My stay was pleasant overall, with a lovely relaxed atmosphere and enjoyable amenities. The chalet was spacious and the resort offered a nice range of activities, but I found the pricing to be a bit on the higher side, especially for just two guests. I would suggest considering a day visit instead of an overnight stay during the winter when it can get quite chilly.
Rooms
6.0
The chalets were spacious with separate bedrooms, a kitchen, and a deck area for BBQs. However, one of the rooms lacked air conditioning and made our stay uncomfortable when it got cold, and that was a downside.

Staying at this resort was a rejuvenating experience, surrounded by nature and tranquility. The on-site dining offered tasty meals, and the views were absolutely stunning. However, the distance between the chalet and the restaurant was a bit inconvenient, and if you're not prepared for the hikes, it might not be ideal for everyone.

This resort offers stunning views of the canyon and has a variety of hiking trails that were both beautiful and accessible. The bungalow we stayed in was well-equipped and quiet, providing the perfect retreat after a day of exploration. The dining experience was decent, though some menu items could be improved for taste and freshness. Overall, it's a great getaway, but the value might shift depending on the number of guests sharing the accommodation.

I had a wonderful time at this resort, thanks to its fantastic location that's perfect for exploring the beautiful Blyde Canyon. The accommodations were spacious, and while they were clean, I think they could use some improvements for better comfort. The dining options were adequate but could be more appealing, especially with kids in tow. Overall, it's a solid choice if you prioritize exploring the surroundings over luxurious amenities.

While the location was perfect for exploring the Panorama Route and the hiking trails were fantastic, I found the accommodations to be lacking. The facilities were generally good, but the dining options left much to be desired with some cold food. Overall, it served as a decent base, but there's room for improvement.
