From the moment we arrived our stay exceeded expectations. The check in process was very smooth, the grounds absolutely gorgeous, and the room accommodations beautiful and inviting. Both our evening dinner and morning buffet provided a wide variety of offerings that were tasty and well presented. The staff throughout were very accommodating and gracious. To top it off, the hot water bottles in our beds upon retiring for the evening were so delightful. The only downside was we only had 1 night at this resort. Top marks on every aspect of our stay!

“It was an amazing two-day stay! The service was exceptional—staff were warm, attentive, and always ready to help. The atmosphere was incredibly peaceful, making it the perfect place to relax, unwind, and recharge. The rooms were spotless and comfortable, and every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. I especially appreciated the quiet surroundings and the beautiful setting. I’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a serene and refreshing getaway.”

This retreat is absolutely beautiful. I cannot say enough about the entire team. From the Manager to the entire wait staff. The food is fabulous and Julia will make sure that everything is perfect for your dining. Julia's sister (whose name escapes me) goes above and beyond. I just cannot say enough wonderful things about everything and everyone. This was my second stay here

This was the nicest resort we stayed at while travelling in Tanzania. Beautiful grounds with a very attentive staff. The food was excellent. The gardener took extra time to walk with us throughout the grounds and explain the plants and trees they grow, and even explained their beekeeping process. Our only regret was not being able to stay longer.
