Refreshing.
The accommodation was very clean but an improvement would be if coffee, tea and milk were available for at least the number of nights of stay. The houses also get incredibly cold, an electric blanket or hot water bag would be very welcome!

Fabulous and the tranquility was good for the soul. Just a pity we couldn't get wifi.
We were regular visitors a long time ago. The pool was a plus. Extremely friendly staff who made us feel very welcome. The environment fits us like a shoe, away from the noise and yet close enough to visit the wonderful nature of the Cango caves and the Gango Park.

Quiet and very beautiful.
Seeing the lodge in photos is something different than in reality. It's really very beautiful in the mountains with the scenery. We did just sleep there and explored George to Mossel Bay during the day. It's not far from everything and it's an experience to drive over the Outeniqua Pass to it. Lizemari received us kindly and her directions are spot on. One has no difficulty in finding the place. The GPS only takes you to a point. She is helpful and friendly. Would stay there again anytime.

Booked Lodge for a week.
Been freezing cold and rainy all week. Kids were very boring, because they couldn't swim or play in the park. Even struggled to prepare meals as braai is outside and raining wet all the time. Stofie is a bit small so it takes a long time to prepare food like this for 6 people. We were also not allowed in according to the time indicated and were once again asked to leave the lodge an hour earlier. Pack lots of warm clothes, because because it lies between 2 mountains it is very cold. And little for kids to do when the weather is bad. And make sure you take extra money with you, because you will first be asked at the office for a R500 breakage deposit.

Beautiful surroundings.
The lodge is between the mountains and the scenery is very beautiful. The waterfall is close and easily accessible. The garden is beautiful. Unit 13 where we stayed is basically furnished without a TV and coffee tray. The check-in time is confusing as it is 19:00 on the website, but according to reception it is 18:00. We received the deposit back very quickly, thank you. We will visit the lodge again.

Simple wooden houses, neat and clean with a nice view of the mountain. We had a nice stay in the wooden houses and were also able to walk a long way in the fynbos.
We had a great 2 nights here in the forestry-type houses! It was simple, neat and clean (towels are provided). The water in the houses tastes delicious and is clean mountain water! Unfortunately there was no wood, but luckily we packed. Take your own grid and triangle with you too. The nights can be cold in winter and spring, so ask for a cottage with a fireplace (there is a heater in every cottage). We are nature lovers and therefore really enjoyed the mountain and fynbos environment. L. W. there is a breakages deposit payable on arrival (cash only - see website).

Picturesque nature and surroundings, but not the best unit.
The environment is incredibly beautiful and peaceful and we enjoyed it very much. We would easily go again and just book another unit. It is really beautiful and the reception was very pleasant and friendly and helpful. The bed also slept very well. The unit we stayed in was unfortunately the only one available for our requirements at the time of booking and it is not a very nice or nice unit. It was under another unit with a wooden floor and it was very noisy, moldy and the drainage was faulty. Water from other units backed up into our tub and shower.
