The Crew…

When walking around the grounds at the lodge one sees that everything is well maintained. The pathways are always neat and tidy and the deck areas are always swept. The pool is clean and the umbrellas up. There are fresh pool towels every morning and the Gardens look great!

This makes one think about the guys behind the scenes. The guys who can fix nearly everything and anything and are always the first ones to carry the luggage to the room or change a lightbulb.20140623_121947_resized

The best way to describe them was written in one of our Trip advisor reviews where a previous guest referred to them as “Ninjas” I found this highly amusing and so very true. They are indeed “Vuyani Ninjas”20141018_102250_resized

Andries Mathebula and Krest Ndhlovu. These two friendly faces are seen at the lodge on a daily basis, usually with a broom, hammer or Garden hose in their hand. No task is too big or small for these guys and they play a vital role in the day to day running of the lodge.

Andries and Krest have their own little “Office” and this area is stocked with all the necessities. Once a week they do a “Spring Clean” and sort out every single nail, screw and paintbrush. This morning I snapped a quick photo mid clean, of them going about their business.

I am sure you will see them moving swiftly about the lodge during your stay with a big smile on their face, hardly noticed but an integral part of the team!
