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.

Having a drink on the veranda or at the swimming pool whilst... read more watching the wild animals is quite an experience. The quiet & peace together with the fresh air is food for the soul.

  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.

  On a roadtrip with my son, and on our way back from Addo, we decided to stay over around Oudtshoorn, ending up with the magnificent views and hospitality of the... read more Varley Family and their no nonsense approach to comfort and excellence.
Viewing the animals from the evening dinner deck brought a new perspective to the different personalities of animals, from the skittish kudu to the regal Giraffe and the intrusive little troublemaking Guinea Fowl.
We had a good rest, loads of hot water, clean and comfortable lodging and spectacular morning and evening views. The type of "Visiting friends/family" holiday experience with the exuberant hospitality we have known as kids.
Will definitely return to the Varley family and follow their progress and growth with a keen eye. Special place. Special people.
