Description

Discover a true oasis in the beautiful heart of the bushveld at Molalatau Lodge, a name that fittingly means "the resting place of the lion." This is a destination designed for rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation. Situated on the picturesque banks of the Mokolo River, right where it meets the Rietspruit, the lodge is a lush, green sanctuary surrounded by the stunning Waterberg Mountains. It’s a place where you can escape the stresses of the world and surrender to the calming rhythms of nature.

The atmosphere at Molalatau is one of profound tranquility. The beautiful indigenous trees provide a generous canopy of shade, offering cool protection from the hot bushveld sun and creating a wonderfully serene environment. This rich, riverine habitat is a paradise for birdlife, and the constant, varied calls of different species provide a natural, beautiful soundtrack to your stay. It’s the perfect setting to simply sit back, unwind, and let the peacefulness of this special place work its magic on your soul.

While the setting is tranquil, the lodge also offers a wonderful dose of classic bushveld hospitality. The intimate camping area, with its well-maintained sites and convenient electrical points, is supported by a clean ablution block with reliable hot water. The social heart of the resort is its beautiful garden area, which features a sparkling swimming pool and communal braai facilities. For those who want to catch the big game, a sports bar with a big-screen TV is the perfect place to gather with fellow guests. It is this perfect blend of natural serenity and warm, social comfort that makes Molalalatau a truly restorative getaway.

We stayed for 4 nights in the 6-sleeper unit. It was mostly comfortable. The amenities inside of the units need tending to but all the appliances work. All the rooms have working aircons. There's a shower with hot water. The units use borehole water so the toilet has stains which can be easily fixed with Domestos. The receptionist is super-friendly. The workers keep the place clean and neat. The pool is big and enjoyable. Seeing the baboons and monkeys roaming freely was amazing. I saw a monitor as well as a duiker. Nothing can beat the purity of nature and the sounds of the insects. Definitely go prepared with antihistamines as there are tons of mosquitos. The lodge needs more recreational activities as there is only a pool so my kids got bored easily. OVERALL 3/5 STARS.

The atmosphere was exquisite, the staff made it feel like home. The level of professionalism was beyond my expectations. I really enjoyed eve moment I spent at the lodge. I'd recommend that you don't think twice about making your booking when you're around lephalale. Lastly, the view is breathtaking, the air is so light and so pure that you might think twice before checking out

We recently stayed at Molalatau for what was supposed to be a two-night trip, but unfortunately, we ended up leaving after the first night. While the location has potential, the accommodations themselves were a significant letdown.
Our cabin felt poorly maintained and had a persistent, unpleasant smell that made it difficult to relax. The most concerning issue, however, was the cleanliness. The sheets on our bed appeared dirty, which is unacceptable and frankly, a health and safety concern.
We were really looking forward to our stay, but the condition of the cabin made it impossible to enjoy. We hope the management takes these issues seriously and makes the necessary improvements to ensure a more pleasant experience for future guests.

The place is now used by Medupi power station contractors. Don't expect a calm, quiet camping experience, particularly over weekends. The load music and general noise only ended at 2am! Price is too much for facilities that are in an unkept, poor condition.

I booked the place using hyperli voucher the internet pictures are beautiful but the place is not in good condition at all, we didn't even sleep at the place we left looked for a place to sleep. This happened yesterday. The owner should stop with false advertisements of the place
