Amazing views at the lodge, and amazing activities. We went on the rhino tracking activity and it was incredible: we saw a rhino mom and her baby, and we actually followed them on foot for a little while. We also loved the guided walk & sundowner drive, which both had unbelievable views. Even sitting on the patio at the lodge, the views were stunning. Highly recommend this place. Only thing to be aware of is that the internet doesn’t work in the individual rooms, only at the main lodge (and even there it’s spotty). However, with such views you don’t need internet!

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Clearly overrated accommodation. Only the view is very good. Otherwise: Staff partly overworked and mostly not very helpful and friendly. Food mediocre. Room simple, bathroom (shower head, drain) very dirty, cheapest sanitary equipment. All in all, at best recommended as a stopover if you can't find anything else.

Einzigartige Lage auf dem Grootbergplateau. Einzeln stehende Chalets, alle mit tollem Blick in die Landschaft. Sehr ruhig. Schöne Terrasse am Hauptgebäude. Gesetztes Abendessen statt nervigem Buffet. Sehr gute, abwechslungsreiche Küche. Auffahrt mit 4x4 problemlos. Personal mit gebremster Herzlichkeit. Neue Matratzen wären schön.

All about the view

The positioning of the lodge is its defining freaturr as the views are spectacular and available from every room and the main building. The quality of the food was high with a set menu and 'fine dining' feel. The track up to the lodge is steep and a 4x4 is needed if you don't take the lodge's lift. The activities offered are a little limited and at the upper end of the prices of other lodges. The overall value for money is less than some lodges, but if you like views it's worth it.

Wichtige Details werde im Beschrieb nicht erwähnt

Leider wurden wir in unseren Erwartungen arg enttäuscht. Viele Dinge die in dieser Preisklasse selbstverständlich sind wurden nicht erfüllt. Die Koffer mussten fast ohne Hilfe über einen unwegsamen Steinweg zu Chalet getragen werden. Das Chalet hatte keinerlei Strom, sodass die Handys im Hauptgebäude aufgeladen werden mussten. Die Lodge bietet nichts als eine gute (nicht wahnsinnig gute) Aussicht. Die Auffahrt zur Lodge ist relativ gefährlich und sollte nur von geübten 4x4 Fahrern in Angriff genommen werden. Wir sind bereits nach einer Nacht vorzeitig wieder abgereist

Grossartige Lodge mit fantastischer Aussicht. Wir waren nur für eine Nacht hier, hätten uns aber einen längeren Aufenthalt gewünscht. Einzig die Tatsache dass der Pool infolge Bauarbeiten nicht in Betrieb war hat den Gesamteindruck etwas getrübt. Nichtsdestotrotz kann ich die Lodge uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

mooie plek, matige lodge

Fantastische ligging op een bergrug met uitzicht op het dal. De laatste 800 meter omhoog is een uitdaging en alleen met 4 x 4 te doen. Maar alternatief transport is aanwezig. Het personeel is vriendelijk, de hutjes zijn leuk bedacht maar klein en stoffig door het rieten dak. Er is geen enkel stopcontact in de hut, opladen in het hoofdgebouw. Het pad tussen de hutjes is hobbelig, goed uitkijken in het donker. Het diner was ronduit slecht. Ontbijt (als pakket) ook maar matig. Zwembad lijkt leuk maar is klein en maar 4 bedjes. Prijs/kwaliteit in mijn optiek slecht. Wifi in het hoofdgebouw was matig.

Views for days

The most amazing view of the valley! Amazing food! Amazing service! Pro or con depending on what type of traveler you are: extremely limited wifi and power plugs, a very steep ascent to get to the property (we had a 4WD but if you don’t they will help you get to the lodge)
