The peacefulness of some rooms is noteworthy, but keep in mind that it might be difficult to find an Uber. However, the resort is situated in a beautiful spot quite close to the beach and guests rave about its location being perfect. You'll love the beautiful surroundings and the fact that it's family-oriented. While it might be a little too far from amenities or town for some, others appreciate being out of town while still having close proximity to shops and restaurants. The resort also benefits from a great location just outside of the city and it's fantastic for those attending graduation ceremonies at the nearby university. Finally, the location was a standout attribute for some guests who appreciated its close proximity to the airport.

Rooms

Pine Lodge Resort offers a range of spacious rooms with clean and adequate furnishings, though some bedding and carpets may be dirty. The chalets and cabins are particularly spacious and offer cute and charming accommodation with some overlooking the sea. However, guests note that the rooms are generally old-fashioned and outdated with a need for modernisation and renovation. Some amenities such as aircon, DSTV and Wi-Fi are missing from the rooms and some guests have reported broken items and uncomfortable beds. Despite this, the area and layout are praised with a large territory, pool and close proximity to the city. Overall, the accommodation at Pine Lodge Resort is sufficient for a one-night stay, though some guests may find it in need of upgrades and improvements.

Beds

Pine Lodge Resort has a range of beds with some guests noting that they are very comfortable and great for sleeping. The bedding and towels are also clean and white. However, other guests had less positive experiences with some complaining that the beds were old, uncomfortable and had torn mattresses. Some couples were unhappy with the arrangement of two single beds pushed together instead of a double bed and also found the blankets to be too small. However, despite some negative reviews, the resort staff were willing to accommodate guests by offering them alternative rooms with larger beds. Although there are some improvements that could be made, overall Pine Lodge Resort is a comfortable place to rest after a day of exploring.

Cleanliness

Pine Lodge Resort is a charming property with spacious and well-maintained rooms that are neat and clean. The cleaning staff are very friendly and helpful, ensuring that everything is all in order upon arrival. Guests appreciate the overall cleanliness of the facilities, both inside and outside and the fact that the chalets/rooms are well kept. However, some guests note that there are areas that need improvement, such as dirty carpets, poorly-maintained bathrooms and a sewage smell all over the property. Some guests mention bugs in their rooms and funny sewerage-like smells. In some instances, guests had to clean the dishes and put-put area themselves. Despite these issues, the property is safe, clean and overall good.

Staff

Pine Lodge Resort boasts an extremely friendly and organized manager, making for a warm and welcoming stay. The majority of staff was mentioned to be incredibly accommodating and helpful, albeit with a few exceptions of indifferent or unfriendly front desk assistants. However, the maintenance team was lauded for their helpfulness. The well-rounded setup of the place, from the security to the cleaners, was also noted as great. Families with children will appreciate the lovely facilities provided. Although some guests were let down by unhelpful staff members, the majority found the service to be great – with reception staff being incredibly welcoming and accommodating. One receptionist, in particular, who was fluent in Xhosa, was loved by guests. Staff members were known to be kind and caring with a strong focus on guests' well-being. A few minor complaints were raised surrounding the lack of pool proximity for some accommodations as well as the negligible cleaning supplies available. Regardless, guests will be hard-pressed to not feel at ease with such friendly and helpful staff on hand.

Wi-Fi

Pine Lodge Resort seems to offer a serene getaway for guests, as no WIFI in the rooms means they can disconnect and fully immerse themselves in nature. Although some reviewers expressed frustration about the lack of WIFI advertised, others appreciated the disconnect and mentioned that WIFI is only available in the reception area. Guests also noted the distance from the beach and the absence of WIFI as a downside for families, as without it, there weren't many entertainment options for kids.

Pool

Pine Lodge Resort's pool is a must-visit spot for all guests! The stunning pool area is well kept and perfect for a relaxing vacation. The pool is amazing and loved by many. Kids can enjoy the pool area designed especially for them while the outdoor pool is perfect for adults. Though some guests complained about the pool being dirty on their arrival, the staff comes and cleans up every day. However, a few guests had to deal with people drinking in the pool area and kids being chased out of the pool because of tags. Nevertheless, the location of the pool is far from some rooms, which was disappointing for some guests. Despite all of this, the Pine Lodge Resort has a stunning pool that adds a great dimension to the guests' experience.

Beach

As you approach Pine Lodge Resort, you'll catch glimpses of the beautiful beach view that awaits you. Once you arrive, you'll be pleased to find a secluded, private beach that offers no frills but plenty of charm. While the beach might not be the best spot for swimming, the walkway leads you to the picturesque spot where you can enjoy the fresh smell of the ocean, take in the stunning views and even spot a lighthouse in the distance. If you're looking for adventure, Ziggy's restaurant nearby offers great views of the beach. Although some guests found it a bit of a walk to get to the beach, it's worth it once you arrive. If you're lucky, you may even have the beach entirely to yourselves. Just make sure to ask the staff for access as it's kept locked for privacy. Overall, Pine Lodge Resort boasts a beautiful location with easy access to a quiet, peaceful beach that will exude charm and character.

Family

Pine Lodge Resort is a superb place that caters for all types of accommodation needs from family-friendly to large groups. The location is family-oriented in a nice environment for the kids. Families with children will enjoy the lovely facilities available, including a kids play area and many activities to entertain them. This is a place where kids come together and mingle, providing a great weekend with your little ones. However, some guests found the facilities for the kids not up to speed, while others believed that more activities would be great. For the price, though, many were satisfied. One guest mentioned it was beautiful and affordable to stay with family. Although, one down-side is that some of the cabins may not be suitable for children with special needs, due to high stairs. Finally, a group of guests over their room limit disturbed other guests late at night, which highlighted the need for stricter compliance with the policies regarding the number of people per cabin.

3 Star

Nestled in a picturesque location, Pine Lodge Resort offers an affordable and enjoyable stay for families. While the facilities are a bit outdated, the resort has clean and comfortable units that are perfect for a transit stay. The staff is friendly and accommodating and the resort is conveniently located near amenities and the beach. Some guests had issues with monkeys invading their bungalows, but the resort assured them that the windows are monkey-proof. Although the rooms could use some modernizing and there were a few small complaints about lack of toiletries and TV channels, Pine Lodge Resort still provides great value for money compared to other options in the area. Overall, it is a pleasant and satisfactory place to stay for a budget-friendly holiday.

Outdoor Pool

If you're looking for a family-friendly resort with an amazing outdoor pool, Pine Lodge Resort is definitely worth considering. Guests have raved about the stunning pool area, which is perfect for both kids and adults. In fact, some guests even loved the pool so much that they chose to be thermo - aka they just couldn't bear to leave the water! Kids will also be entertained by the great facilities and games available, including a playground area. Just be sure to double-check that all the facilities are open before you arrive, as some guests found that they weren't able to utilize everything.
