Nothing

Such a friendly welcome by wonderful after a long drive. Cool air conditioned, huge clean room with crisp white sheets and a comfy bed is what you can expect.

I didn't realize it was a hunting reserve and I'm totally against it, hanged stuffed animal's heads and pictures with dead animals...

Superb surroundings, nice staff and beautiful room

The road to get there

Very friendly team. Clean and spacious rooms. Breakfast and dinner was excellent. Very serene and quiet. Overall a great stay.

That we had to leave... The only improvement that could further enhance the experience would be a more descriptive social media presense to better include non-hunting activities & options.

All around great service, set in a beautiful scenery! Fantastically friendly staff, delicious meals and a comfortable & clean room.

The fact that it is a hunting lodge, which we weren't really aware of when we booked. We are animal lovers and all the taxidermy freaked us out somewhat.

Staff and service were lovely. Bike ride in the reserve was fun.

The dirt road to Otterskloof

The staff Hester and The chef Orlandi welcomed us with a cold welcome drink and hand clothes. They were very friendly and took us to our room. Otterskloof is an Oasis in the dessert.

Slightly off the N1 but worth the drive. have to be able to drive dirt road.

So quiet and serene. The Karoo has a stillness that you get nowhere else. The service ,dinner and breakfast was fantastic, the room super luxury, unfortunately not a bath.

We had an amazing time at Otters Kloof. The staff was really impressive and the food was top quality. The drive around the farm was also enjoyable. Enjoyed the game viewing.

The road after all the rain between Phillipolis and Otterskloof. Especially if you do not drive a 4x4.

The whole experience. Food. Accommodation. Staff was 120%.

the road getting there is in bad condition. the dinner was a bit disappointing. it could have been a nice atmosphere, the dining room is great, but somehow it felt more like a canteen, since it was so noisy and too many people just running around. staff could be trained better to make guests feel comfortable. it was very noisy from the kitchen and I had the impression staff wanted us to finish eating as quick as possible. also communication was difficult. when we arrived the staff did not really talk to us, also when we left. they were not aware that we had booked two rooms, not only one. the amount deducted by booking was not correct and the hotel didn’t know I had made a payment already. finally leaving we didn’t get a code to leave the property so we had to drive back. it’s a shame that all these issues spoiled the experience which could have been much better as the place itself is really nice.

great place, the rooms are nicely decorated, beds very comfortable

25 km drive from Phillipolis on corrugated dirt road Dinner a bit on the expensive side

Nice big rooms ours had a fireplace. Good breakfast.Great staff

I did not know it was a shooting / hunting Lodge. I feel quite strongly that should have been mentioned in the info on the web. The actual name was the Otterskloof Hunting Lodge. I found it upsetting personally.

The food was very nice for evening and breakfast. The staff were charming and helpful. We were the only people in a large lodge so it was very quiet! They lit fires etc to keep us warm as the weather was turning to winter. Quote a long way from Philipolis as the dirt track was very wet after heavy rains.

The plumbing is bad, the dinner over priced, staff although friendly have little finesse, drinking water had to be fetched, skipped breakfast because of price, receptionist unprofessional, kitchen staff also served up the food wearing their hygiene hair nets, do lights have to be on all night, very little information about the place in the file, not being warned about needing a 4x4 to get there specially if it had rained!

Nice bed
