Lovely. It was absolutely amazing. Even when we were getting lost, they helped us find the place. What you see when booking is exactly what we got. Lovely.

A wonderfully relaxing stay in a cosy Mountain Lodge. Our stay at the Rockwood Mountain Lodge was absolutely magical! It was an exciting drive up the 4x4 track to the house. Thanks Jabu for making sure we got up there safely! Our bike rack took a bit of a beating but nothing that can't be fixed. There are a few hikes, our favourite being the waterfall hike (Godwini Falls walk) from the Forest Lodge. Beautiful scenery! Loved the river crossings and bridges. We also accidentally found ourselves hiking the Escarpment Trail hike on our way back down from the waterfall hike. It is not for the faint-hearted, and most definitely for the fit and adventurous. If you want to face your fear of heights, do attempt this one. We were pulling ourselves up the mountain by ropes at one stage and got a bit lost when the trail disappeared, but luckily a phone call to Sue, the Lodge manager, and we were on our way to the top of the escarpment and found our way back on the mountain biking trails. 4 hours and 50 minutes later (12 kms). What an adventure for sure! We ran out of water on our first part of the hike, but luckily we could drink from the streams in the forest, so all was good. My boys are 11 and 13 and managed the hike, but would not recommend it for small children or unfit persons. The mountain biking was a bit difficult on the mountain lodge side as there are quite a few nasty hills. Lovely forest trails but beware the massive spider webs. We canoed on the dam (the bigger dam near the Forest Lodge). It was lovely. Also did a bit of fishing at the dam. The Mountain Lodge is really cosy and peaceful. Loved waking up to birds chirping in the mornings. The Green Egg was also a treat to braai in! We had no cellphone signal at the house. But there were the occasional spots where you could get network. The kitchen was well-equipped and we didn't feel like we were missing anything.

Circles in the woods. The Mountain Lodge is highly recommended, but note that you can only get there by 4x4. After all, it is worth it because once you reach your final destination you are surrounded by trees on a hilly terrain. Hiking and biking trails are accessible right from your front door, making it the perfect place for the adventurous. There is also a beautiful waterfall and pond that can be reached by foot. Also, just be prepared for 4 seasons in one day - after all, you find yourself in the forest! The unit is very well equipped and the manager(s) are always there to help with whatever you may need. Cell phone signal and internet is limited, but it gives you a proper break from the busy city. Highly recommended and will definitely be returning to finish our rounds in the woods.

Kringe in die bos. Die Mountain Lodge word hoogs aanbeveel, maar let daarop dat mens slegs met 4x4 daar kan uitkom. Dit is immers die moeite werd, want sodra jy by jou finale bestemming uitkom word jy omring deur bome op 'n heuwelagtige terrein. Voetslaan en fietsroetes is toeganklik reg vanaf jou voordeur en dus is dit die perfekte plek vir die avontuurlustiges. Daar is ook pragtige waterval en dam wat per voet bereik word. Wees ook net bereid vir 4 seisoene in een dag - jy bevind jouself immers in die woud! Die eenheid is baie goed toegerus en die bestuurder(s) is altyd daar om te help met wat ook al jy sal nodig hê. Selfoon sein en internet is beperk, maar dit gee jou 'n behoorlike wegbreek van die besige stad af. Hoogs voorgestel en sal immers terugkeur om ons kringe in die bos klaar te maak.

Away from the hustle and bustle, amazing scenery. Very nice to get away from the city. Must have a 4x4 to visit the mountain lodge and to move around.

Weg van die gejaag, wonderlike natuurskoon. Baie mooi om weg te kom van die stad. Moet 'n 4x4 hê om die mountain lodge te besoek en om rond te kan beweeg.

It was absolutely fantastic! We stayed in Rockwood Mountain Lodge. It is located high on the mountain in the forests. It can only be reached with a 4x4. So if you are looking for a place where you can be alone and quiet, then I would like to recommend it. My family and I are bird watchers and spent hours identifying the birds in the forests. Also enjoy the walking paths. Just take your own lights, the solar power is only a little bit, but otherwise everything is there. I will stay here again.

Dit was absoluut fantasties! Ons het in Rockwood Mountain Lodge gebly. Dit is hoog teen die berg in die woude geleë. Dit kan net met 'n 4x4 bereik word. So as jy 'n plek soek waar jy alleen en rustig kan wees, dan beveel ek dit graag aan. Ek en my gesin is voëlkykers en het ure spandeer om die voëls in die woude te identifiseer. Ook die wandelpaatjies geniet. Vat maar jou eie ligte saam, die sonkrag is maar effentjies, maar verder is alles daar. Ek sal weer hier gaan bly.

Enjoyed staying there overnight. Now this really is a house in the woods. 8 km from the nearest people. No cell phone reception. We were impressed with the beautiful log house - spotlessly clean with everything you need.

Het dit geniet om daar te oornag. Hierdie is nou regtig 'n huis in die bos. 8 km van die naaste mense af. Geen selfoonopvangs. Ons was beïndruk met die pragtige houthuis - silwerskoon met alles wat jy nodig het.

So picturesque - thanks so much for the complimentary wine, biscuits and milk! We had a great time, the house is very well appointed ─ maybe guests should be informed of the fact that the accommodation is quite a distance from the farmhouse.

Sprokieswêreld - baie dankie vir komplimentêre wyn, koekies en melk! Baie lekker gekuier, die huis is baie goed ingerig - gaste moet dalk net ingegelig word dat hulle verblyf nog 'n redelike entjie van die plaashuis is.
