    We had a wonderful time with family and friends! The lodge is well maintained and spacious.

    There is only 1 double fridge/freezer, and for 10 people, the fridge space was limited. I would recommend adding another fridge for beverages/drinks. The rooms are spacious but a bit empty, and could be made more homely by adding bigger carpets and decorations. There are sufficient cupboards.

    The lodge is spacious, beautiful, and private. The rooms are apart from the main house, allowing privacy. It is easy to access the Kruger National Park (30 min by car) via the Malelane gate (no direct access). One can also have a walk in the residential area, and there is a beautiful lookout point at the river. The game drive offered by Mjejane is also worthwhile, particularly the views along the river. Make a reservation in advance to secure availability. It is a tranquil place where one can relax and enjoy the stupendous surroundings. I was awakened at night by the sounds of roaring lions and saw many more animals walking past the fence in front of the patio and boma. The host, Eric, is always available on WA and responds quickly.

    Nothing

    The location in a private reserve, the incredible house with independent rooms, animals around, …everything! We had a funny moment with monkeys trying to steal our breakfast.

    Our Stay was too short too absorb this beautiful lodge home :-(

    The pictures do not do justice to the lodge, it is tranquil, inviting, homely, very well equipped, clean. The lodge is modern, but the rooms are so just so impressive and comfortable. You really don't want to leave. Our stay was too short.

    Main area needs aircon, especially that you have to keep the windows closed because of the monkeys. Cooler box for game drives would be good addition.

    Rooms great, have aircon, beds very comfortable, lodge well kitted

    For a 10 people house accommodation the pool is too small.

    The actual house(kitchen area and lounge),is spacious, modern, well-equipped , has everything you might need to prepare breakfast, supper and dinner., and the rooms were comfortable and clean.

    The property is actually more beautiful in person than in the pictures. The location on Mjejane is secluded and away from the hustle. There are many animals plodding through the garden and outside the fence, which we loved. The outdoor showers were a highlight, especially on hot nights.

    Being picky here - but only to help the place go another notch up the ratings: a small welcome pack of - say - tea, coffee, sugar, milk ... just the absolute essentials for a day until you get yourself to the shops.

    The host: We never met Eric but he was always just a WhatsApp away, and always responded positively - top man! The gaff: It's one of those places where, on arrival, you just go "Wow" and you think to yourself - I've chosen very wisely! Overall: You'll not get better value than this anywhere - and I do mean ANYWHERE! (just a word on the two photos ... one was taken looking in from outside, the other looking out from inside)

    Nothing at all

    Individual suites and then a main house is epic. Felt like a mini hotel. Had elephants walk right next to the fence which was amazing to see! Definitely will be back!!! Eric is also such a great host

    Wi-Fi in the bedrooms would be nice but it wasn't a big deal.

    loved that it was on a reserve because we saw lots of animals. great amount of space, and really nice furnishings.
