音に敏感な人は朝の鳥の鳴き声で寝られないと思います。早起きで、自然が好き、鳥の鳴き声で目を覚ましたい人にはいいかもしれません。

Awesomeness

Enjoyable stay in a neat and tidy room. The staff are friendly and helpful. Attending to your every need. The home cooked meals smells divine and next time I will make sure that I book a meal. The garden is so beautiful and the bonsai trees are a very attractive feature.
The pool gets sun all day long and the water 💦 is beautiful to cool 😎 off on a hot day
GF, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice place and good location but do not take breakfast if you want to be in time after breakfast. First come, first served principle should be followed but when we arrived first we were served last after 1 hour and 20 minutes waiting.No apologies, no explanations, no coffee...

Goed voor een tussenstop als je op doorreis bent

Op de doorreis van Krugerpark naar Bloemfontein een eenvoudige tussenstop gemaakt bij Aark Guest Lodge. Diner op t laatste moment mogelijk; dagmenu. Ontbijt ook prima. Kamer maakt een erg gedateerde indruk, maar nog steeds goed genoeg voor een doorreis overnachting

I didn't sign up for the Aark!

The theme is attractive and well developed. Management needs to remember that customers are paying to stay at the hotel. A less strict approach will serve them well.
