Grace Lodge is a decent looking lodge, with decent food and friendly staff. The location towards the national park is also great, it's virtually right next door from the park. The thing what's dissapointing is that hot water wasn't available for the 3 nights we stayed there, and the staff (although trying) couldn't sort it out. Next to that, the... More

We stayed here for 2 nights during our time visiting Andasibe National park. The bungalows are compact but plenty of room for you and your things with chairs outside to relax on. The bathroom was also lovely and clean. The owner was a very lovely hostess who took the time to show us around the garden area and served us... More

I booked a few nights here whilst I was exploring the park. On my first night though, I discovered that the manager was away and only a young girl was looking after the place. There were no other guests which I found quite strange. The rooms are quite a way from the reception / pool and as I was travellign... More

My tour company, Cactus Tours (amazing tour company), booked a night here, and it was perfect. The bungalows are huge, and the sound of the Indris will keep you riveted! The hostess was a perfect doll, and the food was fresh and good. I felt like family there.

We stayed a night, found Grace Lodge to be very peaceful but not really what we had expected. It looks tired but it was clean and the driveway from the main road would even be a challenge for a 4WD vehicle let-alone a car. Yes, Henriette is a most congenial lady but should you take milk or would like a... More

Henriette greeted us and gave us a warm friendly welcome. The photos of grace lodge do not show that it is in bad need of some maintenance. The long drive way full of large pot holes. Which ment it took over 30 mins by car to get to the reserve to see the Limas. Also the door to our cabin... More

The first and the most thing we liked about was the attitude of the nice Lady who takes care of the guest - Henriette is an adorable person, very helpful, cordial and professional. She can arrange a guide to the national park, find a driver, book places for taxi-brousse... everything for you! The place itself is ok, quite huge territory,... More

Grace Lodge was a very lovely place to stay while visiting Andasibe. It is about a 30 minute walk to the park, along a dirt road (which basically describes all roads in Madagascar) but you can still hear the Indri in the morning. The hostess Henriette is wonderful, and makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. We showed up at 9:30pm... More

I concur with all the positive comments regarding this lodge. The manager was superb and graceful to all - she made the place what it is with her hospitality. My cabin was decorated with good taste and care, geared to making the traveler at home. I would definitely rate this as a top level Madagascar country type accommodation. The 5... More

Me and three friends stayed in the lodge for 11 days and loved every second. The food was local, no menu but the host, Henriette was determined to make up feel at home by asking about dietry needs and asking us what we would like to eat. This made us feel immersed in the local culture, eating zebu and local... More
