"Very beautiful historic property with great views & location.
On negative side
-large airy village units only have warmish water not hot
- village units outdoor showers had waist high weeds
- supper menus are 5 course set menus that are repeated & are expensive for quality
- restaurant staff lacking management & training
- receptionists could do hostessing/oversight at meal times & spot checks on housekeeping/condition of units and gardens to support and train staff but do not
- lack of comfy...

"Wir hatten ein hübsches Chalet mit reetgedecktem Dach. Das Auto parkte direkt daneben unter einem Baum. Auf dem Gelände gibt es Springbok und andere Tiere zur ständigen Beobachtung. Auch ein Schwimmbad mit Liegen und Schattenplatz ist auf dem Gelände.
Das Hotel liegt an einer Straße und an einer Farm. Beide können Lärm verursachen, wie auch einige Wildvögel oder Tiere aus dem am Hotel gelegenen Tierpark mit sehenswerter Großvoliere."

"Bukela is a beautiful stay, facilities are great, friendly staff and our ranger (Sim) was very knowledgeable. Foodwise is really below average, just not good especially for a 5* resort. It felt like diner was prepared during the day and heated up in the evening, just not fresh. Breakfast was really poor. Only meal that was good was the lunch. No snacks during the day. Due to this matter i will not likely to visit Bukela again nor reconmend to anyone which is regretful as the staff and facilities...

"Camp Figtree was absolutely wonderful - stunning location, wonderful lodgings, fabulous food, and the loveliest people...It's a very special place and we felt a real pang when it was time to leave. Everything was managed smoothly throughout with fab communication from Karin who arranged transfers and safari days for us (and was very patient with assorted queries!) before we even arrived. All the team we met were fantastically welcoming...to name a few, Wicky (excellent driving and conversation),...

This is an "Out of Africa" style tented camp with no electricity! Visitors stay in quaint, private tents with private bathrooms. Daily safari's are led by knowledgeable guides. Ample food and beverages are included. There's room for 6 visitors total, so the experience is intimate and the staff treat you like family. Definitely worth experiencing. They handled our transportation to and from Port Elizabeth Airport.

Exceptional stay at Camp Figtree - the staff were absolutely outstanding and there was nothing that wasn't anticipated. Meals were superb, game drives were wonderful, nature walk was tremendous, and simply lying around the pool was amazing. Everything was out of this world.

Exceptional property, design, and experience with top hospitality. The common areas are picture-perfect overlooking small waterholes frequently visited by playful warthogs, curious antelope, and brightly colored birds while you eat breakfast and lunch. The villa interior surprised us in every corner from little aesthetic details, unexpected offerings in the cupboard, local bedtime stories at turndown, or staff leaving wine and glasses by the bathtub our first night. The private pools are...

Très bel hôtel avec une vue magnifique sur la vallée avec des orangers.
Les chambres sont hyper spacieuses et cerise sur le gâteau, j ai retrouvé la voiture lavée le lendemain sans avoir rien demandé. Petit déjeuner excellent et personnel très attentionné y compris Archie le patron qui donne de bons conseils

Truly, a five star experience that went above and beyond expectations because of Ranger John! He is an expert level two ranger; has deep knowledge of the nature and history of the land is completely unparalleled! There are many times where he was able to see animals that no one else could see because of his 40 years of experience in the bush. On one of the game drives, he smelled a carcass, and we went to explore the carcass and subsequently which led us to who hidden lions that were finished...
