Excellent Property
What a stunning property, and amazing couple who own and run it. We loved our stay and cannot wait to visit once again - 2 nights was just too short. On a side note - the beds were like sleeping on a cloud.

This is a winner
I loved my stay at Lily Pond. Beautiful grounds and pond. Incredible bird life, singing frogs and absolutely no traffic noise to disturb the peace and tranquility. My accommodation was well appointed, comfortable, spacious and modern - I loved it. Niels and Margaret (owners/managers) were attentive, gracious and genuinely friendly hosts. I chose to have dinners at Lily Pond too - they were mouth-wateringly delicious! This place is a winner and I will be back very soon.

10/10 Exceptional

My wife and I found the staff and our hosts to be very welcoming and extremely helpful. It was a real pleasure to stay at the Lily Pond Country Lodge. The Baboons wandering around the extremities of the grounds took us by surprise at first but on being assured that they were safe we enjoyed the experience. The rooms were large, high quality and very comfortable although the open plan nature of the bedroom and bathroom was not what we would have chosen..

It is not difficult to see why Lily Pond gets consistently good reviews. Such consistent reviews don’t just happen - they are testament to the professionalism and efforts of the owners, Niels and Margaret. Refreshing to see such hands on owners who have also trained their staff to their own high standards. Everything runs smoothly and apparently effortlessly but that only comes with excellent ownership/management. Spotlessly clean, very stylish with great attention to detail, excellent food and staff - could have taken Faith home with me for her smile and personality. Niels and Margaret you deserve your success - thank you. To anyone reading this I can highly recommend Lily Pond and would definitely stay again if in the area. Car wash was a nice extra touch!!

Well worth a visit.
Amazing relaxing place to stay. Attentive staff and food was absolutely fantastic. Our suite was lovely but be wary of the ordinary garden rooms as the toilet has no door or privacy. May not concern you but our friends who stayed in one found it very disconcerting.

We had a marvellous stay, not long enough but would recommend to anyone visiting that part of South Africa.

Not to be missed! This place is heaven on earth!!
This is by far THE BEST PLACE we've been to in SA and in general. The level of service is so high you won't believe it. The room is beautiful with gorgeous view to the pond. It was top clean with premium bedding. The in house restaurant is amazing. Food was delicious and service was perfect. The owners spend time with each guest every day asking them how was their day and what are their plans for the next days. Breakfast at tge garden was also delicious and made for order. Our car has been washed every day! To sum up: GO THERE! Great value for money and you'll have the best stay for sure! We spent 2 nights there and we were very sad to leave.

Allez y les yeux fermés !
Je dois manger sans gluten, c'est le seul et unique endroit où le chef cuisinier à eu plein d'intentions pour que je puisse profiter pleinement de mon séjour. Petit muffin sans gluten au petit déjeuner, idem pour les repas du soir, entrée plat dessert sans gluten. Je le remercie vivement pour cela. Accueil chaleureux. Rien à redire, endroit au calme exceptionnel, personnel discret et gentil. Bravo à tous

8/10 Very good

Die Lodge ist sehr schön, vor allem der Blick vom Zimmer auf den Lilienteich ist fantastisch. Die Lodge wird von einem sehr kommunikativen, freundlichen und diskussionsfreudigem holländischen Päarchen geführt. Beide sind um ihre Gäste sehr bemüht und hilfsbereit. Zum dinner hat man abends die Wahl zwischen einem vegetarischen Menü oder Fleisch/Fischmenü (3 Gänge). Das dinner ist sehr gut organisiert und lecker. Von der Lodge sind es ca. 6 km bis zum Strand von Nature Valley.
