Skakel af van die gejaag in pragtige natuur.

Baie lekker gebly in Januarie 2024. Vriendelike diens en asemrowende natuurskoon in die omgewing. Enigste ding om in gedagte te hou is die kondisie van die pad vanaf Howick tot by die oord het slegte slaggate, so ry versigtig. Geen selfoonsein (Vodacom en CellC). WiFi-opvangs is ook nie te goed nie en die internet is nogal stadig.

Switch off from the hustle and bustle in beautiful nature.

Very nice stay in January 2024. Friendly service and breathtaking scenery in the area. Only thing to bear in mind is the condition of the road from Howick to the resort has bad potholes, so drive carefully. No mobile signal (Vodacom and CellC). WiFi reception is also not too good and the internet is quite slow.

Baie rustig, stil en heelwat voëllewêreld om te aanskou.

Die uitsig van die kamer en sitkamer is pragtig, stil, rustig en 'n fantastiese plekkie om net af te skakel van die wêreld af. Ons het vreeslik baie lekker gekuier en die plekkie baie geniet.

A gem!

Wow, how beautiful! It's basic, but comfortable. The reception staff was an absolute pleasure and extremely warm and welcoming. This is one of the most beautiful places I've been to in a while. Well worth a visit. So many activities to choose from. I really wish I had more time here to explore it all.

The staff at reception were very helpful. I would not hesitate to come back.

I definitely enjoyed my stay at the Elands Valley Resort. We would come back anytime. It exceeded my expectations. However, coming from Johannesburg, I was particularly concerned about the lack of a manned gate leading to the resort. Safety should be incorporated as a matter of urgency. That aside, ons het lekker geslaap.

Cold, beautiful and peaceful.

Yes, will just say that the chalet was bitterly cold, I know there are gas heaters available to hire v reception but I think maybe more could be done to insulate the cabin. Eland Valley Lodge is a good destination for travelers who just want somewhere to sleep and are out most of the day, during autumn / winter the cabin will be far too cold to stay in all day. Luckily there were plenty of blankets and we slept in our jackets and beanies. I also don't know what I had to do to get a cabin on the lake. It was my brother and I's first holiday in a very long time and we got one of the cabins in the middle of the resort and it was slightly disappointing. We also went for a walk on the site, it had rained a lot recently and the footpath to the waterfall was very muddy and there was only a small piece of wood that we could step on and we still got stuck in the mud, it could be better taken care of have been It was also very difficult to grill because the grill was a bit away from the fire and could not be moved any further (perhaps you have to make a very big fire). Furthermore, the accommodation was very good, peaceful and in a very good location.

Ons het 'n aangename kuier gehad in die huisie wat alles gehad het wat ons nodig het.

Pragtige natuurskoon, die huisie het 'n mooi uitsig en ons het die verskeidenheid voëls geniet. Naby die oord is 'n supermark met byna alles wat 'n mens nodig het — 24 km vanaf die naaste dorp.

Beautiful location at a good price. Meets my minimum criteria for comfort and convenience.

The view from the 2-bed units is awesome. The unit is not big, but quite adequate. Cooking facilities are adequate, but a gas plate is needed during load shedding. Owners promised to rectify this. Bigger units have gas stoves. Minor problems were dealt with immediately, and staff were helpful. Recreation facilities were good, with a pool, table tennis and canoes. Walks were pleasant too. Saw a few bucks and a baboon troupe as well. WIFI was intermittent due to heavy cloud cover.

Eland Valley Resort 's response

We are glad you enjoyed your stay. With regards to the gas stove. We are slowly replacing our electric stoves with gas ones in all units but we always offer our resort's kitchen to our guests to make use of the gas stove should they need to cook during load shedding.

Hulle het heeltyd gebreek en gebou en heeltyd lawaai en die werkers jaag op motorfietse rond tussen die eenhede.

Die lawaai was ondraaglik erg. Selfs wanneer ek dit aangemeld het by bestuur het hulle slegs die deure van die eenheid toegemaak en aangehou met sweis en lawaai. Dit was aaklig!

They were breaking and building all the time and making noise all the time and the workers were racing around between the units on motorbikes.

The noise was unbearably bad. Even when I reported it to management they only closed the doors of the unit and continued with welding and noise. It was awful!

Eland Valley Resort 's response

It is unfortunate that you had a horrible experience. The noise you were referring to were maintenance that needed to be completed in a bathroom for a guest check-in. Unfortunately, we had no option but to fix the problem. I obliged to your complaint when you had asked me to silence my staff to which I did and closed the door of the unit where the noise was emanating. Had I known you had found it unbearable, I would've thought of other solutions to ease your discomfort.
