Duiwekloof Lodge

We enjoyed the area and the facilities very much, they are first class and worth a return visit. However there are some points which you may want to consider. 1. On the first night there was no hot water in the showers. Not good with four small children and us on a cold winters night. They were apparantly working on the pipes. 2. We came here to get peace and quiet. But there was a generator running for most of the time and a bulldozer some of the time. Really destroyed the tranquility we were looking for. The staff did turn the generator off after we complained but the next day it was running again, even after 18h00. I sugest you do not take bookings if you are doing building renovations. The noise was not nice at all. 3. In winter I suggest you have drop down blinds in the lapa area to keep out the very cold evening wind from the north. It really does swirl around this (very nice) area making it very unpleasent. 4. The ropes on the walk to the west have got very hard in the sun and wind and the fibres prick your hands and even embed in your skin, like prickly pears! Suggest you change them. I hope you find these points useful. Apart from this we enjoyed our time there but maybe better in the summer. Our compliments to the staff - they were very cheerful and helpful.

Baie dankie vir een van die wonderlikste naweke. Ek en my vrou het elke oomblik daarvan geniet. Duiwekloof sien ons beslis weer.

The cottage was very small and attached to the lodge - we would have preferred a cottage. But the staff were friendly, the cottage was clean and the water hot. It was quite far off the road so don't attempt it in the dark!

This is a beautiful place and the quiet and peaceful surrounds really touch the soul.

Great venue.
