Our group of 11 (city kids included) thoroughly enjoyed the weekend.
We had a very nice stay. The house and surroundings are very beautiful. Everything was clean. Good amenities. Lynette was very friendly and always helpful. Very practical. Have fun watching wildlife. The game viewing vehicle we were able to hire was a winner. Thanks for your help too.

A weekend we all did well.
What a nice visit! Gecko Lodge and Cottage has so much space, even though we had quite a few people together, you didn't fall over each other's feet. The place is perfect for a lovely visit with loved ones with a nice barbecue area and an exceptional view. In the morning you hear the lions roaring. It was a great getaway!

Nice place with nice view.
We were 4 families and really enjoyed the weekend, but the place is not toddler friendly, with 3 different levels. Very nice view, clean, tidy and well furnished (except for a bottle opener). I can recommend Gecko Lodge (if you have no or older children), with the exception of a few things (pool net that was not on as requested, WiFi password that was not correct).

Delicious and relaxing.
We had a lovely weekend and everything we could need was available. There were really no complaints and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. Perhaps the only criticism was the keys to the various rooms, they were pretty well marked but not all the doors could open, and some doors we struggled to lock again!

Nice, big stay.
The place is spacious and the rooms are cozy. The kitchen is well equipped. A toilet downstairs by the braai area would be nice. Also think the bedrooms could do with sliding locks from the inside.

A wonderful visit with a breathtaking view.
Gecko Lodge is a beautiful house, very privately located, with a breathtaking view of the nature reserve. We could gather around the fire, with the sounds of the forest around us. Lynette was very helpful in answering all our questions and requests.

Not value for money at all. Needs a lot of maintenance.
I have stayed at places in this reserve quite a few times. So far everyone has been excellent! This time not so much. It looks like it hasn't been maintained in years and that doesn't make it worth the price at all. Do not visit the place if you have small children as it is not safe at all. The balcony's wood is falling apart, some of the showers' hot water is not working, there is no pool cover, the ceiling fans are not working, etc. I was quite surprised that there was no trash in the kitchen! Wow! We eventually closed the black bags in a room because the maggots got out and because there were no people to come and take them away. Lynette also sent us a WhatsApp a few hours before we had to come and asked for a deposit - sorry but it was nowhere to be seen. And so at last? Quite the wrong bill also sent otherwise it would have been paid and my money gone with it. No what - very very poor place; rather stay away.

Dankie vir die terugvoer Wayne.
Die breekskade deposito is uiteengesit in die bespreking self. Gaan loer gerus dit is uiteengesit op die besprekingsvoorwaardes. Julle bespreek gereeld soos jy melding maak dus moet die breekskade deposito nie 'n verassing wees vir julle nie. Jammer julle het nie 'n lekker ervaring gehad hierdie keer nie. Ons sal aandag gee aan die dinge genoem. Julle het vir die verblyf geen skoonmaak dienste gereël of voor betaal nie. Daar is 'n hele paar sentrale punte waar julle julle huishoudelike rommel kan gaan sit. Daar is 'n kombuis asblik vir gaste se gebruik. Julle sakke was 'n paar keer gaan haal al het julle nie skoonmaak dienste versoek nie. Ongelukkig is jou skrywe nie akkuraat nie.

Had a great time.
What a wonderful house! The dishwasher was a big plus and the swimming pool was clean and great to cool off in! The view was great, just wish that we could stay longer! Would just recommend that they buy some gas lamps or install emergency lights for when load shedding hits.

Good value for money.
It is definitely worth the money. The place is slightly neglected and definitely needs maintenance. Already gave Lynette feedback. Potential visitors should just be aware that the road to Gecko Lodge is not suitable for a normal car at the stage. Rather drive with a van or SUV. Also a very nice place to visit.

Nice place, but short attention span and stairs are difficult for children.
Nice place, but there are stairs that are very wobbly and make it difficult with children or older people. Not all the rooms have fans and the ones that do don't work well. It's very hot and the mosquitoes eat you up. You can't leave doors open either because of the monkeys. The loft with 2 single beds does not have a fan or a plug to plug in a fan and the windows cannot be opened. The sofa bed is outside so cannot be counted as additional sleeping space for children. The shower drain in one of the rooms was blocked. We arranged for cleaning services at R250 per day, but also had to pay for the Sunday when we had already checked out.

Dankie vir die terugvoer. Sal bietjie gaan loer na die items gelys en seker maak alles is 100%. Die dame wat Saterdag die huis gediens het het laat weet dat julle twee dienste wou he. Die huis word gediens na die gaste vertrek behalwe as die gaste vra vir extra dienste gedurende verblyf. Jammer miskien moes ons meer duidelikheid gegee het vooraf.
