Zwartberg View Mountain Lodge  Verified Listing

Set amongst red Enon hills, and surrounded by game and nature with magnificent views, glorious sunsets, and star filled nights. There are three chalets set on a hillside overlooking the valley and one cottage in the dry riverbed. Each of the chalets has a private deck with armchairs and cushions, each decorated in a different animal theme. If you are looking for Tourist Graded luxury 5* lodge this is not the place for you, but we do endeavour to give you all the comforts that you might need and our guests have definitely rated us 5*. The Chalets are set 300m and the Cottage about 50m from the main lodge where we light our nightly fire, eat dinner and breakfast. The animal view from here in the evening is spectacular. This makes every evening a really special occasion. The Chalets are directly linked to our two walking trails which take you right up to the hills and valleys and back to your chalet. Our 4th Self Catering Cottage is tucked away in the river bed. It has its own fireplace and is completely secluded from the main lodge and other Chalets - but guests may, of course, join for breakfast or dinner, as you wish. This is a perfect honeymoon hideaway or for small families.

Private secluded deck overlooking valley, tea/coffee station, en-suite bathroom with shower, mini fridge with bottled water (no charge), cooling fans for summer, heater for winter, bedding and towels provided. Hair dryer on request.

From the moment you turn off the Vergelegen Road onto the windy track over the riverbed (sometimes dry in summer), you know you are in for something special! You realise immediately that this IS a secret place, hidden away, a little piece of African magic unlike anything else you will ever have experienced. It is this very same feeling that you as a Guest feel, that made the owners fall instantly in love with Zwartberg View Mountain Lodge and decided to buy it in February 2016.

On the farm there are a few relaxing activities, swimming, hiking, reading on your deck, watching the animals, and enjoying the scenery.

The Vergelegen Road upon which Zwartberg View Mountain Lodge is situated leads one directly to the R328 and one of the most highly sought after circular routes in South Africa, down the Swartberg Pass to Prince Albert, through Meiringspoort and de Rust and back home to us, in time for sundowners and another fantastic dinner!! Along the same route you’ll encounter ostrich farms, wine estates, and of course one of the greatest natural wonders in the world - the awesome Cango Caves and Cango Ostrich Farm - directly accessible from here!

George is 65km from here over the Outeniqua Pass and leads to Knysna and on to Port Elizabeth, this is the spectacular Garden Route. Mossel Bay just over the fabulous Robinson Pass is just 98km. The famous Route 62 opens up to you on our doorstep!

For those who feel like seeing more game, Buffelsdrift offers game drives and the Cango Wildlife Ranch can teach one a lot about all sorts of various reptiles and animals.
