                From the moment we arrived and were met at the front door by the Manager Willem, it felt like a wonderful relaxing break was about to happen. It was a lovely stay at this lodge. The staff went out of their way to make it even better. The chef came out from the kitchen to check that dinner was good and dinner as well as breakfast was really good.
                We would go back anytime again and stay longer. Well done to everyone at the lodge.

                We stayed for two nights at Swartberg Private Game Lodge and we absolutely loved it! The lodge itself is beautifully renovated recently and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. We loved the outdoor area too, the pool is great with sunbeds, umbrellas and beautiful views.

                The food was delicious, we stayed at the lodge for all meals as there are not really other possibilities around, but it was great! We also really enjoyed the game drive and saw many animals such as mountain zebras and a baby giraffe with its mom.

                A big shout-out to Willem and the staff, they make sure to make your stay absolutely wonderful. Our daughter, almost two, was warmly welcomed and Willem always ensured there was food to her liking too. Everyone is very friendly and proactive, we will definitely come back!
