"We liked the lounge area in your courtyard. What we didnt very much appreciate was the tinned fruit at breakfast. This was a real disappointment and not done in a country which has so much fresh and delicious fruits everywhere you go! The safe in our room was not attached to the wall, so not much good. The rooms were very small and there were no international TV channels. Considering the price we paid, we thought the value for money wasnt very good."
"Absolutely enjoyed my stay at Forest Lodge, would recommend it to anyone. Great hospitality."

"We had an amazing time in Forest Lodge. We arrived a little bit earlier than the check-in time and still let us stay in our rooms. The place is really pretty and close to the main amenities. The breakfast was good too."
"The ladies at reception are wonderful and friendly and very helpful. They made our stay all the more happier.The wonderful ladies at reception even allowed us to use the lodge kitchen to make our own dinners. The lodge is new and has a beautiful garden. Hippos grazing outside the lodge made the evenings more special.Thank you all. We will definitely be back."
"The establishment is well situated in terms of area and access to other places like town, crocodile places and Cape Vidal. It is a nice place to be at and good for relaxing and holidaying. I enjoyed myself."
"Friendly staff and very accommodating.Rooms are nice and breakfast also great.Might have liked a TV in the room on a longer stay."
