Du Kloof Lodge

Stayed here for our 1st anniversary — totally disappointing. No warm welcome, freezing cold room, dead bugs fell from the aircon onto the bed 🤢. Shower floods the floor, DStv didn’t work, bathrooms were grimy, and there’s zero after-hours help. Nor do they respond to WhatsApp messages. Only good thing? Breakfast and the view. The rest? A hard no

Don't really know were to start from the most amazing views to the kind and helpful staff my Daughters 21st was amazing. The food was outstanding and just to top it off the next morning have breakfast the views with show on the mountain was breathtaking.

We booked a luxury self catering house, I emailed a month prior and had no response. I then contacted them on whats app and was able to do the booking. This is fair and honest feedback from our 2 nights there. The kitchen was ill equipped with one extra large pot and one smallish frying pan. Hiking map at reception does not match the hiking map on the board. Hiking trails are not attended to, the 1st hike we attempted was overgrown and we couldn't pass. Litter on the driveway heading from the parking at reception to the self catering houses. We counted 7 cats at the staff housing area, after finding a tiny kitten near our veranda and tried to find its mum. It was riddled with fleas and had an eye infection. The house itself needs a deep clean, especially the front door area which is littered with bird droppings. It is a beautiful venue, however it seems it's needs a boost and some attention to bring it to its full potential.

We loved the location. Absolutely stunning. Our room was small but really good value. There were some ceiling lights that flickered on and off during the night after we had switched the lights off. The room had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. Breakfast was average - the healthy yogurt/muesli option was not available.

DuKloof Lodge is one of those properties that has been around for quite some time. It has gone through its ups and downs and I am pleased to say it is certainly on an upward trajectory now. The renewed efforts made to improve catering, rooms and ablutions is certainly noted and I see an expansion of some description where there used to be braai areas near the river. As a FlyFisherman, this is an existential property to stay at and the river is near. The staff are all very approachable and lovely people and I choose to stay there more often than not

Friendly staff, spectacular views of the mountains, room was spacious and had a air con for the heat. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - Food and breakfast was amazing!
