Goed uitgerus, naby genoeg aan al die atraksies. Ons besoek was heerlik.

Baie gerieflik, mooi omgewing en die diens was persoonlik, hartlik en goeie waarde vir geld. Ons sal beslis weer die plek besoek.

Fantastic stay, awesome views, good value for money, friendly staff.

What a nice venue, surrounded by awesome views of the mountains, wild game such as zebra, black wildebeest and blesbuck. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The chalet was clean and tidy. The staff was very friendly. We will for sure visit again, this time with our kids where we could enjoy mountain biking as a family.

Ons wou vreeslik graag net 'n vuurtjie maak in die aand, alleen, die gemeenskaplike braai is reg van voor vir die middelste kamer. Ek sou nie daarvan hou as ander mense daar kom terwyl ons daar is nie.

In die somer sal dit asemrowend wees so in die berge.

De Ark was 'n rustige bestemming in die berge. Afgesien van veldbrande wat die hele gebied swart gelaat het, het ons steeds mooi sonsondergange geniet.

De Ark is 'n moet vir verblyf indien jul in die Clarens omgewing is!

Presies net wat ons in gedagte gehad het. Lekker rustige wegbreek ver genoeg van alles af om rustig te kon wees maar ook naby genoeg om Clarens en omgewing te kon besoek. Diens was vriendelik en alles was altyd op tyd skoonmaak, ontbyt, ens. Sal definitief weer gebruik maak van De Ark.

Beautiful scenery.

The area where De Ark is situated is really beautiful, with lovely scenery. It felt really great to be in nature. We spotted some kudu as well. Our hosts were very informative and made sure were aware of all the important info we needed especially regarding the gravel route, as well as giving us tips about other things to do in Clarens. They even shared the weekend load shedding schedule with us. Silas and his team were amazing, and the breakfast was good.

Baie netjies, die uitsig is iets anders om te beleef.

Baie rustig, lekker vir daardie ekstra ontspanning. 'n Klein afdakkie by die huis sal wonders doen, net vir die dae wat daar so bietjie reën val. Dit moet wel nie die uitsig belemmer nie.

Netjies. Stil. Eenkant in die berg.

Goeie kliëntediens, en baie netjies. Stil, rustig, alleen. Maak net goeie plan vir etes in middag en aand. Met baie reën is die pad sleg modder en geskik vir 4x4 - anders word die trekker gebruik vir op of af.

Rustig met 'n besonderse uitsig.

De Ark was pragtig en die ligging in die berge is besonders. Voorstelle vir verbetering is om toiletsproei in die toilet te plaas en seker te maak daar is Blitz om mee vuur te maak in die kaggel. 'n Afdak voor die voordeur sal die reën uithou. Vir die prys per nag sal 'n klein stoof-oondjie baie help om iets gaar te maak. Dankie andersins vir 'n onvergeetlike tydjie!

Quiet with an exceptional view.

De Ark was beautiful and the location in the mountains is special. Suggestions for improvement are to put toilet spray in the toilet and make sure there is Blitz to start a fire with in the fireplace. A canopy in front of the front door will keep the rain out. For the price per night, a small stove-oven will go a long way in cooking something. Thanks otherwise for an unforgettable time!

Wonderful views in simple, comfortable lodging.

Really great location with a fairly minor dirt road to access (quite doable even for me on a road motorcycle). The room itself was clean and quite pleasant. Comfy bed and such. The flow out of the shower head was a little unsatisfying but it did the job. No TV which I liked but some might not. A handful of purchase-able drinks/snacks in the fridge, or a small bar that's open 'til late, would have been nice.

Vriendelike personeel, beste ligging, rustigheid en vrede vir jou siel.

Van die begin tot die einde verskriklik geniet. Marika het seker gemaak ons was mooi na gekyk deur die hele tyd van ons verblyf. Mooiste plek en die personeel is baie vriendelik. 'n Plek waar mens moeilik vanaf wegstap. Maria het mooi na ons gekyk wanneer dit tyd was vir ontbyt en aandete en Marika het ons elke dag met 'n warm, vrolike glimlag gegroet en dit het gevoel of ons al baie lank vriende is. Haar gasvryheid en tog professionaliteit is tops. Sal dit vir enige persoon aanbeveel. Ons gaan beslis volgende jaar weer bespreek. 'n Heerlike wegbreek.

Her hospitality and yet professionalism is top notch. Would recommend to any person. We will definitely book again next year. A wonderful getaway.

Baie lekker gekuier, kamers met die nodige toegerus gewees.

Ons as gesin en vriende het ons kuier by De Ark Mountain Lodge regtig baie geniet. Marika ons gasvrou was "awesome" gewees, baie gaaf en baie baie vriendelik en baie behulpsaam gewees. Dink dit was 'n goeie keuse om op die buitewyke van Clarens tuis te gaan, dink die middedorp kan dalk te bedrywig wees. Kamers was elke dag baie mooi skoon en vars gewees.

Had a great time, rooms equipped with the necessary.

We as family and friends really enjoyed our stay at De Ark Mountain Lodge. Marika our hostess was "awesome", very nice and very very friendly and very helpful. Think it was a good choice to live on the outskirts of Clarens, think the town center might be too busy. Rooms were very clean and fresh every day.

Lekker ontspan met ongelooflike uitsig en puik diens.

De Ark Mountain Lodge is uit die dorp uit wat lekker stil is met 'n ongelooflike uitsig. Hulle het ons kamer spesiaal ingerig vir ons baba. Hulle diens is puik, wou altyd help. Die kamers is lekker snoesig met die kaggel. Hulle eetsaal en kuierarea is baie lekker ingerig. Als kyk uit oor Clarens en die berge. Baie lekker daar geëet en gekuier. Ons kom vir seker weer.

Relaxation with an incredible view and excellent service.

De Ark Mountain Lodge is outside of town and very quiet with an incredible view. They equipped our room especially for our baby. The service is excellent and very helpful. The rooms are nice and snug with the fireplace. The dining room and entertainment area is very well equipped. You have a view of Clarens and the mountains. Had a very nice meal there and enjoyed the stay. We will definitely come again.

Small, but convenient.

We looked forward to a dip in the pool they advertised, only to find out it is filled up and paved over.

De Ark Mountain Lodge 's response

Hi Nick, thank you very much for your feedback we take all comments on board. We apologize there is no longer a pool. We removed the pool during the terrible drought of summer 2015 and removed all reference to it on all our marketing material. Google images unfortunately has to remove the old images themselves and we have been trying to do this for the past 3 years on that side .

Again our apologies and we hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay with us.

Die personeel was baie gaaf en vriendelik. Die kos heerlik en baie bekostigbaar, ons is baie bederf en het gesellig om die kaggelvuur gekuier. Heerlik stil en het regtig afgeskakel en kon uitrus. Hulle doen baie klein dingetjies om jou regtig spesiaal te laat voel en te bederf. Ek kan dit vir enige person aanbeveel en hulle gaan ons vir seker baie vinnig weer sien.

Ware wegbreek in die berge.

Weggesteek in die berge, maar tog nie ver om te ry uit Clarens nie, skuil hierdie juweel van 'n plek. Met aansitetes, skoon fasiliteite, kaggel in die eenheid en gekomplimenteer met lang stappe in die berge is dit 'n ideale wegbreek.

True getaway in the mountains.

Tucked away in the mountains, yet not a far drive from Clarens, hides this gem of a place. With buffet meals, clean facilities, fireplace in the unit and complimented with long walks in the mountains it is an ideal getaway.

Hier vind jy vrede in 'n huislike atmosfeer en 'n asemrowende uitsig.

Die wegbreek na De Ark Mountain Lodge was 'n beslis die moeite werd. Maguel is die perfekte gasheer wat alles binne sy vermoë doen om sy gaste tuis te laat voel. Die verblyf is gerieflik en netjies. Die ontbyt onverbeterlik en die diens wat ontvang is vanaf die skoonmakers, kombuispersoneel en al die res was voorwaar uit die boeke. Dit was lekker om net rustig te verkeer tussen sulke vriendelike mense. Die omgewing is pragtig en ons sal beslis as die geleentheid hom voordoen weer daar vertoef.

Beautiful scenery, but only that!

Although the scenery was beautiful, the lodge was not well kept or renovated. Out of the two mornings (and breakfasts) we had, there was no consistency as everyday, they were running out of something, showing that this was not a very professional approach. The host was very friendly and nice, but this is not enough. The fireplaces in the rooms could not be used as the smoke would stay in the room, and although they knew about it, and it was very cold, they had not taken care of fixing it on time. Overall, a pleasant place but has big room for improvement by starting being professional.

Die bestuurder, PJ, was baie aangenaam. Ons dadelik gemaklik laat voel en ongelooflike gasvryheid van hom af. Kos was baie lekker en hulle het uit hul pad gegaan om ons gemaklik te laat voel. Kamers was skoongemaak en elke dag nuwe hout vir kaggel voorsien. Swart wildebeeste was asemrowend mooi. Het Lesotho besoek en ons het sneeu gekry ... baie! Het soos kinders in die sneeu gespeel.

Baie aangenaam en rustig.

Ons het ons verblyf terdeë geniet en sal volgende keer meer verkenning doen tussen die koppies en kloof. Mooi wild gesien en die personeel is baie bedag en behulpsaam. Die kos was fantasties! Die bestuur het ook bygedra tot 'n fantastiese naweek.

Ontspanne verblyf in die berg.

Ons het fantastiese diens by De Ark beleef, en daar is baie mooi vir ons gesorg en moeite gemaak. Hierdie lodge is 'n baie lekker plek indien jy graag weg van die stad af wil wees, met maklike toegang tot staproetes en wild. Pragtige uitsigte! Ek sal graag soontoe terugkeer, vir meer as net een aand die keer!

Relaxed stay in the mountain.

We experienced fantastic service at De Ark, and we were very well taken care of and made an effort. This lodge is a very nice place if you want to be away from the city, with easy access to hiking trails and wildlife. Beautiful views! I would love to return there, for more than just one night at a time!

Dit was 'n aangename ervaring in 'n pragtige bergomgewing wat neerkyk op Clarens.

Ontbyt was deurgaans goed en voldoende. Besoekers behoort egter kennis te neem dat daar gee TV/radio in die chalets is nie en dat die pad teen die berg uit meer geskik is vir 4x4-voertuie.

Ons het lanklaas so lekker gebly, Danie en Joanita is regtig baie gasvry, doen als in hul vermoë om jou tuis te laat voel, die tiener kinders het dit verbasend baie goed gevat en het hul gate uit geniet, veral as ons kon gaan stap in die berge en hulle klippe kon optel.

Die natuur is asemrowend mooi!

Weens al die brande en brandstigting was dit jammer dat dit die hele omgewing onder 'n rookkombers geplaas het. Omdat De Ark hooggeleë is, was die rook minder. Ons kon dit egter nie weerstaan om in die pragtige omgewing tussen die bokke en sebras te gaan stap nie. Die stilte was wonderlik. Danie en Juanita was die perfekte gasheer en gasvrou. Hulle kos is uit die boonste rakke.

Due to all the fires and arson it was unfortunate that it put the whole area under a blanket of smoke. Because De Ark is high up, the smoke was less.

Their food is top notch.

Fantastiese plek as jy wil wegbreek van alles.

Juanita en haar span het ons dadelik laat tuis voel. Die eenhede was netjies en skoon en die stoep kyk uit op die mooiste natuur. Ons het skemerkelkies geniet met sonsondergang. Die grondpad is bietjie rof met plekke, maar my Polo het dit maklik in en uit gemaak. Ons het gebruik gemaak van die restaurant vir aandete en dit was een van die lekkerste skaaptjops wat ek in lang tyd gehad het. Ontbyt was net so wonderlik.

The dirt road is a bit rough in places, but my Polo made it in and out easily. We used the restaurant for dinner and it was one of the tastiest lamb chops I've had in a long time. Breakfast was just as wonderful.

Middel September is in 'n minder mooi tyd van die jaar, sal weer wil kom as dit groen is. Danie en Juanita is baie goeie gasheer en -vrou wat ons behoeftes in ag geneem het. Kos was heerlik.

Mid September is in a less beautiful time of the year, would like to come again if it is green. Danie and Juanita are very good hosts who took our needs into consideration. Food was delicious. Ideal place to come to switch off and recharge. The only negative is the road after turning off the tarmac.

Pragtige uitsig!

Oulike plek en goeie diens, maar pad kort aandag!

Beautiful view!

Cute place and good service, but road needs attention!
