Needles Lodge

The Needles Lodge is a very relaxing place with a cozy atmosphere. Confortable beds. Amazing food. Really nice staff. We had a very pleasant stay. Without a doubt, 100% recommended.

Very friendly welcome from the owner and he and his wife also joined us for sundowners and very interesting discussions in the boma. Breakfast und dinner was delisious and prepared with love! The lodge is very well maintained and a good location for drives into the Krugerpark (30 minutes to either Malelane or Crocodile Bridge Gate) if one does not want to stay in one of the public Kruger Camps.

We had a fabulous time staying at needles. The hospitality of Denis, Gail and Colin was out of this world. Enjoyed dining with them each night hearing stories and sitting round the fire pit. It is a very intimate lodge and we enjoyed the personal touch. My father had a lot of laughs with the staff and the animal activity right at the lodge was incredible: warthog, mongoose, zebra, kudu, monkeys and bushbabies. We loved it so much we are thinking of taking another trip and would not hesitate to book needles again with its close proximity to kruger park. Gail was also great with my father who has an amputation and helped dress his leg being a former nurse so we would like to thank her for that. Everything is on the ground floor so it was easy to walk around. It had a very relaxed feel at the lodge and we were able to relax around the pool in the sun with the animals coming to us. Food is fabulous each night with the staff accommodating individual need. Loved that most food in the evening was cooked on the braai. Thanks again for a great stay! Can't speak highly enough about the whole experience.

We went on our honeymoon to this wonderful lodge. The staff members were extremely helpful and Denis was always very informative on the area and surrounds. Our food was scrumptious every single time and always served with a smile by the friendly staff. The lodge was spotlessly clean and we had a super comfy bed and pillows in our room. To top it all off, animals such as warthogs, zebras, kudu (to mention a few), made regular visits to the lodge. Leaving the lodge was like leaving a home away from home.
