    We stayed in the Lovina suite. It was covered in midge's (gnats) all over the beds and furniture. The thatch roof looked like it hasn't been cleaned in years.The balcony is falling apart, held together with cable ties. There is a jacuzzi, but no view because the plants are overgrown. This place was probably amazing in the 90's, but today, it is in need of heavy maintenance and loads of TLC. The hosts are lovely people, though.

    Visited the lodge for the first time on Monday and was highly disappointed as the owner didn't even know which suite we booked. The rooms weren't cleaned and smelt of old wood. The kitchen is shared and was dirty as if it hasn't been cleaned in forever. There is spiders every where. The one thing I hated the most was that there is a small dog staying there and my son tried to play with him and he nearly bite my 3 year old son. All the owner Ingrid could say was the dog thought my son was gonna steal his bone. Like honestly not even a sorry. I would not recommend anyone stay at this place. This place needs close attention and reconstruction

    If you don’t mind smoke and cigarette smell then it’s great. You own jacuzzi is amazing.

    The place is horrible and not accommodating. There's no bathtub, no wardrobes, no TV, no air-cons, no fridge, kettle, basically no nothing the place sucks πŸ˜• 😒

    Enjoyed my stay at Willinga Lodge. Makes for an amazing local getaway spot with a lovely view of Hartebeespoort Dam from the room. No TV or Wi-Fi. Lowered cars will have a tricky time entering and/or exiting the premises because of the steep slope

    The 2 days that we had at Willinga was one of the best expieriences that I've had in SA, it felt like we were in Indonesia and the hosts were warm and inviting people. We stayed in the Lombok Suite with an AMAZING view of Harties dam. We will definitely become regular visitors, we thank you for the great expierience.

    Spent two nights at this amazing venue. Warm and inviting atmosphere, with a spectacular. The venue is located close to many major attractions and miscellaneous activities, however sensuality and blis of Wilinga will most assuredly keep you captivated and bound to.

    A paradise on earth. From the moment you enter the Kosmos region in Hartebeespoort, you feel as if you've been transported to the valleys of a mystical forest. The hosts, Ingrid and Will, are beyond a warm and friendly couple. I've never stayed a more beautiful, tranquil and breathtaking place in this world than Bali at Willinga.

    The views and setup is magnificent. The room setup is old style.

  • 5/5 Bobby G. 2 years ago on Google
    The real escape from city life to Bali. The jacuzzi, pool and bathroom overlooking the garden is out of this world. The rooms are an adventure to experience. A real breath of fresh air escaping from the city life to paradise. The hospitality and breakfast cooked fresh to the table is unreal. The NMA of SA would definitely recommend

    We stayed over during mid-December 2020. Found a huge spider in the room. The overall room cleanliness was not up to standard. We stayed for 2 days, but I will definitely not be visiting again. It didn't live up to my expectation.

    Booked the houses at the bottom which was nice . But the communal kitchen was not clean. They could do better.

  • 4/5 Lois S. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a lovely experience. The owners were warm, welcoming and accommodating. The accomadation, although a bit dated was lovely and ample for a very happy weekend. So wonderful to be able to take my doggie on holiday. She had a blast and we really enjoyed it. We will definitely be backπŸ˜ŠπŸŒΈπŸ¦‹

    I loved our mini get away, the view was unreal. My little one enjoyed all the greenery, the pool, the fresh air. It's really is a gem away from the city!! Felt like I had left South Africa. Ingrid and Will are fantastic people, and really are true and authentic.

    It use to be THE PLACE to recommend. Would go there every year. So sad, Now it looks very lost and need a huge amount of tlc and a good clean before I'll ever consider going there ever.... Truly sad. Such a gem of a place to drop down to nothingπŸ˜”
