Stunning, quiet location in the mountains.

The accommodation and facilities were perfect for us. Out of town, but close enough if you wanted to go elsewhere. A gem.

Verfrissend.

Die akkommodasie was baie skoon, maar 'n verbetering sou wees as koffie, tee en melk beskikbaar was vir ten minste die hoeveelheid aande van oorbly. Die huisies raak ook ongelooflik koud, 'n elektriese kombers of warmwatersak sou baie welkom wees!

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!

Loved it, all the kids loved the play area and the fact that they could walk in the forest. These city kids loved it.

Out type of place to stay. Open fresh air and clean air. They did so many new things that they have never done.

A complimentary bundle of wood and matches would be much appreciated in the cooler months. Our first night was rather chilly. Also a lantern or candles for load shedding.

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.

Out of the ordinary location. A true lodge in the sense of the word.

This was a unique experience for us as a family. The lodge is located in the mountains and is off the beaten track. The newer lodge was lovely and homely. Be warned the climate is completely different from George itself. The nights can get cold even in December. Overall, this lodge is highly recommended.

Breathtaking views, true soulfood!

We had a lovely & very comfortable stay at Highlands Lodge. The location is magnificent and it was an absolute treat to experience the 'misty mountains' in the late afternoon. We took a hike further up the mountain and the views were incredible. Lize-Mari, the host, was very friendly and accommodating. The grounds are beautifully kept and the swimming pool is pristine! We will most definitely be back! An all-round wonderful experience!!

Rustig en baie mooi.

Om die lodge op foto's te sien is iets anders as in die werklikheid. Dis regtig baie mooi in die berge met die natuurskoon. Ons het wel net daar geslaap en deur die dag George tot Mosselbaai verken. Dis nie ver van alles nie en dis 'n belewenis om oor die Outeniquapas te ry daarna toe. Lizemari het ons vriendelik ontvang en haar aanwysings is in die kol. Mens sukkel nie om die plek te kry nie. Die GPS vat jou net tot op 'n punt. Sy is behulpsaam en vriendelik. Sal enige tyd weer daar gaan bly.

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.

Ek't ook aanbeveel dat hulle dit miskien oorweeg om WiFi in te sit agv die ligging van die plek en die swak sein vir sefoondienste.

Ideale plek om jou battery te herlaai.

Ons het die kort wegbreek terdeë geniet. Plek is sentraal geleë vir 'n vinnige kuier in Knysna, Oudtshoorn ens. Alles wat jy benodig is in die huisie. Die stap in die natuur was wonderlik en die swem daarna was 'n lekker lafenis. Ons is binnekort weer terug.

Het Lodge vir 'n week bespreek.

Hele week ysig koud en reënerig gewees. Kids was bitter vervelig, want kon nie swem of in parkie speel nie. Selfs gesukkel om etes voor te berei aangesien braai buite is en heeltyd nat reën. Stofie bietjie klein so neem lank om vir 6 mense so kos voor te berei. Ons was ook nie ingelaat volgens die tyd wat aangedui was nie en was weereens gevra om lodge 'n uur vroeër te verlaat. Pak baie warm klere in, want omdat dit tussen 2 berge lê is dit baie koud. En min vir kids om te doen as weer sleg is. En sorg dat jy ekstra geld saamneem, want word eers by kantoor gevra vir R500 breakage deposit.

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.

Gasvrou Lizemari was hulpvaardig en vriendelik. Alles is skoon en netjies. Lodge is binne 30 min van besienswaardighede in Oudtshoorn, Knysna, George en Mosselbaai.

Pragtige omgewing.

Die lodge is tussen die berge en die natuurskoon is baie mooi. Die waterval is naby en maklik bereikbaar. Die tuin is pragtig. Eenheid 13 waar ons tuisgegaan het is basies toegerus sonder 'n TV en koffieskinkbord. Die inkloktyd is verwarrend aangesien dit 19:00 op die webtuiste is, maar volgens ontvangs is dit 18:00. Ons het die deposito baie vinnig terug ontvang, dankie. Ons sal weer die lodge besoek.

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.

Rustig en stil.

Ons het baie lekker gebly, maar het gesukkel met pype in die toilet wat nie reg werk nie en die water stop. Die kraan drip heeltyd op die vloer.

We had a nice stay, but struggled with the pipes in the toilet which didn't work correctly and stopped the water. The tap dtripped all the time on the floor.

Waarde vir geld as jy gerieflik wil bly, maar steeds naby die natuur wil voel.

Sentraal geleë om die Tuinroete van te verken. Gerieflike verblyf, pragtige swembad, voel baie naby aan natuur.

Value for money if you want to stay comfortably, but still want to feel close to nature.

Centrally located to explore the Garden Route. Comfortable accommodation, beautiful swimming pool, feels very close to nature.

Eenvoudige houthuisies, netjies en skoon met mooi uitsig op die berg. Ons het lekker gebly in die houthuisies en kon ook 'n hele ent in die fynbos stap.

Ons het 2 nagte lekker hier gebly in die bosbou-tipe huisies! Dit was eenvoudig, netjies en skoon (handdoeke word voorsien). Die water in die huisies proe heerlik en is skoon bergwater! Ongelukkig was daar nie hout nie, maar gelukkig het ons ingepak. Neem jou eie rooster en driehoek ook saam. Die nagte kan koud wees in die winter en lente, so vra vir 'n huisie met 'n kaggel (daar is 'n verwarmer in elke huisie). Ons is natuurmense en het dus die berg en fynbos-omgewing baie geniet. L.W. daar is 'n breekskadedeposito wat betaalbaar is met aankoms (kontant alleen - sien webtuiste).

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.

Rustig.

Dit was 1 fantastiese vakansie. Die uitsig op die berge is asemrowend. Personeel is baie hulpvaardig en vriendelik. Het nooit die hitte van die omgewing ervaar nie omdat dit so in die berge geleë is, was dit heerlik koel. Swembad is goed versorg. Ons eenheid was netjies.

Restful.

It was a fantastic holiday. The view of the mountains is breathtaking. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Never experienced the heat of the environment because it is so situated in the mountains, it was delightfully cool. Pool is well maintained. Our unit was neat.

Awesome!

Die vriendelikste ontvangs en gasvryheid. Baie privaat vir die perfekte romantiese wegbreek. Uitsig bo vanaf die staproete is asemrowend. Bly gerus by die Highlands Lodge.

Fantasties.

Definitief waarde vir jou geld. Familie vanaf die Kaap het ons daar kom groet en onmiddellik verlief geraak op die plek en soveel van Highlands Lodge gehou dat hulle ook van die lodge gebruik gemaak het vir hulle verblyf en my vreeslik bedank omdat ons hulle aan die plek bekend gestel het.
