    great amenities
    helpful staff

    This place suits me perfectly with great amenities like free wi-fi, parking, and a cozy coffee shop. Staff even helped with local delivery recommendations on my first stay. I loved that! I’ll be back for a weekend.

    stunning location
    cozy atmosphere
    limited kitchen supplies
    cleanliness issues
    lack of staff

    The location was stunning, surrounded by beautiful mountains and lush nature, perfect for stargazing at night. The kitchenette had all the essentials for a night, and the outdoor bathtubs were a unique feature, albeit needing cleaning before use. Unfortunately, limited kitchen supplies and some cleanliness issues detracted from the experience, particularly the dirty bathtubs and a not-so-fresh smell in the room. The lack of staff made certain aspects feel neglected, but the cozy atmosphere and cleanliness of the linens were appreciated.

    outdated facilities
    noisy appliances

    quirky accommodation, stunning mountain views, spacious chalet

    Renovations needed everywhere!!! The outdated facilities, noisy water heater, and insufficient kitchen supplies left us wanting more comfort. Even simple things like separate taps for hot and cold in the bathroom are frustrating!!!

    beautiful location
    outdated facilities

    A cozy stay by the lake

    The beautiful location showcased the stunning mountain views, creating the perfect backdrop for our family’s restful getaway. The spacious chalet provided ample room for everyone.

    However, the communal kitchen was poorly stocked and required maintenance. Additionally, the outdated facilities impacted our overall comfort during the stay, leaving us wanting more.

    stunning views
    cozy bed
    nespresso coffee
    poor kitchen supplies
    privacy issues

    The setting of Wonderland Makarora Lodge captivated me instantly. Surrounded by lush bush and stunning mountain views, mornings felt magical with birdsong echoing through the air. My unit provided warmth and comfort – the bed was particularly cozy, perfect for a good night's sleep after a long day of exploring. Enjoying a Nespresso coffee in the morning was a delightful touch. However, I encountered some issues. The curtains in my unit didn't fully cover the windows, making me feel exposed while I was getting ready. The kitchenette lacked sufficient supplies. I had to rewash a few dishes before using them, which was inconvenient. Plus, the office had limited check-in hours – arriving after hours meant my key was merely taped to the door, and I wasn't informed about restaurant closures ahead of time. Overall, while the location and comfort of the bed made for a lovely stay, attention to kitchen and privacy details is essential for a better experience.

    the fridge in the room was too small for our needs. but the amazing mountain views from the unit were breathtaking! the swimming pool was perfect for cooling off, and the friendly staff helped us with our dinner order.

    cozy room
    outdoor swimming pool

    definitely coming here again.

    The cozy room had everything we needed, body soap, electric blankets, kitchenette with microwave, and a private bathroom. Enjoyed the outdoor swimming pool, which was perfect for relaxing. The bed was super comfy, and we loved the beautiful view from the window.
