4 guests' feedbackWe had a fantastic weekend! The Lodge was excellent in every way. The facilities and staff were really good. The only thing we regret is not staying longer!
Yes, it was very nice and peaceful.
The home, location, and tranquility are unrivaled. I only wish I stayed longer.
Makhato 29 is a beautiful place to be even though it's too hot, but it's a top place.
