"I traveled with a group of 12 and we were nicely situated in some lovely self-catering rooms. We were especially impressed with the meal services that were brought to our room. The staff is great and we were sad to not have had more time to explore the lovely grounds and enjoy the pool or mini golf or long, lovely walks in the forest."

"My family and I stopped over at the Ultimate on route to Zimbabwe. It was close enough to the border to get a good start in the morning. Considering the price I paid, I was not expecting too much, however I was pleasantly surprised at the comfort and attention to small detail that went in to making our stay really great! PS - awesome bird life was an added bonus."

25 December 2012

"We were put in a cottage, which was just a room. Room wasn't very clean. Second night loud music and screaming till 03:00 in the morning. Management did nothing. Third night, woken up at 00.30 in the morning. Once again loud music and screaming. Could be a nice place, but needs to be better taken care of."
