Ons het nie eers die kar uitgepak nie. Gaan kyk en weer gery. Vervalle!

Netjies en skoon.

Binne 'n mooi area en goeie ligging. Kamers is skoon en netjies ingerig en voldoen aan die basiese vereistes vir 'n oornag terwyl ons op reis is. Ons was 3 gesinne wat oornag het - daar is nie baie om op die perseel te doen nie. Mag nie enige drank bring nie, maar die 'Kroeg' was baie teleurstellend en het slegs 1 skaars bier en wyn gehad. Daar was bouers op die perseel wat ook oornag het en tot laat in die aand geraas het. Dit het veroorsaak dat ons kamer die volgende oggend sonder warm water was, wat 'n groot probleem was vir ons gesin met kinders. Die etes is 'n vaste menu en ons kon nie self kies nie, dus het sekere mense nie alles geëet nie. Die kamers is netjies en daar is geen fout nie, maar daar is aandag nodig om dit meer aanloklik te maak in die toekoms.

Neat and clean.

Within a nice area and good location. Rooms are clean and neatly furnished and meet the basic requirements for an overnight stay while we are travelling. We were 3 families staying overnight - not much to do on site. Not allowed to bring any booze but the 'Bar' was very disappointing and only had 1 rare beer and wine. There were builders on site who also stayed overnight and made noise late into the evening. This caused our room to be without hot water the next morning, which was a big problem for our family with children. The meals are a fixed menu and we couldn't choose ourselves, so some people didn't eat everything. The rooms are neat and there is no fault, but attention is needed to make it more attractive in the future.

Horrible

The room was dusty, the curtains on the bed were loose and about to fall off, and we had to walk a long distance from where we parked our cars to our rooms. The pool was dirty, it had a sign of entering at your own risk. We only slept for one night and left.

Comfortable and acceptable.

If I can make a few suggestions: The garden needs some attention far from the units. If possible a real small fridge because not everyone likes cremora and prefers fresh milk. The coffee bags work well - but maybe better coffee. A teaspoon will work better than the sticks - but also understand that it gets feet. There was hair in the drain of the sort that had not been removed. The kettle must be placed on the ground to boil. The towels were very nice and soft.

Lieflike omgewing en baie om te sien en doen.

Toe ons arriveer was daar niemand by ontvangs en my man het iemand in die kombuis gaan roep. Ons word toe ingelig dat die rondawel wat ons bespreek het se "geyser" stukkend is, maar hulle het ons "opgradeer" na een van die kamers toe. Ons het wel versoek dat indien hulle dit reg kry, sal ons graag wil oorskuif. Ons is toe in 'n familiekamer met dubbelbed en 2 stapelbeddens, wat deel van die lodge is. Kamer was baie beknop vir die twee van ons, so ek weet regtig nie hoe 'n familie van 4 met baggasie daar gaan inpas nie. Ons was teleurgesteld, ons wou juis weg van die lodge in die rondaweltjie gebly het. Geen toiletrolhouer en ook geen rakkie/kassie in badkamer waar jy jou badkamersakkie kon uitpak nie. Geen yskassie om 'n bottel wyn koud te hou nie. Vir die prys van die kamer behoort sulke basiese goed daar te wees. Ons het laat bespreek, so ons opsies was beperk, die verskil egter in prys vir die basiese rondawel waarvoor ons bespreek het teenoor as ons nou sou gaan is R320,00 per nag! Vir 'n basiese plekke sonder TV/yskas ens. is dit baie! Ek dink hulle "buiteseisoen" pryse is meer in lyn met wat jy kry. Dametjie wat in kombuis werk, het ons weer uitgeboek, sy het genoem dat die bestuurder siek is. Dit is egter 'n lieflike omgewing, en ons het baie buite gesit. Die sonsondergang by die natuurlike swembad is pragtig.

Lovely surroundings and lots to see and do.

When we arrived there was no one at reception and my husband went to call someone in the kitchen. We were then informed that the "geyser" of the rondavel we booked was broken, but they "upgraded" us to one of the rooms. We did request that if they get it right, we would like to move. We were then in a family room with a double bed and 2 bunk beds, which is part of the lodge. Room was very tight for the two of us, so I really don't know how a family of 4 with luggage will fit in there. We were disappointed, we wanted to stay away from the lodge in the rondaweltjie. No toilet roll holder and no shelf/box in the bathroom where you could unpack your bathroom bag. No small fridge to keep a bottle of wine cold. For the price of the room, such basic things should be there. We booked late so our options were limited, however the difference in price for the basic rondavel we booked versus if we were to go now is R320.00 per night! For a basic places without TV/fridge etc. is it a lot! I think their "off season" prices are more in line with what you get. Little lady who works in kitchen checked us out again, she mentioned that the manager is sick. It's a lovely setting though, and we sat outside a lot. The sunset at the natural pool is beautiful.

Nooit koffiekoppies by die teestasie.

Alhoewel dit skoon was in die kamers, was die eetarea glad nie skoon nie.

Never coffee cups at the tea station.

Although it was clean in the rooms, the dining area was not clean at all.

Baie mooi plekkie en warm hut.

Voorsiening was gemaak vir beurtkrag en hut het verwarmers in en baie gemaklike beddens! Karre slaap buite onder 'n afdak, maar nie onveilig gevoel nie. Lieflike kaggel om by te sit en lees en plaasdam om in te swem (was bietjie groen, maar hulle hou dit natuurlik). Ontbyt was heerlik net baie jammer dis nie ingesluit in die bedrag wat ons betaal per aand nie. Geen drinkgoed kom ook saam met die ontbyt nie. Ek stel voor hul maak 'n spyskaart met alles wat ingesluit is en nie ingesluit is nie met die bedrae wat die ekstra goed kos. WiFi tel slegs op in die hoofvertrek. Oor die algemeen het ons baie lekker gebly en uitsig oor die berge is altyd sprokiesmooi! Personeel is baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig!

Very nice place and warm cabin.

Provisions were made for load shedding and cabin has heaters in it and very comfortable beds! Cars sleep outside under a canopy, but don't feel unsafe. Lovely fireplace to sit by and read and farm pond to swim in (was a bit green but they keep it of course). Breakfast was delicious, but it's a shame it's not included in the amount we pay per night. No drinks come with the breakfast either. I suggest they make a menu with everything that is included and not included with the amounts that the extra stuff costs. WiFi only picks up in the main room. In general, we had a great stay and the view of the mountains is always magical! Staff is very friendly and helpful!

Lovely stay at Inkosana Lodge.

Lovely stay at Inkosana Lodge. When one drives from Winterton through to the Central Drakensberg the landscape starts to change, then suddenly the majestic Drakensberg landscape and mountains opens up before your eyes and you enter a place where your soul truly rests. Inkosana Lodge, nestled within the majestic Drakensberg, is a true gem hidden within the bushy plains of the berg and offers guests a true bush and mountain experience. From the accommodation to the food offered at the lodge is top class. The hostess and owner, Karen, is friendly and professional. The four-legged friends on the property also add a homely feel. If you want to sleep well, have total silence and see a beautiful starry sky, this is the place for you. The pool deck is a lovely place to unwind after a day of adventure and the braai areas are clean and offer a unparalleled view of the berg in all its splendor. Highly recommended!

Wens ons kon langer bly

Dis baie selde dat 'n plek beter is as wat die foto's voorgee. Ons rondawel was pragtig, die uitsig was wonderlik, en die ligging was goed - daar was baie om te doen op dieselfde pad.

Very relaxed and comfortable in keeping with the type of getaway.

Almost everything worked and the shower head was fixed within an hour of reporting it not attached. The staff did not rush us even though we did not leave exactly on time and were willing to be flexible on arrival when able. The cleaning staff were discreet and accommodated our program. The food was of a very good standard.

Rustige, ontspanne gemaklike atmosfeer.

Wat 'n onverwagse verassing. 'n Heerlike blyplek wat ekstra moeite doen om ons en kinders so gemaklik as moontlik te laat. Baie rustige, stil omgewing in pragtige natuurskoon geleë. Sal definitief aanbeveel vir gesinne met klein en tienerkinders. Lamsvleis brijani was 'n wenner gewees!
