Provider-sourced guest reviews.
very comfortable rooms, friendly staff, excellent food.
our room was visible from the pool, so had to close the curtains to bath, change etc.
Die Lage ist für Naturfreunde toll. Sehr gute Ausstattung. 2 Pools die sehr sauber sind. Sehr gutes Frühstück, sehr gute Küche. Sehr freundliches Personal. Gut organisierte Touren. In den kalten Jahreszeiten spenden die Kamine wohltuende Wärme.
Everything was lovely; the food and the staff were exceptional
We thought overall our stay was a little bit pricy
Beautifully situated. Wonderfully attentive staff. Perfectly luxurious rooms. A treasure to experience.
Everything was perfect
Location. Great for stargazing, if weather permits.
It was just perfect❗️
Exceptional service, great food and beautiful setting
Отличный сервис, доброжелательная команда.
На обед блюда интересные, но нет выбора простой и понятной еды.
Sehr schöne, ruhige und gepflegte Anlage. Sehr schöne und grosszügige Bungalows. Nettes und zuvorkommendes Personal. Sehr gutes Essen. Ein perfekter Ausgangspunkt um Wandern zu gehen oder einfach den Ausblick und die Natur zu geniessen.
An exceptional boutique hotel made an 11/10 by its Staff
Leaving!
Super toller Empfang und tolle Ausflüge mit den Guides, Essen hat sich wärhrend der Woche gesteigert.
Food was AMAZING. Great walks and mountain biking available on site. Staff were lovely, house was gorgeous.

Die Lage, einfach wunderbar
etwas zu teuer für das Zimmer
De locatie, de kamers, de spa en het personeel
Great location and perfect for a quiet getaway. Activities are good (walking and cycling0. Very good spa and the viewing of rock art was special
The dinner menu was a little limited but generally the food was very good.
Relaxing and quiet. The location is beautiful
Some dishes especially the chicken was not cooked properly.
Bereits unser dritter Aufenthalt im Simbavati Cederberg Ridge - ich fühle mich hier unglaublich wohl. Die Kombination aus Luxus und Natur ist einfach atemberaubend. Die Küche ist wirklich sehr gut und die Ausstattung fühlt sich sehr komfortabel an.
Die teuerste Zimmerkategorie hebt sich kaum merklich von den anderen Kategorien ab - die "Pool Suite" hat nur einen kleinen Mini-Pool den man dann eher nicht zum schwimmen nutzt. Da finde ich die unterschiedliche Preisgestaltung etwas schwierig nachzuvollziehen.
Beautifully presented with great attention to detail. Setting is perfect- so peaceful. Staff are fabulous.
This was our 3rd stay at Simbavati Cederberg Lodge and we will certainly be back for a 4th visit. All staff are welcoming friendly and nothing is ever too much. Food is absolutely delicious, bedroom is fabulous beautifully decorated with comfy beds. All facilities you require .

Beautiful rooms in a stunning location. Food was excellent.
Disappointed to not be able to go out on the boat which is advertised in summer months.
Uitgebreide keuze en lekker bereide gerechten.

Heerlijk genoten van de rust en de ontzettend goed georganiseerde excursies
Eigen zwembadje vonden wij niet schoon. Vonden het niet erg om in grote zwembad te zwem
Lage, Ausstattung, Terrasse mit Weitblick, Essen, Personal - alles wunderbar.

Die Unterkunft lässt keine Wünsche offen! Es ist genau so wie man es sich wünscht, wenn man Afrika und Ruhe genießen möchte. Man kann was unternehmen aber man muss nicht. Die angebotene Tours sind super abwechselnd. Die Zimmer sind sehr komfortabel und großzügig. Das Essen und die Weinauswahl haben 1 Stern verdient. Mein Highlight der Chicken Burger zum Lunch! :) das Personal ist wahnsinnig freundlich und sehr aufmerksam. Man will nicht weg und es ist schwierig diese Unterkunft zu topen ! Danke für alles!

Everything, especially how professional and friendly tbe sfaffs were
Die Landschaft, die Ruhe, the Lodge

Die Lage etwas erhöht auf dem Hügel sorgt für wunderbare Aussichten. Die Lodge sowie die Zimmer sind sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und sehr geräumig. Dass Essen, der Service, die Massage, die Aktivitäten ... alles ganz hervorragend.
Sternenbeobachtungwurde als Aktivität angeboten, kann aber nicht mit den Sternebeobachtungen in Namibia und den dortigen Lodges und deren Ausstattung diebezüglich standhalten.
What an extraordinarily beautiful and serene location. And the staff were incredibly friendly. It was the most special experience.

Hospitality, quality of the food and rooms
Loved the location and property - really a stunning venue. The service, food was amazing and really nothing to complain about. The only reason I gave them 4/5 was due to our aircon that didn’t work. At close to 7k a night - they were going to put a small fan in the room to keep it warm and I said definitely not. They than moved us to another room however made a point of mentioning they upgraded us as it was just for an evening. Barring that the place is stunning and if you looking for a quiet remote getaway this is the place to go.

Outstanding food, staff and the most beautiful location. Special touches made the stay extra special.
An absolutely amazing experience at Simbervati Well done to the management and staff - wow !
Nope nothing
Very nice room, very friendly staff, excellent services including dinner and breakfast.
Absolutely beautiful, the staff, food, service were impeccable. We will definitely be returning.
The views are fantastic and so were the food and service. A surprise candlelight bath was a treat especially after a very cold week long camping hike. We loved it and will be back.
The attention to detail, the quality of service and food are exceptional! They baked a cake for my husband's birthday and surprised us after dinner with it in the room!
Excellent landscape and view from the bedroom, woodburning stove very atmospheric. Knowledgeable helpful guide to view flowers in Biedouw valley. Food was excellent, staff very friendly and accomodating.
When I booked the room I noted that it was my Husband's birthday. When we returned to our room from dinner there was a birthday cake for him and a candlelit bubble bath drawn. The room, staff, and meals were exceptional. They have free activities (bicycle riding, guided tours, stargazing etc.) available at no additional cost.
Everything was exceptional.
This trip exceeded our expectations. When we arrived we were upgraded for free on arrival. The service has nothing short of excellent and the attention to detail was superb. Will definitely be back and we highly recommend the Full Board as the activities were great!

Service was outstanding! Location stunning
Can’t think of anything
Emplacement magnifique, tout est parfaitement agencé. Restauration de très bonne qualité.
Everything - attention to detail
Sehr schönes Zimmer, super Service in der Lodge
die Qualität und die Auswahl des Dinners lies zu wünschen übrig. Alles war sehr schwach gewürzt und in fast allen Gerichten wurden Zwiebeln verwendet. Die Hauptspeise bestand aus einem kleinen Stück Fisch und maximal einem Esslöffel Beilage. Da nützt auch alles schöne Anrichten nichts, wenn der Geschmack und die Zusammenstellung der Speisen nicht passt.
Amazing service, food and team. Total peace and silence.
The staff amazing! Setting amazing! Food great! Coffee great! Wine Great!

Great location with wonderful views. Beautiful room with a very comfy bed, relaxing terrace. Lovely bathroom with additional outside shower. Lots of nice shower gels, etc. The Staff were very attentive and helpful. Breakfast and dinner were amazing. There are lots of things to do, other than relaxing. They have organised trips, a Spa, plus bikes to hire with trails and walking routes. The stocked bar fridge and treats in the room were a nice touch. The water bottles with our name on were a lovely surprise.

Tolle Ausstattung, klasse Essen und sehr persönlicher guter Service. Ohne Einschränkungen zu empfehlen.
A peaceful, luxurious retreat in a stunning setting We had an incredible stay at Simbavati Cederberg Ridge. From the moment we arrived (late in the evening), we were warmly welcomed and looked after, even being offered dinner before check-in. The whole experience felt thoughtful and well-organised from the start. We were lucky to be upgraded to a Superior Pool Suite, which was spacious, beautifully designed and spotlessly clean. The private terrace, heated pool, double bathrooms, and both indoor and outdoor showers made it feel like a true luxury experience. Housekeeping was excellent—our room was refreshed promptly whenever we stepped out, and laundry service was quick and efficient. The setting is quiet and remote, ideal for fully switching off. The decor is modern and elegant, and the whole lodge has a calm, peaceful atmosphere. It was the perfect place to relax and recharge. Food was excellent, with high-quality breakfast and dinner included (we had half board). There was a good variety of options, including daily specials, and the service in the restaurant was consistently great. We didn’t try any of the hikes or tours, but the spa treatments were lovely—the massage and pedicure left us feeling totally relaxed. The team were outstanding throughout—friendly, attentive, and proactive. A special thank you to Christian at reception and the restaurant staff who went out of their way to make our stay feel special. One really thoughtful gesture was returning to our room to find a candlelit bath run for us on our final night.

Het was een fantastische verwennerij van begin tot eind!
Best location, tranquil and great staff.
Booking.com charged me for two people when I had booked for one. I have followed up on emails and no reply.
I did not find many meals that really impressed me. They were very fancy
Everything! We had a beautiful room (#11) with a private plunge pool, privacy, and that view out over the mountains. Truly pinch yourself moment waking up to the sun rising over the mountains. Peace and tranquillity. Excellent, discrete, professional service. Good food and wine. Lovely big swimming pool. As others have said, coming back to the room on our last night to find a candlelit bath had been run for us is just one indictor of the attention to personal service. Guided walk was a memorable experience with a knowledgeable guide.
We'd booked full board and activities, not knowing how it would work and not wanting to miss anything. In retrospect, it may have been better to sign up to activities as desired as many are weather dependent, and of course dependent upon how one feels on the day. Area outside at the end of our room (#11) needs tidying up a little.
Vriendelijk personeel.
Geen handsproeier in de douche of verluchting in het toilet. Maar dit zijn maar kleine opmerkingen. Over het algemeen fantastisch!
very well appointed and modern yet traditional.
No Tv for those relaxing moments.
De sfeer in totaliteit en al het personeel was super vriendelijk en behulpzaam
Niets
Such a lovely property, sublime location, plenty of activities to join in, really great food and the best swimming pool of our trip. We especially loved sitting on the terrace for evening meal watching the sun changing the surrounding hills to an orange glow. It was very hot when we visited ( 40 degrees… dry heat) so we didn’t attempt any of the activities that involved a lot of walking!
Nothing! Well maybe having to sign a very wordy disclaimer to the company on arrival.
Sttaff were polite, friendly, helpful and professional - they were the highlight of our stay Nice and large bedroom and bathroom
The surrounding nature is nice but there's not a lot to see.
Location. Setting Accommodation Meals and staff were amazing. Lovely hiking and stunning views.

Einfach alles - die Räume sind einfach unglaublich schön und sehr luxuriös. Alles fühlt sich gleichzeitig sehr edel aber auch sehr naturverbunden an. Der Service war super. Man merkt einfach wie gerne alle Mitarbeiter ihren Job machen und wie jeder den Gästen die schönste Zeit bereiten will. Es gibt 2 Pools mit einer sehr angenehmen Größe. Die Aktivitäten, die man mitmachen kann sind ein guter Mix aus Bewegung und Sehenswürdigkeiten (Rooibos Tee Plantage, Rock-Art, Wanderung, Yoga) auch abweichend davon kann man individuelle Wünsche äußern und eigene Trips machen.
Service and everything was perfect.. massage was the best one i have ever had!
