Overrated and Poor Management

Reviewed By lbradb679509

Totally disgusted with our stay. On arrival, the spa staff were not friendly. Husband and I had a massage in the same room. Not worth the money... therapists need training. Room that we were given was great, except there were 3 screaming children. We were moved, to a room that had no view and could still hear the screaming children. No apologies from management or advisement to the person of the children to quiten down. 3 days of screaming. 7am to 7pm. No quietness!!! Made a bath one night, couldn't let the water out. Went to management who sent 2 staff with a broom to open the water outlet. Next day was advised by the 1 staff member it was fixed. No apologies from management. Made another bath, tried to let the water out... didn't work. For a 4 star place, that is expensive, one would assume that everything works.. and that management engage with their patrons. Don't go there if you want to relax and unwind. Total waste of money and too stressful. Most disappointing.

Disappointing Experience

Reviewed By Michael7472020

When we arrived, the welcoming was rather cold and unfriendly, however, information was given about restaurants in the vicinity. Our room, the Honeymoon Suite, was really smelly, as if it had not been ventilated for weeks. The same smell was captured in the towels in the bathroom, where there was a candle holder with candles that were completely bent, probably due to high heat, but had never been exchanged. There was a spider web on the ground next to the bath tub. The refrigerator was not clean. I would not book again.

Great little private B&B

Reviewed By wcharl742087

We were greeted by a very well maintained facility. The gentlemen that greeted us was quick efficient and friendly. Room were very clean and well provisioned. The power went off for about two hours in the evening, but the room stayed “comfortable” until the power was restored. Unclear as to why power went out, but in morning found a emergency light outside our door so the operator was proactive.

Family Fun and Birders Paradise

Reviewed By simonvincentjohnson

We had a wonderful long weekend at Umkhumbi with our three young kids in the newly developed self catering chalets. Excellent accommodation in a beautiful sand forest setting. We walked and road bikes and enjoyed the amazing bird life and animals. Special birds including Neergards Sunbird and Woodward’s Batis. Missed the Narina Trogon, Green Malkoha and African Broadbill but will definitely return for another stay. Anton and Emma were great hosts and Anton’s reptile exhibition an eye opener and something we will all remember. Kids didn’t want to leave and neither did we!! Couldn’t recommend the place enough.

Five Star what a Joke

Reviewed By Discover58558550153

Perfect Location supposed to be Five Star, and a really special holiday for our Family and Grandchildren after being separated for two years. Nothing worked in this place, they were not expecting us, it was filthy, we couldn’t unpack, it was a non smoking place and every bedroom had cigarette stumps in it and the place was vile with the smell of smoke. Offered a gas BBQ and a charcoal one. Either had seen a clean in months. The roof leaked all over the house and eventually tripped the electricity. The cost of the place was expensive, so we expected a lot more for our money. We were told by the owner that @£&! Happens, and then when we quietly complained he asked us why did we come to a place we obviously could not afford??? But he received his money in £’s and was paid the full amount in advance. What a shocking defamatory comment. On leaving we were given a checkout time of 10.30 and the cleaning staff arrived at 7.30, and we could not even have breakfast, let alone pack up. We asked for some form of compensation this has called on deaf ears and Booking.com could not give a continental. They are just happy to play pass the parcel. I would not recommend this place to my worse enemy let alone my friends. Andrew Smale you need to do some serious DIY and get a personality transplant and also some people skills. I would have rather slept in my car.

Imani Bush House & Silver Sky Chalet

Silver Sky Chalet is Amazing

Reviewed By Chad R

My wife used to be a travel agent and we have travelled far and wide and we can honestly both say that our Stay at Imani Silver Sky Chalet was outstanding and value for money. From the moment we booked and our interaction with Kennedy we were very impressed. The accommodation is comfortable with all the necessary attention to detail within the cottage. The walks in the reserve were awesome and we got up close with some Nyalas, Zebras, A Giraffe and even a Black Necked Cobra. On Sunday morning at 2am we heard “pitter patter” on the roof and when outside to investigate, only to be welcomed by two very cute bushbabies or were more than happy to share a banana with us. Between the splash pool and the Aircon the stifling heat was driven away and after our photos were uploaded to Facebook, many friends and family members have indicated that they two want to experience the “Imani Adventure” Well done and 5 stars !!!
