“Our stay was absolutely fantastic and we will visit soon”
The indoor pool with 2 life guards at all times. The games room was another hit for our 2 year old. The restaurant was so sweet giving us the wine room to use for our special occasion. The food was great and the kids loved their chicken livers

“Clarens Birthday Breakaway”
I loved the scenery and the absolute fantastic facilities! We loved that there is so much to do on the Lodge itself, from fishing, trails, a great swimming pool and breathtaking views. We had the best short trip!

“A gem of a holiday”
Kiara lodge is such a beautiful place , the facilities are of such great quality, the place is so serene and clean, we just want to go back already. The restaurant food is yum yum, the well thought out interior design is so eye catching, the lighting is so unique and interesting. The restaurant team Theo and Elias provided such great service. We thoroughly enjoyed gorge swing (although I was soooo scared) with David and Patrick, these guys ROCK, they are helpful, encouraging and warm n take insta worthy pics. Rock climbing was a nice challenge and the team Sergeant n Lea kept cheering us on, it was sooo good. The onsite store Traders is full of necessities and Esther is so warm n friendly. The fireplace makes the rooms all the more cozy - the putt putt golf balls are so quirky…. I could go on and on talking about how great this place is…. The kids just couldn’t have enough of the games room, putt putt, tennis, big chess this place has activities for days for the entire family…… I had a minor incident the day before leaving and the team was so quick to attend Donald from the first aid team was so calm n collected when we were all scared and Jenna from management kept checking in. On the day of checking out the team support well BEYOND my expectations especially Moses, Gem Gem, Donald, Karen n Brandon kept coming to check on me, it took all the stress out of this incident. They continued to check up on me until I got home. Their service was just outstanding. I could go on and on about how great this place is you just have to see for yourself. The entire team provides such excellent service would be back in a HEARTBEAT …….

“Kiara is a wonderful getaway from home.”
The way Booking.com treated us when we wanted to upgrade our booking. This was the first AND MOST DEFINATELY THE LAST time we would make use of Booking .Com. Sending us up and down, not answering our callbacks and giving useless feedback, isn't the way we expect doing business with a booking service. YOU ARE THE WORST OF THEM ALL.
