A perfect setting that allows you to feel deeply rejuvenated, and never leave.

It was absolutely incredible. Definitely a place that we could have stayed for much longer. The immediate peace was indescribable. I slept so well and felt rejuvenated.

Back to nature.

This was our second stay at Scalarhoney Lodge. Love it for its remoteness and off the grid living! You have time to explore the hiking routes or just chill next to the river.

Alleen met my 2 honde - salig, pragtig, veilig, onvergeetlik!

Al wat ek die jaar vir my verjaarsdag wou hê, is om alleen met my 2 honde iewers te gaan rus, ver van alles en almal (geen selfoon opvangs was so 'n bonus). En toe ontdek ek hierdie 'gem'. Die omgewing het my asem weggeslaan, ek kon nie ophou kyk na die ongelooflike skoonheid van die skepping nie. Ek het met die deur oop geslaap en kon heelnag luister hoe die water kabbel oor die klippe in die stroom, seker 5m van die hut af. Ons was die enigste 'gaste' en het die stilte terdeë geniet. Die weer was perfek en ons kon swem en stap na hartelus. Vir my 4-voete was dit hondehemel gewees en vir my, presies wat ek nodig gehad het. Die geriewe was meer as voldoende. Die grond/klippe pad vanaf Twee Riviere tot op die plaas het my bietjie benoud gehad in die begin, maar dit was heeltemal onnodig want die Corsa bakkie kon gemaklik in en uit (met swaar reën kan dit sekerlik lol). Baie dankie - lekkerste verjaarsdag naweek gewees. Beplan vir seker om weer te gaan, want 2 dae was hopeloos te kort!

Alone with my 2 dogs - blissful, beautiful, safe, unforgettable!

All I wanted for my birthday this year was to go somewhere alone with my 2 dogs to rest, far from everything and everyone (no cell phone reception was such a bonus). And then I discovered this 'gem'. The surroundings took my breath away, I couldn't stop looking at the incredible beauty of creation. I slept with the door open and could listen all night to the water lapping over the stones in the stream, probably 5m from the cabin. We were the only 'guests' and thoroughly enjoyed the silence. The weather was perfect and we could swim and walk to our hearts content. For my 4-legged friends it was dog heaven and for me, exactly what I needed. The facilities were more than adequate. The dirt/stone road from Twee Riviere to the farm gave me a bit of a scare at the beginning, but it was completely unnecessary because the Corsa bakkie could easily get in and out (with heavy rain it certainly can lol). Thank you very much - it was the most wonderful birthday weekend. Definitely plan to go again, because 2 days was hopelessly too short!

Ongelooflike mooi omgewing. Baie staproetes. Waterstrome om in te swem.

Ons het ons kuier vreeslik geniet - geriewe basies, maar meer as voldoende. Let daarop dat jy 'n hoë vryhoogte voertuig nodig het om die Lodge te bereik.

Incredibly beautiful surroundings. Lots of hiking trails. Streams to swim in.

We really enjoyed our stay - facilities basic but more than adequate. Please note that you will need a high clearance vehicle to reach the Lodge.

Rustic, off grid, nature, relaxing.

Now this is a location everyone should experience at least once in their lives. It is more off the grid, so come prepared. No signal, which is great as it allows you to fully be present and enjoy the gorgeous mountain views. Although there is WiFi access closer to the owners' relaxing pad, this is created for the people.

Directions are poor, there is no electricity, and it is very primitive.

Hi, not bad but the advertisement did not show or give a true reflection of the lodge.

Very nice to be back in nature.

What an awesome destination, free from cell phones, TV, and WiFi. If that is your kind of weekend, you need to get away from the city life, it's here. You are right next to a river and the water rushing over the rocks will put you to sleep. The water from the river is the best drinking water I have ever tasted. Andre, the owner, with his second in command, takes care of everything. Thank you for everything. See you soon. PS: We need a few more markers for directions to the lodge.

Woorde en foto's kan nie beskryf wat jy by Scalarhoney Lodge ervaar nie.

Wat 'n wonderlike voorreg om hierdie "stukkie hemel op aarde" te kon geniet. Asemrowende natuurskoon waar jy jouself weer kan vind en André se gasvryheid is 'n wen kombinasie. Ons sal beslis weer gaan en kan dit vir jonk en oud aanbeveel.

Absolutely fantastic.

All I can say is if you need a good break to recharge, come here. Beautiful nature, peaceful and lots to explore. Winding down by a gorgeous babbling river and fire with stunning moon rises.

Dis nou 'n lekker wegkom van Gauteng vir paartjies! Dis pragtig!

Meer reg in die middel van die natuur gaan jy nie kry nie. Ver weg van alles. Bly by die rivier, gaan hike, gaan swem, braai, slaap knus. Fantastiese plek vir paartjies! Eienaar verskriklik vriendelik en behulpsaam.

You will not find more right in the middle of nature. Far away from everything. Stay by the river, go hiking, go swimming, barbecue, sleep snugly. Great place for couples! Owner incredibly friendly and helpful.

Rustig en stil tussen die bome.

Wat 'n belewenis om tussen die bome, reg langs 'n kabbelende rivier in die natuur te wees. Basies maar netjiese akkommodasie met alles wat jy benodig vir 'n gemaklike verblyf. Die spoeltoilet tussen die bosse was nou 'n ervaring soos min. Dankie ook aan Brian vir al die behulpsaamheid.

Peaceful and quiet among the trees.

What an experience to be among the trees, right next to a rippling river in nature. Basic but neat accommodation with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The flush toilet among the bushes was now an experience like few. Thanks also to Brian for all the help.
