Sanet was very accommodating and we enjoyed our stay and enjoyed the seafood lunch (top) and our later order of the BBQ wings (hit a spot) and enjoyed the breakfast (bumper basher) before we left 👍👍👍

“The staff were extremely helpful. Loved the decor of the restaurant and the lodge. The food was delicious.”
The Grille Shack Restaurant’s food was delicious! Loved the décor in the rooms. Sanette arranged a sleeper couch for the kids to sleep on.

How can u have an overnight facility where u are told the restaurant closes at 6pm and the kitchen at 5pm. When we arrived we were expecting to have a late dinner and drinks with friends but had to do that in our room. The manager was turning guests away from 4.30pm and the staff could not wait for us to leave and we were asked a few times if there was anything else we needed before they close. I would not advise friends or family to stay there and we will definitely not be back, a very disappointing experience

“Fun!”
Super cute and unique stay! Good value for money and good care of guests. Also a plus that they are totally off-grid during bad loadshedding stages.

Amazing place to be especially at night when it’s quiet. Just as a tip the unit closest to the parking is Morris which would be easier for older people or those who don’t want to walk on a rocky path to Austin (middle unit) or Wolseley (last unit).

“Beautiful and quiet setting along Clarence Drive with mountain views”
Beautifully appointed room with everything you need, including a fire place with a supply of firewood. The fire place came in very handy as a cold front was passing through. Also has an outside shower which will be very handy in summer. Also had a very nice meal at the restaurant next door (they close at 17h00 though), so make sure you eat before then or take a take-away and heat it up in the room. The rooms are equipped with a microwave oven, plates and utensils.
