16 guests' feedbackNot overcrowded. And beautifully placed.
Neat place and clean.
Excellent spot for a short stay. Lots of wildlife living in the ceilings.
Crafters is equipped with everything to make your holiday run smoothly. We will definitely book there again.
Had a great stay, everyone very friendly and helpful, especially the ladies who come to clean.
Gorgeous venue with friendly staff. Perfect for a scuba holiday. Close to all amenities. Very well priced.
Beautiful clean and tidy chalet, equipped with everything and more that is needed. Very safe during the day and at night. Lovely shade trees for the hot summer months.
Nice place that is close to the entrance of Isimangaliso. There are plenty of places to eat around. The accommodation was better than we expected and the service was good. We would have liked to stay longer.
I will recommend Crafters Lodge to my friends. It is lovely and secluded, very tranquil.
Was very nice. Very nice place. Located close to everything.
Pleasantly surprised with how comfortably it is furnished, as well as with everything available from cutlery, kitchen utensils, etc. Will definitely visit again!
Crafters Lodge is a very neat and clean unit. Cleaners very helpful and security guard very friendly. Unit a bit small, especially the bathroom, but all that counts is very clean and tidy and nice just for a place to sleep, especially for us who were at sea all day, it's perfect if you're just looking for a neat place to sleep, would recommend.
See stars.
Our first visit to Sodwana. Beautiful house in nature. Fully equipped, with everything your heart desires. Just a shame we couldn't really use any of the appliances as we literally had no electricity the night we checked in. Management provided us with a generator, but after 5 days of struggle, we packed up. The owners offered to move us to an alternative accommodation on day 5. However, we decided to cut our leave short by 4 days instead, and head home. One very big compliment I can give to owners is that they were willing to compensate us in full. If the power problem can be sorted out here, it will definitely be one of the best places to stay in Sodwana.
