Guest Reviews

• A.S (10/5): -
• Debbie (10/5): Will definitely be back! - Absolutely beautiful Fabulous views
• Jagjiwan (10/5): Most relaxing holiday - The beautiful scenery and the place was so tidy and clean N/A
• Viljoen (7/5): Thanks, it was awesome. - Very friendly and well-trained staff. Perfect location, stunning views. Hopefully we can afford to stay there again. The place needs proper maintenance to be done, to keep it as beautiful as always.
• Gerhard (10/5): -
• Janine (10/5): -
• Shane (10/5): A definite winner - We didn't want to leave. Just so beautiful and relaxing to sit and look over the dam at the mountains. From check in to check out, it was the best. We were shown to our cottage and taken through all the ins & outs. Our cottage was spacious, well laid out with all the amenities you need. Large bathroom and a good sized shower. We didn't use the jacuzzi, but was there already warm when we arrived. We ordered dinner, which as excellent. We didn't do it justice as it was plentiful. Breakfast was also flavoursome with a view. The location is very good for outings / trips up Sani pass. Nothing to add
• Bongani (9/5): Tranquil and beautiful stay - Extremely lovely and restful space .. relaxing with the landscapes and animals on the property None much to except the team can look at replacing some of the kitchenware particularly the knifes for self catering purposes
• Stephen (8/5): - EXTREMELY FIRM BED
• Sashen (10/5): Amazing location. The views are absolutely breathtaking. If you want to be in touch with nature, this is the spot. - Beautiful views of the lakes and mountains. Only downside is WiFi signal is super shaky. But who needs internet when you have breathtaking scenery.
• Vijay (10/5): -
• Suresh Mohanlal (8/5): Quiet pleasant and beautiful - Very scenic, beautiful lake Nothing
• Petra (10/5): Besser geht's nicht - Die Location ist einfach nur ein Traum
• Pilasande (7/5): -
• Jeremy (10/5): - The location and friendliness of managers and staff. They couldn't do enough for us Nothing really
• Ya Hui Una (10/5): -
• Gemma (10/5): - Amazing views! Wonderful staff, beautiful accommodation.
• Zingisa (9/5): I had a wonderful time. I am coming back again definitely. - I loved everything about my stay, the location, staff, service and everything that I needed for this type of getaway was provided for. Thank you for your attention to detail. Breakfast as well. Dinner was a bit oily to my personal liking. Apart from that, I cant think of anything else. Really there is nothing else :)
• Sarah (10/5): Spectacular. - Stunning location, the views of the mountains and lake were spectacular. Sitting on the balcony watching the birds and zebras was wonderful. Nothing
• Anna (9/5): -
• Shanonne (10/5): Exceptional accomodation, views, staff and food! - Our stay at Sani Pass Nature Lodges was absolutely exceptional. The accommodation was beautiful, comfortable, and offered breathtaking views over the lake. Waking up to such stunning scenery was truly unforgettable. We loved seeing the zebras and buck roaming around—it made the experience feel so special and close to nature. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help, making us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived. The food was outstanding, with delicious home-cooked meals that were clearly prepared with care and love. Everything was perfect, and we truly wanted for nothing during our stay. We would highly recommend Sani Pass Nature Lodges to anyone looking for a peaceful, scenic, and memorable getaway. We can’t wait to return! Nothing
• Catherine (10/5): Tranquil cottages surrounded by amazing views - perfect nature break in the Sani Pass area - The cottages have beautiful decks looking out on the tranquil lake and surrounded by mountains. Absolutely stunning location. Very close to Sani Pass. Great place to bird watch. Nothing
• denise ingrid (10/5): Loved the ambience, the scenic setting and beautiful views - Magnificent scenery, pristine grounds, lovely accommodation Nothing!
• Martin (9/5): -
• Samantha (9/5): - The view from the Lodge was amazing and the staff were helpful. It was great seeing the zebras wandering around. Also the bed was very comfy. The only real downside is that the access road is in very bad condition - even with an SUV it was bumpy, so it's probably not a good idea without an SUV/4X4.
• Robyn (10/5): Brilliant - Views / zebra / facilities / house The flies
• Andreas (10/5): -
• Sandra (10/5): - A beautiful accommodation in a stunning location. The peace and quiet were wonderful. Zebras were sometimes right in front of our house. Breakfast was good, and the hot dishes were freshly prepared. Dinner was delivered directly to our cottage, where we could eat in a relaxed atmosphere overlooking the lake. I highly recommend this accommodation.
• duan (10/5): -
• Sihle (8/5): -
• Lynn (9/5): -
• Michelle Mary (10/5): -
• Tim (10/5): - Stunning location. We stayed in a one bedroom apartment with its own supply of wood for the fire. We self-catered for dinner and enjoyed a very cosy evening in a beautiful setting. The welcome tipple was a nice touch. The breakfast was just what we needed before we headed up Sani Pass and across Lesotho. Was an excellent stay.
• Marais (9/5): Will be back again - Nature and tranquilty
• Narisha (7/5): Rated a 7 because of the exceptional location. - The views were beautiful The chalet was average and the bathroom had a damp smell.
• valeria (8/5): - bellissima struttura e panorami. natura e animali nella tenuta. bella casa
• Kyle (8/5): -
• Anele (4/5): -
• Albert (10/5): A must stay with views out of this world. - Beautiful and serene nature at its best.
• RAVIKUMAR (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay at this chalet. The view from the room was absolutely amazing, with the lake right next to us and beautiful mountains all around. Waking up to such peaceful scenery was unforgettable. The chalet was cozy, clean, and perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quiet getaway with stunning views. The road leading to the property is quite narrow and bumpy, which can make the drive a bit challenging, especially for first-time visitors or in bad weather. It’s manageable, but something to be aware of before arriving.
• Yves (10/5): - Situation exceptionnelle, personnel parfait, manager à l’écoute, les repas commandés copieux et typiques. Rien !
• Morne (10/5): WE love it. - The location was great and the staff where great. Nonthing
• Lukas (10/5): -
• Bronwen (9/5): -
• siphelele (10/5): Exceptionally beautiful - The scenery was to die for, the zebras, the fire place (they even help you if you don't know how to start the fire. Everything was perfect 👌 Nothing
• Sanele (9/5): -
• Nothemba (10/5): - The overall hospitality None
• inga (7/5): Für Selbstversorger in traumhafter Umgebung! - Absolute Ruhe und Einsamkeit!Grandioser Blick! Die Küche ist voll ausgestattet. Das sehr einfache Abendessen wurde auf Bestellung ins Zimmer geliefert.Das Preis/Leistungs Verhältnis stimmt nicht. Eine andere Möglichkeit zum Essen gab in der Nähe nicht. Es ist anzuraten selber in der Küche fürs Abendessen zu sorgen.
• Claes (9/5): Special place - Amazing location - chalets overlooking the lake and the mountains, surrounded by wildlife. Comfy beds, fireplace, deck, ... Only booked 1 night and we all wanted to stay longer. Special place, we will be back!
• Claude (10/5): - Le paradis sur terre c était ici Un Super personnel
• Alexander (10/5): Paradise in the middle of South Africa - It’s just breathtaking. We were completely positive surprised! By the time you step a foot on the lodge you will never want to leave this place again 😍 wild animals, beautiful lakes and stunning accommodations. And the breakfast & coffee in the sun right at the lake will let you forget about anything else! Highly recommended :) Nothing to complain about at all!

• Justin (8/5): -
• Gert Strydom (10/5): - Excellent location, beautiful place. To be in the middle of nature and the peace and quiet is priceless. Exceptional treatment by the staff and the reception on arrival was great.
• Philile (10/5): Beautiful - The view That we didn’t have an iron
• S F PAULA (5/5): Mooie locatie, outdated hutje - Deliggi h aan het water Het was smerig en vreselojk outdated ingericht
• Jana (8/5): - Die Lage war traumhaft und ruhig, wirklich sehr sehr schön. Direkt an der Sani Pass Straße - perfekte Ausgangslage für einen Trip über den Pass. Super nettes Personal und gutes Frühstück im Bootshaus am Wasser. Leider schon ein bisschen in die Jahre gekommen und leider nicht so sauber wie wir uns es gewünscht hätten. Wir hatten sehr viele kleine Fliegen im Zimmer.
• amit (9/5): היה מקסים - מקום מהמם שקט על האגם עם הרבה חיות מסביב ממש חוויה של טבע עם חלונות זכוכית גדולים ויפים! החדר יותר יפה מאיך שהוא נראה בתמונות וניל היה ממש נחמד ועוזר ארוחת הערב הייתה יקרה ויחסית קטנה למחיר והביאו לנו אותה לחדר בשעה נורא מוקדמת כך שהיא נראתה כבר פחות טוב הקינוח היה יבש והמרק הצטמצם בגלל שנשאר בחימום . הדרך לשם כמו שכתוב באמת קצת קשה וגם עבור הפרייבט שלנו שהיה יחסית גבוה היינו צריכים להיזהר ולסוע לאט
• Imogene (10/5): Enjoyable stay - Staff are very hospitable, especially Silindile, Nonto, and Sabelo. Lakeside view is exceptional. The warm jacuzzi after my first mountain hike was a treat! There was nothing to dislike.
• Wolfgang (10/5): Phantastisch Lage an einem kleinen See in den Drakensberge. Sehr luxuriöse großzügige Ausstattung. Phantastisch Anlage. -
• Thokozani (10/5): Perfect. Top tier - Everything. The only thing that scared us was the tiny road to the lodge. However we managed. The breakfast was not that top tier. It is edible but there was too much oil on everything. We only had breakfast once. We did not mind because we had a great time.
• natasha (10/5): Relaxation at its best - Awesome views. Very relaxing. Had a massage as well, best massage I've ever had. Amazing service. Nothing
• Ben (8/5): -
• Seleshini (10/5): -
• Helene (10/5): - Un merveilleux séjour de 2 nuits dans le lodge Bushman. La vue est splendide et le lieu d'une grande quiétude. Jaccuzi préparé pour notre arrivée (très appréciable bien qu'un peu froid ☺️) Nous avions réservé les repas sur place, qui sont délicieux. Le Lodge est vraiment très beau. Les températures sont fraîches en fin de journée à cette époque, mais avec le poêle à bois, les couvertures chauffantes et l'ampoule chauffante dans la salle de bain c'était parfait. Nous avions réservé une excursion au Lesotho au départ du Lodge, souvenirs incroyables. Bref si nous avions eu le temps nous serions volontiers restés plus longtemps !
• Kwanele (10/5): Every thing was good - Tranquility and rooms Nothing
• Joris (10/5): Verborgen parel in de bergen - Super locatie! Zeer professioneel en vriendelijk personeel.
• Petra (10/5): Ganz gleich,ob man relaxen möchte,wandern,angeln,kajaken,oder was auch immer,hier kann jeder seine Wünsche erfuellen! - Traumhafte Lage mit vielen Moeglichkeiten zur Erkundung—überdurchschnittlich freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal—sehr gut ausgestattet—jederzeit moeglich,Kaminholz wieder aufzufuellen,und ganz besonders moechte ich die professionelle Massage- Therapeutin empfehlen! Sollte man sich keinesfalls entgehen lassen! Da gibt es Nichts!
• Brenden (8/5): -
• Ludivine (9/5): Environnement spendide et calme - L'environnement du lodge est tout simplement spendide et grandiose. Le personnel est très gentil et les repas (petit-déjeuner et dîner) sont parfaits. Le froid glacial la nuit dans le lodge. Il n'y a qu'un poêle pour chauffer le lodge et dès qu'il est éteint il fait donc un froid glacial. On vous fournit le bois que vous devez payer...Vu le prix de la location et que c'est le seul moyen de chauffage, je trouve cela un peu mesquin. C'est pour cela que je mets un 9 et non un 10/10
• Shiraz (10/5): Exceptional - How peaceful it is.
• Marais (9/5): Superb -
• Leetang (10/5): Exceptional -
• Samantha (10/5): Wonderful piece of paradise - Super helpful friendly hosts. Very accommodating. Exceptionally beautiful location. The units are all very private. Cleaning staff kept the place pristine, quickly and quietly. Fantastic breakaway place to rest and restore. Lovely birdlife and wildlife sightings. No complaints at all. Highly recommended for a getaway. Nothing at all
• Gontse (10/5): Shout out to chef for breakfast and dinner, great work from the cleaning team. We were lucky to find snow in our sani pa - We had half boarding meal plan, the breakfast and dinner was very good, the portions to big to finish; you can’t be hungry at night. Nothing
• Jonathan (7/5): Good - The views were absolutely breath-taking and the animals came to greet us The road is not the best as it is a long gravel road that forces you to drive 10km/h. The food was average, not a lot of variety and portion sizes could be bigger.
• Taneal (8/5): Stunning, great location and beautiful tranquility! Incredible staff(Ross) - The views and cabin location is unbeatable. The wildlife topped it off The cabin was quite small and a bit dated
• Stephen (9/5): Superb - The view was amazing
• Suren (8/5): An awesome home away from home, especially if you're looking for some tranquility. - Excellent location and the views are spectacular.
• Grant (9/5): Superb -
• Ncedile (8/5): Very good -
• Monteiro (9/5): Perfect view and serenity - The place was located at a perfect scenic setting. With a lake and mountain surrounding. The place was clean and well situated. The hot tub was a must in cold weather and the mountain views. Everything was perfect.
• Natasha (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lee (7/5): Perfect place to chill and relax in nature. - The views. Lodge inside and out needs some attention but it does not detract from the tranquility.
• Roelof (10/5): Can’t wait for our stay next year. This venue is beyond special - Love everything about the property. Awesome views, friendly staff and beautiful chalets. Be aware of mobile reception being very poor which means we got stuck at the gate for 30 min trying to get a hold of reception to open the gate
• Zazah (9/5): Superb - The apartment was fully equipped. Fire place and breakfast was good The joined bed and the bridge drive way it had water overflow. Scarry
• Gumede (10/5): Exceptional - The place was so beautiful and it exceeded our expectations
• Jonker (10/5): Nature Relaxation - What a lovely relaxing place. Awesome view. In nature next to a lake with the mountains in the background. Clean place and friendly staff. The playground for the kids need some upgrade.
• Heléne (9/5): Superb -
• Martin (9/5): Superb -
• Taryn (8/5): A fantastic gem in the berg! - The location is fantastic. The views are marvellous and the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. In honesty, the bath towels needed replacing. They were rather threadbare. And the toilet in the 2nd bathroom (not the main en-suite), was leaking.
• Ntombifuthi (10/5): Exceptional -
