Die gasvryheid van die chef tot die assistente was awesome.

Ons het baie lekker gebly en baie lekker geëet. Pragtige plek en lekker gekuier.

Die mooiste huis met die beste kos in die bos, 'n klipgooi van Gauteng!

Ons het die lekkerste naweek by Kubu gehad! Die huis is pragtig, toegerus met die beste van alles en 'n "view". Sarina maak seker alles is blinkskoon, sy is vriendelik en dit was lekker om nooit oor enige iets te bekommer nie, Sarina doen alles, van beddens tot skottelgoed! En die kos, wow! Hennie is 'n uitvoerende sjef, hy het die heerlikste, die mooiste, die beste kos voorgesit. "Fine dining" in die bos onder die sterre - en die porsies is Suid-Afrikaanse grootte! Hennie was definitief "the Star of Kubu" vir ons gewees. Ons het gevoel soos "royalty", bederf met die beste van alles. Hennie is beide professioneel en gasvry - 'n seldsame vonds! Baie dankie vir die beste naweek!

The most beautiful house with the best food in the bush, a stone's throw from Gauteng!

We had the best weekend at Kubu! The house is beautiful, equipped with the best of everything and a "view". Sarina makes sure everything is sparkling clean, she is friendly and it was nice to never have to worry about anything, Sarina does everything from beds to dishes! And the food, wow! Hennie is an executive chef, he served the most delicious, the most beautiful, the best food. "Fine dining" in the forest under the stars - and the portions are South African sized! Hennie was definitely "the Star of Kubu" for us. We felt like "royalty", spoiled with the best of everything. Hennie is both professional and hospitable - a rare find! Thank you very much for the best weekend!

Ongelooflik.

Ons het ongelooflik lekker gebly by Kubu Lodge en sal vir seker weer daar inboek! Hennie en Sabrina het ons bederf met die beste diens. Met aankoms was ons verwelkom met heerlike snacks en welcome drinks. Die kos was uit die boonste rakke en ons het onsself trommeldik geëet. Die lodge is mooi netjies en skoon en mens voel net tuis. Ons was behandel soos royalty deur Hennie wat ons heeltyd bedien het met eet-en drinkgoed en hy het heeltyd seker gemaak ons is gemaklik en happy. Die uitsig oor die bosveld en rivier met die bokkies of seekoeie wat daar verby loop is asemrowend. In die aand is die sterrehemel verruklik mooi en helder. Ons was die dag na aankoms bederf met 'n wildrit en 'n cooler bag vol lekker eetgoed en drinkgoed wat Hennie vir ons gepak het, ons het klomp diere gesien soos kameelperde, vlakvarke, njalas, waterbokke, kudus, springbokke, renoster ensomeer. Baie dankie vir die fantastiese verblyf en dat julle die ekstra myl gestap het om ons te akkommodeer.

Unbelievable.

We had an amazing stay at Kubu Lodge and will definitely check in again! Hennie and Sabrina spoiled us with the best service. Upon arrival we were welcomed with delicious snacks and welcome drinks. The food was top notch and we gorged ourselves. The lodge is pretty neat and clean and you just feel at home. We were treated like royalty by Hennie who served us all the time with food and drink and he always made sure we were comfortable and happy. The view over the woodland and river with the goats or manatees walking past is breathtaking. In the evening the starry sky is delightfully beautiful and clear. The day after arrival we were spoiled with a game drive and a cooler bag full of good food and drinks that Hennie had packed for us, we saw lots of animals such as giraffes, warthogs, wildebeest, waterbuck, kudus, springbok, rhinoceros and more. Thank you very much for the fantastic stay and for going the extra mile to accommodate us.

You will never want to leave.

What a truly magnificent spoil! I took my team of ladies to Khubu Lodge and we were greeted with bubbles and snacks. The drive to the lodge was filled with elephants, giraffe, buck, warthogs and more. Stepping out onto the deck we were treated to a view of Khubu (the resident hippo) and his family playing in the water. The views are spectacular and the sense of rest and rejuvenation is out of this world. We opted for the full experience with our executive chef, the awesome Hennie. We gorged on duck, lamb shanks (to die for) and the most amazing Malva pudding - I would go back just for that dish! James the owner assisted with also arranging a game drive in the afternoon, Hennie packed us a snack pack with drinks and we were given blankets for the cooler evening. The game ranger had incredible knowledge and our ladies and the other guests on the drive thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We arrived back to the lodge for more treats and spoils with a Snoek starter, that tasted like more! The fillet was out of this world and the Dullstroom Trout - stuffed with couscous - was delish. This is all paired with the most amazing wines. To finish off the evening we were treated to a mouthwatering salted caramel cheesecake. We ended the evening sipping on more vino while we again got a sighting of Khubu and his family. The next morning we were treated to a fully cooked breakfast, as well as continental breakfast and freshly baked muffins along with great cups of coffee. Our biggest regret was only booking 1 night as we didn't want to leave! I highly recommend this amazing destination for a work getaway, couples spoil and with friends and family. Thank you James and Hennie for truly spoiling us. We will be back very very soon.
