The lodge consists of a single house designed to accommodate one group at a time. During the month of December, guests can observe breeding birds and young warthogs roaming around the premises. The house features five en-suite bedrooms, an open-plan kitchen, a dining area with ample seating, and a lounge area equipped with comfortable seating and a flat-screen TV. Additionally, there is a guest toilet situated in the living area.

Outdoor amenities include braai facilities, a small swimming pool, and a carport capable of accommodating two vehicles. Braai wood can be supplied at an additional cost. Parental supervision is required for small children near the swimming pool area, as the establishment does not accept responsibility for any incidents.

Guests have the opportunity to participate in game drives within the reserve, and the Greater Mabalingwe area offers a farm stall with a large swimming pool, two tennis courts, and two squash courts. The Main Lodge features a restaurant, bar, and a heated swimming pool. Activities such as horse riding and archery can be booked at the reception.

For golfers, there are four golf courses located within a 20-kilometer radius of Mabalingwe. It is important to note that Paradise Lodge is situated within a game reserve, and guests are expected to respect the tranquility and peacefulness of the environment. Excessive noise and loud music are prohibited at all times, with a strict no-noise policy enforced after 10 PM to avoid potential fines.

The lodge accommodates up to 10 guests, and the minimum stay is two nights. Guests are permitted to engage in self-drive game viewing within the Mabalingwe Nature Reserve at no additional cost. Guided game drives with rangers can be booked at the Mabalingwe reception.

The lodge comprises five air-conditioned bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. The Honeymoon Suite is a separate unit but remains part of the main house, allowing guests to utilize the shared facilities. The house features an open-plan kitchen.
