Neat place located in a pristine wilderness area.
It is special because it places one in nature and all its unique facets. The accommodation was tidy with access to all the necessary elements of self-catering. The owner was very hospitable and helpful. Would recommend it.

Die instandhouding van die lodge word nie gedoen nie.
This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.
The maintenance of the lodge is not done.
The furniture is broken, the bed's mattress is totally worn out, cobwebs are not removed, the french drain or septic tank is overflowing and the smell is not good at all, the covered parking is too little. I prefer something like a chalet to sharing a house, but we prefer to camp with our caravan and this experience has confirmed that for us.

Beautiful place, nice and tidy and everything you need.
Bernadette met us there and immediately showed us everything. Kitchen is shared by the rest of the lodge's people. But very neat and spacious. Will definitely book Serenity again for our whole group of friends who can all stay there together. Sleeps 14 adults.

We enjoyed our visit. The lady who cleaned our room every day was very friendly and helpful. Just a few points (we are not complaining, but just for information): We stayed in room no. 1 stayed. The bed may need to be replaced, there is no space with a mirror and a wall plug to take care of hair, the cold tap from the sink in the bathroom is leaking, the one bedside lamp is not working (flickering).

Not to recommend.
We did not experience the Du Bois Lodge as a 3 star. Shared kitchen for all guests. Would have liked more of a fridge in room. Rooms very dark. Linen very old and not white. Rooms do not have bedside tables and bedside lamps. No closets in rooms. Long stick on a wire with 4 hangers in our room. Towels were torn and did not smell clean. We had to ask for toilet paper in our rooms. No place to put a suitcase and no place with a mirror to put on makeup.

It was peaceful, away from the noise of the city and TV etc. My husband and I enjoyed every moment and will definitely return. Everything was kept clean at all times.
