Very happy with our stay at De Ark. Very happy with our Easter weekend stay at De Ark. We stayed in the standard single storey unit, to which an additional single bed was added. Staff are super friendly, the unit was spacious and very clean, the fireplace worked amazingly well, the beds and linen are very soft and comfortable, the showers are huge and the water is nice and hot, breakfast was good, amazing views of the mountains, plenty of wildlife. You have to travel on a fairly rough 4.5 km gravel road to get to the lodge, so come prepared, vehicle-wise. The hiking trail was beautiful but could do with more directional signage; I got lost a few times. An outdoor play area for young kids would have been great. Faster internet connectivity would have been great. All in all, happy with our stay. I would recommend it!

Silence and picturesque views. Wonderful weekend with my family in the mountains. The views were fantastic and the zebras, blesbok were grazing in front of the house and the silence was wonderful. Room.

Stilte en prentjie mooi uitsigte. Heerlike naweek saam met my gesin in die berge. Die uitsigte was fantasties en die zebras, blesbokke het voor die huisie gewei en die stilte was wonderlik. Kamer.

Ontspanne, asemrowende uitsigte. Ons het ons naweek baie geniet. Silas het ons vriendelik ontvang en was toeganklik.

Fantastic stay, awesome views, good value for money, friendly staff. What a nice venue, surrounded by awesome views of the mountains, wild game such as zebra, black wildebeest and blesbuck. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The chalet was clean and tidy. The staff was very friendly. We will for sure visit again, this time with our kids where we could enjoy mountain biking as a family.

Very quiet lodge with no noise. We had a very nice stay, outstanding view over Clarens.

Baie stil lodge met geen geraas nie. Ons het baie lekker gebly, uitstaande uitsig oor Clarens.

The view is food for your soul. Very nice stay. The wildlife is tame and the caretaker knows his story. Will 100% rest there again.

Die uitsig is kos vir jou siel. Baie lekker gebly. Die wild is mak en die opsigter ken sy storie. Sal 100% weer daar gaan rus.

The place is peaceful, clean and romantic, especially for couples. I really enjoyed my stay at your resort. The location and the tranquility were out of this world, but will you please improve the road leading to the resort? Further than that, I am willing to come back again. Thanks for hosting us.

Peaceful place to stay and switch off from the craziness we find in our world. Peace and quiet, where the most noise comes from the game on site. Plenty of Blesbok, Wildebeest, rabbits and Zebras to be seen, and with baby season upon us, lots of young ones to be seen sticking closely to their mother's side. Scenery for days over the valley. Room is spacious, bed's comfortable, and there are chairs and a bench outside to take it all in, a real treat too!
