Ons het ons paar dae by Grootfontein Nature Reserve vreeslik geniet.

We really enjoyed our few days at Grootfontein Nature Reserve.
Aloe is well equipped with everything we needed. All the terrible places to hang out in and around the house are so cozy and there were lovely paths to go for a walk. Friendly and helpful service. The best part was that our dog could enjoy it with us.

Very nice stay, beautiful view and relaxation for the soul.
My wife and I stayed there and it was really nice, friendly people, nice view and just peace. There was always enough wood for braai, the pool by the braai is fantastic to drink a beer and relax! Would recommend that people with a high vehicle drive to the farm, people with low cars will not survive the dirt road. The only quibble is the shower. The paraffin strong works but not nice, a donkey will work much better. But otherwise very nice stay and will definitely visit them again!

Dear Paul, we are so glad you had a great getaway together. We loved your memories captured in the video you made. I think you both need to stay at Mokwepa next time, a night on the house is in order if you contact me. I'll make sure you have a lovely weekend away in the mountains. Kindest regards to you both, Perri and Jan from Grootfontein.

Picturesque mountain country. Real forest getaway.
Sleeping accommodation is comfortable yet open enough to experience nature. Kitchen facilities were adequate with gas cooker-freezer. People are very friendly and helpful.

Being a nature reserve we had to do a lot of work to deal with the enormous amounts of rain we experienced in January and February and still keep our roads open, but open they were as well as safe, just too much rain. Really sorry about that!

Rustig en ontspannend.

Peaceful and relaxing.
The setting of Aloe Lodge is brilliant for a camping experience. However, it needs some attention/maintenance. It is also very unfortunate that the 2 other lodges are so close to each other, our woodland tranquility was severely disturbed all weekend by people in Giant Rock who played loud music and were very noisy.

Hi Michelle
I'm so sorry about the music! It's very unusual considering we don't have electricity! I guess some people will always find a way around it.

Unforgettably beautiful and peaceful.
What a wonderful place to rest your soul! The layout of the Aloe Lodge is beautiful and the view from every room is an experience. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Just a suggestion: the lights in the rooms don't work and the parasol was broken. Other than that, no complaints. I will go back again and again. Thanks Kerry and team.

Will not go back again.
No wildlife seen as advertised. Booked for 2 nights, only stayed one. Wind was so strong, blowing flaps in room makes you unable to sleep. Can't fix it either. Photos do not create a good impression either. No river like in pictures. Was received by woman who can barely speak English. Patrick was very pleasant. Washing was difficult without power and hot water.
