At our guest house, we believe tourism should be a force for good. That’s why we proudly partner with Transfrontier Parks Destinations (TFPD), an organization dedicated to responsible travel that uplifts people and preserves place.

Together with remarkable TFPD properties — including !Xaus Lodge, Witsieshoek Mountain Lodge, Awelani Lodge, and Piggs Peak Hotel — we share a commitment to leaving lasting, positive impacts. This means engaging with local communities in respectful, dignified ways, supporting cultural exchange, and choosing environmentally sustainable practices that allow natural landscapes to thrive.

We also prioritise local procurement, helping small businesses grow and ensuring the benefits of tourism are felt where they matter most — right here at home.

When you stay with us, you’re not just booking a room — you’re supporting a movement for meaningful, responsible travel.

Moonglow is 4-star TGCSA graded and recently awarded a TripAdvisor certificate of excellence. We are also Fair Trade Tourism certified.
