The weekend at Mahala View was unforgettable and indescribably enjoyable. The rooms are very well furnished with everything one might need. The lions and hyenas that 'chat' all night are extra special.

Incredible atmosphere.
We recently had the privilege of staying at Mahala View Lodge, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, Tanaya did everything possible to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Their warm hospitality and friendly service made us feel right at home. One of the highlights of our stay was the beautiful view from the wooden deck of Lions View 1. With the peaceful landscape in the background, it was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the scenery. Whether it was sipping a cup of coffee in the morning or relaxing while the sun set, the deck created an incredible atmosphere. Mahala View is the ideal getaway for anyone who wants to enjoy excellent service and breathtaking views. We can't wait to visit again!

Only stayed 2 nights for family gathering nearby.
The fridge and plugs were not working when we arrived. The dog rushes in and jumps on the beds. The cat bothers and the door has to be closed all the time because the cat jumps everywhere. We have stayed in guesthouses with much lower prices that are much neater. No coffee or sugar put out. However, the view is excellent from up there. The lodges are obviously quite old and very "rustic".

Reception was very friendly and gave information about the area. The worker is just so friendly. The "Rock Pool" is stunning and the shade net over the ear is a bonus. I can easily recommend it if you like the forest and just want to be quiet.

Friendly and helpful reception.
We were in the King's View mountain cabins. The access road to the cabins is not really meant for a 2X4 or regular sedan. The stairs in the cabin are not comfortable for older people. Maintenance deserves attention, especially the furniture. Game drives with your own vehicle are not permitted. The hiking trail is a pleasant experience. Directions are clear.

Beste David,
Ons het die lodge 'n paar maande oor gevat en het onlangs nuwe beddens ingesit en het begin met die meubel elemente.
Ons het pragtige stap en fiets roetes in die area. Wildsritte kan ook gereel word met die veldwagters in die omgewing of in Dinokeng. Daar is ook 'n wildrit in Dinokeng waar 'n mens mag met sy eie voertui rond ry, net ongelukkig nie in die bewarea spesifiek nie.
Ons waardeer u terugvoer,
Mooi Dag verder.
Groete,

The lions roar, the hyenas laugh and the jackals call. The view is perfect, if you like quiet and rustic with the necessary luxuries, this is the place for you. The staff are hands down the nicest people and we thank them from the bottom of our hearts for everything. It's so nice and close, yet it feels like you're sitting in KNP. Will definitely go back there again. The meeting with the red cat was so special and so were all the other animals, the peacocks, geese, bunnies, nyala etc. I can go on, the list doesn't stop. It is so close to God and so peaceful.

We are easy going people but were not happy with this booking.
It is conveniently close to Dinokeng. There is not much to do on the premises itself especially with 2 young boys. It would be better suited for people who book a group and want to have a party as the hangout area is very nice (pool, bar etc). The beds were unfortunately some of the most uncomfortable I have ever experienced, the double beds should have been replaced a long time ago as the springs pushed through the mattress. The showers were also terribly uncomfortable. My husband is 2m tall and I'm 1.68m, I had to bend down to rinse my hair, so for my husband it was really uncomfortable. I would rather spend a few rand extra and stay in Dinokeng instead next time.

On first arrival excellent view and nice deep in the forest. But when the night came the picture changed a lot with the power that no one came to put on. Would rather stay outside in a tent. then we might have stayed the whole weekend.
The cabin was not cleaned well, cobwebs on the roof. Bathroom light and bedside light not working. There was a hole at the bottom of the wall and the inside was filled with loose, round stones. A mouse came to gnaw on our food at night. Door closes with a string on the inside. Power was out through the night. Reported it at 08:00 Saturday morning and by 11:00 when no one showed up, without being able to make coffee or breakfast, we just packed up and drove home.

Absolute disappointment! For the rates charged any guest would definitely expect more - no value for money!
When we drove into the lodge's gate we were overwhelmed by the absolute neglect and deterioration, gardens unkempt, the reception area receiving guests years ago - the road to the Mountain View Chalets can only be reached with a 4x4, it's true, however, the road is very narrow, our vehicles and the couple who were also there got stuck between the side walls around the corner - the corner is too narrow, the host had to tow them out the next morning. The chalet is quite clean, carpets need a wash, already old, curled up on the sides, bed linen and towels, three out of five. They try to maintain what is still there, curtains need attention, holes in them, sun or fish moths? Definitely not three star quality! Difficulty getting in or out of security gate, no signal at gate to call host/wife. At least have to give credit to the host and wife, tried their best, visited often, and Piet was very helpful. The ash from the braaier is scraped right next to the braaier. The sewage system lacks attention, open and dangerous for children. The owners will definitely have to pay attention to upgrading the place, can't ride the wave of earlier years when the Lion Man was still with us! Rates are too high for what is offered there. We don't have a problem paying, but we are looking for value for our money. We have visited so many lovely places that we booked through the website, but this time, believe me, we hit a boobie! Advice to prospective guests, read all the reviews first.

There are no lions at all as said, terribly steep stairs to where the kitchen and bedroom are. Slept through mattress. Nothing to do at place itself. No shop nearby. But we made the most of it and had a great time.
I have to say the view from the deck is very nice but they really need to look into a little more, like braai, better mattress and that you don't struggle so much to get up and down again with luggage, if you step wrong there you will get badly hurt . And if there was maybe a cafe nearby it would be better. But like I said we had a nice rest.

Place is neglected.
Upon arrival we had to wait a full 30 minutes for someone to unlock. False advertisement that cottages overlook lion cages. Have to drive to another farm and pay R350 pp to see lions. The place is dilapidated and houses are dirty. Cottage for 6 people only has a small fridge with a small freezer compartment. Cottage for 6 also only has cutlery for 3 to 4. I do not recommend Mahala View Lodge in any way and think their prices are far too high for what you get.

Very peaceful weekend in lovely surroundings, the accommodation needs attention, but the surroundings and the lions make up for it.
Leon and the staff were very friendly and helpful at all times. The lions with the kick-in were an absolute winner and amazing to be so close to them and be able to see them all the time in the camp. However, the stay was not what we expected. It is very small and the porch area where we could hang out was very small. Although this is a self-catering unit, there is no space to prepare food, no sink or any crockery to prepare food. It definitely needs a lot of attention to maintenance to get the accommodation up to standard. With a little TLC to the accommodation and living areas together with the view and beautiful surroundings it will surely be a very nice place to spend a weekend away from the city.

It was peaceful and the management was friendly and helpful.
The view was fantastic and it was a peaceful week's stay away from the city noise. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The pool was nice and clean and it was lovely to cool off in it. The braai facilities were neat and clean. The lion talk presented by Leon was very informative and the feeding of the lions was amazing to watch. The game drive was just as interesting as what was offered by Daan and there was a lot of game to see.

Dit was baie rustig. Ons het lekker gerus aangesien dit redelik privaat was.

Very calm. We rested well since it was fairly private.
We really enjoyed it. The kitchen is quite small and you can't really prepare big meals in that space. However, we did have a nice braai and rested well.

Nice relaxing weekend.
We spent the weekend in Kingsview 3. They could consider replacing the double bed mattress as it was too flat. There wasn't enough surface space in the unit to prepare meals. The water pressure from the cold tap was very weak, luckily we could use the hot water tap for brushing our teeth. The deck had a bee nest, so we weren't able to enjoy our morning and afternoon coffee there as the bees bothered us. Apart from these issues, the weekend was really nice. Peaceful area. The educational talk about lions and the feeding session were very insightful. Leon's knowledge about lions is very thorough. Due to the weather we couldn't swim, but the swimming pool area looked really nice. Really appreciated the help with the dishes. Would definitely stay there again, just next time book number 1 so we can have a view of the area from the deck.

It is not value for money
The game drive is a look at other farms on a public road. The lion reading is for children.
