Needles Lodge


We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Gary and Alta Barltrop were excellent, friendly and attentive hosts. The Lodge is beautifully appointed in a bush environment with close contact with wild animals and birds. It is a good base for the Crocodile Bridge and Malelane gates to the Kruger national Park.

Wow, what a lovely lodge


We stayed there for two days and we will definitely be coming back again. The hosts are very friendly and the small size of the lodge makes one feel like members of the family. The food is great. Enjoyed having breakfast with the warthogs, an experience every one should really cherish.

Nice place.


The tour guide for the Kruger park was also a professional. If we go back to this area in SA we will try to stay again at Needles lodge.

Description



Needles Lodge is an up market lodge that offers six beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with its own character and atmosphere and all the luxuries to ensure a comfortable stay in the bush.

Every room enjoys air-conditioning and is equipped with ceiling fans; bathrooms are en-suite offering extra large baths as well as separate showers.

The décor has been tastefully chosen to ensure that you feel completely relaxed and with all the comforts of home.

With the lounge, dining and entertainment area located in the center of the lodge, the rooms stretch out on either side and are joined by wooden decks that converge on the central deck and patio.

Each room has large sliding doors that open onto a wooden deck and the bush in front of it. From your bed, you can enjoy views of the bush and the numerous animals that regularly frequent the area.

Children are welcome and can be accommodated in their own room.
Please note that all rates are inclusive of dinner, bed and breakfast.

Food:
South Africa is famous for its fine food and wine. In particular, Mmpumalanga, famous for its beef, so you will enjoy some of the best “braais” and roasts in the country.

Gary will be happy to cater to your specific weaknesses so be sure to place your order in advance for some of the most mouthwatering dishes.

The honor bar is available for guests to choose from a full selection of beers, spirits and soft drinks.

Breakfast is served daily but guests may also enjoy lunch or dinner (prepared and served with prior notice) either in the open plan kitchen and dining room or alternatively, outside on the deck under the shade of the giant Marula tree.

Lodge Facilities and Services:
The central lounge and entertainment area at Needles Lodge extends onto a large outside deck surrounding the trunk of a giant Marula tree.

Under the shade of the giant Marula, guests can relax with views of the bush or simply drop into the swimming pool located adjacent to the outside entertainment deck.
