    Characterful base for 2 nights with welcoming and incredible staff from said staff member. All in all great location, near the Shongweni farmers and handcraft market, and other interesting attractions and Hillcrest. Also, in the middle of the city. Lots of nice food for meals.

    The guestrooms at Kangelani Lodge are simply amazing! The premium bedding made me feel like I was sleeping on a cloud, and the laptop-friendly workspace was so convenient for catching up on emails. Plus, the free WiFi was a lifesaver!

    Personally, I didn't find the microwave in the double room very useful, but hey, that's just me. Some guests may still find it handy.

    The rooms were absolutely stunning and spotlessly clean, with a bed so comfortable it felt like sleeping on clouds. The staff were beyond friendly and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. We had to change our check-in time last minute and Charmaine went above and beyond to accommodate us, even late at night. They have a genius honesty bar where we could make our own drinks, and the accommodations were so lovely, especially with the terrace. We loved that we could choose where to dine, and the dinner was a feast for the senses. The hosts made us feel incredibly welcome and the location was conveniently close to the Shongweni farmers market and other attractions. The gardens were beautiful and the fact that it was near Kearsney College was a huge plus for us. Check-in was a breeze and having a remote for the gate was so convenient. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect stay, this place is a true gem with super amazing staff - a perfect 10 from us!
