基拉維恩環保小屋

Een fantastische ervaring !!! Prachtige ruime lodges in de natuur , geen wifi , even helemaal tot rust komen. De lodge is ruim met heerlijke bedden. Zeer vriendelijke eigenaren , behulpzaam en geïnteresseerd. We verbleven een lang weekend met familie en we hebben genoten. Je kan prachtige wandelingen in de buurt maken , de spa boeken of gewoon lekker even niks doen en genieten van de rust en de stilte

This retreat has clearly seen better days and is in dire need of a re-fresh. The carpet tiles from the 70ies and the grandma furniture add to the gloom of the dark huts and so our stay didn’t feel luxurious at all. It was also unclear to us what is meant by “environmental”. Certainly not the introduced deer, goats and Guinea Fowl, some of whom roam freely across the property. The huts are badly insulated, so the fireplace is much needed on a cold night. Also strangely, we had troubles booking for the length we wanted, but when we got there there was only one other party and the other 13 huts were empty. We tried to go for a few walks on the property, but they are badly signposted and overgrown. Not to mention the random rubbish like pipes and abandoned vehicles along the way. On the plus side, it is very quiet and there were roos aplenty on the lawn.

Benga and Paul were so welcoming and attentive and their love of the place shone through. I took my extended family to Giraween Lodge for my dads 80th and the cabins were very comfortable, with everything considered - fire was ready for us to light on arrival, all the things we needed such as salt and pepper, coffee machine, blankets, heater, torches etc. and walking distance to the national park! No mobile reception (except at reception) was such a blessing - no anxiety about having to reply to texts and just switched off and enjoyed being in the present with my family. Baby goats were born just before our arrival (so cute) and wallabies and variety of birds all over the property, plus Dawn the deer who follows you around 😄. Will be coming back for sure
