Pragtige natuurskoon. Gasvrye hosts, off the beaten track.

Ontbyt, aandete en drankies was uitstekend en goeie waarde vir geld. Zoli en span was ongelooflik gasvry. Kamers en beddens was die skoonste wat ons nog gesien het. Die grondpad na die plaas is lank en moontlik nie geskik vir sedan motors nie.

Beautiful scenery. Gracious hosts, off the beaten track.

Breakfast, dinner and drinks were excellent and good value for money. Zoli and team were incredibly hospitable. Rooms and beds were the cleanest we have ever seen. The dirt road to the farm is long and possibly not suitable for sedan cars.

A hidden gem off the beaten track.

We had a lovely one-night stay at Stagger Inn Guest Lodge and will definitely be back for longer to fully appreciate its tranquility and immerse ourselves in nature. Even though we arrived in the late evening, Zoliswa, Luanda, and the other staff pulled out all the stops to ensure we were comfortable and had enough wood and bedding. We reached our unit with minimal fuss (the GPS tends to give incorrect directions for the long stretch of dirt road, so be sure to phone ahead to avoid making a wrong turn). We were very happy with the location, communication, facilities, and level of comfort offered. A very pretty little treasure that's a real find and pet-friendly to boot!

Thank you, Christina.
We are humbled. This is so encouraging and we look forward to your next stay.
Stagger Inn will always be a Home away from Home.
Thank you for pointing out the issue with the GPS. We are now attending to it.
Thank you once more.

Further from the main road than expected, and road condition is poor.

Magnificent setting. We used it as an overnight stop, so the road condition and distance from the main road were inconvenient. If it was our destination then this would not have been an issue. The hosts were friendly and accommodating. Again, pet friendly.

Signage needs to be in place.

Signage to the property should be improved, not easy to find once off the tar road. You require a 4 x 4 vehicle, which was not mentioned at the time of booking. Maybe this only applies when it rains!

Mooi natuurskoon.

Dis 'n baie mooi plek om te bly. As gevolg van die droogte het ons egter geen water gehad nie. Dit was 'n bietjie 'n gesukkel om die toilette te spoel en die skottelgoed skoon te kry. Iets wat bietjie ontstellend was, was die groot mannetjiesbobbejaan wat by die ingang gelê het (hy was geskiet). Dit was nie 'n mooi gesig nie. Die pad na die woonstelle toe was ook baie sleg, ons het gesukkel met ons sedanvoertuig. Daar was geen selfoonopvangs nie.

Beautiful scenery.

It's a very nice place to stay. However, due to the drought, we had no water. It was a bit of a struggle to flush the toilets and get the dishes clean. Something that was a bit disturbing was the large male baboon lying at the entrance (he had been shot). It was not a pretty sight. The road to the apartments was also very bad, we struggled with our sedan vehicle. There was no cell phone reception.

Baie vriendelike eienaars.

Het baie lekker gebly, en die diens was regtig wonderlik gewees. Hulle het vir ons in die aand kos gemaak, wat baie lekker was, en baie moeite was daarin gesit.

Had a great stay, and the service was really great. They cooked us food in the evening, which was very nice, and a lot of effort was put into it.

Alhoewel baie skoon, sal dit glad nie aanbeveel nie.

Pad na die gastehuis baie sleg, GPS nie korrek nie. Geen telefoon kommunikasie, niemand by ontvangs. Onbewus van bespreking. Plek is verwaarloos, fotos glad nie dieselfde as werklikheid.

Although very clean, would not recommend at all.

Road to the guest house very bad, GPS not correct. No phone communication, no one at reception. Unaware of discussion. Place is neglected, photos not at all the same as reality.

Pragtige plek, baie skoon en netjies. Besonderse diens.

Alhoewel die paaie verspoel het, het die werkers uit hul pad gegaan om dit aangenaam te maak. Die verblyf was baie skoon en netjies. Nie eers loadshedding kon die goeie diens keer. Hulle het selfs 'n fles warm water reggehad die oggend vir koffie.

Beautiful place, very clean and tidy. Special service.

Although the roads were washed out, the workers went out of their way to make it pleasant. The accommodation was very clean and tidy. Not even loadshedding could stop the good service. They even had a flask of hot water ready for coffee in the morning.

The service is outstanding as are the staff. Zoli is an outstanding example of customer service and sets a very high expectation for her staff which both Sylvia and Monica easily meet. A very enjoyable experience.

Was heerlik en baie rustig maar was nie voorbereid op die grondpad nie.

Sal nice wees as 'n mens voor die tyd gewaarsku word dat jy eintlik 'n 4x4 nodig het om daar uit te kom. Ons het 'n nuwe kar en was nie baie gelukkig om op so 'n vieslike grondpad te ry nie. Sal lekker wees om voorbereid te wees en dan te besluit of jy daar wil ry of nie.

Was lovely and very peaceful but was not prepared for the dirt road.

Would be nice if one was warned ahead of time that you actually need a 4x4 to get there. We have a new car and were not very happy driving on such a dirty dirt road. It would be nice to be prepared and then decide if you want to drive there or not.

Great stay with wonderful hosts.

My dog and I were given such a warm and friendly welcome by my hosts. Perfect stopover location with clean and spacious pet-friendly rooms, with WiFi and DStv, in an old farm lodge in a beautiful garden setting, with great walks, surrounded by a working farm, dams, rivers and sweeping mountain views. The dinner buffet and free breakfast were delicious, filling and such a bonus. Will definitely stop here again on that long road. Very safe for single female travellers.

Ongelooflike omgewing, geriewe onderstandaard.

Kombuis is nie toegerus vir 4 persone nie. Geen glase, slegs 2 papbakkies. Slegs 2 gerieflike sitplekke na lang reis. Deure maak nie toe nie. Kombuislaai is afgebreek. Koue water loop bitter stadig in die bad in. Huisie kort beslis afronding om dit waarde vir geld te maak. Omgewing is lieflik en stil.

Unbelievable environment, facilities below standard.

Kitchen is not equipped for 4 people. No glasses, only 2 bowls of porridge. Only 2 comfortable seats after long journey. Doors don't close. Kitchen drawer was broken. Cold water runs very slowly into the bath. House definitely needs finishing touches to make it value for money. Environment is lovely and quiet.

Sal terug gaan om ook te gaan jag daar

Baie lekker gewees en sal weer gebruik. Enigste voorstel is dalk, die GPS het ons laat regs draai waar ons nie moes nie. Daar kan dalk n pyl bordjie wees vir "reguit aan". En toe ons later MOET regs draai het ons daardie bord ge-interpreteer as eers reguit aan en dan later regs.

Will go back to hunt there too

Very nice and will use again. Only suggestion is maybe, the GPS made us turn right where we shouldn't have. There might be an arrow sign for "straight on". And when we later HAD to turn right, we interpreted that sign as first straight on and then later right.

Baie lekker gebly en gawe mense en hulle laat jou tuis voel.

Heerlike agtermiddag en aand deurgebring met die wind wat deur die bloekombome waai en gesels. Heerlike braai gehad en dit was baie rustig.
