Needlles Lodge - The Kruger National Park - Mpumalanga
Accommodation -
Needles Lodge is a warm and welcoming family run lodge in the heart of Marloth
Park, a private residential nature reserve bordering the Kruger National
Park between the Malelane and Crocodile Bridge entrances to the Park.
Whether you are just passing by, visiting The Kruger Park, discovering the
diverse attractions in the province of Mpumalanga, or simply looking for a
quiet, peaceful retreat for a few days, Needles Lodge is the prefect place
to relax and unwind.
With nothing but the sights and sounds of the African bush, numerous guest appearances
from resident kudu, zebra, giraffe, warthog, wildebeest and impala wandering
around the lodge and keeping you company, you can lay back and enjoy surrounding
bush or go on one of the many day trips available.
Needles Lodge is an up market lodge that offers six beautifully
appointed bedrooms, each with its own character and atmosphere and all the
luxuries to ensure a comfortable stay out in the bush. Every room enjoys
air-conditioning and is equipped with ceiling fans; bathrooms are en-suite
offering extra large baths as well as separate showers. The décor
has been tastefully chosen to ensure that you feel completely relaxed and
with all the comforts of home.
All of our rooms have been named after significant landmarks and places of
interest in and around the coastal town and on arrival at the lodge, visitors
can be reminded of all the rich history and memories of the old "NEEDLES
HOTEL" and Port St Johns.
With the lounge, dining and entertainment area located in the centre
of the lodge, the rooms stretch out on either side and are joined by wooden
decks that converge on the central deck and patio. Each room has large
sliding doors that open out onto a wooden deck and the bush directly before
it. From your bed, you can enjoy views out into the bush and the numerous
game that regularly frequents the area. Children are allowed, and can be
accommodated in their own room.
The central lounge and entertainment area at Needles Lodge extends out
onto a large outside deck surrounding the trunk of a giant Marula tree.
Under the shade of the giant Marula, guests can relax with views of the
bush or simply drop into the swimming pool located adjacent to the outside
entertainment deck. The central living and dining area offers old country
style, luxury couches and chairs. The lodge provides cable TV, an extensive
library of magazines, novels, historic and safari coffee table books and
games, CDs, and DVDs – all are available to guests on request.
Other services and facilities available at the lodge include an honour bar, fax,
telephone and Internet/email access.
South Africa is most famous for its enjoyment of fine food
and wine. In particular, Mpumalanga has got access to the freshest of seafood
that is caught in neighbouring Mozambique which is well known for its prawns,
crayfish, clams and freshly caught line fish. Mpumalanga is also famous for
its beef so you will also savour some of the best "braais" and
roasts in the country.
Mike will be happy to cater to your specific weaknesses
so be sure to place your order in advance for some of the most excellent
seafood and meat dishes.
A fond lover of wine, Mike also offers a wide selection
of some of the Capes best wines. The honor bar is available for guests to
choose from a full selection of beers, spirits and soft drinks.
Breakfast is served daily but guests may also enjoy lunch
