The best guest house in Secunda!

Review of Dormio Manor Guest Lodge, Secunda - Mpumalanga
I have travelled and stayed in many guest houses but none compares to Dormio Manor. It is in a quiet neighbourhood. The rooms are nicely decorated with clean linen. I have stayed in different rooms at this guest house but I loved the penthouse the best. It is safe, there's stringent security measures. That's very important in South Africa. The breakfast is great. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It's not far from the new Shopping Mall.
Room Tip: Ask for the Penthouse suite!

Review of Grey Goose Game Lodge

Unexpected oasis in Newcastle, KZN

Reviewed 17 November 2015
We were only in Newcastle for 2 days after a rough 3 days in Bulwer. We enjoyed our stay, farmstyle (it's a real farm with traces of sewage stink - keeping the bathroom door closed does the trick). Seeing the rabbits and the Zebras was the highlight of our stay. It was a quiet and relaxing environment. The only improvements I'd suggest would be to put bar fridges and free wifi in the rooms. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Stunning! A Review of Mountain View Country Inn

From the decor to the hospitality and the food, this place is truly special. There isn't much of a town to explore but this place makes it worth the visit. Beautifully furnished antique style. This place is cute in a quaint sort of way. I enjoyed staying here, the daily trek from here to Mlamli village and back was well worth it.

Tides knows fish!

A 2015 review of Tides seafood restaurant in Hazyview.

I always enjoy the seafood at Tides. It always buffles me though that they close so early whilst their sister restaurant stays open 'til late. The staff is always so friendly. Great food and great atmosphere overall.
This review is from 20 November 2015. Tides has since moved. The Fick family knows hospitality and food. You gotta give them that!

A review of Tatenda Guesthouse, Hazyview

How safe is it???

My first and hopefully very last time staying at Tatenda. The moisquitoes and dodgy cleaning techniques (no broom & no mop?) aside, how could you fail to provide complimentary tea/coffee for guests? The dull bed linen and towels, toilets that don't flush(no joke, there were 2 * 10 litres water bottles in the bathroom for flushing). The breakfast was so minimal and lightly scotched. We stayed 4 nights and had to endure the same boring egg and bacon everyday. There is no security guard, I was always so scared about our safety.

  • I truly hope that the security features have been upgraded!

National Zoological Gardens of South Africa - A Review of Pretoria Zoo


“Even better on a golf cart”
I have visited Pretoria zoo so many times since moving up to Pretoria. It is gorgeous and huge! If you want to enjoy this beauty and still have the energy to run around with the kids, book a gold cart. You might have to wait for like an hour for it but well worth it! What's even better is that you can have a lekker braai and picnic with your family or buy some fast food at the many outlets found within the zoo. Also the photoshopped photos are a perfect momento for all our zoo visits. Checkout other reviews of Pretoria zoo by clicking on the link below.
