Pleasant quiet beautiful comfort. The stay was pleasant. Note that Mela is not within the Dinokeng self-drive area. Game drives are limited to the 147ha Mela property only.

Place is very dirty and neglected. It was definitely one of the worst places we've ever stayed.

Plek is baie vuil en verwaarloos. Dit was virseker een van die slegste plekke waar ons nog gaan bly het.

Improve your standards. Good potential but very lacking in several areas. Poor game drives, poor food, no atmosphere. Very noisy at night time.
