Gooderson Kloppenheim Country Estate ★★★★

"Needs an update on the whole property. Rooms were comfy and clean. Food was quite disappointing. Not worth the expense many other 4 star places would be."

Cinzaco Dullstroom ★★★★

"A lovely town, we were pleasantly surprised, as it was our first day in South Africa. It was a great place to start our trip. The hotel was excellent, and the owner was always helpful with our questions. I highly recommend it."

Walkersons Hotel & Spa ★★★★★

"This has been our second time here and o would keep coming back time after time. The accommodation is five star along with the staff. However, the food is six Star."

Wayside Lodge ★★

"What a comfortable and relaxed place to stay over on your way to Kruger. Very friendly and accommodating staff. They provide a full on braai at reasonable prices. The well stocked bar is full of character. All this at reasonable prices. The only negative is the sound of trucks rumbling by on the N4."

Hoyohoyo Machadostud Lodge ★★★

Dunkeld East Hotel ★★★★

"My husband and I haven’t had any breaks in 2024, so we decided to spoil ourselves with luxury breakaway at ‘luxury’ accommodation in Dullstroom for a romantic long weekend. We booked out a day earlier - need I say more? The pin on Google maps took us on a very dodgy, dark road that didn’t even lead to the accommodation, but rather deep into the woods. If we weren’t in a 4x4 there would have been severe damage to the tyres and shocks. When we arrived at the premises, the gate was locked (this was around 7pm), with a handwritten note on a wet paper saying ‘please call me’ and an illegible number. Eventually the guard came to the gate to open up after being away from his post for who knows why. The staff were uninterested in serving us and the general manager was on leave over a busy long weekend. The cleaning lady asked us to leave our room key with her to clean during the day while we were out in town (leaving all out valuables and personal items in our room). In effect this meant that we had a dirty room for 4 days, as we refused to leave our key with staff. The general dining area is aesthetically beautiful, but the staff played loud (non-tranquil) music during dinner and breakfast, spoiling the serene atmosphere one would hope for in an establishment like this. All in all, our experience was far below the expectation created by a 4-star boutique hotel and we decided to go home earlier, as it was cleaner, more pleasant and more comfortable than Dunkeld East Hotel."

Elandskloof Trout Farm ★★

"Excellent venue for trout fishing. Been there twice. This time however a cold front took fish of the bite. The chalets are excellent equipped and very cosy once the fire is burning. The dams are on your front stoep and the staff extremely friendly. Please is well kept and well looked after. Wifi and TV is not up to scratch as signal is dropped non stop and it is an effort to watch anything or to use the internet."

Dunkeld Country & Equestrian Estate ★★★

"Very disappointing. I found it actually depressing. The entrance is stunning as you drive through a beautiful forest area, and that's about where the joy ends. Its all face brick, dull , cold and old. We stayed in the new area, but the directions and map there are really difficult to follow. Thank God we needed to find our room in the daylight. Very badly signposted and unkept roads. Our room, we needed to share the kitchen lounge area, with other guests, no tea, coffee, milk or water in the rooms. The vibe was just off for me."

Fox & Squirrel ★★★★

"Stunning view of the dam and mountain here. Dorothy is also the sweetest lady. Amazing leather shop in the area and great food at Vine eatery"
