Fantastic holiday experience!!!!!!
I would highly recommend anyone for a holiday experience of a life time at Mabaso lodge. The facilities, entertainment and accommodation was outstanding!! I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at Mabaso lodge for an experience of a life time, my expectations was exceeded by far and I cannot wait to return to Mabaso lodge for my next holiday. I also must compliment the lodge and staff on the security that we had, we had no issues and we had 24 hour security, what a pleasure and peace of mind. See you soon!!! 10/10

Accomodation
We were exited to go on holiday to a beach that we've never been before...Sodwana. My Boyfriends mother searched the web to find a suitable resort for our stay. she found a "resort" that looked great and very promising! pictures showed it being a short walk from the beach, (the pictures mysteriously changed on the website recently), Houses looking equipt with everything you need. the directions say that you will be welcomed by a "Beautifull mabaso lodge entrance" we were shocked to find a rusty old automated gate, which we waited in front of for quite a while after our exhausting trip, after that came more dissapointment...during our stay we experienced 4 burgalaries (luckily not our place) where all the valubles, money video camera's, digital camera's, 4-wheelers & much more where stolen. the pool was filthy and untidy and the chairs around the pool were infested by black widow spiders and scorpions. it was extremely hot & irratent at this so called lodge, the swimming pool was almost the same heat of the temerature during the day! The so called villa we were supposed to stay in looked like a shack! disgusting bugs were crawling all over the place with just a piece of net covering the windows. the tv was such a piece of junk that was so small it wasnt even worth watching! the the disgusting old 17th century vinyl was tearing off the dirty cement floors, there is also absolutly no privacy inside, the rooms are divided with pieces of rotting bamboo with an opening on the top and bottom of about 1 meter. everything was falling apart! it looked like they got the furniture from a dumpster! It was old, outdated and just plain gross!!! the rag that they call a carpet was tearing apart and it was a breeding ground for filthy little bugs!!! the villa's are nothing like on the pictures!!! there is barely any fans or lights. they also said on the web site that the lodge security was "relativly" good????? i didnt even see one guard!!! they did have electric fencing...that ofcourse DID NOT WORK!!! it was a vacation from hell!!! i would've rather loved to stay a home!!! you couldnt even walk barefoot between the villa's...there are scorpions & snakes everywhere!!! the entertainment they claimed to have was a joke!!! a 100 year old pool table??? come on! not even the bedding matched!! it's not quite welcoming to see a green pillow here then a brown one there with a completly different duvet it was pathetic!!! the guy that runs the lodge is a total scam artist and the Maids he claims to have is his 13 year old daughter coming to collect your laundry to wash it herself!! (isn't that called child labour???) we were totally disgusted with the place, oh and they left one tiny little detail out of the website!!! that the main beach is 20km away!!! (that you have to pay to go to by the way) the next beach is 80km away!! thank goodness we had a 4x4 otherwise we wouldve been stranded!!! you cant drive anywhere without one, dirt roads are filled with ditches and potholes that a hippo could fit into!!
The spar is utterly disgusting!!! i took one step in the door and ran for my life!! it reeked of rotten stuff! they had old & rotting meat festering with flies on the shelves, people pushing and shoving you out of the way, products well over months of their experation date and the sevice was a disgrace!! even the trafic department was more drunk than the vacationers!!! I would never turn away a child asking for a few rands, but they swarm you there constantly begging for money!!! hitting, spitting and biting eachother to get in from of you it was shocking to see...there are no other shops to buy everyday things either!!! our vacation cost R17 000!!! i wouldnt even want it for free if i had the chance!!! that place will never see me ever again!!! (by the way..the whole website has been changed & edited) please dont fall for the same scam and waste all your hard earned holiday savings! take this complaint well into consideration!
