Tranquil Beauty

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 16 Jul 2019
We had 3 amazing nights at Lakeside lodge? Which is surrounded by beautiful pine Forrest and a stone throw away from the most spectacular natural trout spawning lake with the clearest water you would ever see. Incredible views of the surrounding nature reserve and the peaceful sounds of nature/ bird life makes for the most relaxing and tranquil environment. The actual lodge is ideal and equipped with everything you need, including wood burning fireplace to keep you warm and for awesome ambiance. A big thank you to Natasha for a heart warming welcome and introduction and to Jack and Rob for being so informative and helpful. We will most definitely be back soon.

We stayed in the fisherman's cottage. Nestled between the pine trees this cottage were very cosy, clean and equipped with the necessary to enjoy your stay. The fireplace created a nice ambience to enjoy a glass of red wine. The trout dam is also beautiful although we did not fish. We stayed there for our trip to the Sani pass and this was the perfect place to stay for that reason.

What a gorgeous location. Not too far from Underberg is this fantastic farm. Unbelievable views and the setting is just the best. We stayed in the Lakeside Cottage that is nestled in the pine trees and overlooks the magnificent lake. Fishing was not the best as trout had just spawned and were hiding but definitely worth the trip!

No cellphone service, no internet, no card machine. This is off the grid, amongst the pine trees in front of the lake. The bungalows are beautifully set up with everything you need, including a full kItchen. If you enjoy nature, quiet and birds, this is the place for you!! There are very few bungalows which adds to the isolation.

Such a scenic place, the Drakensberg had snow, the wind was cool and the hiking was so scenic, waterfalls, different terrain, we trekked for almost an hour and reached the San Bushmen Rock art. We had to wait for the guide to open the gate and had a informative lecture on the cave paintings. The hike back to the Resort was another hour. Overall really great experience. Great bird life and the area is known for eland sightings.

Room tip: Views are amazing from rooms
