I had a very pleasant stay in Malaika lodge. The rooms are beautiful, just as the swimmingpool, the garden and the views. It is situated conveniently for daytrips to Cape Town as well as its surroundings. Marc is an excellent host. I will always remember his hospitality.

Most of all what made our stay here stand out from all the other places we have visited during our time in South Africa were our hosts Marc and Astrid they went to... More
