One of our best weekends away.

Was a great stay, the dirt road leading to the accommodation was long due to the number of sharp rocks.

A hidden gem!

We loved our time at the Estate. We found the staff incredibly friendly and so helpful. The accommodations are wonderful. It is indeed a place to digitally detox!

Overpriced. Uncomfortable for large parties. Not value for money.

Breakage deposit is not fair. We were charged for breakages that were not our fault. The house does not comfortably accommodate 12 people. The on-site staff are also very helpful. We understand it is winter, but the small fireplace does not handle the cold well. Outrageous price for very little. There are much better venues in the area that are half the price. Sadly, what you see online does not compare to reality. We wanted to watch the Springboks vs Ireland game, but the DStv is not connected. Very disappointed and we won't return.

Good day Jason,
We are sorry you didn't enjoy your stay at our lodge. We have endeavoured to install features and details that give our guests a luxurious experience, including the fireplace imported from Germany. Our bed space adequately accommodates 12 people in the 5 rooms, so we do not understand why your party felt uncomfortable.
We wish you all the best with your future getaways.

Relaxing, remote, luxury self catering.

Lovely accommodation. A couple of km along a dirt road to get to the estate. Remote stay and about 30 min to any Midlands eating spots. Perfect spot for a few days if you want to get away and relax.

Unpleasant.

Customer service was extremely poor. Racism. Bad road. The two gentlemen who assisted with horse riding are the reason they lodge will get a star at least, otherwise, the location is the best but everything else is poor. They must fix the roads and improve on their hospitality.

Our check-in time is 14h00 - 18h00. In our correspondence we only recommend SUV`s or 4x4s. Due to heavy rainfall the road had deteriorated. We also mention that the cell reception is also minimal.
It is best not to travel this road at night, all this information was mentioned to you in our emails and watsapp messages.
We apologise that you experianced poor service.

Our stay at Star Dam was tranquil!

Lovely lodge that has an amazing fireplace! Private and secure. Fabulous for fishing as you can hire out a boat and take a cruise at your leisure. Big draw-back was no signal, so for teenagers that was not so great. Lovely scenery in the misty mountains.
