"The place was immaculate with a beautifully tended garden, trees and lawns and pristine bush outside a rustic fence. Beautiful bird life. We took our dogs and our grandchildren and they were all very happy. Our host was friendly and accommodating and we would definitely return. Perhaps the only slight disappointment was the limited amount of game seen on the game drive."

"I took my Two children 12 and 8 and my mom to hope spring for 6 nights 7 days. They loved every minute of it. Lots if place to run around and the game drive was great. Will stopped every time the kids wanted to see something and even let my son get some of the local fruit to try. Rae the owner was very friendly and always had time to listen and educate the kids about the nature we were in. Rae and his family were very kind to us and we really felt welcome. It is quite and relaxing with the most amazing views. Thank you hope spring from the Cindy, Rogan, Reanne Smith and Marsie."

"I never got to check in as i did report that I'm running and the gentleman did say it was ok. And as I got to the guesthouse no one answered my called and I had to sleep in the car in a place I don't know. When i request for my money back as I did not get to stay in the place due to the guest house having line disconnection problems I'm told that I wont get my money back. I'm going to report this matter. And I'l get to the bottom of it.<div><br /></div><div>Establishments Response:</div><div><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px; background-color: #fefef0;">Thank you for taking the time to write a review as all feedback is welcomed.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px; background-color: #fefef0;">Unfortunately when you told my business partner that you were delayed you gave no indication of what time you expected to arrive.</span><br style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px; background-color: #fefef0;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px; background-color: #fefef0;">You phoned him around 6.30pm so I am sure he assumed you were talking about an hour or two. According to phone records, you called his number again (presumably for admittance) around 00.30 (half past midnight). Doubtless he was asleep. You do not appear to have called either of the other two numbers clearly shown on our entry gate. You called me early on Sunday morning and I told you that I did not feel a full refund was in order but that I was referring to SafariNow to learn from them what would be the usual procedure in a situation like that. I will revert to you as soon as I have that information.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px; background-color: #fefef0;">Needless to say, we are sorry that your visit was unsuccessful.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px; background-color: #fefef0;">With kind regards,</span><br style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px; background-color: #fefef0;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px; background-color: #fefef0;">Angie.</span></div><div><br /></div>"
