Nice place not to far from Joburg for a getaway. The only complaints that I had was that our room was noisy as it was near a busy road and we waited forever for our food to be served. The rest was great, nice setting, nice rooms, jacuzzi in the room and good service.

We were due to stay at the lodge on the first day of our honeymoon. We paid in full six months in advance for the honymoon suite for 2 nights and 2 airport transfers. This was a large amount of money. We arrived at Jo'burg airport after a 20hr flight expecting a member of staff from the lodge to be... More

Two of us stayed in the chalet rooms for 3 nights, 2 at the start of a tour and one at the end. The chalets are very spacious and nicely layed out. Bathrooms were big and included a jacuzzi and separate shower (always hot). The views over the hills to the west of Jo'burg are lovely and the whole site... More

The Staff are fantastic the facilities are good but they charge R350 to/from Lanseria airport and R500 to/from JoBurg International and the city. Complete rip off and left a bad impression. We were going to stay at the end of our intrepid trip but didn't due to these charges. If you are on a trip with intrepid avoid this place... More

This was probably the strangest hotel experience I've ever had. An hour outside of Joburg, this place was actually very scenic with wooden chalets and rivers and bridges. However, were were in Joburg! The cabins were FREEZING cold at night and there was no tv or clocks or phones so very boring too. Also, we asked for a wake up... More

We had booked for one night prior to an Intrepid safari- and it was the first night of our honeymoon! When booking, we had been informed that all was available were the bedded tents, so we arrived with some trepidation at spending the first night of our honeymoon in a tent in the winter! However, on arrival we easily upgraded... More

After travelling for a few days on our overlander, i wasn't sure what to expect of our campsites. When we arrived at Amadwala it was like a hotel. Beautifully maintained grounds, a lovely large swimming pool right next to the bar, very friendly animals and great accomodation. The staff were super helpful with any request including tours, local amenities, internet... More
