A little luxury, a little desolation.
Gannaga is a bit of luxury in a rough terrain. White linen sleeps better if you had to wash dust off you on the trip there. We have been to Gannaga several times and have stayed in all the accommodation options. Everyone was delicious. For quick visits on the motorcycle, the convenience of a restaurant, bar and fireplace is wonderful. For longer stays, we prefer the self-catering, and a bit to one side of the stone house. The Tankwa is special and a look back from the Gannaga Pass over the desolate plains takes your breath away, and just over the hump awaits a bit of luxury.

Accommodation was very good. Picture nice destination. Booking was unfortunately in 2 rooms instead of one requiring additional charges but this has been fixed. The menu could perhaps keep better food dishes for children as well. However, the rest of the food is excellent.

I was really sad when we had to move on after 2 nights. This was our first experience of the Tankwa Karoo. The stone house where we stayed was so well equipped and we could sleep wonderfully warm in the sudden freezing cold. Now that was a real Karoo experience. The service at reception was excellent and we were received so kindly. Oh, it was really a wonderful wonderful experience and I would recommend it anywhere.

Gannaga Lodge, waar jy kan slaap maar nie mag braai nie (al is daar 'n binne- en buitebraaifasiliteit).

Translate to English.
Gannaga Lodge, where you can sleep but not barbeque (although there is an indoor and outdoor barbeque facility).
The rooms are well equipped with an air conditioner, hot shower, kettle, coffee, tea, sugar, hairdryer and towels. The rooms are not bad, but self catering is not allowed and no fire may be lit in the indoor braai or outside on the dedicated braai drums for a quick braai after a long journey. You must order from the menu and purchase drinks from the bar. My traveling companions ordered food from the restaurant, and it was not exceptional, the lamb chops were tougher than a North West rugby player on a cold winter morning. The owner is grumpy and curt with a vocabulary that would make pirates blush, plus he was not at all lenient for us to even use a gas grill. Something along the lines of "he burned down the lodge once and is not going to allow it again, followed by something about 7 farms and burning down in the Tankwa". I zoned out, I just wanted to light a fire and grill in the indoor grill right across from the burning fireplace behind him. But Sihle was the star of the show, he welcomed us with charm and enthusiasm, even giving us insect repellent and an extension cord to charge the 12V batteries overnight in the cold Hantam. I would definitely stay at Gannaga Lodge again, but would bear in mind that no self-catering is allowed, barbeque at the lookout point in Gannaga Pass about 3 km before you reach Gannaga Lodge. As far as Sihle is concerned, he deserves a big thank you, a raise for his kind service. Would love to visit him again, because Sihle makes Gannaga Lodge fun!

The reception was cheerful and friendly, the food was delicious and true to the traditions of the area - a fantastic experience. The rooms are nicely furnished with comfortable beds, electric blankets and hot showers - everything we needed. We would love to stay here again.

We stayed in the stone house and what we got is exactly what we saw in the pictures. Very neat, everything you need was there. There is no cell phone reception, but Sihle gave us a two-way radio if we needed anything, we just called him. The restaurant's food is great! Sihle is very friendly and helpful and made sure that we really enjoyed our time there. The roads in Tankwa are not good, I would always check with the lodge about the roads before heading to my destination. I highly recommend Gannaga Lodge to anyone who would like to drive through Tankwa Karoopark and seek the convenience of catered meals.

Bliss in the countryside without giving up any luxury.
Beautiful, large stone walled rooms with air conditioning & unique (in terms of architecture) bathroom facilities. Fantastic service; many thanks Johan, Enrico & Robert. Children enjoyed swimming in the heat; swimming towels are provided. Meals an experience; the most delicious boerewors at breakfast, enjoy lamb's tails for dinner (so soft it falls off the bone) & feel free to try the sheep's head; lamb neck the best! If a garlic lover, don't miss the cheese & garlic sandwich as a light lunch.

Drinking coffee in a separate lounge was the highlight of our evening. The host's convivial presence is definitely something to experience. The surroundings are a nature lover's dream and offer several photo opportunities. Our next visit will definitely be longer than just an overnight stay. We are going to undertake a daily excursion in the Tankwa from the Lodge as a base.

Wonderful. Very peaceful and open environment. Really a place to remember.
We were caught off guard and landed there with a load of fresh food as we thought it would be self-catering as offered by most farms. I think that the fact a country fare restaurant is run on the farm must be stated on the website. The road through the Tankwa is particularly bad, the less you need to bring the better. I also had the idea that the lodge is in the Tankwa reserve, but you mast go through the Gannaga Pass first from the reserve's side to reach it. This makes for a long day trip from Cape Town to Gannaga.
