It took a while to get hold of the lodge manager , as no one was at the gate to open. Dispute notices about dangerous animals, I was still expected to get out of the car and open the gate, same at check out too. This was is irresponsible as if puts guests in danger! Property requires updating, no phone in the lodge, so guests have no way of contacting reception/ manager. Staff were accommodating, attentive and helpful. Had fish and chips for dinner, it was devine! My stay was elevated by waking up to the sound of a. roaring lion as a wake-up alarm clock. With improvements to their reception af The lodge entrance and some lodge imp were movements, I would stay there again. ##### Lorraine Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Palace of the Lost City at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Palace-Of-The-Lost-City-At-Sun-City-Resort.h392096.Hotel-Information) > > [Thorn & Feather (Vermaaklikheid)](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermaaklikheid-Hotels-Thorn-Feather.h61102048.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Ambassador Bridge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ambassador-Bridge-Hotels.0-l508304-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Mafigeni Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Gravelotte-Hotels-Mafigeni-Safari-Lodge.h3954755.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Polokwane](https://www.expedia.ca/Polokwane-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Polokwane.h17771611.Hotel-Information) > > [Spa Hotels in Halifax](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Spa-Hotel.0-0-d602873-tSpaHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Mountain View Boutique Suite with contactless entry - The Lake at Blue Mountains](https://www.expedia.ca/The-Blue-Mountains-Hotels-Mountain-View-Boutique-Suite-With-Contactless-Entry-The-Lake-At-Blue-Mountains.h34992368.Hotel-Information) > > [Aquila Private Game Reserve & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Touws-River-Hotels-Aquila-Private-Game-Reserve-Spa.h6347327.Hotel-Information) > > [Furaveri Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Furaveri-Hotels-Furaveri-Maldives-Stay-4-Nights-Or-MORE-From-01-May-To-31-Oct-2025.h12809109.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabin Rentals New Brunswick](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Brunswick-Cabins.d11161-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [The Park Hotel London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Park-Hotel-London.h528290.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Gardiner](https://www.expedia.ca/Gardiner-Hotels.d7362.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [SandmanHotels Hotels in Burlington](https://www.expedia.ca/Burlington-Hotels-Sandman-Hotels.0-0-d7149--bSandmanHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Motels Mississauga](https://www.expedia.ca/Mississauga-Motels.d7954-aaMotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Bridgewater](https://www.expedia.ca/Lunenburg-Hotels-Comfort-Inn.h17913.Hotel-Information) > > [Quality Inn & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Midland-Hotels-Quality-Inn-Conference-Centre.h23922.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels.d178245.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites London by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Corbin-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-And-Suites-London.h979309.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Air Canada Toronto (YYZ) to Delhi (DEL) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/air-canada-from-pearson-intl-to-indira-gandhi-intl/ac/yyz/del) > > [Flights from Dieppe (YQM) to Phoenix (PHX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqm/phx/moncton-to-phoenix) > > [Flights from Manila (MNL) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mnl/yvr/manila-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Singapore (SIN) to Tuban (DPS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sin/dps/singapore-to-denpasar) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yvr/toronto-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Arlanda (ARN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/arn/ottawa-to-stockholm) ### Packages > [Balnea](https://www.expedia.ca/Balnea-Bromont.d553248621532865824.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit Old Orchard Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Old-Orchard-Beach.dx9256) > > [Visit Pompei](https://www.expedia.ca/Pompei.dx11391) > > [Visit Alert](https://www.expedia.ca/Alert.dx553248635921598923) > > [Visit Louisiana](https://www.expedia.ca/Louisiana.dx220)
