Breathtaking piece of woodland.
Fantastic! The one word sums up Njala Lodge! New cleaning services have been brought in and you can run the place through the ringer! It's a big house with lots to do, from playing pool, table tennis to a swimming pool. There is also DSTV. The kitchen is very well equipped and there are 2 fridges with freezer sections and also a large box freezer. The main house has 3 bedrooms and the 2 wings allow enough privacy, while still being part of the main house. The lapa with braai and boma was a hit every day, where we could sit around the fire until late and kudus, nyalas, warthogs and zebras visited us here.

Ons het 'n derde party wat ons huis skoonmaak en het al voorheen klagtes gekry oor hulle. Ons het hulle kontrak beëindig en vanaf die jaar nuwe skoonmakers aangestel. Dankie dat jy dit aan ons noem, wat alles verkeerd was vir julle. Ons sal aandag gee aan die kwessies!

Had a great time, but disappointed in response to issues.
Many problems with locks. No shredder basket upstairs. No towel rail or hooks in upstairs bathroom. No mirror in upstairs bathroom and only small hand mirror in upstairs bedroom. Also not accessible at all for old people, lots of stairs. Kitchen is well equipped and lapa and swimming pool a nice place to hang out!

Njala Lodge is ideal for large groups of people, but has quite a few flaws!
Njala Lodge is ideal for large groups and everyone has their own privacy, but is not maintained! One of the rooms' shower drains was blocked and because it was the bathroom and rooms under water - we called and a very friendly lady sorted it out immediately the next day. We didn't have hot water to shower after one person showered or to wash dishes and had cold showers for 3 out of 4 days. Something tripped the power and we didn't know that the power tripped because it tripped outside by the pole, we were without power all day the first day because we thought the whole neighborhood was down only to see in the evening that the neighbor did have power and he came to show us where to turn it on, after that the power tripped at least 3 to 4 times a day. We have no idea what it could be because we weren't wearing anything at the time it tripped. Refrigerators didn't get cold either. I would also recommend putting screen wire in front of window we couldn't open windows during the day or night because there is nothing in front of windows to stop mosquitoes or monkeys or any unwanted guests. Because nothing can open the place smelled and felt stuffy. The grill was dirty and the pool definitely lacked chlorine. If the little things are sorted out, especially the power and hot water, Njala Lodge can be a lovely place for large families or friends.

The house was terribly dirty and had bed bugs!
The house is nice and big and spacious, but all of us were full of bite marks! The aircons were a disappointment. I was not aware of the fact that it was not part of the accommodation. If I had known that, I would have considered another place! The water from the showers didn't run out and the shower upstairs didn't even have a shower head!

It was awesome and a very nice place.
I would suggest that they include a cleaning service in the price. It's not a terribly nice ending if you have to clean everything before you have to be out by 10:00. This therefore means that one loses half of the Sunday. We go to Marloth regularly and understand that most places work this way. I would rather pay R250 more with love.

Thank you very much for a wonderful visit. Everything we needed was there. House is beautiful and kitchen has everything one needs. I just think they might need to update the furniture a bit. Service was great, had no problem with the deposit refund. The owner and the caretaker were friendly and helpful. Will definitely go again.

Wonderful, in the bush with Africa's wildlife on your doorstep.
It was great. The house was big enough with enough sleeping space for 14 people. Everything is nice and spacious with everything you need. We spent a lot of time around the fire and socializing. And every now and then the zebras and the kudus etc surprise. you to come and eat something. We were able to get them out of hand. Don't even need to go to Kruger National Park. We heard lions roar. Was a fantastic long weekend.

Spacious house, small pool, a bit neglected.
The house is perfect for many people, many bathrooms, but the contents are neglected, the carpets stink, the creepy in pool is broken, pool was green, and also more of a splash pool, very small. Only two rooms have aircon, the heat didn't bother us much, because we had nice weather, it wasn't very hot. But the upstairs lounge area was still hot, so lacks an aircon. If they want to ask for a key deposit, I would say someone should go through the house together, how do you determine what was broken versus what is broken now? We also sat without water for a full day and night, there is a yojo tank but is empty, would suggest they look into this, caused great inconvenience. Overall, the weekend was very nice, except for the above. The animals came to the house. The house is also very private.

Family gathering.
Outline very good. Plenty of space and privacy. Loose chairs and a table in the lapa would have been more convenient. Too hot in the upper recreation area, could not use it, an air conditioner there is a must. Lovely pool and well equipped kitchen. Refrigerators and freezers could not win the battle against the heat. Still, would recommend it.

On arrival we paid R500 deposit which will be refunded after 48 hours if nothing is broken but no receipt received. Asked lady for receipt, but apparently they do not give receipts so no proof that money was paid. They must please inform guests to bring their own towels.

Unfortunately, a lot of things were not in place.
The house was not 100% clean. The blinds in the washing area and in one of the rooms were broken. The faucet in the kitchen leaked and the water sprayed out if you opened it too wide (my little brother fixed it). The one sink in the kitchen's plug is broken. The fans in 2 of the rooms are not working. The DSTV wasn't working, but they came to fix it. The large freezer does not freeze well. We bathed/showered in cold water every night.

Good value for money, facilities quite basic but clean and tidy.
The house was nice and spacious and we really enjoyed the animals that came to eat nearby. Some of the beds were quite uncomfortable. The small bedroom upstairs was very cramped, the bed uncomfortable and not firm. The upstairs bathroom has no towel rails, no shelves for toiletries and no mirror either, which made it uncomfortable. Otherwise we really enjoyed the games room, pool and space. Overall good stay

We have stayed at several houses in Marloth for the weekend, but this one is definitely the best. It meets the highest standards. Beautifully located in the woods and we were visited by quite a lot of animals. The owners really put a lot of effort into houses for the night monkeys and a place to feed the animals. Overall really the best value for money and we will definitely want to visit many more times.
