This lodge is an absolute hidden gem. We loved our stay. Beautiful rooms, very clean, outdoor luxury shower was amazing. Dinner was fantastic with the firepit. Staff were lovely and friendly. Thanks so much for a great stay. Will definitely return.
A simply fabulous 3 night stay. Our cabin was large and so comfortable with an out door shower. The view was superb and the food was absolutely excellent. One evening the hosts created a brai for their guests which was such a great experience. We enjoyed our chats with everyone. A perfect 3 days. .
nice little hideaway,but it is 35 km away from the location where hotels.com shows up.

Disappointed
We stayed one night as a couple. Everything was fine (not amazing) but we did not enjoy the over prized boat cruise and were charged for more drinks than we consumed. What's more, the boat guide was very inappropriate and dangerous towards the animals during the cruise. Only recommend it if you are a tiger fisherman!
We were heartily welcomed enjoyed the tranquillity of the place.

Nice place w/ disappointing restaurant staff
We stayed at Shayamoya Lodge for two nights. The lodge is nice, 4-stars by South African standards and the thatch-roof chalets are spread over the property, which gives you privacy. Unfortunately the lodge is situated not too far from Golela Road, the connection to the Swaziland border, so there is some traffic noise in the background, which limits the bush experience.
Dinner at Shayamoya restaurant was a disappointing experience. The menu had four options for main courses. The waitress returned to our table after 20 minutes to let us know that the meal option one of us picked was not available any longer. This happened again after another 20 minutes. So basically there were only two mains to “choose” from and it took way over an hour until our food arrived. Poor, slow service.
Liebevoll gepflegte Anlage mit sehr freundlichem Service. Die Zimmer sind in hübschen Holzhäusern mit bequemen Betten, Outdoordusche und fantastischer Aussicht! Sogar an Moskitospray wurde hier gedacht, wir brauchten es aber zum Glück nicht. Das Abendessen war sehr gut und auch das Frühstück ist zu empfehlen- besonders das selbstgeröstete Müsli! Wir würden hier immer wieder buchen!
Beau lodge familiale, soigné et bien emménagé. Les rondavels avec vue sur le lac de Josini sont joliment décorés et ont beaucoup de charme. Belle piscine et beaux espaces exétrieurs. Le personnel est particulièrement aimable et attentionné. Un barbecue peut être organisé sur demande. Seuls bémols : le pommeau de douche coulait mal car entartré et la personne qui nous a accompagné sur le lac de Josini remplaçait le guide "officiel" mais n'avait pas ses compétences donc sortie en bateau décevante ...
Bungalows disséminés dans un joli jardin botanique et une vue splendide sur le lac. Moustiquaire, douche exterieure...de très bon moment. Excellent dîner et excellents vins.
Sehr schön gelegenes Hotel. Wunderschöne Chalet mit toller Aussendusche! Anfahrt sehr steil und Naturboden. Für einen Zwischenstop nach Norden oder Süden sehr zu empfehlen.
Super Lage trotz steiler Zufahrt, die aber mit jedem Pkw zu befahren ist. Die Cottages enthielten alles Notwendige für eine entspannte Unterbringung. Hervorragendes Dinner und Frühstück. Besonders empfehlenswert sind die Rivertour (Crocs und Hippos satt) und der Gamedrive mit Guide Maxwell. Preis-Leistung bestens.
