The game room was disappointing. the xbox dont have remotes and if you have kids you know an xbox without a remote is usless. The other game console is a PS2 which is very out dated. The rest of the games in the game room was either broken or missing parts. There is absolutely no signal at this lodge and the "Free wifi" they advertise is only 100MB :( They (over) charge for absolutely everything. I am surprised that we did not get a bill for the oxygen we breathed over the weekend. This place is over rated and way over priced. Honestly we could have stayed at the Protea Hotel in Clarence and paid less. ##### M Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joy 20 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great mid-week getaway for the family Very unique and picturesque location with a quiet, comfortable feel. Children are safe to go to the play area while the adults enjoy a cappuccino at the restaurant. Many outdoor activities kept us busy all week. The accommodation was modern and clean and offered a cosy rest at the end of a long, busy day with a beautiful roaring fire. The staff are amazing, friendly and ready to assist. I am booking my next stay there very soon. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C2EB0B20B25F91D35D6EA47895CEFAB79F32C5F91626771787221.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/99EFDAAB5DB3C232072225053CC1E1EF6E1E77861626771786475.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2C6EB6F2988D013C7B996C9086DCBC4AB1F0941F1626771786450.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/66D5A109933C40332BC6D307F82B8084EEB24E341626771786667.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Joy Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 19 Apr 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lots of activities, great for a family/friend get together.

The checking took a long time. We finally got to our unit and settled in... the Channels on the decoder was not working. The maintenance guy was not able to fix it, The wifi stopped working was never, The games room was locked, The jacuzzi in the pool area never worked. When we asked the pool guy he was very rude and said it comes on automatically, which it never did. None of this was rectified our entire stay. We spoke with some other familys and they had been there 2 or more days before us and they cinfirmed, that it was the same way since their arrival. ##### Vickash Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashlin 21 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Awesome Weekend Break Excellent Stay at Kiara Lodge, the facilities at the resort are excellent and the staff very accommodating. ##### Ashlin Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Colin 11 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Comfortable, modern apartment We enjoyed our stay here, despite the terrible summer weather! It was a family trip, and the 3 bedroom apartment we stayed in was very high quality with lots of new, modern fittings. Also appreciated the DSTV channels. On site restaurant was good, and enjoyed the walks on the property and mini golf. Clarens and the Golden Gate National Park are both a very short drive away. Only thing I would criticise is service levels could sometimes be lacking. But would definitely stay again. ##### Colin Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Michaela, München 1 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Die Bungalows sind hervorragend ausgestattet, das Bett war bequem, die Lage ist super nur das Wifi lässt zu wünschen übrig.

We stayed in a family chalet, that was really nicely furnished, clean and tidy. There was plenty to do for my 2-year-old niece - outdoor and indoor play areas, indoor swimming pools, and rabbits. We enjoyed nice walks in the area, BBQ facilities in or chalet and peacefulness. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Christa 5 Jan 2019 #### Great Location Great Location ##### Christa Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Venessa 15 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Picture Perfect Gorgeous rooms, comfortable very modern.

Three facilities for family and children are great. The only downside was that there is no lifeguards as the pool area and no warning signs that the steps rapidly lead to a deep end. The last point was some of the reception staff are rude and some are racist, which has been a complaint from other patrons. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Fantastic resort with the worst reception staff, South Africa 7 Jan 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic resort with the worst reception staff Fantastic resort, stunning location, great scenery, Kiara Lodge is probably the best resort I have been to in ages, this stay would have been so much greater had it not been for their most foolish bunch of racist reception staff, the most unfriendly and unwelcoming reception staff in any resort. Many people at the resort had similar complaints but to no avail because there seems to be a strong link between reception staff and management. I will definitely take up this case to the owners of Kiara and hopefully they will sort this issue. For now all I can say is that Kiara Lodge is probably the most beautiful resort in its region and definitely I would rate it as 5star had it not been for the most unfriendly and unhelpful reception staff. I can say more regarding them but I don't wish to further embarrass them. The truth will soon be exposed to the board of directors who will hopefully handle this bunch of guys who fail to display good character especially to guests of the resort. Sorry I just forgot to mention that the rest of the staff from security to the house keeping etc were amazing, wonderful and great people.... Thanks ##### Fantastic resort with the worst reception staff Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Palace of the Lost City at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Palace-Of-The-Lost-City-At-Sun-City-Resort.h392096.Hotel-Information) > > [Bush Bungalows at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-Bush-Bungalows-At-Sun-City-Resort.h21342419.Hotel-Information) > > [Mdluli Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Mdluli-Safari-Lodge.h38870272.Hotel-Information) > > [Pumba Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grahamstown-Hotels-Pumba-Private-Game-Reserve.h2319463.Hotel-Information) > > [Kwa Maritane Self-Catering Chalets](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Kwa-Maritane-Self-Catering-Chalets.h22471915.Hotel-Information) > > [Golden Gate Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Golden-Gate-Highlands-National-Park-Hotels-Golden-Gate-Hotel.h9473125.Hotel-Information) > > [Vuyani Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Safari-Lodge-All-Inclusive.h36961786.Hotel-Information) > > [Milkwood Manor on Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Plettenberg-Bay-Hotels-Milkwood-Manor-On-Sea.h5818615.Hotel-Information) > > [Gooderson Drakensberg Gardens Golf & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Drakensberg-Gardens-Hotels-Gooderson-Drakensberg-Gardens-Golf-Spa-Resort.h890693.Hotel-Information) > > [Sanbona Wildlife Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barrydale-Hotels-Sanbona-Wildlife-Reserve.h1155735.Hotel-Information) > > [Margate Beach Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margate-Hotels-Margate-Beach-Club.h9458217.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lodge Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Elizabeth-Hotels-Pine-Lodge-Resort.h15958076.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Marlin All-Inclusive Seascape by Dream Resorts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Scottburgh-Hotels-Blue-Marlin-Hotel.h10019868.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun City Hotel and Casino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-Soho-Hotel-Casino-At-Sun-City-Resort.h527184.Hotel-Information) > > [Bakubung Bush Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Bakubung-Bush-Lodge.h526965.Hotel-Information) > > [Shamwari Eagles Crag](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paterson-Hotels-Shamwari-Eagles-Crag.h29151230.Hotel-Information) > > [Dolphin View Cabanas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Umdloti-Hotels-Dolphin-View-Cabanas.h10410615.Hotel-Information) > > [Bains Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bloemfontein-Hotels-Bains-Lodge.h5272194.Hotel-Information) > > [Sebatana Private Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vaalwater-Hotels-Sebatana-Private-Reserve.h32459379.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cascades Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cascades-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9515.Hotel-Information) > > [Selborne Golf Estate, Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pennington-Hotels-First-Group-Selborne-Golf.h4329711.Hotel-Information) > > [Entabeni Mountain Lodges](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mookgopong-Hotels-Entabeni-Safari-Conservancy.h2238484.Hotel-Information) > > [On The Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Durban-North-Hotels-On-The-Beach.h100470383.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cabanas Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cabanas-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9459.Hotel-Information) > > [Jock Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Jock-Safari-Lodge.h1197267.Hotel-Information) > > [Kilima Private Game Reserve and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kareeberg-Hotels-Kilima-Private-Game-Reserve-And-Spa.h91639474.Hotel-Information) > > [Rukiya Safari Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Rukiya-Safari-Camp.h18302655.Hotel-Information) > > [Vuyani River Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Tented-Camp-All-Inclusive.h57157744.Hotel-Information) > > [Misty Mountain Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Storms-River-Hotels-Misty-Mountain-Reserve.h12696923.Hotel-Information) ---
