Accommodation near Blyde River Canyon

Prescilla, Origin, Jessica, Chris, Devot, Eurice, & Sk made our stay unforgettable! Everything was amazing from the home to the 5 star service! As a bonus we even got to see the big 5 but that was just a pleasant surprise to accompany the fantastic stay! 10s across the board for everyone who helped us.

We loved our stay! The service was incredible.

The rating when I booked this holiday had dropped by the time we got there and the holiday did not live up to my expectations. One bed side light was dodgy with its connection so we didn’t use it and the other one didn’t have a lead long enough to reach the socket! Asked on arrival for this to be fixed, 4 nights later no difference. Drink service whilst friendly was slow. Cold drinks are collected by the staff from a fridge not in the bar area. The coffee machine is very slow, especially for that much needed boost before the 5.30 am Safari, we didn’t bother in the end. Asking for simple information re pick up and when we had to be out of our room was like a closely guarded secret. Only on my 3rd request was I informed. Loved the game drives but it was luck of the draw if your driver was more communicative or not. Tripped on my way back from dinner as at the top of the stairs the decking had been cut away, with no light in this area, I fell on all fours and have badly grazed knees and shin. Staff very kindly cleaned and dressed my wound. Another guest also fell on the same spot and hurt her hand. Perhaps this could be addressed quickly before a broken limb occurs. No mention was made of a trip to their sister hotel re a gift shop. I would have loved to have been offered this.

Beautifully decorated, Amazing service. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to stay overnight whole exploring Blyde River Canyon

Our entire stay here was fantastic! The staff is all very welcoming and you feel like you are family while staying here. There are 5 rooms, so it is quiet and quaint. We really enjoyed the 2 game drives per day with very skilled and knowledgeable guides and trackers. The meals were all fantastic. I did not realize we were getting 3 full meals per day plus snacks and drinks on our game drives. We also enjoyed having group meals with all the other guest and getting to know them. We arranged a couple offsite events that were also great. I would highly recommend this lodge to anyone and feel the value is tremendous for what you get!

The unit itself was clean & functional. What I disliked was I booked a unit with private pool & paid extra yet was unable to utilise the pool as it was very dirty with tissues & debris. The water & surface was also not clean. I did let them know & have followed up with a request for a refund of the extra I paid but no response over one week later…..
