  This was our family's 1st holiday North of Maputo. We enjoyed Guinjane Lodge because of its location with regards to being reachable from Lebombo border post in a day, the... read more diving and snorkelling activities, the spacious clean 5 bedroom chalet and the friendly service.

  I agree with the two previous reviewers, but they forgot to mention three important things: 1) There is nothing more than the chalets on the premises, no common areas, no... read more shop, no nothing. 2) All other people visiting this place, and the surrounding beaches and...More

  The location is about 25km to Inhambane city.

I loved this place. I wish I could do a new trip with family and friends...

  We liked the set up of the lodge rooms, they provide privacy. Though we would have preferred a sea facing chalet if we knew before hand. Our overall stay was... read more good and the staff is helpful. Next time your security personnel & maintenance guys should not walk past the front door of a chalet they are no coming to it's creepy, especially because there are no curtains.
Thank you

  We had a lovely holiday at this lodge. The chalets are specious with everything you need except bath towels. They are cleaned twice a day and the staff very fiendly,... read more however most speak mainly portuguese, which is nice as you can learn another language. Beds are covered with mosquito nets and roof fans keep it a bit cooler. The road from the main road is very sandy, however lower tyre pressure works. The chalets are also quite close to the beach to drive down or even walk. There is a small shop close by selling basic goods should you run out on something. The lady just outside the gate makes the nicest fresh pao bread! We enjoyed our stay at this lodge compared to some other places.

  We booked well in advance. Covid was not on the horizon. Then it was after we paid for a four bedroomed place our deposit.
This was the wrong amount,... read more quoted erroneously low. So we had to pay more in.
Enters covid and locked borders.
The owners were gracious to wait longer for the second halve of the payment, pending the opening of the borders and also amenable to a different date altogether.
Cometh the hour, 4 of the 6 of us got Covid and could not go.
My wife contacted the admin and offered that we could go to a smaller unit as we were only 2.
They accepted the offer, but did not reciprocate with a reduction in the fee.

We were given a very nice unit, in spite of the lack of airconditioning. However, with the windows open(crime, what is that?)
and the ceiling fan the heat was bearable.
I found it strange to sleep in a netted cage however, but anopheles left us alone.
Access to the beach was very easy.
Power failures were quite often, but the generator worked very well. The daily cleaning of the unit was great.
Fish and other seafood was delivered on your door step as you required.

This was nice. Very nice More

  Guinjane Lodge has left me with very mixed feelings. The physical position, the chalet itself, the clean facilities were almost perfect in every way. The cleaning lady was lovely, the... read more management unobtrusively checked on us and were quick to respond to requests. My gripe is that there is no braai grid - one can be rented (I wasn’t charged) - and that no bath towels are supplied, a first in my self-catering experience. It was stated to bring towels in the booking form, but this was missed in the long list of rules. And that is the problem with Guinjane Lodge - rules, rules and more rules. The rigorous cancellation policy, the required key deposit, the form received on arrival, the information folder with more rules, the fire warning pictures. This all spelt a picture of complete distrust and enveloped us with a cloud of negativity. The final straw was when we left, handing back the keys and braai grid to the cleaning lady we told her that we had left her a tip. She was visibly fearful and requested that we fetch it as she was forbidden to return to the chalet until it had been checked and believed she wouldn’t get her money. This left us with a bad taste. The Management needs to take a good look at their style, investigate how similar lodges are run, wonder why we were the only guests in the shoulder season...
