    I had the most relaxing afternoon, taking walks in the premises. My daughter loved the playground, fountain, tortoise . We had gone their for an Easter egg hunt and it was great. Would love to go again

    Great initiative, based on strong principles of saving the environment and supporting local economy. Every time I visit one can see development at the lodge. One can notice there must be creative minds behind it. Keep it up and may God bless you!

    I stayed for a week when I was on a work trip in Thyolo and loved every moment at ecolodgy. The rooms are beautiful, and the food was delicious. We came on very short notice (we just showed up, better to book in advance though ;) ) and found so much hospitality, they even rearranged their rooms for us. Every room is designed with a lot of love for details and has a light flooded chill space and kitchen corner to hang out with friends/family/ colleagues when it gets a bit chilly outside. I enjoyed the beautiful nature and would recommend the place to anyone with kids, as they are having a lovely play ground and a lot of green space. Make sure to try their deserts and the pizza with potato dough. I will be back for sure if not for work ( have I mentioned it's perfectly positioned for field trips to Thyolo?), then privately. There are 3 dogs living at ecolodgy, two of them are quite big but they all have a very gentle character and just sometimes come to look for some cuddles. At night they make sure you sleep safe.

    Great farm shop and cafe with a nice relaxing background. They have an interesting selection of fruit and veg and many basics like pasta etc. A great place to relax with the kids (the playpark is awesome). Check out the amazing cakes!

    A beautiful serene place to be. Very friendly hospitality, and the food is amazing! Definitely recommend whether you want to just get away from the noise, or go with your special someone.

    I won a trip to EcoLODGY in a raffle and was so wonderfully surprised at the place. The stone cottages were so wonderfully charming and cozy. The Beetle Bistro though took the proverbial cake! The atmosphere was so relaxing, the service was so wonderfully homey and the food! 😍🤯. Such a variety of food, all delicious and different! I absolutely recommend the place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway!

    Martina and the staff were amazing! They walked our group through and explained how you can truly live sustainably. It was a relaxing, beautiful time with my friends. The food was very good also!

    For someone who loves nature, ecoLODGy is the perfect place. I just loved the place. Having a walk whilst listening to the sound of birds was lovely. I enjoyed the freshly baked scone and freshly crushed passion juice.
