Very nice farm, houses need a firm hand.
The reserve part of the lodge looks top notch. The accommodation definitely needs a woman's hand to be cleaner. There are many items in the houses that are broken. They can make an effort to try to do more control over the flies with red tops.

Great to be in the field.
With the lot of rain, the dirt road was slippery and muddy, but not a problem if you've gotten to know it before. The Micra just needs a good valet after this! Efforts were made to inform me of alternative routes.

Peaceful walk in the forest.
We had a great time in Chalet 2 this weekend! It's a comfortable little house with a lovely stoep and braai place. It's a very private little house and the furniture is comfortable and the basic appliances are there. Thank you for the friendly reception and stopping by during the weekend Lizette! You were so busy after the big fire on the farm, but have always made sure that your guests are 100% happy with everything. We will definitely break away from the city again and visit you to recharge.

Not quite what we expected. Have a good time and enjoy our time.
Little privacy due to no curtains in the living room, very close to N1, no silence. Overall a good experience and we were able to relax. They might just put more effort into showing the guests the lions. Would have enjoyed it.

Peace for your soul.
We really enjoyed the pit stop on the way to Cape Town. As soon as you drive in at the gate, the tranquility falls on you. The people there are friendly and make you feel welcome. The cottages are clean and well laid out. We really enjoyed our time here and will definitely use the place again in the future.

Very pleasant.
The dirt road to the Lodge is a bit long after a long day on the road, but it is already part of a wild ride. The chalets are very comfortable and have everything you need. Only take own wood for braai. For R 250.00 extra you can do a game drive yourself which is worth it.

Clean, tidy and well furnished with friendly service.
Was a very peaceful and comfortable stay. Chalets are cleaned every day and fresh towels provided. Neat braai area in front of each unit. Just a few things to note: Breakfast is not included and also not easy to prepare yourself as there is no stove - only microwave oven and electric wok. Firewood for braai is not provided and must be purchased yourself. Game drive (in own car) is extra at R250 which is a bit expensive for what it entails. No hesitation in recommending the accommodation - very nice.

Pleasant and quiet.
Well received and well treated. Staff is friendly. Room is convenient. The absolute silence of the forest is unfortunately lacking as the highway runs to the farm. For those who do not have 4x4 vehicles, a fairly long gravel road to the farm is your prime. Generally a nice getaway. Will visit again.

Unprofessional and disappointing.
When booking our accommodation, the lady called us and said that the accommodation we had booked was no longer available. I booked a stand-alone chalet with sleeping space for 6. She reassured me and said that the accommodation she is giving us (Cabana) is exactly the same, even if the difference is the unit is not stand-alone and for the misunderstanding and inconvenience closes she brings us breakfast every morning. When we got there she was talking to someone on the phone in front of me as a customer about her salary which is unprofessional in the first place. I felt sorry for her because I earn 5 times her salary. After that she complained about other guests whose children are naughty, immediately we think what she will complain about us to other people. Also during the day I had to walk up to her and ask her what time breakfast was. She appeared as if she could not remember the breakfast. She then only brought breakfast the first morning. The second morning we waited until 9:00 for breakfast and there was no one available at the Lodge. We just decided to pack our things and have breakfast on the way home, because I didn't take anything with me for breakfast because she told me she was going to give breakfast every morning. It's Cabana we stayed in is not at all practical for a family of 4 people. The bathroom, room and kitchen are 1 open-plan room. With 2 little girls, my husband was very uncomfortable using the bathroom and showering. We decided on Sunday morning that we wanted to drive and explore the place, we were just away from the Lodge when the lady called and told me other people pay to drive around, as if we don't have money to pay for a game drive . Well then, I feel she should have given us the following upon our arrival at Weltevreden Game Lodge: Rules of Weltevreden Game Lodge, costs of game drive, times of game drive. And that we are not allowed to drive around, because according to the website there are guided game drives as extra costs, therefore we assumed that we can drive around on our own without guided staff. My husband is also in the wildlife business and catches wild animals for a living. Therefore we do not need an escorted person. Suggestions cabana needs: Washcloth so we can wash dishes and a broom. On the first night we lent cutlery to people who didn't even have cutlery in their room/cabana. The people have reserved the place as overnight accommodation, but at least the people can get utensils, everyone has to eat sometime. It's not in my nature to complain, but it was just distasteful from the start.

Great weekend web break!
What a surprise right here under our noses! About all that was seen was a goat, bonus of a baby giraffe and the beautiful 4 month old lion cubs right next to our little house. Roasted in front of the house and could continuously watch the cubs and 2 beautiful cheetahs. No, leave the ipads and gadgets at home. Our children really enjoyed the wildlife. Staff are super friendly and helpful, we will definitely go again!

It is the ideal place for people who want to get away from the city noise. The birds' sounds in the morning and especially at night were fantastic. The chalet was painfully neat and clean. We will definitely go again and have already told friends about the place.

Great getaway spot.
Weltevreden Game Lodge takes full advantage of everything they can from a small piece of land. One does not have to drive too deep into the forest to see interesting things such as white springbok or black and white bellies. The chalets are very neat and you feel immediately at home. Definitely recommendable for a weekend getaway with good friends near Bloemfontein.
