Esther's Country Lodge

No heating, Shower water cold

Breakfast and comfortable sleep

The lodge is conveniently located from the nearby wedding venue we attended. The breakfast was excellent with great coffee. The room and bathroom facilities were adequate for a one-night stay. The restaurant area, patio and ablution facilities were very neat and clean.

The rooms are small and the mattress and pillows quite uncomfortable. The gardens and swimming pool at the rooms need a lot of maintenance, repair and care. There are no air-conditioners however the ceiling fan worked well.

Very peaceful, excellent treatment by everbody.

The breakfast the next morning!

The hosts.

Wonderful place to relax. Very clean and well maintained. I enjoyed the recipes and the welcome .

Immaculately maintained with personalized care from Ester, loved our time there.

The breakfast was incredible. Couldn't have been better. The marmalade is exceptional. Esther is a very caring hostess.

The weather.

Gardens well kept. Friendly staff. Nice swimming pool. Nice breakfast.

Small rooms, lumpy pillows, TV did not work and host could not fix. Rooms need an upgrade and painting. Disappointing stay.

Friendliness of owners and staff. Peaceful surroundings. Every meal was a delicious experience. Tranquility just what I needed.

Size of room being small was not expected, but got use to it. No microwave in room to warm late cold leftovers.

Rooms are clean and towels are supplied. The breakfast included in the stay was excellent, with a variety of homemade breads. They also have a wonderful selection of lunch menu options. Full bar service is available and can also buy treats e.g. jams, a selection of cheeses, etc. It is a very peaceful and tranquil setting. The hosts were super friendly and accommodating. Check with the venue times for the Saturday/Sunday lunch cut-off before heading out.

Dining/restaurant area

Very small room, compact area! No milk in the room for early morning coffee, towels were not nice!

The food at the restaurant and the hosts were really great!

The rooms are not that comfortable. Not convinced that the price charged for the room is worth it.

We had a very good English breakfast. Esther kindly accommodated our early breakfast request and was on time, smiling as always!! She was even willing to go the extra mile, wanting to know if we wanted more bread or coffee/tea.

I do not think it about not liking but more the discomfort of too many cats roaming around. My wife is scared of cats and the sight of many walking around us unsettled her - we do not own pets, hence the discomfort.

The breakfast was good.The host is very friendly.It feels as if we were friends for years already!It was my wifes 60 th birthday and I requested the host for something special,which she did!

No complaint!

What a lovely experience the food was exceptional and the best hospitality and services

Their service is top notch. Hospitality. The cleanliness

They have no Aircons but the owner offered us heaters. we were warm at the end of it

The friendly, welcoming staff and owners, very accommodating

Perfect ! Love the home made bread and strawberry jam !

Damp smell in the room.

We had an awesome break. Peaceful, well kept garden areas with spots for relaxing. Hosts were awesome - very friendly and helpful. Fantastic food. What more could you want for a good break.

The rooms were not entirely clean and there was no one to clean my room daily or change the bedding and towels. The pillows were uncomfortable .

Eating same food everyday

Breakfast was excellent home made bread and preserves. Owners very friendly and we were greeted as if part of the family. Beautifully maintained clean open plan building. Loved the cats strolling around

My room needed slight maintenance door hinge loose shower slow draining that's about it

The location is amazing, and Ester is an amazing host and super kind and friendly! I would definitely go back again for a visit.

Breakfast was a great English breakfast

The breakfast was lovely and the setting was beautiful.

The water pressure in our room (6) was a little low, the shower rose needs descaling

Full English breakfast was excellent, with home made bread.

The calmness of the place,

Parking just next to your room. It makes it very easy to get your stuff out of the car. The garden is spectacular . We had a pleasant sundowner

The size of the bedding. We had 2 small sheets and 2 small duvets overlapping on a King size bed. Never seen any thing like this before. Weird

Lovely garden and friendly staff

There was no phone signal in the room.

The Staff and owners were lovely Stunning yoga studio Esther was very accommodating Thanks for everything Food was amazing Very peaceful Perfect place to relax and read a good book and enjoy good wine

Microwave would be great A bath would have been nice Building needs a bit of up keep outside Noise on the main road at times

Food is incredible! hospitality was outstanding 🙏

Neat and cozy room. The English breakfast was great!

The warm an friendly faces from the staff an the massger

That i ddnt get to ride a game drive thats all but everything also went well

Esther and staff are really helpful and kind. The food is amazing, really good breakfast and dinner that I had. Quality food, freshly homemade. Oh wow I had the best cheesecake there

Loved this place. Would definitely go again or recommend it.

Restaurant could have been cleaner, especially with all the cats roaming around, the fur tends to stay on the coushins.

I liked that it was in a secluded area, quiet and beautiful.

No bedside mats, no microwave and no headboards. And also there were single duvets but we booked in as a couple.

The scenery, the garden views very amazing❤️Dinner was really lovely. The hosts allowed us a late checkout @11h00. The location is easily accessible to Magalies and Haartes.

I didn’t have the warmest welcome. I had walked past the reception which I had mistaken for a dining area. When Esther came out she’d literally interrogated me asking me why I had chosen to walk past the open door and towards the guest rooms. Even though I’d tried explaining to her that I’d thought the open door was only the restaurant area and was walking towards where I’d thought would be, Esther simply just carried on. If it wasn’t the fact that my friend and I had driven over 2hrs to get to the location which I wasn’t even familiar with and that it was already dark, I definitely would have left on the spot and looked for an alternative place to stay. Also what struck me as being weird was that each time when both my friend and I asked for a Wi-Fi password Esther took our phones and punched it in herself and we were never given the password. I’d found this very odd.

Rooms were very clean and neat. Comfortable stay. Food at the restaurant was also good. 👌
