We chose Bushwillow by reading all these positive reviews on Tripadvisor...wish we didn't .. The first impression was very, very isolated place. Ok, no problem. The room looked fine...until the night came. That was when we discovered that we weren't alone in that room.Between the roof and room's ceiling (made with bamboo) there is enough space to host numerous cockroaches... more

Bushwillow was a great place to stay for a family with 3 young children. Nice upmarket accomodation at a reasonable price. Very clean, and great if you like self-catering (although they also have a fully catered option). Children love being in a game park with "safe" animals where they can walk around.

If you want to get away from it all in total comfort- this is the place. Waking up to find giraff, zebra, antelope and warthog grazing in front of your deck was magical. Despite being in the middle... more

My wife and I stayed here for five nights on honeymoon and it was simply amazing! The lodge is beautiful and comfortable and the service is brilliant - we were the only two people staying at the lodge, which meant we had absolute privacy. Not only is the lodge beautifully situated, but the price is reasonable, the hospitality is warm... more
