Our stay was out of this world with Sheryl being the best host we could ever get. Breakfast the highlight and the rooms were really superb.

Beautiful pool and most of all ideal location close to all amenities

Nice place
The forword river lodge is well located close to the n2. It offers parking space and a clean outdoor pool. The landlords and staff are very helpful & friendly. The interior is a little outdated but still very comfy. It is clean and queit and located close to spar and two restaurants. A perfect place for a pitstop.
