Je dois manger sans gluten, c'est le seul et unique endroit où le chef cuisinier à eu plein d'intentions pour que je puisse profiter pleinement de mon séjour. Petit muffin sans gluten au petit déjeuner, idem pour les repas du soir, entrée plat dessert sans gluten. Je le remercie vivement pour cela. Accueil chaleureux. Rien à redire, endroit au calme exceptionnel, personnel discret et gentil. Bravo à tous

What a stunning property, and amazing couple who own and run it. We loved our stay and cannot wait to visit once again - 2 nights was just too short. On a side note - the beds were like sleeping on a cloud.

I loved my stay at Lily Pond. Beautiful grounds and pond. Incredible bird life, singing frogs and absolutely no traffic noise to disturb the peace and tranquility. My accommodation was well appointed, comfortable, spacious and modern - I loved it. Niels and Margaret (owners/managers) were attentive, gracious and genuinely friendly hosts. I chose to have dinners at Lily Pond too - they were mouth-wateringly delicious! This place is a winner and I will be back very soon.

My wife and I found the staff and our hosts to be very welcoming and extremely helpful. It was a real pleasure to stay at the Lily Pond Country Lodge. The Baboons wandering around the extremities of the grounds took us by surprise at first but on being assured that they were safe we enjoyed the experience. The rooms were large, high quality and very comfortable although the open plan nature of the bedroom and bathroom was not what we would have chosen..

It is not difficult to see why Lily Pond gets consistently good reviews. Such consistent reviews don’t just happen - they are testament to the professionalism and efforts of the owners, Niels and Margaret. Refreshing to see such hands on owners who have also trained their staff to their own high standards. Everything runs smoothly and apparently effortlessly but that only comes with excellent ownership/management. Spotlessly clean, very stylish with great attention to detail, excellent food and staff - could have taken Faith home with me for her smile and personality. Niels and Margaret you deserve your success - thank you. To anyone reading this I can highly recommend Lily Pond and would definitely stay again if in the area. Car wash was a nice extra touch!!

Amazing relaxing place to stay. Attentive staff and food was absolutely fantastic. Our suite was lovely but be wary of the ordinary garden rooms as the toilet has no door or privacy. May not concern you but our friends who stayed in one found it very disconcerting.

We had a marvellous stay, not long enough but would recommend to anyone visiting that part of South Africa.

This is by far THE BEST PLACE we've been to in SA and in general. The level of service is so high you won't believe it. The room is beautiful with gorgeous view to the pond. It was top clean with premium bedding. The in house restaurant is amazing. Food was delicious and service was perfect. The owners spend time with each guest every day asking them how was their day and what are their plans for the next days. Breakfast at tge garden was also delicious and made for order. Our car has been washed every day! To sum up: GO THERE! Great value for money and you'll have the best stay for sure! We spent 2 nights there and we were very sad to leave.

We will be back if we return to the cape! The location is also excellent, only a 5 minute drive from Nature's Valley and close to Lett. Josef, Brown, Margret, and the woman who prepared the breakfasts were all excellent hosts. Given the lodge's quality, the price is a good value, unquestionably by European standards.

4.8/514 Jun 2022

We think this is the greatest lodge that we ever stayed at considering everything that matters on a vacation. Very spacious rooms with high-quality finishes and a view of the ponds. Close to activities and the beach. Dinner is a first-rate start quality in terms of presentation and taste. Friendly and competent staff and owners who are personally involved.

I am late submitting this review, but better late than never! You would be far better off getting a housewarming host than Margret Niels. Their personnel is also excellent, and when we arrived earlier than expected, they escorted us to our room with excellent efficiency as the proprietors were out. We ate here for three nights every evening. The cuisine, prepared with care by the owner herself, was excellent. We were a group of four, one of whom has dietary intolerance, and Margret went above and beyond to ensure that she had the best dining experience as the rest of us. This beautiful area is unquestionably an excellent place to visit.

A luxurious retreat, this one is excellent. This one is run by a very kind and experienced couple. For the reasons listed below, I skipped one point, but these are just my individual traveler perception. The area is lovely. The room is roomy, and the amenities are contemporary, but the staff is extremely helpful and pleasant. The furniture is in African style, with lots of wood and a very dark, but not old. There may be a few folks who find the beds to be too big, but that is a taste thing. The pool area, pond, and all the amenities are lovely, and they offer a higher class luxury option. You will have to eat at the hotel because it is far from other restaurants restaurants. The kitchen is light, healthy, and incredibly good. Those who have more hunger than the foodie culture can satisfy, can ask for double portions without being misunderstood. Very professional. On the positive side, having the ability to become a luxury location, as well as having a little bit more citizens, the facility could have been cleaner. There was a lot of dust beneath the bed and the previous guest resting on the floor. We spent four nights without having the impression that the space was vacuumed daily as I am used to at other locations like this. After they dished out, the paper tissues have not been replaced, and shampoo in
