    Loved the fact that the accommodation or at least where we stayed is not even a km off the main road. However, it could help with the flow and control of traffic with so many trucks to have traffic lights at certain points in town.

    We used as a stopover en route to Sodwana. In future, since we know what all there is to offer at this bed and breakfast, will try to arrive earlier to enjoy the amenities. Really well treated by all friendly and very efficient staff, lovely accommodation, breakfast was amazing.

    As we travelled from Kosi Bay to Pretoria, Pongola was selected as a stop-over destination and the road to Pongola was perfect. However the road from Pongola to Piet Retief was atrocious - not recommended due to a large number of trucks and subsequently very bad and dangerous road surfaces.

    Pongola is definitely not a place I will overnight again.

    Pongola is definitely not a place I will overnight again. The town is polluted and dodgy and there are no restaurants except a dirty little Wimpy at a quick shop, which had beer bottles hidden in the jungle gym that apparently doubles as a public toilet, judging by the smell.

    Super vacation - also for non Horse Riders.

    Super vacation - also for non Horse Riders. Service and choice of food, wine and other drinks are top-class. Personal attention from the owners and attentative staff made this holiday one of the best ever. Big, clean rooms with breathtaking views in the middle of the african bush. Hope to go back sometime.

    I frequent Pongola monthly and I always look forward to my stays at Elegant Lodge, from their friendly staff to clean and elegant rooms and breakfast. Everything in this place functions as required and it’s great value for money. It’s the best in Pongola by far

    Pongola is a well-situated stopover when heading to the Northern KZN coast and has some fantastic nature of its own. Coco Cabana is very close to all the local amenities in Pongola central and is neat, tidy and has a very polite and helpful host.

    The owners were very friendly. The location was secured and centralized for the area. The room was especially economical. The hotel seemed to be in the middle of a sugarcane factory.
