A Tranquil and Luxurious Retreat
If you are after something a little different then I urge you to experience the opulence of The Lodge. Ro's fine attention to detail, right down to the black porcelain panther salt and pepper shakers that watch over you as you devour a delicious home prepared meal while enjoying the stunning garden and birdlife, to the superbly designed bathroom, ensures an enchanting experience. We were even treated to parting gifts that are both educational, environmentally ethical and lasting. Do yourself a decadent favor and stay with the ever gracious Ro and her fur baby Kudu.

Ro is a lovely host. You have the upstairs area to yourself and come down in the morning for a yummy cooked breakfast. Kudu is Ro's big placid poodle and a great friend for our Monte during our stay. Ro even looked after Monte while were went out.

We had a wonderful relaxing stay sharing the beautiful house with the lovely, generous host and her big fur baby. We had a great breakfast each morning and fresh towels every day. The house is in a very quiet area and close to all amenities and walking distance to a river walking trail.It's a very tastefully decorated clean and tidy house with a beautiful garden.

Thankyou Ro for the wonderfull 3 night stay with our 15 year old dog Sammy. We throughly enjoyed our the cooked breakfast and fruit you prepared. The care you gave Sammy while we went out for tea one night and lunch the next day gave him a spoilt break as well. The Atmosphere of you home is a holiday we will always treasure. Thankyou Jackie, Tony and Sammy.

Taste of Africa

My wife Corinne and I were very impressed with our stay at Londolozi Lodge our host Ro could not have been more helpful and friendly. She made our stay something we will treasure. She kindly allowed us to celebrate 3 family members birthdays at her residence. This was a great day and we cannot thank Ro enough. The Lodge itself is a treasure to behold of African paintings ,furniture and statures. I recommend a visit a stay at this hosted property. Thank you Malcolm.

We travelled from Sydney to Adelaide for a concert at Victor Harbour, and due to the popularity of the event, there were no other options available, so decided to look at options on Stayz. We were fortunate enough to find this listing and reached out to the property owner. Ro, the property owner, was very professional and responded to our enquiry in a timely manner and we were able to secure. Along the way, we had a few questions, and Ro was very quick to respond, which provided us with peace of mind. Upon arriving to the property, we were greeted with a smile and incredible hospitality. Ro's property is incredible and she has invested much of her time creating an amazing animal themed home. Definitely matches the description on Stayz. Beyond the property and fun theme, Ro is a warm, kind and friendly person, who went above and beyond for our group, including preparing a scrumptious breakfast that we enjoyed before we checked out the next morning. We had a wonderful stay at McCracken and thoroughly enjoyed the Ro's hospitality. We would happily return and stay, on our next opportunity, and wouldn't hesitate in recommending to anyone looking for a great experience.

Out of Africa

Amazing African design features, African artefacts and generous welcome. As a bed and breakfast we were given all of upstairs to ourselves, and extremely generous freedom of use for most of the rest of the house. Our daughter joined us and we were able to pay for an extra room. Ro was a remarkable host. Offering a beautiful shirt and a package of CDs as well as an amazing meal for brekky. Remarkably hospitable! Ro and her aunt Wendy who lives across the golf course the property adjoins worked on brekky. The place is on two building blocks in the suburb, but it seems to be a whole different world. The golf course extends out behind, and at times there is a small what you might call waterhole there, but it was dried up at the moment... again the waterholes drying up in Africa came to mind. The gardens were fantastic. The African theme predominates. We were amazed on the one night we srayed at the use of solar powered lighting in the garden to highlight so many of the features. There is an outdoor bar area that was very African. Inside lighting was also remarkable. It was like a whole new world. This was a gift from family, and a new experience for us. We enjoyed the place immensely, and appreciated the care Ro showed. We understand some of her profits go to supporting African projects and conservation.
