A good off the beaten track resting place in beautiful mountain surroundings.

“Beautiful place with superb animals, girafe, oryx, zebras, springboks and magnificent view”

“Enjoyed the lodge life a lot!”

EVERYTHING! Nice hosts, easy communication. A really nice, not crowdy, place to relax. Stay a bit longer! Our 2 nights weren’t enough! Varley gives you advices and tips: take them seriously. All of them are worth it! And then the dining! INCERDIBLE! All fresh and prepared with love. You will meet the animals at your cottage, on your way in and out. The night is peaceful

Food was excellent. Dark skies

“More than exceeded our expectations. A must”

Extremely responsive host, personal touches everywhere from the catering specifically to our dietary needs, to entertaining our Toddler as if he was part of their Family.

we had a great time. the food was great, the estate impressive, the animals very special. what we really liked was the way they thought along about activities. many thanks!

“Great for a stay bear Oudtshoorn - great rural setting’s”

Very friendly and relaxed and good food

My wife and I stayed overnight on a road trip from Cape Town to Johannesburg. Zwartberg View Mountain Lodge is exceptional, from being met by Constantine on arrival till departure. I would stay there at the drop of a hat. Our dinner and breakfast was superb and we made good use of the man cave/bar. Thanks once again.

“Great, getaway weekend in nature”

We liked everything about our stay. It is an excellent place to relax for a weekend away. Great views of Zebra and giraffe from our stoep. Clean, comfortable stay. Owners were great hosts and went out of their way to let us feel at home. Friendly and warm atmosphere with good food. Decorations on tables were also pretty. Will definitely return. Highly recommended.

“We had a lovely stay and wished we could have spent more time there and in the area”

Beautiful scenery, very comfortable and well designed chalets and very attentive, hospitable, charming and friendly hosts. Also, great food and wine 😁

“Wonderful stay!”

A wonderful accommodation in a quiet location surrounded by beautiful nature. The charlets are tastefully furnished. The breakfast and dinner are really delicious! Varley and his wife are wonderful hosts and warm people who went above and beyond to help and support us in a minor medical "emergency"! Thank you for that!!! We can highly recommend them!

Beautyful lodge in stunning surroundings. Great food and lovely room in own cottage.

“Highly recommend this place for a break away from the mad rush of life”

Owner managed , close to DeRus and Oudshoorn . Lovely comfortable chalet with all the amenities , Aircon , outdoor seating area and private braai . Lovely hiking trail on the property with game in close proximity and able to view the game feeding from the deck at the lodge

I recently stayed at this hotel, and it was an unforgettable experience! The breathtaking mountain scenery was like something out of a postcard, providing the perfect backdrop for a peaceful and relaxing getaway. The entire property was impeccably clean, with every detail carefully attended to, which made our stay even more comfortable. The food was absolutely top-notch—delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. Whether you're looking for a serene escape or just a place to unwind and enjoy nature, this hotel exceeds all expectations. Highly recommended!

Everything was perfect - the hosts took great care of our well-being. The meals smelled very delicious and the rooms were very comfortable. We enjoyed watching the animals and talking to our hosts! Clear recommendation!!!

Zwartberg Mountain view is an amazing place! Wonderful owners; very friendly and gave us very useful tips. The terrace is absolutely astonishing. Having a drink by the fireplace overlooking the animals and of course, Melvin. My children adored the place! Very clean and spacious lodge (we stayed in the Kudu Chalet). Would recommend!

“Best accommodation we have during 60 plus years of travel”

The family owners. They made us feel at home and did everything possible for us - provided us with detailed information regarding safari activities close-by and arranged all the bookings. The breakfast and evening meals were exceptional. A unique experience especially with the onsite wildlife including a giraffe, zebra etc. Didn’t want to leave. Many thanks to the Varty family for making our stay so relaxing and enjoyable.

The hosts put a lot of effort into taking care of their guests. Kudu accommodation is clean and large.

“Great stay in the mountains”

The chalet is organized very efficiently. It is not big but everything we needed was there. The styling was all zebra because we had the zebra lodge, liked that. The owners are kind and we’re very flexible around our children - adapted dinner time for example. When power was out due to thunder storms they cooked the oats for our kids on their own gas stove. Enjoyed the good dinner at the main lodge. Loved watching the animals that live on the property.

It was such an incredible experience, the hosts were incredibly sweet, dinner food very tasty and the animals walking around was just on another level!
