Shanduka Country Lodge

Cleanliness and comfort

Nothing

Wow, Venda, what a beautiful place! I was captivated by the energy and joy of the people. I was in awe of how people carry themselves with respect, calmness, and a strong sense of family and community. The greenery was breathtaking. What stood out to me the most was the powerful combination of cultural values, community, tradition, and spirituality, which also shaped the space. I thoroughly enjoyed myself, felts safe and happy, especially with the warm staff Miri and Rosemary.

I hope in the future there could be more TV channels especially for football nights, recommendations of what to do in the area if visiting.

The atmosphere was remarkably peaceful, and the rooms were impeccably clean, creating a truly inviting environment.

One of the rooms I stayed in didn't have a door handle. The rooms lacked dustbins, with only one out of the two rooms having a small bin that was insufficient. Additionally, the shower in Room 8 didn't have a door, and the fridge was not functioning. The rooms only had one towel, which was not sufficient for two people. There was no microwave in either room and not enough tea supplies. There weren't enough power outlets to charge our phones, and the DSTV was also not working. We had to request the Wi-Fi password instead of being provided with it in the rooms. Furthermore, the main gate was operated manually, requiring us to open it ourselves or call the receptionist for assistance.

Location was good

There were no dustbins in the room, we only had one towel, the open shower situation does not really work, there are no mats in the bathroom so after showing you step on top on water. There were only 2 pillows in the room. The are no coffee facilities in the room and the kitchen where you can make tea is not well kept. The key was not working and they had to break in in order for us to use the room

Air con, price

Old towels with visible torn marks. One towel per double room. Very limited coffee, unfriendly caretaker,
