Pros:

Chambre bien rénovée, lit confortable et bouillotes chaudes dans le lit au coucher. Vue magnifique de la terrasse du restaurant.

Cons:

Nous n'avons pas eu la chambre que nous avions réservée. La chambre sentait très fort la fumée. L'activité " village hike " était chère et ne valait vraiment pas la peine. Portions de nourriture gigantesques mais goût correct, sans plus. Nous n'avons pas eu d'eau chaude pour la douche.

This iconic lodge is an absolute must to complete your Sani Pass experience. Stay for the views, the warm fires and the ability to reflect on the adventure it no doubt required to get there.

Fabulous rooms with log fires and hot water bottles. Fabulous location, great pub.
Pros:

Fabulous rooms and location

Cons:

The inclusive dinner and breakfast were substandard, especially considering the high rate we paid. Both our steaks at dinner were awful, tough and chewy. - Dry/hard 'bread' with starter dips, dry cake for dessert.. disappointed, especially for Christmas eve 😞
The bar meals however were excellent!!

Pros:

We had an amazing stay at the Sami Mountain escape the drive up was incredible and the property has a spectacular view amazing staff and is really good value for money. We also love the extra long hot water bottles they provided to keep us warm through the frosty night.

Cons:

No complaints at all about the property, the only small mention is that the sign and check-in process seems unnecessarily complicated
