A pleasant place in the middle of nature
Pros: A pleasant place in the middle of nature, in solitude, especially suitable for a few days' stay. In the countryside by the river, without wifi, a few minutes walk from the Lisbon waterfall. There are large but very friendly sheepdogs.
Cons: You need to have a working South African SIM card to call the owner and have him open the gate. Be careful - operators often sell only data without the ability to make calls!

Pros: The location is very good. It's not far from the main attractions. It is very tranquil and beautiful. Charl was a good host. He welcomed us and made us feel comfortable. And we loved the dogs..!! They came to our cabin every day and kept watch over us. Very friendly dogs. Overall it was a very enjoyable stay.
Cons: Nothing in particular. Except there was some insect or something at night kept making fluttering noise from within the wooden roof. It felt as if something was trying to gnaw through the wooden roof. We didn't find what exactly was going on, but we did manage to sleep off.

A Week-Long Holiday at Lisbon Eco Lodge
Pros: We liked literally everything. A more than 150-year-old cottage house, yet good-looking and neat; serene ambiance of the small farm; picturesque riverbank location; proximity to Graskop (5 - 10 minutesโ drive), Sabie and Pilgrimโs Rest (25 - 30 minutesโ drive), and all the key natural wonders of the Blyde River Canyon (15 - 50 minutesโ drive depedning on what you're driving to). And of course, the host - Charl, one of the friendliest men you can imagine.
Cons: The only minor issue was the gas geyser, which worked quite unevenly, making the hot water fluctuate from nearly boiling to barely warm.
