TWO DECADES OF EXCELLENCE: NEDILE LODGE’S STORY CONTINUES!!
As Nedile Lodge celebrates its 22nd anniversary on January 29, 2025, we take a moment to reflect on the past decade and the incredible upgrades, innovations, and additions that have shaped our beloved lodge into the tranquil escape it is today.
A Dedicated Team with a Growing Family
At the heart of Nedile Lodge is its team, the cornerstone of our success. The original dream team—Jonathan, Mapula, Minky, Gladys, and Lizzy—continues to bring their passion and expertise to every guest experience.
In 2018, we welcomed Thabo John as our head chef, whose culinary talent has elevated our guests dining experience. Together, our team creates a warm, family-like atmosphere, ensuring every guest feels right at home.
Modern Comforts: The Media Room and Wi-Fi in Every Room
As part of our commitment to blending luxury with modernity, we added a media room in 2015. This space serves as a cozy TV room and library, complete with cable TV, Netflix, YouTube, and other streaming options. Whether you want to unwind with a movie, catch up on the latest sports, or delve into a good book, the media room is your sanctuary.
Additions for Wellness and Relaxation
In 2015, we introduced a small yet well-equipped gym. Perfect for those who wish to stay active while indulging in the luxurious comforts of the lodge, it has become a favourite among guests who want to balance relaxation with light exercise.
We also expanded our wellness offerings with a dedicated spa, where guests can enjoy soothing treatments. Nedile Lodge has long been known for its signature Rungu massage, performed expertly by Lizzy. This traditional African massage has been a guest favourite and to complement it, we’ve introduced the Swedish massage, offered by the skilled hands of Minky and Gladys.
Sustainable Living: Solar Power & Backup Solutions
In 2022, Nedile Lodge took a major step toward sustainability by installing a state-of-the-art solar plant. This investment was essential in combating South Africa’s ongoing load-shedding challenges, ensuring uninterrupted electricity for our guests. To guarantee we’re always prepared, we’ve also equipped the lodge with a backup generator—our trusty Plan B.
And as of late 2024, we’re thrilled to offer Wi-Fi in all our rooms. We understand the importance of staying connected with loved ones, even while escaping to the bush. This upgrade is our way of ensuring you have the best of both worlds—serenity and connection.
Thank You for Being Part of Our Journey
As we mark 22 years of Nedile Lodge, we are filled with gratitude for every guest who has walked through our doors. Your stories, laughter, and shared moments have woven themselves into the fabric of our lodge’s history. We look forward to welcoming you back or hosting you for the first time as we continue to grow, innovate, and create unforgettable experiences.
