Local area description
The lodge has everything you need (extra blankets as well) so you can just relax and take in the breathtaking views. I loved the huge balcony with the view of the river and sunset! The gas braai was also a good idea. If it’s a quiet, peaceful break you looking for, this is it. Would have loved to have the use of the heated swimming pool though.

Ek sal Stonehill enige tyd aanbeveel. Die pad na die oord is bietjie sleg, maar die verblyf maak definitief op daarvoor. Daar was genoeg aktiwiteite om die kinders besig te hou en ons het die skattejag netso geniet soos hulle. Die 8-slaap eenhede is baie skoon, netjies en goed ingerig met ‘n kaggel vir die koue winteraande. Ek sal definitief weer terugkeer!

Die lodge is baie mooi en die huise is baie netjies. Ek sal die oord aanbeveel. Een negatiewe punt is die toegangsroete , op sekere dele van die pad, sal ‘n lae voertuig baie sukkel.

Always an awesome experience, the quiet, tranquil surroundings away from the city lights makes it worth the 2 and half hours drive every time.

The serene surrounding and river flow creates relaxation. The trail walks was an interesting and enjoyable one. I would definitely recommend and go back.

I think this is the place to retire and get old peacefully and Stonehill River Lodge will most certainly see us agian soon. I am booked for November. The staff makes you feel so welcome and really looks after your needs. The plus is that you can book out later on a Sunday which makes it so much convenient not to rush off.

Sal verseker weer Stonehill toe gaan. Netjiese, luukse verblyf met fantastiese geriewe en die ligging is onverbeterlik. Die 4 kinders (tussen 4 en 8 jaar) het hul gate uit geniet en dis baie veilig. Sondagoggend se roei op die rivier was die perfekte manier om die naweek af te sluit!

Heerlike bederf en pragtige omgewing. Uitstekende diens en vriendelike personeel. Baie netjiese en skoon eenhede. Baie om te doen in die omgewing en kinders het dit baie geniet om in die grond rond te krap, op die klimrame te speel en hasies te soek.
