You have to see the Du Kloof mountains in person to understand the vastness and fantasticness of their beautiful. The Lodge is wonderfully situated, facing the mountains. The service was good, the price was very affordable, comfortable bed. I loved everything about it.

Dale & Jonandi run a smart outfit here which is a perfect location for advert and movie shoots apart from accommodation which is also fantastic. Drainmen Services recently came here and enjoyed the surroundings ! Keep up the good work guys...

To hear what Anton had done turning this into a covid19 hospital, caring for the poor community of the area is highly commendable. Its a disgrace to learn that so little funds are available for this uplifting endeavour. His staff and those gifters who bring the of bag of goodies and the support he has had during his church is much appreciated. We need more of his Ill in this beloved country.

I attend this facility due to my isolation of Covod 19 . But I would recommend this facility after this pandemic anytime to anyone . Nature is right on hand . And the natures views is spectacular.

Went there to drink a cup of coffee. Beautiful scenery. The service is from top quality. A guy called Andre(I think), he is the chef there. What a great guy he is. He introduced his top dish to us. The croissant breakfast (I dont know the name) but it was delicious.

The mountain views and hospitality of the staff is out of this world. Andre is an absolute supper star and a fantastic host.

Review №16

Such a surprise, once you are there you do not have a sense of being close to the N1. Instead the feeling is of being surrounded by nature - soaring mountains, the river, birds and vegetation. Friendly service and tasty food available. Rooms are modern, only thing to be aware of is that sound travels a lot between the rooms.

Scenic. Beautiful retreat away in the mountains with tons of open space to explore the river banks or even just to relax, sit back and have a meal at the restaurant or bar. Definitely a spot to add to the regulars list

Truly breathtaking scenery combined with friendly and accommodating staff. A well deserved 5 Stars. For the professional, an added bonus, its also a great filming location.

This place has such a lovely view when sitting on the deck outside. It is really a pity that you have to wait 15 min and then still no waiter, had to go and order food at the counter which also took a long time. Had to clear the table by myself - No waiter !

The Du Toitskloof Lodge is situated between majestic mountains and beautiful surroundings. We stopped to have breakfast. My husband had a Mr Farmers breakfast(egg, sausage, bacon, chips and toast) which he enjoyed very much, while I settled for a Mrs Farmer which consists of fruit, nuts and honey. Although it is not a large plate of food, I enjoyed it very much. There is also a well stock bar available and there is self catering cottages available for rental.

A Very unique place. Most fascinating view on the mountains. Very friendly manager and staff. Intensive renovations being done at present,promising great results.We only went sightseeing and had coffee but a very special and interesting place.

Review №24

A perfectly situated restuarant with floor to ceiling glass windows with magnificent views of the mountains. The trout was crispy on the outside,tender on the inside, perfect the first time, not crispy the second time. The venue is perfect for weddings as well. The bathrooms are modern and the place is clean... except for all the windows. The venue was prepped for a wedding, but the floor to ceiling windows were dirty, such a pity!

Review №25

Place was stunning. Loved the natural beauty. Tranquility and serenity at its best with the natural flow of the stream. A definite come back. Do go early if you want a braai spot as space is limited for braaing. Staying overnight is on our To Do List for 2020

Review №26

With such beautiful scenery, one would have expected better service. We were at a wedding in the midst of load shedding. No generator available - bridal couple had to arrange one. Guests sat in the sun, with not enough umbrellas available. Neither the dorm door nor our chalet door could lock. Taps loose in bathrooom, etc etc. All gueasts shared the same sentiment - it can be a stunning venue, if better managed.

I often visit the lodge. Love the ambiance. Visited on Saturday. Had fish platter for 2 which was delicious. Ordered salad with it. The green salad was not very nice, due to the type of cheese in the salad. Friendly staff.

Review №32

Cozy little resort. Would be perfect for a weekend breakaway in winter, or a spring wedding. Offering accommodation, restaurant, pub, games room and a gorgeous river front outdoor area, framed by towering mountains. Staff very friendly, grounds well taken care off. Large barbecue facilities also available on site.

Note: I may be hangry..Look, when you know youre one of the hosts for a wine festival. You should prepare accordingly. I understand that its more of a lodge than a wine farm, meaning that you dont have a wine stand (at a wine festival), but if the customers sit for more than two hours waiting for their breakfast, its not the best signs in the world.They have great scenery and fishing to boot, but I cant see myself returning for the food or service any time soon.If youre looking for a place to brunch some time next year, this is your place. Otherwise, most places would be more accommodating.

What a great experience. We happened to visit over Soetes en Sop weekend when we dropped by for a quick drink. The staff went out of their way to make sure all the patrons were served quickly and professionaly. I could only fault the lack of ice due to a domestic ice machine, but the staff did their best to offer alternatives. Looking forward to visiting again. Keep up the great work!

Great vibe in the pub. Comfy accommodation close to the CPS rivers. I dont fish in the dams because I hate the concept of not being allowed to release fish and having to pay through your eyes for the ones you catch. Make it catch and release!

I dont even know where to begin with my review on Du Kloof Lodge as a wedding venue but everything was absolutely perfect! We had most of our wedding guests staying for 3 nights and everyone on the wedding night which was incredible that they offer so much accommodation and facilities!The ceremony, pre-drinks and reception venues are beautiful with the majestic mountain backdrop and the staff are all so helpful in making everything run smoothly, lastly the food was amazing and all the guests were raving about everything! Thank you so much to everyone at Du Kloof for making our wedding weekend so incredible!

The swimming was very nice but the day visitors place could be better.The cement table was loose, it camed down on my dad and he fell very hard and he has already got a bad back, he could have been injured very bad they need to upgrade it and make sure everything is well built!! and the branches is so out grown, we needed to cut it to be able to use the cement table (just be carefull because its loose you can get injured)

We stopped to have breakfast in Dec 2020 but the restaurant was closed to the general public. Probably due to Covid. Not sure if and when it will open again. It looked like the accommodation part was still operating.

Review №53

We visited on a hot Sunday in November aiming to have lunch and a small hike. I was really very pleasantly surprised to find the place not overcrowded with noisy picnickers which for some reason I half expected.We were told we could not hike because they were filming. Very disappointing. But we headed for the river and had a lovely hour there. Then went for lunch. The food was really very good. We had the trout salad and the bobotie. Good, friendly service but the bobotie took 25 minutes to arrive. Then we met a manager who explained we could hike and told us where to cross the river. Maybe someone should enlighten the reception staff.Had a lovely hike with great views. Then came back and order bobotie again! I do love it. This time it arrived in 10 minutes. Go figure! A very pleasant day out with room to relax. Will come back to fish when its not so windy.
