This was the first stop on our 2-week honeymoon trip along the Garden Route. (We subsequently stayed at another 5-star establishment and unfortunately had many points of comparison.) We had the honeymoon suite and the view of the lake is spectacular - quite a site to wake up to. However, the honeymoon suite was not clean. We arrived late in... More

Dear Philip I'm very disappointed at such a negative review. As you can see from all our previous reviews, your 3 out of 5 star rating is not the norm. Perhaps even exceptionally strange? The standard that you describe is not fitting with the standard that we maintain at Lodge on the Lake. Please let me clarify a few points:... More

Wilderness is one of the best places at the garden route and lies directly on the N2, ideal to stop and rest for a few days in between the travelling along the spectacular garden route. The Lodge On The Lake is definitely a high quality small hotel with breathtaking views. Only 5 rooms, all different from each other, all facing... More

From the minute you walked through the front door of this beautiful Lodge, you know it is going to be special....the infinity pool disappearing into the lake behind...I was lost for words.

Nick, thanks for the great review! Having couples on their Honeymoon is always special, and I wish you a long and happy marriage. Your review says it all, fortunately we are blessed with a spectacular view at Lodge on the Lake, but we realize that we cant count on that to be the only thing that makes our guesthouse special....

We went to the spa for a hot stone massage, which was very enjoyable. The staff were very attentive and everything was beautifully organised. When we booked, we enquired whether we could both have a massage at the same time - they specifically organised a second masseuse to come in to accommodate this. After the massage, we were offered a... More

We stayed for one night. The room was large and nice. Great view from the balcony. And lovely pool and breakfast spot. Breakfast was exactly what we where looking for; healthy and fresh. Charming and professional staff. Good value for money.
