Wow, what an awesome experience! We just visited the lodge for a one-night breakaway, and if was worth our while! Exceptional service, room, food and hospitality. We will recommend a stay at Otterskloof to anyone! We were very lucky to be the only patrons at the lodge for the evening, thus we were spoilt rotten! Thank you for everything, in particular the fire in our own fireplace! (just one suggestion - a table of some sort in the bathroom will come in handy to put your toiletry bag or clothes on)

Papi and Jan gave us a warm welcome. The place and the grounds were wonderful and refreshing. The staff, housekeeping and kitchen, were really friendly and helpful.
