Client comments and reviews

Nitun was a lovely place, though I've never been anywhere with less information. It was a really relaxing place to be and suited the end of our holiday, but would have frustrated us at the start. The food was good but so pricey. - AD (February 2007)

We loved Nitun Lodge and Bernie and Lore plus their assortment of parrots, dogs, geese and hummingbirds. Our day trips were great - the food was completely outstanding, and the picnics we took to the Parks were amazing - full scale meals with tablecloths! - MC (May 2005)
