Potential to be great - but not quite there yet
The lodge has great potential, but management needs to focus on the detail. On arrival, there was no water in the en-suite bathroom. The kettle in the room was filthy, and I had to request a clean one from reception. But most disappointing was that the room was not connected to the generator like the rest of the lodge was, and I was not informed of this when booking or when checking in. Should I stay here again I would really like to see that these issues have been dealt with.

Grumpy
1 If a table / work surface is provided a chair might be helpful. 2If the room has an adjoining door, it should be more soundproof. 3What is the point of a winter weight duvet on a bed during a South African Summer.? Solve 2 + 3 and I might actually have been able to sleep in the bed provided.

Randall, Vancouver Canada

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The lady at the front desk was wonderful to deal with. Breakfast was included and they exceeded my expectations. The staff were lovely. I got in late and they waited up for me (did call them about month before). Had to fetch my frail mother from an old age home nearby. The facility and services exceeded the price. Great value.
