In 2014 the EarthRise Mountain Lodge was redefined as an eco-lodge & convening space to reimage the country of our dreams. It is a social enterprise & it’s profits will go back into building a self sustainable community which is able to grow it’s own food & support the establishment of village enterprises in Naledi as well as Franshoek Villages. Today Eagle Valley is host to the Lodge, a large conference & wedding venue, the Naledi Art & Community Centre, a wood mill, a brick making plant & honey farm. The Naledi Farmers Coop is cultivating 5 hectares of produce & the village has built it’s own school as well as creche. The lodge is also currently running an eco worm farm, collecting worm tea & vermicasting both for use by the village as well as an income. The lodge is currently establishing a vegetable garden , plant nursery & indigenous medicinal garden. Inside the beautiful stone lodge you can collect your thoughts at the roaring fire place or enjoy a delicious meal.

but this is where all positives end. We stayed in the tree house (the self catering for 8 people). The weeds in the paving along with the dripping pipes and uncut edges where just the start of seriously dodgy accommodation ... the list is to long to mention! The electrics were not to code, the general finishers looked home / farm done, the kitchen was a health hazard and not stocked with the equipment you would expect, there is no lounge and the dinning table seats 6 ....

We went for the Cherry Festival and enjoyed ourselves very much. The area is beautiful and the lodge has magnificent views. The sand road to the lodge is very rocky, so preferably drive with a 4-wheel drive vehicle.

We had a wonderful stay with lovely people. Earthrise is the perfect place to get away from the busy life and pace the city brings. Quiet and peaceful. Experiencing nature with its magnificent mountain views.

The only problem we had was that the microwave were not clean. The supper we had was very nice but there was not enough food. Just there is not a persone at reception it is the most emportant part of your bussness you should look at that because this persone is your representative. We only slept at the loge because we were veiwing wedding venues in the area.

Spent the long weekend here with the family. Velvet comfort rooms are really great. Electric blanket and fire place in the room for those chilly days and nights. Lodge food as expected was ok. The quietness is really refreshing and the walk to the cave and waterfall was great.

We were treated with a lot of respect by the staff. We stayed in the Hive, it was clean and comfy. The road to Earthrise is a bit bumpy so I would recommend a SUV or something likewise. The scenery is absolutely beautiful.
