TRAVELLER FEEDBACK:
Reported to us by a trusted traveller to be a great venue with good food. (May-12).
Also reported that the ablutions are old but cleaned daily, and the bar and restaurant was enjoyable. (Jan-13).
Enjoy swimming in the lake! Take your own wood or charcoal along as the fire wood found in the area is not good for braai.
