Lodge Facilities at Mabalel Lodge
Make a full day of it in the Mbombela: water slide and swimming pools, a relaxed restaurant & bar, games, and braai areas.
Pools & Water Slide
Cool off in our two sparkling pools, then race the family-friendly water slide. It’s a hit with kids and grown-ups alike, with plenty of seating and shade nearby for lingering between dips.
Family Fun Zone
Little ones have room to roam. The Kiddies’ Play Area features a jumping castle, trampoline, and jungle gym; for sporty bursts, there’s a basketball hoop with balls on hand. A toy vending machine and bubble-gum machine add a dash of magic to the day.
Restaurant & Bar
Refuel without leaving the lodge. Our restaurant serves wood-fired pizzas, easy pub favourites, draughts and cocktails, perfect after pool time or before a local outing. Indoor seating looks out onto the pools and slide, and there are pool tables inside for friendly challenges.
Braai Area & Spit Braai Hire
Fire up an afternoon together at our designated braai area next to the pool, with cold drinks served to you from our bar.
Planning something bigger? Ask about spit braai hire, ideal for family gatherings, club meets or team events.
Meet Our Miniature Donkeys
Our two friendly miniature donkeys roam freely around the lodge and sometimes appear near the swimming pools. They love to interact, but please approach with caution and respect.
Safety & Ease
The lodge is well fenced and secure, 24-hour security, safe parking, nice paths, and proximity to major transport routes. So whether you’re arriving late or heading out early, you feel looked after.
