Posted onVerified Brilliant service location and vibe We held a small retreat at Mseni, and we were thrilled with everything about it! The location in a lush seaside forest, near dive sites, with a great pool. The staff even brought us room service from the restaurant! If you like softer pillows bring your own but besides that this was overall an excellent stay in an amazing location.Posted onVerified Great place to stay in Sodwanna Bay! Family cabin was great. Excellent service. Restaurant was also very good. Enjoyed most of the menu items a lot. Was disappointed that the pizza crust had changed to pre-made; in the past the pizza was phenomenal.Posted onVerified Top quality food, diving and more I really took a bit of a punt with Mseni. I booked it on the basis of a Google search - best diving in South Africa. I had to work out logistics, including renting a car for a five hour drive from Durban. But I have to say Mseni is a hidden gem and the highlight on my recent trip to South Africa. First off let me begin by giving compliments to the chef. I’ve forgotten his name but he is a lovely bloke and so is his wife. It would be so easy to serve up slop to a captive audience here. The nearest restaurant is a 15 min drive on a dirt road with mud and potholes. However he puts love into every bite. Breakfast is included and hearty and wonderful. Honestly scrambled eggs are so simple yet so easy to bugger up and mseni’s are just perfect. Add to that friendly service and a tasty cup of Joe and you have a meal that satisfies up to dinner time. Dinner is equally good. Veg and chicken curries are tasty and fresh. Pizza is good - we went with a bacon and egg breakfast one and it was superb. Spring rolls bobotie - lovely! But the highlight is the burger. The juiciest patty you could imagine in a fresh bun with all the fixings you want. I have to call out the service too- particularly Khona, who remembered preferences, and always served us with a warm smile. When she wasn’t available all the staff were responsive, patient and kind. Diving can be done through Amoray or Coral. They are owned by the same people and ea h will pick you up from Mseni. I went with Amoray and the only difference I could see was a bigger and better boat. Diving is not to be missed. It is some of the best diving I’ve done anywhere. The beach is also stunning for swimming, snorkeling and fishing. Feeling peckish? There is a reasonably priced cafe right on the beach. Rooms are little cottages. You never hear your neighbors. Rooms are cleaned daily and feature a fridge and all mod cons. Shout out to the cleaner who waited patiently for us to leave before restoring our room back to factory settings of clean. Staff is responsive but not in your business. They ask how you are doing but are not nosey. They also take time to make sure everything is ok or ask if you need anything. Deck chairs and umbrellas are available for the beach. We used them and would highly recommend. We enjoyed a quiet 6 nights diving and eating and would recommend it to anyone.Posted onVerified Beautiful experience in the bush Amazing time at Mseni lodge. Accommodation is awesome and chalets are very well equipped. Food in the restaurant is excellent. Staff are very friendly and service is great. Highly recommended!Posted onVerified at the end of the world and yet comfortable Lovely place to walk, relax, enjoy the beach, have a delicious breakfast while watching whales swim in the far distance - very quietPosted onVerified Beach and diving Great place to stay, Staff is very friendly and help full. We had a great time in the family cottage, which you only need for sleeping as most of the time you are on the beach or in the water. Great 4x4 quad biking in town.Posted onVerified Great stay Great accommodation clean and beautifully redecorated kitchen perfectly adequate for self catering stayed in a 4 sleeper which will sleeps 4 adults comfortably both bedrooms on-suite chalet very private amongst the bush and braai area just off the deck and if u don't want to cook restaurant very good with an amazing sea view all staff very friendly and always keen to helpPosted onVerified 10/10 A paradise! It was my 3rd time there, I'll be back soon. It's beautiful, scenic, clean, classy, tasty food just fantastic. I'd recommend you all try the hake there it's to die for, thank me later when you see me on return to Mseni beach, its a dreamy location!!Posted onVerified Mseni Beach Lodge We have just spent 5 days at Mseni lodge in a 1 bedroom chalet. The staff are friendly and helpful and make the stay pleasant. The rooms are clean with very comfortable beds and pillows + towels. The food at the restaurant is good and the view amazing. It makes spending time there even when it was raining very peaceful and tranquil. There were biscotti in the room that were just delicious so much so that I bought a bunch for friends.Posted onVerified Beautiful lodge in stunning location Beautiful hotel in a stunning location. It had been highly recommended and it more than lived up to expectations! The location is stunning. Rooms extremely comfortable and nicely spaced out amongst the trees. Nice easy beach access and what a beautiful beach. Great restaurant with delicious food and wine and lovely friendly staff. Wish we could have stayed longer!8
