Very cute place, clean, tidy and you feel safe, especially with 18 lions around you.
Would definitely recommend Cheetau Lodge for a peaceful weekend getaway, good friendly service and great experience to get up close and see big cats like lions, tigers and leopards. The breakfast we had was definitely worth it too, nothing too fancy or dry, very tasty, will definitely go back again.

The lions make it something different.
The accommodation was excellent and the service good. The only thing I have experienced is when you have looked at and have visited the lions there is not much to do, I am not a person who likes to be indoors and would like to go for a walk or even a bench or two to sit on and admire the nature and the lions. Thanks again for a pleasant weekend.

Middag Dion,
Ek is bly jy het dit geniet by Cheetau Lodge. Daar is wel 'n staproete op die berg agter die huis. Dan is daar orals tussen die leeuhokke sitplekke. Ons het stompe gepak asook sandsteen blokke gesit om so na aan die natuur as moontlik te bly.
Groete

Not suitable for business
For a family trip it is worth it, but not for business guests. The reception was slow as well as the check-in procedure. There was confusion about my reservation as well as the number of guests. Breakfast was also slow in the mornings. The waitress served me on Sunday morning already chewing (mouth full of food).

Wonderful, warm, warm and welcoming. It was like going back to your parent's house after a long absence.
It was everything we dreamed of a short holiday. The lodge is conveniently located near Bethlehem, Clarence and Golden Gate, but quiet enough for a great rest. On top of that, the surroundings are breathtakingly beautiful. The lodge's staff are wonderful and go out of their way to make your stay memorable. We enjoyed the most delicious breakfasts and meals at the restaurant which boasts a beautiful view of the pond and its animals. Cheetau Lodge's animals are in tip-top and excellent condition and one can clearly see that the animals are the owners' priority and pride. They are animal lovers par excellence. Even our traveling cat, Walter, was warmly and kindly received. We will definitely go there again.

It was half a heart attack to be roared awake at half past three in the morning, only to find yourself surrounded by lions, cheetahs and tigers. It was breathtaking and the room was also very nice. Breakfast was delicious with a large variety to choose from.

Hospitable welcome.
Must say 1 night is far too short. Must stay for at least a full weekend. The fact that the lions are so close makes you feel like you are in nature itself. Must say very neat and pleasant place to be. Would go again anytime. I have already recommended it to friends and they have already booked, that's how great the experience was for us.

Incredible experience and beautiful place to stay in nature among the lions.
Our stay at Cheetau Lodge was an incredible experience. All of us including my 5 year old daughter really enjoyed the nature and the little lion cubs as well as the ducks and divers and turtles around the pond. Didn't realize we were literally living among the lions, sounded like they were roaring in front of us! The staff is very friendly and the restaurant's food was delicious! Recommend this stay to any one.

Long weekend visit.
Cheetau is refreshingly different with the big cats that live right on your doorstep. The accommodation was very spacious especially with 2 small children, but it needs a bit of renovation work. The breakfast was very good and was served as a buffet in the restaurant. The lodge is also a convenient distance from Clarens and Golden Gate for day trips.
