Give Crystal Springs a miss unless you are a Soccer fan, want 24/7 headbanging music and you are deaf. No peace and quiet here. The setting is magnificent and the restaurant superb. Any grocery shops are a long drive away over potholed roads and the onsite shop is extremely sparsely stocked. Give Crystal Springs a miss unless you are a Soccer fan, want 24/7 headbanging music and you are deaf.

Thank you for an absolutely perfect holiday. It was absolutely incredible. I have always wanted to go to Crystal Springs, and they have not let us down. I will recommend Crystal Springs to all who love nature, the peace and quiet, and the perfect place to 'reset' the mind & soul.

Blocked drain for shower and sink for due of our stay. Drinking water polluted - advertised as drinkable. Unable to use veranda due to neighbouring chalet occupants chain smoking on their veranda, merely 1 meter from ours - we were caged into our chalet with sliding door closed!

The weekend away for our 18th anniversary was amazing at Crystal Springs, we enjoyed the beautiful scenery and nature. It was the perfect place to just recharge as a couple. I would definitely advise it for any couple that needs some time away.

We had a wonderful time at the resort , although it was too short to really enjoy everything because of the weather. The only thing that we can complaint about is the service at the restaurant.. this is a beautiful lodge and will definitely want to visit again in the future.

The resorts has very well maintained chalets that offer amazing views of the mountains and wild life. There are plenty activities for all, as well as both heated and non heated pools to relax at if you not up for a game drive. There is also a restaurant on site and a well stocked bar if you not in the mood to cook/braai. Definitely on our radar for a revisit soon.

Wonderful resort to allow you to breath again: Fantastic views from every Chalet, lots of opportunities to walk, hike, relax. Do NOT expect a pleasant game drive in their Nature Reserve: The roads are not maintained, even in a 4x4 I found it unacceptable and turned around.
