Quiet. Peaceful overnight stay. Neat unit in a quiet area; you will have to drive a dirt road, but most of the road between Dullstroom and Tonteldoos is fairly well maintained. The food at their restaurant is delicious, and definitely worth the money. Electric blankets were a welcome detail in the cold winter night.

Stil. Rustige oornag. Netjiese eenheid in 'n rustige area; jy sal 'n grondpad moet ry, maar die meeste van die pad tussen Dullstroom en Tonteldoos is redelik goed instand gehou. Die kos by hul restaurant is heerlik, en beslis die geld werd. Elektriese komberse was 'n welkome detail in die koue winternag.

Nice place. Nice quiet place. Best hamburgers. Best bar for rugby with fireplace. Neat rooms with everything you need.

Lekker plekkie. Lekker stil plekkie. Lekkerste hamburgers. Beste bar vir rugby met kaggel. Kamers netjies met alles wat mens nodig het.

Peaceful nature's hideaway! It was quite an experience. I liked the tranquillity and peacefulness, as well as the melody of nature surrounding the venue. Though it was cold, overall it was exquisite.

It was nice. Everything was nice, clean and quiet. Lovely stay. Nice quiet environment. All I missed was a table and chairs in the living area to sit and drink morning coffee and enjoy the view and silence. Restaurant area only opens at 9:00 and there is no other seating.

Dit was lekker. Als mooi skoon en rustig. Heerlik gebly. Lekker stil omgewing. Al wat ek gemis het, was 'n tafel en stoele by die verblyfarea om bv. oggendkoffie te sit en drink en die uitsig en stilte te geniet. Restaurant area maak eers 9:00 oop en daar is nie ander sitplek nie.

Bloody licks. Excellent service. The lady who received us made you feel welcome from the moment you walked in. The accommodation was neat and clean. The restaurant has the tastiest food as well as affordable. I would not suggest not driving a small car on the dirt road, the dirt road from Dullstroom to The Hungry Otter is not in good condition. A larger vehicle is definitely recommended. The road is approximately 27 km long. But don't let the road scare you, at the end of the dirt road a nice visit awaits.

Bleddie lekke. Uitstekende diens. Die dame wat ons ontvang het, het jou sommer met die intrapslag laat welkom voel. Die akkommodasie was netjies en skoon. Die restaurant het die smaaklikste kos asook bekostigbare. Ek sal nie voorstel om nie met 'n klein kar op die grondpad te ry nie, die grondpad van Dullstroom na The Hungry Otter is nie in 'n goeie toestand nie. 'n Groter voertuig word beslis aanbeveel. Die pad is ongeveer 27 km lank. Maar moenie dat die pad jou afskrik nie, aan die einde van die stofpad wag 'n lekker kuier.

It was peaceful, no problems except the road. The Hungry Otter is a very nice place to stay, but the tinderbox road is terrible, don't go there unless you're driving a 4x4.

Dit was rustig, geen probleme behalwe die pad nie. Die Hungry Otter is 'n baie lekker plek om by te bly, maar die tonteldoos pad is verskriklik erg, moenie daar gaan as jy nie 'n 4x4 ry nie.

Serene and peaceful environment. I recently stayed at Hungry Otter and truly appreciated the peace and quiet it offered. It’s a great spot to relax and unwind, with a serene atmosphere that’s perfect for a short getaway. However, there were a few aspects that could be improved. For example, key information about services like cleaning fees, horse rides and fishing facilities was not readily available and we had to ask for these details. Displaying this information upfront, along with a guide to nearby attractions, would be very helpful for guests. Additionally, I feel it’s important to mention that the gravel road leading to the property is in a poor state. This could be a challenge for some travellers and providing a heads-up about road conditions would allow visitors to plan accordingly. Lastly, while the property is enjoyable for a shorter stay, I wouldn’t recommend a longer visit, such as the 9 nights we spent there, as the accommodation may not be ideal for an extended period. With a few adjustments, Hungry Otter could offer a more seamless and enjoyable experience. Thank you for the peaceful stay and I hope these suggestions can help enhance future visits for others.
