen and braai areas had everything needed. Beautiful scenery, sunrises and sunsets.

there was very little that impressed me and certainly not value for money. roads to the resort are terrible with many potholes . weekend buffet was really good but a la carte for the rest of the week is mediocre with some items not available. the complete resort needs a revamp . no effort is made to entertain guests hot pools were really good but there should have been refreshments available nearby ( 300m ) to get a cooldrink.

Mkuze is the best place to stay if you want to visit the Mkuze Game Reserve. We saw plenty at the two hides - herds of wildebeest, impala and nyala and plenty of birds. It's about 60 km to the Memorial Gate entrance to the Imfolozi-Hluhluwe Game Reserve - we got up early and got there as the gates opened to spend the day in the reserve. It's also worth driving up Jozini and taking a boat out on the dam. The hotel has a great offering of tours with their own guides.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the wonderful hospitality I received during my stay this past weekend. From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcomed. The food was exceptional and truly exceeded the value of what we paid — generous portions, great taste, and beautifully presented. Gogo’s warm and caring hospitality made the experience even more special; it is clear that she loves people and takes pride in making guests feel at home. The pool experience was also fantastic — clean, refreshing, and perfectly positioned for relaxation. I was equally impressed by the quality of the furniture and the attention to detail in the décor — everything is top-class and thoughtfully put together, creating a comfortable and elegant environment. Thank you once again for the outstanding service. I look forward to visiting again and will certainly recommend your lodge to others.

I was there for a funeral, honestly i didn't have enough time to explore the area. My driving in town was a nightmare because of the congestion. Went out to buy food and didn't have enough options to choose from.

My favorite place was being at the bon hotel and Zula.

My favorite place was being at the bon hotel and Zula. I loved the hotel food and neighborhood shisanyama. Not to forget the ice-cream nearby the hotel it was very nice. My family and I enjoyed the boat cruise and being, and we also drove to St Lucia for trip to hluhluwe to see the big five. It is not very far though it's 1 hour drive from Richard's Bay.
