Overall a pleasant stay, the lodge is conveniently located. We had a comfortable stay. Management could do more to enforce noise reduction, I think one of the guests held a party or something in their room, spoiling the evening for the rest of us.

A great, private and peaceful, serene environment. A short walk away from main roads, shopping Mall with everything and no less than 4 filling stations with 24 hr convenience stores. The friendly and helpful staff coupled with an interactive Whatsapp chat feature for 24hr help. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.

The carpets are dirty. Dog poop all over the garden. Braai area to close to the rooms as when people braai no where private. For the amount of people that was there all of them behaved and wasn't loud and the lady at reception constantly asked if we were still okay. Thank you for asking. In future just tell your customers about the workshops or meetings. Overall okay.

Hi There Heleen! Thank you for taking the time to review us. Our carpets are made of a thick pile composition and like velvet, when the direction for the pile change, the texture looks different. We can assure you that strict cleaning protocols and regular deep cleaning is performed. We were however on skeleton staff during lockdown and we might have slipped with the garden maintenance - we have since returned to a full staff compliment and these issues are no longer prevalent. We do appreciate you bringing it to our attention and would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused. We have notices all around the property and we address all noise complaints immediately - unfortunately in this industry we do work with people and sometimes it is difficult to manage if some guests' don't co-operate. It does not happen often though. We try to accommodate everyone as best as we possibly can. We wish you a happy and prosperous 2021 :) Keep well and stay safe. Kind regards, Palm Team

Was a wonderful stay. Staff is very friendly and they accommodated our late nights with no issues. Did well with COVID-19 protocols. Would definitely recommend. Breakfast was always good and a good variety.
