Fantastiese lodge met al die geriewe wat nodig is vir 'n wegbreeknaweek.

Die natuur is baie mooi en die lodge se uiteensitting is sodanig dat jy ten alle tye dit kan besigtig. Die aandete was baie smaaklik en die kamer waarin ons was, is stylvol met al die geriewe wat nodig is.

Fantastic lodge with all the facilities needed for a weekend getaway.

The nature is very beautiful and the lodge's layout is such that you can view it at all times. The dinner was very tasty and the room we were in is stylish with all the necessary amenities.

Pragtige plek met ontspanne atmosfeer, vriendelike diens, goeie restaurant met 'n eksklusiewe ligging.

Lythwood Lodge is relatief diep in geleë vanaf die hoofpad en toeganklik slegs per grondpad. Die pad is in 'n goeie toestand en dus is Lythwood Lodge maklik bereikbaar. Dit is egter aan te beveel dat dit wel aan voornemende gaste uitgewys word. Dit alles maak egter die ligging eksklusief en baie privaat. Die landskap is byna ongerep met plaasdiere en perde in die omgewing wat 'n alles bydra tot 'n heerlike wegbreekervaring. Die diens van die personeel is deurgans baie goed en die restaurant se ontbyt en aandetes is van 'n hoogstaande gehalte. Die kamers is goed toegerus en smaakvol ingerig, meer met 'n tydlose, klassieke styl. Daar is verskeie areas binne die hoofgebou en buite op die terrein waar mens kan sit en kuier, lees of die pragtige omgewing beskou. Hoewel dit my nie gepla het nie, moet voornemende gaste in ag neem dat dit ver weg in 'n landelike gebied gelee is, dus is WiFi nie altyd so sterk nie, boorgatwater word gebruik, plaasdiere word gehoor, ens. Die televisiekanale is beperk. Mens gaan egter nie tuis in so mooi omgewing en by so mooi plek om televisie te kyk nie, so dit het my nie gepla nie. Algeheel was dit 'n heerlike verblyf, goeie wegbreek en 'n plek waar ek lekker kon rus ver weg van die stad se gejaag! Het al vir ander mense aanbeveel en self mense hierheen geneem na ek vantevore hier tuisgegaan het.

Beautiful place with relaxed atmosphere, friendly service, good restaurant with an exclusive location.

Lythwood Lodge is located relatively deep in from the main road and accessible only by dirt road. The road is in good condition and therefore Lythwood Lodge is easily accessible. However, it is recommended that it is pointed out to prospective guests. However, all this makes the location exclusive and very private. The landscape is almost unspoiled with farm animals and horses in the area which all contribute to a wonderful getaway experience. The service of the staff is very good throughout and the restaurant's breakfast and dinners are of a high quality. The rooms are well equipped and tastefully decorated, more with a timeless, classic style. There are several areas inside the main building and outside on the grounds where one can sit and visit, read or view the beautiful surroundings. Although this did not bother me, prospective guests should consider that it is located far away in a rural area, so WiFi is not always that strong, borehole water is used, farm animals are heard, etc. The television channels are limited. However, you don't go home in such beautiful surroundings and at such a beautiful place to watch television, so it didn't bother me. Overall it was a lovely stay, a good break and a place where I could rest well away from the hustle and bustle of the city! Have recommended to other people and taken people here myself after staying here before.

Refreshing away from the hustle and bustle city life.

Lythwood Lodge's natural beauty is it's biggest asset. It may take you 30 min. longer to get there from King Shaka International Airport than anticipated (due to the remote location). But worth the drive and, wait, the room phone was struck by lightning, which made the wake up call a 'manual process' and the Wi-Fi wasn't working in room 9 on the evening of 20 October 2016. Apart from that, good amenities and very helpful service.

Futlose personeel en swak onderhoud doen die lodge wat pragtig geleë is groot skade aan.

Ons het ongelukkig in die reste van 'n trou-party beland. Verveelde gaste wat op banke rondlê en duidelik nie meer inspirerende diens ontvang nie. Onderhoud van die kamers laat veel te wense oor. 'n Leeslamp sonder gloeilamp. Vrot melk in 'n yskas. Water wat sleg ruik - of was dit die rioolstelsel? Met uitklaar word ek met 'n groot rekening geskok - die lodge verstaan blykbaar nie die verhouding met LekkeSlaap nie. Geen finesse - sal met moeite terugkeer.

Incompetent staff and poor maintenance do great damage to the beautifully situated lodge.

We unfortunately ended up in the remains of a wedding party. Bored guests lounging on sofas and clearly no longer receiving inspiring service. Maintenance of the rooms leaves much to be desired. A reading lamp without a bulb. Rotten milk in a fridge. Bad smelling water - or was it the sewage system? Upon checking out I am shocked with a large bill - the lodge does not seem to understand the relationship with LekkeSlaap. No finesse - would return with difficulty.
