It was peaceful
The beds,this thing of combining 2 single beds doesn’t work.I ended up falling inside the space in between.It wasn’t comfortable at all.Everything was fine but the beds didn’t work for us.

I liked the place and would love to book again for my next visit to Durban.
Jared waited to welcome us despite the time we arrived there. The room was clean, air-conditioned, quiet place, safe street and there is hot water.
Everything was fine.

Questions about Virginia Forest Lodge

What time is check-in and check-out at Virginia Forest Lodge?

Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Virginia Forest Lodge allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Virginia Forest Lodge?

Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.

Does Virginia Forest Lodge have a pool?

Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.

Does Virginia Forest Lodge have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Virginia Forest Lodge have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

Can I check in late at Virginia Forest Lodge?

The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 2:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.

How do I book Virginia Forest Lodge?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
