    Well! Nothing to complain about. Our experience was wonderful.

    The enitre place is amazing! They have lovely 6 dogs in the property who are absolutely adorable. They make the place lively. The whole setup is very beautiful and peaceful. The lodges are very nice and cozy. There is everything you will need in the kitchen too. Also the owners are very helpful and nice people to deal with. We loved everything about this place and would recommend everyone to stay here.

    Nothing not to like here other than we didn't have time to hang around more and light a braai.

    Beautiful location surrounded by green and mountains. Lovely welcoming people. Spot on accommodation for us and close to everywhere we wanted to go.

    The dogs on the property, my small kids were scared of them since they were a bit too friendly. But we obviously understand that they are part of the package.

    Great value Ben was a fantastic host

    The beds were too hard for us oldies.

    The garden was exceptionally beautiful with all the water, mountains and all the places were one could sit and relax. The owners were very accommodating to our needs and could be contacted via Whatsapp. They granted us lots of privacy. The manager, cleaners, gardeners and even the dogs were also very pleasant. A special thank you to the sons who let is in late at night and Grant who arranged a wonderful breakfast basket for our first morning. We’d love to come again. Thank you for the marvelous stay.

    Absolutely nothing! It was a perfect family property

    A really beautiful location and an immaculately clean large bungalow style property that we had the pleasure of spending 3 weeks in as a family of 5. There is a great outdoor play area for children and private and shared outdoor spaces plus a nice pool. The cleaning and maintenance staff could not be nicer and the owners were really welcoming and even provided our boys with two boxes of toys to use

    I didn't have time to enjoi enough the facilities. If I had known it was this good, I would have programed more time at the place. Wifi not stable. Absense of AC good for health, but annoying in the afternoon, in the room we were.

    Top staff, confort, breakfast, cleanliness. Absense of TV is strange, but it turned to be a good way to relax too.

    Our hosts Silvia and Grant were very friendly and accommodating. The Waterland Lodge is a perfect place with nice garden views. Our lovely cottage with a spacy terrace was neat and well equipped. The Waterland Lodge is situated in a great safe neighbourhood with close proximity to many sightseeings, awesome beaches, shops, restaurants and nature attractions (by car). Each morning we were pampered with tasty breakfasts – provided in a picnic basket. The numerous recommendations and MUST SEES to visit were so special and exciting. We loved our stay and definitely would like to return asap. Thank you very much Silvia and Grant & Waterland Lodge team for your kind attention, helpful advice, especially making our wedding anniversary so memorable. “Hänsel and Gretel” - from Germany

    The serene setting of this establishment is absolute heaven. It is quiet and tranquil. It is 100% family friendly and so many things for the kids to do. Beds were unbelievably comfortable, and chalet was extremely clean. The hospitality of Mark and his family was exceptional, and they never hesitated to go there extra mile for me and my family.
