very nice buggyfine groundsprivate viewing

we wanted a buggy to go around the park. the buggy experience was very nice. we accessed the park after dark and saw animals not about in the day. the hotel and grounds are fine.

i think more signs are needed to find areas. i stayed 3 days and missed a lot.

animal proximityhistorical buildinglovely views

The location offers a great experience with animals right on the doorstep. The views from the back are lovely. The building itself has a lot of history.

I noticed the absence of bags when purchasing toys from the gift shop, and the staff seemed a little rude when I asked for one.
