I've stayed there three times now. Each time with a different feeling according to the room I get. The first time there were 4 of us so we got a big chalet with 2 double rooms, a lounge area, a huge terrace on the lake, a kitchenette and 2 small bathrooms. We were thrilled. For the next two stays, there... More

My 13yo son and I stayed at Imvubu for about two weeks in late June/early July. I needed a "home base" while conducting research supporting my doctorate. The grounds are beautiful, lots of Vervet monkeys, beautiful private beach access. The pool was pretty but because we were there in winter, we didn't swim. The Sundowner was nice with a beautiful...

A pleasant stay at the lodge for a wedding was marred by repeated unpleasant dealings with the bookings staff. Not only had the staff double-booked my friend's wedding and ultimately booked the incorrect honeymoon suite, they failed to make our booking despite email confirmation and receiving our deposit. When the time came to pay the balance of the account the... More

I checked on the homepage about the rooms and location, and it looked very nice. When we got there I was a bit dissapointed. The rooms look nicer on the homepage, and what they show is only the superior ones, not the standard we stayed in. The beach is very close and wonderful, the "pool" is awful though. It's very...

Great lodges with all the facilities you need. We stayed in no.15 overlooking the lake which was spot on. The monkeys are great fun and will take food from your hand. Great fshing from the pier and helpful locals. Go to "the Lions Den" if you want to meet some locals and check out the Cambridge United shirt!

We stayed in an Ocean view Suite. A short walk thru well cared for grounds, passing a few monkeys, we came to our chalet. When you open the door, the view was breathtaking! There were full length windows with sliding doors opening to a private deck with a Jacuzzi hot tub. There were trees and lush natural plants all around... More

I stayed in Imvubu Lodge for 1 night before connecting with a flight to Johannesburg. I thought that it would be a different option rather than a hotel. I booked a deluxe chalet which holds 6 people. There is one double bedroom with an en-suite, another twin bedded room also with an en-suite and a lounge area with a sofa... More
