Baie rustig en aangenaam, mooi omgewing.

Die verblyf het aan al ons vereistes voldoen in 'n stil en mooi landelike omgewing. Die ombouing van die silo was vindingryk gedoen, en ek sal nooit weer verby 'n silo kan ry sonder om aan Lupela herinner te word nie. "Memories are made of this!".

Very peaceful and pleasant, beautiful surroundings.

The accommodation met all our requirements in a quiet and beautiful rural environment. The conversion of the silo was ingeniously done, and I will never again be able to drive past a silo without being reminded of Lupela. "Memories are made of this!".

Baie oulike "Look Out Kothuis". Ons was 3 volwassenes en 2 Jack Russels.

Het baie lekker gebly. Erf nie toegespan nie, so die hondjies moes ongelukkig vas bly aan bandjies. Lekker stappaadjies en pragtige omgewing. Grondpad op die plaas het uitdagings nadat dit woes gereën het.

Very cute "Look Out Cottage". We were 3 adults and 2 Jack Russels.

Had a great stay. Erf not harnessed, so the puppies unfortunately had to stay on leashes. Nice walking paths and beautiful surroundings. Dirt road on the farm has challenges after it rained heavily.

Dankie vir die terugvoering. Die Krag in die Silo cottage was foutief en elektrisien het probeer om dit betyds vir julle te herstel waarna ons die Look Out cottage vir julle voorgestel het teen dieselfde prys as die Silo cottage. Look Out cottage het Solar krag gehad en 'n pragtige uitsig. Ons is jammer dat julle onveilig daar gevoel het maar julle verskaf nie n rede hoekom julle so gevoel het nie. Ongelukkig bly ons in SA en Eskom is so onvoorspelbaar soos die weer. Hoop julle het 'veilige reis verder gehad.

Pragtige plek, kommunikasie en reëlings stel egter teleur.

Lupela Lodge is 'n pragtige plek wat ons vir enige iemand sou aanbeveel as dit nie was vir die swak kommunikasie deur die eienaar/opsigter nie. By ons aankoms tref ons 'n hek (ongeveer 2km van die blyplek) aan wat slegs oopgemaak kan word deur 'n kode. By die hek is 'n kennisgewing wat aandui dat die kode gesms is aan ons, maar ons het geen sms (of whatsapp of e-pos) ontvang met 'n kode nie. Daar is geen selfoonopvangs by hierdie hek om die eienaar te kan kontak nie. Ons was dus genoodsaak om die res van die pad te stap (daar is darm 'n voetgangerhekkie) en kry gelukkig die opsigter in die hande waar hy besig is om vis te vang. Opsigter gee toe die kode vir die hek, maar bied nie aan om te help nie, en ons moes toe maar weer die 2 km terugstap om ons voertuie te gaan haal. Arriveer uiteindelik ongeveer 2 ure later by die blyplek en begin afpak, net om te besef nie al die kamers wat ons bespreek het is oopgesluit nie. Daar is niemand (eienaar of opsigter) beskikbaar om ons te ontvang of te help nie. Steeds geen selfoonsein nie, maar kry gelukkig by die een ander gas die WiFi pasword en bel toe die eienaar. Dit is teen hierdie tyd reeds ongeveer 6 uur die aand. Eienaar se sy sal probeer om die opsigter in die hande te kry om te kom help - sonder sukses. Eienaar beduie later telefonies vir my waar om die sleutels self te gaan soek vir die kamer wat gesluit is. Dit het dus ongeveer 3 ure geneem om in te kom. Die kamer wat nie oopgesluit was nie, was duidelik nie skoongemaak nie. Eienaar se terugvoer rakende hekkode wat nie gestuur het nie, ook uiters teleurstellend. Voordat ons bespreking gemaak het, het ons bevestig met eienaar dat die pad begaanbaar is vir 'n sedanvoertuig. Dit is egter geensins die geval nie, en jy benodig definitief 'n voertuig wat hoog bo die grond is om blyplek te bereik. Dis jammer dat ons nie hierdie fantastiese blyplek en omgewing kon geniet het nie.

Beautiful place, however, communication and arrangements are disappointing.

Lupela Lodge is a beautiful place that we would recommend to anyone if it wasn't for the poor communication by the owner/caretaker. Upon our arrival we encounter a gate (about 2km from the accommodation) which can only be opened by a code. At the gate is a notice indicating that the code was texted to us, but we did not receive any text (or whatsapp or email) with a code. There is no mobile reception at this gate to contact the owner. We were therefore forced to walk the rest of the way (there is a pedestrian barrier) and luckily caught the caretaker where he was fishing. The caretaker then gave the code for the gate, but did not offer to help, and we then had to walk the 2 km back to collect our vehicles. Finally arrived at the accommodation about 2 hours later and started unpacking, only to realize that not all the rooms we had booked were unlocked. There is no one (owner or caretaker) available to receive or help us. Still no mobile phone signal, but luckily got the WiFi password from the other guest and then called the owner. By this time it is already about 6 o'clock in the evening. Owner's side will try to get hold of the caretaker to come and help - without success. Owner later on the phone indicated to me where to go to find the keys myself for the locked room. So it took about 3 hours to get in. The room that was not unlocked had clearly not been cleaned. Owner's feedback regarding gate code not sending, also extremely disappointing. Before making reservation, we confirmed with owner that the road is passable for a sedan vehicle. However, this is by no means the case, and you definitely need a vehicle that is high above the ground to reach accommodation. It's a shame that we couldn't have enjoyed this fantastic place to stay and surroundings.

Hallo Jo, ons is regtig jammer oor julle slegte ervaring. Daar was geen rede vir die opsigter se afwesigheid nie, ook nie hoekom kamers 4 en 5 van Lupela cottage nie oop was nie. Hoekom die SMS met hekkode nie deur gegaan het of deur julle ontvang is nie kan ek nie verklaar. Op my selfoon was dit deur en dit het alle inligting bevat wat julle nodig gehad het om by hek in te kom asook die Wi-Fi kode en beurtkrag skedule. Kontak my asb vir 'n terugbetaling van julle verbly.

Look Out River Cottage was super peaceful and gorgeous.

Super comfortable stay, view of the river and lovely gurgling of the river audible in the house. It would be wonderful to stay longer, but even one night with a morning walk along the river recharged our batteries. It will be easier to access when the road works have been completed.

The accommodation in the silo was rustic and unusual but very nice, comfortable and quiet.

We enjoyed our stay at Lupela Lodge after finding the road off the tar main road to the lodge a little difficult mainly because of the amount of rain the area has experienced. The accommodation was comfortable with everything we need for our stay and very kind hosts. We enjoyed the quietness and stillness in the evening.

Onbeskryflike berge, valleie en natuurtonele en 'n opwindende "wild trout" rivier ervaring.

Alf en Denise het ons alweer 'n paar dae se "bliss" gebied op hulle plaas. Dis ons derde keer en ons sal weer terug wees! Die "wild trout" was 'n groot uitdaging met die sterk vloeiende rivier na die lieflike donderstorms in die suidelike Drakensberge. Lupela Lodge is die ideale huis om as 'n gesin met al die nodige geriewe te kuier.

Ongelooflik, anders, 'n ervaring, lekker.

Ons was 'n geselskap van agt en het almal gerieflik geslaap. Die plek is goed toegerus en die kaggel binne het tot laat gebrand, nadat ons buite gebraai het. Ongelukkig kon ons net een nag bly. Ek gaan terug vir 'n week.

Unbelievable, different, an experience, nice.

We were a party of eight and all slept comfortably. The place is well equipped and the fireplace inside burned until late, after we braaied outside. Unfortunately we could only stay one night. I'm going back for a week.

Gaan vir seker weer; stukkie hemel op aarde as jy wil wegkom van alles.

Die ligging, die stilte, die natuurskoon, die gebrek aan tegnologie maak dit super spesiaal. Die verblyf, ons was 'n groep van 7 wat vir vier nagte oorgebly het, in Lupela Cottage was fantasties. Baie goed toegerus, kaggel, kroegie, kombuis. Ons het deeglik gebruik gemaak van vuurput en kaggel alhoewel die weer lekker gematig was. Die beddens en beddegoed uit boonste rakke. En elke kamer het sy eie badkamer. En ek kon, met spesiale vergunning van die gasvrou, Denise, twee van my vierbeenkinders saamvat.

Go again for sure; piece of heaven on earth if you want to get away from it all.

The location, the silence, the natural beauty, the lack of technology make it super special. The stay, we were a group of 7 who stayed for four nights, in Lupela Cottage was fantastic. Very well equipped, fireplace, bar, kitchen. We made good use of the fire pit and fireplace even though the weather was nice and mild. The beds and bedding are top notch. And each room has its own bathroom. And I was able, with special courtesy of the hostess, Denise, to take two of my four-legged children with me.

Heerlike verblyf in pragtige still omgewing met wonderlike natuurskoon.

Dit is in 'n pragtige omgewing geleë. Die toegangspad is waarskynlik effens ongemaklik met 'n sedanmotor. Die rit is deel van die pret. Uitstekende verblyf.

Heerlik rustig, baie gerieflik en pragtige uitsig en omgewing.

Ons was 4 volwassenes met 2 kinders van 6 en 5 jaar asook 2 honde wat in die Lupela Kothuis gebly het en het die naweek baie geniet. Die eienaar, Denise, was baie vriendelik en tegemoetkomend en die kothuis was baie goed toegerus met selfs koffie, tee en suiker en melk in die yskas. Ons het teen die koppie agter die huis uitgeklim en toe deur die droë spruit weer terug, wonderlike tonele, plante, klippe, ens en so reg in ons kraal. Ten spyte van die droogte is dit nog steeds baie mooi en kon die kinders en honde in 'n poel water afkoel. Ons kan Lupela Lodge baie sterk aanbeveel en sal beslis weer daar oorbly.

Lovely quiet, very comfortable and beautiful views and surroundings.

We were 4 adults with 2 children aged 6 and 5 as well as 2 dogs staying in the Lupela Cottage and enjoyed the weekend. The owner, Denise, was very friendly and accommodating and the cottage was very well equipped with even coffee, tea and sugar and milk in the fridge. We climbed up the hill behind the house and then back through the dry stream, wonderful scenes, plants, stones, etc. and so right up our alley. Despite the drought, it is still very beautiful and the children and dogs could cool down in a pool of water. We can highly recommend Lupela Lodge and will definitely stay there again.

Baie lekker.

Die huis was heerlik ruim, netjies en goed toegerus. Ek sou net beter aanwysings na die vlieghengel areas wou gehad het. Die rivier is ook nie maklik bereikbaar nie. Ons het ook slegs een piepklein forel gevang. Die rivier is baie laag so dit kan dalk die rede wees vir die min vis. Ek sou egter dan vooraf wou ingelig wees dat dit nie die moeite werd is om te probeer visvang nie en nie dan nog 'n stokfooi ook betaal nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Very nice.

The house was wonderfully spacious, neat and well equipped. I just wanted better directions to the fly fishing areas. The river is also not easily accessible. We only caught one tiny trout. The river is very low so it may be the reason for the few fish. However, I would have preferred being informed beforehand that it is not worth trying to fish and not paying another rod fee.

Baie dankie vir die terugvoer, ons waardeer dit. Ongelukkig is dit nie altyd moontlik om aanwysings aan te bring na die rivier. Die rivier is maklik bereikbaar en ons het nog nooit so 'n versoek gehad nie. Ons sal daarna kyk maar bietjie moeilik want hoeveel borde moet ons opsit en waar. Visvangs die vorige week was goed en omdat die rivier bestaan uit groot poele waar vis is as die water laag raak het ek nie gedink dat dit vir julle 'n probleem sou wees nie. Jammer daaroor.

Pragtige ligging in die berge van die Oos-Kaap met uitsigte oor die rivier.

Dis ideaal vir 'n naweekwegbreek, want dis slegs drie ure se ry van Bloemfontein af. Ons was drie ouer dames met 'n klein sedan motor, wat steeds die lodge redelik maklik kon bereik. Ons is vriendelik ontvang deur die gasvrou. Die wooneenheid was pragtig ingerig en het al ons verwagtinge oortref. Dit is daagliks skoongemaak.

It's ideal for a weekend getaway, because it's only a three-hour drive from Bloemfontein. We were three older ladies with a small sedan car, who could still reach the lodge quite easily. We were kindly received by the hostess. The apartment was beautifully furnished and exceeded all our expectations. It was cleaned daily.

Absolutely amazing views, cute silo cottage with everything you could possibly need.

The walks and views are amazing. The silo is very well laid out with everything you need. The drive in is a little rough, (I have a low car) but it is so worth the trip, it's only a short 5 km dirt road. Accessibility to rivers is a bit lacking, perhaps some attention needs to be spent on that, if it is advertised as a fishing destination.

Goeie dag Retha,

We stayed in the cottage by the river and it was excellent.

We want to come back again - really enjoyed our night here!

Die omgewing is besonders.

Silo is 'n goeie ondervinding om in te slaap. Besoekers moet nie deur die Transkei reis nie.

The environment is special.

Silo is a good experience to sleep in. Visitors should not travel through the Transkei.
