The property was amazing 10/10 better than the picture on the internet.
The fact that when I was booking i thought I was gonna get a property with a Jaccuzi
Everything was perfect from the room, breakfast, lunch, dinner and activities. The spa was the best 🥰
Nothing everything was perfect the staff everything was 150/100
The place is beautiful, you get connected with nature. The animals are roaming around freely. Very peaceful
Everything about this place was amazing, the facilities, the room, the restaurant everything!! more especially the staff they are very friendly and helpful.
Mologa lodge is the best place I have ever visited, connecting to the nature and mind resetting. Not far from Gauteng, very quiet, staff was amazing, Naomi, John, Uncle quad biking and Andre such a lovely people. the room was very clean and big enough. Had an opportunity to meet with the owner such a sweet young lady and open minded. Had fun with their activities quad biking and game drive. Highlight sun set view was great. Loved everything including taking a walk, the massage spa is located at the top of the mountain with a great view. our room was very quiet with and facing a river, the sound of the water flowing in the river was just peaceful and mind refreshing.
Maybe more options on breakfast.
Everything, room looks recently upgraded, bed soft, jacuzzi warm, bathroom looks beautifull. There is peace and quietness, breakfast and dinner was delicious. Our waiter was so helpful , patient and friendly. Adrie the gentlemen who drove us to the game drive was friendly and entertaining. Enjoyed every moment.

The food was amazing, I would be going back for the wings. Going there you will definitely need an SUV car. I loved my room. it was clean and neat.

Everything especially the food, staff are friendly and warm. KP made everything seamless in the restaurant, Ntate Matthew with the game drive was amazing, Naome is such a lovely person to welcome guests and not forgetting Lawrence at the restaurant as well for adding to our wonderful experience. The chef is really Michelin star worthy.
I wish they add washing stuff holders, not everyone uses what the provide so when we come with our stuff there’s no place to put them on in the shower. Still lovely though.
It all was great and delicious but it would be great if we hade more choices of the menus for breakfast lunch and dinner not a set breakfast lunch and dinner because u get just that 3 or 4 tings to choose from every morning and lunch
The venue and room are amazing but the bed is a bit hard and stiff its like ure lying on a bord with a thin layer of sponge get a softer bed and I promise you will have a great place
The place is beautiful, the views are great, the rooms are clean and decorated beautifully. The food at the restaurant is nice and the staff at the restaurant is friendly.
There's a 5km gravel road from the gate to the accommodation. It is in very bad condition. There are big angular rocks all over. I drive a sedan and it was so painful hearing the bottom of my car getting scraped and scratched as I drove along. I called them to ask for assistance but they just blew me off. By the time I got to reception my blood was boiling because they should have said on the website that the road is only suitable for bakkies and SUVs. I would have made arrangements. Soleta was very rude and patronising. When I complained about my experience she pointed her finger at me and rolled her eyes. It set the tone for my whole stay. I was furious. She sent a bottle of JC le Roux to my room as an apology but the damage was done. The level of disrespect was incredible. The unit I booked had a hot tub. When I asked them to turn on the hot tub for me they agreed but said it would take 4 to 6 hours to warm up. Why didn't they call and ask if they can turn it on in advance because they knew the room was booked? There was a fire pit but I had to call reception for firewood and they told me they don't light fires after dinner time. Why didn't they tell me that before dinner time? It's winter, it's cold, it's like I had to call and beg and beg to use the amenities. They came to eventually turn the fire on. It's like being a guest there is a huge inconvenience for them. In the morning we had to bath with lukewarm water. Again, in winter. I went there for a relaxing weekend away and came back home furious. This trip was a waste of my hard earned money. I expected much better service considering how expensive the accommodation is. I'd never come back.
This was the best bush life ever
I love everything about that place
The location is beautiful and amazing and the food delicious and appetising, and the waiter Lawrence was amazing
Tolles Haus direkt am Fluss mit großem Badezimmer,frei stehende Badewanne und einer Außendusche. Sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Restaurant mit äußert zuvorkommendem Personal. Toller Game Drive.
Just beautiful and serene here!

THE ROAD IS BAD
The quiteness, staff friendliness and overall serenity
The breakfast was amazing , I loved that they had a complimentary starter before the main breakfast . I loved the fruits,the granola and pastry . Loved loved it so much. Everything meal I ate there was delicious including their cocktails 😭I love me a place that makes good margaritas 🥳
Us not being allowed to come with alcohol without paying for it 😅😭I mean I understand that’s how they make money but I wish there was a way we could work on that ,one bottle wouldn’t hurt 😅
Serenity
Perfect retreat. The quiet, the river and the amazing game. It’s still new and the facility is world class 👌🏾. Great vision.
May need carports or covers.
The food
Hot water runs out quickly in the showers
Everything about the place. The food, Spa, game drive. The room was very neat and staff friendly😍
Nothing
Great scenery and value for money
The receptionist was extremely rude. Took her own time to check us in. Didn’t take the key to the chalet,she had to go bak to the reception to get the key. Check out- when we arrived- was told that we need to wait for housekeeping to check if no items were removed from the chalet

I love the location from Gauteng. I also loved the service it was exceptional 👏 The food was great. The views of the river were great.
They did not have blankets for the beds as well as throw blankets. The jacuzzi did not work.
Excellent rooms and facilities, perfect location to relax and also do some fishing
Only one thing, the ribeye steak ordered was like rubber, I did not finish the meal. Although subsequent burger and breakfast the following days were excellent.
Their food was so delicious. And our host Katlego was a great host for the weekend and Andre. They made sure we enjoyed our stay.
The rhinos that were out at night made my stay very uncomfortable. The massage wasn’t worth my moneys the game drive we only saw the giraffe .
the place is beautiful, the staff is very friendly and very welcoming, they made us feel at home. from management, the receptionist, the dining (waiters and kitchen excellent!!) up to the general workers.

1. The toilet flush wasnt working properly first night. it was fixed in the morning though. 2. The plugs were not working the second night, our phones were off the entire time which was such an inconvenience. 3. We didnt get shower caps the next day. such inconvenience

Beutiful, tranquil, great food, awesome views
It was a great stay, nothing to dislike. I have a few suggestions though, will contact Mologa privately
Loved everything about this place. Very peaceful.
Unfortunately we got there and they were busy with fire retardant application on the roof.
Breakfast was great. Katlego the waiter, is exceptionally good. Nicole, the marketing manager, is an excellent marketer. She made sure that our stay in Mologa is comfortable. Thank you!!!
The rooms could do with a small microwave to warm up the milk for people who like very hot tea/coffee . I think the price is a bit steep considering it doesn't it include dinner. It's only a b&b.
Excellent location with engaging and friendly staff ready to assist.
Not applicable everything was great
Everything. It’s so beautiful there. The restaurant is very affordable and taste good as well. ( if you happen to go there try their chicken pasta .. it’s the best!)
The gravel road to the lodge 😩
Value for money
Intimate, peaceful and very considerate of my dietary requirements

Beautiful location and accommodation
Limited menu options for 3 night stay
It’s very refreshing and calm it’s a beautiful place
The rules for the guests are very childish,plastic champeign glasses ,room service not allowed because we Wil dirty the bedroom sheets so they say ,they just had sill rules ,check in is only til 6pm if you are late you are charged 150 per hour and the reception lady will make you feel like she is doing you a favour for letting you in ,the place is beautiful but the way they make you feel is horrible ,they don’t make you wish to return
Great breakfast setup along and infinity pool and river
Monkeys roaming around lol, however everything else was great.
Where it’s located
Poor WiFi/cellphone reception. Limited menu offering.
