Excellent, exceptionally unique adventure.

Absolute special homily welcome with fireplace started in room and 5-course meal. Better quality food and taste than anywhere else we have been. The road trip up Naude's Pass and down each 4 hours with absolute nature's beauty.

Pragtige plek.

Goeie en vriendelike ontvangs. Die kamer is luuks met die mooiste uitsig. Die ete was van fynproewer gehalte. Die atmosfeer in die hotel was gasvry. Die personeel was almal baie behulpsaam.

Ontspannend. Afgesonderd en snoesig.

Ons was op reis om sneeu te gaan soek in die Oos-Kaapse hooglande en Tenahead het gelyk soos die plek wat ons die sneeu beste sal kan sien. Ons was 'n dag te vroeg gewees vir die sneeu by Tenahead, maar die verblyf, diens en kos was uit die boonste gestoeltes gewees. 'n Ware 5-ster-ervaring.

Relaxing. Secluded and cuddly.

We were traveling to look for snow in the Eastern Cape highlands and Tenahead seemed like the place where we would be able to see the snow best. We were a day too early for the snow at Tenahead, but the accommodation, service and food were top notch. A true 5 star experience.

Very pleasant.

Wonderful host and hostess. Although the food was tasty and beautifully plated, it was quite basic. I can have that at home. For the price we paid to stay there, we expected a better dinner.

Amazing - very remote! 90km of dirt road, very slow going, but worth the trip to get there.

This place did not disappoint! it is absolutely stunning! It's remote and quiet, the scenery is breathtaking! You also definitely can't only stay one night, because the last 90 km is along a dirt road and is very slow going and quite rugged (it took us 2h45min and we damaged two tires. We do have low profile tires though!). Also, while the hotel is beautiful, it could do with a little refresh (the furniture was a little worn and there were cables running to our television joined with green electrical tape just lying out in the open - not quite what you'd expect at a 5-star establishment. Other than that - we would definitely return!

It must be one of the most beautiful locations in SA. The lodge is something out of a Scottish landscape.

The view from our room, towards the little stream is absolutely beautiful. The food is 5 star. I have no idea how they are able to get fresh product considering the distance to the nearest town.

Ongerepte pragtige omgewing. Absoluut unieke ervaring. Uitstekende diens en bederf.

Ongelooflike, ongerepte omgewing waar 'n mens bederf word met 5-gang-maaltyd. Tydens aandete is die warm komberse aangesit in die kamer en kaggel aan die brand gesteek. Beslis aan te beveel vir enige reisiger. Ons het Tenahead besoek, nadat ons met ons fietse tot daar gereis het.

Unspoilt beautiful surroundings. Absolutely unique experience. Excellent service and pampering.

Incredible, unspoiled surroundings where one is spoiled with 5-course meal. During dinner, the warm blankets were put on in the room and the fireplace lit. Definitely recommend for any traveler. We visited Tenahead, having traveled there on our bikes.

Pragtige ligging en regtig 5 ster.

Ons was die enigste gaste in die lodge, maar die weer was te onplesierig om buite tyd te spandeer. Die kamers is egter heerlik toegerus en ons het die kaggel aangesteek en die mooi uitsigte geniet. 5 ster bediening met die etes!

Beautiful location and really 5 star.

We were the only guests in the lodge, but the weather was too unpleasant to spend time outside. However, the rooms are wonderfully equipped and we lit the fireplace and enjoyed the beautiful views. 5 star service with the meals!

Romantiese wegbreek in die mooiste berge.

Om by Tenahead uit te kom is nogal moeilik maar absoluut die moeite werd. Die pad is regtig rof. Sjef Heinrich se kos was absoluut uit die boonste rakke. Die personeel het uit hulle pad gegaan om ons verblyf so lekker as moontlik te maak. Ons sal Tenahead by al ons vriende aanbeveel.

Getting to Tenahead is quite difficult but absolutely worth it. The road is really rough. Chef Heinrich's food was absolutely top notch. The staff went out of their way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. We will recommend Tenahead to all our friends.

Awesome!

Dit was 'n ongelooflike ervaring gewees! Het verloof geraak op die 13 Junie 2016 toe dit gesneeu het. Die pad op na die lodge is 'n challenge maar glad nie onbegangbaar nie, 'n moet vir enige iemand wat wil wegkom na 'n stukkie paradys!

Dit was slegs 'n oorslaapplek op pad na Lesotho, maar ons sou langer in hierdie fantastiese plek wou bly.

'n Mens het tyd nodig om alle doendinge wat Tenahead bied, te kan geniet. Sal nie omgee om in die winter hier vasgekeer te wees nie!

It was only a stopover on the way to Lesotho, but we would have liked to stay longer in this fantastic place.

Remote and beautiful!

Out of the ordinary and very beautiful. The dinner offered at the Lodge started really well, but mains and the dessert weren't great. Overall though, this didn't detract from the experience. However, I wouldn't agree with the statement that it's a 5 star meal.

Teleurstelling in paradys.

Mooiste mooi ligging ooit. Die uitsig slaan jou asem weg. Die kamers is stylvol en baie gemaklik. Ongelukkig was die diens baie swak, beslis nie 5-ster nie. Maar die kos het ons ervaring van Tenahead geruïneer, dit het gesmaak asof die sjef heeltemal onopgelei, sonder ervaring en sonder palet is. Dit was die swakste kos, 5-gang aandete en ontbyt, wat ons nog ooit voor moes betaal. Groot teleurstelling.

Disappointment in paradise.

Most beautiful beautiful location ever. The view takes your breath away. The rooms are stylish and very comfortable. Unfortunately the service was very poor, definitely not 5 star. But the food ruined our experience of Tenahead, it tasted like the chef was completely untrained, inexperienced and without a palette. It was the worst food, 5 course dinner and breakfast, we have ever had to pay for. Big disappointment.
