5We loved this place. The room was fantastic, the staff excellent, the food was some of the best we had in SA. The battlefield tours were first class with very knowledgeable guides, who left us feeling quite emotional. Nicky is continuing the fantastic work with the local children and ensuring that the voice of the Zulu people is heard. Would recommend it to anyone. In retrospect we would have liked…

5Like a house party. Guides were superb. Well worth the hair raising drive along rough roads to get there ( We did manage to get lost but were "talked down on our mobiles" back to where we should have been). Thought the recommended wine at dinner was a little expensive compared with everywhere else but then again delivering it would not have been easy !
