Rockwood Earth Lodge

The cave like experience how it felt like we were in an actual cave.

Hitting my head on the roof constantly due to my height but it was still an amazing experience.

Disappointed, carried swimgear but pool was unswimmable,it was green and unmaintained. Kitchen sink had standing dirty water from day of arrival until departure. It never drained out so we had to buy disposable plates and cups to use. We were also not informed about invading monkeys and baboons in the area, they got into the kitchen and stole our food! However will go back as it was a humbling and relaxing experience. Just needs maintenance.

Great location in a safe estate with privacy between the properties. Lots of natural bush with some wildlife eg buck, squirrels. Great position in the valley, easy access to main road. Amazing rock pool.

We expected rustic, so not disappointed, but a few mats (next to bed, at basin, in lounge) would be good on the cold cement floors. A wifi booster could help for better signal. Gas cooker would be useful for when there is no power.

Beautiful home filled with character. Great location near good hiking. Very private.

The location was fantastic. Very comfortable rooms.

The advert is slightly misleading: the pool is not private, and is shared with the "man-cave" which I presumed due to the wording of the advert (and because 50% of the pictures on the ad are of the man-cave/fire-pit and pool seating which are all part of that rental and cannot be used if you rent out the main house) was part of the rental but is actually rented out separately which means that you share the pool area which is DIRECTLY below their rental, and where they sit/braai/relax.

The location is amazing, beautiful natural, gardens full of incredible bird life and visits from monkeys. At the foot of the majestic drakensberg. The swimming pool - a huge man-made rock pool is a feature and a great pleasure to swim in. Lots of outside areas, tables and chairs to sit at. And Weber to bbq on. Lots to do in close proximity. Wonderful hosts - Theresa and Wayne.

The “rock” where we stayed needs a little TLC it’s seen better days. The toilet was not functioning properly. It was raining the whole time we were there and there is no way to eat inside except standing up at the counter. We suggest 2 bar stools. Quite a few leaks from the rain including one over the bed from the air vent. But these did not deduct from the gorgeous environment and lovely hosts. We’ll be back.

The private space.

We loved every moment. The house is beautiful and so well equipped - everything we needed was provided. The rock pool was amazing and the views were breathtaking. Highly, highly recommend
