Introduction
Cinnamon Lodge, a hotel favoured by independent travellers and upmarket package groups, is blessed with a tranquil and picturesque 27-acre wooded location next to a beautiful lake. The large gardens are filled with gigantic tropical trees and waterways that provide home to a variety of birds, grey monkeys and rock squirrels. The layout of the hotel is similar to the ancient cities of the Cultural Triangle where individual dwellings and central public areas, connected by meandering pathways, are set in rural surroundings. Luxurious two-storey chalets with verandahs and balconies complete a feeling of comfort and relaxation.
Accommodation

The newly-refurbished two-storey chalets follow the traditional architectural style with columns and verandahs, cooling terracotta floors and clay tiles on the roof. Accommodation is scattered through the expansive gardens and comes in the form of superior rooms, deluxe rooms and suites. The spacious and comfortable rooms have ensuite bathrooms and a verandah or balcony overlooking the lake or garden. The room interiors follow a traditional colour palate of ochre, saffron and olive green with antique bed heads, couches and planter's chairs. The beds are dressed in luxurious linen with your choice of pillows to be selected from the pillow menu. Other facilities include individual a/c, IDD phone, minibar, satellite TV, internet facilities, coffee/tea making facilities, and electronic safe.

Superior Rooms: The 72 superior rooms are situated on the ground floor or first floor of some of the chalets. The layout consists of a bedroom, living room and ensuite bathroom with large shower area with hot and cold water.

Deluxe Rooms: The 40 deluxe rooms are located on the ground floor or first floor of some of the chalets. The layout consists of a bedroom, living room and stylish bathroom with bathtub and separate shower area. In-room Spa treatments and a butler service are available upon request.

Suite Rooms: This newly created accommodation occupies an entire chalet with the master bedroom upstairs and a second bedroom on the ground floor. The Suites also have an exquisite lounge and dinging area with marvellous views of the gardens, and the serene lake beyond. The luxurious furniture, hardwood floors, and interiors adorned with rare antique ornaments and wood carvings, makes for a cozy home away from home. The ensuite bathrooms have 'his' and 'hers' vanities, bathtub and separate shower area.
