Pros:

Beautiful surroundings and very friendly staff, good breakfast. A lovely out of town experience so close to the city.

Cons:

Wear and tear is showing and it is due for an upgrade. A long dirt road to get to the lodge which at night is an issue.

Pros:

The view of the mountain at night and daylight, was mind blowing and refreshing

Cons:

Our room wasn't cleaned, it was cleaned after we asked about it in the afternoon. The drive to the location was stressful, especially after it has rained.

Loved the stay - perfect location for couples to unwind and relax.
Pros:

Peaceful weekend getaway, not too far from JHB. Place is small and quiet - ideal if you want to get away from the busy parts of Gauteng.

Cons:

The last few KM’s of dirt road are not the best. You can get through with a normal car, but just need to be careful and take it easy/slow.
