Absolutely breathtaking. Perfect place to get away from everything with famous trails right on your doorstep. Gives you direct access without having to camp and give up a shower and comfy bed. The lodge is perfect for daily meals with friendly staff.

Friendly and accommodating. A warm welcome, a fire in the restaurant and friendly, accommodating staff. The breakfast was outstanding and plentiful, and the evening meals were excellent value for money. My room was basic, but I had everything I needed, and I had a stunning view of Sentinel Peak. Would highly recommend a stay here.

Comfortable and affordable. The staff were very friendly and very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The room was clean, neat and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and definitely a wide variety to suit everyone's tastes and preferences. The best place to stay if you want to hike the Sentinel. I will just list some additional information regarding the road to the Sentinel (4x4 only), the availability of a shuttle service, the hiking fees and the correct park fees so that guests can make a more informed decision. Wonderful experience.

Gerieflik en bekostigbaar. Die personeel was baie vriendelik en baie behulpsaam. Niks was vir hulle te veel. Die kamer was skoon, netjies en gerieflik. Die ontbyt was heerlik en definitief 'n groot verskeidenheid wat elkeen se smake en voorkeure sal pas. Die beste plek om te oornag as jy die Sentinel wil stap. Ek sal net meer addisionele inligting rakende die pad na die Sentinel (slegs 4x4), die beskikbaarheid van 'n shuttle service, die stapfooie en die korrekte parkfooie lys sodat die gaste 'n meer ingeligte besluit kan neem. Wonderlike ervaring.

Beautiful views, stunning walks, warm and friendly staff. Magical. Witsieshoek is a magical place with incredible views and access to some of the best mountain hiking in SA. The staff are professional and so warm, and the restaurant provides very good fare at reasonable prices. This is truly a place to return to. The prices for both the backpackers and private rooms are steep - but what you pay for is access to some of our country's greatest, most beautiful nature.

Great base for hikes, spectacular views. The location is breathtaking, the room is very comfortable, with great views. Super helpful staff and nice food. Definitely worth it. Rustic, close to nature, easy access to hiking trails, and if it rains, a comfy couch by the fireplace to chat or read.

Exceptional surroundings, accommodation and staff. We slept wonderfully snugly amidst the fog and rain. The restaurant was cozy, the food excellent and the service pleasantly friendly. We were positively surprised with the included buffet breakfast.

Uitsonderlike omgewing, verblyf en personeel. Ons het heerlik snoesig geslaap midde mis en reën. Die restaurant was gesellig, die kos voortreflik en die diens aangenaam vriendelik. Ons was positief verras met die ingeslote buffet ontbyt.

Great location. I would prefer a place with a view. Very nice. The restaurant was unable to get the evening meal out in an acceptable time. We waited over an hour for our food. Also the food packs were without eggs one day and the next day (to make up for the eggs) no water.

Fantastiese ligging. Ek sal verkies om 'n plek met 'n uitsig te hê. Baie lekker. Die restaurant was nie in staat om die aand ete uit te kry in aanvaardbare tyd nie. Ons het meer as 'n uur vir ons kos gewag. Ook die food packs was die een dag sonder eiers en die volgende dag (om op te maak vir die eiers) geen water.
