although the property is lovely and in the middle of nowhere, you drive through a "iffy" town to start with.

lovely and peaceful, views of countryside and mountains, some still with a bit of snow/ice on top. bit of a rustic bush camp feel. great braai in the evening over an open fire, plenty of food and then a great cooked to order english breakfast.

The Apple Maps link in Booking.com directs you to another location. I missed the owners message letting me know there's a problem with the link, unfortunately. I feel like it needs to be taken down just in case others miss it as well. The Google maps link is fine.

The accommodation is amazing. We'll definitely return in summer with our families. And Mavel is the sweetest! Her service was top tier!

No complaints

The Lodge is a bit outside of Touwsrivier, but worth the little detour. The rooms are sufficiently equipped with everything you need. The WiFi was okay and breakfast was nice.‘

The property is quite spread out, and the honesty bar/pool table area closed surprisingly early. On two nights we found everything shut by 9:30–10 PM, which felt a bit restrictive for a group of adults. Payments were handled manually with handwritten bills, which made things a bit clunky. A PAYG card system would have been more efficient. A bigger issue was a pricing miscommunication. Several of us joined what was advertised as a R200 “farm drive,” but were later told it was actually a “game drive” and charged double. There was no clear distinction or prior notice about different drive types or pricing tiers. After some back-and-forth, the original rate was honored, but it took more effort than it should have. There were some maintenance issues too—most notably, a fridge beam fell off and hit one of our group members, causing a minor injury. While we chalked it up to bad luck, the response could have been better. Unfortunately, interactions with the owner were unexpectedly curt, with moments that came across as dismissive. It left a disappointing impression at the end of what was meant to be a celebratory trip.

We stayed here with a large group of family and friends after our wedding in Cape Town in March — the perfect chance to wind down together. While the stay had some great moments, there were also a few bumps that made it a bit more stressful than we’d hoped. The rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable, with good beds, hot showers, and cute little terrace areas. Simple, but just right for a group getaway. The pool and garden deck were lovely and definitely the highlight — ideal for relaxing and catching up. A wonderful space to chill out !! The restaurant breakfast was tasty (charged separately unless booked as part of your package), but be aware that coffee pods at the buffet aren’t included, even though they’re right there — and you’ll be charged for them later, which was a surprise for some of us. They do mark it but I didn’t see the sign. Dinner was good but not excellent — quite meat-heavy and on the oily side, depending on your preference. Home cooked vibes. The location has real potential, and there were some lovely moments—but unclear policies, poor communication, and inconsistent service took away from the experience.

Waiting at the gate. The fact that my wife and I had to sleep on two separate beds.

I like the serenity of the place. I like the service. The staff are very helpful and friendly .

Peaceful, well set out and beautifully decorated. But the highlight was definitely Happiness who welcomed us and truly lived up to her name. Nothing was too much trouble and you could hear her singing as she went around organising things.

Too bad it's a has been property.... Everything looks like it's falling apart... The wood garden chair actually did.. And the pool !!..hmm sorry the pond....

Accomodation was great, but we were over charged massively for a short trip to a neighbouring game reserve. If you need to make use of their service make sure you get a price confirmed first. We ended up paying hugely over the odds for a pick up and drop off.

Very poor lighting at night from dining room to our room especially as it was very wet. When we arrived no-one answered bell at the gate - we waited at least 20 minutes before gate opened and then no-one at Reception.

Very comfortable. Lovely amenities. Food excellent.

Nice, quaint and very clean

The staff is very friendly, the food is simple but excellent, the pool is kristal clear and the garden perfect for sunbathing. The houses are small but nice. We stayed 4 days, one day we went on a safari in Aquilas, and the other day we went to a cozy town Matjisfountain. Njalo Njalo is a perfect spot for people who want to relax.

It didn’t have solar power or generators for load shedding.

It was 15 minutes from Aquila. It was simple but had everything I needed. It felt safe and staff were very friendly.

We didn't get the warmest welcome at the arrival, other than that everything was ok

comfy beds, nice room, nice pool, possibility to have local buffet dinner! Really lovely bungalows pathway. Also one of the closest places if you need to go to Aquila (even tho is 15-20 mins by car)

The only complaint was that the fridge in the shared kitchen didn't work, and there was no fridge in the room. However, they do have a convenient bar on site.

We enjoyed our stay. The staff were really kind. There’s undercover parking and a great swimming pool.

Stayed in February 2025

Facilities are a bit old, geyser was turned off when we arrived as it leaked severely when turned on (outside) so we manually had to go outside to turn it on and off the water supply whenever we needed to use the bathroom.

Very beautiful and secluded location. Delicious food options that we were not expecting, and on-site bar made it easy to sit back, relax and enjoy the stunning views of the countryside and wildlife.

The mattresses in our room might need replacing, but it did not detract from an otherwise lovely stay

The breakfast was really good. Fresh and personalized. The staff went out of their way to be kind, thoughtful and helpful. I personally enjoyed their singing while they prepared our breakfast.

The room was a bit dark and the the furniture was tired. Shower cold water was faulty and not always working and needs repairing.

A lovely Lodge with a clean pool. The breakfast and dinner were superb. Really friendly staff.
