SpionKop Lodge

Room clean and comfortable. Wonderful, efficient and accommodating staff. Well worth the overnight stay.

Fantastic stay here while visiting the Boer war sites in the area with Raymond. The premises is a renovated historic farm from the war era, retaining as much of the original detail as possible. The bar is cosy and reeks of history while the dining area is a modern addition. I stayed in the old house, which has been converted into a number of en-suite bedrooms. Nature surrounds you in the beautiful grounds and the staff were friendly and attentive. Meals were simple but filling and fantastic. Raymond is incredibly knowledgeable and the tours he gives are full of expert detail. Although I had read a number of books about the war, actually visiting the sites on and around this property really brought home the tragedy and futility of the events. Thanks to Raymond and the staff for looking after me and showing me around!

It was quiet and just what we wanted. Food options were good. Great service from the staff.

Room was clean, spacious, and quiet. Restaurant food is very good. We had breakfast (included) and dinner (E295pp for 3 course set menu). The grounds are beautiful with several cows roaming around. The drive up to reception is quite long (felt like about 2-3km) but don’t worry, you’re on the right track! You’ll meet several cows on that road too so don’t go too fast! Overall an idyllic setting.
