Clifftop is without doubt a beautiful, peaceful and luxurious lodge at what by the standards of many such establishments in South Aftrica is reasonably priced. Ryan, the chef not only offers entertainment with his menu introduction but also produces first class fare. Ranger Stephanie had boundless knowledge of the country's game albeit at times we felt we had to encourage... more

We had a great deal on a 2-night weekday stay at this lodge, which has capacity for 20 but we were the only 4 people staying! Needless to say we were looked after royally by the resient chef, butlers manager and ranger. The lodge is situated (as the name suggests) overlooking a dramatic green and beautiful river gorge, and is... more

We visited Clifftop Lodge in September 2009 and it was a really a great experience. The lodge & rooms décor is a mixture of modern and south african styles which contributes to the relaxed atmosphere created. It is a place to relax and enjoy, where time seems to stand still. We spent there almost 4 days. Fabulous meals and wines... more

I visited Clifftop Lodge in September 2009 and they offered us everything that individualists and nature lovers could possibly dream of – the friendly relaxed staff created an atmosphere where we enjoyed personal attention, wide open space, untamed nature with lots of wild life under the magnificent African sky. The room décor is not your typical African lodge, which I... more

I had previously stayed here before and enjoyed it but not sure what's happened in the last eight months. Steve our ranger was brilliant and the game we saw was fantastic. The lodge itself was the let down, certainly when we stayed last time the evening meals were excellent. This time it was a very hit and miss affair, we... more

This is quite a detailed review and is actually the letter written to the lodge together with their "response"...you decide... Dear Sir/Madam As a guest having taken my partner for his 50th birthday, we spent 3 nights at one of your lodges, I would like to share with you, our extremely disappointing experience at Clifftop Lodge recently. Being regular visitors... more

Lovely Lodge with great ranger Steven. Unfortunate about the recent revamp; everything painted white, including tiles, an absolute No Go! Male serving staff excellent. Management lazy. Food was decent apart from "dirty" appearance of the chef who was not cleanly groomed. Big Damper on day of departure: Our travel bag was broken into. Management of Lodge refused compensation by hiding... more

We spent 4 nights at the Clifftop Exclusive Safari Hideaway in September 2009. On arrival at the Lodge we were met by the hostess and a butler (with towels to refresh ourselves and a welcome drink). The hostess showed us the main lodge and explained the daily routine to us while the butlers took our luggage to our suite. MAIN... more

The rooms has been revamped and whitewashed in silver and white tones and the tiles have been painted (NO!!) I don't think it's going to last long but at least it Looks... more
