An amazing place. Tranquility at its best. If you need to reconnect with your self this is the place. Offers great view, opportunity to connect with natures atmosphere. If you like to cycle or run off road this works well. The teams service is outstanding always willing to assist with a smile.

This was the most amazing destination ever! The setting was beautiful with all the lovely plants, palm trees and flowers in the garden. The swimming pools were clean and sparkly. On our way, we also saw giraffes, wild ostriches, monkeys, baboons and zebras. Would definitely recommend.

Our stay there wasn't long enough. We should have stayed longer. They were so welcoming and made us feel very special. If only we had known about all that the lodge had to offer we would have booked for way more than one night.... Next time we will. ... and we will be back.

BRW Lodge is such a special place to stay. Its location by the river oozes calmness and the accommodation and food is fabulous. However the personal touch from Cynthia and the team really made us feel at home. Topped off with a guided walk in the reserve to see the giraffes. Thank you!

This, I think, our fourth visit to the Blyde River Wilderness Lodge. We enjoy the quiet, relaxed ambience, dinner was lovely and the staff friendly and obliging. We enjoyed meeting Cherie-Lee and, as always Cynthia went the extra mile. The beds are super-comfortable.

Peaceful and wildlife atmosphere...very cosy rooms (we stayed in the roundavells) very good food and nice staff. We had a lovely stay we did panorama route to visit the blyde river canyon sites...it is a bit far from there around 1 hour drive to the first step of the panorama route. I recommend this place if you don't mind being a bit remote

We stayed here for 3 nights and loved every minute of it. The property is beautiful, set right on a river with hippos. There are peacocks that roam around, as well as zebra, ostrich and giraffe. The food was absolutely incredible, and the staff was beyond helpful and friendly. They even helped us set up a fire in the fire pit outside our room one night. I would highly recommend this lodge to anyone staying in the Blyde River Canyon area.
