Thank you so much for the housekeeper and Alecia to be so friendly and helpful a very special thanks to all of you

Thank you for this wonderful stay. You have nice and great staff. We would like to recommend the spider walk! This is a great experience, even as nice as game drives!! Seeing the scorpions was a huge surprise, thank you Ryan.
We also did the nice bushwalk and the markets. We love the animals around the park, waking u with Nyala`s in front of the door.
We will recommend your beautiful cottage

Stayed in Cottage

We had a great stay at Bushwillow Cottage. The Cottage was well equipped and the staff was friendly. We would like to thank the staff for going out of their way in providing us with a snack/breakfast basket for the game drive on very short notice. Thank you for the wine as well, it was a very nice surprise. We enjoyed the three warthogs that stayed close by.

We had a fantastic time at Bushwillow Cottage, thank you to all the staff for being so friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the Spiderwalk and the Bushwalk and all the other activities organized by Alecia and you made our stay really fabulous

We really enjoyed our stay!! The staff is really helpful and we had a lovely dinner. It was a nice experience without TV and WIFI and only the nature and the private atmosphere. We recommend the spider walk and the morning walk! We hope to return soon.
PS. Thank for helping us plan our activities.

We had a lovely time! So quiet! And even though the Bush was dry it was magical.
If you book directly you get a complimentary bush walk which is very interesting! The stars are beautiful out in the bush. We will definitely do the stargazing next time. You're friendly & hospitable tips were much appreciated. Hope to see you soon.

We had a very nice stay in one of the superior cabins. Excellent location within natural reserve, potential close encounters with zebras, giraffe and many other animals. Excellent birding.
