The owners of the B&B are very helpful and bent over backwards to meet my needs. I found the rooms plain and uninteresting and the showers below average. I found the place a little claustrophobic and I have stayed in many B&Bs and think it relates to the shared area been dark and not welcoming. But it is clean and... More

I am sorry that your stay with us was less than satisfactory. In order to help us improve on the areas you identified are you able to tell us which room you stayed in, or which part of the guesthouse, main house, poolside or garden rooms. You also mentioned about feeling a little claustrophobic and a dark shared area. Where... More

I am by nature not a B&B person, my sister is. She has been dragging me around South Africa for the past few years from one B&B to another. I havent always commented on them as the service and offering is usually of the forgetfull sort and hearing the nocturnal noises of other guests in nighbouring rooms is not always... More

We very much enjoyed our stay at Sunbird Lodge, where we spent three nights in Sunbird room. First impressions are of a gated suburban community, heavy furniture and smallish rooms, but don't be put off - the welcome is genuine: Dave in particular proved a very avuncular host, proactive in helping with advice and issues. I was particularly impressed with... More

We had no issues with our one night stay at the Sunbird Lodge. The owners are incredibly friendly individuals. We found the room to be fine and fairly clean with a good air conditioner, fridge, and TV. The breakfast provided was absolutely fine with juice, fruit, cereals, and your choice of toast, bacon, and eggs prepare for you. We would... More

We stayed here only one night, before embarking on our Kruger Park journey, and after driving by Blyde River Canyon. This lodge is a wonderful little gem run by a very friendly couple. It is located in a nice, quiet residential area, and has very spacious and beautiful grounds. The rooms are fairly simple, but clean and decent, with nice... More
