Goeie waarde vir geld.

Good value for money.
Excellent location, nice area, friendly and professional. My second time staying there and definitely not the last. I'm in love with nature, there are little monkeys in the trees. Quiet for those who want to get away from the city's noise. My room pleasantly surprised me and seemed bigger to me than it was in the photos.

Great stay, thank you.
We had a great stay, thank you, and it was a very spacious place. The room with the single beds that become one big bed just needs to be replaced, because they sleep a bit badly. But other than that, everything was lovely, and we had a great stay, thank you.

Just overnight.
Cycasia Lodge 's response
Hi Robert,
We do not have a reception at the property and you should have received a contact number to phone when you were close by so that we can be there when required. If it was a check-in after normal office hours. Our office is outside the gate. Our cheaper rooms are small with all your basic needs, to accommodate those that need a cleanroom less than 2 days and are on a tight small budget We have other units which are only R60 different in the price we, however, require a minimum stay of 2 nights or 5 in the holiday season.
Sorry, you had to wait at the gate, but at least we know it is secure.
Regards.
Gill

Comfortable, tidy with beautiful gardens and pool area.
We had a very nice stay. I would especially recommend it for large groups. So that you at least book the house with the "honeymoon suite" and the apartment together. Place was pleasant but not always the guests.

Dankie Karen sorry the guests in the house were a bit noisy. Luckily they were only there for 2 nights of your stay. I do try to keep these groups to a minimum when the lodge is full, but they were the first to book sadly. Have a great new year. Regards Gill

Great seaside holiday accommodation at Umzumbe.
It's the ideal place to relax, no TV, no WiFi, good cell phone reception. Close enough to the sea, but not walking distance. Nice and quiet around a massive large yard. Can host up to 30 people on site.

Quiet area, kitchen crockery, stove and braai facilities definitely need an upgrade.
The photos look much better than the reality, but it's also no cover for parking.

Cycasia Lodge 's response
Hi Jaco, Please point these items out to us when your are there so we can ensure all is rectified. There are a few portable braais available. Cleaning is an additional charge on a daily basis, as advertised, should you have needed it. I must admit I was not happy that your dogs were left inside the unit after we had specifically fenced off the garden area for your stay. We are always open to comments that can improve what we offer our guests. I was not made aware of any problems when I visited you on site, as I can assure you it would have been remedied. We do not advertise covered parking, it is all off street parking and very close to your unit. Regards Gill and Steve

The accommodation is basic. It's rough and ready.
Cycasia Lodge 's response
Hi, I am so very sorry that you had this experience. Not sure which room you were in. We don't have a major fence around the property to allow the freedom of local wildlife, but the accommodation is well secured and fenced. We are upgrading all the time, but will speak to by cleaning staff. Again sorry that you did not enjoy your stay, you are one of the few who has ever made a comment such as this.
Regards,
Gill

Turned around and drove. Not stayed. Drive out on a dirt road in the woods. Owners do not live on the premises. Have to call someone to come and unlock the gates. We drove before he came because he wasn't there at the agreed time anyway. Money thrown into the water. Had to find other accommodation over a long weekend.
Think twice about this one. Actually wouldn't even want to give one star.
