Positive: We like to experience beautiful places that have the special character and personality of true locals. This is the perfect place for adventurous types who love to find magic in the artistic expression and clever craftmanship of a place with owners who express their hospitality through these small details and how they care about their guests. I would especially recommend this for mountaineers, campers, outdoor enthusiasts, groups of friends with children who love to go to bed early and wake up with the sun and try something out of the ordinary - hop on a kayak, swim in the lake, find some seahorses, get your toes and your legs wet dangling your feet off a river boat, have a go at sea fishing, hike to see turtles, braai on the beach. The characterful rooms are set up like a very comfortable safari campsite - with comfy beds and lovely bathrooms. Spaces have variable groupings, depending on guests - some with an outdoor or indoor kitchen to suit the weather and socialise under the stars. The windows have very practical built-in Mozzie net frames, so they can stay open at night and the beds have mosquito nets for any escapees! Una and Bertus and their staff are the most wonderful hosts and their sweet dogs who also regularly checked that we were OK were an added bonus for the children. We were treated like family and this was a grounding, earthy, soulful holiday that will be in our hearts and memories forever.
Summary: A little piece of heaven on the lake

Positive: We had the most amazing stay at Shongili. Una and Bertus are both exceptional hosts (together with their lovely dogs 😄). They went out of their way to make us feel at home. The location is unbelievable. We will never forget the beautiful private beach. We loved the excursion by boat to see the turtles and braai on the beach with Bertus.
