The staff were so helpful and welcoming, amazing service from all. The tent was extremely comfortable, couldn't wish for anything better. The outdoor shower and big bathtub were a real bonus. Food was delicious. We were late coming from dinner to our evening game drive so they waited for us to come back and gave us desert back at our tent. Would definitely stay again.

We loved the attention to detail! Beautifully appointed, this guest Lodge lacks nothing. Our room was luxurious, the lodge itself spacious and well decorated. We loved the huge outside patio, perfect for lounging in the sun or stargazing at night. The hosts helped us with activities and restaurants. Good location . A very enjoyable stay!

Only 10 km from the famous Cango Caves, De Poort Country Lodge offers self-catering accommodation. A continental breakfast is available on order at an extra charge and only available as room service. The lodge is opposite a game farm, surrounded by mountains and a river.

The best thing about the property is the hostess Elna. She and her husband run the place with a lot of love for hospitality. This is typically why we prefer a bed & breakfast/lodge type of place over a hotel. Apart from the warm welcome, Elna gave us some amazing information on the area and some sightseeing we could do. This made all the difference for our stay.

Located 20 km from Oudtshoorn, Zwartberg View Mountain Lodge is nestled amongst mountains and the famous red hills. This tranquil retreat offers walking and hiking trails.

For guest at the lodge, The Zwartberg View Mountain Lodge serves a full English breakfast.

Stop looking further and book the Zwartberg Mountain View Lodge, it is magnificent! We stayed for two nights with our four children (9-14 yrs) and absolutely loved the lodge, the view, the animals on the grounds, the pool, the braai dinners and the walking trail. Varley and Hannalize are fantastic and helpful hosts and we very much enjoyed talking to them about life in SA as well as the many great sites in the area. We could easily have stayed another night or two. A highlight on our trip. Easy accessible with any car. Hope that we will visit again one day!

    Super overnight stop over in really comfy rooms - the beds were great. The setting is beautiful with lovely views and walks. Could happily have stayed for a few days.

    Our two days are Klein Karoo Game Lodge were absolutely fantastic. The service was excellent. We loved the location and the free-roaming animals. The spacious and modern mountain-view rooms were a pleasant surprise. The highlight for our family was the animals!

    Beautifully quiet and peaceful location with springbok and meerkats regularly coming by to say hello! Despite the very rural location, some way down a gravel track from the owners house, it felt very secure. We ate at Bella Cibo, which was excellent and at Nostalgia which had excellent service and lovely South African dishes. Both were extremely busy and reservations are definitely advisable.  We also loved eating dinner and breakfast at Buffelsdrift Game Lodge, overlooking the water hole, where we saw both hippo and giraffe!

    A mountain retreat which feels like 5 star treatment. The owners looked after us personally and made sure we did not want for anything.we viewed the wild animal feeding from the terrace with drinks whilst warmed by the log fire. Dinner and breakfast was delicious again with great service . The rooms were a short stroll away under a clear starlit sky which was awesome The room was like your personal safari lodge with a super mountain view and sightings of the wildlife including a giraffe.

    The lodge is nicely located, close to Oudtshoorn but it still feels like in the middle of nature. The staff members were very kind and helpful. We stayed in a charming bungalow next to a little pond, it was a different kind of lodging experience which was nice. We enjoyed the food at the restaurant and breakfast was good, too. It‘s nice to go for a walk around the hotel to see the different animals.

    Breakfast was superb, array of choice from bacon and eggs to fresh pastry’s and yogurt with fruit and cold meats and cheese. Staff were welcoming and friendly - special mention to Xavier who stood out! The lodge itself was superb! Can’t beat waking up in nature with the birds singing and hippos communicating! View from our tent was tops and special mention to Juan our guide on the bush safari - what a great experience and Tiaan our guide on the Meerkat experience. We really felt treated and relaxed 😎 didn’t want to leave!
