Outstanding service. One of the best places I've been in a long time, felt rested and couldn't ask for better.

Ideal break from the crazy noise without people near you. Accommodation was lovely with everything you could need available. Calmer and quieter you will look far to find!

Very peaceful and beautiful. Restaurant should definitely get better coffee with breakfast. Nice stay with nice beds. Didn't enjoy the bat that was inside the house and made noise in the evening. Otherwise, had a great time and rested.

I will try anything once. The stay was okay; it was cold. We ran the one AC 24 hours a day on 30 degrees C, which made the kitchen, where the AC is located, okay, but the rooms were freezing. I enquired beforehand if there were heaters and was assured the AC would be perfect to heat the whole unit. The staff were top-notch. We got there on the Friday at 6 pm, and Patric was very helpful and allowed us to order food from the restaurant, seeing as this is located 30 km out of Potch, and the road between Potch and the lodge should not be attempted without 100% vision. The potholes will destroy all your tyres, or you will have to drive 20 km/h and take an hour and a half one way to do the 30 km stretch. With that said, we ordered chicken schnitzels and pizzas. The chicken was more like dried-out chicken biltong; no one should ever have to endure that. The pizzas tasted like they were store-bought and frozen, so if you like that, it's up to you. The next day we ordered two breakfasts, and they were okay. Then we did not order any more food from the restaurant, and I would give that portion a 1 star if that is possible. We made our own food after going into Potch and buying stuff to prepare; that road alone will definitely cause me to never go there again. The TV has OpenView, which is not what one would expect for the price of the unit. The staff, as I said, were very exceptional, and they even set up targets for us to shoot with our own pellet, which the kids enjoyed and will probably remember the most of the whole weekend. One also has to note that the last 1.5 km is a dirt road, which I actually prefer over the tar road with all the potholes.
