Guest Reviews

• MATLHOHONOLOFATSO (6/5): - location Standard breakfast
• Ronelle (8/5): We travelled for the Maluti D90 Cycle Race. Ash River Lodge provided good accomodation and was in close proximity of whe - Most Beautiful views
• OWEN (10/5): -
• Petru (10/5): -
• Thembi (9/5): Good stay - It was a pleasant stay with welcoming and great staff! I could stay there again. The room we got was very cold in late April despite there being a heater and electric blanket.
• Bernard (7/5): Bien - Une chambre un petit peu plus grande
• Estelle (9/5): - Dankie Lallies vir al die ekstra moeite. Waardeer opreg!
• Emiliya (9/5): - We really enjoyed our stay. The rooms were clean and well-maintained. The breakfast offered everything we needed and more. We stayed on the ground floor with direct access to a beautifully kept garden which was a real highlight. The views from the upper floor, especially from the balcony where breakfast is served, are serene and absolutely stunning. The friendly dogs were a lovely bonus and kept our son happily entertained. The only small thing to note is that the property is quite acoustically open, so sounds do carry more easily than expected. It didn’t take away from our overall experience but it’s something to be aware of.
• Mathye (7/5): Awesome stay - Easily accessible location. Comfortable,clean rooms and great Mountain View’s One electric blanket wasn’t working
• Thea (9/5): -
• NEIL (10/5): Very enjoyable and friendly - Did not have breakfast due to our early schedule Nothing we did not like
• Palesa (7/5): -
• Dennis (9/5): -
• MINETTE (9/5): If you are looking for a getaway with a beautiful view , cozy rooms this is the place . - The breakfast was very delicious , you had options to choose what you like and did not like, breakfast came with side fruits yogurts , juices , coffee abd tea , also got a little sweet treat . Nothing could have been better , the staff were friendly and helpful , the rooms were clean and cozy , breakfast was fabulous , I would not have changed a thing .
• Abe' (10/5): - The dirt road travelling to your facility. We travelled with motorcycles.
• Reitumetse (10/5): Comfortable and relaxed. - Staff. The stall at Ash River welcomed us so nice, as they say first impressions last. That made our stay perfect because we knew we were in good hands.
• Sandisiwe (7/5): -
• Grant (9/5): -
• Madelein (8/5): Conveniently located, comfortable, stunning view - Convenient location within walking distance of the town square. Comfortable beds with good quality bed linen and more than enough cushions. Crockery is available for any brought home meals and water always available from a water cooler. Magnificent view from the deck where breakfast is served if weather allows. Our room had a sliding door that opened onto the deck. A comfortable shared lounge is available as well as a small library. Safe parking behind an electric gate. Staff very friendly and helpful. Overall a very nice stay. We will definitely be back. Would have preferred the cupboard not to be open or not be visible from the deck. A suggestion would also be to have one extra shelf in the bathroom. These did not make our stay any less pleasurable.
• Natascha (10/5): -
• Annette (2/5): Besuch sehr enttäuschend - Bei Ankunft war trotz check in time niemand da oder telefonisch erreichbar. Die Eigentümerin hat sich um nichts gekümmert. Im Zimmer war der WC Deckel so lose, dass er ständig in den Rücken fiel. Der Föhn, den ich auf Nachfrage bekam, hatte einen europ. Stecker. Adapter Fehlanzeige. Die Frühstück cerealien waren alt. Am zweiten Tag mussten wir allem hinterherlaufen. Wasser für Tee wurde erst auf Nachfrage lieblos im Wasserkocher hingestellt. Die Eier am 2. Tag waren alt und schmeckten muffig. Wir konnten sie nicht essen. Insgesamt hatte man das Gefühl zu stören statt willkommen zu sein. Nie mehr wieder.
• Klaus (10/5): -
• Loredana (8/5): -
• Suliaman lbn (7/5): LOVE IT AND NICE EXPERIENCE. - THE QUIETNESS OF THE AREA AND SECURITY OF THE PLACE.
• Jacobus (6/5): decent - Breakfast was very nice . The venue / location is beutyfull and comfortable my noisy neighbor's , and their drinking habits
• Trevor (8/5): Ok for a quick stopover - Breakfast
• Delisile (1/5): I'm not happy with my stay at ash river lodge I booked 2 single bed they give us double bed - Breakfast was not amazing only one slice of toast and teaspoon of mushroom accomodation have cockroaches and dirty linen
• Juanita (8/5): Comfortable - As it is winter the electric blankets were very comfortable The extractor fans in the bathroom felt as if they are blowing cold air, quite uncomfortable in the cold. A small heater in the room would be a bonus
• Motlalepule (6/5): - . the location is peacefull I spoke to the owner of the place, she was not a friendly person to interact with. Firstly there was confusion about the initial booking. What i had booked for versus what i got. She claimed what i got is what i paid for as all the rooms are the same. I paid for a delux room and a standard room which is different prices but i received two of the same rooms. So for me that is false advertising to say the least. Other than that the staff was friendly but you could tell they are limited in terms of what they are allowed to say or confirm. Everything i needed clarity on , the response i got was speak to the owner or call the owner.
• Antoinette (9/5): This was very pleasant and we did book again for December. Will definitely recommend to friends. - Breakfast was really good and location were close to every thing. Nothing all was perfect.
• Johannes (9/5): -
• Zanele (10/5): Amazing 🙌🏼 - George and his wife were amazing hosts. Nothing
• Frik (8/5): - Very nice outlay of rooms, garden beautiful and good breakfast. Beautiful views of mountains. Location not too good, lot of noise from sport stadium / township nearby.
• Kaya (7/5): Good -
• Selebalo (7/5): - There was a weird smell from the bathroom and the WiFi didn’t connect when we were in the room
• Musa (7/5): - The beds were clean Was at the venue for 5 days, breakfast menu doesn't change and not accommodating for various dietary needs. The venue is listed as no pets allowed but there are 3 dogs in the venue that run around which is not nice for people with phobia. Sometimes they are lingering under tables during breakfast
• H. (9/5): -
• Sivi (10/5): Beautiful Ash River Lodge - The view was breathtaking. The accommodation was excellent. The breakfast was good. The staff were friendly. There could be a different breakfast menu for different days.
• Nono (9/5): -
• JACQUELINE (8/5): -
• Nigel (7/5): Very serviceable for a one night sleep. - Breakfast was excellent. Lallies and mother in law and staff were excellent. The pillows were of poor quality The room was smaller than anticipated. No room for a desk chair.
• Nina (8/5): wonderful and gracious hosts - The rooms were very clean as well as the bathrooms. I am impressed with the neat gardens and the views. Just the roads to the place were a little bumpy but I know the lodge cannot do anything about that
• Andries (6/5): - No interaction with theowner. The place is dead. You are just a number.
• ER (5/5): -
• Lucille (10/5): Home away from home - The lovely tastefully decorated and comfortable accomodation. Stunning views. Lovely breakfast. Friendly owners. Can't fault a thing. Highly recommended. Ps. A low vehicle may struggle on the gravel road to the lodge. A short distance but could be challenging. We liked everything.
• Guttenbrunner (8/5): -

• Elana (10/5): -
• Fourie (9/5): -
• Robert (7/5): - Good view from the deck. Friendly helpful staff and good location Dog poop on the lawn, mattress felt old and lacked support. Venue pu is the breakfast as being a great breakfast... not the case. Onions and mushrooms were bland. Asked for soft eggs, got hard fried... twice.

• John (9/5): - The rooms are a good size and have everything you need. They provide a great breakfast. The view of the mountains are spectacular. Very close to the town centre so you can walk.
• Nadeen (8/5): Comfortable stay - Beautiful views Cute doggies Comfortable rooms Rooms aren’t soundproof so if there are other noisy guests, it can be a disturbance.
• Nadeen (8/5): Comfortable stay - Beautiful views Cute doggies Comfortable rooms Google maps can take you thru the township and a gravel road that isn’t in the best condition especially after it rains. Rather drive to property thru the main square.
• Dineo (9/5): Hospitality was good - Breakfast was good and on time Keep up the good work.
• Gloria (8/5): Wonderful - Our stay at the guesthouse was wonderful and fully met the expectations of our entire group. The 200m gravel road to the guesthouse need to be maintained,
• Mamiky (8/5): Great breakfast - i booked for some coworkers. they enjoyed the property and couldnt stop talking about the breakfast
• Unathi (6/5): - The view There was no variety of food for breakfast. We were given a downstairs rooms,where we were supposed to go up and down so many stairs to the dinning hall not considered about our knee or back pain problems.
• Mathapelo (10/5): -
• Andre (8/5): -
• Jacob (4/5): Not value for money - Nothing really Food was bland
• Toireasa (9/5): Delightful accommodation with a superb view - A beautiful property. Lovely gardens, securely fenced and gated. Very clean and well decorated throughout. The room was perfect with a welcome drink and chocolate. Breakfast was tasty and sitting on the balcony to look at the view of the Golden Gate National Park made it that more special. Restaurants for dinner were close by. Shower water pressure was intermittent and it took a while to work out the TV remotes as there was no instructions on how to use them.
• Smulders (10/5): -
• Sello Jan (10/5): -
• Nthabiseng (7/5): Not bad - The beds was comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. We booked for 2nights but we were only provided with water for one night and they only provide you with limited coffee ingredients, and my husband and I are tea drinker. The other thing is the owner also brings dogs to the lodge and not all people are pet friendly.

• Jaco&Marika (9/5): Ash River Lodge, real comfort. - Full and tasteful breakfast with eggs, bacon, sausage, cheese and toast. Eggs done perfectly to request. Location: Beautiful, lush garden, exceptional mountain views and lovely veranda to relax. When chilly outdoors, the lounge was a comfy place to relax. Also walking distance from central Clarens.
• Anne (8/5): Was comfortable and accessible for our stop over - The view from the breakfast terrace was stunning. Close proximity to shops and restaurants. Room was a bit small, needs new towels
• Ansumarie (7/5): - Very neat and tidy. Lovely place. Room was a bit small and the neighbors smoked infront of our bathroom.

• Nicoline (9/5): -
• Peter (8/5): I enjoyed staying there, the place is great bt pls keep the dogs away frm the guests - This place is quite, beautiful and relaxing.

• Mofokeng (8/5): Short getaway - The tranquility as well as the location. The dogs on the property were adorable. Very friendly staff who directed us to places we wanted to go see. Very accommodating when we arrived late in the evening. Had alittle trouble with my front door and room TV didn't have a remote. Only had the decoder remote.
• Jansen (10/5): Ash River Lodge - a lovely venue in Clarens - Lallies and the staff were all friendly and approachable. They went to great lengths to provide a comfortable experience. The breakfasts provided were delicious and a really great way to start each day. The lodge is a beautiful place with a secure fenced garden providing safe parking. We also enjoyed the spectacular views of the mountains from the patio. All around a great place to relax and excellent value for money. There was nothing not to like about the lodge.
• SHALAMAR (7/5): - Breakfast was good.
