Our stay at Madikela was everything we needed for us to recharge our batteries. The chalet was clean and very comfortable. The privacy of the chalets are also very nice.. The hot tub for us was the highlight...It was clean and well maintained with nice warm water any time of the day. We will definitely visit Madikela again.
