The owner and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Great service. I will stay there again. Good value for money. ##### Leonard B Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Christopher Mar 7, 2023 Disliked: Staff & service A couple of things we enjoyed about the property included (i) great breakfast that was included the only morning we were there; and (ii) when we checked in the owner went out of her way to make us feel welcome. The reason for the poor review is due to the fact we were not provided a refund for the final two nights of our stay despite the fact the staff told us we could cancel and that we'd be provided a refund. Our room did not include air conditioning and our stay was over a few days in which temperatures were extremely hot. My wife was pregnant and literally did not sleep the one night we stayed there, and could not tolerate staying another two nights. I asked the front desk if we could cancel our last two nights and receive a refund. The staff said we would, but we'd need to coordinate with Expedia to receive the refund. I've spent the last two months trying to coordinate with Expedia to receive a refund. Each time I reached out, Expedia was not able to actually get an answer from the property. Finally, today, they got an answer from the property after which I was informed I would not receive a refund. The fact that the staff specifically told me I could cancel and receive a refund is one of the reasons we did actually cancel our final two nights. As a result of this experience, I would not recommend staying at this property. We did stay the last two nights at the Views Boutique Hotel & Spa in Wilderness. I would highly recommend this hotel of Blackwaters. ##### Christopher ### 8/10 Good #### Bontemps Jan 4, 2026 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Petit golf et lieu ( rivière , fire pit ,…) très sympa , personnel très gentil .

The staff were superb and nothing was too much trouble. We had a classic room but if we were staying again we would upgrade to a luxury room. This was not available for our dates but for the price, luxury is a vastly better option. The classic rooms are clean and comfortable but have not yet been refurbished. Be aware that the water from the taps is a dark brown colour and might be off-putting to some. Drinking water is provided and is plentiful. The water wasn’t a problem to us. We loved the setting of the property and enjoyed a tasty breakfast admiring the view from the terrace. An enjoyable visit, thank you! ##### PMD1959 Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nosithembele Sep 29, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Glorious Getaway It was the best place we have ever booked.

Having been affected by the fires last year this hotel is slowly getting back on their feet. We got upgraded to beautiful suites and the little details that were left in our room made it special and memorable. The front of house staff and the kitchen/breakfast guys are absolutely wonderful and so friendly and it was so nice to hear their stories. A great asset to this establishment. There is currently a water problem in SA and this hotel is trying to be resourceful by using water from the lake that runs through their property, the only downside to this is the water coming through the taps is slightly brown which is a little off putting when washing. We would highly recommend this place based on the comfort and staff though! ##### Nesreen ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 24, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wundervolle Lodge direkt am Blackwater River Wundervolle Lodge direkt im Wald am Fluss.

Indcheckningen og ejeren kunne ikke give os det bookede Riverview værelse, da der ikke var noget ledigt - og de havde fåer bekræftelse fra Expedia.com/Hotel.com om at vi havde booket et Forrestview (trods min bekræftelse på Riverview). Intet kunne de gøre og intet blev gjort - bortset fra at de selv henvendte sig til Expedia.com. Vi er utilfredse med ikke at have fået, hvad vi bookede og betalte for. ##### Leif ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 31, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely setting and had a great experience What a lovely experience we had. So picturesque and with staff who could not be more informative and welcoming. We had a great time with great food, room and service. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Jan 27, 2017 Disliked: Staff & service #### Nice location peaceful retreat The restaurant was poor. Cooks left to their own devices with little or no training other than being able to put a small pizza together! The owners quite disinterested in following up staffs work to ensure guests get what they pay for! We ordered grilled lamb chops and they were unedible hacked to bits and burned! Over our 4night stay we had cooked breakfast every morning the muesli was old and made me unwell! For South Africa where we have only had delicious food. This was a very poor show! ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### BASHIR Jan 23, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### conveniant andfreindly very good n freindly ##### BASHIR ### 8/10 Good #### Alan Dec 4, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great hotel to base for sightseeing Very good for a short break very enjoyable visit and friendly staff good restaurant and well priced ##### Alan ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marwa Nov 21, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful surprise Lovely place, highly recommend it. Wonderful setting, relaxing atmosphere, excellent good value restaurant and personalized service. Rooms are just so cozy and at night they give you the best house made chocolates. Don't make my mistake and stay there for only 1 night. ##### Marwa ### 10/10 Excellent #### Phiwokuhle Nov 21, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The reviews on the hotel were not a lie, the service was amazing. Very friendly and welcoming The only issue was wifi in our room, but we were out most of the day other than that I don't think I will stay anywhere else, Blackwaters has my heart ##### Phiwokuhle ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bill, Wollongong, Australia Nov 10, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Choice Excellent facility in a great bushland location with friendly staff and a great restaurant. ##### Bill ### 10/10 Excellent #### Meike Nov 7, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wunderschön super schönes, mit liebe zum Detail eingerichtetes Zimmer. Grosses Bad, sehr sauber. Tolle Terrasse mit wunderschönen Blick. Als Betthupferl gibts jeden Abend einen Schnaps und Süssigkeiten. ##### Meike ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Oct 26, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ein Paradies Das Hotel liegt abseits der Strasse, ruhig im Wald an einem Fluß. Wir hatten ein tolles und geräumiges Zimmer mit Terrasse zum Fluß. Man muß etwas auf seine Sachen aufpassen, weil freilaufende Affen daran Gefallen finden könnten. Das Hotel-Team ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller May 14, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Road warrior on the garden route I was upgraded to a river room which was spacious with extra amenities and I loved the bathtub. Wish I had more time to take a canoe out and explore ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Paola, Toronto Apr 6, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Room amenities The rooms were EXCELLENT The restaurant was pleasing - but food only ok and the service could have been better. We only got scraps for breakfast as we got there 20 min before closing -- and the restaurant was visually unpleasant. ##### Paola ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tim Mar 14, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Gemütliches Hotel im Dschungel Sehr schönes Hotel etwas außerhalb von Knysna direkt am Fluß. Absolut ruhig gelegen, echtes Dschungel-Feeling. Abends vor dem Zimmer sitzen ist unvergesslich. :-) Zimmer sehr sauber, großzügig ausgestattet, Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Frühstück einfach, aber lecker -- besonders empfehlenswert das selbst gebackene Brot. ##### Tim ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Standard High Line](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-The-Standard-High-Line.h10630123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Pearson-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aYYZ-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Polokwane](https://www.expedia.ca/Polokwane-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Polokwane.h17771611.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in New York](https://www.expedia.ca/John-F-Kennedy-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aJFK-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Alt Hotel Toronto Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Alt-Hotel-Toronto-Airport.h5178157.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Edmonton Centre Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Edmonton-Centre-Suites.h27985.Hotel-Information) > > [Living Stone Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Collingwood-Hotels-Living-Stone-Golf-Resort.h1590687.Hotel-Information) > > [Thorn & Feather (Vermaaklikheid)](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermaaklikheid-Hotels-Thorn-Feather.h61102048.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Canada.d31.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels.d178315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Marriott Downtown at CF Toronto Eaton Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Marriott-Downtown-At-CF-Toronto-Eaton-Centre.h26155.Hotel-Information) > > [Aquila Private Game Reserve & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Touws-River-Hotels-Aquila-Private-Game-Reserve-Spa.h6347327.Hotel-Information) > > [Mafigeni Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Gravelotte-Hotels-Mafigeni-Safari-Lodge.h3954755.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yyc/vancouver-to-calgary) > > [Air Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Air-Canada-Flights.cAC.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Bellingham (BLI) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bli/las/bellingham-to-las-vegas) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Simpson Bay (SXM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/sxm/toronto-to-philipsburg) > > [Flights from Guangzhou (CAN) to Richmond (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/can/yvr/guangzhou-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Richmond (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yvr/toronto-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Nairobi (NBO) to Dorval (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/nbo/yul/nairobi-to-montreal) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Vancouver-Intl.d5396057.Car-Rental-Guide)
