It's a very lovely Lodge. The place looks like exactly what on the website. So nice n quite. Super clean from the outside n the room as well. We wish to experience the place more on our next stay.

I just wish they can have rechargeable lamps ONLY for when Loadshedding kicks in so that we are not left completely in the dark n end up using our phones.

Great location in Midrand area, very close to Mall of Africa Shopping Centre. Plenty of good restaurants close by. Large well-kept gardens, lots of open space provide for some tranquility in the city. Rooms are extremely clean, even though it is an older establishment. Breakfast was good, and once again in a very clean room. Lastly, my hosts were very friendly and accommodating.

Nothing bothered me.
