Made to feel super welcome as a gay couple, and got to know the staff and local amenities pretty well - do try the local village experience!!. Visited some other hotels during our long beach walks but nowhere was as friendly and welcoming as Driftwood Lodge. Both food and drink amazing!! Especially as bar staff were super lovely and so funny!! We went 2 years ago, so not sure what has changed, but would go back in a jiffy if we could!! Treasuring amazing memories….

Location is very good -- beach can't be beat, and walkable to other nice restaurants. Pool was very pleasant. It's a small hotel, and when we were there we might have been the only guests, so it felt very quiet. I do wish the rooms were more closed off from mosquitos -- there were many holes in the netting around the bed and to the outside, and we saw a fair number. But overall, a good experience.
Really amazing place! The hosts from South Africa are the most amazing couple and made this a great experience. The place really feels like coming home. The food is great and the atmpshere in the lodge is perfect. The staff are all really nice and the cleanliness of the rooms and everything is perfect!
What a place! If you like it remote, small and peaceful, this is your place. Staff was very kind. A bit pole pole, but if you are on vacation, what's the rush. Amazing beach front location and nice pool. The rooms were okay, the bungalows perfect. My extra points go to the rescue dogs that were around. So if you don't want furry breakfast company do go to a high maintenance place. This was just perfect for me.
This is an awesome place to sit back and enjoy one of the best views of the ocean. The owners are so friendly and accommodating. Truly good hearted down to earth people ☺️. The food is excellent. I couldn't resist over stuffing myself. So many rich flavorful meals to choose from. Here you will find very nice and cozy bungalows to retire to and the end of your day of sun bathing, eating or just hanging out pool side. The staff is amazing....just amazing 💯. They are so friendly and catering I couldn't possibly ask for better. This place makes you feel like family returning home for the holidays. And the kicker is they are so reasonably priced you can't go wrong. Call them and book now. I am a VERY satisfied customer. Thank you so much Rashid you are awesome 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.
