Aangenaam; goeie waarde, 5 ster.

'n Baie netjiese en goed toegeruste woning. Die gasvryheid van die gasheer saam met die komplimentêre tuisgebakte brood en patee was baie aangenaam. Ek sal enige tyd weer wil teruggaan vir 'n wegbreek by Giants Cup Wilderness Reserve.

Pleasant; good value, 5 star.

A very neat and well equipped home. The hospitality of the host along with the complimentary home baked bread and pate was very pleasant. I would love to go back again anytime for a getaway at Giants Cup Wilderness Reserve.

Lovely, well-appointed cottage, the complimentary freshly baked loaf and trout pate was a nice touch.

It was great being so close to the Giants Cup Trail. Lovely walks. Very nice walk around the dam too.

Ons het baie lekker gerus en die Drakensberg geniet.

Dit was definitief die moeite werd. Die "cottage" is baie goed uitgelê met 'n mooi uitsig oor die dam en berg. Ons het deurlopend wild, asook voëls gesien. Die "cottage" is biae goed toegerus met 'n lekker kaggel. Voorwaar baie lekker gerus en op die plaas gestap.

We rested very well and enjoyed the Drakensberg.

It was definitely worth it. The "cottage" is very well laid out with a nice view of the pond and mountain. We continuously saw wildlife, as well as birds. The "cottage" is very well equipped with a nice fireplace. Truly a very nice rest and walk on the farm.

Stunning getaway location with the comfort and feeling of home.

A beautiful location complemented by a well thought-out, classy yet homely self-catering unit made for a truly memorable experience. Attention to detail and a feeling of complete isolation made us feel like we had exclusive use of this stunning location.

Fabulous stay.

Beautiful little piece of heaven. However, we did not experience the wonderful hospitality we had read so much about. After being shown to our cottage, we did not even receive a text. All in all, though, we had an awesome weekend.

Giants Cup Wilderness Reserve Lakeside Lodge 's response

Hi Leigh,

I am very sorry to hear you felt you did not receive good hospitality. That is a surprise to me as I was there to greet you when you arrived. I would love to hear more about what you expected so that I can improve things. You are welcome to send me a message with more detail on this.

I am glad to hear you enjoyed your stay though.

Thanks for visiting and I hope to see you again in the future.

Thanks,
Natasha

Pragtige natuurskoon.

Pragtige natuurskoon in 'n asemrowende omgewing. Die eenheid is goed ingerig en baie netjies. Ons kon ongelukkig net een nag oorbly. Sal beslis aanbeveel.

Ons het hier oorgeslaap vir 'n besoek aan Sani Pass.

Hierdie verblyf was fantasties. Die omgewing pragtig en rustig. Alles skoon en netjies, en ons is selfs bederf met 'n tuisgebakte broodjie.

Enchanting cottage submerged in a forest, just perfect!

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay! The cottage is straight out of a fairytale. Beautifully finished and completely surrounded by a forest with a view of a lake. Short drive from Underburg and all of its attractions.

Great facilities. Beautiful, peaceful location and lovely staff/hosts.

A beautiful, isolated setting away from the madding crowd. The wind blowing through the pine trees at night was the perfect way to fall asleep. Amazing views of the lake which settles in a beautiful valley surrounded by mountains. You can hear the sounds of all sorts of wildlife at night in the stillness. It’s also really close to the Underberg town centre so you can stock up on supplies. Very friendly and informative staff and hosts who are always nearby if you need help. Our wood was restocked and cottage cleaned daily. We also received complimentary bread fresh from the oven, plus trout pate from the hatchery.
