Lemoenfontein

A lovely week yet again at Lemoensfontein. We come to relax, read, sit by the pool and enjoy the beautiful peaceful atmosphere and surroundings. We love the wonderfully big views of the Karoo and marvellous home cooking served elegantly and with smiles on the big veranda as the sun is setting….magical! The staff make you feel very special. We have stayed every year for many years on our annual road trip in South Africa and look forward to many more.

Lovely lodge, lovely views, lovely people and friendly cats! This is Africa as I want it to be. The meals were excellent and we enjoyed our chats with the staff. Be sure to pick a room with a view. We really enjoyed our three day, peaceful stay - thank you. The Karoo NP is accessible from the lodge.

I seldom write reviews but I spend a lot of time travelling for work and pleasure and I feel moved to do so now due to Lemoenfontein being such a special place for good service internationally, something to be proud of. My husband and I needed a place to break our journey and it all worked seamlessly. We booked through *********** and immediately received direct correspondence from the managers. They were responsive and flexible as well as personable. When we parked, we were met by a delightful employee who showed us to our cottage so that saved us having to park at the end of a long trip and find reception and then re-park once we'd found our accomodation. He helped us unpack and also offered to get us a bucket of ice so we did not need to go ourselves to the honesty bar (a delightful experience in itself, I recollect from previous trips) and could rather immediately sit outside to see in the last of the new year with a drink to hand with a view over the Karoo that surely cannot be rivalled. Cottages are cleverly appointed to all have their own private views of the escarpment. We left early the following morning and did not need to waste time checking out. We were immediately WhatsApped and emailed with any queries or comments we wanted to make and I thought it was phenomenal service all round. We will be back and stay longer next time.

Really relaxing stay. Friendly and attentive staff. Excellent game drives and information. The rooms are really nice - good AC. We think the dinner is just OK - quite expensive and does not match the high quality of the service and accommodation.

The room was comfortable and spacious. The food was adequate, but the dinner especially was completely overpriced and average. Their honesty bar is a great concept, but again overpriced compared to others on our recent trip. We would think twice about staying here again.

What a fabulous experience it was to stay at Lemoenfontein Game Lodge, which was originally built in 1850 by an English gentleman as a hunting lodge. It was recommended by friends and it did not disappoint. Our room was large, comfortable and had the original flooring and fireplace. The staff were great and so was the food.
