Fabulous
Philippa Davis, South Africa
15 July 2011
Thank you to Peter, Jane and Paul for an absolutely idyllic break in a little piece of bush paradise. From the comfy beds, awesome showers and peaceful surroundings to the hospitality of the Harvey family and the awesome meals, the game drive and the boat trip - everything was perfectly lovely, unpretentious, down to earth and incredibly good value for money. We will be back, time and again.
This place is very nice.

We really enjoyed staying at the Malala lodge. The food was very good. And the rooms were clean and big. We also likes the game drive with Pete, he told us a lot about the animals. We had even to attacks of rhino's. Because of the 340 acres we could nicely walk on their property. Its wonderful to see zebra's, impala so close.
