The day after we got there our neighbors woke up so early and their car was pumping music nonstop I eventually called the Reception after 2 hours was told that they would send Securities into the place. Was so disappointed that there is no wi fi coverage in the rooms even in the Restaurant area you must sit in a certain area, that for me was a no no my kids wanted us to move out immediately we realize that we were screwed. The day before I checked out same thing happened, my neighbors played their Radio like they were in a Party. Like I mean, are there no rules in that place? People are there to rest and not being woken up by the inconsiderate people.

Worst run and managed place I have EVER stayed at
Sad that such a beautiful place is so badly managed. Dinner - no Amstel which was not really an issue. They had 5 choices on the menu, 3 of which you could not have as they had no beef. So, I went and ate elsewhere. The breakfast experience was worse. Supposed to start at 6;30 and could only start around 7;10 because the staff arrived late for work, even the new restaurant manager. you could have coffee, if you did not want milk, as they did not have any. Toast, if you liked it dry as they had no butter, or margarine. When the actual breakfast did arrive, it was cold, fridge cold......... So, I did not eat that either. In these times where occupancy is so low, should they not go out of their way to ensure the guest are happy and return and spread the word so that more people go there? I MOST CERTAINLY WILL NOT BE BACK THERE - EVER!!!!

Stunning views
The lodge is situated on a hill between Mbombela and White river and not too far from Riverside mall and casino,the location is absolutely beautiful with breathtaking views.The rooms are clean and comfortable, however there are only 4 television channels, Sabc 123 and Etv and the reception is terrible,also there is no wifi as advertised which is misleading, the shower is a nightmare, I was unable to get the hot and cold water to mix properly, besides that I enjoyed staying there and the rates were very reasonable compared to other places in the vicinity, probably will come back for a night or two

Great Lodge,worst cleaners.Very bosy
Everything was well until the next morning when i had to transfer to another room.The cleaner ladies need some major mentoring on how to conduct themselves decently when talking to guests.All i got was attitude and it felt like i was obstructing them for carrying out their duties.No respect for privacy whatsoever,its like i wasn't given a choice to have any.From my first and second room.Not ever going there again.Not impressed at all.
