Reviews for Hamilton Parks Country Lodge

Review 1：wonderful for relaxing in an awsome park deep in a bush valley; thank God no TV and internet!; close to the stunning highlands (Lydenburg etc) and the Kruger; personable staff and management

Review 2：1. Standmounted fan was a bit past its best! 2. A small annoyance is that the lights from car park area shine too much into the bathroom/adjacent sleeping area.

Review 3：1. I actually liked the longish bumpy scenic track from the tarred road to the venue - reminds you to get into a holiday mindset. 2. Owner/Staff were friendly and accessible - but not in your face. A good balance. 3. I often find that beds are too short - but these were just OK. 4. A very tasty breakfast. 5. A lovely view - once the clouds cleared! We were lucky enough to have some nice rain whilst there.

Review 4：The place needs a major facelift. The buildings are old, the bathrooms look dirty and old. The bedrooms look like an old storage with a bed and a mirror. Our rooms where never cleaned the entire time we were there (though we were out of the room all day). The setup was just weird and the staff does not make it any easier. You go to the bush cause you want some alone time and not have people asking you what did you do and what you are planning to do for the day, were you from! Endless questions that have nothing to do with life.

Review 5：I liked the bush experience

Review 6：It rained on the day of our visit, the area in front of our room was full of water making it difficult to walk in and out. My wife doesn't like dogs, there was a small dog which followed us as we walked around the garden and she was irritated.

Review 7：Very friendly staff members who showed a lot of care to visitors

Review 8：Am a realistic and positive traveler ,for the price I pay I can'tasked for a better stay away from home...remember this is South Africa...Never compare the Western hotels to this amazing lodge where you aretreated like family. ..

Review 9：Very secluded to find serenity. ...No wifi so u can connect withnatures and people. ...Excellent staff and owners who are hands ontaking care of guest...great gourmet meals by the chef and friendly barstaff Billy. ..

Review 10：I did not like the view from our room. They are in a beautiful country setting and the view is obscured by small trees and shrubbery that should be removed. But otherwise it was amazing.

Review 11：We stayed at the lodge for two nights. We had a lovely room. The staff is great and very friendly. The food is amazing.

Review 22：The pool was green, so I didn't feel like swimming in it.

Review 23：In the middle of nature:the silence, just birds, monkeys, and other animals. like in heaven. And the food was delicious. Even the glutenfree food.

Review 26：Very friendly and competent owners, very helpful, they organised a terrific fully-day safari drive through the KNP, very well kept and maintained property and excellent rooms, excellent Food and great value for the Money. You Need to be Aware of the fact that the lodge is a bit away from civilisation - which I thought was excellent

Review 27：The road down to the lodge was like leaving the real live. The silence was overwhelming nice. The staff was helpfull, the breakfast and the fresh bread was like something out of heaven. The Bain's was good and the barman's story's entertaining. Thanks Rooie

Review 32：Our second stay. Ideally located if on the way to the Kruger National Park. Nice rooms, perfect and super friendly hosts, excellent food. Atmosphere very cosy and we like the bar where the hosts talk to the guests after dinner and have plenty of suggestions and recommendations ready for tourists. Keep up the good work, we'll be back!

Review 33：Food, home made food. The quietness, the tranquil of the place. Me and my husband we felt like its our (lost count) honeymoon. As pensioners we will definitely go again for a peace of mind.

Review 40：Dinner in the 'restaurant' was simply by very delicious! Nothing fancy but nice home cooked meal. Hotel helpfully arranged a trip to the Elephant Sanctuary for us while we were driving around the Kruger with little to no reception.

Review 41：Kurt and staff were wonderful. I was traveling alone and they made my stay something that I will always remember. Kurt arranged for a guide to take me to the places that I wanted to see. Everyone went out of their way to be helpful. Food was great.

Review 42：The lock on the room was inoperable and we were told the locks are a constant pain for the staff as they won't stay fixed. Perhaps new locks?

Review 45：N/A.

Review 46：We had a fantastic stay at Hamilton Lodge! The Lodge is set on a beautiful bit of land with a long private driveway off the main road (2km). This means that it is conveniently close and easy to access the main road and the nearby Kruger Park while being secluded enough to enjoy a special stay. The Lodge has a great colonial look and feel in terms of furnishings and buildings and gardens with no pretentiousness or stuffiness. Great work from Kurt makes the cocktails and meals a very sociable and enjoy able experience!
