This is the only place we returned to from our 2019 stay and again we absolutely loved it. This time we booked Mkhulu's house. If you have a family this is the best! Yes, you have to walk 2 mins up a little sandy path to the main compound, but the house is amazing! You overlook the Hluhluwe river and the estuary, lovely verandahs, several BBQ places, fantastic bedrooms, the house is vast, the kitchen, the dining and living room are huge. Lots of interesting books and a private pool too! If I could i would buy "Grandfathers house". We love the food so much at the Lodge that we changed our mind and postponed self catering to the next place. Everybody is lovely, warmhearted and helpful. The staff rock this place and every second day the general manager comes around, he knows everything about birds! The only downside: it is a bit of a drive from everywhere (45min to Hluhluwe Umfolozi Park) and the walks at False Bay Park are done in a day. It depends whether you want to do lots of activities or whether you came to unwind. If this review hasn't convinced you yet: every second evening a Genet joins the dinner crowd to get her share ;-)

We went with our family, 2 children, 6 years old and 10 years old to the lodge. An exceptionel view to the lake of St Lucia, a friendly staff, delicious food and a very good breakfast. There are a lot of activities in the neighbourhood from the lodge. ( game drive, visit of the Cheetahs, …)

Komfortable wooden guesthouses are situated in the forest - nyalas and impalas wandering trough. Very nice lobby with a nice view on False Bay. There is a nice trail for birders and hikers around and you can look in a lot of books, which birds you have seen. Also the pool ist situated between the bushes. Delicious breakfast and dinner are available. Very helpful and kind stuff!

I had an exceptional experience at Hluhluwe River Lodge during a two-night stay with my wife. The food surpassed my expectations, ranking as the best I've encountered in various lodges. The staff's competence and friendliness, highlighted by their swift resolution of a noisy animal issue, added to the positive impression. A unique and memorable aspect was the manager's tour showcasing the fascinating microcosm of scorpions and tiny creatures around the lodges – a highly recommended experience that left a possitive and lasting impact.

Very kind and helpfully staff (we had to do a covid test for next part of the travel and reception provided very efficient assistance), nice installations and excellent food. Magnificent view. We saw several beautiful inhalas walking around in the evening. Good gateway to umfolosi reserve.

Some context: First trip to South Africa and after nearly a week in Cape Town attending a wonderful business event, this was to be my first time seeing (as my native South African friends told me) ‘the real Africa.’ Hluhluwe River Lodge has set the bar very high! A friend and I were greeted by a friendly and engaged staff member while our luggage was swiftly wheeled to our respective chalets. After an hour long walk on one of the nature trails, a first rate steak dinner, accompanied by a wonderful high-value South African Pinotage, was served on the outdoor terrace and I could sense I was in for a special couple of days. My chalet (#2) was clean, comfortable, everything worked and had a huge shower with enough water pressure that I’d love to have it back in the States! We worked through Reception to book a half day 4x4 guided tour into the Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, and the breakfast (for two) that was packed was large enough for two adults’ breakfast AND lunch. There are many options on where to stay in this area of KwaZulu-Natal, but if you are looking for a respite from your screens/monitors and want a laid back lodging experience off the beaten path encircled by nature, come to the Hluhluwe River Lodge. I can’t wait to come back and this time bring my family. Kudos to the entire staff (including Schona and Ayenda) for making this American’s first visit to ‘the real Africa’ unforgettable.

Parfaitement incroyable. Nous avons loué en famille la maison Mkhulu’s. C’est immense. Perdu au milieu de la nature avec une terrasse avec vue à couper le souffle. Pour les repas, tout est disponible pour cuisiner dans la maison mais nous avons préféré le restaurant du lodge en demi-pension où la chef propose une cuisine excellente, variée, équilibrée et succulente. Le service est soigné, souriant, chaleureux. Ils gerent pour vous les reservations pour les parcs, safaris, croisières à Sta Lucia… Le jardinier a même pris sur lui de laver notre voiture couverte de poussière ! Les Nyala et Impala se promenent en liberté dans la forêt environnante et le voisin heberge une faune variée visible de la route avec zebres et girafes. A essayer sans faute pour ceux qui cherche un hebergement depaysant mais confortable, à un prix abordable.

Bellissima camere arredate in modo particolare e con condizionatore con pompa di calore, utile nelle giornate invernali per togliere l'umidita'. Immerse nella foresta e circondate da antipoli e scimmiette. Anche la cena e la colazione sono ottime. A circa 20 km dell'entrata del parco. Da provare!
