The lodge offers a sun terrace.

We loved the glamping tent and the attached kitchen and fire place. There was a beautifull open view with a giraf next to the tent in the morning. There was a mistake with the booking but when we arrived the owners where so nice and helped us out. We had the opportunity to stay in the glamping tent which is fantastic and has everything you need. It is clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen is a real plus and the fire place area is a dream. We loved it out here. People are very nice and helpfull.

Beautiful and comfortable lodge on the edge of Welgevonden game reserve. The lodge is managed by Tanya and Choert, a very friendly, efficient and helpful couple. They made everything to make our stay a success. Tanya is a great chef cooking excellent dishes. Choert is the game driver with a perfect knowledge of the bush. He is passionate and made every game drive a thriving moment. We saw a lot of animals with hunting lions at close distance as the “cherry on the cake”. Thank you for everything.

    A special place, awesome for wildlife, outdoors and sport lovers. Our lodge Alden Cottage had it's own lake you could canoe on! All the lodges are private and secluded and there is plenty of Lindani to explore in a car on the dirt roads or best of all on foot or a bike. Amazing value for money we had a great stay!

    The lodge is managed by a very nice couple. The personnel was very friendly and helpful. Very good and tasty food (breakfast + dinner). Although the accomodation suffered from a storm on the day of our arrival, i.e. electricity was hurt, Tanya did everything to provide us a remarkable stay. Choert made a fantastic game drive and concentrated on only two of the Big Five (lions + rhinos), so we could spent most of the time observing animals instead of making kilometers in the Welgewonden reservat (entry is very close to the lodge).

    Matingwe is definitely recommended. Best lodge in the area including the possibility for big-five game drives in Welgevonden. Choert loves his job as a ranger and really got the most out of the game drives. Price-performance is optimal. Rooms are beautiful (love the bathroom!), very clean and nothing was missong. The food (dinner and breakfast) leaves nothing to be desired. Everything was delicious without exception. Thanks for that dear Tanya. We felt welcome and like home. We will be back!!!

    There are numerous big open plan areas that make this big house feel even bigger. Great for groups of 10 people. The addition of a wood fire heated pool next to the boma makes this house even better seeing that they are hard to find in a lodge. Very private and nice for a weekend getaway with family and friends. The owner and staff were also very accommodating and super friendly.

    Tanya and Chourt were absolutely fantastic hosts and managers of the lodge. Rooms are beautiful, very classy and super clean and the surrounding of the lodge is just exceptional. The food, both breakfast and dinner were always home-made, quality ingredients and delicious and going on the game drives with Chourt was absolutely great! He is super knowledgeable, so keen on providing a great experience and most of all, great fun to be with. We had an amazing time and can just recommend it.
