Kiara Lodge  Verified Listing

We spent 3 nights at Kiara Lodge recently. Stayed in a one-bedroom chalet which was adequate for 2 adults and 2 kids. Our chalet was in the Signal Hill part of the resort which I can recommend if you want the best views. The chalet has been very recently renovated and is very tastefully done and comfortable. We had a fireplace which helped keep the chill at bay. The kids loved feeding the rabbits which hop around the place. There is a great indoor pool with jacuzzi. Unfortunately, the water was cold which didn't stop the kids but it did stop the adults. The water fountain thing was also not working. The playground has a giant jumping pillow. It was only as we were leaving that I discovered the shady area with hammocks and swing chairs. Next time, you will find me there! We only ordered milkshakes from the restaurant and were upset that they gave us plastic straws. The rabbit food that is sold is also in plastic. We didn't get to try out the enormous climbing wall. Another activity for next time. We will definitely be back.

It was a superb weekend stay at the Kiara Lodge, which was located at the foot of the Golden Gate National Park. There is so much to do, see, adventure and eat within the neighboring towns. There is no shortage of restaurants or trinkets to buy. The lodge itself was extremely well preserved, save for a few things out of place that the housekeepers could have paid attention to. All in all however, great grounds and friend staff.

We decided to do a winter vacation for a change and was thoroughly surprised. The resort is cosy and warm with loads for the kids and for the adults to do. Despite the sub zero temperatures, we were kept warm by the fires and central heating. The kids enjoyed the play room especially. Our unit, a 6 sleeper had everything one could ask for. The views were to die for. Especially early afternoon
