A very unique and enjoyable experience.
We camped at Duiwekloof with family and had a fantastic time there. Duiwekloof was a perfect base from which to explore Baviaanskloof. It was a bit too far to drive to Patensie, but we could still drive calmly to the conservation area and back. Duiwekloof's hiking trails are also fantastic and the organ cave trail was our favourite.

Asemrowende omgewing, ondergemiddelde verblyf.

Breathtaking surroundings, below average stay.
The environment is breathtaking and you need 2 days to really enjoy it. The accommodation is below average. We had to pay a R200 deposit for breakages, only to find a glass in our room that was already cracked. When we reported it, it was confirmed that they were aware of it, why not replace it before your guests arrive? The linen and bedding are very old. The mattress is hollow and uncomfortable.

Comfortable, beautiful, relaxing in nature.
We celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary. It was so nice and relaxing. We stayed in the Leopards Cave (honeymoon suite). The house has everything you need. The bedroom, living room and bathroom were beautiful and well thought out. The service was friendly, and the cottage and grounds were nicely clean. I would definitely like to visit again, and would recommend it to anyone looking to get away from the noise.

One of the most beautiful places, a "gem" between the mountains.
We have been going to Duiwekloof for the last 4 years, the place is just blissful and beautiful. Tokko and Austin who run the place are always friendly and helpful. We have stayed in every unit, it is always clean and tidy. There are several walking routes and their 2 dogs like to walk together. The plunge pool is always a bonus to cool off in. We just love Duiwekloof, a perfect place to rest and switch off from the city's hustle and bustle.

Booked camping, their rate was the most expensive on our entire tour. Along with that, the stand was covered with ants, so take ant poison with you! On the door at the reception area is a yellow sign that says "CAMPERS Not allowed", wow, so our money is good enough but not our presence.

The accommodation was pleasant but average.
The owner of Duiwekloof is not kind at all. The accommodation I book was not prepared and she wanted to decide for us where we should stay. She also made rude remarks. Totally inappropriate. Also spoke to me as if I am her child. I am a guesthouse owner as well, so I know exactly how a booking works. The manager was not there, but the cleaner Cynthia was very helpful and pleasant. Plastic glasses and - coffee mugs were also not what I expected for the price. Bedding was very clean, but old and washed out. This all does not match the price. Very sorry for all the negative as the location and whole setup is actually beautiful.

Duiwekloof Lodge 's response
Dear Cornelle,
Thank you for your review. We take note of your comments but would like to point out that you booked and paid for 1 Double Room and 1 Family Room, which you will see on your confirmation received from LekkeSlaap. You requested the family cottage but this request could not be confirmed. As you are aware, Duiwekloof Lodge is situated in the remote Baviaanskloof and high-quality plastic glassware is used in the units as there is no recourse to immediate replacement. Glasses are available in the lapa if desired. Our linen is replaced annually, but we will follow up with our housekeeping team.
We appologise for any misunderstanding.
Kind regards,
Maunela Teuscher
