“Great hospitality, beautiful rooms and even better food. The personnel have mastered the art of being there and available, but not being intrusive. The lions are also a must see. We recommend Phakela to anyone wanting a relaxing and quiet breakaway. The chalets are very private, I would recommend no 6 if you’re looking for absolute privacy in a romantic setting.”
“We were incredibly lucky to spend new year 2017/8 at Phakela. Hilton and his staff were unbelievably accommodating in all of our requests and went way above and beyond to make it a special time for our family. The facilities are fantastic, food was excellent and the rooms luxurious. Thank you for a trusty memorable trip.”
