• Esther (9/5): Wonderful, comfortable stay with excellent security and a very supportive host. - I had an excellent stay at ANKA Lodge the place was calm, comfortable, and exactly as shown in the pictures , which was very reassuring. The host was incredibly supportive from the moment of pick-up through to settling in, making the whole experience smooth and welcoming. The location was also very convenient, being close to a shopping mall and making it easy to move around to anywhere you need. Security was excellent, which made the stay even more comfortable and worry-free. A lovely stay overall, and I would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and reliable place to stay. Nothing at all, i loved everything
• Guilherme (10/5): - Anka Lodge is located in a great spot, very close to supermarkets, cafes, pharmacies, and Melrose Arch. Kate and her family were extremely welcoming and helpful; Kate is a lovely person and helped me a lot in solving some problems. Our children had a lot of fun playing football together! Nothing.
• Ilze (10/5): -
• Jefferson (10/5): - O lugar é lindo, bem localizado, cama e chuveiro deliciosos e a simpatia dos anfitriões
• Kuda (10/5): Wonderful getaway which I highly recommend - Peaceful, tranquil environment. Well maintained swimming pool surrounded by natural beautiful vegetation. Secure premises. A wonderful home away from home. Katherine is an amazing host who ensures that everything is as per your expectations and beyond. Excellent staff. The property is close to shops/malls and I even got my car valeted at a nearby car wash. Close to beautiful golf courses and I managed to squeeze in two rounds at The Wanderers Golf Club. The apartments are spacious and well equipped. Nothing
• Benjamin2222 (10/5): - Everything perfect. Couldn't be better. I totally recommend this place! Katherine is so friendly and it feels like staying at your family's house :)
• Margo (10/5): Great - It was a lovely stay
• Declan (7/5): A fuss-free and comfortable place to stay. - Anka Lodge is centrally located with easy access to Sandton and surrounding areas. Our host Katherine was very accommodating and helpful. We enjoyed the views of the beautiful garden from our unit. It was a pity that the swimming pool was not usable. Notifying guests beforehand would be recommended.

• Oscar (10/5): -
• Allan (10/5): Katherine is an amazing hostess, who really cares about her guests. - ANKA Lodge is a great place to stay. The room is huge and comes with a kitchenette. Katherine, the owner, was so accommodating. We had to leave early for a tour on our last day and she allowed us to keep our baggage in the room until we returned. There is a small shopping mall within walking distance that has a market, drugstore, and restaurants. While it is situated a little bit away from the action, it was nothing that a short inexpensive Uber ride couldn’t take care of. This is a very small property with only six rooms so you will get plenty of personal attention and you’re every need will be taken care of. There was nothing not to like.
• Ruben (10/5): Exceptional - Really friendly host, beautiful gardens and exactly as described, thank you.
• Mak (9/5): Anka lodge, a perfect home away from home. - It was just a perfect home away from home and an extra bed was brought in to qccomodate my toddler which was grear. Spacious bachelor unit with all that we needed and we were close to all shops you could think of, easy in and out access and amazing location. Host was polite and gave us space to feel home which is a rare find with bookings lately. Loved it! Definately coming back!
• Duma (6/5): Pleasant -

• Michelle (8/5): Very good - Comfortable bed Gracious host Good location No electricity- power outage during our stay
• Auri (8/5): Very good - Very spacious room with all the basic amenities. No air conditioner, so one has to open windows/doors for ventilation, but this option was not conducive for me given it is on the ground floor. There is a fan though, so not too bad. Extra towels could have been nice, but the host provided them as soon as I asked.

• Edwin (9/5): Superb -
• Pranesh (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jabulani (9/5): Overall it was great. Kathrine was helpful and very kind. - I missed breakfast, I'm not sure if it was included? 🍳😂. Anyway, I wanted to follow up on the prompted or suggested question. I thoroughly enjoyed the openness of the room, it's quite spacious! The lodge is incredibly peaceful, and I appreciated the hosts' respect for our privacy - they struck the perfect balance between being available and giving us space. Thank you so much for everything! The TV was tiny! 😂 But I understand, I'm used to mine. I didn't get a chance to fully explore the channels, but it seems to be a non-DSTV subscription - possibly Openview? Please correct me if I'm wrong! Additionally, I experienced some WiFi issues on the first day, my laptop has never had a problem before, but my phone was connected uninterrupted. Katherine mentioned that some guests with iPhones and MacBooks often struggle and have to restart several times to connect. So, you may want to check with the service provider to resolve the WiFi issue. On a positive note, Katherine was extremely helpful and provided me with alternative WiFi passwords to connect to nearby networks. Her assistance was greatly appreciated!

• Romeo (9/5): Superb - I liked the quietness and the surroundings of the place Invasion of space. When we left the place to go to the shops, one of the staff would enter the place without our consent. Very uncomfortable and creepy. When one goes on a holiday, you go for peace and privacy and that should be respected.
