do enough to make us welcome and willingly helped us with all our queries. Special thanks to Kurt for the lovely meals. I would highly recommend Hami - I arrived late in the evening and departed early in the morning not really taking the time to enjoy the facility. The staff were great getting me to their location and taking care after I checked in. Lots of neat touches to the room and complex giving it a South Africa atmosphere. Very quiet and relaxing. A complimentary breakfast was waiting for me at the gate when I departed for Kruger at 5:30am. That was very nice.

I was heartily welcomed. The house was spacious, large bathroom with tub and shower, wonderful view to the surrounding hills from the balcony and the living, no noise beside the birds as promised; with only 5 houses it is a very private atmosphere and it is easy to socialise. Good breakfast with fresh fruit salad, served on an airy veranda. Wifi a…

We loved our stay and would go back in a hear - Rissington is situated in a tranquil countryside of Hazyview. Our rooms were upgraded to their superior rooms which very generous of the staff. Surprisely, the food at Rissington restaurant was very tasty especially the crocodile curry. In addition, we had to leave early for our onward journey and the staff kindly packaged our breakfast for the journey.

Our stay at the Lodge was very pleasant. The dinners were exceptionally good but not the breakfasts. Some staff were very friendly and others attended to their work with no enthusiasm. We handed in all relevant forms which we trust Hippo Hollow will take note of. Thank you. - The place is very refreshing with it green garden. It location is e…
