Gooderson Kloppenheim Country Estate ★★★★

"And unattractive entrance and lacklustre reception ‘greets’ new arrivals. The room we had was dated and not well maintained, with no air conditioning, a poor quality TV, no mini-bar, and many fittings looking the worst for wear. A somewhat uninspiring view over a muddy dam is the reward for a torturous ride over the last seven kilometres on something bearing little resemblance to a road. Our room had been meagrely serviced with bath mats and other items missing. If this hotel wants to attract guests they are going to have to up their game - there are better options in this beautiful part of the world."

Elandskloof Trout Farm ★★

"Excellent venue for trout fishing. Been there twice. This time however a cold front took fish of the bite. The chalets are excellent equipped and very cosy once the fire is burning. The dams are on your front stoep and the staff extremely friendly. Please is well kept and well looked after. Wifi and TV is not up to scratch as signal is dropped non stop and it is an effort to watch anything or to use the internet."

Walkersons Hotel & Spa ★★★★★

"Walkersons was the perfect location for our 25th wedding anniversary. From our first interaction and booking, the service was outstanding and professional. The friendly staff welcomed us when we arrived and we instantly felt at home! Our room (nr 7) overlooked a small dam and was lovely, with a magnificent view over the water. The bed was super comfortable and the room offered everything we needed, and even has an outdoor shower! The Nespresso coffee machine and rusks added a really nice touch. Candles, champagne and spoils awaited us in the room after dinner on our anniversary. Lovely paved walkways around the dams. The Spa treatment was fabulous. Chef Lunga went out of his way to assist with gluten free options, which was definitely one of the highlights. The menu offers an array of good South African meals and the food is beautifully presented."

Cinzaco Dullstroom ★★★★

"I can highly recommend this property. Friendly and accommodating staff, beautifully clean and well equipped accommodation with comfortable beds and beautiful linen. Close to centre of town with everything you need for a wonderful stay. Thank you Cinzaco ♥️"

Hoyohoyo Machadostud Lodge ★★★

Highland Rose Country House & Serenity Spa ★★★

"The rooms and environment are beautiful and clean. The environment is quiet and just what we wanted. The only thing I would say is maybe the curtains can be darker and the glass on the doors can be covered…the room is very light at night."

Dunkeld East Hotel ★★★★

"We only went for dinner so cannot comment on the accommodation The view and restaurant is beautful Very tastefully decorated. Lovely atmosphere and the staff were very attentive friendly and efficient. Strangely though there’s no wine available in the restaurant When I asked the waitress she said we could have white or red house wine but had no idea from where it came. The red house wine was good though. The menu is small but caters for everyone and the food was very good and well presented. It arrived quickly and was exactly what we ordered We had to ask for serviettes and side plates but other than that I would certainly recommend this restaurant It’s in such a beautiful setting."

Rocky Drift Private Nature Reserve ★★★

"Experienced a refreshing 2-day camping stop at Rocky Drift Private Nature Reserve. The hosts were welcoming, cooked us a lovely meal, the campsite was set right next to a lovely river, giving us a peaceful ambience with the sound of a small waterfall to keep us in deep sleep throughout the evening. The hike was well maintained, and the road to the campsite was doable in a large overlanding truck. The campsite has grassy green sites and mountain ridge views. Can recommend for a quick break from the hustle and bustle."

Fox & Squirrel ★★★★

"Stunning view of the dam and mountain here. Dorothy is also the sweetest lady. Amazing leather shop in the area and great food at Vine eatery"
