Overall Ratings & Reviews Gooderson Dumazulu Lodge & Traditional Village

We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the personal Zulu village experience

The resort is very run down. The self-catering rooms were missing a lot of stuff and were very run down, but clean. was so bad we checked out after one night, but the resort was kind enough to refund us our two nights.

It was average. The staff mixed up the booking. Then sorted it out. The place is rustic. Towels are a little old

It is an excellent lodge with a warm and friendly staff. They just need to pay special attention to a few minor but important details like ensuring that appliances like kettle is in good working condition and the tea station is placed in such a way that it is easily seen. The bathing towels are readily displayed at the first day of arrival of new guests. Otherwise, they exceeded my expectation with everything else at such a reasonably good price. They are a 5 star lodge.

Unfortunately we arrived too late for the crocodile and reptile viewings. Thry coe at 5pm. We also missed the traritional zulu dancing and handicraft demonstrations as they were only during the day. I am disappointed about that as it was the reason for going there. The huts are lovely, and the grounds very pretty, but the pool could use some cleaning.
