The environment is beautiful, the service can improve.
The carpets in the unit are very dirty, we were disgusted to walk on them. It would be better to have teal flooring with loose mats that can be washed. There is also no milk and coffee in the rooms. Breakfast is also ricoffy with cremora, decent filter coffee with milk would be a big improvement. The hot water was also lukewarm, please state. the gas heater higher up for more hot water. The door and window frames are old and not in good condition.

It was very peaceful with the nature that gives rest, the blue wildebeest and the goats in the adjacent nature reserve which are wonderful to look at. In the evening the barbecue with a beautiful sunset was very pleasant.
We walked through the field and it was very nice with blesbucks and warthogs and ostriches, what more could a city boy want? The night temperatures dropped so much that it was good to be able to sleep without aircon. During the day warm 30+, and at night around 14 degrees. And it was a pleasant change from Durban, in Feb/March. All the basic facilities were there in the communal kitchen - everything was on gas - 100% OK. Only Vodacom worked a few times and it was nice not to be sent, Cell C and MTN were not there, but it was OK.

The location is well located and you have a nice view of the dam. But the accommodation itself is disappointing.
The view over the dam is breathtaking with the most beautiful sunrise. The beds have a nice hard mattress, but the rooms and bathrooms have carpets in them and it doesn't smell too good. The carpets in the bathroom are not a good idea with the moisture in the bathroom making the carpets smell. The headboard by the bed is made of fabric where you can also see oil stains where previous guests have pressed their heads against it. The lighting outside the rooms on one side is also not very friendly in the dark.

To visit Gariepdam reserve was about a 15 minute drive. What we liked was that the farm on which the resort is located can be visited on foot.

A one night sleepover from the Cape to Gauteng.
Raptor Ridge offers nice views of the dam and gives the feeling of unspoilt. However, in my opinion, the use of a communal kitchen shared with management detracts from the experience. A well planned and equipped small kitchen area and braai facility on each cottage's deck would work great. Another element that would be a huge improvement is to replace the carpets in the living units with tiles. Better solar lighting on the paths to the units is also needed.

Was strange not having a fridge in the room.
But if you like to be in between nothing and nowhere this is the place for you.

Sal nie weer hier tuisgaan nie.

Will not stay here again.
The pictures are very misleading. There is also no mention of the fact that the power is so weak that even a hair dryer cannot be switched on. The water's temperature regulation in the shower does not exist, it is either boiling hot or freezing cold. The place feels creepy and dirty. Needs a lot of attention.

It was a neat place and conveniently located.
Everything you need was there even though the complex was powered by solar power. This is a good idea.

It was comfortable with friendly reception. Nice views. Nice clean swimming pool. Value for money.
Gas geyser is erratic (hot and ice cold). Not enough work surfaces in your room if you want to braai, owner uses main lapa himself. Not sure what the essay is there? Availability of braai wood/blitz would be good (even if it is for sale). Cigarette butts in barbecue on arrival. MTB route can have easier and clearer access. (One has to climb over a gate with your bike, a bit difficult, but still an adventure).

Dit is die derde keer dat ons by Raptor Ridge Lodge oornag op pad George of Kaap toe en ons hou baie van die plek!

This is the third time we have stayed at Raptor Ridge Lodge on our way to George or the Cape and we really like the place!
Raptor Ridge Lodge is a very nice place to stay overnight on the way to George or the Cape. The view over Gariep Dam is beautiful and if you are lucky, you will see the most beautiful sunset and goats too! Bets is very friendly and helpful and you feel right at home in the large kitchen and sitting/dining room! We will spend the night here again on our way to George/Cape!
