Superb location, remote and quiet, good for the soul but with beautiful rooms and communal parts. Loved the game reserve too, however, the staff make it a fabulous experience, happy to help in every way from start to finish, high service standards in my view.

Shower in the Kudu room at the Marco Polo lodge, leaked terribly. Water all over the bathroom floor. When we arrived for check in, there was no one there. We waited about 15 min , before staff arrived to check us in.

Beautifull setting Good wifi Had backup power during loadshedding Lovely wines

tip..a ‘sunbrella’ on the porch should be nice. itthwre is no shadow

what a beautiful ‘resort’. we had the cottage beside the main building with a marvelous view over the valley. A very nice pool near the main building. staff very friendly

Lack of attention to details: AC not working, no shampoo, and curtains were a bit dusty. Should hire more staffs.

The spectacular view, the helping staffs and the vintage interior settings. Bed was rather comfortable. Four adorable cats.

lots of old hunting trophies- tusks, a stuffed lion, wall mounted heads etc

superb position to see the sun set over the mountain on the far side from Franschhoek Pass. excellent breakfast, lovely having block kudu and zebra right in front of the pool

Some slight issues as there was a water leak and the shower was faulty.

Beautiful location set in the mountains. Only a short drive to Franschhoek with plenty of restaurant options. The staff were very friendly and breakfast was arranged for us at an extra cost but it was definitely worth it as it was delicious.

nothing. great place

its one of the most beautiful locations I’ve ever seen. really peaceful, clean

Quite a drive from Franschhoek-you really do need your own car. No insight dining in the evening. Local restaurants on the estate not part of the hotel and usually fully booked. The hotel should earn guests to book restaurants ahead of their stay.

Stunning views from the main property. Breakfast on the balcony. Zebra and springbok to watch. Helpful staff. Lovely wines to buy. Nice pool. Braai facilities

ubers were difficult to get to our lodge. hotel staff was very helpful and called us a taxi. we used this taxi service multiple times afterwards, which worked good. the road from the gate towards lodge is approximately 5 mins, which any car can easily manage (toyota aygo).

majestic main building, overlooking the valley of Franschhoek. view from the pool, looking over the game reserve with ostriches, zebras and gazelles.

no fridges in the room, 2 communal fridges.

The view, the location, the garden

Perhaps the room itself was slightly outdated, we didn't use the living room, and the bathroom was very small.

Exceptional lodge with very cool communal area, pool and stunning views of the vineyards and wild animals nearby. The breakfast was yummy and staff super nice. Great to be staying somewhere with electricity during load shedding too!

Tiny little touches of detail which I am sure if fixed would give this a 10 star rating

Not didn’t like but Road going up to the lodge need some repair in places…4x4 would not struggle🙃

Placement of aptly named ‘Waterfall’ Lodge next to the waterfall had scenic views and added to the tranquility and beauty.

I immersed myself in the natural beauty of the mountainous landscape. The drive up to the lodge was scenic , passing vineyards and peaking mountains. The room was spacious and had a luxurious bathroom with an immaculate bath tub! The staff also assisted us when we needed assistance with the television. The office manager , Natasha was pleasant. She gave us a tour and informed us about the origins of the resort.

The security inability to give proper directions

The scenic view and Brywell was very accomadating.
