Each room includes air conditioning, a ceiling fan, and a private bathroom. The cottages have a kitchenette with a fridge-freezer, a seating area with TV, and a balcony or patio. Rooms are spacious and well equipped for a comfortable stay.

The on-site restaurant serves breakfast and dinner. Breakfast includes cereals, hot dishes, juices, and coffee. Dinner offers a selection of local and international dishes, including steak and pasta. Guests can also have drinks at the bar. For those who cook, the cottages have kitchen facilities. The restaurant requires dinner orders by 3 PM. Some guests recommend having dinner at the lodge, especially because hippos roam the streets at night.

Onsite activities include a library and a free shuttle to Sugar Beach. The lodge works with ShakaBarker Tours to arrange safaris, river cruises, and night drives. Guests can see hippos from the property at night, and staff will alert you if they pass by.
