Great setting, with nature all round, and some nature trails to explore, very friendly helpful host, very clean and very well maintained

For those who struggle to sleep well - the high up V shaped window is problematic as there is no facility to block out the light coming through overnight. Whilst I can’t suggest an easy fix for that - two out of four of us slept badly as a result. This is not a complaint as such, we were very happy with the accommodation. Being able to darken a bedroom overnight is an issue for people who battle to sleep so just a suggestion for this lovely lodge.

Jackie is a wonderful host, she welcomed us warmly on a windy night into the guest house, and made sure we knew where additional blankets are if we needed for our beds. Bathrooms were provided with luxury complimentary toiletries and white fluffy towels, and beds had comfy mattress and great pillows and linen. The next morning we were served delicious continental breakfast with cold meats, boiled eggs, strawberries and other berries, pastries, freshly brewed coffee, and other selection of food. It's the place we'd live to return and enjoy it for longer.

It was quiet and peaceful. Clean. Breakfast was amazing. Host was lovely.

It's not what I didn't like, it really was lovely. Some things I think that were missing from the room and some information. There isn't anything to warm food or eat off if the host isn't around to do it as there is no access for guests to the kitchen. So you would have to eat out as its only breakfast that is served. There is a communal braai area, but if you aren't able to use the kitchen or have access to kitchen items, how would you braai or make salads etc. Pool is lovely, just needs some more dekking perhaps or repositioning of the chairs.

The booking was for one special night....I proposed to my fiance !:) The owner went out of her way to make it as special as possible. On arrival we were welcomed with bubbly, chocolates and a bunch of flowers, all done by the owner at no extra costs. The breakfast the following morning was really great! We would recommend anyone to this lodge. The owner was friendly and welcoming from the start of the booking!

Peaceful and tranquil Beautiful soft duvet Lovely room with view Gourmet breakfast 15 🤩 hostess by the name of Jackie and her cute poodle Molly Jackie is an absolute star and catered for the halaal dietary requirements

The loadshedding Back up power should be considered Also the fact that there is a beware of snakes sign The rooms should have something put on the windows and doors so that we can feel a bit free.. The door way should have a gate with a mesh on it, so that we don't have to worry about the creepy crawlies Bathroom supposed to have windows

The room was big and lovely furnished with a great terrace. The accomadion offered continental breakfast and scrammbled eggs. The quality was o. k. It is a short drive in town where you will find a restaurant.

Breakfast could have been better prepared with more love.

Jackie was an absolute pleasure, she made us feel very comfortable and at home from day 1. The breakfast was amazing and the views of our room was spectacular and super clean and comfy. Would highly recommend Tortoise Trail Lodge, a home away from home.

Nothing I didn't like, everything was perfect, besides for the weather but nothing concerning.

Due to the remote location, it was so quite and relaxing. The breakfast was delicious and just enough to get you ready for the day. Jackie, the manager, was friendly and very informative. I will definitely return for a longer stay.

Nothing really

I did like the stillness so I could rest peacefully.Our Hostess made us feel at home and was very friendly💯She did give us heart welcome and always checked if we were ok.I will really come back next time

Due to the heath and loadshedding it was a bit warm the fan did help upgrade to Aircon would be a plus point.At First I was a bit scared for safety because of the open ness.but the manager assured us there is camaras.

We liked the host Jackie. She was helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Nothing was too much for her. The breakfast was plentiful. The bed was comfortable and the room was very neat. Really good value for money. We will go back.
