10,0 Excellent

Pros: Staff and facilities perfect and brilliant. I recommend to any person wanting to travel and go to the bush for a romantic getaway , it is the most amazing place to go to with all the big Five game.

8,3 Excellent

Pros: The staff were extremely welcoming, friendly and obliging. Common areas were beautiful, comfortable and relaxing with great views and great sightings at the waterhole. 'Happy', the game ranger absolutely enthusiastic, friendly & knowledgeable tracking down that lion outside the lodge on the last night was such a highlight. Such an awesome experience.

Cons: Casart is a beautiful lodge, however Pumba (our lodge) could do with an upgrade of linen. Also, whilst meals are prepared with great care and are tasty, they're quite expensive for options offered. However it should be noted that staff were quite obliging to offer alternates when time permitted.

10,0 Excellent

Cons: Would of loved to of had WiFi available in room.

9,6 Excellent

Pros: The whole atmosphere is very friendly, relaxing and specially attentive. The location at a small hill is spectacular. The food is very tasty. The staff is extremely nice and the owner Sonja is a very charming and attentive person. The safari tours with Happy are very professional, so we could see a lot of animals including lions and elephants. In general a fair price for what they offer.

Cons: Nothing

10,0 Excellent

Pros: The staff were very attentive and service was very personalised. The dinner that we had added on was great. We had springbok carpaccio and it totally exceeded my expectations. My husband enjoyed the chicken chutney very much as well. The view from the deck looks out to a watering hole and if you were lucky, you could see animals coming to drink water. We also booked a private game drive with the lodge and our guide, Happy, was fantastic. He is extremely knowledgeable about the bush, very friendly and personable, has a great eye for wildlife and immense passion for whatever he's doing as well. Even though the game drive was a little pricey, it was worth every cent. Our stay there was very enjoyable and great thanks to the other staff Moses, Yann, and Stanford too!

Cons: Nothing to do with the lodge but a tip to would-be visiting drivers - rent a SUV and/or a 4WD as the road in is rather rocky and unpleasant to drive on in a regular sedan.

10,0 Excellent

Pros: Super friendly staf! Ranger Happy knew a lot about the nature, animals and birds. And we were suprised with a free upgrade to the rondavel with jacuzzi. We would definitely come again. Thanks Sonia, Mozes, Stageman, Stanford, Happy and all other staf members.

Pros: The staff was fantastic and so was our guide for the game drives. The sourandings and the rooms were amazing. An incredible experience for a very good price!

9,0 Excellent

Pros: How spacious the chalet was. The Wi-Fi was good

Cons: Housekeeping was bad; the restaurant and the food were really bad.

7,1 Good

Pros: Positive: Relaxing pool area, Spa treatments were excellent and we can strongly recommend the river safari.

Cons: Negative: This place could easily be a 9/10 but on their own responsibility Sefapane makes this an 6-7/10 at best. In particular: 1) WiFi is horrible and frustrates you to no end - signal quality is very bad and by far not enough access points for the size and amount of devices. Do not visit Sefapane if using WiFi is of any importance to you. 2) Shower. Our Hut (Heron) had two settings: Scalding hot and enough water OR nice temperature but only a few drops. 3) Speed of Service. All staff was very friendly, but we repeatedly were unhappy with the speed. Each morning we ordered a (paid!) cappuccino to the breakfast when sitting down. It usually came when we were done eating and ready to leave :( There are a few other points, but those 3 above are the ones which impacted us the most.

10,0 Excellent

Pros: Well kept 3 bedroom house we stayed in. 100 % well maintained. No issues. Higly recommended.

Cons: Excellent accomodation. Highly recommended !!!!Booked 3 bedroom house / living area, very clean and well maintained, thank you. I was dissapoined with the main swimming pool bar area, lack of maintenance, dirty old material cloth on outside chair cushions...lack of general chair maintenance. Same goes for your main entrance / parking area...very untity...first imression on arrival was ....now we made a big mistake !!! Nothing one would expect from an advertised Lodge and Safari establishment. Our impression did however changed 180 degrees when we were told to drive outside the property and use a seperate private entrance to our booked 3 bedroom house...wow !!! What a difference...beatiful well maintained house with beatiful surrounding gardens and private area, with private pool, nothing to compare with your reception surrounding area / first impressions...
