Location and views are great. Rooms could be a little bit more comfortable, specially during winter time (they are a little cold)

4/10 Fair

The bed's headboard is made out of a solid concrete. If you miss the pillow, watch your head! The child bed/crib was not set up as requested. It was left in-front of the door without a mattress. At the end of the stay staff always tries to charge you extras for things you didn't do. This has happened twice in a row. The restaurant makes delicious food - that is probably the #1 reason for visiting this lodge. The bathroom (including the toilet and the shower) are in the bedroom so there is no privacy.

Stylish hotel in great setting.
We had a very pleasant stay in this upmarket boutique hotel. The room was very well appointed and the pool area excellent. The location is on a hill overlooking Nelspruit and we dined well at the in-house restaurant on the terrace.
