Everything was lovely except bed was too hard for us. We had dinner of kingklip and it was delicious. Saturday night buffet was rather expensive for us as we are elderly and have small appetites. we have stayed at Redsands many times and have always enjoyed our stay

We found this to be a great place to stay over while travelling through. The rooms were clean and neat as was the Lodge. Most of all we enjoyed the dining room and some really good food. I would go back for sure!

Very neat and tidy, but more importantly, very comfortable and well equiped, with everything you need for an overnight stay on the long road trips to your destination. I have no complaints, plan to stay here again in the future.

Broadwater River Estate

Very poor

Reviewed By JacquieSSwan

I booked a night away for my family, three adults, two children. Upon entering the unit we were met with a horrible smell. It turned out to be the fridge. Absolutely disgusting. We called housekeeping and they came to clean the fridge, which helped. In the evening when trying to have a bath, we had no hot water. The night manager kindly assisted us by giving us access to the unit next to us. This was lovely, but we booked our unit because it had 2 bathrooms, so it was still inconvenient for all of us having to share the one bathroom. Nobody could sleep during the night as there were at least three bats flying about, with feces and urine falling and dripping on us, and mice scuttling about, squeaking loudly. We ended up leaving at 4 am. I suspect this was a long unused unit (just judging by the smell of the fridge) and it has not been properly inspected before we checked in. The only reason I am giving two stars is because the staff did try and assist us with the fridge and the lack of hot water. It was a horrible experience.

What a beautiful part of the world! A wonderful set up at Roggecloof with so many activities to pick from - something for everyone! The guides are very knowledgeable and personable. Cara made each of our outings so interesting - from the Salpeterkop drive&hike to the Fossil Nature drive. Dinner was a treat as well accompanied by some fantastic Roggecloof wines. We would love to return!

Beautyful house in old style

Reviewed By Pilotje

Dundi lodge is a beautyful built house, not so old, but in the old style designed. A fantastic garden with huge palms (and other trees) completes the scenery. Host Bert is taking care of everything, from Avgas for your plane and hangarage for your aircraft till organizing tours to the falls and park. The staff is friendly and helpful and the chef is very good. Rooms are spacious and the bed and shower are good.

A really exceptional luxury lodge in the middle of the beautiful Karoo landscape. Everything from the reception experience to dinner around a warmly log fire, staying in the exquisitely fitted bed and bathroom and departing the next morning with a warm "farewell" was an experience to behold!
