READ WHAT

OUR CLIENTS SAY

  • Our second visit to Wolwekrans was well worth the challenging drive up the mountain. We woke up to the cries of fish eagles, followed by the barking of baboons in the forest below our chalet. The views from the chalet perched on the edge of the mountain high above the forest, is unbelieveable. This hidden gem in Schoemanskloof is the perfect family destination. We heard that guided horse riding trails are planned, which is really great news!

  • One of the absolutely most beautiful places in South Africa. Highly recommended. Quiet and calm, we had a feeling we were the only one there the whole weekend, even tho 2 more families were staying at the same time.

The rocky gravel road up the mountain and the chalets with it’s simplicity makes this a very special place to visit. We enjoyed the hiking and the pure clean mountain water.

The scenery is MORE than beautiful,with waterfalls and also a pool that looks out on the beauty that surrounds you. Everywhere you look is beautiful!

  • We had an awesome time at Wolwekrans Eco Lodge. One of our best holidays yet! The chalet’s are well designed, with spectacular views! There’s great hiking trails on the farm with one leading to the peak of the mountain adjacent to a waterfall, with breathtaking views! The farm foreman and his wife are also very kind and caring people, going the extra mile to ensure you feel welcome during your stay! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone in need of a break! We will most certainly come back again! 10/10

  • Firstly you need a 4x4 as the 4km dirt road is not suitable for a normal small car. Our Luxury Tent Chalet was absolutely fantastic. Clean, neat and tidy. Anything that you need is in the kitchen, with a build in braai, big fridge, fully stocked ice and also dough if you would like to make your own bread. There is a a fountain hike where you can sit & enjoy the natural spring fountain water and braai area. Thank you team for this amazing gem 💎 we had an excellent time and experience. We celebrated our 1 year anniversary and wouldn't have done it anywhere else.

  • Very nice ambience, family friendly and superb views. The “Varkie” and dough in the fridge was very special and the best bread ever😄 I would highly recommend this little piece of heaven. Very friendly management who went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Will defenitely visit again and again.
