Hotels with Parking in Wakkerstroom

The location is stunning, as the lodge is situated inside a huge land with ponds and hills where several types of wild animals roam freely (zebras, buffalo, eland, ostriches, etc.). Our room was spacious and very comfortable - the only downside being that the shower is literally inside the bedroom with no door to it, so water gets splashed outside unfortunately - and the high, king-sized bed was the most comfortable we've tried in South Africa. There was a bathtub in the open bathroom area which we never used. Before we arrived, we got a bit lost on the way as Google Maps took us on dead-end roads in the nearby town covered with tall wetlands grass, but thanks to Lulu and her sister who helped us on the phone and waited for us on the street in town, we were able to make it safely to the lodge, albeit very late at night! Thankfully, Christa came to pick us up after we parked at the gate since our car wouldn't have made it on the muddy road leading up to the lodge. Christa was so helpful during our stay, advising us on where to exchange money and helping us with the roads to take. A highlight of our stay at Wetlands Game Lodge was actually the food, especially the heavenly OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD fillet that melts in your mouth that was skillfully prepared by Chef Denzel. Dinner was waiting for us when we checked in around 10:30PM, and the fillet was still unbelievable! We ordered the same meat the next day, and we were pleased with the same quality. Also, Chef Denzel prepared a surprise cake for my husband as it was his birthday and Valentine's Eve as well, and the cake was excellent, too! Breakfast was decent and the latte was a great addition. We tried the couple massage with two ladies and were very pleased. We highly recommend this exceptional lodge and we hope to return soon!

Very Spacious and well appointed. Our hosts were very welcoming and left detailed instructions for us.

I had a truly delightful stay. Fay and Colin welcomed me with genuine warmth, and their exceptional service and professionalism were beyond reproach. The room matched the images I had seen online perfectly and offered a lovely view of the nearby dam, which was an unexpected but pleasant surprise. Thoughtful touches such as extra blankets, an electric blanket, and a fireplace ensured I remained comfortably warm throughout my stay. And the breakfast — clearly prepared with love — was absolutely delicious. I am already looking forward to my next visit.

Lovely people, lovely place. Very charming.

We were blown away by the exceptional service from the staff! They were friendly, proactive, and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. From the pre-booking confirmation call to the extra blankets provided in our room, everything was taken care of with a smile. Highly recommend!

A bit off the beaten path, but with an exquisite, expansive view of the countryside, my stay was magnificent. I was there for two nights (way too short)! There was a full breakfast, and the birding tips were invaluable.
