Tanda Kutula Mountain Lodge

Lovely place in the mountains, great views, clean accommodation, lots of space. Perfect for family holidays.Will definately go back again . The owner Anelette was very helpful and forthcoming with any information that we requested.

If they can do something about the gravel road. Especially after the main gate into the farm. Must be terrible in the rainy season to get up there.

If you looking for a huge farm style house this is your place. Loads of space, and the wonderful Mountain Views were amazing. Kids had a blast while the adults chilled by the fire place or deck.

Small little things here and there but really we couldn’t complain we had such a lovely time. The road there is not the best but it’s what we expected taking into account we were high up the mountains etc.

The location, scenery, house setup, friendly caretaker.

I loved the stunning 360 degree views and the lodge very was excellently equipped and very comfortable. I will be back for a longer stay.

I checked on the distance to Tanda Kutula on Google Maps before booking. However, this was misleading. Google maps gave the distance to the first gate. There was another 40-minute drive from the gate to the lodge.

Our host, Anelette, arranged for all our requirements for dinner as we were travelling by motorcycle. Excellent value for money.

The view is unbelievable. The house is well stocked. Beds are comfortable with awesome views from most of the rooms. Anelette went out of her way to make sure we were happy, even arranging for us to park at her neighbour where our bus picked us up to take us to Mbombela stadium. I would love to go back there in summer with family and mates, go for walks and rides and chill by the pool. James was always around to help - he even started our fire for us :-)

Nothing. Anelette asked us how she could improve and we reported a few very minor things. It’s very good when hosts want feedback so they can make things even more perfect for the next guests.

The property is absolutely beautiful . Fully functional with everything that we needed . The house is so huge with many beds it can easily accommodate over 20 people at a go. I am absolutely shocked at the generosity of the host. Anelette ensured that we had Jacob’s coffee, milk , sugar supplies . The kitchen was refilled with all cleaning supplies and cooking utensils we could think of . Geyser Water was always hot to our liking ❤️ The property is well maintained with nice features. I loved the Boma sitting area. The caretaker cleaned and lit the fire for us every single day . The industrial fridge was a very nice touch . It was very cold and did wonders as the weather was extremely hot. The beds were comfortable and rooms beautifully designed . The pool was nice and clean . The house has random sitting couches everywhere around the house so we never at any point felt squeezed and suffocated because we were a family of 15 . And when we forgot our flask and AirPods , the host ensured she sent them through to us via courier even though she was in Cape Town . Anelette you are a star⭐.

The road leading up to the property is bumpy . No clear and enough signage so it was frustrating. It’s best to travel during the day . You need a high clearance vehicle
