Upon your arrival at the Reserve entrance you will have to sign an indemnity and the location of the lodge will be pointed to you.
There is no need to arrange for a key pick-up, as upon your arrival at the lodge the Game Ranger will greet you and open the lodge for you. Please note that a second indemnity needs to be signed with the Game Ranger for each individual staying at the lodge.
For security reasons and as requested as a result of the on-going rhino poaching, the Trustees have taken the decision that effective from 10 October 2011, an arrivals list will be compiled by the HOA, and all visitors entering the reserve will have to check in at gatehouse reception. At check-in, guests will be required to sign an indemnity form, and will be handed a copy of the Reserve Rules and a map of the reserve.
Access to the property will only be given to persons whose names and details appear on the arrivals list.

• As the property is situated in a nature reserve, only discreet music is allowed until 10pm. No music of any nature will be allowed thereafter. The same applies to voices.

• An R1000.00 fee applies on late check-outs
• When making a fire at the outside boma or in the internal fireplaces it is expected that the visitor take into consideration that the roof structure is thatched and can easily catch fire. Therefore the fire made may not exceed 1m in height and the fire must be put out before leaving the lodge or when going to bed. Special care should be taken when it is a windy evening
• Because this lodge is situated in a reserve where the Big 5 roam freely, special care should be taken. The lodge is fenced off with electrical fencing

Peace of Mind
Besides the jacuzzi not working it was a perfect weekend.
JUST THE CLEANLINESS. THE KITCHEN INSIDE THE CUPBOARDS AND SOME OF THE KITCHEN UTENSILS THE FRIDGE WAS LEAKING ALL WEEKEND WE DID MENTION IT TO THE RANGERS OTHER THAN THAT THE BEDS NOT TO COMFY BEEN TO CHEAPER PLACES WITH MORE COMFY BEDS.
DOMINIQUE IS AMAZING VERY HELPFUL AND QUICK RESPONSE TIME
Loved the flexibility of our, very knowledge, game ranger, it was nice for us to decide when we wanted to leave mornings and afternoons without having to rush to be somewhere for breakfast or dinner like you do in other luxury lodges. The house was well equipped, the layout was great having the rooms separate from the main house. Overall our experience was thoroughly enjoyed by all from start to finish. We had zero complaints. Will definitely be back.
Thanks Dillon for another amazing long weekend away! Will most definitely be in touch for future travel arrangements.
Was fantastic and well enjoyed -The lodge is very well equipped – I do think the lodge will need a bit of maintenance in certain areas – this did not detract from a very good experience
service good , website good and easy to communicate – thank you
We have no complaints! Thoroughly enjoyed the lodge and the amazing service received from our exceptionally knowledgeable game ranger, Howard, as well as great hospitality from the lady running the house – Eunice!! Will be back soon!
Wendy has been exceptionally helpful and professional!
Paying such an extreme amount per night one would expect not to be exposed to service providers who expect extra payment….donations…..Christmas gift….???Very confusing….3 cleaners over 7 days working two at a time per day……only to come in , in the mornings….wash dishes , make beds and then of to a storage room for a nap. On confronting them with their poor service we were told they not aloud to use the vacuum cleaner because they will scare the wild animals!
Excellent service. Extremely helpful. Thank you Karen.
What a fantastic place to relax. The Rangers were great and made the stay even better. Will definitely be back.
Great service. Thanks for the black rhino suggestion.
The lodge was very nice. It is just a pity that the main area does not look over the fence out into the bush.
It would be nice to have more photographs of the property one is looking to rent right up front.
Game ranger , cleaning staff and the location was great. The general maintenance of the property is not up to standard. There are huge cracks , huge in the bedrooms. The drains in the bathroom and showers smell. Some stairs are broken . The TV shows error message all the time that nobody can fix.
Good advice, quick responses.
Everything was amazing from the staff who helped us to the game ranger to the animals we were lucky to see. Would definitely go back and recommend this venue.
Thanks Dillon for your service. Everything went so smoothly.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Black Rhino. The hosts, Stephan and Rosemary were very hospitable and we had a lovely weekend away.
The My Holiday Home service was great and very helpful in sorting out the details of the accommodation.
Very well looked after in a very comfortable and well appointed home.
we lacked for nothing at all – super stay with family we would come back again. Lovely to have own game drive vehicle and ranger, Richard was very professional and his wife Andrea very hospitable a very good experience all around. Thank you very much.
thanks very much Karen for your excellent recommendation and service.
