First of all, keep in mind it's pretty cheap you get what you pay for, it's a basic roadside motel. The location as a midway stop between Kruger/JoB is superconvenient just off the highway. The rooms were spacious but basic. A little tired, a little shabby. Except the bed and bedding, which was 4starplus. The TV kind of worked, but the shower was good and hot. Fridge, kettle, air-conditioning all ok. The staff were helpful and friendly. The bar sold cold beer and reasonable wine. As a stopover, it worked

No WiFi on the rooms. Dinner was quite good but overpriced for what it was (by SA standards) And we were just unlucky that there was a big group booked in on some kind of team building course so strange goings on in the communal areas, including a 7am volleyball game on the front lawn.

We did an overnight on our way to the Kruger, and it was exceptional. The rooms were neat and clean, beds were comfy and the shower was hot. Our host Pierre went out of his way to make sure that we were comfortable and looked after. We arranged for dinner and breakfast at the lodge, both of which were absolutely superb. Very glad that we came across this gem, very convenient if needing an overnight stop on the way to the Kruger area. Wouldn't think twice to book again.

The only downside that I can think of, which is obviously not the Lodges' fault, is the proximity to the N4. The traffic noise was quite noisy through the night, however it would not put me off of booking up again.

Great place to stay. Friendly, helpful, accommodating staff. The restaurant was great. Room comfy. Yummy steaks. They took care of me with info, food, and attention. The Kruger Hof museum and Boer war graveyard were neat to check out. They got sports going in the reaturant/bar, so that's a good place to rest. You know you're in good hands there.

Ahh, the heater could have warmed the room better. Wayside was great. Can I get a Wayside caps? ;)

We stayed one night on our way back to Johannesburg - and it is a good overnight stop. The lodge is directly located on the N4, you can hear the road a little bit but this was not impairing for us. The Lodge is located in a large garden, everything very neatly laid out. There is a cozy bar and we had nice conversations there with the owner Pierre. The dinner was good, there is no menu but Pierre gives recommendations and we decided for Steak with chips and salad. Safe Parking is within the lodge area.

Super Overnight Stay We stayed here on our way to the Kruger. A simple but very welcoming and pleasant accommodation. We had two cottages. Since we arrived late, they kindly prepared a meal just for us – a great steak and the best fries! We felt very comfortable and also received valuable tips for visiting Kruger as well as the Panorama Route.

We loved our stay at Wayside and the friendliness of the host and hostess Pierre and Sally made the whole experience unique and special. Pierre prepared a homemade dinner and breakfast for us and it was delicious. It was wonderful to see what care and energy they have put into making this not only a wayside stop but a home from home on the road. The rooms have been spruced up and the beds were excellent. We will stay there again when we are next in the area . It is wonderful to see Ye Old Wayside Inn back on the map under a new name but retaining the history and ethos of its past. It is a great stop for Kruger or a place from which to explore the lovely Elands Valley.

There was some traffic noise but it was not stop start and it did not worry us. The beauty of the gardens and ambience overrode this .

Really enjoyed our 4 night stay at Wayside Lodge, Pierre was the perfect host, nothing was too much trouble - from finding the perfect room for my 85 year old mother, to organising hiking and ziplining, to cooking delicious meals for us every evening. The beds are very comfortable and showers nice and hot, gardens are beautiful and the lovely big pool is a bonus. We found a lot to do in the area and could have stayed longer. I can highly recommend spending a few days at Wayside Lodge and enjoying the surrounding area.

There is nothing not to like, if you're happy with a comfy bed, hot shower, friendly host and pleasant surroundings easily accessible from the main road you will not be disappointed.

Hosts welcomed me very friendly. Breakfast was good. The location and the scenery are beautiful. Will definitely sleepover there again

Very friendly and accomodating. Hosts asisted us with dinner although we arrived after the kitchen closed. It was MUCH appreciated!! Lots of history around the accomodation, next time we will stay a bit longer.

A convenient stopover on our trip from the KZN South Coast to the Kruger Park. Dinner was Excellent, well prepared, Beds extremely comfortable. Breakfast was superb! Generous portions, well prepared!

We could not find anything amiss! The establishment, hospitality, food, pricing and overall standard was way above what we expected. Well done! we will be back for longer next time!
