TravelGround User Reviews:“Mostly great, a bit pricey”
We had a wonderful honeymoon at Forest Creek Lodge and Spa. The food was very good and the accommodation excellent. We felt some of the extras like R150 for a bush lunch consisting only of sandwiches, chips, fruit and water... not even a drink... was a bit pricey. However we were very spoiled by the staff and they went out of their way to make us comfortable. The location is quite remote and we felt a bit cut off without any cell phone reception - but that's part of why this location would be perfect for nature lovers. Many of the things we thought would be free, we had to pay for, like dinner in the gazebo and the outdoor bath. But all in all it was a great experience and many good memories were made.

“Excellent location, peaceful and tranquil - with excellent service and friendly staff”
The lodge is 4km up the mountain, vehicle with ground clearance is a must. The place is small and intimate, our room was excellent, service exceptional and the staff very pleasant. Food great. Hikes are easy and pleasant, dam was excellent for trout flyfishing (caught plenty) on a catch and release basis. The views are fantastic. Will highly recommend this lodge and will not hesitate to visit again. An ideal place for couples, not a place for families with small kids - in my opinion kids will be bored. Quite pricey but rated 4 star - but what you pay for is what you get.

Dear Anita
We would like to thank you for a stunning 3 nights at your beautiful lodge. We visited 2 other places while on honeymoon and nothing could compare with those first 3 nights at Forrest Creek. Keep up the good work and we are promoting your romantic venue everywhere we go! Kindest Regards Yvette Cronje Lodge and Events Manager NGOMO SAFARI LODGE Yvette Cronje - September 2010
I would like to thank you for the wonderful service, and personalized attention Mr & Mrs Porter received from the staff at the lodge. Mr Porter mentioned he would have loved to have spent more time (at least ‘a couple of days’). They felt so welcome and special. Mrs Porter said ‘it’s the Garden of Eden’. So well done, and for international guests to comment so highly of an establishment in South Africa, makes me truly ‘Proud to be a South African’. Offering my assistance to Australian’s wanting to visit S.A., I will, with confidence, be sending them to Forrest Creek Lodge, Thank You!

I have literally stayed in either a B&B or hotel every week of this year and half of last year. (I was also General Manager of a four star game lodge.) I am mentioning all of this because last night was my best experience in any of the places where I've stayed. Just from the moment I drove through the gate to this morning when I unfortunately had to leave, everything was just so special!
Thank you again to you and your staff, my dream is to come back :) I have already spread the word and you can expect some of my friends booking in soon.... Erika Vermark - August 2009

We all some or another time get a query about a “Romantic getaway” and I thought I should just share with you that I had the opportunity to visit what I believe one of the most romantic spots over the weekend. The service is excellent, nothing is too much trouble and Anita, the owner is willing to do anything to help make your getaway special and really goes out of her way!! Excellent service is what we all look for when referring clients!! Belinda von Elling - Rennies Travel - February 2008 |
