Star grading renewal

On Monday the yearly TGCSA (Toursim Grading Council of South Africa) renewal assessment will be conducted. Last year we achieved 94% (thats just 1 % short of a 5 star rating). We are very proud of the fact that Abangane Guest Lodge's accommodation and services are now already 3 years in a row graded 4 Star.

With choosing a star graded establishment for your stay in Hazyview, Mpumalanga and anywhere else in South Africa, you know what you can expect and are pretty safe from bad surprises, spoiling your holiday or weekend get-away.

We will keep you posted in a few weeks time what this years results are.

(The TGCSA's star grading is an independent assessment of what guests can expect to find at an accommodation provider. It's based on the overall quality, but also takes into account the services and facilities you'd expect to find at that particular star graded establishment.)

Guest Book @ Abangane Guest Lodge

It seems we are doing something right at Abangane Guest Lodge! We capture all our guestbook entries on our website (click here to view) and we are proud to say that in the meantime we have captured over 400 entries of guests who have stayed with us and felt the need to comment on accommodation, food and services offered at our Lodge in Hazyview. The two entries above are our favourite ones and we would like to share those. Maybe someone will be able to help us translate (we hope it was a happy guest, lol)?
