Detailed Reviews
Rooms - clean, neat, practical, warm, comfortable and well equipped. The standby generator ensured that we had electricity supply when loadshedding kicked in. The staff were excellent, and the management were very accommodating and extremely good to our team. definitely the place to stay at when in Pongola to enjoy a safe, comfortable stay.

We were on a business trip and had not booked as we were unsure where we would be at the end of each day. Arriiving in Pongola (a small town ) we looked for accommodation and saw a bill board for this property with its 3 Star rating. Well what a surprsie - rooms are large, comfortable and the rate is amazing.
The staff and owner are so friendly and a nice home cooked breakfast to finish off the one night we had there... we will be back

The one night that my partner and I spent at Elegant Lodge lingers on in our memory. The room we got was excellently appointed, affording both privacy and convenience. The facilities are exquisite. We enjoyed the beautiful garden and took many lovely photos there. The breakfast was sumptuous. The staff were helpful and courteous without being overbearing. The Elegant Lodge is our number one choice in Pongola.

Checking in was a breeze...easy and effortless! Rooms very clean and comfortable with aircon. If wanting to dine at night, book for dinner a day in advance. However, a few restaurants in the area will cater for your hunger pangs! Does not have liquor licence, but you can bring your own drinks. Mixture of continental and hot breakfast...all worth it. More of a sleepover facility than a traditional residential hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful Lodge and at a reasonable price.
The service we received was excellent. The staff went out their way to make us feel comfortable. Its very close to the Swaziland border so if you spending a night or planning to stay there for a few nights its perfect place to stay.
well maintained rooms. The lodge is 5 mins away from the main city, engen pick n pay are basically around the corner.

Elegant Lodge is really the best in Pongola if not the whole Zululand. The manager and staff are super friendly and always willing to assist and make my stay special. Elegant Lodge will always be my first choice when visiting the area. I recommend you do the same.....
