What Our Guests Say
Thank you for helping making my visit last year so relaxing and comfortable. You really made me feel welcome and, given the length of my stay, part of the family, and all those special little touches were noticed and appreciated. Thank you again.
Don Stoneretired Engineer from Somerset, England
As a senior executive for an established company with branches all round the country, I travel a lot and often have early morning meetings. I can’t tell you what a pleasure it is to find somewhere that really understands the needs of executives. You really are a ‘home from home’ and a place one leaves refreshed and relaxed.
Grant GillespieSales & Marketing Manager
Security and comfort are my two main priorities when away from home. It’s as important for me to feel safe as it is comfortable to relax properly and you satisfy both needs.
Heather MorkelCEO Vuma Horse Feeds, Summerhill
Thank you for such wonderful hospitality and great food. I am often disappointed by the food offered at lodges, it can seem like such an afterthought, but your breakfast was really something and set me up for the whole day.
