Great swimming pool and nice restaurant. Lots of bird and gardens. The staff was friendly and helpful. They hooked me up with the tours. It was great except I did get lots of mosquito bites. Next time I’ll use more repellent. You can Easily take a shared taxi for 5 pula.

I was in a safari tent for 3 nights. A great value! You have to ask for towels. They were not in the room. Staff were wonderful. Place was clean and the outdoor bathroom was charming.

My tent was clean and the staff were very nice. My “amenities” included toilet paper, 4 condoms, but no bath towel! Outdoor bathroom was lovely, but the overhang did not cover the toilet, so when it rained…….

This was my second time using this place and the same disappoint came again- the horrible boat cruise experience. The first time some years ago we were stuck in middle of a river, had to plead with a passing boat to jump in, I had an infant and my mother and wife. No apology whatsoever came. This time around . Another of their terrible boat cruise offering jammed with us and struggled to move untill it was literally dark and the only one left, What bothers me is that nobody apologised for all this trauma.

The garden surrounds and leafy setting around the accommodation were lovely. The soft furnishings in the restaurant areas were tired and a bit grubby. Dinner and breakfast was uninspiring with ordinary presentation. We found a restaurant in town that served much better food. We stayed in a glamping tent, which was fine. Suggest that the tents need a mirror in the bathroom and a bedside table. Towel racks or hooks in the bathroom would have enabled towels to dry. Staff were attentive and friendly.

Very nice location, with big beautiful gardens with lots of lakes and birds. The bar and the pool area are very nice and we spent a great time swimming and chilling out. Restaurant offers a big menu and everything we tried was tasty and reasonable priced. We slept in a fornitured tent that was spacious but too hot, even with a fan on. The shared toilets and showers were always a bit dirty and they were definitely too old. We had a bit of trouble at the check-in. They put us in a tent that was already occupied. Also they told us that the accommodation was not paid yet but it was (by Hotels.com). Apart from that everything was nice and the staff was polite.

We stayed in one of the safari tents and it was much more comfortable than we expected. The staff went above and beyond to help accommodate us. They found us a free tent at 6am when we arrived, helped us arrange bus tickets and were knowledgeable about any questions we had. The pool was cold but that’s what happens in winter. There were many places to relax around. It was a wonderful experience.

Overall, the stay was fine. The rooms were small and in need of some repairs and the furniture was broken. Needs new flooring in the room. The bathroom was nice though the only window that opened was very small and did not have a screen. The pool area was nice. The restaurant took 1.5 hours to get our food.
