    Last day teenagers had left beers bottles, knives, old meat packets etc out in front of the breakfast club house. They walked past multiple times and didn't care, typical teenager. I contacted Graham to let him know and it was dealt with my the staff.

    On arrival, jacuzzi was hot and going, even Ice in the ice bucket!, Graham was an exceptional host!, They catered for us and the food was incredible proper home style food with lots of variety, highly suggest the catering. Cleaning staff are very thorough in their clean even dusting exterior windows and cleaning the entire deck around the place. Mopping all floors, honestly blown away by how well they do their job, big ups to them!!

    Nothing. Oh the one thing I ddnt like is that I couldn’t stay for longer.

    Absolutely everything! The place was everything it promised to be and more; the pictures don’t do it justice. The service from Slindile, Christopher and I think Siya from the horse ride was fantastic. I really enjoyed my stay and definitely coming back very soon.

    You feel like in the middle of a nature reserve, it’s unbelievably beautiful!!! Stunning views to the mountain range, the lake, the Zebras strolling by the house, the hiking opportunities on the estate - literally in your backyard. We had a wonderful stay and would very much love to stay there again!

    Breakfast was taken in the boat house by the lake. the choice of food, hot and cold was good, with the hot food prepared fresh. I really loved the omelettes. The staff were very friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make you feel welcome. The lodge even organised a day tour up into Lesotho via the Sani Pass for us, and the company they chose was very good. The grounds to the lodge were very extensive with zebra and red hartebeest roaming freely around- we even had a small herd of zebra outside our cabin one night, which I managed to capture on my trail camera. Bird life was excellent too. A wonderful quiet location and so relaxing.

    More variety of onsite activities would be great A kiosk onsite that could sell some key household items because the location is isolated and the nearest shops are quite a distance away to go to whenever you need something urgently.

    The views and location were amazing and the host was very professional and super helpful. The cleaner was very accomodating and pleasant. The house is gorgeous and in line with the theme and feel of the location

    I would’ve liked some pastry options for breakfast and hot chocolate for the people who don’t drink coffee & tea. Some blankets on the couch would also be nice.

    Amazing, breathtaking views. Very comfortable with everything you need. The most magical experience in the hot tub, looking at the mountains and the lake. We really enjoyed booking the petrol boat and being able to explore the lake at sunset.

    It was very special having our own fireplace and outside jacuzzi. Also, having dinner delivered to our door for us to eat in our chalet was very welcome. The breakfast in the nearby clubhouse was good. Sadly it rained heavily throughout our stay so we weren’t able to explore the area on foot.

    The road in definitley needs some work, it should not be attempted with a normal car, something with a bit of ground clearance is absolutley required.

    The scenery is absolutley amazing, really lovley location to relax in and take in nature. Absolutley wonderful rooms and staff as well. We really enjoyed it, and the special attention they gave us.
