Totally amazing. Thank you.

It was amazing from start to finish. I was welcomed by the owner when I arrived. Guests and staff are very friendly, and the staff are extremely helpful. The location and establishment is something beyond extraordinary. Photos do not do it justice; you have to be here to appreciate it. The staff and PH guys also make you feel at home. Will definitely be back.

Pragtige uitsig, sonopkomste en hartlike mense wat moeite doen vir hulle gaste.

Met ons aankoms was ons alreeds in vervoering met die ongelooflik mooi uitsig vanaf die houtdek. Ons kamer was lekker ruim en netjies, en ons koffie stasie is elke dag opgevul met koffie/tee/suiker/melk. Die kos van die restaurant was ook heerlik. Maar dis die personeel by Outspan Safaris wat die grootste pluimpie verdien - hulle het seker gemaak alles is reg gedurende ons verblyf en het uit hulle pad gegaan om ons welkom te laat voel!

Beautiful view, sunrises and warm people who make an effort for their guests.

Upon our arrival we were already in rapture with the incredibly beautiful view from the wooden deck. Our room was spacious and tidy, and our coffee station was replenished every day with coffee/tea/sugar/milk. The food from the restaurant was also delicious. But it's the staff at Outspan Safaris who deserve the biggest kudos - they made sure everything was fine during our stay and went out of their way to make us feel welcome!

Much more than just a stop over!

We had a sleepover on a very long journey and it was so much more than we expected. Extraordinary cliff site with tree dassies, good birding and a pool. We traveled on through the Transkei refreshed, after a good breakfast and a peaceful, comfortable stay.

Die area is besonders mooi en eienaar baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Baie dankie vir die verblyf by die lodge, dankie ook vir die gebruik van die kombuisgeriewe vir die voorbereiding van ons etes.

Die view is stunning.

Elke aspek van die verblyf was bo verwagting. Daar was aandete en ontbyt beskikbaar - dit was smullekker. Die view was absoluut stunning, die kamers ruim en dit was 'n ongelooflike lekker ervaring.

Lekker slaap al is jy enkel.

Dit was vir my baie aangenaam gewees om by 'n plek te bespreek wat wel cater vir enkellopendes. Ek het ook die massiewe mooi natuurtonele verskriklik geniet. Dis in die berge en die mis het ingekom en dit was net sprokiesmooi gewees! Andrew hulle het nie die hele tyd gefaff omdat ek enkellopend is nie, hulle het my die plek gewys, sleutels gegee en my gelos en dit is goud werd vir 'n enkellopende persoon, want ons wil ons eie dinge doen as ons wegbreek.

Sleep well even if you are single.

It was very pleasant for me to book at a place that does cater for singles. I also really enjoyed the massive beautiful nature scenes. It's in the mountains and the fog came in and it was just fairytale beautiful! Andrew they didn't faff the whole time because I'm single, they showed me the place, gave me keys and left me and that's worth its weight in gold for a single person because we want to do our own thing when we break away.

Vuil.

Ongelukkig was dit regtig vuil (ons vermoed die beddegoed en handdoeke word nie gewas tussen gaste nie en die gemeenskaplike kombuis was onbruikbaar). Ten spyte van 'n pragtige uitsig kan ons dit nie aanbeveel nie.

Dirty.

Unfortunately it was really dirty (we suspect the bed linen and towels are not washed between guests and the communal kitchen was unusable). Despite a beautiful view, we cannot recommend it.

Kuier was net een aand.

Geen kennismaking met eienaars gewees nie. Glad nie die moeite werd gewees om een aand oor te slaap vir die geld wat betaal is nie. Sal nie weer van Outspan se verblyf gebruikmaak nie.

Visit was only one night.

No acquaintance with owners has been. Not at all worth sleeping over one night for the money paid. Will not use Outspan's accommodation again.

Good morning Johan. Thank you for your feedback. We are the new owners of Outspan as of 1 October 2022. Although we only took over the lodge on Monday 3rd. I would like to apologize on behalf of the previous management and guarantee you that service like that will never be experienced with us. We now offer BnB and DBB.

Once again thank you for your review and all criticism is treated constructively.

Regards,

Just what we needed after a long drive.

We had a very pleasant stay at the lodge. As there were no other guests we had the entire lodge to ourselves. The lodge was clean and well located to make use of the lovely views. Thank you.
