So glad I found this secret!

Pros: Keisha, Nobulele, Tonderai and the team took such good care of me from the moment I arrived until I left. I loved Keisha's crispy croissants in the morning, and the freedom I had to sit in the Sunshine. I loved the garden, the flora, the privacy of my room. I had a lovely stay and look forward to another visit.

Cons: I can't think of anything that I didn't like....

Overall, SW1 Lodge is an absolute gem, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing getaw

Pros: I recently stayed at SW1 Lodge, and I can’t say enough good things about it! The accommodation was absolutely gorgeous—every detail of the house was beautifully decorated, and each room felt thoughtfully designed. It truly has a luxurious yet cozy atmosphere. The breakfast was fantastic and incredibly filling, the perfect way to start the day. But what really stood out was the staff. They were so friendly, kind, and always willing to go above and beyond to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible.

A True 5 Star experience

Pros: Upon arrival we were welcomed and made to feel at home. Our room was exceptional, the decorations had meaning, each space filled with purpose and we felt a nice homely feeling. Our host Tonderai was so friendly, kindhearted and helpful and attended to all our needs. He was very professional at all times, yet we felt his warmth and he was always smiling. He is truly a gem at SW1 lodge and we felt very comfortable with his exceptional service. Our Chef was so nice and friendly, treating us to his breakfast specialties and those breakfasts were remarkable, such depth of flavour. We loved our room so much, the aircon and fireplace was so nice and made the room feel cozy and warm during this cold winter season. We loved the turn down service too and this was a nice touch. We will surely return in the near future to experience this warmth and love again. Warmest regards Ryan and Melissa

Cons: No negatives to mention here, we loved our experience.
