Recommended place to stay. ##### Craig Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2022 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### M Aug 17, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service #### Disappointing We booked at Kiara Lodge because of the facilities they offered (cause no one just stay 12km out side of the nearest town) The hot water pools (which was supposed to be open on 1 Aug) was still closed on 13 Aug. 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 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joy Jul 20, 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 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 19, 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 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashlin Jan 21, 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 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Colin Dec 11, 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 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Michaela Nov 1, 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 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Christa Jan 5, 2019 #### Great Location Great Location ##### Christa Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Venessa Aug 15, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Picture Perfect Gorgeous rooms, comfortable very modern.

The wi fi was never available in the unit ##### Gareth Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2018 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jan 13, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Family Holiday The Hotel was excellent and clean. 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 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Fantastic resort with the worst reception staff Jan 7, 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 > - [Sun City Hotel and Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Sun-City-Hotels-Soho-Hotel-Casino-At-Sun-City-Resort.h527184.Hotel-Information) > - [Bon Accord Farm Cottages](https://www.expedia.ca/Montagu-Hotels-Bon-Accord-Farm-Cottages.h44815240.Hotel-Information) > - [The Palace of the Lost City at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Palace-Of-The-Lost-City-At-Sun-City-Resort.h392096.Hotel-Information) > - [33 The Bridge Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Lucia-Hotels-33-The-Bridge-Resort.h38866374.Hotel-Information) > - [Jock Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Jock-Safari-Lodge.h1197267.Hotel-Information) > - [Rivermead](https://www.expedia.ca/Himeville-Hotels-Rivermead.h12834703.Hotel-Information) > - [The Royal Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Riebeek-Kasteel-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h13309978.Hotel-Information) > - [Thorn & Feather (Vermaaklikheid)](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermaaklikheid-Hotels-Thorn-Feather.h61102048.Hotel-Information) > - [Lighthouse Guesthouse & Cafe](https://www.expedia.ca/Groblersdal-Hotels-Lighthouse-Guesthouse-Cafe.h19269801.Hotel-Information) > - [Ukuthula Bush Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Ukuthula-Bush-Lodge.h40271242.Hotel-Information) > - [Ledges Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Jagersrust-Hotels-Ledges-Retreat.h31484582.Hotel-Information) > - [The Cabanas Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cabanas-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9459.Hotel-Information) > - [Leopard Tree Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Lucia-Hotels-Lalapanzi-Guest-House.h18236837.Hotel-Information) > - [Livingstone Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Wilderness-Hotels-Livingstone-Villa.h5300101.Hotel-Information) > - [The Tops](https://www.expedia.ca/Wilderness-Hotels-The-Tops.h42283698.Hotel-Information) > - [The Beach Cottage Betty's Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Bettys-Bay-Hotels-The-Beach-Cottage-Bettys-Bay.h44540317.Hotel-Information) > - [Zimbali Condo](https://www.expedia.ca/Ballito-Hotels-Zimbali-Condo.h14730767.Hotel-Information) > - [Sandpiper Guest Cottages](https://www.expedia.ca/Boggoms-Bay-Hotels-Sandpiper-Guest-Cottages.h10437635.Hotel-Information) > - [Nkambeni Safari Camp](https://www.expedia.ca/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Nkambeni-Safari-Camp.h2202798.Hotel-Information) > - [Mafigeni Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Gravelotte-Hotels-Mafigeni-Safari-Lodge.h3954755.Hotel-Information) > - [Bosbok Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Phalaborwa-Hotels-Bosbok-Lodge.h36027048.Hotel-Information) > - [Sani Mountain Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Sani-Pass-Hotels-Sani-Mountain-Lodge.h36116080.Hotel-Information) > - [Royal Sibaya Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Hillhead-Hotels-Royal-Sibaya-Hotel.h19629214.Hotel-Information) > - [Marlin Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Lucia-Hotels-Marlin-Lodge.h6020379.Hotel-Information) > - [Rafiki Bush Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Rafiki-Bush-Lodge.h91839295.Hotel-Information) > - [Mmakuba Private Game Lodge ](https://www.expedia.ca/Mookgopong-Hotels-Mmakuba-Private-Game-Lodge.h107148272.Hotel-Information) > - [Highland Rose Country House & Serenity Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Dullstroom-Hotels-Highland-Rose-Country-House-Serenity-Spa.h33207170.Hotel-Information) > - [Kogman and Keisie Guest Farm](https://www.expedia.ca/Montagu-Hotels-Kogman-And-Keisie-Guest-Farm.h15538127.Hotel-Information)
