Samango Lodge.

Ons het heerlik gekuier. Pragtige uitsig van die buite-kombuis. Die eienaars is baie vriendelik en gaan uit hul pad uit om alles gerieflik en na smaak te maak. Dankie nogmaals vir die heerlike slaai wat Karin vir ons gestuur het. Ons het ook n heerlike stappie geneem en die natuurskoon bewonder en as voëlkyker kon ek twee nuwes op my lysie afmerk.

Unpleasant.

On arrival there was no power - no fear. The problem? No back up generator or gas was in place. Not even proper lights, only two paraffin lamps. We left the following morning and there was still no power and the cherry on top is, we had to bath/shower in cold water. This was the most unpleasant stay.

Samango Lodge 's response

Apologies Riaan, we had a municipal power problem at that very time. If I recall we put a gas stove in the Lapa for you to use.

Rustige en romantiese atmosfeer.

Die eienaars van Samango Lodge is dierbare mense en het ons baie goed behandel en seker gemaak als is reg. Dis 'n baie rustige plekkie tussen die bome en het 'n mooi uitsig van boomlewe. Ons het die Samango-apie ook gesien wat besonders is omrede hulle baie skaam is en jy hulle nie sommer sien nie. Sal dit vir enige iemand aanbeveel.

Everything very clean, but advertising photos very deceiving.

Furniture appears like everything that didn't fit in the owner's house, nothing fits together, but the place was very clean and tidy. We were there to rest and we did. The towels were not fresh, we bought new ones to use for the weekend, the mat on the bedside table smelled, but the rest was more than acceptable.
