Adventurous, calm and relaxed. It was calm and relaxing. Just no signal. WiFi was R400 to connect to satellite; it was not discussed on booking. A set of rules shows that WiFi is available. Wood made a great fire and the braai was nice. Semane Lodge is a great place to stay for rest and adventure. It was nice to drive on the gravel road and to wander around the beautiful nature.

Very nice. Incredibly nice stay, centrally located if you want to drive around.

Baie lekker. Ongelooflik lekker gebly, sentraal geleë as jy wil rondry.

Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, we have a private satellite for the WiFi. It is very expensive and is not included in the basic daily rate as most guests don't request it. We are constantly working on the quality and did a major upgrade in November, but we are sorry that it is still unstable.

Beautiful, pristine but not value for money. Slightly neglected and half-information. Beautiful and untouched. Absolutely between nothing and nowhere and you experience nature! But, no signal for 10 km. Only Wi-Fi that you have to pay for at R400 cash (and you do, because no one can afford any way to be contacted for the duration of your stay). No warning in advance about this or about the cost and the amount is the same regardless of how long you stay. No decent reception when you arrive. Only a worker who makes you sign in a book and handles the Wi-Fi. No information sheets or any contact from or by the owners. We also had a power outage and because Wi-Fi was down, we were stranded. Mercifully it was on the morning we left. Furthermore, the accommodation is basic with furniture and bedding that does not fit, old and stained and broken. At R3300 per night for our family of 6 I felt it was not value for money. The grounds are a bit neglected and there are only 2 tubes with which you can swim in the river. The kitchen was well equipped and the showers comfortable and everything was very clean. For pristine, getting away from the hustle and bustle and connection and time in nature this is definitely the ideal place. Better advance information and involvement or availability by the owner would be appreciated.

Pragtig, ongerep maar nie waarde vir geld nie. Effe verwaarloos en halwe inligting. Pragtig en ongerep. Absoluut tussen niks en nêrens en jy ervaar die natuur! Maar, geen sein vir 10 km nie. Slegs Wi-Fi wat jy teen R400 kontant moet betaal (en mens doen maar, want niemand kan vir die duur van jou verblyf geen manier om gekontak te kan word meer bekostig nie). Geen waarskuwing vooraf hieroor of oor die koste nie en die bedrag is dieselfde ongeag hoe lank jy bly. Geen ordentlike ontvangs wanneer jy arriveer nie. Slegs 'n werker wat jou laat teken in 'n boek en die Wi-Fi hanteer. Geen inligtingsblaaie of enige kontak van of deur die eienaars nie. Ons het kragonderbreking ook gehad en omdat Wi-Fi af was, was ons gestrand. Genadiglik was dit op die oggend wat ons vertrek het. Verder is die verblyf basies met meubels en beddegoed wat nie pas nie, oud en gevlek is en stukkend. Teen R3300 per nag vir ons gesin van 6 het ek gevoel dit was nie waarde vir geld nie. Die terrein is effe verwaarloos en daar is slegs 2 tubes waarmee jy in die rivier kan swem. Die kombuis was goed toegerus en die storte gerieflik en alles was mooi skoon. Vir ongerepte, wegkom van gejaag en konneksie en tyd in die natuur is dit beslis die ideale plek. Beter vooraf inligting en betrokkenheid of beskikbaarheid deur die eienaar sal waardeer word.

Very nice place, lovely swimming hole, nice visit. Two negative points to note: 1. The bad dirt road. 2. R300 for a wifi code and it was also an unstable connection. Other places give free wifi.

Baie mooi plek, heerlike swemkuil, lekker kuier. Twee negatiewe punte om van kennis te neem: 1. Die slegte grondpad. 2. R300 vir 'n wifi kode en dit was ook 'n onstabiele konneksie. Ander plekke gee gratis wifi.

Thank you for the review. Sadly the road you drove on is part of rural life in S.A. The Municipality had done a road scrape a few weeks ago but it rained heavily. So basically it's out of our control. With regard to the Wi-Fi, we have installed a satellite and are unable to provide free services as our base rates are very competitive. Thank you so much for your support.

Dankie vir die resensie. Ongelukkig is die pad waarop jy gery het deel van die plattelandse lewe in S.A. Die Munisipaliteit het 'n paar weke gelede 'n padskraap gedoen, maar dit het swaar gereën. So basies is dit buite ons beheer. Met betrekking tot die Wi-Fi, ons het 'n satelliet geïnstalleer en is nie in staat om gratis dienste te verskaf nie, aangesien ons basistariewe baie mededingend is. Baie dankie vir jou ondersteuning.

Was nice, but there is no walking trail along the river, very rocky. Recommend a bench and umbrella at swimming hole. A walking trail about 1 km up the river would be really fun.

Was lekker, maar daar's geen staproete langs die rivier, baie klipperig. Beveel aan 'n bankie en sambreel by swemgat. 'n Staproete so 1 km op met rivier sal regtig lekke wees.

Little piece of heaven. Precious people running the lodge with an even more precious owner. Covid sanitizing done properly after guests leave, the cleaning fee is worth paying for your peace of mind. Stayed a week and will forever go back. Quiet, pet friendly at a fee, which is minimal. The rock pool is divine to cool off in after a hike or jog.

Just 1 word - great. Semane Lodge is a hidden gem.

Net 1 woord - wonderlik. Semane Lodge is 'n weggesteekte juweel.

Peaceful, beautiful, amazing landscapes. I loved the situation and the beautiful pools on the river. We were lucky to have the whole place to ourselves.

Soul care deluxe! Semane Lodge is everything a laid-back city person could wish for. No contact with the outside world, lovely scenery, countless stars nearby and very safe. locks and keys are a redundant invention.

Sielsorg deluxe! Semane Lodge is alles waarna 'n uitgekuierde stadsmens verlang. Geen kontak met die buitewêreld, lieflike natuurskoon, sterre ontelbaar naby en baie veilig. slotte en sleutels is 'n oorbodige uitvindsel.
