Lily Pond was a fantastic experience that I would repeat.

Beautiful tranquil location with nice room overlooking the pond. Unbelievable staff and I mean unbelievable. Attentive; friendly; knowledgeable. Dinner was spectacular and I recommend it. Overall a 6* experience. Load shedding was not impactful.

Trouvaille, iedereen aan te raden!

Echt een ontdekking! Bijzondere architectuur. Heerlijk gegeten, riante woning met mooi terras en schitterende tuin, erg gastvrij.

Badkamer (en dus ook de wc) is niet afgesloten van het zit/slaapgedeelte.

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful stay in Lily Pond Country Lodge. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Bronwan was the most dedicated manager we‘ve ever came across. She did a great job in giving us advices on daily trips. We had the opportunity to eat twice at the restaurant and the chef has created great menus for us! The waiters were excellent. We had a wonderful time! Thank you

A very special find

Loved the setting and the friendly staff, nothing was too much trouble. Bronwan, the Manager was so helpful. Randall the Chef and Elsabe his Assistant Chef provided us with a wonderful meal and service. Fires were lit and rooms warmed in advance of our arrival as it was a cool evening. The grounds, pool and pond were beautiful. Room was spacious, beautifully fitted out and opened onto a deck area overlooking the pond. Honesty bar in each room. We will definitely return for longer when the sun shines.

Perfect getaway close to Natures Valley.

Very friendly and attending staff. Ww rented the Suite which was very nice decorated and with comfortable beds. We specifically enjoyed the outdoor shower.

The pool wasn’t that inviting because the water wasn’t clean.

The lily pond and the pool made this very special.

view from our bedroom over the lily pond

I found there was not enough lighting in the bathroom. I had to plug the hairdryer into the socket in the bathroom as it was the only one near to a mirror.

Beautiful guest house but my stay was spoilt due to some things missing.

The location is beautiful. It’s on a country road that leads down to Natures valley. The rooms are set looking at the lily ponds which are beautiful but be prepared as it is a little remote and if you want to go out for dinner in the evening it’s quiet a drive back in the dark. The breakfast was very good, just would have liked it not to have been so rushed, the breakfast staff were lovely but they were bringing the cooked food before you finish the fruit and yoghurt. The seating is outdoors which is very nice.

When we arrived there was no one on reception so we walked in and my husband was greeted with Who are You! There was no information pack in the room but it was bought in later. There was dinner in the evening but very limited choice so we didn’t take it and had to drive out which wasn’t ideal as Lily Ponds is quiet remote. There is a small tv in the room so after going out for dinner we decided to put it on for an hour only to find that it’s disconnected. I asked the owner if someone could help me set it up was told that it was disconnected as there was no call for it! The next morning as we are early risers we made tea from the tea tray only to find that there was no milk. I went to the main building but it was locked and no-one was about. I waited for over an hour and eventually ended up having to drive out to the garage to pick up some milk for my tea. As you can imagine I wasn’t best pleased at not being able to have my tea when I got up. My husband told the owner and her reply was There’s no call for it! No call for milk in the room! Well I’m sorry but there is definitely call for milk with tea in the morning and it totally ruined my whole day. It’s the small things that can totally ruin what should have been a fabulous stay and for us it means that we wouldn’t return. The owner didn’t even apologise to me having to go out and fetch milk. For future visitors also be aware that the dinner is not every night and you may have to drive out for dinner. The menu is limited so you may still have to drive out for dinner. If the owners decide there’s no call for a certain item then it may be missing.

Tranquility, fine food and lovely people.

Everything at Lily Pond was superb: warm, friendly owners and staff, beautiful room and grounds and the food was some of the best we’ve had on our trip.

Duvet was very heavy (a minor quibble). I found the room a little dark but some may prefer this. Again a very minor thing and it didn’t detract from our enjoyment.

Amazing location, with woods and mountains around and sea/beach closeby.

Most beautiful and tranquil location with the Lily ponds, woods surrounding, mountains and the sea closeby. Breakfast was good and staff very friendly. Dining room where we had dinner beautiful, full of character, with the fire going.

Just keep-up the great work and friendliness.
