Beautiful area
Up above Hilton with a balcony overlooking a waterfall/natural area. Beautiful room. Comfortable. Not too far from shops and restaurants.

Nothing exceptional.
Place requires maintenance. Some items missing from the room but on the 2nd attempt (2nd day) this was corrected.
Other than that, it was ok.

I booked a room for my daughter to spend with her baby on her first birthday. I was away in the UK and asked the lodge if they would be able to put roses and champagne etc. in the room. And leave a birthday message from me. Lisa provided it all and made it so special for them. And had balloons and cupcakes with candles at the breakfast table. I’m so thankful to her! She went above and beyond what I expected. My daughter said it was the perfect setting to spend her daughter’s first birthday. And although they were only there for 2 nights, she felt so rejuvenated. And the meals were excellent! And the staff were so welcoming. Thank you Hilton Bush Lodge!

Secluded quiet bush experience
I wanted a secluded retreat to get some peace. This is the perfect location to relax and unwind. Nobody bothered me, the owner/manager went out of her way to accommodate me over and above what was expected. Even booking a fabulous Thai massage for me. I even got some free advice on life which I really needed.

Good venue, safe, clean etc...
Neg.
Noisey!!
So much noise comes from the other rooms, walls so thin and floors carry the noise badly. Poor design/layout, made for a terrible nights sleep in whats supposed to be a peaceful venue.
Please don't think the noise comes from bad behaviour or loud neighbors, just turning off the light in the room next door is like a herd of elephants.

The lodge needs to be upfront about the power cuts and dirt road, there were differences from the website and the reality.

Nice property. Horrible Staff
Excellent property. Horrible Staff. The person that checked us in was so condescending and disrespectful. It’s as if we were homeless people begging for accommodation. No body deserves this type of treatment.

Not all bad
Comfortable clean neat and tidy. The only problem is that you apparently need to let them know before 13 midday that you want to have dinner there or not. Surely this should be advertised on the website? Also, if you want a cold beer after a long day, please have cash with you. They apparently were not accepting credit cards.

Hidden Gem
This was my second stay at Hilton Bush Lodge. I will always stay here when doing business in Hilton. The views are spectacular (you can even see a waterfall). Extras with the coffee add a cute touch. The service is exceptional and the rooms are modern, comfortable and spotless.
