Beautiful lodge. The walk to the river was amazing. The staff went out of their way to make our stay awesome. It was truly amazing. And the food was divine. I would definately recommend the lodge and cannot wait to go back one day soon.

We loved the peace and quiet of the property as well as the zebra visitors who basically sat at our table for dinner. What a surprise. Spacious rooms and great facilities. ,The food was also delicious.

We stayed at the lodge traveling from the Waterberg area and preparing for a trip down the Panoramic route. The lodge is a beautiful old building in a garden with impressive big old trees. Our experience was disappointing: staff is unwelcoming, strict and not very kind. It felt more like we were commanded in a rigid procedure. Food was awful unfortunately. It felt like a beautiful place spoiled by the team running it. We will certainly not return nor recommend it unless thibgs change drasticaly in the way it’s run

We spent 2 nights here on our way from Blyde Canyon to Kruger and what a find this is! Met by the resident zebra's (which I think are trained/corralled to come by when people check in). But nevertheless this was such a beautiful sight and one which we saw often during our stay. The room was nicely decorated and had mosquito nets all around the bed. Dinner was served in the open sided dining area complete with bush babies frolicking overhead in the rafters. The meal was a set menu but we found it very delicious and nicely served (salad was self service). The grounds are well kept and we saw various wildlife both in the morning and the evenings. We were the only ones to use the pool during our stay and found it clean and refreshing. All the staff were friendly and helpful and are an asset to the lodge. A perfect location for the Blyde River Dam boat ride being only 15 minutes away. Wish we had more time to stay longer.…

Being in this area is quite nice including the nature and animals we could see. We were there with the whole family (8 people) and had a very nice dinner and some interesting walks in the nature, where we could see lots of animals (Kudus, Zebra tracks, etc.)

We really enjoyed our stay at Blyde River Canyon cottages. The cottages are very pretty, comfortable and we loved the Braai area and rock pool. The kitchen facilities are a little basic, but perfectly adequate, and our welcome was lovely. The zebra on the lawn were a definite bonus!

Very ice lodging and the pictures are as it appears. We ate breakfast and dinner at the lodge both of the nights were there and the food was really good. As an American we found the food to be inexpensive and much better than we find at home. Just a lovely country.
