Dinkweng Safari Lodge

Stunning place.

we were received with a warm welcome when we arrived and found the chalets to be well equiped and clean. it was only when we reported the the tv's in the one chalets not to be working when we 1st experienced some discomfort in the way the manager handled our query, the next day we went to ask for advice on a family restaurant in the town and she was warm. i then concluded that she must have had a bad day the previous day. on the day before we were supposed to check out. we were having drinks and preparing for a braai while the kids were having fun in the spalsh pool, we ran out of ice from the fridge and Hettie(the manager) had informed us when we arrived that we must ask for ice whenever we need more than what the fridge could make. i then drove down to the office with my friend thato and we left a note in her office since we did not find her. there was a storm approaching and i then asked the kids to move the cushions from the outside benches inside and get out of the water. this is when Hettie entered the chalet without knocking and greeting our wives to drop off the ice and continued to shout the kids about the cushions being on the floor. she did later apologise for this, but i was dissapointed in her handling of the situation. i think she needs to improve her handling of guests and staff for this place to provide the 5 star rating it can achieve.

I loved the ambience, peace and quiet. Very ideal when you wanna be away from the rat race. I loved it.

Wonderfully nestled into nature, with great view. Feeling of getting completely away from it all. Lodge is luxurious. Great place to rest.

What a nice quiet place in the mountains. These guys have done it right.
