  12 August 2019

  "Its a most convenient place, however our stay was spoilt by not having anything but a trickle of water in the bathroom in the morning before we left. I reported to reception who said someone would be sent but an hour later when we left no one had come...."

• "Clean, quite - lovely Place to be"

  "The Chalet was very clean and the space is enough for 2 Persons"

• "Convenient"

  06 August 2018

  "Originally wanted 2 luxury rooms but Lodge could only give us 2 Business chalets. They are adequate for a nights stay before or after a visit to Kgalagadi. Wouldn't want to stay in them for more than one night. The room is open plan including the shower & basin (Loo is private). Room had 2 single beds, bedside tables, lamps etc. No extra blankets and when asked I was told they only had duvets. It was a very cold night but there is an aircon so at least you can warm up that way. Electric blankets or any blanket would be nice. There's a fridge & kettle in the room and they give you a pack of instant coffee, tea bags etc when you book in. There is a stoep (verandah) with 2 chairs & table and an area where you can prep food with a sink as well. Round the corner from the chalets is a braai areaWe ate at the restaurant that night and food was very good. The calamari is possibly the best I've tasted. My husband said the skaap stertjies (A Kalahari delicacy of lambs tails)are also very good. For ,Mains 3 of us opted for steaks which were also good as was the curry.Breakfast was adequate but not too keen on the sausage choice of russian or wors.The shop is well stocked with a choice of fresh veg & fruit, cheeses, butter etc as well as tinned goods, rice, mealie meal etc so if you've forgotten anything before entering the Park you can stock up there. There was also a freezer full of lamb & game meat. Ice & firewood tooAll in all a pleasant but cold stay. We would stay at the Lodge again but would definitely book the self catering chalets on top of the dune (which we went & looked at in the morning) instead of the business chalets at the bottom."

• "Efficient starting point for the National Park"

  14 June 2018

  "The hotel is conveniently located just a few km before the Tweerivieren entry, on a dune overlooking the road. Nice sunrise!Take care when arriving late: the reception and the restaurant close pretty early. Two downsides: the hotel is rather new (which is OK for the rooms) and has a restaurant without ambiance. Which leads to the second point: loud music... in such a tranquile setting! Pity."

• "Convenience & Comfort"

  09 June 2018

  "We spent 2 nights here recently as we could not get accommodation in the Kgalagadi Park. We found the staff to be very friendly & efficient & we were most fortunte to be upgraded to a lovely 2 bedroomed unit on the hill. The view from these cottages is lovely & is very peaceful rural scene. The cottages are very well stocked for self catering & we even found a lovely coffee machine available, some olive oil & salt & pepper, The little shop is very well stocked with lovely fresh bread, groceries, some fresh fruit & veg.We ate at the restaurant one evening. The menu is very simple & my husband enjoyed his chicken schnitzel. However I ordered pizza & the dough was so tough I could not eat it. Most disappointing & still charged for it.I would recommend a stay here to anyone looking for clean, comfortable accommodation.Wifi is available at the shop."

• "Kgalagadi Lodge Stay"

  27 February 2017

  "We booked in on the 19th of Feb 2017 (3 chalets). Our stay was very unpleasant. There was a power outage which meant that the units were without power. Although the main building had a back-up supply, the chalets were without power for the duration of our stay. No attempt was made to refund our money or make our stay any more comfortable. Management appeared to run away from the problem."

• "A Great place to stay!"

  21 October 2016

  "Sadly, we only spent one night here. Next time it will be longer, as it makes a perfect jump-off point to the Kgalagadi.<br/>These units have been carefully thought out, with every attention given to detail. <br/>The staff are fabulous & friendly & the food is excellent @ the Restaurant, next to the great pool area.<br/>We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!<br/>Many thanks<br/>Colleen & Howard Kerr<br/>Cape Town<br/>"

• "clean and cool"

  27 February 2016

• "Three nights as Kgalagadi Lodge"

  27 February 2016

  "An excellent choice if you want to lengthen your stay in the park by making day visits (only really worth it if you have a Wild Card). We really enjoyed our stay. The shop is stocked with everything you could possibly need in the park, the view fromthe chalets is peaceful, and particularly our 2nd stay, when we were upgraded to a Luxury chalet was great. Not that I didn't rather enjoy my outside kitchen in the standard chalet. The management and staff very friendly and welcoming."

• "Uitstekend"

  19 August 2015

  "Ons het vir 6 aande by Kgalagadi-Lodge gekamp. Ons (privaat) badkamer is daagliks skoongemaak en nuwe toiletpapier uitgesit; selfs die skottelgoedjies wat ons vir later gelos het, is gewas. Die winkel met sy groot verskeidenheid, asook die bakkery wat daagliks heerlike varsgebak voorsien, was 'n groot bonus. Ons het heerlik gekamp en sal jul enige tyd aanbeveel; jul standaard is hoog en jul bied SO baie, teen baie billik. Jul staan kop en skouers uit bo die Park. Mooi so!"

  "Very convenient overnight stop before entering the Park. Chalets clean. Gorgeous view over the dunes. Shop facility and pool very handy to have on site.
