“Worst reception we have ever had”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2012 NEW

They did not ask for our registration, nor did we receive a ticket to display (they must be losing a fortune on people just setting up and leaving without registering) When I asked for information trips from the person at the...

It's worth staying here if only to take a trip on Yellow Water, one of the highlights of any trip to the National Park. The rooms are in small blocks of four, and mine was somewhat dark and dingy, in need of updating. It took a while to get the TV to work - why don't places provide instructions clearly... More

We recently spent 4 nights at Gagadju, staying in one of the lodge rooms. Arrival and check in went smoothly and we were greeted by friendly and welcoming staff. Checked into our room, which was basic but fine. We didn't expect four star. The room was clean and has pretty much everything we needed, fridge, tea and coffee facilities, clean... More

Yellow Water Cruises morning and evening a fantastic experience. Accommodation is comfortable, but room was not ready upon arrival, no regular room service. Stay in refurbished room if possible. Food in the bistro ordinary especially when staying more than 2 nights. The swimmingpool however was really lovely.
