OUR CLIENTS SAY

  • A Heartfelt Thank You to Sarah Clark for check in on us on arrival and during our stay when a storm hit, she make sure all your needs are fulfilled. From the Complimentary Bottle of Bubbly, the dough in the fridge to make your first night a breeze, so delicious. You definitely need a 4x4 but our 2x4 made it as well. The View.....incredible and private. The luxury Tent, the hot tub, the Boma everything made our anniversary a romantic memory. Thank You Sarah and Team!!

  • We had a lovely Stay at Wolwekrans, Sarah and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The view we had and woke up to was absolutely beautiful. The wood fired hot tub a very cozy plus when the chilly wind was blowing. But be sure to light the fire for the tub soon as it takes a while to get hot. Will definitely recommend it and be back to visit again soon! A high ground clearance vehicle is a definite but the 2x4 drove the road up the mountain just fine.

  • We loved it at Wolwekrans Eco Lodge! The views are amazing and we had total privacy at our chalet. We went during the week so needed to be in contact with work etc and the Vodacom signal at the chalet was very good. The drive up the mountain is steep and you definitely need a high clearance vehicle.

  • 4x2 vehicle a must to access the lodge. Absolutely fantastic if you want to be close to nature! The bread dough and the “varkie” oven was a treat! Will definitely go again! The chalet is clean and very well equipped.

  • Thank you Sarah from Wolwekrans! It was such a pleasure booking through you. Such clear and thorough communication from the day of booking till we departed. And so willing to answer all our questions. Loved the privacy, the amazing views and the walking trails. And the bread dough and varkie is such a wonderful idea. Will definitely recommend Wolwekrans to all our friends. Oh and the hot tub was very soothing after the Mountain trail. A wonderful place to relax and switch off completely!

  • It was such a nice break from the noise of the city. Daniel and Sarah was absolutely amazing and communication with them both was so easy and convenient. We were able to get hold of them at anytime and they responded within seconds. We really appreciate everything they did to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Getting up the mountain was very tough. We appreciate Daniel being there to guide us up and down. ONLY USE A 4X4.

  • Absolutely magnificent place to connect with nature (and yourself) - rooms are spacious, kitchen well equipped and the hot tub is stunning. We made use of it almost all night long under the stars. 4x4 needed to climb up the mountain!

  • Wolwekrans is a truly magical place! The road up is an adventure in itself requiring a 4x4 or high clearance vehicle and a sense of adventure. Once you arrive at your well appointed chalet you are greated by breathtaking views and immediately begin to unwind and relax. The cottages, although basic, are well equipped and comfortable. Evenings are spent around the fire before a piping hot shower and a comfortable bed with clean, crisp linen. Mornings are started over a cup of coffee before undertaking one of the few scenic hikes or just relaxing in a hammock and taking in the views. There are a few things to do in the area but because of accessibility, Wolwekraans is best enjoyed as a night or two's stop over just to relax and recharge.

  • Peace, tranquility and beauty - Wolwekrans has it all. The chalet is beautifully decorated, and beds very comfy. We loved being completely off the grid, and yet you still had everything you’d treasure on a chilly evening- hot water, solar lights, fireplace and braai areas. We enjoyed our evenings around the fire pit, using the “Varkie” to make delicious bread. While the kids spent hours in the hammocks stargazing. This place is a true getaway where you leave feeling refreshed but wishing you could’ve stayed longer. Communication with management was fantastic and very well organised.

  • Wolvekrans is an absolutely MAGICAL place. The cabins are lovely and spacious, with glorious mountain views in all directions. They kitchen well stocked with all the utensils plates, cups etc we needed. The beds are divine and the linen is deliciously soft. The outdoor seating area is big and has loads of options to sit and take in the breath taking view of the mountains. We used the fire pit boma both nights we were there, and the view of the sky,stars and mountain are also spectacular from the back. The double shower with glass Mountain View.. well that was winner for us! The photos just simply do not do this place justice. The hammocks o were great fun and The water from the fresh spring and absolutely delicious! I wish we could have brought it home! We opted for the fountain hike, it was the right choice for us. The hike ends at a beautiful spot in the Forrest with a fresh river running over the rocks and a little picnic area to sit at. The hike is not strenuous and gave us loads of time to look and feel the Flora of the mountain as well as the views of the mountain and sky. Wolvekrans has captured the enormity of the mountain that you are on as well as its surroundings, helping you feel part of the land, but also able to feel such enormous gratitude to be literally - high up on the side of the mountain!. Sarah and Daniel were both brilliant. Daniel picked us up as we left our car at the bottom of the mountain and Sarah took us down. Both himself and Sarah know the road so well and I’m glad we opted for that option. It really is a mountain pass 4x4 style. In my opinion, leave your car at the bottom and let the journey up and down be a part of the experience. The road is quite scary even for the “advanced 4x4ies”. We chatted with Sarah on WhatsApp, getting us some more firewood and kindly lent us binoculars for the weekend. So the communication was nice and easy. These mountains are truly magical and we were so blessed to have experienced this beautiful place. We can’t wait to go back for another scream into the mountains ⛰️❤️!
