What makes Jacana’s luxury self-catering lodge in Mpumalanga different?
There are many reasons why we can confidently say that we are not like your average luxury self-catering lodge in Mpumalanga. And it is not just because we are situated in the heart of the beautiful Mjejane Private Nature Reserve.
At most other luxury lodges, self-catered or not, guests are usually greeted by reception staff and have a reception team available at the lodge to help them. At Jacana, while we have staff available, they are not at the lodge itself. We’ve arranged the lodge this way so that our guests get to enjoy the maximum amount of privacy throughout their stay.
The lodge does have cleaning staff available, and should you have any additional requirements, you can contact the lodge team to discuss your specific needs.
Jacana River Lodge’s luxury Mpumalanga accommodation self catered character is perfect for the more independent adventurer and if you are looking to make your next holiday in the Mjejane a special one, you should consider making Jacana your temporary home away from home. For more information or to make your booking, you can do so via our website or by getting in touch with us.
