Very pleasant.

Pleasant stay, lovely accommodation with shop, restaurant, high tea. Engaged owners. Also, one of the few to have separate waste collection, which is great!

I would stay there again.

It's a decent place to stay. My room and the bedding were clean. The ablutions are kept clean. There is only WiFi at the restaurant and not at the common room as advertised. I would not recommend the food from the restaurant. If you come prepared, it is a good place to stay and value for money.

Hi Ray,
Thank you for your review and feedback from your stay in Aloe and Ntshitshi self-catering cottages in December. We are delighted that your group of ten were comfortable and happy with the accommodation, the service from our staff, the cleanliness of the two cottages, the location of Sani Lodge in the Drakensberg and the security.

Your feedback is invaluable to us.

Kind regards
Simone (Sani Lodge owner) and our team.

Sani Lodge and Backpackers 's response

Dear Jesse,

Thank you for your feedback and rating of your stay with us at Sani Lodge.
We are delighted that you enjoyed the pool with a view of the escarpment and guest kitchens. Our staff have been with us for more than 20 years and are so grateful for the support from local South Africans as tourism was really hard hit during covid.
It is a privilege for guests staying at Sani Lodge to be able to walk straight into the World Heritage Site Drakensberg Park from their room or campsite as our land borders directly on to the Park. There are several hikes from here from a few hours to a week, either sleeping in caves, your own tent or huts along the famous 5 day Giant's Cup Trail. Our prime location on the Sani Pass road, just 16 kmks from the SA border post and our tours into Lesotho up the Sani Pass in sturdy landrovers enable guests to explore Lesotho.
We hope that you will return to stay with us in the not too distant future.
Kind regards from Simone, Russell and our Sani Lodge team!

Baie naby aan Sani-pass. Ete in die restaurant was heerlike bord gekookte kos.

Daar is nie ys nie en ek sal aanraai dat jy alles wat jy nodig het, sal saambring. Kamers basies, maar mooi skoon en in 'n pragtige omgewing. Daar word elke dag 'n bekertjie melk in jou yskas gesit as jou eenheid 'n yskas het. Baie dankie.

Very close to Sani pass. Meal in the restaurant was delicious plate cooked food.

There is no ice and I would advise that you bring everything you need with you. Rooms basic, but nice clean and in a beautiful setting. A mug of milk is put in your fridge every day if your unit has a fridge. Thank you very much.

Dit was baie gesellig met alles wat nodig is.

As die eienaars net kan seker maak dat die wasbakke in die badkamer proppe en warm water het, sal dit die Lodge nog meer gesog maak.

It was very cozy with everything needed.

If the owners can just make sure that the sinks in the bathroom have stoppers and hot water, it will make the Lodge even more desirable.
