  This was the second time I have visited Zwartberg. It is the MOST wonderful getaway, and so worth the visit. The Zwartberg chalets are beautifully decorated, and wonderfully isolated. The... read more views of the Klein Karoo are absolutely unmatched. We were lucky enough to see snow on the mountains surrounding us!
The lodge area is the perfect place to enjoy a meal, have a dip in the pool, watch game or just sit by the fire with a book. The food is absolutely delicious, and I would definitely recommend having a meal or two there.
The farm is a great place to relax, and watch the game. We also walked a beautiful hiking trail on the property with beautiful views over the farm and the mountains.
The owners are wonderful, and are very accommodating to any needs we had. More

  Oudtshorn has to be the ultimate South African tourist town. Everything seems to be tourist orientated and each property we have seen looks amazing.

  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.
