Gecko Lodge and Cottage, Mabalingwe

The chef who prepared the breakfast was exceptional and made a scrumptious breakfast. The bedding was fresh and clean. The location of the property is stunning.

The property itself needs maintenance, interior as well as exterior. The showers were not properly cleaned and cobwebs and mildew still visible.

Absolutely loved the sun set and rise with such a gorgeous view. We loved both the communal space and also the privacy it offered.

Some of the smaller parts of the house needs some attention. Like doors and windows seem dated but didn’t affect our stay at all.

The entire house is so Spacious! The view is beautiful, and the roaring of the lions was the cherry on top! Lynette was very friendly and helpful during our stay.

views were exceptional .

property needs plenty of maintenance and repairs.

Mabalingwe is great! The area is beautiful. The house it self was lacking maintenance. Stove/oven not working. Something wrong with the electricity connection. Bathrooms not up to standard. Bedding was clean and comfortable. Service from the host was great and helpful in all regards

The view, volume of people that could be accomodated.

The mattresses were stained and dirty. The rubbish area could nor be secured from the monkeys, the Fan in the main house was not working, no working backup lights for load shedding. Electrical problems with the stove, also creating current that shocked when touching the dishwasher. Showers heads dirty not allowing enough water through. No power points in the loft. Pool braai facility broken and had to stack loose bricks to make it work. Indoor braai area leaks water and smells musty as well as the bottom bedroom. Room 4 had no entrance from the pool area that opened.
