The Giraffe Cottage is frequently mentioned, with some guests describing magical experiences such as private jeep safaris, chef-prepared meals, and observing giraffes from the Giraffe Lodge; however, some guests have noted that certain rooms could benefit from updates.

Romantic Anniversary Retreat

hotel style room comfort private buggy warm atmosphere
The hotel displayed style and comfort. The room featured extra touches like a dressing gown and slippers. Our stay included a private buggy for exploring the park. It was nice and warm during a frosty January.
I noticed some areas could use a bit more signage. We missed discovering many things during our three-day stay.
Facilities
9/10
The facilities are amazing with gardens, buildings, and walks to explore. The inclusive safari and ranger safari are excellent for all ages. There are benches available for resting during the day, especially when the weather is warm.
