My family and I had recently spent 3 nights at Zeranka Lodge. This was over the Easter Weekend, and we were lucky to secure accommodation there, although, having never visited before, I had some reservations as to the quality to the ledge.

Beautifull lodge on the beach. Rooms are most comfortable. Staff especially Dorothy "the ommelette lady" are a credit to a wonderfull establishment. The gardens and pool area are tranquil and kept spotlessly clean. 5 star in every way

We spent 6 days at the zeranka lodge and we both had travelled a lot before but never ever had such nice hosts like Marcelle and Allan. They really care for their customers, they have very good advice, nice tour operators. We really appreciated their service.
