We had the most amazing stay and experience with the perfect balance of luxury and nature. The forest cottage may be rustic, but it was perfect for us and catered for all our needs - just the way we enjoy our holidays. We could indeed hear the river from the cottage and the hiking trails although tough in certain spots, were amazing. The staff is very friendly and professional at all times. Thank you so much Anita and team for your hospitality. I most definitely recommend this venue for a quiet, tranquil weekend getaway.

The lodge itself is 5 star, but it is NOT close to Dullstroom at all. The road is very bad, and 1hour 15 minutes drive on mostly very bad gravel road. The food and hospitality was fantastic, but you need to prepare yourself that this is not a Dullstroom destination.
