Very friendly and helpful owner-family, stunning view, nice room and surroundings good for hiking. Delicious dinner and breakfast with homemade jam. We would like to come again! Don't miss the nearby waterfall. Excellent stopover between Johannesburg and Kruger Park.

We received warm and friendly hospitality from our host and not to forget Charlie, Mika and Snowy! The views from the deck are awesome and we thoroughly enjoyed watching the prolific bird life. A lovely stopover. We will be back.

Unbelievable that this homely lodge with spectacular views, wonderful hosts and good old fashioned home cooked meals is tucked away just outside this little town called Waterval Boven. One cannot fault the comfortable accommodation and homely atmosphere. We will be back for more of the wonderful hospitality and good food not to mentioned the peace and tranquility of this retreat.
