Ideal for when you just need to recharge after a long ride. The whole atmosphere of Gecko Lodge and the people made us forget for a moment that we were actually there for work purposes. The most relaxing lodge I have ever stayed in for a quick overnight stay.

Ideal vir wanneer jy net moet herlaai na 'n lang rit. Die hele atmosfeer van Gecko Lodge en die mense het ons vir 'n oomblik laat vergeet ons was eintlik daar vir werksdoeleindes. Die mees ontspannende lodge waar ek nog oorgebly het vir 'n vinnige oornag.

No air cooling. Cute little place, but no air conditioning in rooms. In the low-veld heat it is unbearable and we therefore went looking for alternative accommodation. I just feel they should mention it as a customer book, because then I definitely wouldn't have booked there, and on top of that I wouldn't have lost/forfeited R1770. Because had to pay R2800 for alternative accommodation.

Geen lugverkoeling. Oulike plekkie, maar geen lugverkoeling in kamers. In die laeveld-hitte is dit onuithoudbaar en ons het dus alternatiewe akkommodasie gaan soek. Ek voel net hul moet dit noem as kliënte boek, want dan sou ek definitief nie daar geboek het nie, en nog boonop R1770 verloor/verbeur het nie. Want moes R2800 betaal vir alternatiewe akkommodasie.

Dear Noleen Thank-you for the review, it is always lovely when guests leave a review and it was lovely to read that we have a sweet place. It is a pity that you had to leave due to no aircon in your room, but I thank you for telling me upon checking out that it was not our fault as you had not read the amenities in the Lodges description. Booking online, all relevant information is on the website for persons to see and if there is something not there, then it must mean that we do not have it and clients are more than welcome to enquire before booking. We wish you many more safe travels ahead.

Liewe Noleen Dankie vir die resensie, dit is altyd lekker as gaste 'n resensie gee en dit was heerlik om te lees dat ons 'n lieflike plek het. Dit is jammer dat jy moes vertrek as gevolg van geen lugversorging in jou kamer nie, maar ek bedank jou dat jy my by die uitklok vertel het dat dit nie ons skuld was nie aangesien jy nie die geriewe in die Lodges beskrywing gelees het nie. Bespreking aanlyn, alle relevante inligting is op die webwerf vir persone om te sien en as daar iets nie daar is nie, dan moet dit beteken dat ons dit nie het nie en kliënte is meer as welkom om navraag te doen voor bespreking. Ons wens jou nog baie veilige reise toe.

An unforgettable experience in a fairytale lodge, located in a beautiful forest. We were spoiled with delicious breakfast and top chef dinner by the fireplace, friendly personal service and hospitality, beautiful surroundings, excellent room service, the unforgettable experience of the night sounds that the beautiful forest brings and the peace of mind that we were always protected. Truly our "go-to place" in the Lowveld! For sure delicious!

'n Onvergeetlike ervaring in 'n sprokiesmooie lodge, geleë in 'n pragtige woud. Ons was bederf met heerlike ontbyt en top-sjef aandete by kaggelvuur, vriendelike persoonlike diens en gasvryheid, pragtige omgewing, uitstekende kamerdiens, die onvergeetlike ervaring van die naggeluide wat die pragtige woud bring en die gemoedsrus dat ons altyd beveilig was. Voorwaar ons "go-to place" in die Laeveld! Vir seker heerlik gerus!

An unforgettable experience. It's as if calm descends upon you. It's peaceful and very beautiful and a place where you can just relax. The service was excellent.

'n Onvergeetlike ondervinding. Dit is asof kalmte oor jou neersak. Dis rustig en baie mooi en 'n plek waar mens net kan ontspan. Die diens was uitstekend.

Very nice with beautiful gardens, but the lodge itself is dilapidated and does not look like the photos. We were greeted by a security guard and had to wait about 15 min for someone from reception to come help us. We booked a double room but got a room with two single beds, they then moved us to a room that was completely run down. The wall where the TV should have been there were only cables and there were cigarette butts all over the front of the room, we really didn't feel at home. They also promised us breakfast packs which we never received. Disappointed in our experience as the place has incredible potential and could be really beautiful.

Baie mooi met pragtige tuine, maar die lodge self is vervalle en lyk nie soos die foto's nie. Ons is gegroet deur 'n sekuriteitswag en moes omtrent 15 min wag vir iemand van ontvangs om ons te kom help. Ons het 'n dubbelkamer bespreek maar het 'n kamer gekry met twee enkelbeddens, hulle het ons toe geskuif na 'n kamer wat heeltemal vervalle was. Die muur waar die TV moes wees was daar net kabels en daar was sigaretstompies oral voor die kamer, ons het regtig nie tuis gevoel nie. Hulle het ons ook ontbytpakkies belowe wat ons nooit ontvang het nie. Teleurgesteld in ons ervaring want die plek het ongelooflike potensiaal en kan regtig mooi wees.

It was okay. The lodge could use some remodeling, fumigation and air conditioning as there are just fans there and it's very hot in summer. The breakfast was good and the dining hall staff was very friendly and helpful all the time. Location is perfect but the road leading to the lodge is not recommended for small cars especially after it has rained.

It was very nice. Beautiful garden, nice, well appointed rooms. Very nice food, good friendly staff. Gecko Lodge was beyond expectation. Very quiet area, nice and central to all the tourist attractions in the area.

Dit was baie lekker. Pragtige tuin, mooi, goed ingerigte kamers. Baie lekker kos, goeie vriendelike personeel. Gecko Lodge was bo verwagting. Baie stil area, lekker sentraal van al die toeriste-aantreklikhede in die omtrek.
