Kiara Lodge - Body Bliss Day Spa

Very clean and well looked after resort. Friendly and accommodating staff. Great facilities.Would definately visit again

We had a great visit recently. Good place for the family, friendly staff and enjoyed heated swimming pool.Wonderful vie of the mountains

Stayed in a chalet which was reasonably priced, spotlessly clean and had great views of the valley and mountains. The lodge is very well run and has nice facilities for kids as well as many outdoor activities for adults. I am super impressed by this place.

Everything about this resort is great. The accommodation, the facilities and the very friendly staff. The unit in which we stayed was very modern, clean and comfortable. It had 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a good sized living area with a built in fireplace/stove and a lovely stoep with a built-in braai. The two couches in the living area can also be converted to beds for small kiddies. Unfortunately the pools were being revamped at the time of our visit, but we will just have to return to make use of the facility. There is a restaurant on the premises, we did however not order anything from it, but according to management the food is delicious and bookings essential as it is a very popular restaurant. Thank you, we had a lovely relaxing weekend at Kiara.

Most amazing experience. Kid friendly safe environment. Heated under cover pools and play areas for kids. Mountain hikes available. A short drive into Golden gate park. Friendly service.Dam for fishing, waterfall hike, bushmen cave art. Great area for bird lovers An altogether amazing experience.

Beautiful, serene with indoor and outdoor play area for kids and clean and comfortable chalets. Kids loved the warm indoor pool, which had a big shallow end for non-swimmers and comfortable deck chairs for parents not inclined to join offspring. Only downside is the restaurant, which had limited halal options.

A resort in Clarens on the other side of the drubkensburg mountain. Took the family here for a Pre winter getaway. Not sure where to start so I'll break this down in sections.1. Environment: this is a long drive from any near cities, the roads to this place are ok, some pot holes in Mpumalanga as usual but not too bad. The lodge itself is hemmed in by mountain ranges, it is picturesque, if sometimes uninspiring. The lodge is large with all the amenities centralised. It's a good place for kids to run around (supervised), large play area, warm pool, games room, a dam, put-put golf, and big restaurant. Once here I'd say settled in for there is little around it to go see.2. Accomodation: our chalet is good but not kitted out well. This place is essentially self catering however, not everything needed to self catering is available. There is no microwave in the chalet for example, no stove. So for food you have to relay on the restaurant, which I'll cover below. For some essentials there is a kiost where you can buy firewood to warm the chalet and some basic food stuffs. One thing is it's quiet, there is no external noise from cars, just the sound of birds chirping.3. Food: this is entirely based on my experience at the restaurant since it's the only source of proper food on site. The food has been hit and miss. The menu is generally diverse, a typical South African type of offering. Got breakfast, sandwiches, braai meat, burgers, casseroles, etc. The quality is ok, I'll not be singing it's praise. All I am say is don't be too picky and fastidious and you'll have an ok time.4. Experience: the staff are friendly, polite if a times slow (restaurant). The place is nice to just relax and take it easy. The kids have enjoyed it, they have a lot of space to run around in.Overall, it's been a good stay but I don't think I'll be back. It's a 4 hour drive from JHB for a small pay off.

We stayed in one of the cabins. Clean, warm, comfortable with a view to die for. Just breathtaking. Service was friendly and very helpful. Will definately visit again.

Wonderful experience..best weekend we had as family... mountain views and hospitality.. wow

My wife and I decided to spend our 30 wedding anniversary at the Kiara Lodge.The rooms were fantastic and the staff couldn't do enough for you.We actually planned the stay at the Lodge due to it's proximity to the Golden Gate.Although the Golden Gate was a bit of a disappointment, the Lodge made up for it.Was a Bed & Breakfast scenario and neither of theses aspects were a let down as the rooms were cozy and well kept and the Breakfast was of a Hugh standard.There is a 'Put-Put' course as well as various other entertaining feature like a massive baloon-type trampoline which really keeps the kids entertained.The rooms have air conditioning as well as a fireplace which was very convenient for the wife and I especially during the chilly evenings.Overall, I highly recommend the Kiara Lodge.
