Rooms were very cold at night. The gaps between decking boards on floor let alot of cold air in. Heated blanket helped. Did not see many animals on estate.

Beautiful location. Staff friendly. Close to airport.

The dinner on Friday was really nice. But the Saturday breakfast and dinner was a bit disappointing. Try to have a variety for breakfast especially fruits and soft drinks. Not all of us drink orange juice. Then the Boma night, the meat was not well spiced we had to add salt on our food which is not good. Drumsticks would have been better! In closing please try to improve on the kitchen side..

The place is amazing

I liked my room. The cleanines of the rooms, the smell. Everything was just superb and wonderful. The food was wonderful. The workers there were kind, helpful super grateful to have met them. A home away from home. Ndhula Luxury tented Lodge is the place to be. I really enjoyed my stay there. Cant wait to come back again.

No signage outside the estate gate! - which leads one to question the correct directions. We needed the security guard to assure us that it was the right location.

A peaceful location in White River run by very pleasant staff. The tents were equipped perfectly for a nights stay - with the heater turned on for our arrival on a cold evening.

Unfortunately we didn't see any animals near our room but it cannot be guaranteed. And we would recommend for the spa, a better experience (with some warm water or tea at the end) + a thicker blancket when the sun goes down. It can be quiet chilly... The gate to the kruger park is more than 1h from the lodge so it can be a waste of time if you dont arrive there by sunrise to see a maximum of animals...

It is located in a private reserve, a little gem where you can see wild animals (ostrich, kudu, giraffes...) The staff is really nice and will always help you out, there was a pb with my spa reservation and they solved it in a short time :) The view from our room is breathtaking at sunset. And very comfy :) We loved the diner, it was refined with quality ingredients.

The staff are great and friendly. The dinner outside by the fire was really nice as well as a good breakfast the next morning. Everyone there really tries to make your stay enjoyable.

A Truly Exceptional Experience at Ndhula Lodge! We had an absolutely amazing time at Ndhula Lodge! From the moment we arrived, the warmth and professionalism of the staff made us feel right at home. A special shoutout to Nathan, Sarah, Thando, and the incredibly talented chef—each of them went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. Their friendliness, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality were truly exceptional. The lodge itself is of top-class standard—beautifully maintained, serene, and surrounded by breathtaking scenery. A highlight of our trip was the scenic drive with Derrick, who was not only kind and patient but also impressively knowledgeable about the area. His insights added so much depth to our experience. We left Ndhula Lodge with full hearts and unforgettable memories. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a luxurious and welcoming getaway in nature!

Everything about the place was exceptional. And the food wow even the staff there they made sure we enjoyed our stay there. We even got free massage because we booked for 3 days👌

All was great

Everything. Staff were friendly, helpful and courteous. Very clean. A special mention to 'penguin', who gives marvellous massages. I advise anyone to make sure you get a massage with her. Great seeing the animals wandering around, saw two giraffes wandering around early morning too. Lovely place would definitely recommend to anyone. Only about 15-20 mins from Nelspruit and most tours will come there to pick you up. Food was lovely.

The gravel road from parking to the reception Maybe something to look at, but not a train smash

The limited hot water 😭 the pain of showering with cold water on a cold winter’s morning and evening. The bed was pretty stiff.

I loved the friendly staff. They went above and beyond. The delicious , hearty meals. Our room had the best view of the sunrise over the mountains in the northeast. The spa treatment was really nice as well. The location is ideal for its proximity to Mbombela, whilst giving you access to the Kruger as well as the Sabie

The Tents do not have wifi, only at the reception and dining area. The walk from the parking area to your tent can be a problem when you have to carry your luggage over the dirt road.

It was our first experience with Luxury Tented Lodges and we enjoyed the experience. Be prepared, it can be very cold, but worth the experience. All staff were just fantastic. The food was exceptional.

I was not lucky as twice the guests in the tent 14 made noise taking a shower at 1h20 in the morning and an argument errupted at 5h20 on another day but this is unfortunately the clients that no one may control.

I appreciated the care of the staff, the tent which was offering enough space for feeling at ease staying in when the day was cold. I indulged into the meals proposed and appreciated the evenings in the boma next to the fire with great company. The massage at the spa was also a beautiful experience, quiet aborbing the light of the bush. The hiking trails are well managed and offer amazing views.

The tranquility

The hiking trails need better directional signage. Overall it was a nice and challenging one.

The peaceful serenity of the place, it was good for recharging after a stressful work and personal season. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The activities, including the outdoor spa and the sunset drive, were the highlights for my trip.

The cleaning staff in the morning were a bit loud and there is Noone to monitor the noise levels from other tents during the night. The guests in the tent next to us were playing music loudly the whole night . Luckily we were checking out the following day.

The stay was lovely and memorable. We loved everything about our stay. A special compliment to Thabiso and Nathan for their spectacular hospitality, and kindness.

Only negative is noise from surrounding houses or homes outside the lodge area. Noise certainly travels.

Great tented accommodation in very special surroundings. Close interaction (while walking) with the giraffes was very special. Saturday boma braai was great. Staff all round so well trained and friendly.
