Indaba Lodge Hotel Richards Bay ★★★

📍 Davidson Ln & Launder Lane, Meerensee, Richards Bay

"Had a very bad experience with Indaba. I bought voucher which included a night stay, massages, welcome drinks, buffet, rose petals etc. The spa was amazing but no welcome drinks, we didn't get the buffet we had to order and adding more money while the voucher included the buffet and definitely no rose petals. We were so disappointed I don't wanna lie. That was the day I ended buying these vouchers from their (Mowana Spa) it's just a waste of money. When you get there you don't get everything that's included in the voucher"

Seagull Lodge ★★★
"Absolitely fabulous place. We were in Richard's Bay due to a family member being in the hospital and Seagull Lodge was by far the best place we stayed in the area. Rooms are spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Having a great restaurant on-site was fabulous too, and the chefs went out of their way to make vegan dishes that weren't on the menu. But what really makes the lodge so special is the staff. Without fail everyone who works here is extremely friendly and helpful and managers Amanda and Annalie really went above and beyond on a daily badis to make our stay as pleasant as possible in the circumstances. Cannot thank them enough. 100% recommended!"

Indaba Lodge Hotel Richards Bay ★★★
"There were cockroaches in my room. I stayed at the lodge for 8 days and my bathroom towels were not changed, not even once. The room was cleaned daily but bathroom towels never changed. The lodge only has 1 iron for guests to share so you might find yourself waiting hours on end for ‘your turn’ to iron - I waiting over an hour on a work day which made me late."
