Beautiful region, great accommodation in Hluhluwe. Affordable.

Birdlife paradise, sunbird heaven, birds-of-prey, nyala, red duiker and listen to a leopard call and hyena at night, then wake up early to find the leopard tracks on the property, it 's a rush! Hluhluwe is fairly central to visit Maputaland.

Disappointing.

Our visit started off on a bad foot - the fridge wasn't switched on before our arrival, and with the terrific heat at the time, it took the whole night for it to cool. By that time our meat had thawed and milk had soured. Both aircons were faulty. We reported the fault to Martie the next morning and she promptly had them repaired, which made a huge difference. The light in the dining room didn't work and we had to replace it with a bulb from one of the bedside lamps. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. However, there is a lack of ...

Our visit started off on a bad foot - the fridge wasn't switched on before our arrival, and with the terrific heat at the time, it took the whole night for it to cool. By that time our meat had thawed and milk had soured. Both aircons were faulty. We reported the fault to Martie the next morning and she promptly had them repaired, which made a huge difference. The light in the dining room didn't work and we had to replace it with a bulb from one of the bedside lamps. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. However, there is a lack of privacy from other families on the premises, which we didn't enjoy. The kitchen door is clear glass with no curtain or blind and when the neighbours sit outside, they look right into the cottage. The cottages don't have their own designated outside areas. The bathroom is very small and, while it was adequate for the two of us, I would not like to have six people sharing it, which is how many the cottage is supposed to accommodate. Photographs of the view are misleading as the vegetation is so high that the lake is barely visible. Overall not a bad visit, but I doubt we will return.

Ou familie vakansiehuis.

Die huis is 'n ou familie vakansiehuis en kort werk. Met 'n klein bietjie kapitaal kan hierdie plek eintlik 'n wonderlike vakansieplek raak. Van die matrasse, beddegoed en elektriese ware soos die yskas en vrieskas kan vervang word. Ons is toegelaat om in albei huise te bly en die kleiner huisie is meer modern as die groter huis. Daar was in die vyf dae wat ons daar was twee keer kragonderbrekings en daar is nie voldoende voorsiening gemaak daarvoor nie. Ons wou nie in die middae terugkom na die verblyf nie.

We had a good time.

We enjoyed it a lot and had a good night's rest. Would have been nice if they could empty the rubbish bin daily.

Ons het lekker gekuier.

Ons het dit baie geniet, lekker geslaap. Sou net lekker wees as hulle die vullisdrom elke dag kon diens.

Peaceful setting!

Wonderful place to rest and relax. Lots of birds ─ we added many new names to our list. Wonderful view of the lake. Cottage had everything we needed.

Soos om by jou eie huis te wees.

Weg van alle lawaai, baie rustig. Na genoeg aan Hluhluwe en ander besienswaardighede.

Perfect hideaway and birding paradise.

We are planning to go back soon. Dinizulu should be listed by SA Birding as a birding hot spot. We counted 72 species in 2 days. We celebrated as our own lists were boosted by 19 species. Thanks to Martie and George that attended to us. The Bothmas.

Basic but very clean, nice place to get away from it all

Dinizulu cottage is a very secluded cottage, very close to False Bay reserve. Don't expect modern furnishings etc but a lovely place to settle in and chill for a short stay. Could do with a lick of paint.

Dit was rustig en daar was genoeg spasie vir 'n groot groep.

Die omgewing was goed en die huis was ruim. Alles was nie mooi skoon nie. Die braai- en kombuisgeriewe is baie goed.

Very good, nice and quiet location with great view and nice garden.

Very nice surroundings/location/garden. Spacious. Owners are very friendly. We enjoyed it very much!
