Better than expected!
We had a great stay here over Easter with extended family (10 of us), and the lodge was if anything better than expected. Heysbrook is well set up to absorb groups of various sizes, as the rooms are separate to the 2 "lodges" you can book for your group, which have large exclusive spaces to hang out, cook, play games, swim etc. We stayed at Heys Lodge, which was the bigger space, and came with exclusive use of the "Summerhouse" how by the river, with river pool, bar, kitchen, toilet and braai areas. We barely saw the group of guests from the Bokani Forest Lodge, who had their own infinity pool and entertainment areas separate to ours. We didn't have to pick up after ourselves at all with the staff looking after us very well (there was even an option for them to cook for you, which we didn't use). Lots of walks on the property (be warned - lots of hills!) including a walk into the old gold mine up the hill, some indigenous Bokani ruins, and a lovely picnic site up top to walk or drive to (also with braai and toilet facilities).
Very well conceptualised on a lovely property.
