Wonderful stay in stunning location.

Absolutely beautiful place! Stunning views in a peaceful setting. The cabin has everything one needs for a break from the city, and the fireplace was a welcome addition when the mist rolled in. The freedom and trust the hosts give their guests is wonderful, and when wandering along the lake or through the forests one truly can relax in nature! Will 100% be back whenever we can.

Great stay!

What a stunning place to visit! Such a nice gem in the heart of Heartensburg. Very nice views of large trees and dam. Such a serene and peaceful getaway. Friendly owners and great service. Comfy accommodation, linen, extra light in case of load shedding. Nice extra for fireplace if required. Will definitely return and highly recommend.

Peaceful, beautiful friendly part of the world.

The view is absolutely beautiful from the cabin. We loved the fireplace in the evenings. Walks and runs on the farm are stunning, and my boys loved the mountain biking and fishing. The cabin is basic but is very well-equipped - everything you need to self-cater. The host was helpful. We would love to return.

Rustige wegbreek.

Ons het baie lekker gebly by Stanford. Die kothuis is soos adverteer, 'n waarde vir geld opsie, maar was heel gerieflik vir ons met ons kleuter. Stanford het baie doendinge op die plaas self en het 'n uitstekende ligging om die Magoebaskloof omgewing te verken. Ons wil graag teruggaan!

We had a very nice stay at Stanford. The cottage is as advertised, a value for money option, but was very comfortable for us with our toddler. Stanford has many activities on the farm itself and is in an excellent location for exploring the Magoebaskloof area. We would love to go back!

Overall, our stay at the honeymoon cabin was nice and very private.

Overall, our stay at the honeymoon cabin was nice and very private. However, there were a few cleanliness issues that could have been addressed. The walls could use a good wash, and the bathroom floor needs to be replaced as the wood is dented in. While we appreciated the privacy of the cabin, we suggest that the management pay more attention to the upkeep of the property. Perhaps putting up a sign to notify guests of ongoing renovations would be a good idea. Despite these minor issues, we enjoyed our stay at the honeymoon cabin and would consider staying here again in the future.

Nie genoeg soundproofing tussen die eenhede nie. Ek kan hoor as die buurman die badkamer gebruik of selfs as hulle aan ander aktiwiteite deelneem. Dit is baie onaangenaam. Daar is ook klein krapgeluide in die plafon wat soos muise klink. Dit is baie onsenuwend.

Cabin is not very clean.

Bedding needs to be replaced. No top sheet on the beds. The place needs a clean, dust on the light fittings, toothbrush splatter on all over the basin area, the silicone around the shower has been put on haphazardly, bedside tables were not wiped, still had marks from previous people staying over. We were 4 people in a 6 sleeper with one bathroom and wouldn't recommend more than 4 people in the unit as it can be a challenge. The forest and surrounding grounds were great and the location is beautiful. I do believe that with 2 days of cleaning that the cabin can be brought up to spec.

Stanford Lake Lodge 's response

My sincere apologies to Gavin for not having our Single Storey Cabin up to our normal high standards. We have as suggested by our guest spent a few days doing the things he suggested and getting it back to where it should be. This is the very first negative review of our Single Storey cabin in 18 years. The norm here is a 5 out of 5 for cleanliness. My apologies once again and we can assure our guests that they will experience our high standards.

Overall, it was a very disappointing experience, and I cannot in good conscience recommend this listing to anyone.

This is a truly sad day for me as I have never posted a negative comment or review. Upon arrival at the unit that we booked, we found that there were already other holidaymakers in our unit. We phoned the owner of the establishment, and he was as confused as we were, he told me that he would investigate the matter and get back to me. To this day he has never returned my phone call or contacted me in any way to apologise or remedy the situation. Instead, the holidaymakers also phoned him and admitted that they were in the wrong unit, but since they were already unpacked, we should just stay in the unit that they were meant to stay in as they’ve stayed there many times before. May I just add that I always look at the photos of each unit on a listing and then decide to book the unit that I prefer most for a very specific reason. The unit we were forced to stay in was outdated and smelled of mildew as if it hadn’t been aired out for months. The bedding had stains and the bath/shower was neither a decent bath nor a decent shower. The bath loses water quickly and the water pressure and temperature of the shower were a disaster.

Stanford Lake Lodge 's response

My sincere apologies to Nicole who was inconvenienced for having to stay in a unit that she did not book and for not phoning her back to thank her for graciously agreeing (after having discussions with the other guests to stay in the unit that the other guests booked). Unfortunately the guests in the wrong unit just made a mistake. I did phone the other guests back on the first night and they informed me that Nicole had been extremely nice and understanding and that Nicole was happy to move into the other unit.
Both units are marketed as being Budget Rustic Accommodation. Today I personally went into the unit, with one of our cleaning ladies, that Nicole stayed in and there was no lasting smell of mildew after the windows were opened, the bedding did not have any stains on it and the water pressure was fine.
I would like to recommend that Nicole come and stay in one of our "upmarket units" and as a gesture I would like to offer her a nice discount on their next stay for the inconvenience that they were caused.

Rustig, skoon, veilig!!!!!

Ons het in die Honeymoon Cabin gebly. Die uitsig oor die meer is pragtig. Die aanwysings na die huisie was duidelik, maar ek is bly dat ons gedurende die dag gearriveer het want die ingang na ons eenheid was baie skuins af, daar is ook baie beperkte ruimte om jou voertuig om te draai. Die 'cabin" is baie goed toegerus, ek wil veral melding maak van die linne op die gerieflike bed, dit was luuks en silwerskoon. Ons het lanklaas in so 'n goed versorgde plek gebly. Ons sal definitief weer vir Stanford Lake Lodge besoek.

We stayed in the Honeymoon Cabin. The view over the lake is beautiful. The directions to the cottage were clear, but I'm glad we arrived during the day because the entrance to our unit was very steep, there is also very limited space to turn your vehicle around. The "cabin" is very well equipped, I would especially like to mention the linen on the comfortable bed, it was luxurious and spotless. We have not stayed in such a well-kept place for a long time. We will definitely visit Stanford Lake Lodge again.

Hierdie plek gee sielerus.

Vir ons was dit die hoogtepunt van ontspan. Heerlik gestap in die woud sowel as by die Ebenezerdam verby. Ons huisie was goed toegerus. Deur die dag was die pad besig, maar in die aande was dit doodstil. Die kaggel was 'n reuse-treffer en die sundowners op 'n jetty wat op Stanford-lake lê is 'n herinnering wat lank by ons sal bly. Sal dit enige tyd aanbeveel.

For us it was the height of relaxation. Lovely walk in the forest as well as past the Ebenezer Dam. Our cottage was well equipped. During the day the road was busy, but in the evenings it was dead quiet. The fireplace was a huge hit and the sundowners on a jetty that lies on Stanford lake is a memory that will stay with us for a long time. Would recommend anytime.

Baie mooi omgewing en ligging van die eenheid - mooi uitsig.

Mooi uitsig oor die meer met kort grondpadtoegang wat selfs toeganklik met gewone vortuig is in reënweer soos wat ons gehad het. Gavin is vriendelik en behulpsaam en doen moeite. Het vir seker nie lank genoeg gebly om alles te kon doen wat daar te doen is nie.

A fabulous location with family. Great facilities and well appointed.

We stayed in the 4 bedroom luxury cottage. Two bedrooms for each family with 2 bathrooms to share. A little off the beaten track if you need to travel in the dark. I have already suggested to Gavin that he puts up exit signs on the way out to avoid getting lost. Adequately signposted coming in. If it's been raining a low vehicle would not be suitable. At least a 4x2 would be fine. I have also suggested additional hooks at the back of bedroom doors and in the bathroom to hang up towels and additional items. We had smart wedding attire to hang up and the cupboard allocated was not high enough for longer dresses. I would also suggest that the lady who cleans comes in later after 11:00. We had her knocking at our door at 09:00 and were still busy with breakfast and getting ready for the day. We had to bring our own Wi-Fi router with us. Not having a TV was appreciated, but having Wi-Fi would be an added bonus.

Plek is lekker weg van die geraas af. Vat net 'n gastofie en solar ligte saam, want hulle het baie kragonderbrekings en dis baie donker in die huis al is dit dag.

Nice among the mountains.

Rustig en mooi.

Ons het in twee van die "Budget Cottages" gebly. Die kothuise is baie goed toegerus - van die kombuis tot die slaapkamers. Ons het heerlik gekuier en ontspan op die lekker groot stoep. Die feit dat daar nie dag-besoekers toegelaat word nie is wonderlik, want dit is so stil en rustig. Ons sal verseker Stanford Lake Lodge kan aanbeveel.

The fact that no day visitors are allowed is great because it is so quiet and peaceful. We can certainly recommend Stanford Lake Lodge.

Baie stap-/fietsroetes- dit was awesome. Die Mountain Cafe is 'n groot aanbeveling. Dalk kan hulle net rigtingaanwysers op gronde aansit soontoe. Dit is in loopafstand. Kos is ongelooflik goed en waarde vir geld. Grootste pluspunt vir my was die spasie van vertrekke.

Skoon, netjies, veilig, goeie "halfwegstasie".

Dit was maklik om te vind deur gebruik te maak van Google omdat die instruksies van die oord self nie aanwysings van die kant van Polokwane af gegee het nie (dit kan maklik reggestel word). Op die plaas self was dit maklik, selfs in die donker, om die huisie te vind. Goeie verblyf en waarde vir geld. Die slaapplek, op 'n koue aand in die berge, was warm en gerieflik. 'n Ander aanbeveling: skakel 'n buitelig aan as julle weet mense gaan na donker opdaag. Goed gebly op pad wildtuin toe.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Clean, tidy, safe, good "halfway station".

It was easy to find using Google because the instructions from the resort itself did not give directions from the Polokwane side (this can be easily fixed). On the farm itself it was easy, even in the dark, to find the cottage. Good stay and value for money. The place to sleep, on a cold night in the mountains, was warm and comfortable. Another recommendation: turn on an outside light if you know people will arrive after dark. Had a good stay on the way to the wildlife park.

Stanford Honeymoon Cabin is very cosy and well equipped.

The cabin is very private and has beautiful views on Stanford Lake and surroundings. Very well located and close to restaurants and other attractions. Great for mtb riding and hiking.

Pragtige omgewing met basiese verblyf.

Die omgewing is baie mooi en rustig en mens kan jouself hoor dink. Die verblyf is basies en ekonomies maar die eenheid kort beslis opknapping. Ons eenheid se huisie se dak het gelek op 2 plekke wat ons genoodsaak het om 'n dag vroeër huistoe te kom. Ek het die eienaar in kennis gestel waarop hy gereageer het: Hulle sal daarna kyk, maar ek moet net weet dat daar 55mm reën geval het. Hy het ook aangebied om ons volgende keer teen 'n afslag bedrag te help by 'n moderne eenheid. Die mure was vuil en 'n kragpunt in die badkamer was oop wat gevaarlik is vir 2 klein kindertjies. Maar ek kan nie fout vind met die omgewing nie.

Beautiful surroundings with basic accommodation.

The surroundings are very beautiful and peaceful and you can hear yourself thinking. The accommodation is basic and economical but the unit definitely needs renovation. Our unit's cottage roof leaked in 2 places which forced us to come home a day early. I informed the owner to which he responded: They will look into it, but I just need to know that there was 55mm of rain. He also offered to help us next time at a discounted rate with a modern unit. The walls were dirty and a power point in the bathroom was open which is dangerous for 2 small children. But I can't fault the setting.

Perfekte Magoebaskloof-naweek, lekker gerus, gery, gestap, en fietsgery!

Stanford Lake Lodge was vir ons 'n heerlike wegbreek uit die stad. Ons het baie lekker gekuier. Weens weersomstandighede is die kragtoevoer met tye onderbreek, maar ons is voor die tyd en gedurende die tyd goed ingelig daaroor. Dit is 'n pragtige plaas, met die mooiste bos-staproetes en heerlike bergfietsroetes. Pragtige waterval en meer. Ons het dit baie geniet.

Rustig, romanties en genotvol!

Dit het die naweek gereën en die mistigheid wat oor die dam opkom, was ongelooflik mooi en het saam kaggeltjie wat gebrand het, die lekkerste atmosfeer geskep! Ons sou nog so bietjie wou area verken, maar reën het ons geboikot, maar die atmosfeer het beslis opgemaak vir dit! Die sonnetjie het die oggend met ons vertrek, kop uitgesteek, so ons het voor ons gery het, die Woud roete gaan stap. Die kinders het die swem in die dam vreeslik geniet!

It rained at the weekend and the fog that came up over the pond was incredibly beautiful and together with the fireplace that was burning, created the nicest atmosphere! We would have liked to explore the area a bit more, but rain boycotted us, but the atmosphere certainly made up for it! The sun set out with us in the morning, peeking out, so before we drove, we went for a walk on the Forest route. The children really enjoyed swimming in the pond!

The unit is very neat and secure, but the layout with toilet next to the kitchen is very funny, especially with a pole next to the bed, it is not comfortable to get in and out. But the unit is very well equipped, and ready for up to 6 people to stay there.

Baie mooi omgewing, gerieflike verblyf, lekker rus en aktiwiteite vir dié wat wil stap, bergfietsry of voëls wil kyk.

Wow, wat 'n spesiale plekkie. Ek en my vrou was beïndruk met die ruim houthuis waarin ons tuis gegaan het. Die plek was netjies en skoon en toegerus met alles wat nodig is om lekker gemaklik te kuier. Hout en vuuraanstekers word in die huis gelos en jy betaal net vir wat jy gebruik. Daar is baie inligting en kaarte in die huis. Die uitsig oor die meer is asemrowend en die res van die plaas is baie mooi. Ons het lekker gekuier en in die omgewing is baie om te sien en doen. Lekker eetplekke is naby. Die enigste klagte wat ons het, is dat ons nie langer kon bly nie. Sal baie graag weer wil gaan en hopelik bietjie langer kan kuier.

Wood and firelighters were available in the house and you just pay for what you use. The views of the lake are breathtaking, so is the rest of the farm. We had a wonderful time there with so much to see and do. Great eateries nearby. The only complaint would be that we couldn't stay longer. Would love to go there again, only longer next time.

Ons was 4 dames wat elk ons eie kamer gehad het op 'n pragtige plaas. Rustig, geen verkeer en baie veilig.

Die huis is basies toegerus, nie luuks nie, maar wat ons nodig gehad het was beskikbaar. Die badkamers het albei 'n bad gehad en een stort wat vir ons heerlik was. Op die plaas is lekker stapplek en mooi asaleas en bome. Omdat ons Cheerio-tuine wou besoek was dit gerieflik naby en eetplekke ook. Gavin was baie vriendelik en ons het sy suster se "growth centre" geniet.

Uitstekende geriewe vir oornag, naweke of vakansie, rustig, veilig, privaat en uitstekende natuurtonele.

Stanford Lake Lodge is uitstekend geleë naby aan alles en tog ver genoeg om privaat te wees, naby aan alle sleutelpunte van die gebied en baie goed geleë tussen die plantasies en damme wat vars lug en asemrowende uitsigte bied so ver die oog kan sien. Definitief 'n plek wat ek weer sal besoek.

Excellent facilities for overnight stays, weekends or holidays, quiet, safe, private and excellent natural scenery.

Stanford Lake Lodge is superbly located close to everything yet far enough to be private, close to all key points of the area and very well situated amongst the plantations and ponds offering fresh air and breathtaking views as far as the eye can see. Definitely a place I will visit again.

Lekker spasie en geriewe.

Ek het twee aande in een van die kothuise gebly en het dit baie gemaklik bevind. Dit is gerieflik naby aan Haenertsburg en besienswaardighede.

Absoluut idillies en so vriendelik en professioneel.

Geen kritiek nie, want dit was 'n ongelooflike ervaring en so 'n gemaklike ervaring deur alles wat net in plek val van die oomblik wat die bespreking gedoen is.

Baie mooi natuur, maar nie 5-ster nie ... nogtans heerlik gebly!

Die plek was baie netjies, skoon en volledig toegerus. Ons voel dat die standaard van die slaapplek beter kon wees (bed baie sag). Die uitsig is pragtig, en verder was dit 'n aangename ervaring. Dankie Gavin vir jou vriendelike diens!

Op 'n wonderlike plek geleë, vir die perfekte wegbreek!

Die besoek was net wonderlik. Die area is ideaal vir 'n goeie wegbreek, is ongeveer 10 minute van Haenertsburg vir die noodsaaklikhede. Die kothuise is basies net vir slaap, maar voldoende. Die Fietsry roetes is 'n lekker uitdaging vir die hele gesin. Die staproetes is 'n moet vir almal wat Stanford Lake Lodge besoek. Dit is eenvoudig prentjiemooi! Oor die algemeen het ek die besoek baie geniet! Sal dit beslis voorstel vir daardie blaaskans.

Located in a great location, for the perfect getaway!

The visit was just wonderful. The area is ideal for a good break, is about 10 minutes from Haenertsburg for the essentials. The cottages are basically just for sleeping, but adequate. The Cycling routes are a fun challenge for the whole family. The hiking trails are a must for anyone visiting Stanford Lake Lodge. It is simply picture perfect! Overall, I really enjoyed the visit! Would definitely suggest it for that break.

Swak. Swak. Swak.

Stanford Lodge is die swakste verblyf waar ek nog bespreek het. Die foto op die webblad is misleidend aangesien die verblyf nie by die houthut is soos deur die gas verwag word nie, maar ongeveer 2 km van die meer/dam af in 'n ou plaashuis wat in verskeie, swak toegeruste wooneenhede verdeel is. Daar is nie 'n lugversorger, braaigeriewe of 'n swembad nie. Die eenheid wat aan my toegewys is het geen uitsig nie. By navraag is ek gesê om in die meer/dam "te gaan swem as ek wil swem". Die meer/dam is egter ontoeganklik want die oewer is toegegroei met riete. Die verblyf was van so 'n swak aard dat ek binne 'n halfuur na my aankoms beslluit het om op te pak en alternatiewe verblyf te gaan soek. Gelukkig kon ek verblyf bekom vir my en my gesin. Ek het natuurlik my 50% deposito verbeur wat ek vooraf en ter goeder trou moes betaal maar nog steeds is ek deur 'n uiters ongeskikte eienaar / bestuurder van Stanford Lake Lodge gedreig dat hy my in die hof vir klein eise sal sien nadat ek hom meegedeel het dat die verblyf wat hy aangebied het nie aanvaarbaar is nie en dat ek eerder ander verblyf sal gaan soek. Ek sal enige voornemende besoeker ten sterkste afraai om by Stanford Lake te bespreek!

Weak. Weak. Weak.

Stanford Lodge is the worst accommodation I have ever booked. The photo on the web page is misleading as the accommodation is not at the log cabin as expected by the guest, but about 2 km from the lake/dam in an old farm house which is divided into several poorly equipped residential units. There is no air conditioner, braai facilities or a swimming pool. The unit assigned to me has no view. When asked, I was told to "go swimming if I wanted to swim" in the lake/pond. However, the lake/pond is inaccessible because the banks are overgrown with reeds. The accommodation was of such a poor nature that within half an hour of my arrival I decided to pack up and look for alternative accommodation. Fortunately, I was able to find accommodation for me and my family. Of course I forfeited my 50% deposit which I had to pay in advance and in good faith but still I was threatened by a most incompetent owner/manager of Stanford Lake Lodge that he would see me in small claims court after I told him felt that the accommodation he offered was not acceptable and that I would rather look for other accommodation. I would strongly discourage any prospective visitor from booking at Stanford Lake!

Nice stay, close to everything around Magoeba's Kloof.

All in all we've had a good time. My only negative remark is the lack of clear indications of where one should turn off the main road to the lodge. I was almost involved in an accident as other motorists did not understand my need for driving slowly in the dark as I was scanning the area for the turnoff point to the lodge. I'd recommend a big sign, perhaps even lit up at night to make it easy to find. A pity there's not a 1-bedroom facility overlooking one of the dams.
