    Beautiful tranquil setting. Well-appointed and spacious accommodation. Plenty of leisure activities for all ages. Spotlessly clean. Isolated and away from busyness....perfect for a complete getaway. I'll recommend this venue to anyone.

    It was a wonderful experience.Lots of privacy between chalets.Great views across the dam and the mountains. Service from all staff was great.Staff attended to all our questions and managed to solve them. The sand road was not a very nice experience as I wonder what it looks like in stormy weather and if any cars were ever trapped on the road as there is no road side assistance and the directions not clearly marked.Around each bend you think you reached your destination just to find another uphill.

    An absolutely magical experience. Mind blowing views. Magnificent hiking trails. Fun and exciting activities for the whole family. Super neat, comfortable, and quiet chalets. Exceptional friendly service from all staff. We received the best and warmest welcome from the general manager Craig Hill. Our 7 day stay was perfection, we will be back. Thank you Qwantani. Highly highly recommended!

    This resort is a gem of you are willing to drive 20km dirt road. Definitely worth the drive. Resort is well groomed although some units need a little TLC. We visited during winter & being cold we were completely caught with the prices of wood. More than 300% Moor expensive than I've ever paid before anywhere else. Take your own wood or bring your credit card. Staff in general were very friendly & helpful except the lady in the shop. Also very weird operating hours. All in all, we loved the resort & will return in the future.

    Amazing getaway. You'll be surprised how many activities there are. There's a lot you can do for next to nothing like pool, swimming, putt putt, table tennis.. They also have volley ball and tennis courts and loads of other fun things to do. You see a lot of game around the resort and the lake is beautiful. It's a bit of a drive around the lake though with the last 30 mins mostly a dirt road.

    We came as a group, made friends, created beautiful memories and left a lasting impression. The Resort offers some of amazing views by the Sterkfontein Dam, the mountain views are so serene. Wouldn't mind make that trip even on the 30+min gravel roadπŸ˜‰. Overall thoroughly enjoyed the weekend.

    I feel that the management should be able to let you know what things there are to do around the areas that might be of interest to you. Google offers more interest than management staff. But ultimately a lovely place, safe and secure. Restaurant is serving good food

    Such a beautiful place! So much for the entire family to do here. Horse riding, lovely mountain walks, water sports and more. Staff are always welcoming and very hospitable. Would highly recommend a visit to Qwantani Lodge.

    Amazing place to relax and unwind. Kid's friendly place with many activities such as hiking and boat rides. Chill around the fireplace during cold winter night. Very welcoming and accomodating staff.

    The resort is beautiful, peaceful, Foo for your soul after a hectic year and you want to take a breath! The dirt road is NOT so great though, approximately 1hr drive, which is fine BUT there is a huge whole filled with water that is a really big concern for families with normal cars. PLEASE have it checked out ASAP!

    Craig and his team are absolutely awesome. You feel so welcome from the second you arrive. The staff are all so friendly and positive. No request is too large for them. The food at the restaurant is delicious. The grounds look manicured, you can see a lot of time and effort goes into keeping it in top condition. The setting is jaw droppingly stunning. Recommend doing a sunset cruise, definitely worth doing. So much for the kids to do. Amazing place.

    Loved the peace and tranquility. Beautiful drive in from main road. Sighting deer and Birds of prey. Saw fish spawning in one of the streams. Staff is very friendly. Stunning view overlooking the Sterkfontein Dam.

  • 5/5 Hilton S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great resort with excellent facilities. Spent two great weeks despite continuous rain, which says a lot about the environment. We have been to resorts all over the country and this is definitely one of the cleanest resorts we have ever been to. He units are well appointed and pleasantly decorated. It is obvious the staff take pride in what they do and that stems from management. We will definately be back.

    Nice place, nice people. All of them. The boat trip was specially great. Only thing that was bothering was that there were no blinds or curtains in the kitchen area and that you didn't have complete privacy.

  • 5/5 Riana A. 3 months ago on Google New
    Will go there again! Nature is very good! Excellent food at restaurant, friendly staff! Nice Lake view from our chalets !

  • 5/5 Muhammed M. 4 months ago on Google
    Amazing destination,beautiful scenic views, many activities for all, upgraded rooms are great. Long gravel road to get into the resort which is based in a nature reserve, which can be done with a car but would be better with a 4x4 Johan, Andries and Commando made sure service was of a high standard, Thank you to them Would definitely book again

    I am posting on behalf of my father that does not have Facebook, this is his favorite place to visit atleast once a year, but if possible twice. The scenery, the atmosphere, the fishing everything about Qwantani is just amazing. The house units is big and well equipped. He absolutely love this place! Ps: ( I have also been here twice, and totally agree) #wanderlist

    The resort was absolutely beautiful with breathtaking views. The ladies at the reception were very friendly and helpful, the lady at the shop is friendly as well. The chalets were well maintained, entertainment area was lovely for adults and kids. Thank you for providing us with the best service, would definitely love to visit in the future again.

    Fabulous place, peaceful and quiet. Awesome views, great units. Only thumbs down are the staff (not the manager) one gets the impression they're doing you a favour. Apart from that a fab place

  • 5/5 S O Equipment Technical Services L. 8 months ago on Google
    Despite being there during the coldest time of the year. We never felt it. The cottages are well insulated, and North is facing. There is a fireplace in the lounge and kitchen area, which is an open plan layout. The service and staff were amazing and worth every cent. The views were amazing. Thank you.

    Great experience, so much so that we’ve booked to go again in January. We stayed in the older accommodation & then in one of the refurbished units which was a big improvement, good news is that all units are being renovated.

  • 5/5 Daniel M. 6 months ago on Google
    Fantastic resort! It was very hot, so they may have to get some fans or aircon, as it was so hot, it became uncomfortable, even at night, and we are from Durban! The almost 21km dirt road up to the resort is very sub-par, and it cost me 5 punctures. That stretch of road really needs to get sorted. Otherwise a fantastic experience!

    I usually don't take my time to write a review but this one deserves it: Nestled in the picturesque Drakensberg region, this is a place that I wholeheartedly recommend. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the breathtaking beauty of the surroundings. The staff at this resort are nothing short of fantastic, providing unparalleled service that left me in awe. The level of service I experienced was truly superior, surpassing all expectations. The attention to detail and care extended by the staff was remarkable, making my stay truly unforgettable. The cleanliness of the place was impeccable, setting it head and shoulders above its competition in the region. One of the highlights of my stay was the diverse range of activities on offer. From exhilarating hikes to serene cruises on the Sterkfontein dam, there was something for everyone. The resort catered to all ages, making it a perfect destination for families with young children or elderly family members. In fact, I brought my 80-year-old mother along for her birthday, and she thoroughly enjoyed herself, thanks to the thoughtful amenities and services provided. In addition to the stunning natural surroundings and the exciting activities, the resort also boasted a comfortable lounge where we could relax and unwind. During a spectacular storm, we found solace in this cozy space, making memories that will last a lifetime. As I reflect on my stay at this remarkable place, I can't help but applaud the team at Qwantani for their unwavering commitment to providing an extraordinary experience. Their dedication to excellence truly shines through, and I am grateful for the memories made during my time there. I highly recommend this resort to anyone seeking a truly exceptional getaway. Well done, Qwantani!

  • 2/5 Pegged Shore Angling South A. 11 months ago on Google
    So my experience is based on the fact that we have been to this resort many times over the years whilst it was still under RCI. It may come across as being really picky but its my honest opinion. The dirt road coming into the resort has sections which are near impossible to pass in a normal vehicle and i feel the resort could help by grading it with a tracker or at least notifying guests in advance. There is absolutely no Cell Signal on this road so communicating with anyone or trying to get help if you get stuck is not possible and dangerous. Whilst i understand that getting away on a holiday means switching off from the outside world, i do feel the resort needs to do more to ensure that guests have access to Cell Signal or wifi. It is impossible to get signal at any of the Chalets unless you are really close to the reception area. This upgrade is not that expensive and requires wifi boosters to be installed around the resort a simple fix and added benefit in this day and age. Load shedding has become the new norm for most if not all SA people and the resort has not moved in the right direction. The 4.5 hour sessions of Load-shedding mean that there is no hot water and no ability to even cook because the chalet's have no Gas components. There are no Gas stoves and no Gas Geysers 2 essential items in a self catering facility who has nearly 12 hours of load-shedding a day. The generator only powers the reception area and there are no lights throughout the resort during the blackouts. A simple fix would be to install those mini solar spot lights or the equivalent around all pathways and chalets to allow guests to move around at night bearing in mind that this is not a camping resort and people dont bring headlamps with them. The chalet's themselves are nest and well kept but they are dated and have not changed in 13 years there are no upgrades and the bathrooms need attention and upgrading. The service on the chalet only happens if you request the cleaning and this can only happen if you have cell phone signal to call reception or it means you have to walk or drive to reception to get your chalet cleaned. The driveways have not been upgrades and in some places they are falling apart and are to Narrow, again not really an expensive fix for a resort. The activities for kids are not what they used to be and the Much Loved Boma Area now has to be hired at a cost of R3500 if you wish to use the area. In the past the resort would host Saturday Night Braais and it was really a nice end or start to a holiday. This resort still has so much potential and i hope they would work on some of the issues to ensure it gets back to its former glory. The location is amazing and is really beautiful. I have been very critical of this resort because i actually do care and would love to go back and see changes.

    Great location and resort. We had an amazing time, however the resort could do more to help assist with basic lighting and a gas stove for load shedding. Other then having no electricity, the stay was good.

  • 5/5 Anell F. 1 year ago on Google
    I'm not a fan of resorts, but this resort changed my mind. It's beautiful, has more than enough to keep adults and children of all ages happy and busy, if they wish. The boat cruise is a must! Chalets are comfortable and kept clean. My tyre burst following the travel on gravel road, so would recommend not traveling with low profiles on gravel road, but it is accessible by sedan.

  • 4/5 Cathy D. 1 year ago on Google
    If your looking for serenity and beauty, this is the place. Staff are lovely and helpful. I cant fault the place, they could have a few more activities.....and definately more Quad bikes, but we were thrilled with the tours Reese gave us. He really is knowledgeable and a nice guy.

  • 1/5 Pieter K. 1 year ago on Google
    Qwantani is an hour from the closest town. With the current loadshedding schedule the power is off 5 hours plus per day. Yet their restaurant, bar and shop (in the main building which has power) has limited operating hours. There is literally nowhere to sit down and just have a coffee or cool drink. They would probably do better setting up vending machines so at least guests can help themselves. I will definitely not return to this resort ever again.

  • 4/5 Alwyn Joubert (. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice resort. Great place for a family. Kids young and old. Had an awesome time this weekend. 20k dirt road to the resort. Good condition; much better than the previous clay/tar/potholes road. Drove it at night and by day, no hassles. Recommended.

  • 5/5 Werner Fraser-Vorstman (. 1 year ago on Google
    Very Quiet place. Units are spaced out far enough that you have privacy from your neighbours. Views are spectacular with most of the resort having direct sight of the dam. The cleaning staff is very friendly and does their job very well. Restaurant was a bit busy the one night, but that was because of loadshedding (there is a generator for the main building). on a previous trip, we even took our 4 legged children with. Would recommend any time

  • 4/5 Ishara G. 1 month ago on Google β€’ 1 review New
    Qwantani resort is a beautiful and tranquil escape😍. The highlight of the holiday was the amazing views and the barge cruise with the wonderful young skipper who made us feel right at home! He was awesome❀️. The quiet serene environment was just what people need for a "reset holiday". The amenities were plenty and very well received. Staff are extremely friendly and always willing to assist. The only suggestions would be to upskill the chefs at the Marshall eagle restaurant as the dinner we had on our first night was not pleasant at all- the breakfast we had the following morning was much better. Housekeeping also needs to be a little more thorough. Overall a good stay

    I have to this beautiful resort on more that 3 occasions. Always have enjoyed my time there. However this past weekend's stay was very unpleasant. Your guests pay a lot to stay here. Only to face the nastiness of stage 6 loadshedding. The was only 2 candles provided in the unit. Surely being such a popular resort the owners should have considered alternative power solutions. Disappointed 😞
