Food was good by

The lodge is poorly designed, has minimal lighting in both the public area and tiny bedrooms, no electrical points in the rooms, no kettle for early morning coffee, dirty shower, no electric blankets or hot water bottles (freezing temperatures). The food, however, was good.

Establishment Response:

Our rooms have enough space for a comfortable stay and experience, apart from the bed/s in each room we have two comfortable chairs and other furniture evenly spaced. There are three electrical points in each room, two for the bed lamps and one for hair drying etc. We fill a thermal flask with boiling water late at night and it can then be used for early morning tea/coffee. We have two hotwater bottles available for each room. We invested a lot of money in the past month or two to ensure there are ample lights and power in the rooms and other areas. We tested LED lights and will change back to ordinary energy-saving lights. The slow draining shower pipe was attended to. We get a lot of happy returning guests and accommodate gliders each year that stay with us from a week up to a month.



What a visit by

I had a good time, food was excellent and all and all, it was a good experience. Like they say and so true - for peace and quiet. "Die wild langs die lodge was ook 'n belewenis."

Raptor review by

As the Lodge operates only from solar heating there is no heating or hot water facilities in the rooms - this was not clear when I booked.

Raptor Ridge Lodge by

The water supply for showering is pathetic and one can hardly shower. Otherwise very pleasant.
