Your Tranquil Escape in the Heart of KwaNdebele
About Us
Established in 2015 by Mrs. Betty Thidiela, Loding Lodge & Conference Centre is a proudly black woman-owned hospitality gem nestled in the culturally rich village of Loding, under the Dr JS Moroka Municipality in Mpumalanga. Inspired by her 15-year journey in catering and events, Mrs. Thidiela saw a need for a warm, peaceful retreat in her hometown — and brought it to life with heart, heritage, and hospitality.
Loding Lodge stands as a beacon of comfort and culture, just 20 km from the home of legendary artist Esther Mahlangu, 5 km from the scenic Mkhombo Dam, and a short drive from the Dinokeng Game Reserve, home to the Big Five.
We pride ourselves on offering more than just accommodation — we create an experience that celebrates the vibrant Amandebele culture, infused with authentic village charm, great food, and a relaxing atmosphere.
