A place to be when in Richards Bay. The father and son (Cory) were great hosts. They are welcoming and friendly. We were well catered for; the hosts exceeded our expectations. We are definitely coming back again to this lovely place.
Two ticks and your stay is organised from top to bottom with all your wants and needs. The host, Courtney, is vibrant, friendly and has a warm welcoming air around her. The Lodge is well looked after and has a stunning lounge area that guests can enjoy leading out to a walkway amongst the trees! Rooms are clean and crisp.
It's a lodge run by a family, the family is very nice and welcoming! Thanks for your hospitality. If you are looking for a recharge and quiet place with good price, definitely this is what you want!
Close to Alton the industrial industry of Richards bay. This lodge has exceeded my expectations with great and friendly staff. Vian and Courtney as our hosts, our check in was quick and easy. Our rooms were well prepared and the decor and setting was perfect. Breakfast was on time and delicious. This lodge has a holiday feeling with the swimming pool rock feature and braai area in the woods. Lovely wood deck and entertainment area. I will definitely return. Thanks for a great time.
Clean and comfortable accommodation. This is the place to stay when visiting Richards Bay!
