ラ マミー スイート(La'Mamie Suite)

12 - 15 May 2022: La Mammie is a hidden gem in Tshisahulu, a short distance out of Thohoyandou. The room we got was a thatch setting, w/ a walled open-air shower, bath and toilet. It has character and lovely. Thatch drops dust and reptile faeces, and the staff seem not bothered to clean even after we requested that they do. The plants in the novel outdoor ablutions are covered by dust and still the cleaning staff do not simply use water to remove the dust. The noise from a nearby Vhulelu Bar Lounge is deafening. Some noise barriers towards the road might help. On our arrival, there was a rowdy party blaring throughout the lodge and some from guest rooms, disturbing the little peace that was left. The receptionist is a friendly gentleman who doubles up as a security guard at night, untrained in my book. The pricing seem dodgy and we had to insist on our online booking. Overall, a lodge with potential. Will I return? Maybe.
