  We were a family of 6 and stayed in Kudu (4 sleeper) and Oryx (2 sleeper). Both chalets were well equipped with quality bed linen and towels. Kudu chalet has... read more a large barbecue facility for self catering. Both lodges have amazing views of the 3 mountain ranges. We had breakfast and dinner at the lodge and both meals were mind blowing. The lodge also has a lovely pool area and a bar, with beautiful views of the mountains and the wildlife on the farm (Springboks, Kudu, Zebra, Giraffe, Swartwildebeest, Oryx) to name a few. You can also take a hike through well laid out hiking trails and view the wildlife on the farm up close. The owners also arranged a sundowner for us on top of a hill with stunning views of the 3 mountain ranges. The owners and staff were exceptional, friendly and helpful, they did not hesitate to assist with special requests and made great suggestions for nearby attractions, of which there are plenty. If relaxation is your thing, do not hesitate to stay at this lodge, you will not regret it, we had a very special time and will definitely visit again in future. More

  Stop looking further and book the Zwartberg Mountain View Lodge, it is magnificent! We stayed for two nights with our four children (9-14 yrs) and absolutely loved the lodge, the... read more view, the animals on the grounds, the pool, the braai dinners and the walking trail. Varley and Hannalize are fantastic and helpful hosts and we very much enjoyed talking to them about life in SA as well as the many great sites in the area. We could easily have stayed another night or two. A highlight on our trip. Easy accessible with any car. Hope that we will visit again one day!

  We were greeted and welcomed by the friendly owner which made for a great first impression. The accommodation, food and service were excellent. Our irregular movements were accommodated without objection,... read more even late into a Sunday evening. The owners and staff went out of their way to help with a personal matter which was highly appreciated. We are already planning our next stay next year. Top marks for a top destination!

  The setting is stunning, away from busy roads and was a truly fantastic stay. We were welcomed by Varley and Franco and made to feel at home straight away. This... read more lodge has a super relaxed atmosphere with the animals popping down to get a bite to eat right outside the lodge verandah. The food was excellent and there was nothing Franco didn't know about the animals, whose care was of the upmost importance. We're so glad Melman (the giraffe) came to see us off and I'm lucky my partner got in the car as he could quite easily have stayed. Would highly recommend the lodge for a little piece of paradise, with beautiful sunsets against the red mountains.

  My husband and I set out on a mini road trip for 10 days at the end of July beginning of August, and my husband being the planner he is,... read more opted for each destination to be booked prior to our departure. I therefore booked 5 getaways (two nights each) over our 10 day period. Zwartberg View Mountain Lodge had been recommended to us and so we included the Lodge in our itinerary. Without knowing what to expect, I had been looking forward to our stay in George the most BUT that said, Zwartberg exceeded all expectations, and was my absolute favourite stay/getaway of all. On arrival we were literally met first by the local giraffe - Melman (what a treat) - and then by the owners Varley & Hannelize. From that moment on our stay did not disappoint. The rooms are exceptionably comfortable (oh my word that bed!!!), and the surroundings are breathtaking. We set out each morning for a walk around the farm, enjoying not only the walk but also being able to see the local Lodge animals in the distance as they avoided meeting us head on. After our exercise we would head down to the main common area and deck for a delicious (late) breakfast. The rest of the day can be spent relaxing and soaking in the view or exploring the surrounding areas (the Meiringspoort is definitely worth the drive if you have never been and the small village of De Rust was a treat too). In the evening we would head down to the deck for sundowners and watch the animals come in for their dinner. We also opted for dinner in the evening and besides being absolutely delicious, the chef was also very generous with the portion sizes (so much so that we never finished a meal). If you enjoy your wines, then Varley has a serious selection of some very enjoyable cultivars. The evenings were finished off around a large fireplace enjoying the absolute peace and quiet and some more lovely red wine. If you enjoy the outdoors, wide open spaces, and good old fashioned South African hospitality then this is the place to spend a couple of days or more (we were very sad to leave after two days and could definitely done another night or so). Thank you Varley, Hannelize, and Zwartberg Mountain View Lodge for providing an unforgettable getaway.

  We had a wonderful time at this lodge. We stayed in Zebra cottage which is great when travelling with a child. The braai area was our favourite part of the... read more cottage. There is some Karoo bushes in between the cottage and the braai, so it feels like you are out in the open, but the cottage is right there.

The owners and staff was amazing. We had sundowners at the main building / bar in the evening, overlooking the beautiful Karoo hills. The view really is amazing.

The owner blows on a whistle around sunset, all the animals comes to this area then to feed. It was great for our 3 year old who enjoyed the presence of the giraffe very much.

  From the second we arrived, we were treated with superior service. They went out of the way to make our stay comfortable and even fixed a flat tire for... read more us! We’ll definitely go back! A very unique experience! More
