Gwahumbe Game & Spa

Absolutely blown away by the incredible Gwahumbe Game & Spa. I was more than happy to stay there forever. I fell in love with the incredible architecture and gorgeous decor throughout the lodge - the architect and interior design team have truly created a masterpiece. I stayed at the spacious and beautiful River Bend and enjoyed a spectacular views from the wrap around veranda and every gorgeously decorated room. I did not have time this trip to take advantage of River Bend’s private plunge pool and hot tub and boma. No need to leave your personal slice of heaven within River Bend (other than to go on a game drive or go to the spa or if you choose rather to eat at the lodge) The chef and his team served delicious food at dinner and breakfast at the main lodge. The friendly barista, Mondli, made sure I had piping hot (and yummy) cappuccinos whilst I watched the giraffes and zebras enjoying their early morning grazing in the lodge gardens. The personal service from every staff member was really appreciated. The last time I was at the lodge was before the wild fire and I was absolutely blown away by the incredible transformation. Congratulations to the team. If you have not been to Gwahumbe, you are missing a magical place within a breathtaking game reserve that is so close to Durban & Pietermaritzburg and an easy drive off the N3.

We really enjoyed our stay at Gwahumbe ,Everything is perfect the Staff keep up the good work 👏 🙌 👍

I booked a surprise trip to Gwahumbe this month for my husband's birthday. The place was beautiful, tranquil and very unique. The food was awesome and the service was excellent. The only problem that we had is that when we arrived there was no electricity which wasn't such a big issue because eventually in the late afternoon around 4/5pm the power was restored. But the geyser however did not switch back on, so when it was time to have a shower and go to supper, we were unable to do so. I then sent them a message and they advised the water should be hot around 7pm which never happened. When I returned from supper around 9:30pm, the water was still cold. I then sent another message stating the water is still cold but there is no staff on duty in the evening, so the geyser situation was only attended to by the owner the next day at 5:30am when she realized the geyser was actually off. I then waited another 3 hours until about 8:30am and there was still no hot water. The owner did apologise for the situation and she she waived the our drinks bill of R 460.
