Road Lodge South gate
The Road Lodge had no record of my booking and after 20 minutes reloaded my booking. I am not sure who's fault this is? The room was fine and the staff very polite. There was a shortage of staff in the kitchen which resulted in waiting time of 90 minutes for a meal.

I always enjoy staying at Southgate Road Lodge. However, I was not pleased at all with the Malta pudding I ordered. It was rubbering and I only ate the custard, which was excellent. The reception staff compensated me by reducing my bill by the R70 price of the Malta. Other than this incident, am happy.
