Tranquil with great dam and mountain views. The rooms are exactly as they are on the pictures. Make sure you pack warm clothes because the weather changes from hot to cold within hours. The road leading up to the resort is a very very long gravel road, it just needs patience. Friendly staff and a wonderful place overall!

Qwantani was an absolute delight!! The road to the resort was quite a hair raising dirt road BUT the gem at the end was totally worth it! Staff were the friendliest I’ve met and my dogs were welcomed with love and affection! The chalets were large and light and bright with every amenity and there were even emergency lights for load shedding. Can’t wait to go back!!

One of the truly awesome resorts in proximity to the Sterkfontein Dam. Great location, spectacular views, unbelievably comfortable and luxury accommodation, amazing amenities, a great restaurant, and the list goes on and on. The resort is really something to be experienced and has something for those that love luxury and the outdoorsy type. The horse riding trails gives one spectacular views of the mountains, the valleys and of course Sterkfontein dam. The staff are attentive, courteous and friendly. The only negative is the long rough access road which is only really suitable for vehicles with a high road clearance or ideally for 4x4 vehicles.

Currently staying here for a week. So nice to just get away and totally relax. Staff are friendly and very helpful. Brought our own WiFi so there if needed. The dirt road if driven on sensibly wasn’t a problem and just further broke ties with the stresses of work and the rat race. Plenty activities to keep the kids entertained and a day spa well worth visiting. Thanks for giving us a fantastic break.

A beautiful setting overlooking Sterkfonteindam. Chalets were warm and cozy, and well equipped. Definitely the best booking pots and utensils that we have ever had at other resorts. Beds super comfortable. And a lovely fireplace in the lounge. There was no need for an air conditioner as it warmed up the whole until. Will definitely have a return visit.

Nestled amongst the mountains and Sterkfontein Dam, this resort has a very unique location. But be warned that there is a good amount of Gravel to get through to this resort. The gravel is driveable but you would need to drive a good 40km/h or less in some places. Once there, there is just a relaxing environment. The rooms are clean, neat and very cosy. With a jetmaster you can relax with the log fire burning away ! The managers makes you feel very welcomed and caters for your every request or at least tries to see what can be done. The pizzas at the restaurant are really really delicious! The reason for the 3 star, is that the gravel makes it extremely unpleasant to get to the resort and by the time you get there, one is absolutely tired!

Dear DragonZordTravelling We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience post your recent stay at Qwantani and are delighted to hear that you thoroughly enjoyed your stay with us. Your comments regarding the road are certainly valid with the recent rains certainly not being kind under the circumstances, although rain is always welcome. It has indeed been very difficult to near impossible for us to work on the road during the season where typically would have already attended to this already. I however can assure you that we are about to start work on the road, good news for future visitors and yourself when you return. All in all we know that you really wanted to give us those 5 stars as you have been so complimentary and generous wit you kind words, which we truly do appreciate. However we'll happily accept the three as we totally understand. Thank you again so much and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Kind regards Craig Hill General Manager Qwantani Berg & Bush Resort

Oh my goodness... what a special weekend. The area is absolutely beautiful, staff is friendly and helpful. The unit are perfect with a little extra. Clean, neat and tidy. The peace and quiet was just what we need. We will be back for a much longer stay. Grandma and Grandpa loved it and were able to venture out for a slow walk with a little help as the terrain are not even but doable. Yes the gravel road is a tad rough but a slow drive is so worth it... the scenery just takes your breath away. One of the best weekend getaways we've had in a looong time.

We arrived at Quantani on the coldest day in August 2021. We so looked forward to having the fireplace working. We soon realised that it was not functional. Whilst I understand that it is COVID it will be great that customer service is top of mind. Check that everything works and is available as you say it would. A lovely destination with a beautiful scenery. Please ensure that the service levels are improved.
