The mountain view
Jaco-Louis Arlow - Tuesday, 24 December 2019
Loved the style of the accommodation but maintenance need to be done and cleaning services is lacking
The view !!!!
Ronelle Ronelle - Thursday, 14 March 2019
I loved the outside deck with the small round table and chairs
Could use some renovation
Stephan Doens - Saturday, 27 October 2018
The sewer from the kitchen was broken and bathroom tub looked terrible. Benches on the porch had no comfort whatsoever. We onlusten stayed for one night and didn’t do any activities though. View from our chalet was also dissapointing.
Was a lovely sleepover

Rock climbing
Pieter Swanepoel - Wednesday, 04 April 2018
The wildlife surrounding the unit was lovely. The cleanliness of the unit was a concern.
Tranquility
Eleanor van der Westhuizen - Thursday, 04 January 2018
Well equipped and perfect location - no one near this specific cabin, only nature. The perfect spot to relax.
The View

Platberg naweek
Charlie Rude - Monday, 23 October 2017
Die braai kort baie aandag en daar kort 'n afdak vir 'n mens sy voertuig en waar die kar afdak was was 'n klomp geroeste spykers
Update website's
Shannon Van Dyk - Monday, 11 September 2017
The eco cabin was nice but what the other facilities advertised on the website need to be taken off because they do not exist anymore .... website has false info..
The natural way of living
isabel Cazes - Monday, 13 March 2017
. We could choose owr own chalet . We received a fresh home made bread from Amanda first evening. . There is a special contact with nature, all humans and animals are so relaxed and happy! . We could stay an extra night, FREE! That means so much for pensioners!
Stayed at Lekwe
Jacques du Preez, South Africa - Friday, 24 February 2017
I am not negative about the place, but I need to mention a few things that was wrong in my opinion. Firstly some lights didn't work, the handles to open the bathroom windows are non existent. The barbecue grid wasn't cleaned and unfortunately I had nothing to clean it with. The wooden bench on the one side had wooden planks missing on the bench. I have been coming to this place for several years now and I can see the place is taking a backward step every time I visit. It is really a shame as it is such a nice environment to go to. Unfortunately I had my last stay here, very sad.
Bad experience

Exceptionally bad stay.

We had the most wonderful stay at Mount Everest. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome. The log cabin has everything you need and the views are breathtaking! We will definitely return!
Nature lover's dream

Zonke Nkosi, South Africa - Monday, 29 June 2015

Mount Everest Game Farm
Merle Strachan, South Africa - Saturday, 30 May 2015

Great place & helpful people. A few things however need improvement:-

  • Maintenance-in particular staff should test all items in the chalets before guests arrive e.g. hot water tap falling off in the sink, hot water not available .Can opener not working, some globes missing etc.
  • Guests can, while riding or walking, come across hunters & there are no warning signs. Guests should at the very least be told in advance that it is a hunting farm as well. Safari Now should test facilities on their Website from time to time.
A real gem one night in
Wendy Mc Donald, South Africa - Tuesday, 07 April 2015
We stayed in the secluded Tarentaal log cabin which was fantastic. The photos on the website do not do this place justice. There is notable attention to detail in the amenities present in the room and a sense of peace and tranquility on the farm. We will definitely come back for a longer stay.
Peace at Last
Stefan Cloete, South Africa - Wednesday, 11 February 2015

After touring with 2 water polo teams for 5 days - the absolute peace and quiet was wonderful! The chalets were well equipped and clean. Thank you so much for a much needed break after our busy week!

Ronell Smedley, South Africa - Thursday, 18 December 2014
It is an absolutely fabulous accommodation. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. And their rates are very reasonable.
Good
Michell Coetzee, South Africa - Sunday, 17 August 2014
We enjoyed our night there, it was the second time we visited them and we could see there were improvements done. Only problem was the fridge did not work, and it is difficult with small children that have to sleep in the loft (it is very difficult to get up those stairs and there is no burglar proof in front of the windows in the loft which makes it very dangerous with small children).
Camping Cabin
zelda , South Africa - Monday, 27 January 2014
Cabin and bedding was clean; but Cabins needs lots of maintenance the deck is falling apart the door does not lock he bathroom window was broken. The walls and roof in bad shape but is at least rain proof. Photos on website was very misleading big disappointment and being among permanent residents (workers?) staying in the other Cabins does not give you the “glorified camping” experience as mentioned on the web site. The communal kitchen The farm and the view are awesome. Will go hiking and climbing but not so sure if we will stay there again unless is has been fully upgraded.
Relaxing weekend
kugan pillay, South Africa - Monday, 09 December 2013
Very nice, rustic, quite tranquil, lovely game drive a good variety of game.
Must visit regularly
Catrien vd Westhuizen, South Africa - Monday, 15 April 2013
We enjoyed our stay a lot. It is just the place to go to when you need a brake.
Great location, somewhat shabby accommodation
Olga Vos, Netherlands - Friday, 26 October 2012
Wonderful location, great views, very quiet. The house looked good, two rooms were very nice with good beds and bathroom, two rooms were shabby, one with crummy beds and the shared bathroom was, well, not good. Kitchen equipment was plentiful, fridge big and clean but the stove was dirty and greasy. The boiler exploded, but the problem was solved the same evening so we had plenty of hot water. Great value for little money all in all.
Photos on website misleading
Rene De Villiers, South Africa - Monday, 13 August 2012
We were disappointed - we expected a log cabin "amongst the hill tops" and "very private" according to the website. There is no way to figure out from the website that the four sleeper is actually a brick rondawel in the backyard of the permanent inhabitants amongst building rubble (I can forward pictures to you of the four sleeper and its views if you let me know to which address to send it). The carpet in the four sleeper is very dirty. We are grateful the bedding was clean and warm, the bathroom was clean and we had hot water, thank you.
Wonderful staff!
Santhuri Moodley, South Africa - Monday, 13 August 2012
We had a great stay. The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful ensuring that we have a comfortable stay. The lodge is nice but has a lot more potential and I'm sure if it is looked after better and upgraded, it will be a very nice holiday destination as the location is great. The Ouhout Lesuire Lounge mentioned on the website is non existent, there is however a TV in the reception area with DSTV. Overall, for the price that we paid it was great! Thanks George for everything you did for us!
Winter holiday
Petro Swanepoel, South Africa - Thursday, 19 July 2012
It was winter and very cold. Chalet very cozy. Nice place to stay. Kids loved all the animals. If you love nature, then Mount Everest would give you a piece of peace in nature.

Serene and tranquil. For individuals wanting to get away from it all this is the ideal location.
Very good
emmanuel chaponniere, Mozambique - Monday, 07 May 2012
A magnificent view, very comfortable chalet, available people, pleasant staff and service! All in all a very good stay and a recommended location for families and nature lovers!
Arendskop
Ronel Fouche, South Africa - Tuesday, 10 April 2012
Die uitsig van die Arendskop eenheid is asemrowend. Die eenheid self is baie netjies en het al die nodige geriewe. The view from the Arendskop unit is breathtaking. The unit itself is very neat and has everything you need.
Thank you
Henry Boning, South Africa - Sunday, 08 April 2012
Relaxing weekend with family.
Restful
Cathy Polkinghorne, South Africa - Thursday, 22 March 2012
We had a wonderfully restful and comforatble stay at Mount Everest. Having two young children, we chose to stay in the 10 bed chalet at the centre of the farm, giving the little ones place to run and play, sheep and lambs to learn about and game to watch aswell. Thank you to Amanda and her husband who are friendly and helpful hosts.
Rock climbers delight
Elizabeth Mangold, South Africa - Monday, 05 March 2012
Very enjoyable stay and very friendsly hosts! The setting was relaxed, beautiful and the accommodation very nice. We enjoyed a lovely evening fire whilst looking up the slope of the mountain with the farm lands behind us. The self catering facilities were above standard. This is definitely a place for rock climbers and for those wanting a little peace and quiet in a rustic farm setting. Will definitely be going back again soon.
Excellent
Ganasen Perumaul, South Africa - Monday, 05 March 2012

Elsie Botma, South Africa - Wednesday, 01 February 2012
Dit was baie lekker en rustig. Die mense was baie aangenaam. Dit is 'n lieflike plek om te ontspan. Ek sal dit aanbeveel vir enige natuur liefheber. It was very nice and peaceful. The staff were very pleasant. It is a lovely place to relax. I will recommend it for any nature lover.
Nice
Willem van der Merwe, South Africa - Tuesday, 03 January 2012
Nice halfway stop when travelling!
Lots of potential
Debrah Thomas, South Africa - Monday, 12 December 2011
We had a good stay but were disappointed that there was not a games room, DStv, gym, etc, as mentioned on the web page. It appears that this establishment is under new management and are busy doing renovations. We did see alot of game and the scenery is beautiful. We look forward to comming back once the renovations are complete.
