The food although plentiful was meh. Lodging was dark but loft was a neat addition. The staff were extremely polite and helpful. We went on safari 3 times including in one time in the morning which was incredible. This is a reserve that rescues animals at risk; perhaps that explains how few animals were present

Really enjoyed my stay. Well organised from arrival to departure. Room overlooked the safari and could see Elephant's from the balcony with a coffee. Pool was nice and refreshing. Food was quick and plentiful. Safari was better than expected and guides informative.

A great way to do a safari close to Cape Town. You get to see many animals in a short space of time. The stargazing at night was an added bonus.

We did an overnight trip with our 4 year old so she could experience her first « safari ». The room was great, spotless, the kids club is UNREAL- really recommend for families with kids. Our guide was fantastic. The food was average.

Loved our stay at Aquila! We stayed in the family room which was very spacious & had a patio area outside. All the food was lovely with a big selection from the buffet. We had African wood massages in the spa and used their facilities which were lovely. The grounds are big and spacious and you can sometimes see animals from your windows But of course the best bit were the safaris, we loved the drives seeing all the animals in the reserve my mum also swapped one of the drives for a horse riding safari which she enjoyed. Would definitely recommend staying here for atleast 2 nights

Bom

O lugar é lindo, atendeu as expectativas quanto ao Safári, sendo possível realizar dois passeios e ver os animais. O local da piscina é lindo, assim como a noite com as estrelas. Mas a piscina poderia ser aquecida, os quartos estão antigos e a comida não nos agradou pelo excesso de condimentos / pimentas.

First safari for my family and was brilliant

The hotel and spa was fantastic. Lacks a gym which would have made the downtime better but the overall experience was brilliant. The junior ranger session offered for children was fun and the kids loved it. Only thing id say was to add additional things such as a gym and extra acrivity options for kids (even chargable) such as quad bike safari etc. Really good experience!

Overall this property is great for families. That’s it. We were a couple in our 50’s and this did not measure up to our expectations for a 4 star resort. The best aspects were the spa with adult only small secluded pool and the spectacular views of the Karoo. Most of the staff including and especially the manager were unfriendly.

One of the best experiences of my life. The property is beautiful with amazing views. The booking includes the lunch, dinner, Breakfast and 2 game drives. Be sure to get to the property by noon and enjoy the views and Spa treatments (affordable and very relaxing) the sunset game drive was beautiful and we saw Giraffe, lions, elephants, hippos and zebras. The staff is helpful and do their best to make our experience very entertaining and exciting. Loved our stay!

It was a magical way to bond with nature. Quad and horse back riding through the reserve was beautiful and a special treat that will always be remembered...It was the perfect ending to our cruise in the indian ocean. Two thumbs up!!
