15 June 2021
Air conditions not working. All old and not maintained. Changed room twice and at the end they had to put a noisy heater. Also rooms are not cleaned properly. The ashtray in the room wasn’t cleaned from the previous stay and in another room a mouse jumped out of the air condition. Big ants are everywhere.

Good choice
The views were amazing and the lodge is central to other places which provide activities (e.g Mantenga Nature Reserve and the craft market).
During my stay, we experienced poor WiFi network.
The breakfast menu is very limited, will probably not be suitable for vegetarians or vegans.
The staff is very hospitable and friendly, showed care and respect.
The lodge in and of itself is a beauty and the botanicals that surround the lodge are a serenity for anyone who finds pleasure in nature.
The beds were comfortable and the TV has a USB port, which came in handy when the channels were not viewing anything interesting.
