5 guests' feedbackBeautiful unit with air conditioning, which was necessary. The fully stocked kitchen was really helpful. We loved the private boma/braai outside areas and nice access to the park. The only downfall was the poor signage to get around the park, which made the first few personal game drives quite frustrating. The map handed out at reception did not help whatsoever; it definitely needs to be redone with more accuracy.
Chalets were very nice and clean. Would recommend to include cleaning services in the price. Would definitely recommend Elephant Lodge 266.
Definitely worth it. Will go again and again.
All that was missing was soap in the bathrooms and a hair dryer. Furthermore, a very neat and well-equipped unit.
2nd time around staying at this unit. Layout is small but convenient enough. A bit more expensive compared to other bigger homes on Mabablingwe so it won't be my first choice home in that regard. Location and proximity to the leisure area is really nice. It would have been nice if we had some hand soap and more towels in the bathrooms, especially at this price point. No bread knife. WiFi would be nice, again at this price point it is expected. Loved the two fridges and TVs in both rooms, as well as the access to the outside from both rooms. The kitchen is extremely hot as a result of the skylights, and doors + windows can't always be left open due to monkeys in the area at times, so this was a real and uncomfortable problem - maybe add a fan or aircon to the kitchen as well. Air cons in bedrooms, really nice. Love the abundance of wildlife. Did not enjoy the braai area - impossible to braai in the scorching sun as the designated braai for this unit does not have the tree canopy providing shade such as what the other braai areas have. All in all a nice unit but again, it won't be my first choice unless no other units available.
