It’s the little things that make it!!!
You know the difference of a nice hotel to a great one is the little things.We were there for one night and leaving early the next morning and the staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating from packing us a packed breakfast to assisting us with info.The rooms are unique with the finishes and the ambiance created.we loved the wood.makes the place feel a bit closer to nature.The hotel and the room was very clean and comfortable.The tea station was well stocked with fresh milk in the fridge.in the bathroom the toiletries supplied were in large containers and not these dinky ones you usually find.The gardens were well kept.my only complaint is that I only got to spend the one night there.will defiantly put it on the list of places to revisit.

Nice stay
The property was nice and the rooms were decent. I was disappointed with the view and lack of activities at the venue. Service was good and the food at the restaurant was okay.

Lovely hotel
Awesome location and comfortable clean room with a comfortable bed. The staff were great. The breakfast was delicious but unfortunately neither of us enjoyed our dinners. One suggestion would be to improve upon the extractor fan/ ventilation in the kitchen if possible as the passages/closer rooms smell of cooking.

Nice lodge; poor room.
Friendly welcome, but that’s where the good news ends. Our room, immediately adjacent to the kitchen and restaurant, filled with the smell of frying food from about 4pm. Our request to change rooms was denied. As the restaurant filled, so the noise level in our room escalated. The layout needs review. Breakfast was good.

Good choice in Underberg
We very much enjoyed our stay at Malachite Manor. The room was spacious and well equipped. All staff members were very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was nice. We also had dinner there and we would definitely recommend it. With a special mention for the absolutely delicious lamb curry. Should you book a tour to Sani Pass via Trip Advisor, then you can choose to be picked up at the hotel at no extra cost.
