On a very recent visit to the reserve, it was very sad to see this once beautiful reserve being so badly neglected, with overgrown grass that has not been cut in months throughout the reserve totally engulfing the picnic spots making it unsafe & uncomfortable to have a relaxing day visit, and all roads leading to these spots in an extremely poor state that will more than likely leave you with a massive vehicle repair bill just attempting to reach the picnic spots. Comon Kzn Wildlife please rescue this paradise from total decay b4 it...

Lovely place to go if you want to just get out and spend time outdoors, fishing. Roads do need some work in places. We stayed in a chalet which was fine but definitely lacking in maintenance. It rained quite a lot and the roof leaked in a few spots. Furniture etc needs to be updated.

Road markings not good. Camp sites picturesque and well kept but ablution need attention. More long grass needs cutting or burning to attract birds and animals
