We felt well taken care of. The athmosphere Was comely and we felt welcome. My wife and I were completly satisfied. The quiet surroundings, the beautiful garden, inviting to take a morning stroll and a good breakfast. The tip, which restaurant to go to, proved to be exzellent.

Very good overall. Dave is very friendly and helpful!
Breakfast was really good even for my wife that doesn't eat any pork or red meat.
If I had to mention a small issue it would be that the curtains and blinds are too light and allows quite a bit of light through. We are used to 100% blockoput at home but really cannot expect it everywhere we go.

Otherwise, I will definitely visit again.

Thanks Johan, glad you enjoyed your stay.
I will check the curtains out in the room you stayed in as they should be good enough to keep out the light, but as you say its one of those things and people do have very different preferences with regards to the amount of light/darkness they prefer.
All the best and we look forward to seeing you both again.

Had a fantastic time at Sunbird Lodge. Dave could not do enough for us - booking restaurants and going out of his way to chase delayed baggage.
Breakfasts were excellent and plentiful, lovely pool and peaceful gardens with plenty of bird life.
I highly recommend this lodge and we will definitely return next time we are in Phalaborwa - thankk you Dave and Sam for your wonderful hospitality.

Room tip: Our party had 5 rooms and all were comfortable, spacious and clean.

Thank you Russ.
It was lovely to meet the two families and we are really pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. Hopefully all came good with the bags in the end, but I am sure you all had a good holiday regardless.
Until next time, the very best wishes from us all.

Another great stay at Sunbird Lodge, it's our go to for our night before going into Kruger.

Once again regretted it was only one night as we feel so at home here, especially with Dave's hospitality. Cosy rooms with everything you would need and a lovely breakfast.

Hopefully we'll stay longer next time. Would recommend tonanyone as a perfect stop off after a long drive from Jo'burg to stop, and chill beside the pool looking out for birds.

Room tip: Let them know in advance and they'll book restaurants etc during your stay
