Vulture Lodge is a beautiful old mansion at the foot of the Aasvoelkop. It was very neat and classically beautiful. Our reception was warm. Real surprise on the outskirts of Zastron.

Fantastic beautiful view in the mountains. Carried on the hands.
Incredibly friendly hostess. Went out of their way to make it special with all the little treats. Felt very at home. Beautiful decor. Mattress firmer than expected and the cold winter hampered the water in the morning, but we had a lovely stay.

Slept very well. Will stay there again.
We had a very pleasant and peaceful stay here. Beautiful gardens and the old house is beautiful and the decor. People very friendly and helpful. We stayed in the Dam House. Well equipped. Didn't make good use of the self-catering as we only stayed overnight. Nell's restaurant recommended by the accommodation for our dinner was very good and tasty.

Quiet farm atmosphere.
Beautiful place and very peaceful. There is everything you need. Very neat and well maintained. Only downside is communication with owners. The entire town's power was out and the next morning the gate could not be opened with the remote control. There was no signal and none of us or any guest could turn off. Had to take the gate off the rail by necessity.

An elegant and comfortable overnight stay.
Vultures Lodge is a beautiful old Free State farmhouse that has been restored and tastefully converted into an elegant overnight resting place. Additional cottages offer a "rustic" atmosphere. I really enjoyed the fireplace, seeing as I stayed there in the middle of winter. My visit was rounded off with a first class breakfast in the historic dining room. The service was excellent.

Translate to English.
The rooms are spacious and well furnished. The environment is beautiful. However, there are better options in Zastron.
My biggest concern is security. When we returned late in the evening, the gate was open. The remote control we had did not close the gate. Anyone could therefore access the premises undisturbed. The sink in the bathroom is very small. One cannot properly wash hands or shave without wetting everything around the sink.

It was a lovely old worldly experience.
We were received very kindly. Had a great time on the stoep and barbecued. We had to bring our own wood which we communicated ahead of time. The kitchen was fully equipped, the bedding crisp and the breakfast (arranged in advance) delicious. We only missed filter coffee, but luckily brought our own supply. Will definitely come again.

Pleasant and peaceful country accommodation with interesting furniture, wooden floors and character. Good dinner. Too bad there were no coffee facilities in the rooms, and the common "coffee nook" in the dining room's good instant coffee bottle was empty, and the coffee in the coffee machine's filter was still used coffee from a previous event.

A few small things bother to recommend the neat facility without reservation.
The few things that prevent us from recommending the good facility in the nice, quiet surroundings are: no toilet paper, a shower that is hot and then suddenly gets cold and after a lot of trouble with the faucets gets hot again, leaking sink, faucets which cannot be tightened any more without running the risk of neck-turning the taps.
