We had such a wonderful time staying at Londolozi Lodge. The property was huge and so interesting. We were unfamiliar with the concept of staying at a hosted property but Ro quickly made us feel right at home and when it came time to leave, it was like saying goodbye to our dearest friends. Ro is a truly gracious host.
This property was extremely well presented.Rolanda was well presented and very pleasant.She even offered to assist with luggage.Our cavalier/king charles 2.5 yrs old was made to feel at home.The breakfast provided by Rolanda and Wendy was amazing and nothing was spared from tasty fruit ,mueslie and a cooked breakfast.Would not hesitate to return.Even our dog had a special breakfast .
If you are after something a little different then I urge you to experience the opulence of The Lodge. Ro's fine attention to detail, right down to the black porcelain panther salt and pepper shakers that watch over you as you devour a delicious home prepared meal while enjoying the stunning garden and birdlife, to the superbly designed bathroom, ensures an enchanting experience. We were even treated to parting gifts that are both educational, environmentally ethical and lasting. Do yourself a decadent favour and stay with the ever gracious Ro and her furbaby Oberon.
The property although looked exactly like the images there was no detail about who is on the premises while you are there. It was hosted by the owner with her two dogs (not mentioned). This was not what we expected so we decided to cancel on the spot. The owner was very understanding and offered a refund straight away.
Londolozi Lodge exceeded all expectations for our mini getaway in South Australiaâs Victor Harbour region.
The lodge itself transported us to an African wonderland where every piece of artwork, wood carving and fitting was tastefully and thoughtfully arranged in a luxurious setting. This also extended to the tranquil garden outside with water features and bursts of colour courtesy of the local flora and fauna.
Ro is a charming host and nothing is too much trouble for her. She was great at communicating before, during and after our stay and Wendy and Rob were a delight to meet. We enjoyed a few games of table tennis and hearty breakfasts every morning we were there.
The location was really convenient too; only a short drive to Granite Island, Goolwa and the Murray Mouth, to name a few places we visited. Ninoâs restaurant and Thunderbird are strongly recommended for delicious meals and great hospitality.
Message from Spirit - Thank you Aunty Ro and Wendy for a great holiday. I loved the company of Larabee and Oberon who made me feel very welcome and shared their treats and meals with me. I loved spending time with you all whilst my mum and dad were away and had such a great timeâŠI didnât wanna leave. I canât wait to see you again, take care.
The lodge is a place of tranquillity and peace. It was a unique opportunity to spend time in a house created and managed by a such a wonderful host - Ro. Every piece in the lodge has a touch of her, an animal lover and fashion designer. Our Labrador felt at home from the moment we arrived. We spent a great weekend in the lodge and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a getaway next to Granite Island and Port Elliot.
Thank you Ro for giving us such a unique and relaxing experience.
Property couldn't be faulted, everything was well organized, clean and in a quiet location which is what we wanted.
Only one issue is that we are coffee drinkers and I personally do not like or drink instant coffee. It would serve the owners well if they had a basic Expresso coffee maker.
Very welcoming host, lovely house, good for pets and people.
We really enjoyed our stay and Rolanda made us feel very welcome. We arrived in the evening after a long day and were welcomed with a meal of hot soup and crunchy rolls. Tasty home cooked or continental breakfast was provided each morning.
The house is very comfortable and has a large fully fenced garden which was ideal for our big dogs.
It is in a very quiet area and has a magnificent view over the golf course and easy access to Victor Harbor and walking trails along the Hindmarsh River.
Thank you Ro for a lovely weekend. We hope to come back again soon. M & E
