Reviews of Zululand Lodge

Staff and Martin was very accommodating and friendly Food was below average

The lodge should respect clients privacy and let them eat and dine separately. I did not like the one table everyone together to sit with strangers while I want to spend time with my family staff was very noisy in kitchen while guests want to enjoy the quietness of the bushveld

WAlk in the bush was amazing.

Martin was an excellent host.

The food. Could have been tastier and a better choice.

A heaven place We had the lodge for ourselves It’s situated right in the middle of a private reserve You get welcomed every day by all the animals living on the property and you can hear them at night The manager is super friendly and took us on a morning walk The food was delicious A must stay when you are in the area We’ll come back for sure

How remote it is. Completely quiet aside from a Zebra brushing it’s back on the tent at 3am 🤩 the hosts and servers were brilliant

Just be aware of the road to get there. More suitable to a vehicle with good ground clearance.

This was our third visit in as many years and we seldom go to a place more than once. Even the drive into the lodge is exceptional, with lovely game viewing. The staff and manager Martin, are all so helpful and go out of their way to make your stay a pleasurable one.

There is nothing to dislike.

Martin was incredible. Pool was amazing. Location is wonderful. Bird life is sensational.

Suggest more access to the amazing waterfront. We went for a walk and there was amazing wildlife and birds, would be nice if there was access / hide of sorts for guests staying.

Martin was an absolute star and easy to chat to . Staff were friendly and would recommend the establishment for short breaks away.

The only thing that was of concern was the bugs and insects at night . I would recommend the establishment offer insect spray , peaceful sleep.and some form of ventilation for the tents on hot summer nights .

It was exciting to see the abundant wildlife on property. Giraffe , Warthogs , Eland and being able to walk around freely. Martin who has such a passion for the bird life and Ntokozo were excellent hosts and made our stay memorable.

Improvements would be the signage at the gate, the GPS directions, fans in the rooms definitely..

Incredible staff, and Incredible location, 100 percent recommend.

Nothing!

The Cleanliness, comfort and lovely service from the staff.

None.

We skipped breakfast to avoid communal dinning at one table with people we don't know.

No help with our luggage, I also felt a little nervous moving around at night with wild animals (hippo, hyena and etc) and no security to walk you to your rooms. There was only communal dinning, which was awkward after a long day on the road. We also got lost on the way to the property, the directions on Booking.com is faulty. We drove for an hour in the wrong direction.

So close to nature and super relaxing. We had a great walk guided by Martin down to the river in the morning- a great way to start the day!! Good bird life

Nothing

The setting and facilities were all wonderful. Seeing wildlife that we had never seen before. Staff were all exceptional.

Got a bit cold at night. While showering water went ice cold. Could not finish showering.

When I made the reservation I told the resort that my partner was a vegan. I also told them that we were travelling from Durban and would require lunch on day of arrival. (Both of these were asked at time of booking) . When we arrived , no lunch was available and the chef was not aware of any special dietary requirements . When we checked in we noted that the inside of tent had got very wet following heavy rains prior to our arriving. We also had difficulty finding the place because it was not clearly signposted. We arrived at a gate which did not display the resorts name . (It was reflected in tiny print under a disclaimer which we didn't even read). We were NOT told at the time of booking that we would need to access an unmarked gate and have to phone through for access. The net result is that we took another route and got horribly lost driving around in roads that were very muddy due to heavy rains . To summarize, what could have been a great few days ended in a disaster because the little details (communication, leaks, and signposting) are not being attended to.

Loved the tented accommodation - very comfortable.

There was everything to like - no dislikes.
