Amazing, peaceful, private and the best we were entirely surrounded by nature. It was very peaceful and cosy. Amazing seeing the animals right at your doorstep. It was a wonderful romantic getaway for my husband and me.

Have a nice time. Had a great stay, was quiet and peaceful, just what the soul needed. Ground road could be scraped, is really in a very bad condition. A small light by the braai would help, and checking on the gas before new people come in so they don't have to go out late to exchange gas on the first night.

Thank you, we will definitely visit again. The place is well equipped and we had a wonderful stay. In the evening we had a delicious braai and breathed in the fresh air. In the morning the animals came to greet us while we enjoyed coffee on the porch.

Frustrating due to the absence of some basic requirements, otherwise OK. Generally not too bad in terms of nature. The game roamed up to our unit. From that point, we quite enjoyed the experience, but it was not the best. No WiFi / Internet despite the website stating "Amenities: Includes a fully equipped kitchen, smart TV, and Wi-Fi." The gas for the hot water geyser was not switched on, and the maintenance supervisor struggled to get it going. No ice trays, so we could not have our drinks with ice. The rooms were not serviced during our entire 5-night stay unless we were prepared to pay extra. We were expected to remove the ash from the braai grid, but no utensils were supplied, and we had no idea where to put the ash. We were expected to take our domestic refuse bags to the public waste site some distance away. No garbage bags were supplied, and we had to request these from the supervisor. It was quite chilly already, and the gas system provided only lukewarm water for showering. I had to boil the kettle from the kitchen to get decent hot water for shaving.

Dear Mr Key. Thank you for your feedback. Just a note: We do not advertise WiFi or Smart TV on any of our ads or on LekkeSlaap. Since we value the sounds of nature and the escape from city life, we do not offer these facilities in order to fully connect with nature. We have sent clear instructions on how to operate the geyser and are saddened that you experienced it as not warm enough. Mbuni is a fully self-catering cottage and is serviced before the arrival of guests and after departure. Thank you for staying at Mbuni and we do value the feedback. Kind regards

Mbuni Bush cottage is just the right size for two people. Very private. We had a very nice stay, the place is just right for two people. The braai needs a light.
