Bietjie luuksheid, bietjie verlatenheid.

Gannaga is 'n bietjie luuksheid in 'n rowwe terrein. Wit linne slaap lekkerder as jy stof van jou af moes afwas op die reis daarheen. Ons was al 'n paar keer by Gannaga en het al in al die akkommodasie opsies gebly. Almal was heerlik. Vir vinnige kuiers op die motorfiets is die gerief van 'n restaurant, kroeg en vuurherd heerlik. Vir langer bly, verkies ons die selfsorg, en bietjie eenkant van die kliphuis. Die Tankwa is spesiaal en 'n terugblik vanaf die Gannaga-pas oor die verlate vlaktes laat jou asem wegslaan, en net oor die bult wag 'n bietjie luuksheid.

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.

Rus en vrede in die oopveld gevind en tyd verwyl met besondere mense.

Ons verblyf was onvergeetlik. Die natuur is ongerep en ons verblyf het talle herinneringe herroep van ons kinderjare op Oupa se plaas, veral donkiestook!

Very good and will definitely incorporate it into our tour again.

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.

Gannaga Lodge is 'n klein paradys as jy elf ure lank gery het om daar te kom.

Ek was werklik hartseer toe ons na 2 nagte moet aan beweeg. Dit was ons eerste ervaring van die Tankwa Karoo. Die kliphuis waar ons verblyf was, was so goed toegerus en ons kon heerlik warm slaap in die skielike yskoue. Dit was nou 'n ware Karoo-ervaring. Die diens by ontvangs was uitstekend en ons is so vriendelik ontvang. Ag, dit was regtig 'n wonderlike wonderlike ervaring en ek sal dit oral aanbeveel.

Gannaga Lodge is a little paradise if you've driven eleven hours to get there.

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.

Pragtige Lodge met vriendelike diens, heerlike kos, gerieflike slaapplek.

Die kaggel in die kroeg terwyl ons die Springbokke teen Australië gekyk het, was omtrent 'n lekker bron van hitte teen die snerpende koue daar buite, so ook die elektriese komberse om die beddens warm te maak.

Welcome refuge.

Travelling through Tankwa in mud and rain, arriving at Gannaga Lodge was a welcome refuge from the elements. Had a wonderful stay, and Sihle made sure everyone is feeling at home. Dinner was one of the best restaurant dinners I've had on the trip. Gannaga Lodge is perfectly located after/before the visit to Tankwa. On arrival, you select the meal for the evening from the restaurant. Cellphone and Wifi reception is only available around the restaurant and reception area.

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

Die kamers is goed toegerus met 'n lugversorger, warm stort, ketel, koffie, tee, suiker, haardroër en handdoeke. Die kamers is nie sleg nie, maar selfsorg is nie toegelaat nie en geen vuur mag in die binnebraai of buite op die toegewyde braaidromme aangesteek word vir 'n vinnige braai na 'n lang reis nie. Jy moet van die spyskaart bestel en drankies by die kroeg aankoop. My reisgenote het kos bestel by die restaurant, en dit was nie besonders nie, die skaaptjops was taaier as 'n Noordwes-rugbyspeler op 'n koue wintersoggend. Die eienaar is knorrig en kortaf met 'n woordeskat wat seerowers sal laat bloos, daarmee saam was hy glad nie toegeeflik vir ons om selfs 'n gasbraai te gebruik nie. Iets van "hy het al die lodge eenkeer afgebrand en gaan dit nie weer toelaat nie, gevolg deur iets aangaande 7 plase en brand daar onder in die Tankwa". Ek het uitgezone, ek wou net vuur aansteek en braai in die binnebraai reg oorkant die brandende kaggel agter hom. Maar Sihle was die ster van die vertoning, hy het ons met sjarme en entoesiasme verwelkom, selfs vir ons insekweerder en 'n verlengingsdraad gegee om die 12V-batterye oornag in die koue Hantam te laai. Ek sal beslis weer by Gannaga Lodge bly, maar sal in gedagte hou dat daar geen selfsorg toegelaat word nie, braai by die uitkykpunt in Gannagapas so 3 km voor jy Gannaga Lodge bereik. Sover dit aangaan vir Sihle, hy verdien 'n groot dankie, 'n verhoging vir sy vriendelike diens. Sal graag weer vir hom gaan kuier, want Sihle maak vir Gannaga Lodge lekker!

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!

Stunning location with beautiful views.

The lodge is situated in a beautiful location. Our highlight was Gannaga Pass - worth the stay. We shared the 'house' we stayed in with a minor, but his presence was unobtrusive, so no issues. We ate dinner and breakfast at the lodge - both quite ordinary, and the dinner in particular was not great value for money. The staff members were friendly - Sipho in particular.

Heerlike uitspan.

Ons het ons ouers op 'n reis deur die Tankwa-Karoo na die Namakwaland se blomme geneem. Ons het die roete teen die Gannaga-pas uit geniet en was dankbaar om die Gannaga Lodge soos 'n ware oase te sien. Die ontvangs was vrolik en vriendelik, die kos was heerlik en getrou aan die tradisies van die omgewing - 'n fantastiese ervaring. Die kamers is keurig ingerig met lekker beddens, elektriese komberse en warm storte - alles wat ons nodig gehad het. Ons sal graag weer hier kom oorbly.

'n Besoek aan Gannaga Lodge is 'n moet vir die avonturier.

Ons het in die kliphuis gebly en wat ons gekry het,is presies wat ons op die foto's gesien het. Baie netjies, alles wat jy benodig was daar. Daar is geen selfoonopvangs nie, maar Sihle het vir ons 'n tweerigtingradio gegee indien ons iets nodig gehad het, het ons hom net geroep. Die restaurant se kos is puik! Sihle is baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig en het gesorg dat ons die tyd daar baie geniet. Die paaie in Tankwa is nie goed nie, ek sou net altyd seker maak by die lodge van die paaie voordat ek op pad is na my bestemming. Ek beveel Gannaga Lodge sterk aan vir enige persoon wat graag deur Tankwa Karoopark wil ry en die gerief soek van etes wat bedien kan word.

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.

Love the setting and magnificent views looking down on the plains of the Tankwa National Park. Beautiful sunsets and night sky. Kind of get lost in nature.

Love the old stables converted into accommodation including the character of the old farmhouse - all tastefully furnished for a very relaxing stay-over. Amazing viewing decks provide 180 degrees providing patrons of Gannaga Lodge the opportunity to capture beautiful photographs, best in the early morning and late afternoon leading into dusk. We enjoyed refreshing drinks to quench the Tankwa thirst. Personally, a bucket list venue of pure tranquility and an appreciated warm welcome!

Oase in middel van niks en nêrens.

As jy hou van ietsie anders, lief is vir die natuur en stilte, maar nogsteeds 'n behoefte het aan gerief. Sal ek Gannaga Lodge aanbeveel. Gedink niemand kan beter afval maak as my ma, maar as jy van afval hou kan jy gerus Gannaga Lodge se afval probeer.

Oasis in the middle of nothing and nowhere.

If you like something a little different, love nature and silence, but still have a need for comfort. Would I recommend Gannaga Lodge. Thought no one could make waste better than my mother, but if you like waste you can try Gannaga Lodge's waste.

Interessante bestemming.

Vriendelike en behulpsame personeel. Jammer afval was nie beskikbaar op spyskaart. Kos is as 'n groot aantrekkingskrag aanbeveel deur vriende. Ek het dit nie 5 uit 5 ervaar nie. Sou ook waardeer het as iemand ons net gewaarsku het eiers vir ontbyt is nie ingeluit in verblyfprys nie.

Wonderlike stilte in Tankwa.

Bestuur het ons vooraf in kennis gestel ivm die Kliphuis se skade en dat daar vir ons ander reëlings getref is by Gannaga Lodge. Daar was geen probleme nie. Die Kliphuis ervaring sou wonderlik gewees het maar wie kan die natuur en weerlig beheer! Die kos was heerlik en ervaring baie positief! Sal weer wil kom en dan in Kliphuis so alleen en eenkant bly!

Management informed us in advance about the Kliphuis' damage and that other arrangements had been made for us at Gannaga Lodge. There were no problems.

Would like to come again and then stay in Kliphuis so alone and aside!

Stunning views but has seen better days.

We had booked our 3 day stay in the Kliphuis self-catering cottage. It has outstanding views and complete privacy. To our dismay upon arrival we were informed the cottage had been struck by lightning in the last storm and could not be used. Instead we were taken to a family unit with a double bed and 1 single bed with bathroom and toilet in the room. The adjoining room would not be occupied and the door was locked. As we had booked s/c we were given 2 plates, cutlery etc a stove and microwave( which couldn't reach the plug). There was 1 small table to use for "cooking". We decided to make the most of the situation and so for lunch and supper ate in the dining room. We had no washing up facilities and our dishes were only replaced on the first day. To our further dismay on our last night the adjoining room was occupied. The Tankwa Karoo is so beautiful and quiet. We hardly slept knowing our neighbour could hear everything we were doing and saying. We were offered 15% reduction on our stay. Not nearly enough for the obvious downgrade from what we had booked. It would've made so much difference had we been informed before we came. It would've saved us a shopping trip for 3 days provisions!. Gannaga Lodge is in the most stunning spot but rather than being quaint and interesting it feels tired and unloved.

Excellent for mountain biking.

Popular destination on weekends – for a quiet getaway, go during the week. We stayed for one night for a stopover from Johannesburg with the final destination of the new AfrikaBurn site in the Tankwa (Quaggafontein). It's a beautiful, scenic route through the nature reserve. Continental breakfast is included and you get served homemade bread and jam, and if you want your eggs and bacon, you can order it for an additional R50.

'n Absolute belewenis.

Die plek, in die Tankwa Karoo, is 'n ware belewis. Daarmee saam die ongelooflike smaaklike etes, veral die aandetes! Gannaga Lodge kan meer inligting oor die Tankwa beskikbaar hê - die plante, geskiedenis van die omgewing ens.

Beautiful location and friendly hosts.

Our stay at Gannaga lodge was pleasant. The hosts are very friendly and welcoming. The drive to the place offers a very beautiful view. The only downside to this was the food that was offered during dinner. We unfortunately did not eat most of the dishes that was prepared and when a request for an alternate was made, we were turned down as there are set meals during dinner. The seating area around the reception is also quite unhygienic as the place is filled with cat and dog hair, it was an unpleasant sight and lead to allergy reactions.

Beautiful isolation; mixed up lodge layout

The location is spectacular. The owners are fantastic people. The only comment is the lodge is a bit of a mix up in terms of layout mixing owners, staff, utilities and guest building up. An eclectic mix of decor and people. For bar flies and social drinkers the bar is a fantastic watering hole at altitude with spectacular views. The rooms have very small windows and low ceilings so you feel like u want to get out.

Saligheid in die platteland sonder om enige luuksheid prys te gee.

Pragtige, groot klipmuur kamers met lugversorging & unieke (in terme van argitektuur) badkamergeriewe. Fantastiese diens; baie dankie Johan, Enrico & Robert. Kinders het lafenis van swembad geniet in die hitte; swemhanddoeke word voorsien. Etes 'n belewenis; lekkerste boerewors by ontbyt, geniet vir aandete lammerstertjies (so sag dit val van die been af) & probeer gerus die skaapkop; lamsnek die beste! Indien 'n knoffel liefhebber, moenie die kaas & knoffel broodjie as 'n ligte middagete mis nie.

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.

By Gannaga Lodge het ons werklik naby aan die natuur gevoel. Die kamers was baie skoon en netjies terwyl die vriendelike personeel werklik na ons behoeftes omgesien het.

Verblyf in Kliphuisie was baie goed gewees - sal beslis weer daar wil bly. Nina was baie vriendelik en oulik. Aandete en ontbyt teleurstellend.

It was our first stay in the Tankwa Karoo National Park. Gannaga Lodge is the perfect place to be when you want to visit the park. The lodge is very close by the Gannaga Pass which is beautiful. The owner/manager make us feel at home and is very friendly. Gannaga Lodge is the only place in the park with a restaurant. The local food in the restaurant was value for money.

Een avontuur om er te geraken!

Eigenlijk prachtige locatie, tof zwembadje. Ideaal voor trekkers of met quad of crossbrommer. Echter de bediening aan tafel door de dames verliep stroef en afstandelijk. Wel jammer dat we geen weet hebben van prijzen van de drank. Wel een groot verschil tussen locals en buitenlanders kwa betaling.

Actually beautiful location, great swimming pool. Ideal for tractors or with quad or cross moped. However, the service at the table by the ladies was rough and distant. It's a pity that we have no information about the prices of the drinks. Well, one big difference between locals and foreigners in terms of pay.

Nice place, interesting owner, great location.

I admit that I did not read the confirmation fully. Dinner I can understand needs to be on an a la carte basis. However, I was surprised that breakfast was also extra, especially when there is no alternative. The room has no facilities, not even a kettle. The rate should be, at least, a bed and buffet included. There can be a supplement for any hot items.

Gannaga Lodge 's response

Thank you for your feedback Richard,

We are not self-catering as specified on our website and Travel ground. Our a la carte menu has a lot of options even for Vegetarians.
The Stable rooms all have kettles in them and in the Old farmhouse, we have coffees and teas in the lounge of the house.
We have taken your feedback very seriously and have changed our rate to bed and buffet breakfast included.

Thank you again.

Dit was die wonderlikste wegbreek uit die gejaag van die daaglikse roetine. Die ongelooflikste natuurskoon en die wonderlike koel kamers. Die spyskaart was ongelooflik en die kos smaaklik. Die kinders het die swembad geniet, terwyl ons rustig kon boeklees.

The accommodation is clean and very comfortable the facilities from the well stocked bar, the pool and the wonderfully rustic food made our stay a real pleasure and we will definitely be returning.

Great ervaring met Karoo gasvryheid.

Ons was vir twee dae by Gannaga, en dit was 'n great ervaring. Johann, Robert, Nina en die res van die span laat mens welkom voel en kuier hulle sommer saam by die kroeg en vertel jou stories van die mense van die area. Die uitsigte is ongelooflik, die mense en die kos was lekker. As mens bietjie in die Tankwa wil gaan kuier, sal ek Gannaga hoogs aanbeveel! Dis nogals 'n unieke ervaring.

The views are amazing, the people and the food were delicious. If you want to visit the Tankwa, I would highly recommend Gannaga! It's quite a unique experience.

Ongëwenaarde verblyf in 'n omgewing van beeldskone natuur.

Die Lodge is asemrowend mooi. Die ervaring is soos om terug te gaan plaas toe. Ons kamer in die huis kompleks was pragtig en gerieflik. Die koffie drink in 'n aparte sitkamer was die hoogte punt van ons aand. Die gasheer se gesellige teenwoordigheid is definitief iets om te ervaar. Die omgewing is 'n natuurliefhebber se droom en bied verskeie fotogeleenthede. Ons volgende besoek gaan definitief langer as net 'n oornag wees. Ons gaan vanaf die Lodge as basis daaglikse ekskursie in die Tankwa onderneem.

Unrivaled accommodation in an environment of picturesque nature.

The Lodge is breathtakingly beautiful. The experience is like going back to the farm. Our room in the house complex was beautiful and comfortable. 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.

Uitstekende gerief en vriendelikheid in die middel van nêrens. En lekker kos. Die moeite werd om die rowwe stofpad te ry (en selfs 'n wiel te verloor!) om by Gannaga Lodge te gaan kuier. Die Gannaga-pas is wonderlik om uit te ry en die uitsig is ongelooflik.

Aangenaam. Besonder rustige en oop omgewing. Regte onthou oorblyplek.

Ons was uitgevang en het met 'n vrag vars kos daar aangeland, want ons het gedink dis selfsorg soos wat meeste plase aanbied. Ek dink dat die feit dat 'n besondere restaurant met kontreikos bedryf word moet beter gestel word op die webwerf. Die pad deur die Tankwa is besonder sleg, hoe minder mens hoef saam te bring hoe beter. Om een of ander manier het ek ook gedink die Lodge is onder in die Tankwa reservaat, mens moet egter eers die Gannagapas uitry van die reservaat se kant af, dit sorg vir 'n baie lang dag se ry vanaf die Kaap tot by Gannaga.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

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.

Although remote, that in itself was beautiful and soul restoring!

We stayed in the converted stables and were very comfortable for the two nights we were there, would have preferred a double bed, as opposed to the two singles we had. The food was hearty and the reception friendly! We loved exploring the surrounds, especially as it was our first visit to the area. Wonderfully quiet with abundant bird life. The flowers were stunning even though we apparently missed the best of it.
