A very enjoyable stay. Our accommodation was very comfortable, clean and neat. The outside braai area was enjoyable to use and provided a safe and open environment to enjoy the many animals that visited the property. Overall, a very enjoyable stay.

Great! Great! It was absolutely an experience. We had an absolutely wonderful time. The watering hole in front of our house was a big attraction. Great! Great! Will definitely come again and recommend it to friends.

Wonderful getaway. Kudu Crest is a fantastic place. Very neat with a nice patio and swimming pool. Braai facilities are also very nice. Will definitely stay there again.

Perfect, will go back again. Ideal for a big family or friends. Great, spoilt with extras such as wood and animal pellets, a double door fridge, etc. A small pool, two braai areas, upstairs bedrooms, toilet/shower, and roll-up tent blinds. Wake up to the sounds of birds.

Amazing stay. The location is absolutely stunning, and the decor is a beautiful blend of elegance and nature. The setting is truly perfect, especially with the Boma area adding a magical touch. What makes it even more surreal is that the animals roam freely through the property, creating an experience unlike any other. It feels like you're part of the wild, yet completely at home. The house itself is equipped with everything you could possibly need, making it both luxurious and convenient. From the moment we arrived, we felt cared for and comfortable. The host checked in on us regularly, ensuring we had everything we needed. He even kept us informed about a brief power cut, but this wasn’t an issue at all—thanks to the house's strong solar system and backup power supply, we never experienced any disruption. It truly was an unforgettable stay, blending the beauty of nature with the comforts of modern living.
