Comfortable, spacious and secure.

The place has beautiful surroundings and is conveniently located. Rooms are very spacious with a country feel. Secure parking right next to the chalet. Staff are welcoming and helpful.

Goed genoeg vir oorslaap.

Ons het chalets bespreek en is toe oorgeskuif na gastekamers. Die kamer het slaapplek vir 2 persone, maar slegs 1 stoel op die stoep. Maak asb. die warmwater stortkraan vas sodat jy nie met die kraan in jou hand staan wanneer jy die warmwater oopmaak nie.

Good enough for an overnight stay.

We booked chalets and were then moved to guest rooms. The room has sleeping space for 2 people, but only 1 chair on the veranda. Please make fix the hot water shower tap so that you are not standing with the tap in your hand when you turn on the hot water.

Disappointing.

Very disappointing. Fridge not on and no ice trays or water in it. Difficult to get in as the number on the board did not exist. Manager very friendly but too casual.

Stunning location with views over the giant baobab!

Perfect stop over on our way to Zimbabwe, despite load shedding we had a beautiful evening and slept well and strong again the next day for our trip north!

Die area is lekker rustig en veilig.

Dit is naby die dorp en tog voel dit diep in die bos.

The area is nice and quiet and safe.

It is close to town and yet feels deep in the woods.

Rustige huis in 'n mooi, netjiese tuin.

Die lodge was maklik om te kry en het alles wat ons benodig het. Die tuin is pragtig is daar is baie voëltjies. Die sonsondergange is pragtig.

Restful.

The bathroom is not quite up to the standard we expected - Hand shower in Bath. No TV - does advertise that there is TV.

Was baie gerieflik en ontspannend na 'n harde dag se werk.

Ek was daar as gevolg van werk, maar sal dit definitief aanbeveel vir 'n wegbreek vir lekker ontspanning in die natuurskoon.

Ilala Lodge was a beautiful icon of yesteryear

Ilala Lodge is a property that has been kept tidy and neat, the chalets are very amenable and comfy , being a self catering unit it is fine - however the signs of covid-19 fallout are very obvious in that the main buildings are now requiring maintenance and with the obvious lack of trade things are slow to a point of one or two guests. The dining room looks like a Grande old dame who is now a shell of what was. It is our wish for the owners to be able to pick up and get the Lodge back to what it was.

ILala Country Lodge 's response

Grasdakke word tans oorgedek. Die swembad is periodiek groen agv die ongelooflike baie swaar weer wat die afgelope tyd ervaar is. Soos almal in die bedryf het ons 'n baie moeilike jaar beleef.
Boonop is die mede eienaar, Hans, verlede jaar oorlede.
Wees egter verseker dat ons alles in ons vermoë doen om steeds 'n goeie diens aan ons gaste te lewer.
Vriendelike groete
Essie Henrico.

Die verblyf was lekker en rustig alhoewel die plek baie ernstige aandag nodig het.

Daar word gesê dat daar 'n swembad is en dat mens sit kan gebruik, maar helaas is die swembad vuil en kan mens nie swem nie. Braaier kort aandag asook die grasdakke.

Translate to English.

The stay was nice and peaceful although the place needs some serious attention.

It is said that there is a swimming pool and that one can use it sitting, but unfortunately the pool is dirty and one cannot swim. Braai needs attention as well as the grass roofs.

Goeie dag Jan,
Die laat, sterk, winde maak dit onmoontlik om die swembad skoon te hou. Dit is n onbegonne taak om al die blare uit die swembad te haal, voor die volgende klomp inwaai. Ons lodge is gelee in die mopanie bosveld en is omring deur bosveldbome.
Die herstel van die grasdakke, wat geweldig duur is, is in ons beplanning vir volgende jaar.

Die oorslaap was goed.

Vriendelike ontvangs gekry van Essie en die ontbyt was heerlik. Pragtige uitsig - veral om die Baobabbome te sien! Heerlik veilig geslaap.

The surroundings are beautiful and the accommodation okay. We have stayed at many other places that were better and cheaper.

A bit disappointing. We are sure that when they started it was very beautiful. It now looks old, a bit neglected and in need of attention. The hostess received us when we arrived and we did not see anyone again until we left. No one came to ask if everything was okay or if we might need anything. There were an awful lot of mosquitoes and from 15:00 in the afternoon you couldn't sit outside without being almost carried away by them. Not our best stay.

Heerlik, stil en rustig!

Die verblyf was skoon en netjies. Daar is alles in die huisie wat jy nodig het. Die area is rustig en stil. Ons kon werklik ontspan. Die eienaars is vriendelike en help waar hul kan om jou verblyf heerlik te maak.
