Road to the Hotel not car friendly 4x4s only
Stay was fine- happy with the place-however- the road to the hotel is terrible for cars. Breakfast wasn't included and way too expensive considering how long it takes to get to town to buy supplies.

10/10 Exceptional

Great location, an amazing experience to get there
There's nothing around and that's good. You need to drive down back roads for twenty minutes or so before you go through a series of security gates which help keep the animals in/out. If you come through late in the evening after the sun goes down you can see an amazing dark sky. The staff is very friendly, room was comfortable but be careful ordering the dinner...it ended up costing us more than our room :)

8/10 Very good

The Blyde Wilderness Lodge is a lovely little place hidden away on the edge of a river. It takes 15 mins off the main road over gravel tracks to get to the site. Once in the site, we saw zebras and giraffes coming in but didn't see any animals in the river (hippos or crocodiles). We had some accommodation that had recently been added and, although the website says all accommodation faces the river, ours had a view of the wildlife reserve. However, the rooms were nicely furnished and clean and we had a little kitchenette with a sink and fridge. The food, both breakfast and dinner, was good value and nicely-presented. The only disturbance we had was the last afternoon when we were sitting having a drink outside of our accommodation and watching the impalas. Some guests arrived that day who seemed to be the owners or friends of the owners (they were later showing off a drone in the bar and told us they had been filming the place). They brought 2 big dogs with them and let them roam around the nature reserve off their leads. I'm terrified of dogs, so this was quite unsettling, but some of the animals were clearly disturbed by this as well. To top it off, one of the dogs defecated in front of us and outside our accommodation, but the owners didn't even bother to clean it up! This rather marred our view of the place after such a good experience.
