    Mountain View Lodge has received a rating of 4 stars for cleanliness, but unfortunately, their front of house staff and communication did not meet expectations, receiving a rating of 0 stars. Despite confirming twice over the phone, one of the two rooms booked was not reserved upon arrival. Though the staff made another room available, it was an unfortunate situation for someone else. During check-in, the receptionist inquired about the preferred breakfast time, to which we requested it to be ready by 7 am as we had to be at the school for a rugby match at 7:45 am. However, when we arrived at the dining area, we found it unstaffed, and a lady informed us that breakfast was not ready yet, and she would begin preparing it soon, but we could not wait as the game was about to start. As a result, they missed breakfast, and it seemed as though the staff was shifting the blame to their colleague who was not on duty, reflecting a "could not care" mentality at the lodge despite its pleasant ambiance.

    What a pleasant surprise. This establishment is well run. The efficiency is seen and felt from the moment you arrive. Rooms spotless and comfortable. The on site resturant is very good. Good menu and food well prepared and presented.

    My overall experience was honestly horrible. The room had a double bed (for 2 adults). The bed was hard as a rock, both mornings, both me and my husband had neck and backaches. We thought the food would make us feel better and wow,we were sadly mistaken. The service provided to us was absolutely appalling. The food was cold and we were told that the bacon is finished and we weren't offered any alternative. I would never go back there , I would rather try a cottage in wakkerstroom

    We didn't stay at the lodge but needed a place to watch the RWC match - NZL vs ARG so decided to take a chance and watch the game at Mountain View. Wow, what a pleasant surprise! Excellent well-maintained grounds, neat as a pin and beautiful gardens, signage great, staff friendly and helpful despite us arriving at 9pm. They were so accommodating and advised that the kitchen was closing at 9pm but would accommodate an order from us. Don't know what the rooms look like but judging by the rest of the lodge, must be equally beautiful. A gem of a place and highly recommend.👌🏻

    Unfortunately due to water and power interruption (beyond Mountain View Lodge control) my experience was not positive. Suggest installing back-up power and water system. Would have been nice if facility made available water to at least flush toilets during interruption. All the best.

    The place is nice from outside. Rooms have a bush African theme. The rooms are neat and spacious with lovely en-suite. The problem is the manager. The guy is very cold and have an attitude towards the guests. He doesn't greet and just hands you the keys without explaining about the place. The lady that i spoke to over the phone was lovely and welcoming. Upon checking in, this guy cold guy is helping us and you just feel like requesting a refund and go to another place. To top things off, he did not explain the hours for loadshedding or the fact that they didn't have water. I had been on the road the whole day and I needes to freshen up only to find that there's no water. When I enquired he just set there, not bothered and just said, "its a municipal problem". I asked them for their backup plan and they had none. They did not phone the munipality to bring water for them, no plan whatsoever. I was really upset. They later brought boiling water and asked me to wait until it cools off, then i can bath. Even later, the poor bartender came and gave us an explanation. The place is nice but the service is not good at all. In the morning, the lady in the day shift explained that the guy is just cold and apologized on his behalf. I don't think that's right when you're running a tourism business.

    Clean and comfortable rooms. Very good Restaurant on site. Some noise due to the N11. Beautiful gardens.

    It was very cold but there were heating and electric blankets available. The restaurant is lovely with plenty of choice for breakfast. Good service. The water pressure is all over the place though, so showering is a bit tricky but the water is hot.

    The Supper was awful, the Rips I ordered was not properly cooked. The toilet had stains. The bed had clean white linen on top with an old creamy inner blanket. Yes they were smelling fresh and clean. The rest was OK.
