We discovered this beautiful 5-star luxury lodge online about three years ago and have been coming back every year without even considering any place else to stay. We take part in the Elands Valley marathon every year and find the lodge an ideal overnight "resting place". The staff (even the guard at the gate) are always friendly and more than... More

We stayed one night in a spacious room with an extra bedroom in a loft upstairs. The bathroom was open, so there was no privacy, which is not always appropriate. There were no tissues and a couple of the towels were grubby. Dinner in the adjoining restaurant was lovely and breakfast was pleasant. Following my bath in the evening, there... More

We spent one night here to cut the driving time on our way to Kruger park. We booked a large family room (2 adults and two kids) which was located in two floors. The lodge was very modern and in excellent condition. Great views from the high hill. Some have complained on the openness of the rooms (including bathroom) which... More

Francolin is a lovely property. The breakfast is served in a beautiful outdoor setting with a backdrop of lovely views of the city. The grounds are immaculate, the owners and staff are friendly, knowledgeable of things to do in the area, and helpful. Celeste even helped me fix my malfunctioning blackberry. I was there alone on business but told my... More

The Hotel Rooms are clean and Spacious. The garden area and views from both the breakfast area and Restaurant overlooking the city is beautiful. Very quite location and peaceful. Although may would not like the open plan bathrooms and I felt that at least the toilet should have been a bit more private. We views some rooms and the ones... More

Dear Mr and Mrs Minty, Thank you for your review we really appreciate your rating. Francolin Lodge was designed with the upmost attention to detail and the modern design is appreciated and enjoyed by most of our family visitors. Perhaps next time you would prefer to stay at one on the more conventionally designed rooms on the Loerie's Call side.... More

We have stayed at the Francolin Lodge 3 times for long weekends in Nelspruit, and I am sure we'll visit many more times in the future. The location is quiet, with beautiful views over the city, and yet within a quick drive of all places of interest in and around Nelpruit; the rooms are large and beautifully decorated; the staff...
