It's not everyone's cup of tea. The accommodation could be considered spartan, but they are trying to leave a very small electric footprint which is admirable. The sky is amazing at night, just look up.

The perfect overnight spot for a weary traveller.

Bets offered a warm welcome and great hospitality and I had a very peaceful and comfortable stopover at Raptor Ridge Lodge. A few others have mentioned the dodgy mats in the bathroom, but apart from that the place was immaculate. I would highly recommend Raptor Ridge Lodge as a great value for money stopover.

Goeie ligging en was vriendelik ontvang deur Bets. Pragtige plekkie met 'n baie mooi uitsig oor die dam. Ons plekkie was skoon en netjies en het gemaklik in die gesamentlike kombuis geniet. Sal beslis weer daar oornag.

Sal die plekkie beslis aanbeveel. Het nie 'n probleem om die kombuis te deel nie. Bets was absoluut 'n goeie gasvrou en ons het baie lekker oorgeslaap.

Die omgewing is pragtig, die diens kan verbeter.

Die matte in die eenheid is baie vuil, ons was vies om daarop te loop. Dit sal beter wees om teel vloer met los matjies te hê wat gewas kan word. Daar is ook geen melk en koffie in die kamers nie. Ontbyt is ook ricoffy met cremora, ordentlike filterkoffie met melk sal 'n groot verbetering wees. Die warm water was ook louerig, stel asb. die gasverwarmer hoër op vir meer warm water. Die deur en vernsterrame is oud en seel nie oordentlik nie.

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.

Indien nodig sal ons weer daarvan gebruik maak.

Ek het oorgeslaap met my 80 jarige moeder wat korttermyn geheue verlies het, maar die pragtige omgewing en Bets se hartelikheid het haar vrolik laat voel. My gemoedstoestand het baie met hare te doen gehad daarom was dit vir my ’n plus.

Beautiful location next to the dam.

We experienced a storm which was beautiful to watch over the open valley. Unfortunately, the lady decided to cancel our order for a braai pack because of the storm without an alternative solution, even though there was a fully functioning kitchen. The beds are old and there are still carpets in the bathrooms. It's not a lodge. No TV or kettle in the rooms.

My daughter and I had a comfortable stopover at Raptor Ridge Lodge. Place was serene.

The host, Bets, is an amazing person. She maintained contact with us until we arrived (which was quite late in the night) and then met us upon arrival. Bets made sure that we were comfortable. the next morning, Bets also ensured that my daughter was not inconvenienced and turned on the generator. The resident cats were also a pleasure to have around. Beautiful place. Very quiet and peaceful with views of the dam. Thank you to the website and Raptor Ridge.

Dit was baie rustig met die natuur wat rus gee, die blouwildebeeste en die bokke in die aanliggende natuurreservaat wat heerlik om na te kyk. Saans was die braai met 'n pragtige sononder baie aangenaam.

Ons het deur die veld geloop en dit was baie lekker met blesbokke en vlakvarke en volstruise, wat wil 'n stadsjapie nog meer? Die nagtemperature het sodanig gedaal dat dit goed was om te kan slaap sonder aircon. In die dag warm 30+, en in die nag rondom 14 grade. En dit was 'n aangename verandering van Durban, in Feb/Maart. Al die basise geriewe was daar in die gemeenskaplike kombuis - alles was op gas - 100% OK. Net Vodacom het party kere gewerk en dit was lekker om nie gestuer te word nie, Cell C en MTN was nie daar nie, maar dit was OK.

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.

Die plek is netjies en gerieflik, die ontvangs was vriendelik. Die uitsig, sterre en sonsopkoms en ondergang asemrowend.

Stunning views, comfortable room.

Stunning views of Gariep Dam and the Milky Way. Comfortable room, it, unfortunately, has no windows, doors on both sides, it rained when we were there, we could not leave the doors open for air as it rained into the room, so it became a bit stuffy inside. The communal kitchen also requires you to go outside to reach it, maybe they could put an umbrella in each room, we didn't have one available. Last but not least due to the fault of the hostess, the borehole water leaves a residue in the toilet, which looks a bit gross, not sure how one could fix that. Maybe Jeyes fluid? We didn't worry about it being dirty, the bathroom, bedroom, basin, shower, etc. were all spotless. I think it is simply the result of borehole water. Bets was friendly, informative and helpful.

Die ligging is goed geleë en jy het 'n mooi view van die dam. Maar die verblyf self is teleurstellend.

Die uitkyk oor die dam is asemrowend met die mooiste sonsopkoms. Die beddens het 'n lekker harde matras, maar die kamers en badkamers het matte in en dit ruik nie te wel nie. Die matte in die badkamer is nie 'n goeie idee nie met die vog in die badkamer maak dit dat die matte 'n reuk afgee. Die kopstuk by die bed is van materiaal waar jy ook kan oliekolle sien waar vorige gaste hul koppe teen dit gedruk het. Die beligting buite die kamers aan die een kant is ook nie baie vriendelik in die donker nie.

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.

Ontvangs was vriendelik, die kamer was skoon en netjies.

Wat ons wel gemis het was om self water te kon kook vir tee of koffie. Moes kookwater in die oord se kombuis gaan kry het (sou nuttig gewees het om dit vooraf te weet). Om Gariepdam reservaat te besoek was ongeveer 15 minute se ry. Wat ons van gehou het was dat die plaas waarop die oord geleë is te voet besoek kan word.

What we did miss was being able to boil our own water for tea or coffee. Should have gone to get boiling water in the resort kitchen (would have been helpful to know this beforehand). 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.

Ideale halfweghuis as jy van PTA na Mosselbaai reis.

Bets by Raptor Ridge het ons absoluut op die hande gedra en meer as net moeite met ons gedoen om seker te maak dat ons gerieflik is. Sy is 'n ware gasvrou. Dankie Bets. Die natuurskoon is van die beter plekke in ons land en redelik onbekend aan die meeste SA-bewoners. Voorwaar 'n juweel. Miskien goed so, dan word die ongereptheid behoue gehou.

'n Een aand oorslaap vanaf die Kaap na Gauteng.

Raptor Ridge bied mooi uitsigte oor die dam en gee die gevoel van ongereptheid. Myns insiens doen die gebruik van 'n gemeenskaplike kombuis wat gedeel word met die bestuur egter afbreek aan die ervaring. 'n Goed Beplande en toegeruste klein kombuis area en braai fasiliteit op elke huisie se dek sou uitstekend werk. 'n Ander element wat 'n reuse verbetering sou wees, is om die matte in die wooneenhede te vervang met teels. Beter sonkragverligting op die paadjies na die eenhede is ook nodig.

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

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.

We love how isolated Raptor Ridge Lodge is and being able to see the Gariep Dam and wild animals all around.

Even though Raptor Ridge Lodge is completely off the grid, we had hot running water and electricity. The communual kitchen, bar, lounge and dining area are comfortable and we just love all the wooden (tree trunks) features. Bets, the hostess was welcoming, friendly and helpful.

Die ligging is perfek, maar die kamers het aandag nodig.

Die plek is heerlik naby die dam met mooi uitsigte en ons kon lekker in die natuur braai. Die kamers moet opgradeer word. Dit is bietjie ongerieflik om kookwater, ens. in die gesamentlike kombuis te gaan haal. In die kombuis was alles wat 'n mens nodig het.

This review is being shown in its original language.

The location is perfect but the rooms need attention.

The place is wonderfully close to the dam with beautiful views and we could have a nice barbecue in nature. The rooms need to be upgraded. It is a little inconvenient to boil water, etc. in the shared kitchen. In the kitchen was everything one needs.

Perfect overnight stay.

Generally ok as an overnight stop, I think certain aspects need attention such as upgrading or repairing the chairs in the rooms and definitely the wooden decks outside each room need attention. Raptor Ridge has the potential to be so much more than just an overnight stop.

Die kombuis word gedeel met gaste, en die een vrieskas werk glad nie. Net solar-krag is beskikbaar, so krag kon nie regtig gebruik word nie. Die plek het restoureerwerk nodig. Van die eetgerei was vuil. Ons is nie volledig ingelig oor die situasie nie.

As jy inkom by die kamer ruik dit muf, matte is vol kolle en lyk vuil. Stort het bietjie warm water in aand en volgende oggend gehad vir omtrent twee minute so meeste van ons het koue stort gehad met min water druk.

More of a backpackers than a bed and breakfast.

Upon arrival we had to wait 30minutes outside the gate in the rain as the host was not there and the gates were locked. The location is lovely but the lodge itself is in serious need of an upgrade. Room had a smell of cat urine. Carpets so dirty I wouldn't walk barefoot on them. Shower full of mildew and dirty bath mat. 1 ply toilet paper, general pink cleaner in old dispenser bottle for handwash. No kettle or TV in room. Wicker armchairs in room broken with exposed large nails sticking out. This place should be a backpackers of 1 star. We did not stay. It was uncomfortable and unpleasant. The photos shown do not depict the reality of the accommodation whatsoever. The price they charge for a night is not worth anywhere close to it. Do not recommend it.

Dit was gerieflik met vriendelike ontvangs. Mooi uitsigte. Mooi skoon swemdam. Waarde vir geld.

Gasgeiser is wisselvallig (warm en yskoud). Nie genoeg werksoppervlaktes in jou kamer as jy wil braai nie, eienaar gebruik hooflapa self. Nie seker wat die opstel daar is nie? Beskikbaarheid van braaihout/blitz sal goed wees (al is dit te koop). Sigaretstompies in braai op aankoms. MTB roete kan makliker en duideliker toegang hê. (Mens moet oor 'n hek klim met jou fiets, bietjie moeilik, maar tog 'n avontuur).

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).

Raptor Ridge Lodge is 'n baie lekker plek om te oornag op pad George of Kaap toe. Die uitsig oor Gariep Dam is pragtig en as jy gelukkig is, sien jy die mooiste sonsondergang en bokke ook!
