We'll Be Back!
Bushwillow's Boutique Red Ivory self-catering chalet in Hluhluwe is a little piece of private paradise! Surrounded by the dense sand forest, with prolific bird-life and excellent walking trails, the chalet is beautifully designed and tastefully decorated, luxuriously finished and comfortably equipped. The private plunge pool and complete tranquility offer an unforgettable opportunity to simply "breathe", relax and ENJOY! We're already planning our return journey....

10/10 Exceptional

On arrival we were greeted by Ben with a welcome cold drink, help with our luggage and a quick tour of Red Ivory, which was very well equipped and so peaceful. Huge bi-fold doors opening out onto the bush and splash pool area.The only sound constant bird song. We'd booked db&b and learned that Ben was the chef. His cooking was superb, making even our breakfasts special and serving up his delicious personal recipes for our evening meals. Then there was De Wet who was such a great host, There was much banter with him regaling us with stories of his exploits. (Many times with frowns from Ben when our food was waiting to be served!) His daily advice and knowledge was invaluable, Another Ben appeared the next morning. He looked after us at mealtimes and expertly fielded our many fauna/birding questions with great clarity & wit. Ben 2 also took us on a night bush walk. His care and knowledge was extraordinary and insightful. Thoroughly recommended. Then there was 'Si' who took us on a morning bush walk to give us a taste of tracking and birding round the beautiful reserve. Again very knowledgeable with a keen sense of humour. Kuleni is a perfect location to explore from, with Hluhluwe national park just 3/4 hours away. What made this visit very special was the warmth, friendliness and helpfulness of Bushwillow's staff. Our four nights passed far too quickly and it was a sad parting on our last morning. Thank you again to the staff, seen and unseen who made our visit so memorable.

Was a very beautiful family room (two bedroom unit). Only issue is at night it was very dark and some of the decking had weak boards and one of the workers almost fell. It was lucky it wasn’t one of the guests as we were 50km from the nearest clinic.

We had a lovely stay at Bushwillow collections. The accommodation was in great condition, the little pool much needed in the heat and being surrounded by the bush and wildlife was good for the soul. De Wet and Dane were great hosts, quick to answer any questions and always keen to engage and accommodate us. I highly recommend it and will be going back there.

Very lovely lodge in middle of interesting reserve
Bushwillow is an amazing find and we have already recommended to friends that live in the region. Under new management but from reading previous reviews, has done nothing to detract from this being a special place.

Once is a lifetime experience
Our stay at Bushwillow was unbelievable: We had a very relaxing stay and enjoyed every minute of it. The giraffes that greeted her the first time we drove through Kuleni park to our cottage, the gazelles stopping by our windows in the morning and the monkeys occasionally playing in our "backyard" were some of the "neighbours" that have made us feel like we were living on a different planet for a few days (even the crazy thunderstorm we had one night contributed to a bit of a surreal experience)... The staff was very helpful and gave a us a lot of great recommendations / arranged for many activities. Last but not least, the cooking was flawless and gave us a chance to experience some of the local flavours (the peppadew chicken was certainly memorable!). We would highly recommend Bushwillow.

Private Game Park
We had a lovely time. You are able to walk around the game area without assistance and see the animals close up. Some wart hogs lived under our room. Breakfast and Dinner were provided and were delicious. We asked for the recipe and was given it by email, so we can now enjoy making dinner and remembering of the wonderful time we had.

Bush special!
What a perfect location, set in a very private "bush" area and near to so many places to canoeingWe were in the Yellowwood double self catering accommodation. It has bifolding doors on 2 sides which open completely allowing a feeling of outdoor living. The personal plunge pool looked inviting but was just a little too cold in mid October. We had one evening meal in the lodge (ZAR200/person) and found the Amarello lodge, 2.5 km towards Sodwana Bay, for our internet fix, pizza, cocktails & beer. Lots of suggestions from Bushwillow for things to do & would really recommend the canoing with Themba. A special place which we would love to revisit.

Beautiful self-contained unit away from it all
Very clean and attractive studio suite with full kitchen. Only negative from a comfort standpoint is that there is no air-conditioning! Wonderful deck with plunge pool where you can sit and listen to the sounds in the Game Park while watching for birds and animals. It is 16 km from the nearest grocery store on good roads and the closest restaurant is 3 km away. We had a great free guided tour/nature walk within the Game park and found it very informative about the area its flora and fauna. Gives good access to neighbouring Game preserves of Hluhluwe and Mkhuze.

Stop looking, this is the one!
Had a fantastic time, the lodge has just two rooms and is situated in a small private game reserve making it quite unique, it was almost like we were the only people there with the friendly staff dedicated to just us! Would highly recomend to anyone looking for respite from the rat race. The rooms are lovely, from crisp linen to panoramic views and giraffe walking past whilst having our morning cuppa!

2/10 Poor

Horrible expérience
Nous navons pas pu dormir sur place Pas d'air conditionné ni de WiFi alors que cela était indiqué, il faisait 38 degrés dans la chambre. L'accueil s'est extrêmement mal passé car la personne ne parlait pas anglais. Le dîner devait se faire impérativement à 6h tapante. Nous avons demandé à voir le manager qui après 1h à daigné se déplacer. Il n'a pas pu régler nos problèmes et nous a proposé 50% de remboursement pour partir. Ce que nous avons fait à contre cœur...

Man muss hier gewesen sein super Service, eine morgen Fahrt und eine Abend fahrt durch den Busch mit den ganzen Tieren ist inklusive! Es gibt sogar jedesmal ein Picknick abends mit Wein und morgens mit Kaffee! Super Pool und super Blick vom Berg! Am Ende ist diese Loge eher zu günstig. Super weiter so!

Von Sternen, Strom und vogelspinnen
Tief im Busch befinden sich etwa 5 cottages, sauber und freundlich eingerichtet, sogar ein Minipool gehört dazu. Um das Haus herum schleichen Antilopen, nyalas und kudus, hüpfen Affen und krabbeln geschäftige vogelspinnen. Abenteuer pur, wenn man feststellt, dass man völlig allein ist in der Anlage, kein weiterer Gast und auch niemand von den Angestellten und plötzlich für zwei Stunden auch noch der Strom ausfällt. Dafür gibt es dann einen sensationellen Sternenhimmel und ein urwaldorchester höchster klanggüte.
