81 guests' feedbackVery, very nice, thank you.
We found our go-to accommodation when visiting Sodwana Bay. The speedy assistance and friendly nature of all the staff was top-notch. They made us feel welcome every step of the way and the cabins are beautiful. Surrounded with quality and comfort. Close to all amenities and a true warm reflection of our new home away from home.
The cottage was absolutely beautiful and very comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped and organised, and I loved the higher countertop height. The beds and linen were of good quality and extremely comfortable. The host was lovely and very helpful.
We spent the night there before starting the Thonga Trail and again after completing the walk. Thank you for your hospitality, kindness and the unexpected favor. We had a nice stay.
Excellent stay! Had a really nice stay. Will definitely go back for a longer visit!
Fantastic place! Spacious, clean, safe, beautiful and comfortable! Would definitely recommend to anyone.
The place was nice and clean, safe, and had good internet.
Would recommend Phumulani Lodge to anyone going to Sodwana. Clean, tidy, quiet and really very comfortable and close to everything.
Beautiful bathroom, nice kitchen. Lovely place close to the beach.
Easy to find. Friendly host. Clean, safe and centrally located.
What an amazing experience. Mariette goes out of her way to make your stay perfect. Unit is spotless. Loved the aircons. Enjoyed the swimming pool. Security is topnotch. Will definitely see us again!
The whole premises is very neatly maintained. The house was very spacious and has everything one needs. There is a generator that was switched on at times when there was load shedding. Would recommend Pumulani Lodge to anyone.
It's a very comfortable place. Large yard where children can play. We had a nice stay.
Mariette and her staff were so friendly and always had a helping hand. The house was spacious and well-equipped. If you have the chance, stay there!
From the time Mariette waited for us in the pouring rain, until we drove four days later, everything was excellent.
Mariette is an extremely attentive host. The place was very clean with a great cleaner who came every day.
We were kindly met by Mariëtte. We really had a great time.
I would definitely recommend Phumulani Lodge. What awesome people and a great place to stay. The service is spectacular and very clean. The staff is very friendly. The location is safe and great. Will stay there again. Thanks guys see you soon.
We had a super time at Phumulani Lodge. Very good value for money. We will be back.
Value for money and clean. Will definitely book again.
Everything was just right. Mariette is very friendly and helpful. Kitchen is nicely equipped. Nice air conditioning. It was exactly as in the pictures.
We were received by Mariette who was very friendly and helpful, we didn't need anything extra for vacation and will definitely stay there again.
It's very safe there. Security during the evenings. When we got there they were waiting for us at the chalet. Everything works. Everything is clean. Place / barbecue is cleaned every day. Lots of space. We have nothing to complain about. Will always recommend it.
Mariette made such an effort to make us feel welcome! Facilities are exactly as advertised.
Excellent choice of accommodation.
Very nice stay and safe, will stay there again.
Great place to vacation, much like Mozambique.
Beautiful place. Had a great time and would recommend with great confidence.
Very neat accommodation and friendly staff who received us on time. Will definitely stay here again.
Very spacious and comfortable. Now the 5th time we have been there and will go again.
Went home comfortably. Well equipped units, security is very good. Nice pool and well located. Definitely book again!
I was very impressed. Everything worked. There was enough of everything in the house. Security was top notch. The cleaner did her job well. The caretaker was very friendly and willing to help with anything. She also often came to check in to see if we were happy or if we needed anything. Very professional. Cottage was beautiful, decent shower head. We will be back for sure.
Was the third time now and going again in December. Very comfortable and nice.
We have stayed here numerous times, and would love to go back. Neat, clean and affordable.
It was lovely, if we could stay longer we definitely would.
Chalet was perfect, like brand new with AC, double point plugs, towels etc. Mariette around the corner was friendly, and helpful, wouldn't sleep anywhere else in Sodwana, around the corner from main beach.
Large lawn for the children to play on with good security, the cooled rooms are great after a day in the hot sun. There is a swimming pool to wash off the sea and also a braai (by the pool and at each unit) for dinner. Erika's team is very helpful and friendly!
Good cleaning service and Erika arranged everything nicely for us and responded very quickly to inquiries.
Very clean and tidy. During loadshedding, we had no power outages, with the generator arriving promptly. Will definitely stay there again.
Rustag and very clean and safety is good. Thank you very much, it was nice.
We had a great time staying here and will definitely go back. The unit we stayed in was spacious and clean and set amongst trees where you can see and hear a variety of birds.
See stars.
We had a pleasant stay. One of the aircons was not working properly but the owner said that they will make work of it. Overall we had a good stay. An aircon in the living room will be great in the future.
People were very friendly and helpful and loved the extra detail with extra table and fleeced blankets that you can use as well as bath towels in wooden houses.
Dankie vir ‘n onvergeetlike vakansie Phumulani Lodge! Ons gaan elke jaar Sodwana toe en jul verblyf was by vêr die beste en uitstekende waarde vir ons geld. Patricia, Mumsie en die res van die span is hulpvaardig, vriendelik en hard werkend. Die Lodge is baie netjies en sekuriteit baie goed. Swembad kan dalk bietjie aandag (kennis) geniet! Deel asb. ons goeie resensie met die staff, dis hulle wat ons so lekker laat tuis voel het! Ons sien julle definitief weer volgende jaar!
The chalet was sparkling clean and was cleaned every day. Chalet number 8 is among the trees and the bird sounds and squirrels in the trees were very special to us. The chalet is very spacious and well equipped with quality furniture and equipment. The pantry and fridge-freezer are also spacious. The air conditioning in the living area and both rooms was a great relief after a hot day at the beach. The security is also excellent. We will definitely stay there again when we visit Sodwana.
Nice clean and a friendly place. Will go back for sure.
Secure parking, well equipped cottages with enough space. Very good value for money and the service we received was 5 star! Will definitely visit again!
Had a great time. Safe place and beautiful. Neat and spacious.
It is a nice quiet and peaceful place with friendly staff. Neat and clean.
The rooms were cool and could get a good night's rest. Privacy was available.
Lekkee hung out every evening around the fire and on the stoep. Kitchen is equipped for the most necessary cooking.
Pity about the loud party on Friday night going on to 02h00 on Saturday morning.
The chalets are clean with air-conditioning in the bedrooms. Set around secure parklike grounds. Enjoyed our stay.
Unfortunately, the power cut that occurred on our last night caused some of our food to go off - the generator was not on that night.
Lovely holiday homes, I will certainly use their accommodation many more times. The cottages have everything you need with daily reliable cleaning services, a 10 out of 10 for sure.
Very safe, clean and nice place to stay.
It was clean and nice! Mumsie was there on arrival, friendly and helpful! Will go again tomorrow if I can. Will definitely use them again.
It's an excellent place for anglers. Very neat, might consider putting in a TV.
Was very impressed with how nicely the cabin is furnished. Everything clean and in its place. Environment quiet and private. Gives summer vacation feeling. Mamasy was there for any requests and we were very satisfied and had a very nice stay.
Our stay at Phumlani Lodge in Sodwana Bay was excellent. Everything one needs is there. Will definitely book with Phumlani Lodge again.
Beautiful place and people area very friendly. Will definitely go again.
Neat place. The campsite was nice and spacious and the 10 of us could set up a tent there. Trees provided enough coolness for the hot days. Bath rooms also clean and tidy. Would highly recommend Phumulani.
Have stayed there before and will stay there again. Always a go to place for us at Sodwana.
Will definitely stay there again.
Die beste akkommodasie wat ek nog in gebly het in Sodwana. Alles was perfek netjies, skoon en in uitstekende kondisie. Veiligheid is uit die boonste rakke! Ek sal dit vir seker aanbeveel!
Very impressed with Phumulani. It was clean (cleaners clean daily), tidy, we felt very safe with the excellent security. The kitchen equipment is complete and even more than one needs. Not far from the beach at all. An absolute pleasure, we will definitely visit Phumulani again.
Very affordable accommodation. Enjoy enjoy staying there. Everything was clean, tidy and in its place. Staff working there are friendly. Will definitely stay there again.
We have already passed on the full review to the owner.
We enjoyed it very much. It is exactly as they advertise. Had a great time. Mumsie was very helpful and friendly.
I would definitely recommend the lodge to anyone, it's very neat and easy to access, staff are friendly and helpful, the pool is a bonus for the hot summer days, just watch out for the curious aggies that sneak through the fence for you peek. I will definitely consider Phumulani Lodge again for my next getaway!
No words, really it was amazing.
Units are neat and spacious. Phumulani is centrally located and easily accessible. So peaceful and quiet that I will take a small radio along next time.
It was a very nice time there. House was always clean and neat. Service is fast and very friendly.
Lovely weekend or holiday house within 10 minutes from the beach. Private, safe and very convenient houses.
It doesn't matter what the weather does. It is still comfortable and the swimming pool is a big asset.
See stars.
The service we received before and during our visit there was very good. The house was neat and well equipped with everything you needed. We really enjoyed staying there and will definitely go back again. It's nice and close to everything, cleaned daily and nice and cool with the air conditioning - perfect for the muggy weather.
The lodge itself is very pleasant, comfortable and tidy. The only downside is that it is located outside the former Park Board's area. One therefore has to pay a substantial entrance fee every time you want to visit the beach (about R165 for a car with two adults and one child).
Campground top notch and peaceful.
