Phezulu Safari Park

Beautiful views over the valley.

I'll definitely be back! We stayed twice in 2 different chalets in December. Staff are commendable and polite. The restaurant is beautiful with stunning views. I think the chalets could do with a revamp as this would only enhance the stay. Some things were broken and for such a beautiful venue, the chalets and reptile park would be my first priority in maintaining. I would suggest a microwave in Plane Tree and fixing the bathroom and kitchen cupboards. The countertop in Cabbage Tree is so wide that you can't reach the little stove. Also, a plug for the kettles so you don't have to move them all the time and unplug other appliances. Just little things, but they make a big difference. All in all, loved the staff, the concept and the setting.

Terrible stay, won't advise anyone to book the self-catering here.

Absolutely terrible! Self-catering units are in a terrible condition and had a terrible stink. Our unit was not ready almost an hour after check-in. We had to ask for a fan and iron as the unit did not contain one and it was terribly hot. The front desk lady tried her best to help, but the unit was in a terrible condition overall. The lodge room we were offered was very well kept, but my kids wanted self-catering. The bath tub was stained, walls had brown stains on them, carpets stank, no Wi-Fi. The kitchen was outdated and smelled to a point you didn't even want to use a cup, so we bought some disposable cups and plates. I did take pictures of everything; unfortunately, we don't have an option to upload here. It was two days before Christmas, so we were not able to get alternative accommodation. The fresh towels were the only good thing about the unit. My kids' birthday was miserable as we looked forward to a nice relaxing stay. For the amount they charge, it was such a waste of money. The pool was lovely and the restaurant was good.

Dit was verskriklik lekker.

Die uitsig was onbeskryflik mooi.

Beautiful location.

It rained heavily on our arrival. Unfortunately it limited our exploring.

Good stay, place was clean and we enjoyed it.

We stay overnight with family and friends and enjoyed our stay very much.

Lovely place to stay.

Room needs a little TLC. Carpets need cleaning, heater cracked, bed leg was broken, couch had a tear, plug didn't have a cover. General upkeep needs attention.

Personeel uiters vriendelik en hulp vaardig.

Baie stil en rustig, geen lawaai, terrein netjies en maklik toeganklik.

Verblyf was rerig fantasties.

Baie lekker tyd met my gesin gehad. Chalets is rêrig skoon. Personeel baie gasvry. Zoeloe danse en inligting oor Zoeloes asook reptielpark was 'n belewenis en dis goedkoop. Sal beslis weer gaan.

It was great.

I enjoyed my stay at Phezulu.

Baie swak en onprofessioneel, glad nie die geld werd nie.

Toe ons daar aankom het dit al bietjie lae-klas gelyk, ons het toe in die lodge ingegaan by reception om ons in te boek, die vrou Magda sê toe vir ons dat ons 'n dag vroeg is, ons het duidelik al ons papiere wat die datums stel. Sy sê toe na 'n ruk ons moet nie worry nie, alles is fine. Sy boek ons toe in Kamer 1 in, ek sal punte onder stel waarmee ons nie gelukkig was nie. Die badkamer was nie en suite soos dit belowe was op die blad nie, ons moes 'n badkamer gebruik wat anderkant die gang was, ek was heelpad bekommerd dat iemand anders in die lodge die badkamer gebruik as ek wou in gaan. Die ketel het nie eers 'n plug naby die tafel nie, ons moes die ketel op die grond sit waar die enigste plug in die kamer was, my meisie moes ook op die vloer gaan sit om haar hare te gaan doen. Daar is nie eers 'n plug by die spieël nie. Toe ons inboek sê die vrou daar is nie 'n TV nie soos wat belowe was op die blad. Sy sê toe sy sal plan maak om een te kry. Ons wag toe in die kamer nadat ons ons bagasie uitgepak het, Magda kom toe met 'n TV aan en ek help hulle maar toe om die TV te mount na 'n gesukkel. Op die oomblik wou ek my goed pak en net ry, want dit is so onprofessioneel en ons het glad nie tuis gevoel met die tipe diens wat ons ontvang het nie. Ons loop toe maar om bietjie te gaan ontspan en net lug te vat, ons het gedink om te gaan swem. Raai wat? Die swembad was grasgroen en net baie vuil. Dit het ons totaal afgesit en ons het so uitgesien na swem. Ons hou toe ons hoop hoog en gaan na die reptile park. My word, was ek nog nooit so ongemaklik nie. Helfte van die slanghokke se vensters/glas was gekraak. Die spinnekoppe word in plastieklaaie gehou ons het nie eers die laaie oopgemaak nie. Daar was een slang wat dood gehang het aan 'n tak. En die ergste van als is die 3 m lange krokodille wat net met ogiesdraad omhein is. As hulle wou het ek geen twyfel hulle sal daar deur kom. Ons het so onveilig en onrustig gevoel dat ons toe met 'n spoed daar uit is. Ons neem toe maar die moeilike besluit om maar oor te bly omdat dit so duur was en dat ek baie geld sou verloor as ons net gegaan het. Die volgende oggend was toe die ontbyt gewees, ons moes toe 'n tafel deel met 'n gesin van 'n ander kamer. Hulle het nie genoeg tafels om vir elke kamer een te gee nie. Weereens so ongemaklik gevoel en awkward om die tafel met mense wat ons nog nooit tevore gesien het nie. Ek was so kwaad gewees. Die uitsig op die stoep lyk soos iemand se agterplaas, glad nie 'n mooi uitsig nie. Daar was gesê op die webtuiste dat daar onderdakparkering is, alhoewel dit waar is daar was nie genoeg onderdakparkering vir al die karre nie. Ek moes my kar buite in die son stop. Niemand is Afrikaans soos die webtuiste mention nie. Die foto's en marketing van die plek koop 'n mens om, as ek hulle 'n telling kan gee uit 10 is dit 'n eerlike 2. Die plek is nie die moeite werd nie, dit was 'n absolute flop. Die plek sal ons nooit weer sien nie.

Lekker!

Goeie diens, skoon, mooi. Lekker plek.

Baie gerieflik en stil, met alles wat jy nodig het!

Sien sterre.

Perfect.

We have travelled well, we had a great stay at Phezulu Safari Park. Our room was perfect and we were welcomed and we felt as if we were not far from home, staff is very friendly and the manager is so loving and the place is so beautiful and clean from the outside. I loved the part where they celebrated my sister's birthday with style, something I never thought of and she was very happy for the surprise, she even wanted to cry. Phezulu is the best and we are planning on going back soon. It was unfortunate that we had to leave before our checking out day because we had a call from home that forced us to go back home, but otherwise we enjoyed our stay, not far from the beaches, Shaka Marine, North beach, animal farm, museums, Umhlanga Rocks, Moses Mabida Stadium and many more.

Die diens was nie baie professioneel nie en stadig. In die toekoms sal ek nie weer in Phezulu se lodge bly nie maar liewers die chalets.

Die diens was stadig en onprofessioneel en nie baie vriendelik nie. Daar was nie genoeg tafels vir ontbyt nie en dit was warm met geen waaiers nie. Bietjie ongeorganiseerd.

Prachtig gelegen, zeer rustgevende omgeving

Goed bereikbaar en centraal gelegen, prachtige locatie om even tot rust te komen. Zeer goed uitgeruste onderkomens, netjes en schoon.

Awesome.

Baie netjies. Rustig en mooi ligging.

We had a pleasant stay.

We had a pleasant stay and felt very safe!

Waarde vir geld!

Baie netjiese kamers en veilige area - behulpsame personeel!

Comfortable.

The accommodation is value for money, it was clean. It was very cold but we had enough blankets to keep us warm, surely we will go again in summer to enjoy all the facilities. It is a lovely place for a family.

We enjoyed our stay.

The staff were welcoming, things could be updated, but it was great value for money.

Comfortable, well kept lodge room in a beautiful setting!

We unfortunately only stayed at Phezulu Safari Park for one night - however, it was lovely. The restaurant is stunning with a panoramic view of the Valley of 1000 hills, food is great and well priced too. We also spent a good 2 hours at the reptile park, with our own personal guide truly enriching the experience. All in all, it was high quality accommodation, for a very good price, with great, friendly and efficient staff. I would highly recommend it.

Prachtig.

Een heel mooi huis op een sprookjes achtige lokatie. De Zulu dans show is alleen leuk voor kleine kinderen! Leuk voor een of twee dagen.

Baie rustig en skoon.

Lekker gebly. Alles mooi en skoon en baie rustig. Sal weer daar gaan bly.

A tranquil and scenic place to relax.

Phezulu Safari Park is the ideal getaway from a steassful daily routine of work and home responsibilities. Being surrounded by the beautiful and gentle rolling hills is nourishment for the soul.

Perfect getaway

Beautiful view and tons of activities, and the burgers to die for!

Breathtakingly beautiful!

Please see the stars.

Breathtaking, peaceful and perfect getaway.

Phezulu Safari Park is the ideal getaway from the stressful daily routines of work and home responsibilities. Although it rained for our entire stay, it was still beautiful. My hubby and I thoroughly enjoyed our time away. The room we stayed in was perfect, clean and well kept. Would definitely go there again!

Breathtaking views!

If you want to experience KwaZulu-Natal, this is the place to be. Stunning views and a good vibe.

Peaceful place to be

Phezulu Safari Park is a nice place to be if you really want to rest and enjoy living next to the wild animals. The place is highly secured and offers lot of fun activities you can enjoy.

Beautiful location with awesome sunsets.

Most beautiful sunsets, beautiful never-ending views. Great location. Could do with more emphasis on cleanliness (e.g. linen) though.

Basic self catering accommodation.

Extra glasses & luggage storage space would have been nice. Cupboard space limited. Running toilet needed to be turned on and off. Extra mirror outside the bathroom would be useful. Fitted mattress protector for hygienic reasons.
