African Rock Lodge

It's only fair to give African Rock Lodge a 10. We arrived at the lodge after visiting the panoramaroute. It's located perfectly. We booked this based on reviews and pictures. I can tell you that the pictures don't do the lodge enough justice. The lodge is more beautiful in real life. When we arrived the owner, Sander, came out immediatly. Sander speaks the dutch language fluently. I also heared him speak English and German fluently. He helped us with our lugage and showed us the room. And what a room! Its decorated in African style, but you still feel right at home. Its provided with adaptors for charging and even extra towels and bathrobes for the swimmingpool. We booked a safari at Krügerpark and it was exactly as described. The lodge provided us with breakfast take away and Sander even got up at 5 to wave us goodbye. We paid the safari when we checked out. The owner didnt charge us the amount that we discused, it was cheaper! It was cheaper because 2 other people went with us on the sagari. So a 10 for honesty! We slept perfect at this lodge, it was quiet and the bed was great. In the morning we went on a mountianbikeride, which Sander recommended. The bikes were provided for free. And it was awesome!! Seeing wild animals, such as giraffes, pass while riding a bike, it's an experience we will never forget. After the ride, we took a swim in the swimmingpool. The pool was freshly cleaned and had the perfect temperature. We ate dinner twice at this lodge. And breakfast once inside the lodge. And what a meals!!!! All the meals were freshly made and it was a buffet. So you can choose between different meats and veggies. I would deffinetly book this lodge if i'm ever in the area again.

Everything was perfect, the hospitality was just great.

Everything exceeded our expectations.

We had a fantastic time at the African Rock Lodge and would highly recommend staying here. The host went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic time. He took us on a Blyde Canyon Day Tour, picked us up from the airport and transferred us to our next accomodation at an additional cost (much cheaper than other tour options). The room was clean, neat and styled beautifully. The food for breakfast and dinner was delicious. We also made use of the bikes and road around the estate seeing Giraffe and Zebra! We are already looking forward to returning again with our friends. Thank you!

We had a fabulous 5 night stay at African Rock Lodge. Sander and Juliet were amazing hosts, they made us feel welcome from the minute we arrived in their gem of a lodge. Sander was really helpful booking us some great trips-boat cruise, private game reserve drives and gave us good tips on other things to do during our stay. We had breakfast and dinner each day at African Rock Lodge, both delicious, pre dinner drinks around the fire pit set the scene for a delicious braai each evening. Don't hesitate in booking to stay here, we were sad to leave such a lovely relaxed lodge.

Nothing-everything was great!

Absolutely incredible hosts, so friendly and helpful, the food was incredible, the ambiance relaxed and comfortable, the pool was warm and lovely. Was sad to leave, brilliant stay, wish it was longer. Sander and Juliet made the stay wonderful and their children are gorgeous! Can't wait to go back!

That we couldn't stay longer
