Golden Experience

Pros: If I had to describe my experience in one word, it would be GOLDEN. Spacious rooms with comfy beds, green lawns, and a stocked mini bar made it perfect. The lodge offers 24-hour security, Wi-Fi, an in-house restaurant, and delicious breakfasts (even packed for early travellers to Kruger). Location is great.

A gem in Nelspruit. Would definitely recommend a dinner reservation at the restaurant.

The stay and the venue met our expectations and the place is child friendly and central to amenities

Pros: The breakfast offered a variety of eats and it was superb. My family liked the restaurant, as for the garden, swimming pool and the ambiance around the lodge are breathtaking, I'll definitely return to this venue.

Cons: The parking is available but there is room for improvement, the security on the lodge cancelled the plain parking (no undercover parking). When we visited the venue there was a storm on Saturday night and vehicles were parked in the open which could have resulted in hail damages.
