    We stayed for three nights. The cottages are well appointed, rustic as the setting requires and have all you need including being serviced. Tash was wonderful, attentive and so helpful. We were also provided with a fresh loaf of bread with pate which was both thoughtful and delicious. Giants cup is a piece of heaven. The views and tranquility are priceless. The trout dam is such a beauty and on day 3 the fish were biting! A very special place. Thanks so much. We will be back!

    Beautiful location in the Drakensberg.
    Cottages well located around wild trout lake. Peaceful and serene
    Nice hikes on property or one can venture further into the Drakensberg from site.
    A photographers paradise!
    The freshly baked bread and Trout Pate delivered on the first morning was awesome.
    Will definitely return.

    A beautiful cottage in the mountains. With no network coverage was actually nice to not have the phone going all the time. A fab fireplace to keep us warm was so cosy and nicely set up for us. Views over the dam and mountain back drop just amazing. If you looking for an escape from the world this is perfect. My rating for sleep is down to im used to sleeping in blackout room the one bedroom has a path light shining into the room which kept me up. I understand the reasoning for the blinds chosen as sun rises you get such amazing views. Host is lovely, we would book again i would just bring eye mask next time :)

    Amazing lodge. Peaceful location. The perfect recharge place for any type of person. The fishing was extremely tough due to spawning but great nonetheless. Will definitely be back for some unfinished business in the fishing department. Great hospitality.

    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.
