Fantastic Lodge
Nedile Lodge was an amazing stay. As a solo female, I felt safe at all times. The safari rides were fantastic, and our guide, Barend, was interesting and knowledgeable. I saw so many animals! The food was first class, and bountiful. The rooms are stunning. There is a soaker tub that overlooks the reserve. I highly recommend this lodge.

Absoulute must visit
Fabulous stay! This boutique hotel is intimate with only 10 guest max so the service is very personalized and very friendly, the space is gorgeous, food is beyond delicious and the game drives were spectacular. This was the best part kf our whole trip in south Africa and we look forward to returning. We were there on our honeymoon and it felt like paradise.

Nedile lodge was an amazing experience. The lodge is beautiful and in a stunning setting. So peaceful and tranquil that we wished we had booked to stay longer. John and Dominique are wonderful hosts and the food is delicious. The game drives were fantastic. What John doesn’t know probably isn’t worth knowing. He has so much patience and a real understanding of the animals that we always managed to get close to them when others didn’t. We would definitely recommend this place to everyone

Could have been better
No TV in the rooms itself, No phone for room service, must use your own mobile to contact the front desk if in need of anything as well as when you need to attend dinner because you are not aloud to walk alone and unattended. But in-spite of it all, the service was really good with regards to the pic-up and drop-off and the African ladies that provided such warm welcoming and high quality service.

Good day Angelique, Thank you for your valued feedback. We always appreciate hearing how our guests have valued their stay. We have reviewed your feedback regarding the TV as well as the phones in the rooms. Expedia/Hotels.com/Travelocity.com allows each establishment to mark the correct feature that is available at the property to be correctly advertised. As Nedile Lodge is a Bush Lodge, no TV’s are advertised as well as no phones in the rooms. Being in a remote area without telephone service we decided not to put phones in the rooms. Most guests prefer to hear the tranquillity sounds of the Bush instead of the TV next door . We have a Library with a TV for that occasional sporting event our guests don’t want to miss, but it was our decision not to put TVs in the rooms. It was also a conscious decision not to fence the camp in with electric fences. Wild animals roam freely through the camp and you might even wake up in the morning joined by a Lion on your veranda. Elephants regularly join us at the swimming pool for a drink. This means that it is dangerous to walk alone at night. During daytime you can walk on your own but it is again recommended to to stay close to the buildings in order to get away if a dangerous animal would visit us. Over the years we have also perfected the communication between Lodge staff and guests for when they would like to be collected for dinner as well as for the morning drive so that they won’t need to worry about contacting them. Rooms are issued with horns to call lodge staff in case of an emergency. There is cellphone reception so guests can phone the lodge staff with question if the don’t want to walk the short distance to the main lodge. We will definitely inform the Lodge of your great feedback especially about the service which we pride ourselves very much. We do hope to see you again.

Parfait séjour
Excellent séjour au Nedile Lodge. Vaut vraiment le détour. Lodge luxueux et bien entretenu. Les ''game drive'' sont incroyables, nous avons vu beaucoup plus d'animaux que nous nous imaginions pouvoir en observer. Notre ranger, Michael, était toujours motivé et intéressant. Les hôtes sont charmants et accueillants, le service est impeccable. La nourriture est excellente.Parfaite alternative au Kruger pour ceux qui n'ont pas le temps de s'y rendre ou préfèrent un endroit sans risque de malaria.

Nedile Lodge
Sehr schöne Lodge im Welgevonden Game Reserve mit sehr freundlichen aufmerksamen Gastgebern und gutem Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Neben vielen Impalas und Gnus ist die Anzahl an Nashörnern im Park beeindruckend, der aber auch mit Löwen, Geparden, Leoparden,Elefanten und vielen anderen Tieren aufwarten kann. Auch angenehm: das Gebiet ist malariefrei.
