    Kiara Lodge is a beautiful and peaceful getaway, perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. The surroundings are serene, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. The lodge is clean and well-maintained, making it a lovely place to unwind. When we arrived, the TV wasn’t working, but it was fixed by the second night and we only stayed for 2 nights in total. It would have been nice to have a small gesture to make up for the inconvenience, especially as we had an older guest with us who couldn’t do much else. Most activities come at an additional cost, but overall, it’s a wonderful and refreshing escape from the city.

Rooms: Lovely room with a huge en-suite bathroom and a fireplace. Nearby activities: An onsite gym offers a great variety - first experience with a self powered treadmill. We had a massage at the spa and it was one of the best I've had. Safety: Very safe. Walkability: You park and walk everywhere. Food & drinks: Delicious and unusual lamb curry pizza - definitely worth a try.

    Great place to relax & get away from the city life. It's about 1 hour drive from Bergview & about 15m drive from town. Nice facilities and activities for everyone regardless of age. Splash pools for toddlers, slides for kids. This is in a heated indoor pool. Games room for kids & adults which includes table soccer, pool table, table tennis, mini jungle gym (for toddlers), arcade games. Outdoor play area includes swings, trampolines and much more. The hiking trails are moderate, if you are a beginner this could be a minor problem at times. There were lots of other activities available: gorge swing, archery, pedal, tennis, quad biking & put put (mini golf). Also a day spa on site. The restaurant have great food, especially the breakfast waffle (with scrambled eggs, bacon and mushrooms). Service at the restaurant needs a little work. We had to request things that should have been brought with the meal. One day syrup was given with the meal and another day ni syrup (The waffle supposed to come standard with the meal). Overall a nice relaxing weekend. Will definitely go back Rooms: We stayed in a private room which was suitable for myself and I. The room had a queen sized bed, TV, small kitchen (including fridge/freezer combo, Gas stove, microwave, kettle & sink), fire place. Nearby activities: Lots of activities on site. Quad biking, fishing, put put (mini golf), archery, indoor heated pool, games room (toddler jungle gym), pool table, soccer table, table soccer, arcade games. Outdoor play ground

    Kiara Lodge nestles in the spectacular Golden Gate Park. The timeshare units are extremely comfortable and beautifully serviced. The staff are exceptional and the location like no other. A mere stone's throw from clarens and the beautiful kgodumodumo dinosaur centre. An ideal location to unwind and perhaps even include in your itinerary a visit to Lionsrock sanctuary for big cats near Bethlehem. A real home away from home. Make the time to rejuvenate your soul at kiara!

    At our beautiful chalet, time stood still. No really the big clock on the wall wasn't working. We really enjoyed our time here. Loads to do. My favourite especially was the oil fondue at the restaurant. Such a fun experience. We also enjoyed time at the dam and bunnies. The only thing I wish for was proper bowls. We had plastic bowls in our unit. Not a big fan of the plastics. Other than that fireplace was great everything else too.

    What an epic get away. Such a beautiful location! JR Tolkien who wrote Lord of the Rings would visit the Golden Gate area when he was a kid. He got a lot of inspiration here and I can understand why. Such beautiful mountains and landscapes one can stare out into the distance all day. Kiara lodge staff are incredibly helpful and I can’t say enough about Danie the manager. Always making sure we were looked after and had all our needs met. They have a tennis court and even have a Padel court which we enjoyed. The Body Bliss spa was a highlight for me. What a treat. The room was warm and the massage was delightful. They have wonderful amenities for the kids as well as an indoor waterpark! The kids are already asking when we can come back. I can highly recommend Kiara Lodge!

    An amazing lodge located in the heart of the mountains. Amazing views all round with facilities to keep the entire family entertained. There is a great restaurant on site with fair prices. Rooms: Our room had a main bedroom with a private bathroom. There was a second room with 2 3/4 beds. There was a bathroom, lounge and kitchen as well.

    Great facility, very professionally run. Rooms are clean and spacious. If you have an infant, a cot is provided upon request. The pool area is to die for especially in winter with the 2 Jacuzzis. The kids' play area is well kept and spacious enough for smaller and older kids. Service is top-notch, room service daily. Clean linen daily. Overall, it was a great vacation! Safety: Very safe, and friendly staff. Walkability: Great hiking spots. Food & drinks: Be sure to bring your own food as the shop inside is a bit on the expensive side. There's a restaurant on site for those days or nights you wish to relax.

    I forfeited my fee for archery + paintball because LEAP doesn't operate on Fridays. I. didn't know that, and no one told me before I made the booking. I only found out on the day. The rooms were OK, 3 out of 5. The staff was generally helpful. Obviously, some staff were friendlier than others. Pool was great. The gym was small but I was happy that it was there and it was clean, 4 out of 5. The location amazing, the views are out of this world. Rooms: They were OK. Secpic tank was not clean. Water was brown after flushing. Rooms were clean. Great room service. Fire place + air con 👌🏽 Nearby activities: Couldn't enjoy them. Safety: I felt safe the whole time. Walkability: Very. Food & drinks: Expensive but available.. Noteworthy details: Don't expect to be informed about the place or activities. You have to make sure to ask and double-check before and after booking.

    An absolute stunner of a place. A great family resort with lots to do. Very scenic, almost like you're submerged in nature. We are definitely coming back. There's mini golf, a restaurant on site, kids play area, hammocks, a dam where you can fish, onsite store off site adventures, the list goes on and on. It is totally worth the drive especially from Jhb. We left in a rush and forgot things there and the staff put everything together and we organised the courier.

    The hiking trails were my favorite with the amazing views and a waterfall. Our unit was so close to the playground and everything else. My 6 year old was so excited that there was so much to do. Everything was in excellent condition. We had dinner at the restaurant and took pizza to our room one night after many hours in the heated pool. We also did the Cathedral cave hike which was incredible( we were lucky as 30 April was the last day, opens in October), which was so close the Kiara lodge. We loved the location.

    Kiara Lodge really exceeded my expectation. Room was comfy and was very surprised with the sleeper-couches. The shower was excellent, loved the shower head and water pressure. Facilities in great condition and my daughter loved the indoor pool. We enjoyed the short hikes and wish we had time to do the longer ones. The restaurant food is excellent, especially the prawn casserole, yum yum!! Went for a spa and it was exceptional. Thanks for great service!!

    The wifi at the house 33C is not at all great, but everything else was wonderful. I highly recommend checking this place out, but if you want better wifi, I'd ask the staff beforehand. Nearby activities: There is daily activities, almost all of it for children under the age of 12, but bingo is nice (for all ages). There's a pool and putt putt and a lounge for people over 21 years old to just relax or work if needed. The game rooms alright, but the lounge is better. Safety: You feel comfortable and safe here. Walkability: Everything is really close and it's wheel chair friendly. Food & drinks: It's delicious. Some food is expensive, but then again, it's kinda what you'd expect. Noteworthy details: The Slides at the pool are only for children under the age of 12.

The views are absolutely stunning and we really enjoyed the hike around the dam with the views of the mountain. Would definitely recommend a stay at Kiara Lodge😊😊 Rooms: The rooms are beautiful and clean. We appreciated the staff that always left our room beautifully clean each morning. Walkability: There are plenty of places to walk around just in the lodge itself. With the hikes as well as around to the pools and restaurants. We could easily spend the whole day just in the lodge
