Picturesque location, value for money.

During my stay at Qwantani, I was thoroughly impressed with the facilities provided. The accommodation was not only comfortable but also well maintained, offering a blend of luxury and nature. The staff were exceptional. From the moment I arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and a genuine willingness to assist. The restaurant staff delivered outstanding service, ensuring that every meal was enjoyable. One of the standout aspects of my visit was undoubtedly the breathtaking scenery surrounding the resort. Stunning mountain views with lush landscapes that were truly breathtaking. The serene environment provided a perfect backdrop for relaxation and reflection. The only downside of the trip was the gravel road leading to the resort. A mere 21 km took an hour, so one can only imagine the snail pace at which one has to travel. The loose gravel poses a severe threat to vehicles; we can only hope that the resort considers improvements, like perhaps incorporating a boat service from the beginning of the gravel road inclusive of a shuttle service. This could save guests the hassle of using their own vehicles and avoid any hazards. Despite the road conditions, my stay was largely positive.

Gegaan met goeie verwagtinge maar was teleurgesteld.

Was my 2de besoek aan Qwantani. Die bewaringfooi is toe R150 en nie R75 soos op die bespreking. Vorige besoek was kos vir my siel, maar die slag was daar geen uitsig oor die dam en bome en bure rondom vir dieselfde onkoste. Daar was ook 'n funksie in die lapa en tot laatnag 'n geraas oor 'n luidspreker sonder dat ons daarvan laat weet is. Slegs 3 groot borde, maar daar kan 6 slaap. Stoof en broodrooster het nie reg gewerk. Krane in badkamer kan nie behoorlik oopmaak by wasbak nie. Winterdovets in die somer. Nooit ingelig daar is gratis WiFi en staan ook nie op bespreking. Het gegaan om weer die mooi en rustigheid te geniet, maar was teleurgesteld. Sal dit waardeer om ligging van chalets te sien voor ek weer bespreek. Oord is netjies en sal graag weer wil gaan.

Went with high expectations but was disappointed.

Was my 2nd visit to Qwantani. The storage fee is then R150 and not R75 as on the reservation. Previous visit was food for my soul, but this time there was no view of the pond and trees and neighbors around for the same expense. There was also a function in the lapa and a noise over a loudspeaker until late at night without us being informed about it. Only 3 large plates, but can sleep 6. Stove and toaster did not work properly. Faucets in bathroom cannot open properly at sink. Winter dovets in summer. Never informed there is free WiFi and not on reservation either. Went to enjoy the beauty and tranquility again, but was disappointed. Would appreciate seeing location of chalets before booking again. Resort is neat and would love to go again.

Qwantani 's response

Dear Johannes,

Thank you for choosing to stay at Qwantani and for taking the time to reply to the review sent.

The allocation of units is not always guaranteed and yes, I understand this does pose a problem and is not ideal.

Thank you for bringing certain maintenance issues to our attention; this will certainly be looked at and attended to.

Please note that we do not have a difference between winter or summer duvets; these remain standard throughout the year.

In future, please do check when booking in order for us to try and book a chalet that would be more suitable. Although this can never be guaranteed, we will certainly try our best.

We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

Kind regards

Craig Hill

The only downfall for us was the gravel road that was not very well maintained and a normal car will get damaged on this road.

Management was very unhelpful.

I booked a unit on the website and then I decided to stay another night. The manager at first refused to let us stay in the same unit, saying that we have to move as the owner was coming to use the unit. We could not unpack our stuff because we knew we had to move, only to be told at 3pm the next day that we could stay in the same unit. This wasn’t nice as we lived out of our bags and baskets.

The unit was fair and the views quite amazing. Restaurant quite basic but enjoyable.

The access road to the resort is very poor and takes more than an hour to travel 20 km. For this reason we will not be back unless it gets fixed. We also found that the shower was not properly cleaned and this is rather unacceptable.

Lovely Easter break.

It's really difficult to get a booking and now I know why. Qwantani is really great! We booked the 3 bedroom chalet which was warm and comfortable in cold weather. The fireplace in the lounge helps. All the rooms look out over the view of the Sterkfontein Dam - absolutely beautiful. The rooms are all twin rooms, which can be converted to king beds (beds pushed together). The entertainment for the kids is well planned and in advance so you can plan which activities you want to go for upfront. The rooms are serviced daily. My only suggestion would be an indoor heated pool, so that we can still swim on holiday despite the cold weather that Harrismith is famous for. Other than that, electric blankets would be nice in the rooms.

Suid-Afrikaanse gasvryheid.

Ons was aangenaam verras deur die gasvryheid en lekker aktiwiteite wat aangebied was. Die natuurskoon is pragtig en die perderit tot bo op die berge was asemrowend. Klein details soos die braai en skons laat mens lekker welkom voel.

Surrounded by the mountains and partial view of the dam, it was a respite for the weary soul.

The location and view of the mountains and pond with the horses roaming the estate make Qwantani a sight to behold. Unfortunately the start of the holiday did not start well as there was a problem with our booking and we were unable to get the unit that was originally booked. The dirt road was fortunately not too rough to drive on, but they could work on the tarmac section as it is not a pleasant road to drive on, especially if you have a car that is quite low. So we didn't even drive out of the resort the week we were there. The restaurant is only open at certain times and we tried to order pizza 2 times where one day it was too late and the other day they could only make small ones because there was only half an hour left before it closed which I don't think is good customer service was. Maybe just a little more entertainment can be arranged over the holiday period for the children. Unfortunately we couldn't go out on the boat either, because they were still waiting for the license which was a bit disappointing. Other than that we can't complain, the units were clean and quite modern and the beds slept very well. The lady who cleaned was very friendly and always made sure there was a nice bunch of flowers on the table.

Pragtige uitsig en baie rustig.

Qwantani is 'n heerlike plek om by te bly. Genoeg spasie vir 'n gesin van 4 in die eenheid. Vol toegerus met pragtige uitsigte. Dit is 'n uur se ry vanaf die naaste winkels, so jy moet voorbereid kom vir al die etes en drankies, medisyne, ens. Daar is 'n winkel op die perseel, maar net met beperkte goed. Restaurant was ook 2 aande toe waarvan ons ook nie geweet het nie. Verder was dit 'n baie lekker naweek en ons het dit baie geniet. Kinders het lekker geslaap en heerlik gespeel en die vars lug geniet.

Qwantani is a lovely place to stay. Enough space for a family of 4 in the unit. Fully equipped with beautiful views. It's an hour's drive from the nearest shops, so you should come prepared for all the meals and drinks, medicines, etc. There is a shop on site, but only with limited items. Restaurant was also closed on 2 nights, which we didn't know about either. Furthermore, it was a very nice weekend and we enjoyed it a lot. Children slept well and played wonderfully and enjoyed the fresh air.
