Nature Lodge

What a fabulous place! We really liked the bungalows, they were comfortable and spacious, the food was very tasty, it’s an excellent location with lovely views. We traveled for five weeks in Madagascar and this was our favorite stay. Very convenient to Amber Mountain, which has good walking and animal viewing. The nearby village is also an interesting place to see — we went to lunch there and then had an easy walk back to Nature Lodge.

nature lodge has a fantastic staff! Multi lingual, friendly and attentive. The cabins are comfortable and the views are lovely. You can see the mountains and the sea from the veranda. The food is hyper local and fresh. The ginger calamari is worth asking for.

We had two nights in the Nature Lodge and it was the best place we stayed in our 3 week trip. It is very calm and peaceful, the gardens are lovely, and the views superb. The chalets are well equipped and comfortable. We enjoyed excellent cocktails on the veranda and our vegetarian meals exceeded expectations. All the staff manage to mix friendliness with efficiency so the service was great. We were even able to request Malagasy music to be played whilst dining. They also accept credit cards so we could enjoy the luxury of a bottle of wine. We experienced the Amber Mountains and the Red Tsingy whilst staying here, both are well worth a visit.

Nature Lodge, just out of the village Joffreville, is perhaps mostly chosen because of its great location at the border of Amber Mountain National Park. But the high level of hospitality you find here, could make you doubt between a ‘walk in the park’ and getting the royal treatment at your lodge. The beautiful wooden lodges with leaf roofs are spread around the borders of a well maintained park, where you can find species of wildlife at your doorstep. Stunning green Gekko’s accompany you everywhere (be happy with it, they eat the bugs!), but you can also be surprised by a beautiful Panther Chameleon in the trees at night. The lodges are tastefully decorated and have king size double beds with mosquitoetents all around. A spacious bathroom is included, as well as a big terrace with a stunning view at Amber Mountain, the Indian Ocean and the lagoons at Diego Suarez. The whole setup is eco friendly, with electricity from solar panels, water from An own source and hot water also with solar heating. And this is just about the scenery and the splendid accommodation. What really makes this place perfect, is the magnificent staff. From the friendly reception to the attention you get by every need you might have - the management and the staff are kind and there to make your stay unforgettable. And did I say the restaurant is top notch? They have great choices on the menu and are always willing to adjust to your preferences.

This fancy hotel is very nice with very nice service and amazing views over the area. The food is very tasty and as it is very close to Amber Mountain national park is this a great place to sleep. The rooms are spacious and you have a nice balcony. In the hotel are many Madagascar day geckos which made the experience a very nice one.

This is a lovely lodge with beautiful views from your chalet balcony. My partner wasn't feeling well during our stay here so we didn't get to enjoy dinner but it smelled delicious & I really enjoyed the breakfasts. Staff were lovely & offered to get him a special tea to help settle his stomach. This was a lovely peaceful setting with a touch of luxury & a great place to stay to explore nearby Amber Mountain. We had some very good wildlife sightings on our night-time walk on the road just outside the lodge. The only thing I think which could be improved is the seating on the balcony. The wooden chairs are very heavy to move to sun/shade depending on your desire & aren't the most comfortable but we really enjoyed our stay here

Lovely hotel in a beautiful position. Gorgeous views from the cabins. The cabins were very comfortable - we had the company of 3 geckos but they didn’t bother us. The beds were comfy and the food was excellent. Excellent position to access the Montaigne d’Ambre national park. Very good!!

Wonderful hotel!! We absolutely adored our stay here - a stunning view, delicious food (both dinner and breakfast) fantastically friendly staff and lovely bungalow! Would have loved to stay longer !!!

Beautifully presented lodges with great views. Food was excellent. Loved the home cultured yoghurt. Although no kettle in room (due to nature of eco elec supply) was hot water in vacuum flask with various teas/coffee. Great place for exploring the nearby amber rainforest national park
