Guest review
8.0The physicality is breath taking! It is close enough to Johannesburg that a quick weekend getaway is doable without driving for untold hours before you reach your destination. This is quiet hideaway, and even though Wi-Fi availability is advertised, there is no cover in the accommodation that we used. Spotty Wi-Fi is available in the reception area. The approach roadway is bad! So no small cars as you need height or off-road ability, large cars are wide and are damaged by encroaching vegetation so be prepared. 8 km of dust Road took us around 50 minutes to complete, so if you are looking for driving fun en route to your destination, then this place is great.
Mountain views
8.0This is a place where you stop everything and become still... great mountain views and walking trails.
Comfortable Lodge in beautiful wooded hills
10.0Very comfortable, quiet and clean. Lovely country. Excellent friendly staff.
Perfect place to unwind and relax
8.0We Enjoyed our stay in this beautiful and relaxing place. It was great. Perfect place to unwind and destress
worst accommodation ever
2.0It was a fiasco. incorrect gps co ordinates, wrong directions, I did expect the goverment road to be deplorable and at least I was not disappointed. The gravel road to the site is a disgrace and almost impassible. Some of the bushes could be trimmed so as not to scratch vehicles, the road can also be graded to make them a little more road worthy. I specifically asked for NO DAIRY yet I was served dairy almost immediately. Plus I was served lumpy tomato soup as substitute. How can you make lumpt tomato soup? Its not easy to, but this they excelled in. The bed base was very dusty, under the bed was no better. I went with my daughter for a short getaway after the passing of my husband and we both returned home more stressed. I cannot, in all clear conscience recommend Forest Creek Lodge. I was charged 5 star prices and received 2 star treatment. Overall review. Stay away from Forest Crook Lodge at all costs
