Fantastic area, picture perfect. Enjoyed the hiking trail to the waterfall.
Location is excellent, hiking trail was great. Everything was great except: If the owners can pay attention to the house's interior (maintenance) it will be 100%. Cleanliness is very disappointing. Shower black on sides below. Substance! Maintenance must be done! Frying pan needs to be replaced. Pots need a good scrub. Grilling utensils outside were dirty. Double bed needs to be replaced.

In addition, the cottage we stayed in was well equipped with everything one needs to have a comfortable visit and was sparkling clean and tidy. A bonus was the porch and outdoor shower. We are planning to go home there for a weekend with a larger group of people soon.

Relaxing getaway.
We stayed in the Log Cabin for 2 nights and really enjoyed our time there. The place's location in the middle of the forest is perfect and we enjoyed exploring the area using the marked walking trails. It started to rain non-stop on the 2nd morning but this also added to a real tropical rainforest feel. The cabin itself was very neat and comfortable with everything you might need.

Lovely getaway in nature.
The lodge was very comfortably equipped. We didn't find anything we needed. The owners go to great lengths to keep the road and lodge in good condition. Even with load shedding we were always able to turn on lights due to battery power. We had a great time relaxing on the lovely, large porch and just listening to the birds and the lapping of the water stream. It's really lovely in the woods. The owners' dog came for a visit and started the walk together. I highly recommend Forest Bird Lodge. We will definitely visit again to recharge our batteries.

A wonderful experience in the forests. The accommodation is peaceful and quiet and simple and the kitchen has everything you would need. The gas stove and gas cabinet are good alternatives for when the power is out. There is an awful lot of information available for bird watchers and there is plenty to do in the area. Anne they are always at hand with advice and information which is very reassuring. The roads are good and we found the place even in the dark with very little effort. I look forward to many more visits to Forest Bird Lodge.

We were in the area for my daughter's wedding at Minas. The stay at Forest Bird Lodge was delightful and relaxing - the babbling of the water stream and the natural vegetation nearby contribute to this. We did go for a walk to the nearby waterfalls with the resident dogs as tour guides - fun! Wish we had more time to explore. They may just have to mention that the donkey (hot water) is indeed scalded twice a day. And certain pots in the kitchen don't have lids. Nevertheless, the stay was wonderful, thank you.

This is easily the best getaway weekend we've had in a long time and Forest Bird Lodge made this a reality.
Although the gravel road tot he lodge isn't the best, we were more than pleasantly surprised with the place. Everything was sparkling clean and everything works. The outside shower is great and the absence of a TV definitely a bonus. I would have liked to pack the donkey for hot water myself, but that is more of a personal preference than critique. Fridge, gas stove, microwave and Weber on the porch and an outside braai gives you a lot of cooking options. Beautiful, well kept walking trails, wonderful bird life and the tranquillity that only Magoebaskloof can offer, makes this a must-see for anyone who loves nature in all its aspects.

Beautiful house in the forest.
Nice, neat and clean. Little house in the forest. Take a day or two to determine optimal times for hot water with the donkey.

Cosy and quiet forest experience.
The cabin in Forest Bird Lodge offers everything you need. Fresh, white linen, deep bath, great fireplace and forest views through all the windows. The walking trails are beautiful and the friendly dog of the owner is a bonus guide! Highly recommended.

Relaxing and a place to recharge the batteries!
It was super! A peaceful environment with the most amazing hiking trails. Loved the dog Shadow who joined us while hiking. The place is nice and laid out well. We feel 'lekker' recharged.

A magical place where we could relax!
We enjoyed our stay at Forest Bird Lodge so much! The quiet and tranquility was almost overwhelming. Apart from the wind in the trees and the sound of the stream nearby, there was no noise. It was just what we needed to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The Log Cabin we stayed in was equipped with everything we needed and it was very neat! There is a nice fireplace available. We had trouble getting in and out with our vehicle where the road was a bit uneven, but it was definitely worth it and so beautiful! You are surrounded by indigenous plants and birds that "hide" in the bush! We will definitely visit Forest Bird Lodge again when we are in the area.

It was very nice. It is a beautiful place and we had nice walks and saw a lot and had a good rest. Shadow came to visit frequently and we made a nice fire in the fireplace. We slept wonderfully!

We spent 2 nights at Forest Bird Lodge's log cabin. Enjoyed it a lot.
Forest Bird Lodge is lovely overnight accommodation for nature lovers. The gorge is very beautiful and the hiking trail to the waterfall is a must. The outdoor shower is lovely when it's hot! We only had problems with hot water when we wanted to bathe/shower - the geyser didn't work well. The cleanliness of the cottage can be upgraded.

Have a great time! The house is well equipped, and the equipment is all in excellent condition. We can really recommend it! One tip: Take firewood or coals with you. The forest wood is a great frustration if you want to throw a little meat on the coals!

Perfect for getting away from the city.
Forest Bird lodge is a hidden piece of heaven for those who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I would recommend it to any family or couple who want to spend quality time with each other, away from the distraction of technology and too many things to do. The walk to the river is a must, but pack a water bottle with you. The last bit of driving to the accommodation is not suitable for cars with a low profile or low power.
