“Very comfortable lodge in interesting location.”
+The staff, particularly Rebecca and Orckie were wonderful. The breakfasts and dinners were delicious. There were 2 cold wet days during our stay and the staff kept the fire going in the breakfast room and we sat there and read very comfortably. The view of the lake from the deck is pleasant and the lodge's location in dense bush is very interesting.
−It was a pity about the wet weather - it made us chose to stay inside rather than try out the walking tracks on the property.

“If you want to be in the KZN coastal forest and feel at home, go to HRL.”
+Everything!! Perfect location: it is beautifully situated with a view of the lake from the terraces; the chalets are set in the forest; the Mzenene river and Isimangaliso wetlands nearby. The food is excellent, really good with attention to detail; the wine list prices very fair. Above all, the staff made our stay unforgettable. Rebecca Dube at reception, Skhona who makes a mean Margarita, Nellie and the lady chefs were great. And Ockert, whose knowledge of birds and all things botanical and more, was a mine of information. Nothing was too much trouble! And little Adolf, the pooch, is a delight. Well done Gavin, Ockert and to all at Hluhluwe River Lodge!!
