The staff were so so so lovely. For the price and what you get we felt it was incredible value, lovely scenery to look out on, a pool, nice shaded areas to escape the heat, incredible sunsets. There is an honesty bar with pool and other games. We have no kids but there was a really great sized kids play area and trampoline. I also cannot emphasise enough how great the staff were, from check in to meals! We did a one day aquila Safari and the location was great as it is a 20-30 minute drive (depending on car as with the dirt track from tousriver we went a little more slowly just in case) and meant we could relax after. We chatted to a few people who had done a day trip to aquila and had a 2.5 hour trip back to cape town. For the price, location etc. definitely worth staying a couple of nights. If you would like a few more nights of tranquility a great location and you can explore more too.

There were a few ants but nothing that disturbed our stay and for the price and the great staff and considering the location not a surprise or anything that made us feel bad about the trip!

The relaxed atmosphere, in a lovely setting with great views. Happy was very helpful & was always available when we had a question. We didn't have any meals, but the facilities in the communal kitchen were satisfactory & plenty of braai (BBQ) facilities. We used the pool which was a good size & clean. The 'honesty' box arrangement in the bar was a breath of fresh air - help yourself to drinks and just let them know what you had when you checked out. Great location for a stopover if you are going to Aquilla Game Reserve. We would recommend staying in this real SA accommodation.

The animals around the game reserve, the guide Brian, the breakfast and the help yourself bar and the room. The staff also helped us to repair. our broken down vechile by calling in a local mechanic and towing the car for us instantly.

The Owner was rude to my partner and did'nt apologize personally, she tried to make up for it by offering free sparkling wine. The waitress and cook Happiness was busy singing loudly and disturbing the peace of the place and she was also busy sitting on her phone right in the centre of the lounge area for guests watching insta or tik tok videos with her legs up like she was the boss and she was rude too at times depending on her mood. Also didnt like the dead stuffed animals on display all around especially when your an animal lover.

We absolutely loved this hidden gem. We have always driven past Touwsriver on long road trips and never popped in, howeverwhen coming accross Njalo-Njalo by accident on booking.com we decided to give it a try and we loved it. The staff are friend, the accommodation was spotless and you can braai there also but you will need to make prior arrangement for this option. Should you have children they have plenty of place for the little ones to blow off steam. I definately will be going back.

Got to the gate a little earlier than normal check in, and we stood outside for 15 mins and called but nobody answered the gate. Eventually someone opened. This will not deter me from going again we had a great time.

It was a comfortable stay and we felt that the staff was always approachable and extremely helpful. The swimming pool was a delight in the hot weather. The room was well serviced and clean right through our stay. Being Christmas time,they even decorated the eating hall for that extra special personal Christmas feeling,and it felt like home. Loved the handmade cards on the tables.

The water pressure in the shower was very poor, but could be corrected with a pressure valve or different shower head. It wasn't the end of the world because all the other positives was so much greater than this minor problem. The menu could be more traditional South African dishes,that being said Happiness our hostess had to be everywhere from front desk to cook. Training in the kitchen is a possibility or just a trained chef.

The location was perfect to enable us to get to Aquila for our early morning safari. We liked that it was a family friendly resort with lots of space for the grandkids to play and the big swimming pool was a bonus in the summer heat. We did not have breakfast, but we used the well equipped communal kitchen to prepare our salads etc and we had a braai in the boma every night where we could sit as a family and enjoy our supper. There was a mix up with our booking and we were short of one room, but the owner Daniella made available to us the Springbokkie House which comfortably accommodated us.

Unfortunately there seemed to be a problem with the water supply and on a few occasions there was no water at all. And in the Springbokkie House we had cold showers.

The facilities were relaxed and great. Focussed on the trust and respect of guests. The receptionist was very friendly, and everything expected was in place. We are a family of 5, and everything was well installed before we arrived including the 2 join room were properly set. Breakfasts were quite decent with some variety of fruit. Sunsets were majestic in this very dry desertic location. Not too many bugs and AC were working perfectly.

The road leading to the accommodation is a 5km unpaved road. Unfortunately, we had a flat tire on the road after leaving the accommodation due to the road condition, just to be aware of (nothing the hotel can do about obviously). As this is a family size accommodation, eating outside of meal hours needs to be planned. The host were super flexible, and accommodating regarding this.

the staff were amazing 'Happiness' was a highlight for us, we felt like the Lodge was an extension of our home and we were staying with family. The welcoming was great, dinners were amazing and breakfast was the best start to the day. While there we went on a safari trip at Aquila Lodge and our whole family was delighted that we were staying where we were at Njalo. Our daughter forgot her bag in the room and the owner was kind enough to drop it off in Cape Town at the hotel we were staying at amazing service!!!!!! 15/10

We did not like leaving the place at all. We wanted to stay longer.

My mother and I had a great experience for 2 nights in a comfortable cottage. The property is located less than 10 minutes by car from Touws River, they have a bar with some game activities, a beautiful pool, places to prepare your own barbecue and a very good restaurant. I need to mention that the staff is very gentle, kind and respectful, making our trip so much better. The food was DELICIOUS!!!! I highly recommend here

Everything was perfect!

This was a lovely spot for a local quiet getaway. The area is peaceful and beautiful. It was very comfortable and allowed for a special place for friends to connect and have fun. It has a lovely big pool, and many places to braai.

There were not many activities to do on the property.
