Beautiful well kept lodge in tranquil surroundings. The host Holger was very hospitable.

Acra was out of the way but a good halfway point between Jo and Kr. Rough road. A very mom & pop operation. Lovely sunrise. Missed dinner and breakfast due to our schedule. Communication issues between the two proprietors (we told one when we checked in that we'd be leaving early, which he says was okay, but the woman who is usually up early apparently wasn't informed so nobody was around when we needed to check out) led to a delayed and awkward early-morning departure.

We only stayed a single night on the way to Johannesburg airport, but we enjoyed all of it. Wonderful room with fantastic views and a G/T on the terrace. Nice homecooked dinner and breakfast and overall just great service. We felt very welcome. Only downside was that the mosquitoes were as happy to see us as Holger and Norma. Glad this is not a malaria area.

Diese Lodge liegt inmitten der Natur und bietet den perfekten Zwischenstopp von Johannesburg zum Krüger Nationalpark (je ca 2.30h). Es ist einfach fantastisch, entspannend und das Abendessen und Frühstück wird mit Liebe zubereitet. Top Lodge!!

Tolle Unterkunft in den Bergen mit sehr freundlichen und hilfsbereiten Gastgebern. Perfekt für einen kurzen oder auch längeren Zwischenstopp auf dem Weg von Johannesburg zum Krüger oder für einen entspannten Aufenthalt in der Region. Wir behalten den Aufenthalt in bester Erinnerung und bleibe in Kontakt bzw. kommen auch sehr gerne wieder!

We only stayed overnight, but the experience was wonderful. Even though virtually the middle of Winter, the Accra Bed & Breakfast was an experience that I would love to live over again and again. The views were stunning and the attention from the staff was exceptional. The food was great and we ate dinner next to a open fire place. It was wonderful. I have never seen my partner smile so much.

ここは友達４人で泊ったが、宿の設備等もいいし朝食もフルーツが盛りだくさんでよかった。 ただ、チェックインの時にやたらとドリンクのオーダーを進めてきて今特に要らないと伝えるとこれはノーマネー、フリーだからなんでも注文していいと言ってきた。 ウエルカムドリンクなのかと思ったが、サイトにそんな記述はなかったしなんでもオーダーできる時点で僕は疑問だったが、同行した仲間たちがオーダーしはじめたので僕もジュースをオーダーした。 翌日チェクアウトの時、明細にちゃっかり昨日のドリンク代金の記述があり問い合わせたが、昨日のオーナーは今居ないからわからないと言われた。 どうやらこの宿は３人のオーナーがいるらしい。 １人数百円程度なのでま～いいかと思い払ったが、やられたと思った。 あと宿代の５０％が予約時にカード決済されてるはずなのに全額請求された。 朝食代も込になっていたはずなのに１人約１４００円請求された。 この二点は金額も大きいのでエクスペディアサイトの英語記述とカード決済画面を見せて納得させた。 これらの点は注意して宿泊した方がいいです。
