Cleanliness
The place is good cause we needed privacy and away from town, but the place was not clean. In the bathroom the arr spider webs and ant hills under basin. We stayed for 2 days and the linen was not changed, the was dust on the study table and the pedestals. When you drain water from the tub or flash the is a awful smell dont know from where. But the receptionist Melody, she was the best 10/10.

Aunthentic bush hotel right on Olifants River
Our stay at the Bush River Lodge was very authentic and not touristy at all. Beware when booking on Hotels.com, however, as the owner said he was unaware of our arrival and was unable to prepare dinner for us due to his chef not onsite.HOWEVER, he was kind enough to drive us to a nearby restaurant which was awesome! Food was delicious & inexpensive. Rooms were very nice but the bathroom was a bit dated. Overall I would recommend this hotel and you also get to play with "Flippy" the owners adorable & lovable dog who is fluent in three different languages!

Rustic chic
Hosts were welcoming and attentive; the location was great for viewing birds and crocs. A drive out at night garnered us views of a Thick-knee, a scrub hare, and an African Civet. Breakfast on the porch overlooking the river was delicious.

Beautiful stay on the Oliphants River
Tons of wildlife in the area (monkeys, springbok, kudu, impala, baboons, birds) in a calm and peaceful location. It can be a bit of self service but you have the full kitchen and your own storage and fridge if you book a room. You must let them know the day before if you plan on having breakfast so that they can prepare for you. They have houses available. The internet in the common area works great. Evening fire pits on the deck over the river and an outside grill as well. You have to drive through a couple of other lodge areas off the main road to get to it. Edward(sp?) was great and very helpful.

Private bush hide-away surrounded by nature
Beatufiul bush hide-away not accessable to the general public. Large spacious and airy rooms. Surrounded by wildlife. Cotages build on the Olifants river with amazing veiws and sounds. Very clean, excellent service, manager amazing and check in process flawless. Self catering with full use of the excllent facilities in catering kitchen with each unit having it´s own grocery shelf and large fridge. Extremely clean throughout. Needs some maintenance on smaller things. Drain at our room needs serious attention.
