"The lovely gardens and Cape Dutch architecture creats a beautiful and tranquil setting. The rooms were luxurious and very comfortable and the rose petals on the bed a extra special touch. All the meals were outstanding and the friendly and helpful staff made this an unforgettable experience. Seeing that this was a special family celebration all the above contributed to an awesome weekend."

"My husband and I stayed in a Junior Suite for a week. The accommodation is very well layed out and equipped with everything we needed. The suite was serviced daily and very clean."

"I was there for a university if Johannesburg CERT workshop. The place was exceptional. It was beyond my expectations. Loved my stay. Serene, quite and the food was out of this world in terms of taste and variance."

"Our family trip stay at Mangwa Valley Lodge was amazing. Great service from the reception team and the restaurant team. The hospitality is great and would recommend it once again to anyone who wants to relax in the bushes. How ever I wish you could do a paving or tur road to accommodate our small car. This project can be divided amongst the surrounding lodges "

"Beautiful location, wonderful room, excellent breakfast and dinner, Peter and all the staff are very kind and super helpful."

"We stayed at this hotel on 6 April 2026 for one night and it was honestly one of the worst hotel experiences we have ever had. Firstly, the air conditioning in the room did not work at all. The room felt like an oven, making it extremely uncomfortable to stay in, especially after a long day of travelling. To make matters worse, the sliding door could not open, so there was no ventilation whatsoever. The television was not working, and there was no fridge in the room, which is something you would reasonably expect from a hotel. When we asked for ice, we were told we would have to pay R30 just for an ice bucket – unbelievable, considering the R1 678 we paid for the one-night stay. Another issue was that there was no hot water because the geysers in our block was off. This meant we could not even shower. Maintenance came to the room and confirmed all the faults, so these were clearly known issues. Reception then offered to move us to another room, but by that time it was too late – my son had already fallen asleep on the bed without being able to shower after a long day. Overall, this was a horrible experience and extremely disappointing. The room was clearly not properly checked or maintained before guests arrived. We will never book with this hotel again and would strongly advise others to reconsider before staying here."

"The place was very well maintained and in great condition—everything looked clean, cared for, and as described. I felt safe during my entire stay; the building and surrounding area seemed secure and well looked after. Check‑in was smooth, and communication with the host was clear and friendly. Overall, it’s a comfortable and reliable place to stay, and I would happily book it again."
