A hidden gem

Reviewed By Bigadventurehunter

This is a hidden gem in the hilly bush terrain on the way to the National Park. Very quiet and secure. When I come back I would choose a room downstairs. The loft was huge and open. I like sleeping in a smaller room. That's just a me thing. The meals were top notch and a great price. The meals were full of fun conversation with the owners and other guests. If you want to meet fellow travelers and learn about SA this is the place for you.

Magoebaskloof Mountain lodge

Ideally located in the beautiful Magoebaskloof mountains of the Limpopo Province, on the very north eastern tip of the Drakensburg mountain range. Fondly called “the mountain of the silver mist” due to the shroud of soft mist that usually covers the area. On entering the Lodge allow yourself to be transported into tranquility and indulge yourself with our cooling misty mountain air and fresh spring water, while surrounded by lush evergreen subtropical vegetation.

Very poor

Reviewed By mnkosi138684

It was the worst experience ever. The rooms are very small with this terrible smell, whether it's a smell from the thatch, have no idea. Worst thing ever, we didn't have hot water for shower, when we phone and ask, the maintenance guy was called out to attend to us, we waited 30 to 45 minutes for the guy. Eventually when he finally gets to us, he says 3 or 4 rooms are sharing a geyser. So first come first serve with hot water. Long story short, we were one hour late to our meeting because of such an inconvenience.

We made use of the camping facilities which is exceptionally neat and clean. It is a relatively small facility, on the outskirts of an informal village and in a stunning bush veld setting. Lots of birdlife and beautiful views of river that was flowing strongly at the time. The facilities are well kept and spotless! The owner is very hands on and a great host.

This gem is located a few km's from Groblersbrug (Grobler's Bridge) border. We discovered it after crossing quite late at night without a accommodation plan and after Eskom had implemented loadshedding ?. Petra and Pieter were beyond amazing. They are authentic, attentive hosts. The food!! Absolutely ?delicious ?We had dinner and breakfast at Weltevreden and felt thoroughly spoilt. We only stayed one night but would definitely love to visit again. You should have a walk around the antique store on-site if you've got some time, totes worth it!
