Coming to the lodge I had very high expectations, it is a 5 star establishment after all. Arriving: We were met by our ranger at the gate who gave us a prep talk on all the do's and don'ts. Our luggage was whiskey away in a different car whilst we had a leisury drive into the lodge. On drive to... More

Beautiful scenery. Friendly but disorganized staff. Good food however two people from our party were vomiting?? Place is run down, dirty and totally unequipped to handle cold weather. We froze from the time we arrived to the time we left. Manager has left disgusting offensive note in the room requesting exorbitant staff tips rather than suggesting tipping for excellent service...

Perhaps the most beautiful accommodation I have experienced to date. The room is completely private, has a beautiful deck with plunge pool overlooking a cliff with a beautiful river below. The privacy and space is well worth the cost. Service and food was excellent. Would definitely go back. So if you want a Safari with absolute comfort and beauty then... More

I have never been so happy as i was at Clifftop in December 2010. I travelled with my daughter and from the time we arrived we were treated like complete royals. Our room was absolutely fabulous, the food was scrumtous, the dining experience was out of this world and well our butler was there at our every beck and call.... More

We had a horrific experience at this lodge. My husband and I are both South African and travel to the bush often, so have lots of experience of this type of travel. However, we can honestly say that we were never so disappointed and poorly treated in a lodge in SA ever! To start with, the lodge is filthy. When... More

We stayed in Clifftop for 3 nights as part of our honeymoon. The lodge as well as the place is situated in is unbelievable. Great rooms with a fantastic view. All the staff (but more specific the ranger and the battlers) were very kind and very helpful. They prepared us dinner in our room, dinner in the cellar. Very good... More

Hi Shelley Thanx for the warm welcome - we really did not want to return to Cape Town! We had a wonderful time at the lodge. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The game ranger (Stefanie) was excellent, very knowledgeable and accommodating. We saw the big five within the first three game drives, which in itself is a great... More

Clifftop is without doubt a beautiful, peaceful and luxurious lodge at what by the standards of many such establishments in South Aftrica is reasonably priced. Ryan, the chef not only offers entertainment with his menu introduction but also produces first class fare. Ranger Stephanie had boundless knowledge of the country's game albeit at times we felt we had to encourage... More

We had a great deal on a 2-night weekday stay at this lodge, which has capacity for 20 but we were the only 4 people staying! Needless to say we were looked after royally by the resient chef, butlers manager and ranger. The lodge is situated (as the name suggests) overlooking a dramatic green and beautiful river gorge, and is... More
