Lovely stay, small upgrades would make it even better. OK, from the freeway. Please deflate your tyres, the corrugations are ridiculous; small cars suffer the most. Our stay was very pleasant, we were greeted by a very friendly Mr George, very friendly, so was the rest of the staff. The buffet was amazing, ate till I couldn't get off the chair. The rooms were pleasant, no aircon though, the pressure on the shower was the highest pressure I've ever had the pleasure of bathing in. The wall sockets had only 3 pin plugs, please upgrade it to at least include USB. The room had two twin beds, the one on the left was very uncomfortable, it needs to be replaced.

The location and set up is just perfect! We were rather disappointed after upgrading to the luxury chalet so we had the hot tub, only to find that when the hot tub was switched on it tripped the power, so we had warm water to wallow in with no bubbles. The oven doesn't seal properly, so a lot of the heat escapes. The second bedside lamp in chalet one doesn't work. The plug point in chalet two works on and off but more off than on. The staff were exceptional and tried their best to assist us and were so friendly and helpful. Just a bit of TLC needed.

Very relaxing. Lovely. Very hospitable, clean chalet. Kitchen was a little too basic and could have used some touches of luxury such as a Bodum for coffee, but other than that we had no complaints.

Excellent stay with friendly staff, great food, and beautiful views; only the ga. Everything at the lodge was awesome – from the reception, restaurant, views, and accommodation. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and the food was excellent. The only issue we encountered was with booking the Big Five game drive. I was asked to drive to another lodge to make the booking, which I found very inconvenient. To enhance the guest experience and ensure a perfect stay, transport could be arranged between the lodges for guests who wish to book activities at another property.

It was awesome. It was awesome. Friendly staff and exceptionally tasty food. A few negatives were that the pillows were too soft in our unit and there was no fridge, which was problematic, but the cleanliness and food quality, coupled with really friendly staff, made up for it. The place is super quiet and just the place to go to for a reset from the hustle and bustle of city life. Highly recommend it if you love the bush.

We had a very wonderful stay, we are definitely coming back. We had a very wonderful stay, the friendly staff from the reception lady to the restaurant staff and the team. The only problem was the tent was loose on the side and it caused more coldness.

Friendly service, nice place to hang out with friends. We booked a game drive at Mangwa Lodge where we drove around their camps and saw rhinos, buffalo, golden blue wildebeest and other antelope species. A platter and drink per person was included. . The staff are very friendly and helpful and quickly make plans if there is a crisis. The Lodge is relatively centrally located with Arlington Brewery just around the corner. . Facilities were clean and tidy. We had a great stay.

Vriendelike diens, lekker kuierplek vir saam met vriende. Ons het 'n game drive by Mangwa Lodge bespreek waar ons in hulle kampe rondgery het en renosters, buffels, goue blouwildebeeste en ander boksoorte gesien het. 'n Platter en drankie per persoon was ingesluit. . Die personeel is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam en maak vinnig plan as daar krisis is. Die Lodge is relatief sentraal geleê met Arlington Brewery net om die draai. . Geriewe was skoon en netjies. Ons het lekker gebly.
