Tranquil stay.

Awesome and tranquil stay in the unit. Everything was perfect and staff went out of their way to see to us. There is hiking, biking, swimming (in the waterfall and pool), games and so much more to do.

Dis duur vir wat jy kry.

Dis 'n forel-lodge en daar is 'n hengeltoeslag van R100 per persoon per dag, en jy moet R175/kg vir al die vis betaal wat jy vang. Daar was baie karp in die dam, nie net forel soos geadverteer nie, dit was 'n moeilike vangs. Die vis was ook ondervoed, ek het fotos van uitgeteerde vis. Hulle het ook personeelbestuursprobleme, almal wat skoonmaak het weggegaan, blykbaar al die tweede groep.

It's expensive for what you get.

It's a trout lodge and there is a fishing allowance of R100 per person per day, and you have to pay R175/kg for all the fish you catch. There were plenty of carp in the pond, not just trout as advertised, it was a tough catch. The fish was also malnourished, I have photos of emaciated fish. They also have personnel management problems, everyone who cleaned left, apparently all the second group.

Pragtige omgewing en natuurskoon!

Dit is pragtig en die eenheid was goed ingerig en skoon. Alles het gewerk, en ons twee Yorkies en papegaai was saam. Dit is rustig buite skoolvakansie, en die personeel is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die apple crumble, forel, en steak en chips was uit die boonste rakke!

Kingfisher is a very nice getaway option. But The Royal Coachman should not be rented out in its current state.

All the units at The Kingfisher are very neat and cute Except The Royal Coachman in which we stayed as a family of 6. The bedding and towels are very old. Some beds had no fitted sheets and you had to lie on a mattress. Place was full of cobwebs and geckos. Children were too scared to sleep. Full of dust. We grilled for the place. And the unit was outside the tension area. Children could not go back and forth by themselves. Very poor place to stay. But the other units on site are very good. Just not Royal Coachman. I would be happy to pay less for such a poor unit.

May l start by saying a huge thank you to Leonie and Hannes. You are incredible and your friendly smiles made me feel right at home. The room was comfortable and fully fitted. The bath jets worked. Whoever is reading this review, please order the pizza, it is definitely the best l have ever tasted! My only ask is may you consider putting a little wash line up just in case a little laundry needs to be done. Thank you again for a simply wonderful stay.

The Love's Lure chalet is unacceptably cold in the winter.

Unfortunately the Love's Lure chalet, while otherwise lovely, is essentially a cabin with thin wood walls, making it basically impossible to heat effectively. The pipes also burst, leaving us with no water for at least a few hours. We left after a night's stay as a result. A pity as the place is otherwise really beautiful and staff are friendly. The hike is also pretty treacherous and the paths are not clearly marked.

Uitmuntend.

Al die staff was super vriendelik en ons met ope arms ontvang. Die eenheid was daagliks skoongemaak, kampeergronde is beslis 'n wenner. Kos uit die boonste rakke. Was regtig aangenaam om daar te wees en sal beslis weer gaan. Ons kon die WiFi by die kroeg gebruik, selfoonopvangs was nie goed gewees nie aangesien dit in die berge is en natuurlik het ons nie eers die TV gemis nie. Mens gaan elk geval vir 'n wegbreek om te ontspan en een met die natuur te wees en nie om TV te kyk nie. Wil ook byvoeg dat die foto's op hulle website die plek nie justify nie - dit is veel mooier!!

Excellent.

All the staff were super friendly and welcomed us with open arms. The unit was cleaned daily, camping grounds is definitely a winner. Top notch food. Was really pleasant to be there and will definitely go again. We could use the WiFi at the bar, cell phone reception was not good as it is in the mountains and of course we didn't even miss the TV. In any case, one goes for a break to relax and be one with nature and not to watch TV. Also want to add that the photos on their website do not justify the place - it is much more beautiful!!

Gasvryheid met 'n verskil!

Vrede en rustigheid! Ons het so lekker gebly by The Kingfisher Country Cottage & Trout Lodge. Met ons aankoms is ons vriendelik deur die eienaars gegroet. Ons het 'n komplimentêre glas sjerrie ontvang en Gary het ons 'n toer van die terrein gegee. Ons het net vir 'n naweek gebly, maar ons het 'n wonderlike tyd gehad. Ons het die volgende oggend 'n heerlike ontbyt gehad. Komplimente aan Cat en personeel wat vir ons sulke wonderlike kos verskaf het. Gary, dankie vir die wenk oor die swemgat by die waterval. Baie dankie aan Gary en Cat vir hul gasvryheid en vriendelike geselsies. Sal beslis The Kingfisher Country Cottage & Trout Lodge vir medereisigers aanbeveel! Ons sal binnekort weer kuier.

Hospitality with a difference!

Peace and tranquility! We had such a great stay at The Kingfisher Country Cottage & Trout Lodge. Upon our arrival we were kindly greeted by the owners. We received a complimentary glass of sherry and Gary gave us a tour of the grounds. We only stayed for a weekend but we had a wonderful time. We had a delicious breakfast the next morning. Compliments to Cat and staff for providing us with such wonderful food. Gary, thanks for the tip about the swimming hole at the waterfall. Many thanks to Gary and Cat for their hospitality and friendly chats. Would definitely recommend The Kingfisher Country Cottage & Trout Lodge to fellow travelers! We will visit again soon.

Dit was 'n heerlike, ontspannende langnaweek.

Die chalets is goed toegerus en netjies. Benewens die foreldamme is daar ook 'n dam waar daar karp gevang kan word en 'n groot voordeel vir diegene wat wil 'papswaai'. Die omgewing is prentjiemooi en die diere op die terrein wat dit 'n plaasatmosfeer gee, maak dit baie spesiaal. Die personeel was almal baie vriendelik en daar heers 'n heerlike, ontspanne atmosfeer. Die terrein was ook baie netjies en versorg.

It was a lovely, relaxing long weekend.

The chalets are well equipped and tidy. In addition to the trout ponds, there is also a pond where carp can be caught and a great advantage for those who want to 'swing pap'. The surroundings are picturesque and the animals on the grounds which give it a farm atmosphere make it very special. The staff were all very friendly and there was a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. The grounds were also very neat and well maintained.

The Kingfisher Country Cottages & Trout Lodge het al ons verwagtinge oortref! Ons was opsoek na 'n rustige plek waar ons kan ontspan en herlaai. The Kingfisher Country Cottages & Trout Lodge was presies wat ons nodig gehad het! Ons kon nie opgekyk raak aan die ongelooflike uitsigte en landskappe nie en die rustigheid is is aanvoelbaar.

Management welcomed us with super friendly service and gave us a tour before checking in. The service received was out of this world! Would definitely recommend to anyone, wanting to get out of the city to enjoy a peaceful experience and great views. Good for couples or families and caters for all your needs. Would be seeing us again soon!

Baie lekker!

Was heerlik om in die huidige situasie waarin ons tans verkeer net te ontspan en bietjie te vergeet van alles. Het baie gestap, na die waterval gegaan en net alles in die natuur geniet. Die ontvangs en vriendelikheid van die personeel was baie goed. Laat mens voel asof jy familie is. Sal vir seker weer gaan.

Very nice!

It was wonderful to just relax and forget about everything a little in the current situation we are currently in. Did a lot of walking, went to the waterfall and just enjoyed everything in nature. The reception and friendliness of the staff was very good. Makes you feel like you are family. Will go again for sure.

A piece of paradise off the beaten track!

It was the first time we visited this establishment so I was not sure what to expect. I booked it based on the good reviews I saw. The reviews were accurate in describing the standard of the establishment in that it was peaceful, clean and good value for money. When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised at the beauty and tranquillity of the place. The owners were super friendly and helpful and the lodge was well equipped and clean. All in all it was a great stay, made so much more memorable given that I caught 7 trout in one afternoon. Baie dankie julle.

Uitstekende fasiliteite en baie gesellige atmosfeer in die restourant.

Ons Paasnaweek het wonderlik verloop deur Kingfisher as ons basis te gebruik vir die rondkuier tussen al die omliggende dorpe. Dit was baie lekker om ook die restourant te gebruik vir al die etes wat ons nie self versorg het nie. Ek glo indien ons wou visvang sou die naweek selfs beter gewees het! Ons sal Kingfisher met gemak aanbeveel vir enigiemand wat tussen Machadodorp en Waterval Boven wil oorbly en ons sal definitief weer daar aandoen. Volpunte aan Elsabe, Vic, Cathryn, Gary en Tom vir die uitstekende gasvryheid. Ek is spyt dat ons nie eers tyd gehad het om die waterval te sien nie en sal definitief terugkeer daarvoor.

Excellent facilities and very cozy atmosphere in the restaurant.

Our Easter weekend was wonderful using Kingfisher as our base for touring all the surrounding towns. It was very nice to also use the restaurant for all the meals that we did not take care of ourselves. I believe if we wanted to fish the weekend would have been even better! We would easily recommend Kingfisher to anyone looking to stay between Machadodorp and Waterval Boven and we would definitely stay there again. Full marks to Elsabe, Vic, Cathryn, Gary and Tom for the excellent hospitality. I regret that we didn't even have time to see the waterfall and will definitely return for that.

Hemels in die natuur met die vriendelikste mense en met pragtige, netjiese, skoon verblyf.

Ons is baie spesiaal en vriendelik ontvang. Alles is aan ons verduidelik hoe dinge werk by The Kingfisher. Verblyf gereed met die nodige hout by jou kaggel en braai. Die wonderlikste van die naweek is die eerlikheidsboek wat ingevul word deur jouself indien jy enige iets uit die winkel neem of by die kroeg geniet. Het altyd van sulke plekke gehoor, maar dit hier ervaar. Zirkea en Gary was die naweek aan diens. Vriendeliker twee mense sal jy nie kry nie. Hulle het lekker saam met ons die rugby gekyk. Die sjef het vir ons hoender op die spit voorgesit wat heerlik was. Almal wat daar tuisgegaan het Saterdagaand het lekker saam gekuier. Die hooflodge is pragtig met sy restaurant en kuierarea. Ek was bevoorreg om 'n hele paar Forelle te kon vang nadat Zirkea vir my die geluk gebring het. Ons het as vreemdeling gegaan, maar kan jou verseker ons het soos deel van die familie gevoel toe ons moet teruggaan. Baie dankie aan al die personeel van die lodge wat jou altyd op jou gemak laat voel het. Ons het 'n baie spesiale naweek by julle deurgebring en ons sal enige iemand aanbeveel om julle lodge te besoek. Niks is vir die gasvrouens en gashere te veel nie. Ons bespreek binnekort weer om ons kinders te gaan wys die hemel bestaan wel op die aarde. Nogmaals dankie en sterkte. Sien binnekort weer.

We received a very special and friendly welcome. Everything was explained to us how things work at The Kingfisher. Stay ready with the necessary wood for your fireplace and barbecue. The most wonderful thing about the weekend is the honesty book that is filled in by yourself if you take anything from the shop or enjoy it at the bar. Always heard of such places, but experienced it here. Zirkea and Gary were on duty this weekend. You will not find friendlier two people. They enjoyed watching the rugby with us. The chef served us chicken on the spit which was delicious. Everyone who went home on Saturday night had a good time together. The main lodge is beautiful with its restaurant and lounge area. I was fortunate to be able to catch quite a few Trout after Zirkea brought me the luck. We went as strangers, but can assure you we felt like part of the family when we had to go back. Many thanks to all the staff of the lodge who always made you feel at ease. We spent a very special weekend with you and we would recommend anyone to visit your lodge. Nothing is too much for the hostesses and hosts. We will discuss again soon to show our children that heaven does exist on earth. Thanks again and good luck. See you again soon.

Asemrowend skoonheid met huislike, maar tog professionele gasvryheid.

Pragtige natuur skoon met 'n pragtige waterval. Verblyf baie netjies met vars skoon linne ten volle toegerus. Uitsig asemrowend. Baie natuurlewe en uitstekende voëllewe. Pragtige veld plantjies en blommetjies. Mooi goed onderhoude damme. So veel pragtige foto-geleentheid. Heerlike, smaaklike kos van restaurant. Beslis waarde vir geld. Absolute onverbeterlike gasvryheid. 'n Besliste gunsteling rustige, stil stukkie hemel op aarde.

Wat 'n wonderlike ervaring om te kon deel in die pragtige natuurskoon. Zirki en Elsabe se gasvryheid het ons kuiertjie nog meer spesiaal gemaak, ons is absoluut op ons hande gedra. Dit was wonderlik om omring te wees deur soveel skoonheid en prag en die warm gasvryheid te kon ervaar. Ons sal beslis weer gaan.

Stukkie paradys binne gerieflike bereik van GP met ongelooflike gasvrygeid en goeie diens! Sommer dadelik tuis gevoel!

Die asemrowende natuurskoon, vars lug en rustigheid was genesend! Die nuwe eienaars se passie en entoesiasme trek deur na hul omgee en gasvryheid. Beslis 'n paradys waarheen ons weer wil gaan. Die akkommodasie en geriewe is pas oorgedoen en baie keurig gedoen. Die chalets is puik, skoon, netjies, gediens en volledig toegerus. Die foreldamme is vol en die toerusting te huur in 'n goeie toestand. Visvang is ook beskikbaar vir die kinders in die "papgooi-dam". Pure plaasatmosfeer met beeste, skape, donkies, ganse, honde en wild. Die perdestal is reeds gebou! Die lodge is ook hondvriendelik! Beslis die moeite werd! Hoogs aanbeveelbaar!

Piece of paradise within convenient reach of GP with incredible hospitality and good service! Just felt at home right away!

The breathtaking scenery, fresh air and tranquility was healing! The new owners' passion and enthusiasm extends to their care and hospitality. Definitely a paradise we want to go to again. The accommodation and facilities have just been redone and very nicely done. The chalets are great, clean, tidy, serviced and fully equipped. The trout ponds are full and the equipment for rent in good condition. Fishing is also available for the children in the "pap gooi dam". Pure farm atmosphere with cattle, sheep, donkeys, geese, dogs and game. The horse stable is already built! The lodge is also dog friendly! Definitely worth it! Highly recommendable!

You don't have to be a fisherman to enjoy this little piece of paradise!

From the time we arrived until we left, we were living in a dream. The setting is out of this world and caters for fishermen and "others" to the full. Gary and Zirkea made us feel at home and nothing was too much trouble for them. Tom (chef) prepared a trout meal for us and even took it upon himself to clean all the fish that I caught. Apart from the four trout dams there is also a "wild" dam teeming with juvenile full-scale carp. The waterfall walk is also a must and doesn't require any extraordinary fitness level. The close proximity to Jozie also makes this place attractive for weekend getaways. I will be back during the year for a "boys'' fishing break. Keep those dams stocked, you guys. Good idea to check before you go, whether "catch and keep" is in force due to hot weather! Good luck with all your ideas and plans to uplift the property to increase our comfort.

Baie dankie Blackie en Karin, vir die terugvoering. Ons waardeer dit sommer baie.

Dit was baie lekker om julle te ontmoet, en ons hoop ons sien julle sommer weer gou.

Die visvang het net beter geword, na julle ongelukkig klaar weg was, en Thomas die chef)moes hulle of bak, of skoonmaak vir die gaste om huis toe te vat. Daar was 17 in totaal gevang net na julle weg was.

Net jammer Blackie het nie een gevang nie. Volgende keer

Groete
