The road there is a challenge in a sedan but we were prepared for this from other reviews. The resort had everything we needed so we didn't need to use the road more than the once to get there and then leave.

Beautiful, peaceful setting alongside the dam. We especially enjoyed the hikes - amazing views including some wildlife. Good activities included in the chalet card. Chalet was neat, clean and modern and had the amenities we needed. Helpful staff - there was an initial issue with our booking which was resolved professionally. Chalets were cleaned daily. Restaurant was decent - understandably not the biggest range of food though. It was windy on the water so we didn't do the boat cruise but I imagine that would be quite scenic. Lovely family holiday - we will be back.

The long drive on the gravel road to Qwantani for approximately one hour.

The location of Qwantani is amazing, surrounded by breathtaking views of the dam and mountains. Beautiful and spotlessly clean chalet, yummy breakfast and friendly staff. Lots of activities and entertainment for everyone. It was awesome.

It wasn’t clean enough. The windows were not clean, room don’t have an iron but it was delivered fast when asked. I also didn’t like staff being dishonest about boat times. We requested a boat ride earlier than 12 and we were told it starts at 12 noon. Unfortunately when we get to the harbor there was a returning trip.

Quietness, very private, bar, restaurant and excellent highly friendly staff.

For the price that we paid, there should have been aircons or heaters in the place. We had breakfast included, and when I asked for coffee and juice, the waitress gave me such a look as if it wasn't allowed. I would have paid if need be, but I got it and just felt her attitude was wrong. The kids went for horse riding, and the instructor leading them was beating his horse with the whip excessively. Almost to point of animal abuse.

Nice and peaceful. The quad biking was really awesome, and so was the boat cruise.

The road to the resort is terrible and we are not told in detail about this. Reception said that there is a gravel road that a normal car can go on - this is not true. You must have a 4x4 as a normal car is guaranteed to get damaged on those horrible roads. I also got stuck on the wet grass at the unit after the rain came and had to pull some fancy manoevers to get out. The staff is not very helpful and seem to lack humanity. Be careful of bull timeshare cons - they come all nicely to you thinking cos you have a nice face they can con you, like most idiots in this world - not realizing that friendliness and kindness should not be mistaken for stupidity. Terms and conditions are not clarified properly neither is cancellation fees....beware

The view, the dam experience

Dining area / kitchen was severely understaffed. Waited extremely long while for food (lunch & supper). Order was even incomplete.

View, peace & tranquility

It was not that we did not like it but the entry road is about 20km of dirt road so be careful, especially if driving a rental car. We did love the sign posts though, you will understand when you visit.

Beautiful location with stunning views. We were lucky to have a self-catering chalet facing the water. Facilities were clean and comfortable with fantastic outdoor and indoor facilities. The restaurant food was good and catered for all needs and good facilities for children although the pool was a bit cold. The nature reserve is adequately equipped with fun water activities. There are wild horses, we saw wild baboons roaming when driving to down the entry road as well as buck.there are multiple bird specoes and definitely and anglers paradise on the lake.

I have been coming to Qwantani for the past five years. Our unit WB 02 did not have a blind in the kitchen. This unit also needs to be fumigated and deep cleaned. The beds in the two smaller rooms were very uncomfortable. With that being said, we will still return as we love the peace and beauty of the sterkfontein dam.

The tranquility and the serene views of the dam. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. I loved the spa treatments.

Some chairs could have been provided by the harbour gazebos - we had elderly in our group and luckily we had a couple of camp chairs with us.

Fabulous resort that ticked all the boxes to provide activities .space and relaxation for a large family group . Thank you to the staff who placed us in nearby chalets.

The carpet was my turn off it needs be cleaned. They need to invest in a backup for all the houses when there's loadshedding.

The place was breathtaking 😍 and the staff was very friendly.

The restaurant staff need to speed up a bit. I understand that you're on holiday and need to relax, but if you sit in a restaurant and get to order a drink after 10 or 15 minutes, it's far too long. We also placed an order for meals, mine being a Beef Lasagna and after about twenty minutes - probably when the other meals were ready, the waitress told us that my meal is out of stock. Maybe let your restaurant staff know about the meals and drinks that aren't available on the day at the start of their shift?

We had one of the revamped units, I believe, so gas was used for cooking, our preference. The unit was clean and tidy. People mentioned about the gravel road, but it isn't too serious, unless you haven't seen one before. It's just time consuming as you drive at 40km/h for 20km. Overall a good experience. (We were snowed in, so it made this trip a first and very special)

The 20km gravel road does not work for cars, not only does it cause damage to one's vehicle it extends the trip by one hour. Secondly, could have been notified that entertained cancel or maintenance being carry out to certain parts of the resort.

Location quiet and serene. Great family experience.

The only negative would be the 21km dirt road to get to Qwantani!

All the staff were super friendly, efficient and helpful. Thank you Mamoela (sp?) for your friendly and informative phone call prior to check in and on arrival. We watched the Springbok / Aus match at Harbour View. Food and drinks were great. The Staff were really good.
