Very Clean. Excellent personal service. Beautiful garden and setting. Walking distance from iGwalaGwala Forest. Wished we could stay longer. Everybody went over and above our expectations to make our stay amazing.

iGwalaGwala forest is walking distance away from the accommodation. It is very good for birdlife e.g. Livingstone's Turaco, Blue-Mantled Crested Flycatcher and Crested Guineafowl.

The estuary is a must for birders- African Skimmers, Many species of tern e.g. Lesser-Crested, Caspian, Common etc. African Black Oystercatcher, Palm-Nut Vulture, Goliath Heron and Much More. Blue-Cheeked Bee-eaters are plentiful on the beach.

Eastern Shores is a must visit for everyone. It is home to all the Big 5, except lion. A lot of the loops off the main road are either blocked by fallen trees, or flooded by water, so you might have to turn around there, but its still worth the visit. Birds on the eastern shores include African Finfoot (at the hide at iBoma Pan), European Rollers, Many Herons and Storks including Squacco Heron, many Egrets and Storks such as Marabou and Woolly-necked.
In our two day stay (3rd and 4th of April 2023), we managed to see around 74 bird species (From the Eastern Shores, iGwalaGwala Forest and the beach and Estuary.)
