"What a fantastic stay we had.
The caretaker was very friendly and helpful. The grounds are stunningly beautiful and well maintained. There is amazing, soft grass all over, it was so therapeutic to walk bare feet on the grass the entire time.

Pet friendly location which is few and far between. Cabins are well maintained and have all required amenities with beautiful shower. The bore hole water tastes amazing.

Be expected to see the most beautiful flowers everywhere!"

The cottages are well maintained, Sledge is a wonderful host; we took daily walks in the breathtaking forest and even saw some wild.
At night it was cosy and warm in front of the fireplace, and outside the stars were a sight we’ve never seen before. VERY HAPPY, and we did not want to leave! Thank you Rainbow Lodge!"

"From the time I did the booking it was "smooth sailing". It was the first time in my life that any place has enquired what time I would arrive and to advise me that my cottage was ready and waiting. Everything is clean and fresh, with Sledge checking everyday to enquire if we needed anything. The cottage was cleaned everyday, so I had more time to relax. Anyone thinking of doing the garden route to look at flowers, can rather go the Rainbow Lodge. There is all colors and types of flowers to see. Absolutely beautiful. I think the name should be Rainbow Paradise, as that is what it is. Paradise, for anyone wanting to just relax and enjoy the silence.
Thank you for an amazing time."

"We stayed at Rainbow Lodge for a long weekend. It was such a peaceful stay with the most hospitable host. Sledge was very accommodating to our late check in and even offered a late check out. He provided the easiest directions to Rainbow lodge. The lodge itself was easily accessible with any vehicle with a small dirt road to access it. The cottage we stayed in was very homey and comfortable. It was exceptionally clean and was cleaned on a daily basis. The view was so beautiful and because the property is so large we were able to go on long walks or short walks depending on the day or the weather. I would highly recommend for a quick weekend getaway or a long tranquil week. "

Our kids swam in dams, fished for the first time and went on so many adventures all on their own and with us. It was a wonderful relaxing holiday! Highly recommend it to anyone wanting peace and quiet. Thank you to Slade for all your kind hospitality you were amazing."

"I had an amazing stay at the Rainbow Lodge! It is a beautiful farm and a place to find rest. I could take lovely walks on the farm. Thank you to the host for making us feel so welcome and looking after all our needs. "

"What a great place. With the most beautiful gardens on display. A place where you can just enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and relax. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. "

"My stay was lovely, clean beautiful and quiet.

"

"What a peaceful, restful lodge. Beautiful fireplace on a cold weekend. "

"We stayed in Cottage 7 at Rainbow Lodge. Well equipped with a beautiful view over the dam and field. Our small dog also enjoyed the stay.

Fishing was tough but good size fish.

Will definitely see us again."

"We stayed in unit 4, wonderful and very well looked after. Friendly owners. All dogs welcome which is a huge plus. Fishing was good even though dams are low."

"Thank you Rainbow Lodge and Shaun for a lovely stay. Thanks for being so accommodating! We had such a lovely time, and the hospitality was great. We stayed in a cabin with a beautiful view of the dam. The place was pet friendly so we had lots of cute and cuddly visitors throughout our stay :) There were also a range of wildlife in the area which kept us quite entertained.
Thanks Rainbow Lodge!

"Beautiful Gardens
Stunning views
Lovey walks

"This is our second visit to Rainbow Lodge and it was absolutely stunning. Got great exercise and plenty of rest. Our three Scottish terriers had a wonderful time swimming in the dam and going on long walks."

"Very quite lodge with Lovely gardens."

"Beautiful and serene location! Absolutely wonderful that it is pet friendly. "

"Great relaxing place. Neat and spacious gardens. Great for people that just want to relax and do nothing."

"Beautiful quaint cottages in a tranquil lovely setting. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay."

The lodges are nice and cosy and sitting in front of the fireplace during the thunderstorms in the afternoon is the perfect setting.

Uli is a wonderful host, easy to talk to and very accommodating. We will definitely return over and over again to this wonderful place.

We recommend this place to anyone who's looking to get away from city life, just to enjoy nature and get some 'r&r'. It's not just perfect for a family getaway, but as a romantic getaway for two as well."

"We really enjoyed our stay there. Only downfall was no TV or radio. Apart from that everybody was friendly. We will definitely go back there, this time with a radio. Thank you."

I admired the outside area. It was beautifully surrounded by a lake with it's tall trees. A refreshing site. I would go back again, and I'd recommend this lodge to anyone. "

"Had a wonderful two days in such a beautiful area. The lodge was clean and well fitted out and had all one needed for a short stay. Each lodge is a distance from other lodges and makes for private living. Will definitely go back"

"The accommodation was lovely. Our unit was a nice quaint little wooden cottage, with everything in place and impressively clean. Perfect stopover and I would definitely recommend the place."

"It was a nice environment and the place was situated in a quiet area. It was clean and the staff working there gave friendly service. Its a nice place to stay and I would recommend Rainbow Lodge to anyone."

"What a treasure I have found!! My weekend in the Rainbow Lodge was filled with the beauty of nature and much needed food for the soul! Such friendly hosts. Worth a definite second and third visit."

Absolutely relaxing stay, did not want to leave. Will definitely be back soon."

"The atmosphere was outstanding and the Host was a very good guy. He made me feel at home and comfortable. The weather was just awesome while I was there and that made my stay extra perfect. The place is highly recommendable."

"What a beautiful place. The cabins are beautiful and cosy. The environment is to die for! I enjoyed my long quiet walks. Thank you for everything"

"For a small price you can stay in heaven. The little house was perfect for only the 3 of us and although we had some bad weather and terrible winds it didn’t spoil our stay.
When we made the booking we were informed that they are making the dam bigger so we can expect a different view, but it didn’t spoil our stay and the sand banks entertained our 5 month old puppy and my 3 year old son.
Privacy was important to us and the houses are quite a distance from each other which was perfect and the nature sounds at night is music to anyone’s ears!
Our stay was short but so worth it and we will definitely go again! Don’t expect luxury when you go, there is a TV with full dstv a braai and then a few essentials but I would advise you to make sure you have good company unless you are going alone.
It was a small break for us but we enjoyed and it didn’t cost an arm and a leg.
The host was friendly to and went out of their way to make our stay as pleasurable as possible.
Thank you for a great time!!

"We had a fantastic weekend. The cottage no 5 was amazing, everything you could possibly need. Peace and quiet weekend away. Can't wait to go back to see the dams when they are full and producing good fish.
Thanks again Shaun. It was awesome."

"Beautiful and rustic, enjoyed the fireplace and scenery. Nice experience though, with comfortable accommodation. "

Friendly staff and people! Clean and neat! Truly a holiday spot I will return to time and again!

Thank you Rainbow Lodge - this was truly a wonderful experience! "

"GREAT AND PEACEFUL!!! The perfect place for a short getaway."

"We arrived late and they were waiting for us. Our lodge was clean. We had all we needed in the lodge. Our stay was super relaxing and the area is truly beautiful. We will be returning and recommend anyone to go. Thank you for a most enjoyable stay."

"We had a lovely stay at Rainbow Lodge. Log cabin no 5 is very cosy and comfortable. We also had a very friendly reception upon arrival."

"Lovely location with well-appointed cabins. Rainbow Lodge is the perfect place to unwind or take a break en route to other destinations. The manager Shawn and the dogs make the stay that much nicer. Hope to be back"

"Beautiful, relaxing atmosphere. Well equipped cottage. We had such a nice stay. Just remember to bring warm clothes - even in summer!"

"It was a very relaxing and very friendly place will definitely go there again. Nice view over the dam and wood already in place to make a fire. I was very impressed."

"We were looking for a quiet, peaceful getaway and that is exactly what we got at Rainbow Lodge. The hospitality was amazing. The care takers and staff were really friendly, when you pair all of that together along with lovely surroundings you get a very enjoyable break."

Set by two small lakes and available for fishing breaks as well as a stopover on the way to Kruger, it's grounds are beautiful. Individual character units are a delight and well appointed.
A family run business, so welcoming a family. Just love our stays from and to JNB airport."

"Congratulations on your choice of Manager and Manageress (Ben and Jana). They are a wonderful young couple and make it their business to make you feel very welcome at Rainbow Lodge. The cabin that we occupied was spotless and had all the necessary amenities. Thank goodness there was no TV, we could sit outside and enjoy the sunset and the surrounding beauty as it went to sleep. The gardens right from the entrance of the resort are magnificent and only wish I could have seen them in December when all the plants were in full bloom. One day when Neville and I retire this is the type of venue we would like to oversee. We will pass the message of goodwill onto all our friends and we will be seeing Ben and Jana soon. Regards Rene"

"It was a shock to realise that the establishment had no tv but they made up for that with the friendly service and helpfulness. The atmosphere was great. I hope to return again soon."

"Thank you for a pleasant stay. Would recommend to others and make use of you again."

"Fantastic hospitality, relaxing stay, amazing views, cosy fireplace and chopped wood supplied and stocked, what more can you ask for. Will definitely recommend Rainbow lodge to all my friends and be back to catch some trout."

"What an experience! Rainbow Lodge is so breathtakingly beautiful and the peace and tranquility is indescribable! So sad that we only stayed over for one night, as I would've loved to stay there for an entire week!

Excellent value for money as well! The cabin was so well equipped with kitchen, fireplace and wood already chopped and ready for us when we got there to light the fireplace. The cabins are so cosy and warm.

We also enjoyed some fly fishing in the morning before we left. The lodge owners were so friendly as to borrow us a fly fishing rod.

We will definitely be back soon. I can strongly recommend this to anyone who wants to have a relaxing break away from city!"

"We had the most rewarding stay at Rainbow Lodge and managed to forget about all daily stresses as this is truly a place to chill and relax. The surroundings are magnificent and we kept a daily eye on the resident Black Cormorant and the Heron on the dam wall. Walks through the forest was invigorating and the owners Uli and Lily are incredibly friendly - there was not a thing we needed. The chalet was so clean and comfortable and the fireplace was wonderful on chilly days. I could not stop taking photos of the beautiful gardens with an abundance of Dahlias everywhere. It's the sort of place one goes back to."

"Our stay at Rainbow Lodge was perfect in every way. It was just the two of us for a little romantic weekend away. The rooms are clean and have everything you need....the fireplace and fires we lit in the mornings and at night were amazing. The mist in the mornings and then the sun breaking through were breath taking. We did many walks in the pine forest and had fun taking photos laying in the pine needles. We laughed a lot, talked a lot and all in all had a lot of fun. We are so going back. We will only go in winter though so we can enjoy the cold and the fireplace. Apparently in summer the flowers and trees are awesome. Uli, the owner, takes great pride in his grounds and flowers etc. A little bit of heaven. The host Uli is a very welcoming and friendly host."

"What a discovery. Wonderful haven of tranquillity. Great comfortable log-cabin style chalets. We will be back."

"Rainbow Lodge was the best thing we could have done after a very hectic two years. It was quiet, tranquil and the accommodation was comfortable, well-equipped and welcoming. Our hosts, Uli and his wife always made sure that we were happy and comfortable.

The view of their immaculate garden, the trout fishing ponds/dams and the rest of the farm was to die for. I literally sat on one chair for days just staring at the view and absorbing the quietness (and eating and sippping wine).

For any stressed out person who wants to get away from everything, this is the place to go. I guarantee no fishing enthusiast will get bored here!

If you don't plan in advance, like we did, Belfast is only 6km away. So you can stock up before or after you enter this paradise.

It is adequately furnished and decorated. Everything you need is there. All you need to do is bring your own food. We had such an amazing time. If you want to spoil the man or woman you love and want to give them an experience that will make them fall in love with you even more, this is the cabin to take them to. I will definitely go again. I loved it and so did my awesome boyfriend. Thanks Rainbow Lodge"

"Rainbow Lodge was the perfect getaway for the long weekend. Lovely cosy cabin which was well equipped and very spacious! They provided more than enough wood for the fireplace over the very cold weekend!

A definite must for peace of mind and relaxation!"

"Very basic log cabin for 2 people - good place to come and get away from it all. Fairly private as cabins are a short distance away from each other - no TV available. Has everything you would need to cook a meal. It has a nice fire place and friendly owner.

Will go back again."

The No. 5 log cabin is gorgeous, snug and perfect for a romantic retreat. The wood fireplace adds to the ambience and kept us perfectly warm despite some cold weather. The tranquil views and cosy cabin really refreshed these two weary city dwellers!

We would recommend Rainbow Lodge to anyone, although we must mention that it is fully self-catering, so be sure to bring your own sugar/coffee/tea/dishwashing liquid etc. Otherwise, we can't wait to go back :)"

"To me it was heaven! Exactly what I needed for where I am in my life. Very well equipped. Peaceful, haven't seen the stars so bright in many years, and pet-friendly. Will definitely return."

"There are few things in life that can soothe a mans brow like clutching out and spending some time away from the hustle & bustle of the concrete jungle. This was one such experience. A mere 2 hour drive from JHB, I turned right down a gravel road lined with pine and blue wattle. Lazily passing a tractor hauling some firewood, I soon realised I had arrived, a small but inviting sign marking the way to Rainbow Lodge. As we cleared the rows of dense treeline, there it was, rolling lawns dabbled with spots of sunlight coming down through the canopy. A log cabin perched by the edge of a lake greeted us as we wound down the pathway to the office. Uli, the owner and host came up to our vehicle with a warm welcoming smile and asked to to please settle in and not worry about the paper work, unpleasantries later he said. We were pointed in the direction of Cabin 1, its private patio/braai area overlooking Dam 2. The cabin inside was rustic and charming, and for the most part, well appointed. We immediately set ourselves the task of settling in and enjoyed the feeling of calm and relaxation come over us as we stared out across the dam towards the rolling green hills beyond.

Free firewood, charcoal for the braai and a Cadac cylinder are provided as standard.

Overall it was a great experience and would definitely go there again. A liitle piece of paradise."

Unfortunately, it was only for 24 hours but what a relaxing environment! The hosts are very friendly and their love of nature quite obvious. The beautiful show of flowers at the entrance of the lodge welcomes you as well as their friendly dogs. Very peaceful place, we will definitely come back for a long weekend and enjoy the walks."

"The most peaceful place with breathtaking scenery. The log cabins remind you of the Swiss mountains. Friendly people and animals on the farm!"

"Cosy, quiet and relaxing! Absolutely stunning surrounds and romantic in every way! Uli's vision for Rainbow Lodge can be seen in every aspect and detail of executing his dream of creating a peaceful and tranquil environment for the tired city folk.

We highly recommend this place to anyone ..."

"Cosy, quiet and relaxing! Absolutely stunning surrounds and romantic in every way! Uli's vision for Rainbow Lodge can be seen in every aspect and detail of executing his dream of creating a peaceful and tranquil environment for the tired city folk.

We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a time out and wishing to rekindle the romance in front of the fireplace.

We had a lovely time and thank you once again.

"Really enjoyed our time at Rainbow Lodge! Would recommend it to anyone! "

"The rainbow lodge was lovely and peaceful. The accommodation was very comfortable and homely. We thought Uli was a great host and very welcoming. Would definitely return. PS. Happiness, the dog, is adorable."

"Reception was very friendly. Accommodation is well kept, well equipped and very reasonably priced.

"Reception was very friendly. Accommodation is well kept, well equipped and very reasonably priced. Thanks for supplying chopped firewood (free of charge) next to the much-appreciated fire place; fishing gear available for hire also very reasonably priced (or free of charge if only used for a very short time).
The setting is beautifully tranquil and restorative. Visiting the lodge in spring the pastoral feeling was accentuated as the smell of daffodils filled the air and the almost sprouting trees lightened up the scenery. What a pity that we are so far away; this would have been a regular break away for us for sure. "

"At the end of a dirt road, a wonderful place with a lake surrounded by very comfortable wood houses. Lovely accommodation, all made in wood, with a chimney, and very nice welcome by the owner."

"We really enjoyed the calm and serene atmosphere at Rainbow Lodge. Away from all the hustle of city life, one can find oneself again in this peaceful setting. Thanks to Uli and his dogs for welcoming us. We will definitely go again. "

"We only had one night to spend at Rainbow Lodge, however, we would have loved to spend a much longer time there. The tranquil, beautiful setting of this lodge is valuable and precious to us. We will definitely return, over and over again.

"Rainbow Lodge, 2 hours from Johannesburg, near Dullstroom is a hidden treasure, a perfect weekend getaway for us, an idyllic rest-stop enroute to our Kruger Park Safari. Actually, Rainbow Lodge consists of a number of lodges bordering the east side of trout ponds with a majestic view of the the valley. We were greeted by our cordial hosts, Uli and Lily Lauth and their friendly 4 dogs. Our cozy 2 bedroom cabin had a blazing fire in the comfy living room, a fully equipped kitchenette and porch/balcony overlooking the pond. We thoroughly enjoyed our walks there and talks with our hosts. Our teenager left his jacket behind and Uli drove all the way to Dullstroom to return it since he knew we'd be at the grocery store."

"From a frantic egotistical battle, sound of sirens, impatient road users and other typical Johannesburg characteristics we were moved to a piece of heaven where the mist surrounds you in the morning, the water's reflection doubles the extraordinary landscape and where you hear nothing but the sounds of birds and silence. This is the place where one can think and allow the warmth of the open fires to warm your 'soul(s)' in more than one way. Just a pity that time goes by so quickly. Thank you.

"Never in anyone's dreams can you describe this place in words. The surrounding in itself makes this place a magical escape from the real world. It’s almost so entrapping that you want to remain here forever. One could not ask for anything more. This was an absolute brilliant weekend away - and just what the doctor ordered. The host was superb and we had ample privacy to carry on with our schedule.

The cabin we stayed in was to die for. The furnishings were exquisite and more then we could imagine. Absolute luxury.

To get up in the morning and see the mist on the dam - with trout prolifically jumping - something that one does not get to see often. The sunset at the dam is breathtaking.

The wine at night, after a good meal, by the fire place - lets you forget about the everyday stress.

This relaxing venue is top of the list for any of my getaways - and hopefully I can retire in a place like this. It’s heaven on earth....

"

"The accommodation and surrounding area was just stunning. I loved the sound of nature all around and the peacefulness that just filled every open space. Thanks to our host for his friendly nature and helpfulness in finding us fun activities to do. Can't wait to go visit again!"

"This was a wonderful experience. We enjoyed each moment, took hundreds of photos and what a blessing it was, just being able to be and not to be rushed by anything! It was so good to be there, if we can afford it, we will be back. My daughter from Dubai has gone back with very sweet memories. more

We will be returning soon.

Thank you.

"What a wonderful weekend once again! Rainbow Lodge is the most beautiful and romantic place that we have ever been to and Uli is a great host. We will certainly be back over Easter! "

"As always, a peaceful relaxing stay, away from the hustle and the bustle of everyday life. The three dogs and Uli always make you feel very welcome. Thank you!"

"Great place to get away from all the rush and noise. Very well maintained lodge, great fishing. Myself and my wife will be back for more, for sure!
Thank you Uli
"

"This was a little surprise package. Lovely log cabin looking out over a dam. It was very clean, well equipped and comfortable. Excellent place to do absolutely nothing!"

"What a beautiful place in the most tranquil setting. We had a great time. The lodges are lovely and well stocked with everything you need. The two large dams provided some nice fishing. Just a pity we didn't catch any big ones, but we had fun hauling in loads of small bass. We will be back."

"This place is just too wonderful, romantic, relaxing. The cottages are comfortable with everything and more for a stay that will be engraved into my memory for years to come. You can get oneself lost in the quietness and calmness of the surrounding country and the beautiful of stars at night. Definitely will I go back and enjoy this place all over again, there is no way that one can visit this cosy place and be untouched by the healing atmosphere that lingers around. It is up to oneself to make best use of it.
Thanks to you at Rooms for Africa for bringing me into contact with this place and please forward my thanks to the owner and his wife for keeping such a beautiful place for use to enjoy. They truly live to make other people happy and God bless them with special talents.
"

"This was the best choice ever! This place is absolutely stunning and would love to go back there one day (to get married). The owner (Uli) has treated us with kindness and went out of their way to welcome us.
Thank you.

"We had a great weekend at rainbow lodge, the service was of the highest standard and staff were very friendly. The most beautiful surroundings, chalets, the 3 dams, walks in the the forest and some good fishing. We will definitely be visiting again.
Cheers to the 2 that got away"

"We absolutely loved Rainbow lodge. From its warm and friendly management who come out to greet you as you arrive, to the beautiful little log cabins surrounded by tranquil fishing area's, and lush vegetation. Our every expectation was filled as we got into lots of relaxing, loads of fishing and braai'ing at sunset. It was wonderful.

Also we found the people in the surrounding towns of Belfast and Dulstroom friendly, helpful and easy to get along with.


Thank you Rainbow lodge for making us feel so welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and will definitely stay at Rainbow Lodge again.

"What a relaxing, hide-away weekend to do absolutely nothing! "The shack" I will call this paradise.
"

"We had a wonderful time at Rainbow Lodge. The rooms were spotless, well kept and very comfortable. A wonderful place for a romantic weekend getaway. We will certainly be back in the very near future!"

Wood is provided and you burn the wood all night in the stove. Another good suggestion is to bring your own coffee pot and place on the stove and you can have warm coffee all night. A very romantic atmosphere. Don't get put off by the dirt road. The road is in good condition.
Just enjoy it with somebody special in your life.....
"

"It was awsome a pleace, it has every thing you need and more."

"The chalet was very clean, cosy and well equiped. The view is fantastic from the chalet, it is quiet and two restful days give energy to work again. It is nice to bring your dog with, she had lots of fun also. Thanks for a wonderful time."

"What an absolutely delightful little place. So good that we extended our stay there by one day! Apart from a small glitch with the gas heating the water on friday night which was dealt with promptly, all was good!!! Very Romantic and restful!!!!"

"We had so much fun there at Rainbow Lodge. The lodges are so cute, clean and cozy. The nature is even better! Even the doggies had a ball.
Very impressed, will definitely come again!

"I found the Lodge itself very pleasant and appreciated the relaxed atmosphere as well as the uniqueness of each cottage. What I sought was a place to be on my own and comfortable and what I found was warm hospitality sensitive to my needs and an incredible calm. A place to recharge one's batteries indeed! I believe that the flexibility of the management is something that will enable me to return alone or with my family - even with a loved one. The cabin was spacious but cozy and the original woodwork fascinating.

Efficient administration with minimal fuss has been achieved here and thus gave me more time to enjoy my break. Thank you very much. Any association with a place like Rainbow Lodge can only be an advantage to a business like yours."

"This is the second time we have stayed at Rainbow Lodge and I must say we love it. If your looking for a quiet, tranquil get away, this is the place to hide. It is well equipped and very clean and cosy. I would recommend this little retreat to anyone. Thank you again."

"Rainbow Lodge is well situated to explore the area - Dullstroom some 30km away and Sabie and Graskop areas are all within a day visit reach. The quiet and beautiful area contributes to a chilling out experience next to nothing - home from home with a rent a dog to make it even more pleasant. The weather was not too pleasant during the last two days but not once did we even contemplate to start a fire in the fire place as the well equipped wooden hut is well insulated and meets the requirements for a relaxing stay. The fishing is a bonus as I could practice both fly fishing for trout and I could also do some spinning in the other dam for Bass. Will I revisit? - Definitely YES!"

"We really needed to unwind. It was a decision well taken to make our reservation at Rainbow Lodge. We enjoyed our stay, and it was very relaxing with no one or anything bothering you. We thoroughly enjoyed our trout fishing. We will recommend Rainbow Lodge to family and friends.
"

"This is a fabulous place if you want to have a chilled weekend away. The facilities are incredible and the relaxed atmosphere really lets you kick back and relax. This is definitely a place that you will visit more than once. "

If you are a dog lover, this is a great place to be. The lodge dogs Scruffy and Happy made us feel very welcome, as did Uli and Lily our hosts. If you enjoy mountain biking, the gravel road to Dullstroom and Machadodorp provided some good riding. No traffic, just great scenery. Rainbow Lodge is on our calendar for a return visit in the new year with some of our mountain biking friends. We can recommend Rainbow Lodge."

"In searching for a weekend retreat to really get away from it all, I found Rainbow Lodge on the internet. It looked idyllic and did not disappoint me in this regard. It is also close enough to enjoy a morning outing to Dullstroom. At the lodge, don't expect TV's / satellite & luxury, but expect comfort, be prepared to adopt an enthusiastic dog or 2 for the weekend to enjoy your walks with you, a snuggle in front of the fireplace ... and absolute tranquility. I believe that the intention is to develop an estate there. While I can understand it from an economic point of view, it would rob the place of its charm. I hope to get there again before it changes too much!"

"It was wonderful to have a haven to come to after a hard day's work in a cold church! After overcoming the chimney problem (we did not realize the chimney was blocked the first time we had a fire so this resulted in more than one sense of the word 'smoked'!).

"I think rainbow lodge is a fantastic little holiday getaway. If you are looking for a romantic getaway and beautiful surroundings this is definitely a must. Just be sure not to accept the cottage at the back of the house, rather take a log cabin.
"

"Having read previous excellent reviews of Rainbow Lodge, I was still pleasantly surprised by just how special this little retreat is. Warm, comfortable, good quality everywhere you look and the most amazing view I have seen in a long time. We will certainly be back for a rejuvenating top up!

Booking through Rooms for Africa was also the most painless booking experience imaginable.

"We enjoyed the quiet stay very much. Wonderful views, good trout dams, long forest walks and comfortable accommodation. Enjoyed fires in a wonderful fireplace in the lounge and appreciated being able to take my doggy with to enjoy the vast grass area to run around in."

"A little bit of heaven fell from the sky one day, it landed in a place not so very far away..

This place is called Rainbow Lodge. My boyfriend and I contacted the owners at 4pm on the day before we arrived, trying to find somewhere cute and affordable to stay at the very last minute, and Rainbow Lodge came to the rescue. They put us in one of their large cabins overlooking the prettiest trout dam and the rambling foothills of the Steenkampsberge.The dam is surrounding by gorgeous benches and tables with jasmine covered pergolas. The cabin itself was equipped with everything, right down to the toothmug in the bathroom. The first thing we saw when we arrived were about 6 sunbirds feeding on the aloes.

We had a brilliant weekend in an incredibly tastefully furnished and equipped little cabin, with oodles of firewood and feather eiderdowns on the beds. What a luxury! and at such affordable rates too!"

"The wooden cottage (number 2) reminded me of the house Heidi and her grandpa lived in. This served to highten our enthusiasm as we imagined ourselves living on the foothills of the Alps. The cottage appeared small as we arrived but to my amazement and joy, was much more spacious than anticipated! It had all the "plug-in" appliances a city dweller could ask for to make his mid-week getaway as comfortable as possible. The fireplace was instrumental in setting the mood and was seldom without a crackling fire. Through the efforts of the staff, the wood supply never dwindled or ran out. The shower was fantastic and the most difficult decision of the week was whether to spend more time in the shower or in front of the fire! The toilet seat is a work of art. Well done! Early morning strolls around the dams as well as leisurely walks at dusk in the forest added to an unforgettable experience. Rainbow Lodge has, after one visit, become our vacation spot of choice whenever we are in the area."
