Isinkwe Bush Camp — Hotel in The Big Five False Bay Local Municipality

The staff were friendly, the pool water was nice and warm. The bucks and monkeys on the premises were an awesome experience. The beds were super comfortable to sleep on and the bedding was nice and clean. BUT The gate intercom doesnt work and without cellular reception it was a problem to call the reception numbers. There was NO hot water for the whole of our stay. There is a bar area but it is not operational. NO ice is sold on the property. The rooms are EXTREMELY hot and the small fan provided does not help… aircons are sorely needed. The shower heads are so old and dirty that there are 5 holes that the water come through and the streams each go in separate directions which makes it near impossible to shower. Our toilet was constantly leaking… and instead of fixing the problem the staff kept cutting off water to our unit without communicating to us. Eventually I came up with the suggestion that I would close the water tap to the unit when i am not using water. Staff kept asking for cigarettes… made for a very uncomfortable experience as We had to travel outside of the lodge everytime we needed anything from a shop. Wifi is available… but only if you walk all the way to the reception area and literally sit there. Overall this place needs some looking after and some TLC… a bit of an upgrade maybe? I know bush living shouldnt be all too glamorous but it would be nice if the essentials like a working shower and hot water...

Only issue we had was the bees coming out the walls in the main bedroom , however the staff was very helpful in sorting the issue out for us. The aircon wasn't working and the cabin can get extremely hot but we were provided with fans.

The owners of the place really need to spend some time giving it a little tlc , especially the bar / pool area looks very abandoned like there was once life there., the gate was also an issue especially when we wanted to leave in the early hours of the morning , some involvement from the owners would be great .

All in all my family had a great time and the animals on the premises were an...

It's a wonderful and lovely spot to spend the weekend.

I had to get out of my car in order to open and close the gate because the gate mechanism was broken. This was an inconvenience for me.

It can be difficult to notice the main gate at night because there are no lights outside.

Please provide kid-friendly features to make the place kid-friendly.

The swimming pool is really pleasant and heated.

Otherwise we...
