Our hostess made us feel welcome long before we arrived with friendly, informative emails and even a telephone call to confirm our booking. She put us into the best and most private unit (unit 1) for our special weekend and really went the extra mile, with rose petals, candles and chilled champagne all waiting for us on arrival.

There is an on-site restaurant where you can order all your meals from but a small kitchenette is available for those who wish to do their own catering.

Although there is a lovely bath provided, due to the drought at the time, we used the outdoor shower which was completely private.

When we were not at the communal pool area or sitting by the lake, we spent most of our time outside around our private boma. Having the peacock and peahens brings their babies to visit us every day was the highlight of the trip!

Chantilly Resort is quiet and peaceful, a great place to restore your soul.
Traveller hints and tips:
* Make sure you inform the hostess of your intention to cook your own meals so that the necessary pots can be provided for you
* Unit 1 is definitely the most private as it is further from the communal pool area and restaurant
* The only thing we were slightly disappointed with was the lack of loungers that are advertised on the website.
Price:
More than R500 per person unless you get a good special
Recommended for:
Couples, although the resort is family friendly
