"Loved our stay at Aquila! We stayed in the family room which was very spacious & had a patio area outside. All the food was lovely with a big selection from the buffet. We had African wood massages in the spa and used their facilities which were lovely. The grounds are big and spacious and you can sometimes see animals from your windows But of course the best bit were the safaris, we loved the drives seeing all the animals in the reserve my mum also swapped one of the drives for a horse riding safari which she enjoyed. Would definitely recommend staying here for atleast 2 nights "

"Everything about this hotel is great. They take you back in time when nothing was too good for you. I have been in South Africa for 6 weeks and the evening meal was delicious on all courses. The best I have had on this trip. Service very friendly and helpful. "

"Our family stayed at Swartberg Country Manor for one night in February. The first thing that greeted us was the beautiful grounds, and restaurant with a stunning view of the mountain. Then we saw a beautiful historic house with a big old stoep; here we enjoyed 3 very comfortable rooms. And let me not forget the kind and professional staff, including their head chef who made the most wonderful 3 course dinner! A gem! Thank you for a lovely stay. "

"This lodge is set in a beautiful area, it is outstanding and so relaxing. This was our second visit."

"Love the staff the most! Gabriela, the new waiter in training (last name Thomas I think) everyone!"

"What an amazing place! Attention to detail was next level, will definitely return!"

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at old Mill. We were in one of the tents which have air conditioning, which was nice since it was a little warm and it was on the river driving by the other places I think we made the right choice. Dinner was fantastic My only complaint is they say it’s working ostrich farm so I was really looking forward to seeing and interacting with ostriches. They had four that you could feed mind you. They bite a little lol and 20 or so as you leave. Besides that great place"

"Overall our experience at Inverdoorn was a posative one, the staff were friendly and accommodating, the game drives were brilliant and our guide Fanwell was very knowledgable and attentive, however before our game drive at 6:30am we were unable to have a shower as there was no hot water, when checking out and paying for extras we were presented with an invoice with numerous drinks and bottles of wine we did not order, upon disputing the extras we were told to contact their head office which we did and still have had no response.

"This property ticks every box. Welcoming. Helpful. Room was exceptionally good. Dining was a wonderful experience. The lounge with a fire each night was a great touch. Would love to return sometime. Very reasonable price as well. "
