While the world was taking a pause because of the pandemic, at the award-winning Mimosa Lodge in Montagu, they took some time to make the lodge more welcoming for those seeking relaxation in the Little Karoo.
Besides putting in place various protocols to protect both their guests and their staff, Mimosa Lodge also recently unveiled new additions to their facilities.
