The Guardians Lodge

Short bit of dirt road from the town but absolutely worth the trouble once you're at the top against the mountain. The view is amazingly beautiful. Real farm atmosphere with friendly dogs that come to greet guests with the owner and make them feel at home.

There is a restaurant on the farm by the mountain with an exceptional view over the little river. Birdwatchers will enjoy it tremendously. The cabins are warm and neatly equipped and also far enough from one another to be private. The view of the mountain and gardens is beautiful. We definitely recommend it.

Beautiful place and environment to stay at.

Beautiful enviroment and scenery with the mountains right there, very nice little restaurant with excellent food to eat.

Very comfortable and an ideal spot to stay.

JJ was very welcoming and made us feel most welcome. The unit was perfect for our needs and had the most amazing shower and comfortable bed. The location is very beautiful and I would recommend this lodge to any traveller.

What a lovely place to stay.

We were so pleasantly surprised by the lodge. It is in a perfect location and JJ was so accommodating and friendly. The unit was spacious and tastefully furnished, with a wonderful shower. I would definitely recommend this to any traveller.

Teleurstellend.

Wie wil nou na 'n lang dag 'n glasie wyn uit 'n bierglas of wynglas wat eerder 'n blompot is drink? Het foto van die kas binne geneem. 2 stokou kastrolle, 1 nie eers 'n deksel. Trappe 'n gevaar!

Very pleasant stay and beautiful place.

Went above and beyond to make sure all was good for us.

Perfect cottage

Located on a sheep farm. Cottage warm, wonderful view, well-appointed, bed very comfortable.

Fantastiese plaasverblyf in 'n pragtige omgewing.

Puik en gerieflike akkommodasie, pragtige tuine, veilige omgewing en restaurant met heerlike kos.

Aanvaarbaar.

Was nie heeltemaal wat ons verwag het nie. Die restaurant was nie op standaard nie.

A guesthouse with an amazing view.

The owner allowed us to upgrade our room when we arrived. The room is beautifully decorated with an amazing step in bathroom. We have enjoyed our stay as it is so close to nature, farm animals and the beautiful mountain. Due to the animals on the farm there are plenty flies. We would have expected that the unit would have Doom to contain the flies.

Die mense by The Guardians Lodge is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Die uitsig op die berge is asemrowend! Ons kan hulle sterk aanbeveel!

Gerieflik, skoon, aantreklike omgewing.

Akkommodasie gerieflik, ruim, skoon. Gasvrou vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Pragtige omgewing.

Awesome gastehuis en setting.

Ons is so jammer ons het arriveer tydens 'n donderstorm (iets groots om daar te belewe), maar kon egter nie die fasiliteite sien en waardeer nie.

Uitstekend.

Netjies, skoon en gerieflik met vriendelike ontvangs. Baie professioneel. Ek sal weer soontoe gaan en dit enige tyd aanbeveel.

'n Wonderlike oornag verblyf in 'n pragtige omgewing.

Elliot is 'n ideale oornag stop indien mens van die Natalse suidkus na die Ooskaap reis. Die landskap is asemrowend. Guardian lodge is op 'n plaas en voldoen aan al mens se verwagtings.

Weg van die gewoel.

Ons moes lank in gietende reën soek na die pad na die lodge. Na verskeie oproepe kon ons toe met aanwysings van die eienaar daar uitkom. Die pad is ongelooflik sleg en strate het geen straatname nie. Die GPS kon ook glad nie die lodge se naam optel nie. Die eienaar het dadelik uitgekom toe ons arriveer en iemand gestuur om vir ons te wys waar ons moes parkeer - ver van die huisie en toe moes ons - steeds in gietende reën stap na die huisie. Die huisie self was ruim, goed toegerus; skoon en netjies. Baie veilig. Ons het vooraf gereël dat ons effe laat sou wees en gevra of hulle die kombuis sal oophou vir ons. Kombuis in die restaurant sluit 20:00. Ons het eindelik 19:55 arriveer en is dadelik na die restaurant nadat huis vir ons uitgewys is en sleutels oorhandig is - net om voor dooiemans deur te kom. Nadat hulle bevestig het dat restaurant sou oop wees vir ons, was dit toe nie. Ons was toe al sopnat - restaurant-parkering is ook hele ent van die ingang van die restaurant. Ons was nat, vol modder en moeg - dus nie 'n goeie ondervinding nie. Sonder die reën, sou die prentjie dalk effe beter gelyk het. Gelukkig kon ons darem lekker warm stort en het heerlik geslaap.

Heerlik rustige verblyf asemrowende berg-uitsig.

Groot bome, groen gras, poue, border collies en berghange.

Vars, varser, varsste - dis The Guardia Lodge.

Die vars lug, die omgewing, die ligging met die pragtige landskap as jy inry, die behuising, netjiese wit beddegoed, en keurige verblyf. Natuurlik was ons ook bly oor die restourant op die perseel. Ons het die plaas met die lammertjies net so geniet, asook die poue en ander voëls in die mooi tuin. Dankie dat ons goeie herinneringe kon maak.

My husband and I loved everything about The Guardians Lodge and can't wait to stay there again!

A warm welcome upon arrival by owner and staff and friendly dogs. The farm is so lovely with a variety of animals and the view is spectacular too. Our unit had everything one would need. It was very spacious and comfortable and immaculately clean. The Guardians Lodge is one of the best places we've stayed at and husband I travel extensively. I'd rate this as a five-star and can't wait to stay there again!

Very neat and peaceful place.

Friendly people and very nice place to stay at.

Very beautiful location!

We had a very nice in a beautiful area. Easily received and had an enjoyable stay. It was very dark at night around the unit when you come home. The grass is uneven, so I would recommend better lighting from the vehicles to the accommodation.

Enjoyed our 1 night stopover, the owners were extremely helpful and hospitable.

The room was very clean and comfortable. The restaurant was a bonus. Would definitely like to return.

Amazing and beautiful farm to stay on.

Kids loved all the farm animals. Thanks for an amazing stay. Such a beautiful farm and great having a restaurant on site.

Fantastiese mooi area en heerlike ontbyt!

Dis baie netjies en mooi, goed uitgerus. Die ontbyt was werklik smaaklik vir 'n goeie prys.

Baie gasvry!

Sal vir seker aanbeveel. Baie mooi plaas. Lekker restaurant. Mooi uitsigte. Diens is baie goed. Het vir ons ontbyt na ons wooneenheid gebring.

Rustige verblyf net buite Elliot.

Pragtige, skoon kothuis. Die stoep kyk op die skaapkraal en die mooiste berge uit. Daar is spesiale moeite gedoen om vir ons 'n braaier met hout en vuuraanstekers te pak. Die ontbyt is in die kothuis bedien en was baie keurig en smaaklik.

Beautiful location and surrounds.

Awesome place to stay. Kids loved all the animals. Such stunning hills all round.

Dis 'n pragtige plek. Baie skoon en netjies. Baie rustig.

Die verblyf is baie mooi skoon en netjies. Eienaar baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Dis 'n pragtige omgewing. Ons het dit baie geniet. Baie dankie.

The Guardians Lodge was a quiet, well-furnished cottage in a private garden with every comfort.

When we arrived from Queenstown we were delighted to to find we had booked into a quiet, comfortable cottage with ample space, a TV set to watch the Sharks game, and a nearby restaurant to enjoy supper at. Gracious Pat and four vocal border collies made our welcome complete. We'd definitely book here again in order to walk in the spectacular mountains close by.

Netjies, gerieflik met asemrowende natuurskoon.

Die natuurskoon is fantasties en die kothuis is prentjiemooi. Sal beslis volgende keer langer bly.

Gerieflik, netjies en beeldskoon.

Pragtige, netjiese verblyf. Vriendelike diens en waarde vir geld. Sal weer gaan.

Asemrowend.

Baie mooi omgewing, vriendelike diens, waarde vir geld.

Heerlike nagrus in beeldskone omgewing.

Ruim verblyf in die familie eenheid. Goed toegerus, kaggel vir koue aande, warm beddens en heerlike bad en stort. Presies wat ons nodig gehad het na 'n lang dag op die pad.
