I don’t know where to start with this review as everything was perfect from start to finish. This place has now ruined all future accommodation stays because the bar has been set so high — not a bad problem to have! From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted with warm smiles, friendly waves and refreshing towels to freshen up after your journey. The rooms are phenomenal. We booked both a Deluxe Suite and a Superior Deluxe Suite, and the Superior is well worth the extra money. All of the rooms are stunning, but the Superior felt extra special, so I would definitely recommend this room type if you can. The mini bar is fully stocked, the rooms are spotless, and the turndown service is incredible — they even run you a bath. What really stood out the most was the service. Nothing was ever too much trouble. The small team quickly learn your name and are incredibly accommodating. It’s the little touches that make everything feel so personal. Honestly, it’s hard to find a single fault. The spa treatments were also fantastic. We all enjoyed massages and, as people who visit spas quite often, these stood out as some of the best we’ve had. And finally, the best part — Sean, our ranger and guide during our stay. His knowledge was next level; so informative and genuinely fascinating to listen to. But what really made Sean special was his personality. He always had the best energy, even at 4am! Nothing was ever too much trouble — he even filled our water bottles in the truck before each game drive. He is honestly such an asset to Lush and we were so grateful to have him as our guide. We were lucky enough to see so many incredible animals, which truly made the trip unforgettable. If you’re planning a visit to Lush and get Sean as your guide, you are in for a treat.

Had a great few days at this boutique venue sat in the Balck Rhino Reserve. Only 8 amazing rooms set on the edge of the bush supported by fantastic staff- everyone you meet. Very experienced guide for the drives and juts so much to see in this huge area. Great spa treatments in your down time. Food was good and probably the only area that didnt meet the exceptional stadards elsewhere. Still highly recommended.

“Wonderful getaway weekend”

Fabulous weekend break a couple of hours from Jhb. The lodge is extremely luxurious, with the most wonderful staff. Spa is fantastic, and the Pilansberg offered us the big five and a cheetah, all in a day. Great getaway.

“We loved it so much that we cried as we left!”

Just wow! We will never forget the amazing experience we had at Lush Lodge, from the get go we were welcomed like family, all the way up to the moment we pulled away from the lodge.

Just wow! We will never forget the amazing experience we had at Lush Lodge, from the get go we were welcomed like family, all the way up to the moment we pulled away from the lodge. Being waved back in from our daily game drives was such a lovely touch, our driver Sean was excellent - he found us the big 5 (on our first drive we saw elephants after 2 mins of leaving the lodge!) and the leopard we had the most unreal 1-1 experience with before the other trucks arrived. The trucks were spacious and very comfortable, the ponchos were well received on the morning drives when it was colder. The food was out of this world and didn't feel like too much/overdone either, a light salad for lunch was all we needed! Dinners being set up in different locations each night was really special. Our rooms were incredible, being cleaned each time we were out on drives/at lunch/dinner and the candles/soap smelled amazing! The beds were absolutely huge, the hardest part was getting out of it for the morning drive, but it was well worth the early start! We will always remember this as the best hotel we've ever stayed at, and are encouraging all our family to book. Staying 3 nights was spot on for us, the perfect amount of time to see everything and enjoy the most out of the hotel. We seriously could not fault anything: staff, service, food, drinks, drives, amenities, entertainment (wine tasting), atmosphere, weather, rooms.. the list goes on. You will not regret booking here!
