Hlangana Lodge

The service at this lodge was outstanding. We received a welcome drink on arrival. A lot of help with picking and booking restaurants in the local area. They were friendly and welcoming making us feel at home. The rooms were lovely, although the bathroom was not quite as attractive and the shower pressure was not ideal. I believe they are doing some refurbishment to the rooms so this may all be different in a few weeks time. The grounds were lovely, the breakfast room was lovely and the kids particularly liked the resident cats who welcomed being stroked. I would say that the setting and the service is deserving of five stars and the only reason we rated it overall is four stars is simply because of the room/bathroom.

Cozy lodge with excellent service. The rooms are very well equipped and the breakfast has many options. It is very well located and has free parking. The people at the front desk help us make reservations for restaurant and we’re very helpful.

A very brief 1nt stay but we loved Hlangana Lodge. The location was perfect, close to restaurants, close to Oudtshoorn centre & only 20min drive to Cango Caves & 15min drive to Cango Ostrich Safari. The rooms were clean & beds were very comfortable, we loved the little room for the kids which gave us a bit of space. We all loved the swimming pool, especially the children. Breakfast was lovely & we liked how we could order food in, especially after a long drive we all just wanted pizza & an early night. The staff were excellent - very friendly & helpful. We loved our stay at Hlangana Lodge & will definitely stay again when next in Oudtshoorn :)

Not sure how to put this really, but to say that while ok, neither Oudtshoorn nor Hlangana Lodge were a really great experience. Perhaps we were just exhausted after a long drive, but we found the hotel tired & and bit ragged around the edges, the front reception staff indifferent, and the mattress unusually hard (I’m someone who prefers a supportive mattress, but this was really excessive). The grounds were beautiful, and I’m sure the lodge is one of the better places if you’re staying in town. PS as the hotel does not have a dinner restaurant, you need to eat elsewhere, and I’m sorry to say that while the town does seem to have good restaurants, we did not feel very safe there after dark - I realize these things are very subjective, so it might just be us, but what it boils down to is that if you wanted to make a stop here to see the things this region has to offer, then personally I’d stay in a lodge outside of town with a restaurant. Sorry.

First impression when you drive in is good. the exterior of the property is well maintained. The greeting by Recrpion is positive, and you are made to feel welcome. Rooms look out onto gardens, with own patio area. Rooms are of hood size, everything worked was clean, and there was a mini bar which was well stocked and reasonably priced. My only regret was that we were only staying one night. Well worth staying for a few days or more.

Beautiful secluded peaceful place. The room was amazing, very large , clean and with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Bed was so comfortable. Breakfast was good. Reception recommended and booked dinner reservations and organised taxis for us to get there and back. It felt very secure and safe. Would definitely recommend this place.
