The lodge was secure, and I really appreciated that the staff allowed us to check in early. Overall, we had a pleasant stay. A few things could be improved, such as replacing the shower curtain and ironing board, and giving the refrigerator a more thorough cleaning, as they had noticeable yellowish stains. I expected these items to be in better condition. That said, I'm not complaining too much since we mainly needed a place to sleep. The location is excellent, with stores, parks, and the safari park all nearby, making it a convenient place to stay.
