Nice long weekend diving in Sodwana.

Nice owner and the house has all amenities for a self-catering stay.

Enjoyable.

The men had a lovely time. Just on their first day when it was raining, the house was leaking a lot. They had to put towels down for the slippery floors.

Lekker maar nie fantasties nie.

Daar is 'n paar goed wat gepla het. Die stort was onwerkbaar. Die water is of vuurwarm of yskoud. Daar is geen tussengrond nie. Die kombuisgoedere was nie 'n 100% skoon toe ons daar aankom nie en moes oorgewas geword het.

Nice but not fantastic.

There are some things that bothered. The shower was inoperable. The water is either scalding hot or ice cold. There is no middle ground. The kitchenware was not 100% clean when we got there and should have been rewashed.

Generally in order, however had concerns.

The house is spacious and a stunning house to stay in, however, we specifically requested a 4 bedroom house with aircon. Myself, my wife, our children ages 7 and 5 together with my sister and her husband with their teenager of 13 travelled to Sodwana. On day of arrival one of the bedrooms' air con's did not work, we reported it immediately. I also Whatsapped the establishment directly. After 4 days of staying at the house, no one was there to fix the aircon, I then contacted the lodge manager directly and arranged for maintenance to come and have a look. They could only assist us the following day. The next day, a second bedroom's aircon also did not work - this was the main bedroom. When the technician arrived, he confirmed that he will be able to fix the main bedroom's aircon, however the other bedroom for the teenager could not be fixed, he had to order a specific part. Before our departure I contacted the establishment and they confirmed the aircons were services recently. We therefore could not use the fourth bedroom at all and the teenager had to sleep on a mattress with his parents as it is too hot to sleep in a room over December in Sodwana that has no aircon. On numerous occasions I reported the concern to the establishment. The house is stunning and spacious, however we paid for a 4 bedroom house and could only use 3. The aircon in the main bedroom that was fixed, also quite often stopped working and we had to reset it all the time.

Ons het heerlik gebly en sal graag wil terugkeer na Sodwana.

Ons verblyf was gerieflik. Daar was daagliks heeldag 'n huishulp in die huis om dit skoon te maak. Die lodge is veilig en netjies.

Die huis, ja, die woonstel nee.

Huis is baie netjies, maar daar is 'n paar punte wat dringend aandag kort, die braaier se gasbottel was leeg, die lodge se mense kon nie help met gas omdat dit 'n Cadac bottel is, effense probleem as dit die enigste manier van braai is in die lodge. Die kombuis is nie toegerus met braaitange nie, alhoewel daar gesê is, dis ten volle toegerus. Die lugversorger in die leef area het die krag bly afskop, die werkers sê die probleem is al 'n geruime tyd aan die gang. Die lugversorger in die kamer blaas ook warm en daar is geen afstandbeheerder om dit te stel nie, nogal 'n probleem as dit so warm is. Die stort en toilet maak vreeslik lawaai sodra jy dit spoel of die stort aanskakel. Laastens die geraas van die boonste eenheid is rof, hoor elke geluid.

The house, yes, the apartment no.

House is very neat, but there are some points that need urgent attention, the braai's gas bottle was empty, the lodge's people could not help with gas because it is a Cadac bottle, slight problem if it is the only way of braai is in the lodge. The kitchen is not equipped with braai tongs, although it is said to be fully equipped. The air conditioner in the living area kept kicking the power off, the workers say the problem has been going on for some time. The air conditioner in the room also blows hot and there is no remote control to set it, quite a problem when it is so hot. The shower and toilet make terrible noise as soon as you flush them or turn on the shower. Lastly the noise from the top unit is rough, hear every sound.

Lekker plekkie.

Ons het in die woonstel onder huis 45 gebly. Dis 'n oulike plekkie, net 3 klagtes. Bring eerder eie beddegoed. Die lakens en kussings ruik bedompig. Die stort raas ook vreeslik baie as jy dit aansit. As daar baie mense in die eenheid bo jou is, gaan dit raas, want jy kan die voetstappe hoor. Veral as kinders rondhardloop en speel.

Nice place.

We stayed in the apartment below house 45. It's a cute little place, only 3 complaints. Bring your own bedding instead. The sheets and pillows smell musty. The shower also makes an awful lot of noise when you turn it on. If there are a lot of people in the unit above you, it will be noisy because you can hear the footsteps. Especially when children are running around and playing.

Dankie vir die kommentaar, die stort is herstel, die beddegoed was nog altyd skoon en word elke 2de dag geruil, die woonstel is baie gerieflik en ruim en ons skoonaakspan gaan elke dag in om skoon te maak.

Rustige omgewing.

As ek die feit dat die koue water probleem in ag neem, dit was darem uitgesorteer gewees en waardeer dat dit daardie selfde aand gedoen was. Die eenheid is netjies en alles. Die enigste afkeure is: 1) Die mense wat bo in die hoofeenheid gewoon het, het elke oggend omtrent 03/04:00 wakker geword, was seker duikers, maar dit was nie lekker om wakker te word met hul gestappery heeltyd nie. Hul het ook bv. laat in die aand teruggekeer en dis in sulke geval dat die eenheid in my oë nie lekker is, mits mense saam met die mense bo in die eenheid en die onderste deel vir jonger mense of so aan is. Indien daar niemand in die hoofeenheid sou wees, sal dit ook beter wees, maar dis nie noodwendig die Sodwana Bay Lodge House 45 se skuld oor die lawaaierige mense nie. Verder was daar darem ook baie rustiger tye. Dus dis hoe die 2 eenhede is wat bietjie met tye ongerieflik kan wees. Dis ook 'n lang ompad en die houtpaadjie gaan nie tot by die onderste eenheid nie, dus die bagasie is so effens moeilik, veral toe ons moes vertrek, met aankoms was daar hulp, maar teen 'n fooi. Die skoonmaak was ook vir my verrassend dat ons addisioneel daarvoor moes betaal, maar as ek die persoonlike punte eenkant laat, is dit nogtans 'n wonderlike en rustige plek en mooi sonsopkoms geniet. Die eenheid is netjies en alles wat mens benodig is daar so in die opsig sal ek dit ook aanbeveel. Baie dankie en groete.

Peaceful area.

There was a cold water issue but it was sorted out that same evening. The unite is clean and everything. Few things: 1) The people who stayed in the unit above us woke up every morning at about 03:00/04:00, probably because they were divers, but wasn't nice to be woken up by them. They also came home quite late and that's what made our unit not ideal, it would maybe be OK if members of they same party booked both units, or if younger people booked the lower unit. Would also have been better if the upper unite wasn't booked, but that isn't necessarily Sodwana Bay Lodge House 45's fault, not they're fault the people were noisy. Otherwise there were many relaxing times. So that's how the two units can be a bit uncomfortable. Also quite a big detour, the little wooden path don't lead to the bottom unit, so it causes a bit of an issue with luggage, especially when we had to leave, when we arrived some help was available, at a fee. Was also a bit of a surprise that we had to pay extra for the cleaning service, personal points aside, it is still a wonderful and peaceful place and the sunrise was beautiful. Neat unit with everything you need so I would recommend is. Thanks so much.

We had a wonderful stay, the house was very comfortable and spacious.

I think the issue of the TV needs to be clear as arriving without a decoder could be a disappointment, however we took ours with.
