Reviews

Mary 9/10

A gem of a find

Pros: Everything felt good and, more importantly, safe. Surrounded by nature, with great braai facilities and all needs met. The staff are all friendly and helpful. The walking trails are a bonus; also the friendly dog that came for morning coffee time and delicious breakfast. Supplies, like wood and charcoal, were much appreciated.

Cons: The beds in the upstairs loft were all a bit uncomfortable. A little maintenance on the kitchen sink was also in need.

Amazing location, great staff members and a place one would go for a distress

Pros: The chalet was clean and beautiful. Staff, he was amazingly friendly and welcoming. Patient with us and wonderfully explaining do's and don'ts about the environment. Bravo..!!!!

Cons: The breakfast was average they focused alot on the homemade meals of which I felt incase adding items that lot of people are used to will be great. For example, sausages.

Pros: The place is super cool. Nature, bungalow, wood. Breakfast was very tasty.

We had a very memorable and adventurous stay

Pros: My husband and I had an amazing stay at the property! The place was spotless, peaceful, and the owner's hospitality was top-notch. Everything was well-stocked and available, and we got exactly what we needed. Centrally located with easy access to all the Panorama Road has to offer, we couldn't ask for more. The views and surroundings didn't disappoint either. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Graskop!

Cons: Nothing at all.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful the lodge was spacious, cozy, and perfectly located near all the

Pros: I really enjoyed my stay at the lodge everything was just perfect! The self-catering unit had everything we needed, from an oven and microwave to a fridge and full cutlery set. The place was spacious, clean, and located right next to the gorge, close to all major attractions like Berlin Falls, Lisbon Falls, and God’s Window. What I loved most was the fireplace it was the highlight of our stay! The lodge is on top of a mountain, and since it was raining and quite cold, the fireplace kept the entire room perfectly warm, which made a huge difference. They also have a hiking trail, but we couldn’t explore it because of the weather. Overall, it’s an amazing and well-located place to relax and enjoy nature!

Cons: The only small suggestion would be to cover the braai area so guests can still enjoy it when it’s raining.
