Individual suites and then a main house is epic. Felt like a mini hotel. Had elephants walk right next to the fence which was amazing to see! Definitely will be back!!! Eric is also such a great host

Nothing at all

There was nothing to dislike....everything was brilliant

Would like to have a chest freezer

Experiencing the Bush in 5 Star Luxury. Eric and Sue the hosts were very accommodatinging and helpful. Excellent hosts

An arlircon in the living area in summer would have, been deal however the ceiling fans was helpful

loved that it was on a reserve because we saw lots of animals. great amount of space, and really nice furnishings.

Wi-Fi in the bedrooms would be nice but it wasn't a big deal.

The lodge, the view, the style Staff very friendly and helpful It was easy to reach the lodge

The dust road from the gate to the lodge

Ngala's Rest is perfect! I can't complain about a thing... the open plan concept for the lounge, kitchen is dining is beautifully laid out and furnished. We also loved the fact that everyone could retire to their own rooms and then gather again to chill out and eat. We had the best time as a family and will hopefully return (without the kids this time). We also enjoyed the game drive and got to see a leopard! The children had a great time at the swimming pool and play area. Eric is an awesome host...very responsive, helpful and patient. Thank you for trusting us with your place.

Nothing at all :-)

Eric was a terrific host patiently answering all of our numerous queries, as well as organising our game drives. Ivy the housekeeper was excellent, even neatly putting away the kids’ clothes that had been left in a mess. Ngalas Rest is an outstanding property in the heart of the bush bordering KNP. The tranquility of the location is second to none. Bear in mind the rooms do not interconnect so may be issue if visiting with younger children. You can expect some growling and grunting noises after dark which we found thrilling once behind locked doors but disconcerting when walking (never run!) from the common area to bedrooms or between rooms, despite the fact that it’s merely a few seconds’ trek… Nonetheless the place is a true gem overall. Don’t miss a visit (or two in our case…) to River Lodge garden overlooking the main KNP, less than a ten minute walk, where there are panoramic views of the Crocodile River; see how many hippos and crocs you can spot, besides for anything else that cares to amble down to the river bank. The views are a scene straight out of National Geographic (albeit without David Attenborough’s commentary in the background…)

Perhaps a couple of basic essentials in the kitchen such as tea, coffee, sugar etc for those who may have forgotten to bring along their own (as in our case). There is a small shop nearby so not end of the world but would be helpful.

I absolutely loved the comfort of the bedrooms, by far the most comfortable place I have ever stayed over in. The environment was equally serene and I could not have asked for a better holiday destination. The host Eric went out of his way to accomodate me and even managed to save my holiday by helping to organize a game drive when our tour company's vehicle broke down. Truly a wonderful experience which words cannot explain. You have to experience it yourself.

Everything was perfect
