What a gem! 💎 excellent place to reconnect with yourself in nature, away from everything yet good reception and wifi is available too. Difficult to get there in a small car but you get to enjoy the game drive with a variety of the wildlife. Directions were detailed, easy to find. Service is amazing, the staff is very friendly, go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. Amazing breakfast and great facilities. Special thanks to Andile, Sindi & Kay for the wonderful service.

This place is still a resting haven. Môre relaxing without to be bored. The Villas is spacious and clean. Most important the bed and pillows so comfy. I slept like a baby with lots of oxygen from the trees, with a morning wakeup with different bird sounds. Everything about this place is so good. We went to the Spa and you cannot get better.. The food and especially the Kingklip were very smart and delicious. Still the best value for money at Karkloof Spa. Here and there is a little difference, but overall nothing that can spoil a fantastic relaxing weekend . Thank you Karkloof Safari Spa for your warm hospitality.

Still thinking about this spa experience… absolutely breathtaking. The scenery alone is enough to make you exhale and just be, so peaceful, so beautifully untouched. The tranquility and ambiance created the perfect escape from everything. And the service? Impeccable. Every detail was handled with such care and professionalism. I genuinely had the best massage of my life, the kind that melts away stress you didn’t even realize you were holding.

Our family had the most amazing time at Karkloof Safari Spa this weekend ! The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. When it was raining they even brought us umbrellas right to our rooms! Henry was our chef and he made the most delicious meals always talking to us after the meal to ask if we enjoyed it. The spa was the most relaxing experience I have ever had and this spa is definitely a must visit when coming to Karkloof, it is absolutely gorgeous and the treatments are amazing! The wildlife was just as breathtaking, we saw many beautiful animals! I really have nothing bad to say about this lovely experience at Karkloof and would really recommend visiting this place!
