Calm and peace. This was easily one of the nicest places we have ever stayed. We enjoyed the nature and the camp-style accommodation was a great alternative to always staying in a guesthouse or chalet. We chose Montrose because it is pet-friendly and we will definitely come back - this time for longer!

Kalmte en vrede. Dit was lag-lag 1 vd lekkerste plekke waar ons ooit gebly het. Ons het die natuur geniet en die kamp-styl akkomodasie was 'n heerlike alternatief as om altyd in 'n gastehuis of chalet te bly. Ons het uit en uit Montrose gekies omdat dit troeteldier-vriendelik is en ons sal definitief weer kom kuier - die keer vir langer!

Refreshing. The lodge provided the much-needed rest away from the polluted city air, and a break from the visit to the Sudwala Caves was the highlight of the trip.

Hospitality and helpfulness were good, overall stay was poor. Definitely not a nice stay, they advertise 'luxury tents' but that's definitely not what it is. In English they call it 'dilapidated' and that's what it was. It's not even primitive, the doors couldn't close properly (loose poles that should hold). Tents are made of shade net and bitterly cold, raw cement floors with no carpets. Not even a little milk in the fridge for coffee/tea. No - 'luxury tents' are definitely far beyond the truth. The table outside with benches broke when we sat on it, rotten and old. Hostess was very helpful and we can't complain about that.

Gasvryheid en behulpsaamheid was goed, algehele verblyf was swak. Beslis nie lekker gebly, hulle adverteer 'luukse tente' maar dit is beslis nie wat dit is nie. In Engels noem hulle dit 'dilapidated' en dit is wat dit was. Dit is nie eens primitief nie, die deure kon nie behoorlik toemaak nie (los pale wat moet vashou). Tente is van skadunet en bitter koud, rou sementvloere met geen matte. Nie eens 'n bietjie melk in die yskas vir koffie/tee. Nee - 'luxury tents' is beslis ver bo die waarheid. Die tafel buite met bankies het gebroke toe ons daarop gaan sit, vrot en oud. Gasvrou was baie behulpsaam en daaroor kan ons nie kla nie.

Good value for money. It was a wonderful stopover for me on my road trip to explore the Blyde River Canyon. I took a 2.5-hour walk through the gardens and it is a wonderful space for any option of accommodation. There are so many little spots in the garden to explore and rocks to climb. There are some places in the gardens that I believe should be better maintained and tidied up. Petru was a wonderful host and made me feel very welcome. And her adorable dog was the icing on the cake.
