    a cozy slice of bushveld paradise, hosted by the friendliest frenchman i have ever met!!

    with the thatch roofs, it was not very sound proof being so close to the main road. although the shower was warm, it would have been a tad better if it were able to be warmer since i travelled in winter. other than that it was perfect.

    the stay was excellent. it was close to where i needed to go for work so the locale was perfect. it was a literal slice of bushveld in the middle of the hustle and bustle of joburg. the owner David was the perfect host and was super accommodating. the bed was impressively comfortable!!

    No complaints, we loved it all.

    The Lodge is beautiful and while there, you completely forget that you're in the city, which we loved. David, our host, was very friendly and accommodating. The cottage was cosy, beautifully decorated and comfortable. We especially loved the fireplace and love spending the evenings infront of it watching movies - great, since the weather was freezing!

    This lodge, only a few mins away from Jo'burg is a very peaceful place. You would not expect to find such a place within a city, but here it is. I enjoyed everything about it. A little piece of nature and of the bush in the city. The owner David is lovely, welcoming, always willing to help. very nice service and team working there. I totally recommend this place. And feel free to ask them about the tours they can offer !

    There is a lot of shade but sunny areas too. This would suit the majority of guests though.

    This place is a gem. The lush surroundings make you feel as if you are way out in the countryside but in reality it's just a few miles from the city. David has created a tropical paradise, along with his team they went above and beyond all our expectations. The team are friendly, warm and welcoming. We would love to go back. If you are looking for somewhere to stay for a rejuvenating break, or just an airport stop over - I urge you to book and enjoy this beautiful Eden.

    Nothing, we liked everything at the lodge.

    What a great place to stay and unwind!! The lodge is in a busy neighborhood, but you forget all about the noise and the traffic once you enter the premises. There's a small, safe shopping center within walking distance where you can buy food etc. The lodge itself is beautiful with a swimming pool and a large entertainment/relaxation area next to it. David is an awesome host and very friendly, he was always around if we needed him. We booked a studio which is huge and has everything you need. The beds were very comfortable. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much and will definitely return again.
