Perfek, daar kan jy rus en afsluit, ontspan met 'n glasie wyn voor 'n warm kaggel.

Perfect, there you can rest and wind down, relax with a glass of wine in front of a warm fireplace.
Most delicious! They have thought of everything you could possibly need! Sidney was ready 24/7 to help with anything. Beautiful place, will definitely go again!

Here you relax like you have never relaxed before!
After a very long day from Witsand and then taking the wrong turn in Philipolis (don't drive that way) we arrived at Eco Karoo Mountain Lodge. Sydney was incredibly helpful, showing us around the unit, the common areas and explaining everything. He even took our bags to the room and cleaned them nicely of all the dust. Incredibly good time. Air conditioners are something they should think about. We got very hot in the rooms all night.

Goeie dag Louis
Baie dankie vir die pragtige woorde! Ons is jammer julle het so effens verdwaal.
Ons is so bly julle het lekker gekuier by Eco Karoo Lodge en ons hoop om julle gou weer te sien!
Ons is op 100% sonkrag by die Lodge en lugreelings gaan ongelukkig die batterye beskadig, gelukkig is daar 'n swembad om in af te koel!

Kuier was goed.

Visit was good.
The dirt road was in a bad condition, especially where car gates' cement pieces fall out and also where pipes partly stick out from under the road and also have holes in them. Repair please where necessary. In the dark, people can crash or get stuck with a regular vehicle. However, with a 4x4 you won't have any problems.

Goeie dag Samuel
Ek vertrou dit gaan goed.
Baie dankie vir u resensie, ons vra omverskoning vir die grondpad, na die heuwige donderbuie die laaste ruk het die pad verspoel.
Ons kan egter gesels met die boere gemeenskap om die paaie te herstel, ons het ongelukkig nie self die toerusting nie.
Ons hoop om u gou weer by die Lodge te sien.
Vriendelike groete

Fantastic "lodge" with exceptional decor!
What a gem! The "lodge" is exceptional - the building style forms part of nature and so much attention has been paid to detail. The linen and beds are very good quality and the kitchen is well equipped. All the rooms are very spacious and comfortable. The lanterns in the evening were very special. Alfred, the personal "butler" lit the fire and washed the dishes (pure pampering). Highly recommended!

Difficult road to Lodge, share common braai area and kitchen.
Eco Karoo Lodge is a picturesque place near the small town of Luckhoff. I wouldn't recommend just you and your husband or wife go here, but a group of people, because you have to share a braai area and kitchen with the other guests. You can get lucky and find nice people to stay with you, but unfortunately we had other guests that we had a very bad experience with. It unfortunately spoils one's holiday. We didn't enjoy it and it's very expensive, especially since you don't have privacy. I would recommend that each cottage gets its own small kitchen and private braai area to avoid these situations. The water from the shower also runs into your room and then the whole floor is wet. Overall our experience was not good.

Dankie vir die resensie Sumarie. Ons vra om verskoning omdat julle ervaring so sleg was. Die Lodge is ideaal vir groepsbesprekings. Ons kan ongelukkig nie 100% beheer wie oor 'n naweek of deur die week by die Lodge bly nie, omrede baie besprekings ook aanlyn gemaak word. Ons maak 'n punt daarvan om vir alle gaste in te lig van die gemeenskaplike kombuis en leefarea, sodat daar geen verrassings is nie, sowel as die binne stort.
Ons hoop regtig julle sal dit weer oorweeg om by Eco Karoo Lodge te bly en dit sal veel beter wees as julle 'n paar vriende kan saam nooi.

Wonderful experience. Lovely place and the location amazing.
The lodge's location is so well chosen. Lovely view from all the rooms. We really enjoyed the feeling of living outside and the lapa was a touching experience under the starry sky. Early in the morning you can enter the field and go for a lovely walk. The silence (only interrupted by the lowing of cattle) is a relief for the soul. The cattle everywhere in the field have a charm of their own. The description of the rooms with each room having its own bathroom is misleading. Each room does not have its own bathroom, two rooms in each cottage share a bathroom. In addition, the one room only has a gabion that separates it from the bathroom which does not ensure sufficient privacy. The reception was out of the books, our host was so friendly and helpful.

Dankie vir jou resensie oor jou ervaring by Eco Karoo, Magriet. Dis so lekker om te hoor as ons gaste die skoonheid van die Karoo en die plaaslewe ten volle beleef en waardeer! Eco Karoo sal toekomstige gaste inlig dat die privaatheid van die badkamers nie ideaal is vir pare ("couples") wat belangstel om 'n huisie te deel nie - moontlik kan pare elkeen hul eie huisie bespreek en dus genoegsame privaatheid geniet.
Kom kuier gou weer! Dit sal lekker wees om julle weer in die toekoms te verwelkom!
Bo-Karoo groete,

What a wonderful hideaway a little over 6 hours drive from Pretoria.
Wow, what a great experience. The silence speaks to you, the stars are breathtaking and the finish and unique layout and design ensure a great experience. I actually want to keep the one a secret and not see other people there but that would be unfair. Grab some pals and book the whole place out. We go. Get ready, you're going to stay longer than you plan!

Jammer om te hoor dat julle gesukkel het om die aanwysings te volg, Dorette. Eco Karoo Lodge stel alle gaste vooraf per e-pos en WhatsApp in kennis dat daar nie selfoonsein is nie. Daarom stuur ons ook duidelike aanwysings per e-pos of WhatsApp aan alle gaste voordat hulle vertrek na Eco Karoo. Ons inboektye is van 14:00 - 19:00 en die feit dat julle na middernag ingeboek het, het moontlik bygedra dat jul die afdraai moeilik gesien het. Gelukkig was al die buiteligte van die Lodge van die grootpad sigbaar.
Dankie vir die voorstel om reflektors aan te bring, ons sal graag daaraan aandag gee vir toekomstige gaste.
Vriendelike groete,
Eco Karoo Lodge
