"We stayed here 5 and 6 September 2015. This was our first visit to Clanwilliam. The overall look of the lodge is ok, but definitely dated. There is a seating area just past reception that looks very beautiful. We stayed in the family room number 33. I got the feeling that this is the room they give to families with small children so other guest doesn't get disturbed. It is completely at the back of the lodge next to the staff quarters. Terrible, terrible, terrible!!! The room has 3 beds scattered around a very large room. Nothing even matches. Carpet is full of stains. The television is an old box television that doesn't even work properly. Towels are very old and they didn't even supply bathrobes. The room was clean but had a mould smell. Bathroom was very basic and looked dated. Again it was at least clean. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Especially the barman. Swimming Pool look very beautiful with day beds. Loved spending time here. Restaurant: Food is ok and prices are very cheap but very limited choice. They have coffee, juice, cold meat, cheese, cereal, bread, fruit and yogurt available buffet style in the morning followed by a served hot breakfast. Each time we arrived for breakfast the fruit, cold meat and juice was finished and they obviously don't refill. The served hot breakfast was nice. Liked the omelettes. Lucky for us we made a booking through SafariNow and whoever did the quotation, gave us a wrong rate at a much cheaper price. Thank heavens for that because this place is definitely not worth its asking price. I thought the discounted price that we accidently got is still too much for this place. Will definitely not be staying here again."

"My husband and I stayed at the Clanwilliam Lodge from 25 - 27 January 2013. Despite reading negative reviews on the internet, we had a wonderful time and enjoyed the lovely room and pool fully. The room and bathroom were furnished beautifully and extremely clean and modern. The pool area was lovely with plenty of relaxing beds with canopies. We have no complaints about the breakfast we ate there as we did not go looking for faults. The staff were friendly and helpful and we will definitely go back."

"Very nice setting. Friendly and helpful staff. Had a great time."


"Slight disappointment"

(South Africa) Chantelle Liebenberg

"The photographs on the website are not a true representation of the establishment. It looks brand new in one the photographs while in reality it was a little run down. The restaurant did not offer a lot of choice but in spite of this, our stay was not all bad. The room was clean."

"There were more negatives than positives! They are trying hard to bring up the standard and one can see they are spending money on the place to get there. The room was fine except you need to black off the shower otherwise all in the bathroom gets soaked. The dining room staff were really very friendly and did all to make you welcome but the food choice needs an upgrade! The general areas in the hotel were dirty especially the corridors and carpets. You could say the rooms are luxury but for the price at the bottom end of luxury. It's a great setting and has potential but for now is not more than 3 star."

I enjoyed the prepared dinners and was impressed with the overall service. I highly recommend Clanwilliam Lodge. If you are looking for sophistication and style, this is the place to be. Great for business travellers, like myself, couples, and families."


"What a Surprise!"

(South Africa) Dr van Dyk

"What a wonderful surprise after a long road - friendly staff, clean and well maintained rooms, and an ice cold beer! I can highly recommend this lodge."


"Honest Opinion"

(South Africa) Mr Greig

"A pleasant stay. Staff very friendly and professional. Rooms clean, tidy and comfortable.
One bit of advice: A plan should be made with water from shower. A flooded bathroom floor can be a bit frustrating.
Otherwise, thanks - will call on you again!"

"Ons het 'n standaard kamer bespreek vir die paasnaweek. Ons is vriendelik ontvang en lafenis aangebied by ons aankoms, wat welkom was aangesien dit baie warm was. Die kamer is baie mooi gemeubileer en is toegerus met lugversorging. Die ontbyt is uit die boonste rakke asook die buffet ete (aandete). Die kelners en personeel is baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Die atmosfeer in die lodge is baie rustig en kalm. Die swembad omgewing en "beddens" is heerlik vir ontspanning. Kan dit regtig aanbeveel vir 'n wegbreek naweek. Dit is kinder vriendelik.

(RoomsForAfrica Translated)
We booked a Standard Room. The room is beautifully furnished and enough daylight comes in as well.
The breakfast was the best. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
The atmosphere at the Lodge is very calm and rustic and child friendly. The pool and the beds is great to relax on.
I definitely recommend this for a weekend break."
