Contrary to those select few who were invited to leave our property and have since decided to tell everyone there thoughts....we are still open and going well.

Quotes from recent guests....last week!

Balmoral Boards - Shop Manager - Sydney
" Had a Ball, great kiting, very chill, great snorkelling"
Andrius Daukus

Kite Sessions - Owner - Sydney
"Best kiteboarding I've had, awesome food, relaxed and friendly atmosphere & staff, see you all next season + you must have a go at the Safari downwinders (huge!)"
Luke Selby

" Just spent 10 days at Safari. Had a ball. Great spot / wind / people / food (especially food). Awesome place, great staff, very relaxing, food is tops"
Melbourne private client...

So, if you really want the picture....we are open, we have all our appropriate licences and have NEVER operated illegally (nice one boys for trying to slur my company name...)

If you would like a clients story, please feel free to ring Andrius from Balmoral boards in Sydney, he just spent 10 days here.....or ring Luke from Kite Sessions.....both of them loved it!

If you want me to answer any queries or allegatins others have written to try to revenge from being invited to leave, then feel free to email me direct...my emails public..happy to help. Email me for photos of our property, now they have left the container has been unloaded and the property fitted out with fine Australian furniture.

We are open and clients are happy....

If your mature, enjoy a morning cup of nice coffee, and appreciate fine furniture, comfortable conditions, in a new facility then feel free to email me about availability. If your young and want other things, then find them elsewhere..... because we don't tolerate it.

Warren has as much right to try to fix the damage done to his reputation by yourself and others, as you did to damage it in the first place.

If safari lodge was really that bad, there would be alot of complaints by now... not from just one trip... so you may have had a bad experience, doesnt mean everyones experience there will be the same...

This sounds a bit un fair in my opinion. Slingshot and KBM sponser this site im sure, and yet if they started a thread on how good there product is or how good the next mag is going to be im sure it would be removed asap. other posts about safari lodge have been removed from this site for no apperent reason i guess if you sponser this site it automatically voids you as a topic of conversation unless its positive. If this is the case you would think that all the individuals that have posted negative replies about KBM should have been removed aswell. What do you think about this i would love to hear other peoples opinnions

I think this thread acts as a rebuttal of character assasination and slander.

I dont understand what that is ment to mean. It is a seperate part of the site designed for the purpose of promotion. all i am upposed to is the promtion in the forum side of the site. i dont get your point. id like to her lauries thoughts on this?

It means that most people can see through the smoke, your attempts to discredit Warren's place here and in KBM have not been very successful. The is some justice in the world after all

Time to let go...get over it

Bo

sponsorship has run out hasn't it.

If Warren was that good he wouldn't need to come in here and up talk the place now would he. It takes 2 to tango
Thanks for making it clear now Warren that children, teenagers and young adult kiters are not welcome and that after the 'incident' you decided to fit the place out with some furniture making it fit for people to stay.
Good for you.

what's the problem here?

if you want to go to fiji, you choose gowindsurfing.com and stay at the morrison resort. too easy!

For all you ill informed I have a few little things to say that clearly explain the situation.

KBM and riders invited to promote new kiting resort - seems simple keep the guys entertained for 9 days

accomodation for the young guys flimsy crappy tents in a unprepared / landscaped swampy mess during the end of the wet season

Lodge with no mozzie screens on the windows no fans no furniture besides 6 pathetic beach chairs (the ones when your but is 2 inches of the ground)

No bed shees or pillows for three of the guests no mosquito nets for any of the beds

No running water or flushing toilets for days at a time water deliverd from algae stained chemical drums

no land scaping so the grounds filled up like a pond for 4 days making it impossible to keep the place clean or access the place without walking through knee hi water

promises of a boat to wake board behind - no boat - fishing yea 3 x 200 mtrs from the shore no fish basically no contingency plans

Chastised when we went out for a night of fun and didnt ask for wazzas permission - weirdo

Oh a container full of furniture has now arrived - thanks Wazza I love to holiday in a empty unfinished unfurnished shack where I can be masacred by mosquitos all day and especially at night when I am sleeping on a mattress with my towel and a clothes for cover - basic hygeine

You have no idea what hospitality is, if you treat people with no regard for their comfort how do you expect people to react?

Although small but very significant in my eyes if you cant even provide basics such as a sheet or a pillow (not mention the rest)clearly tells me of the kind of unorganised ill-prepared show you run

Very, Very disapointing trip thank God for Go windsurfing and Morrisons who managed to salvage the rest of our trip to make it memorable for the right reasons.

Is telling it how it was exuding crud?

To quote you -but at some stage there needs to be an automatic spell check for posts to stop posters from embarassing themselves
-(its spelt exude not exhuded)

I have nothing to gain but to tell the truth

Tony you must have some kind of interest in this business as you have been quite vocal in your support for SL and given you were not there I fail to understand how you can substantiate any of your argument. I would be embarrassed to have any association with Safari Lodge or Warren Francis.

If you are comfortable dealing with even half of what I have stated (oh and there’s lots more), I think your pulling the pud?

I am 32 years old not 21 and have travelled far and wide enough to know what’s acceptable and what’s plainly not.

I look forward to your response

Bevo

and then he would DEFEND the safari lodge???
c mon - this thread isn't that hard to understand...

That'd be wicked ...

After reading Bevo's story, I feel like a holliday at Safari Lodge !
Sounds like fun,a bit of an adventure !

Notice the critics don't mention kiting or wind conditions. Its strange that one of the complaints was about the lack of a boat to "wakeboard" behind. This says a lot about this ungratefull crew.Just a bunch of spoilt wakeboarders that are soft as girls !

Hi Timothy

As far as wakeboarding goes I dont generalize on the character of the individuals, also I have never wakeboarded behind a boat in my life, I would love to have a go, some of the stuff these guys do is seriously radical - respect

What I was meaning was the boat could have been one positive (we were told there was a boat) at least even a kook wakeboarder like myself could of had a go.

There was a lack of any contingency plan to keep the boredom away. A smart host taking a gamble on the conditions would of thought of this. How long could you crack coconuts for?

As far as the conditions go they were not special basicaly choppy deep water conditions with gnarly coral reef lined shores that on the low were a total no go

And as for the wind we were informed we were about 6 weeks to early -so we got about 3 days of frontal squally wind

Hi Timothy,
Full account of wind and water conditions on Nananu-i-Ra posetd by myself under thread titled "HELP! Going to Fiji" or to that effect in early May. Could help you plan your trip.

PS not all girls are soft :-)
