Immediate feeling of 'home from home'; comfortable and relaxing. Our room was very spacious and the food was some of the best we had in our 3 week trip. Conveniently placed off the N2 in a very tranquil setting with a lovely garden. I loved the friendly greeting we got from the little dogs.

We are pleased to let you know...

The rooms are beautiful (massive beds, wooden floors, incredible showers) as are the gardens, the food amazing (one of the best curries I have ever had) and the service spot-on (efficent yet...

After a long flight to South Africa we found a pleasant and relaxing place to arrive and enjoy the first days of our trip. Excellant food, breakfast and dinner, nice and relaxing garden to sit down and read a book.

I have stayed at Willowdale Lodge on numerous occassions over the past three years on business trips. I highly recommend the lodge as it is comfortable with extremely hospitable hosts and tasty food (often cooked using home grown vegetables). The dinners include three courses all of which are really tasty. There is a wide selection of drinks available at the...
