Peaceful and safe overnight stay for me and the pooches once again. Especially love waking up to that view and being able to have a great morning walk through the valley with my dogs.

A pet-friendly hidden gem!

We stayed in the main cabin with the most spectacular view over the waterfall. The wooden cottage was great and had everything we needed, including WiFi. Our two dogs were most welcomed by our host and loved being able to move around freely with us (the cottage is not fenced, but the balustrade is dog-proof). There are lots of excellent walks on the farm that we still want to come back and explore more.

Hi Anja

Ongelooflike pragtige plek. Met ons aankom het 'n "welcoming party" van drie lewenslustige en baie vriendelike Jack Russels ons kom haal by die voertuig. Hulle het sommer die nag by ons geslaap ook. Dit was een van ons beste uitbly-ervarings. Ons sal dit beslis weer wil doen met die res van ons familie.

Pragtige plek weggesteek tussen die berge met die geluide van watervalle in jou ore terwyl jy ontspan. Baie veilig. 'n Paradys vir die drie Jack Russels.

Unbelievably beautiful place. When we arrived, a "welcoming party" of three lively and very friendly Jack Russels came to collect us from the vehicle. They just slept the night with us too. It was one of our best staycation experiences. We would definitely want to do it again with the rest of our family.

Beautiful place hidden between the mountains with the sounds of waterfalls in your ears as you relax. Very safe. A paradise for the three Jack Russels.

'n Stukkie hemel.

Vandat ons aangeland het by Eagle Falls is on hartlik verwelkom deur Michael en sy span en het dadelik tuis gevoel. Die hoofchalet het 'n pragtige uitsig oor die poele en die waterval. Alles is skoon en netjies. Selfs met beurtkrag is daar voorsiening gemaak vir noodligte. Ons sal beslis weer kom kuier en 'n hele paar vriende saambring.

From the moment we landed at Eagle Falls we were warmly welcomed by Michael and his team and immediately felt at home. The main chalet has a beautiful view of the pools and the waterfall. Everything is clean and tidy. Even with load shedding provision has been made for emergency lights. We will definitely visit again and bring quite a few friends.

Picturesque cabin on mountainslope for those looking for rest and relaxation!

We enjoyed our stay at Eagle Falls Country Lodge. The cabin was equipped with the bare necessities, which could have included a welcome brochure detailing general park and cabin information, as well as important contact numbers. There is no cellphone reception other than WiFi at a fee, which was erratic at times. We had some issues with our 2 x 4 SUV vehicle coming to and from the main cabin due to the steepness and sandiness of the road, but the owner was more than willing to assist as needed. The staff were friendly and accommodating, serving a great farmhouse breakfast and joining us for an entertaining game of pool at the bar. Great views from the cabin and great sunsets!

Dirty, everything broken, nothing available on website.

Cottages are very dirty - one does not want to use the shower. The bathroom mat was very dirty. The arrangements on stoep (above a very high precipice) are about to fall down and take you with it. Windows falling out of frames, floor tiles in bathroom broken. None of the activities listed on the website were available - our main reason for going with young children. The place has incredible potential and if only it is clean one can excuse the other shortcomings.

Truly off the grid.

The views are incredibly stunning in this truly tranquil location far from all civilisation. The rock pools were lovely to swim in, great way to cool down on a hot summers day. The food was however substandard, I would suggest bringing your own food for your stay as there is only one restaurant in the whole vicinity and it is too far in the mountain to drive out for better food. There are a lot of creatures that come in to the cabin, you must not have a fear for insects if you decide to take this retreat, or else it wont be very restful. I was very disappointed that the website wasn't updated to indicate that there is no longer quad-biking available, and you must bring your own gun for the shooting range. I was mostly looking forward to quad-biking, which was also why I chose the location.

Beautiful, but overpriced.

I had to book this at the last minute as my original plans fell through. Travelling with my husband and his brother our accommodation requirements are specific and it meant a lot of messages backwards and forwards. The main chalet was far more expensive than the cabins but had the privacy we required, so we took it. For the price we expected luxury. The (dirt) road to the chalet was incredibly steep and we listened to the reception who said many people don't drive down to it. The chalet was clean, but minimally though adequately equipped. Taps were loose - I could push them from side to side! Key from the bedroom out was missing. I found reception not very hospitable. The scenery was awesome. No pamphlets or documentation on available walks. I asked at reception and got minimal info. Trails are poorly marked and we eventually went back not sure that the trail would lead back.

Baie ongelukkig.

Dis was ons eerste vakansie gewees, ons besluit om daar te kamp vir 4 dae vir Kersfees. Omdat hulle so bemark en op hulle site all die aktiwiteite daar het, maar dis was nie so nie, daar was gesê daar is swembad, perd ry, abseiling, quad bikes, niks daar nie. Ek het eienaar vra toe hy doen din dit nie meer nie,ek wat baie baie upset, toe ek vra oor swembad toe se hy swem is berg se dam, maar op webtuiste sê hulle daar is swembad. Daar is net WiFi by bar nie op kampplek nie. Geen perde en goed nie en die grond pad is rêrig nie lekker om ry met jou kar nie, daar was ook sign soos na hulle ry van al aktiwiteite maar dis nie so nie. Ek is baie unhappy on net een aand daar te gebly het van 3 aande wat ons betaal het. Tot vandag het die eienaar of bestuur ons nie gekontak oor ons issues nie, seker omdat on nie so belangrik is soos ander gaste wat by lodge bly nie, maar ek is unhappy, want dit sou eerste kamp wees, en al die geld wat ons spandeer om goed koop. Baie baie teleurgesteld, hoekom adverteer hulle goed wat hulle nie doen nie?

Very unfortunate.

It was our first holiday, we decided to camp there for 4 days for Christmas. Because they market like that and have all the activities there on their site, but it wasn't like that, it was said there was a swimming pool, horse riding, abseiling, quad bikes, nothing there. I asked the owner when he didn't do it anymore, I was very upset, when I asked about the pool he said he was swimming in Berg's Dam, but on the website they say there is a pool. There is only WiFi at the bar, not at the campsite. No horses and things and the dirt road is really not nice to drive with your car, there were also signs like they were driving from all activities but it's not like that. I am very unhappy that I only stayed there one night out of 3 nights that we paid for. Until today the owner or management has not contacted us about our issues, probably because we are not as important as other guests staying at the lodge, but I am unhappy because it would be first camp, and all the money we spend to buy things Very very disappointed, why are they advertising stuff they don't do?

Goeie dag Karel,

Dankie vir jou resensie. Ek is jammer jy het nie jou verblyf by ons geniet nie en ek wil vir jou n langnaweek kampering gratis aanbied vir jou ongerief. In verband met die abseiling moet dit ongelukkig vooraf gereel word, omdat ons mense van Oudtshoorn kry om dit aan te bied. Ek wens jy het vooraf met my gepraat hieroor, maar julle was vroeg die volgende oggend al klaar weg.

Groete

Basiese oornagfasiliteite met asemrowende uitsig op bergreekse en waterval.

Die kothuise is al redelik oud en dit lyk of basiese instandhouding lanklaas gedoen is soos byvoorbeeld kombuiskraan wat nie heeltemal wil draai nie, stortkraan het heeltemal losgekom. Verder was ons uitsig fantasties en het ons wel lekker geslaap.

Fantastiese ligging, akkommodasie kort aandag.

Eagle Falls se ligging is fantasties - en die geen selfoonopvangs sorg vir goeie afskakel van die buitewêreld. Jy raak letterlik deel van die natuur by Eagle Falls. Ons (4 grootmense en 1 kind) moes op kort kennisgewing ons bespreking se datums verander, maar is dadelik tegemoet gekom deur Michael. Die "cabin" wat aan ons toegewys was, was 'n absolute teleurstelling. Die eenheid het nie 2 slaapkamers nie, maar eerder 1 slaapkamer met 2 enkelbeddens wat die hele leefarea volgestaan het. 'n Deur van die slaapkamer lei reguit in die bar in en word van binne die bar gesluit. Verder is die deur nie die hele kosyn vol nie - die musiek uit die bar is harder in die slaapkamer as langsaan in die bar. Ten spyte van vele versoeke een aand om die TV sagter te sit weens 'n slapende 2 jarige in die kamer, was ons net meegedeel dat dit oor 'n rukkie gedoen sal word. Daardie rukkie het 'n paar uur geneem om aan te breek. 'n Muurkassie is reg voor die wasbak - dus moet jy by die afdroogarea staan om skottelgoed te was. Verder was die deurrakkies van die yskas weg, die vrieshokkie het geen afskorting gehad nie en die yskasdeur is met 'n stukkie draad in plek gehou. Die eenheid is moontlik geskik vir 'n ouerpaar met 'n kind/ers, maar nie vir 2 volwasse paartjies met 'n kind soos wat ons bespreking gedoen is nie. Daar is verder min privaatheid by die cabins - wanneer jy op jou stoep sit of braai, is jou buurman 'n paar tree van jou af. Geen afskorting/privaatheid tussen die cabins nie. Die gasvryheid by Eagle Falls is egter van uitstaande gehalte en die etes wat ons uit die kombuis bestel het was heerlik! Sal beslis weer Eagle Falls besoek, maar sal by die chalets oornag eerder as die cabins. (Let wel, daar is geensins aan ons genoem dat die datums verander 'n probleem sou veroorsaak of dat dit 'n onder-standaard cabin tot gevolg sou hê nie).

Fantastic location, accommodation needs attention.

Eagle Falls' location is fantastic - and the no cell phone reception makes for good disconnection from the outside world. You literally become a part of nature at Eagle Falls. We (4 adults and 1 child) had to change our booking dates at short notice, but were immediately met by Michael. The "cabin" we were assigned was an absolute disappointment. The unit does not have 2 bedrooms, but rather 1 bedroom with 2 single beds that filled the entire living area. A door from the bedroom leads straight into the bar and is locked from inside the bar. Furthermore, the door is not completely full - the music from the bar is louder in the bedroom than in the bar next door. Despite many requests one night to turn the TV down because of a sleeping 2 year old in the room, we were only told it would be done in a little while. That stretch took a few hours to set in. A wall box is right in front of the sink - so you have to stand by the drying area to wash dishes. Furthermore, the door racks of the fridge were gone, the freezer had no partition and the fridge door was held in place with a piece of wire. The unit may be suitable for a parent couple with a child/ers, but not for 2 adult couples with a child as our booking was made. There is also little privacy at the cabins - when you sit on your porch or have a barbecue, your neighbor is a few steps away from you. No partition/privacy between the cabins. However, the hospitality at Eagle Falls is top notch and the meals we ordered from the kitchen were delicious! Will definitely visit Eagle Falls again, but will stay overnight at the chalets rather than the cabins. (Note, we were never told that changing the dates would cause a problem or result in a sub-standard cabin).

Ons het op laat kennisgewing akkommodasie gekry in kampeerterrein d.m.v. uitstekende diens van Lekkeslaap oor die internet. Ontvangs was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Eienaar het persoonlik kampplek vir ons uitgewys. Geriewe is ordentlik en silwerskoon. Baie mooi gras en bome in kampterrein. Wonderlike uitsig en vele aktiwiteite om te doen. Ons het baie welkom gevoel in die informele en goedbestuurde oord. Die selfhelp-ontvangs was wonderlik.

Camping for one night's stay.

At late notice, we got accommodation in a camping ground through excellent service from Leckeslaap over the internet. Reception was very friendly and helpful. Owner personally pointed out campsite for us. Amenities are decent and spotless. Very nice grass and trees in the campsite. Amazing view and many activities to do. We felt very welcome in the informal and well-run resort. The self help reception was great.

It was an absolute disaster.

We received no accommodation and was stranded in the middle of nowhere on Easter wekend, as Management made a double booking. Poor management of the establishment!

Dear Thelma,

I am truly appalled to hear of your experience, but we have now appointed new management and have been assured that these forms of mistakes are not likely to happen soon.

As a gesture of apology, please do contact us to redeem your free weekend with us.

Kind regards,

Nie waarde vir geld nie.

Baie mooi area in berge. Pad is nie mooi nie. Ons ry 'n Kia Sportage en het gesukkel op grondpaaie. Het 'n 4x4 verkieslik nodig. Veral as jy na die damme wil gaan vir visvang, kon nie met kar soontoe ry nie. Ons verblyf was vuil, daar is definitief nie skoongemaak nie. Vorige mense wat daar gebly het se kos was nog in die mikrogolf, en die rede is seker omdat die mikrogolf glad nie gewerk het nie. Hangkas se deur het afgeval toe ons dit oopmaak, die kamer is baie klein. Daar is net 1 vertrekkie met kombuis, slaapkamer en 'n TV. Glad nie die geld werd nie.

Not value for money.

Very nice area in mountains. Road is not pretty. We drive a Kia Sportage and struggled on dirt roads. Need a 4x4 preferably. Especially if you want to go to the ponds for fishing, could not go there by car. Our accommodation was dirty, it was definitely not cleaned. Previous people who stayed there still had their food in the microwave, and the reason is probably because the microwave didn't work at all. Hanging cabinet door fell off when we opened it, the room is very small. There is only 1 room with kitchen, bedroom and a TV. Not worth the money at all.
