    Nothing we didn't like. Aa a development perhaps, a swimming pool would be great. We thought of swimming in the river but it was running a bit too fast for the kids. Amazing views though.

    We were a family group os 5 adults and 5 kids (ranging from 14-5 years old). They loved being able to roam free and safely in the large area around the chalets, and went off on adventures. For adults, we especially loved the amazing views of the river and the sunsets; the peace and quiet; the birds, and of course visiting the Quagga and other animals on the game drive. An easy journey from Cape Town, and we did a good day out to Langebaan area too. Excellent stay. Thank you all.

    We went on Easter, so at the very beginning, not that hot. Nonetheless, the thermometer reached 32 °C on Saturday . It was boiling hot, and the beautiful house but, with metal roof, and the lack of aircon, lead to a not pleasant experience. Avoid summer. Better go in winter and enjoy the chimney

    I enjoyed very much the quality of all the items in the unit. Very good quality. Very good views. Extremely nice owners. Everything so clean! And quite, peaceful. Amazing

    Nothing can compare to the fresh air you feel here, the stars at night is just something everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime. The facility is excellent and you can find complete peace here. The view from the houses and the big open spaces around you makes you feel so free. Thank you Lermitage we had an absolute blast!

    The rooms are extremely hot due to the positioning of a transom window above the beds. Whoever designed this really does not know how hot the West Coast is in summer! The blinds do not fully close due to their design and, of course, the sun rises on the transom, waking you up early in the morning - great if you are an early bird, but not if you just want to relax in bed or laze around enjoying the views. I think it must be great in winter!

    Lovely place with excellent facilities - a real get-away-from-it-all. We really enjoyed our game drive and evening walks, as well as the views to the river. Very peaceful. The houses are spaced far enough apart that one had privacy.

    No ramp for a wheelchair and easier access for the elderly.

    The accommodation and facilities were of a very high standard . The location and placement of the chalet was excellent. The views were outstanding. All the staff were very helpful and welcoming with excellent communications throughout our stay . We loved the safari drive and were lucky enough to see the Buffalo. Heinrich and Thomas were excellent guides and very knowledgeable.

    Lermitage Game Lodge is a place that we will definitely visit again. This time for a longer stay. The unit is beautiful with stunning views in all directions. A person cannot describe the peace and tranquility that we experienced. Close enough to Port Owen for any items that may have been forgotten, but far enough away so as not to be disturbed.

    During summer it gets quite hot and the fans in the place do very little in the living area. However I know it's off grid and aircon is unrealistic so I understood. However I would suggest a pool like thing near by to at least take a dip in to cool down as an alternate option.

    The place is quiet and clean, a really wonderful place to rest and relax. The place was well kitted, and the open plan was delightful. Close proximity to the animals and game drive was a delight. The management were also super attentive and dedicated to service which was great! Even though the wind blew ridiculously which kept us inside a few days but that didn't take away from the rest and enjoyment.

    Unfortunately the Internet was down during my stay (technical difficulties). The access road could also be a challenge for normal (2-wheel drive) véhicles when it is raining heavily.

    A well equippped chalet on a beautiful property. The views of the river from the main living space and both bedrooms is gorgeous. The host are helpful and accomodating.

    Lovely location next to the Berg river. The lodges are spacious and very well designed with windows on all aspects to give lots of light and views over the countryside. They are well equipped, and very clean. The managers are keen to ensure that everything is very enjoyable. It is lovely to see the quaggas and other animals as well as the bird life on the river. Apparently, September is the season to see all the flowers.
