They should install alternative energy. There was no electricity on the Sunday from 6am to 9pm. So the day was not enjoyable at all. This means one could not enjoy being at the facility at all on the day.

Reviewed 23 February 2017

very nice resort, we do not play golf but enjoyed watching what was going on. Staff are very friendly and helpful. l Would say that you could do with an extra small plate at breakfast for the toast. And at times the grass cutting when you were trying to have a rest went on for quite sometime, but having said that it would not stop us staying there again, John and Howard are very good at making you welcome and o make sure that you have all that you require. Many thanks to all

Our stay was fairly good, I loved our time there. Only one issue: The kitchen staff not so friendly, breakfast not entirely enjoyable. Some sort of formal kitchen wear will also do - they were poorly dressed, not reflective of the stature and ambiance of Matumi Golf Lodge. Otherwise, our room and the rest of the facilities are top class.

The staff reception needs a wakeup call. Those two men are unwelcoming, not helpful at all. They do not portray the professionalism we are accustomed to at most hotels through our travels. They give the impression of not taking their job very seriously and that is not good. The estate and room was nice though.

Terrrible service. Breakfast took 2 hours to prepare.
Stains on bedding. Rooms dirty. TV not working. Broken shower doors.
I have been to many 5 star lodges and this is not 5 star. This is 2 maybe 3 at best.

Do not pay to stay at Matumi

My partner and I recently spent three nights at Matumi Golf Lodge in Nelspruit. We found the accommodation to be first class with the staff very pleasant and helpful. For anyone visiting Nelspruit, this is the perfect place to stay. It is located within the gated Nelspruit Golf Course, which makes it safe and secure. You can take a leasurely stroll around the golf course or avail yourself of the club house facilities.
Would definitely stay there again.
