Very nice
simona cherubini, Italy
31 July 2011
The lodge is very nice and the atmosphere is really romantic; the owners are very kind and do anything possible to make you enjoy your stay. Etienne and his mother are excellent chefs! The Kruger Park is about 30 minutes away and Marloth itself is a park where you can meet giraffe, zebra and monkeys. When you are travelling during winter, remember that in the rooms there is no heating.

The location is simply stunning and seeing and hearing all the wonderful wildlife on your doorstep is just amazing! The food cooked and prepared by Etienne and Joyce (and served by Fr ... more
Surprise after surprise at Maqueda Lodge: real value for money

And last but NOT least, was the service. It was FAR above average. The family (vder Nest) was so extremely friendly and warm. They re ... more
Wonderful stay

13 July 2009
We had a wonderful stay and the lodge was of the highest standard. Great food, good company and a great place to visit. Thank you very much to the Van der Nest family which made us feel at home since the minute we arrived at the lodge. We can highly recommend this place if you want to have a great African experience...
Fantastic

Our stay was fantastic and Joyce and Gert made us feel very welcome. They were both extremely helpful and Maqueda Lodge itself was very comfortable - we'd definitely go back!
