I stayed here with my parents one night in April en route to the Kruger area from Johannesburg. We arrived for a beautiful sunset, but unfortunately the morning was very foggy. The units are nicely constructed, and the grounds are nicely landscaped. We ate at the restaurant, which served a buffet style dinner and breakfast that were ok but not... More

Before entering Kruger, we were happy to stay for one night at this beautiful and well-located Guest House. After a tasty welcome drink we were shown our room which was spacious and lovingly decorated. From our veranda we could see the breathtaking scenary of the canyon when eventually a small herd of zebras arrived to rest and graze on the... More

An attractive, well appointed lodge with comfortable en-suite rooms. Staff were courteous and helpful with good advice about visiting local attractions. Tasty three course dinners and excellent breakfasts were served al fresco on the raised terrace overlooking the gardens where, if you are lucky, you may see wildebeest, impala or zebra strolling by. A good base for exploring the stunning... More

We spent two nights here after a stay in Kruger National Park. The property was so pretty, and the room smallish, but comfortable. Breakfast and dinner was served on the lovely covered deck. The pool was very refreshing for hot afternoons. It was very relaxing to spend time at the hotel, in the lobby or by the pool. The manager,... More

The rooms are very small room with a double bed which opens right on the walk way and close to the lounge so whoever passed the room or sat in the lounge could have a clear view of the inside. No privacy although a very clean room. The staff was friendly and helpful.. Dinner was ok. Breakfast was excellent with... More

I will start with the positives about this place. The location is good, with a beautiful view of the mountains, especially in the morning, and the lodge is quite beautiful. They were also nice to prepare breakfasts for us to take with us when we had early morning plans. But overall, the experience was poor, bordering on rude. When we... More

This hotel is great! It's traditionally decorated with South African themes and is beautiful! The views are great and the property is quiet, but zebra and other animals do roam the area. The dinner is very good and the staff is also great. We stayed in a luxury queen room, which was nice but a bit on the small side.... More

We spent 3 nights at Blyde River Canyon Lodge in May. Rooms are comfortable but a little dated in places. The lodge has a very attractive setting. Breakfasts were excellent with a great selection of fruit, cereals, bakery items, cold cuts, etc. as well as fresh cooked egg dishes. The dinners were generally very good as well although our last...

Met with lovely cold drink on arrival. Upgraded to "honeymoon" room which overlooked the garden. Had the set meal on the verandah in the evening which was exceptional value for money and delicious too! Looked out over zebras and impalas grazing on the lawn! Pool was small but great for a dip. Drove to the dam and the lake -... More
