The purpose of the facility (to rehabilitate big cats in a natural environment) and the staff are exceptional. Not a luxurious resort but beautiful and best value for cost. Lionsrock is own by the NGO Four Paws which focuses on rehabilitating animals saved from zoos. A must "do" if in South Africa. ##### JRBD ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 3 Jan 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Schönes sicheres Zuhause für missbrauchte Tiere!!! Die lodge hat eine super Lage und die Ausfahrt zu den "Katzen" war perfekt! Hier können sie in Ruhe leben ohne missbraucht zu werden!! Es war alles in allem ein sehr schöner u interessanter Aufenthalt! Wir sahen sogar Löwen aus einem Safaripark unserer Heimat die nach einem Überfall auf den Park nicht mehr erhalten werden konnten u gerettet wurden! Leider sind die Tiere aufgrund mangelnder Bewegung alle relativ dick:-( ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### joseph, nakskov 19 Apr 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### flot natur jeg har bestilt værelse med 2 senge , fik kun 1 seng ellers var der flot ##### joseph ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bernd 12 Apr 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Super Projekt mit guten Unterkünften Sehr guter Service man konnte seine Bestellung ins Zimmer,Pool oder im Restaurant einnehmen. ##### Bernd ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 3 Dec 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ein besonderes Erlebnis! Ziemlich abseits gelegen mit Anreise über ca. 10 km unbefestigter Zufahrt. Erst einmal angekommen aber "einfach toll" - insbesondere die Geräuschkulisse mit Löwengebrüll im Hintergrund. Die sehr großflächige Anlage (Führungen per Jeep werden mehrmals täglich angeboten) gehört der Tierschutzorganisation "vier Pfoten" - jeder Aufenthalt dort trägt somit zum Erhalt der Anlage bei. Toller Service und sowohl ausgezeichnetes Frühstück, als auch tolles Abendessen. Ideal zum "entspannten Abtauchen" für einige Tage. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sam and Geoff , Adelaide South Australia 1 Oct 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very underrated, amazing place! We arrived thinking it was a private cat rescue place, how wrong could we have been! Lovely property, good food, great location and staff, what a great job they do there. If you're in any way an animal lover, this place is a must. Absolutely exceeded our expectations, stop being so humble guys you are underselling yourselves. Loved or stay there :) ##### Sam and Geoff ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeffrey, Johannesburg 9 Jun 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Best choice around Bethlehem And it is for a very good cause, too.

Dernier logement apres trois semaines de vacances en Afrique du Sud. Nous avons été comquis par le logement, le cadre, la politique de l'hotel et la gentillesse du personnel. Prendre son petit dejeuné sur une magnifique vue avec comme fond sonore le rugissement des lions.

The staff were really excellent considering the fact that their resources are limited. We are sold on the place and intend to visit again soon. ##### Owen hawkey ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gerard, Purmerend 31 Jan 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect stay at a great place. We were very pleasantly surprised with our stay. More or less accidently ended up there. It's a bit of a ride of the main road but once there very worth it. We were over exited about what they were doing at the 'farm'. The rescue of big cats that are overcomplete elswhere in the world (mainly Eastern Europe) touched our hearts. Giving them a second chance is wonderful. Further more they have great food and a very nice staf. Highly recommended!!! ##### Gerard ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 30 Jan 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Loved the people & the location in the wilderness. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Eva en Peter, eindhoven 10 Jan 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Een unieke ervaring. Een lodge tussen de dieren. Op onze tweede dag in afrika kwamen we, toevallig?, op deze locatie terecht. De slaapgelegenheid is prima geregeld. De locatie tussen de dieren is uniek. Bij alles staan de dieren centraal. Mensen met passie voor de dieren en hart voor de gasten. Een zeer persoonlijke benadering en een onvergetelijke herinnering. ##### Eva en Peter ### 8/10 Good #### maki, bloemfontein 28 Dec 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### lionsrock lodge The place is wow, no complains.
