Riverside Guest Lodge offers panoramic views of Grobbelaars River and Swartberg Mountains. It offers air-conditioned rooms and wooden cottages. There is a main deck with a splash pool, a bar, and a barbecue.

This property is superb in all regards. The hosts, Elza and Albert, are gracious, welcoming, and ever so helpful. We just returned from almost 3 weeks in South Africa, staying in a number of guest houses. Riverside was our most enjoyable stay. We regretted not having booked a longer stay at this wonderful establishment. The attention to detail in all matters of the accommodation are quite remarkable, really. This is a must stay when in the Outdshoorn/George area. The breakfast room and fare were very upscale without feeling stuffy. Food was delicious!

Located 20 km from Oudtshoorn, Zwartberg View Mountain Lodge is nestled amongst mountains and the famous red hills. This tranquil retreat offers walking and hiking trails.

For guest at the lodge, The Zwartberg View Mountain Lodge serves a full English breakfast.

Stop looking further and book the Zwartberg Mountain View Lodge, it is magnificent! We stayed for two nights with our four children (9-14 yrs) and absolutely loved the lodge, the view, the animals on the grounds, the pool, the braai dinners and the walking trail. Varley and Hannalize are fantastic and helpful hosts and we very much enjoyed talking to them about life in SA as well as the many great sites in the area. We could easily have stayed another night or two. A highlight on our trip. Easy accessible with any car. Hope that we will visit again one day!

    Our two days are Klein Karoo Game Lodge were absolutely fantastic. The service was excellent. We loved the location and the free-roaming animals. The spacious and modern mountain-view rooms were a pleasant surprise. The highlight for our family was the animals!

    Beautifully quiet and peaceful location with springbok and meerkats regularly coming by to say hello! Despite the very rural location, some way down a gravel track from the owners house, it felt very secure. We ate at Bella Cibo, which was excellent and at Nostalgia which had excellent service and lovely South African dishes. Both were extremely busy and reservations are definitely advisable.  We also loved eating dinner and breakfast at Buffelsdrift Game Lodge, overlooking the water hole, where we saw both hippo and giraffe!

    A mountain retreat which feels like 5 star treatment. The owners looked after us personally and made sure we did not want for anything.we viewed the wild animal feeding from the terrace with drinks whilst warmed by the log fire. Dinner and breakfast was delicious again with great service . The rooms were a short stroll away under a clear starlit sky which was awesome The room was like your personal safari lodge with a super mountain view and sightings of the wildlife including a giraffe.

    The lodge is nicely located, close to Oudtshoorn but it still feels like in the middle of nature. The staff members were very kind and helpful. We stayed in a charming bungalow next to a little pond, it was a different kind of lodging experience which was nice. We enjoyed the food at the restaurant and breakfast was good, too. It‘s nice to go for a walk around the hotel to see the different animals.

    Breakfast was superb, array of choice from bacon and eggs to fresh pastry’s and yogurt with fruit and cold meats and cheese. Staff were welcoming and friendly - special mention to Xavier who stood out! The lodge itself was superb! Can’t beat waking up in nature with the birds singing and hippos communicating! View from our tent was tops and special mention to Juan our guide on the bush safari - what a great experience and Tiaan our guide on the Meerkat experience. We really felt treated and relaxed 😎 didn’t want to leave!
