Beautiful lodge with excellent service

Wow, what an outstanding little gem this lodge was. Traveled to the Eastern Cape with family and stopped over for an evening here. The gentleman who helped us does the night shift alone and what amazing service he gave. The rooms were spotless, well ventilated and stocked. Great service, beautiful rooms and perfectly located. 10/10 would visit again.
