What our guests say

It is always heartwarming to receive such wonderful feedback from our guests…

Heaven is not necessarily “Hemel op Tafelberg”. Nor overseas necessarily. It can be just on your porch with only a 90minute flight… Having a harsh winter with temps dropping to -6 degrees, we just HAD to escape (albeit amidst menopause & all) to:
Sea water temp of 25 – 26 degrees
And days of 27 degree day temp
Secluded snorkelling spot
R & R’s
Best seafood
etc…
Heavenly bliss.”
Madelyn De Kock Badenhorst, July 2024.

Today, is exactly a month l ago we checked in at Massinga Beach Lodge for a few days of relaxation and rejuvenation. We are still in awe of the fantastic time we had at your lodge and look forward to return in the near future. We wish to express our deepest gratitude to you as management but also in particular to all the staff we interacted with and those behind the scenes for very top class service, kindness and hospitality shown to us. We miss the incredible luncheons and scrumptious dinners and impeccable service at all times. As said on our departure we look forward to returning in the near future.

We had such an amazing time at the resort! You guys were amazing! The staff were excellent and so friendly! Beach was outstanding and the rooms were so comfy! If I could rate the food and service more than 5 stars, I definitely would! We keep talking about the trip and the kids just want to come back to Massinga and surf/board/snorkel again! Was an incredible holiday.”

Amazing getaway. I was fortunate enough to be invited by a friend to visit Massinga beach lodge and it was absolutely amazing from the hosts to the super friendly staff, beautiful wooden chalets and views views views. We spent 5 nights there and I have to say it was like being on a remote island away from all the stresses of life eating wonderful food and drinking local beers. I also have to compliment Mozambique Travel for organizing our trip we could not have been looked after better.”
Trip Advisor review, 2024.

We really want to thank the whole staff of the lodge for making our honeymoon even more beautiful and unforgettable. Your kindness and your smiles help making this amazing land to become even more special. We will never forget this place or any of you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”
Morena & Adriana, Italy.

I just would like to say THANKS for your work for our group in May 2022! They enjoyed their stay so much and they like the lodge and the staff very much! Thanks a lot for everything!”
Sabrina from Switzerland

ABSOLUTE HEAVEN! I don’t even know where to start. The location is perfect, the food is amazing and the service is OUTSTANDING! Ian and his entire team really went out of their way to make our stay wonderful. Nothing was ever too big an ask for them. We went to celebrate my birthday in April. Ian organized a private surprise dinner for my husband and I in our room, and I even got a specially baked birthday cake 🙂 The only reason I’ve rated 5 stars is because that is the maximum rating. They truly deserve way more. Thank you Ian and team for the perfect stay. We will definitely be back!”

“A magnificent break in paradise. Holiday in paradise. The beaches, professional service and wonderful cuisine is enough to revitalise one. Waking up each morning greeted by a spectacular sun rise filled our souls with gladness and gratitude. The staff is well trained, unobtrusive, friendly and totally accommodating. We left feeling relaxed, revived and totally pampered.”
Trip Advisor, May 2022.

“Heaven on Earth! Where to start! 🙂 The hotel is situated in the most beautiful setting, overlooking long white, untouched beaches with tons of natural beauty all around. The treatment we received from the manager was nothing less than VIP! Each day Ian would assist us in setting up activities, from scuba diving at a nearby dive centre (Peri Peri Dive Centre – also great!), to snorkeling to massages on our own private deck. Each day we selected our meals for the day, and each day they added a special veggie option for me. The food was delicious (especially the seafood as advised by my non-veggie husband:). All the staff were also so amazingly helpful and friendly – by the time we left (after 1 week) it felt like family 🙂 We really can’t recommend Massinga Beach Lodge enough!”

Wonderful place, definitely going back. My wife and I had the most incredible long stay at Massinga. The resort is very secluded, in a truly beautiful location right at the ocean (you drive a while to get there but it’s totally worth it). Ian, Eugenio, Joachim and genuinely the whole team provide very good service, and everyone is super friendly and attentive. We had quite a long stay of almost two weeks, and so we were pleasantly surprised to see a different menu with great food (especially the seafood options!) every day including great buffet spreads on New Year’s and Christmas Eve, and a great standard breakfast – the chefs are great! We got to stay in the honeymoon suite which is extra large with plenty of space and things to do for a long stay, including our own pool and lounge looking over the ocean.”
Trip Advisor, January 2022.

Very relaxing. Some chalets have elevated views over the beach, romantic decor and plunge pool. There is a beach bar with a swimming pool very well integrated into the landscape and very pleasant. The lodge has transportation to take guests to the beach.” AP Nunes, Portugal. November 2021.

Worldclass Hospitality. If there was an extra star, I would give it to Massinga Beach Lodge. From the luxurious rooms overlooking the beautiful Indian Ocean, to the amazing staff who welcomed us so warmly and treated us like queens throughout out stay. Special mention has to go to the chef, the menu options were different every single day and each meal is prepared with excellence. Our driver Domingos was always available to take us wherever we wanted to go, and even carried our luggage into our room! Hosnestly, the entire experience of Massinga Beach Lodge is worth every cent, and I would love to come back for the royal treatment and breathtaking views. Ian and his team of dedicated employees really outdid themselves every single day we spent here. Thank you for this experience.”  Sipho, South Africa. October 2021

What a paradise! Just want to say thank you for the great service…Eugenio, Vilankulos, Domingo, the chef and everyone. Thank you for the upgrade to the best luxurious villa, number 17. Everything was perfect, best seafood, water pressure on the shower, pool on the deck, massage in the room… Massinga Beach Lodge is beautiful, offers visitors the best beach experience and it’s serene! Really loved it!” Nandala, South Africa. October 2021
