Dear Management 

My name is Mandla Mabale, a Deloitte consultant from South Africa and I have made Arebbusch a home away from home for a while now as I have been doing a lot of consulting work for Bank Windhoek.

I just want to express my satisfaction with the level of comfort and service that we always receive at the Lodge, it is always professional and it is the reason Arebbusch has become our choice of lodging whenever we are in Windhoek.

I personally have been staying at the lodge from around February 2011 or even earlier and stay for elongated periods of time with each visit as my work arrangements require me to be in Namibia on weekends as well.

A colleague of mine Khaya Mbanga has also been staying at the lodge for quite some time now and as of last week we are  joined by about 3 or 4 other Deloitte consultants following our recommendation of the lodge.

I trust that this mail will find you well and we look forward to great business. 

Kind regards,

Mandla Nobby Mabale
