After our fourth stayover at the lodge everything just started going downhill. We requested a bit earlier check in than the rediculous 16h00 they enforce, which seemed to be a problem. After our arrival at 15h30 our room was stil not cleaned, only after a few phone calls to reception it was eventualy cleaned at 19h30 while were trying to... More

We stayed two nights in order to see Blyde River, Pilgrims Rest, Bourkes Luck on our way to Kruger. We had booked one of the cabins for 2 people. They are timeshares but it was well kept and maintained. Highlight was the terrace and braai area which had amazing views of the valley. Comfortable bed and shower was also good.... More

Excellent place to de- stress, natural surroundings, great accomodation though there were bugs in the rooms, very spacious, comfortable rooms with an excellent mountain view, service by cleaning staff was on time and well done, all that was needed was to wake up and get going, enjoying the journey and making the most of the time. It's a resort I... More

Crystal Spring Lodge is the perfect getaway. It's remote location on top of a mountain gives the best view. We went with our teen son and the rooms (2 bedroom) were great. It was clean and everything you need for a self catering facility. We did wake up to a baboon trying to open car doors and a heard of... More

This is an amazing lodge situated at the top of Robbers Pass. Set in a pine forest with great views all around. Great base from which to visit some of the wonders of the area such as Pilgrams Rest. The lodge offers great units and good facilities for adults and children

Crystal Springs Mountain Lodge was a perfect choice for the first 2 nite stay on our trip to South Africa. Tucked away in the scenic mountains near Pilgrims Rest, this property provides beautiful views, very nice rooms, excellent staff, restaurant, shop and play activities for the younger travelers. It is also situated very well for day trips to the various... More

We stayed there for a week. Our two chidren (4 and 6 years old) were always entertained. As well as providing activities for children, the natural surroundings gave them lots to do. Beautiful setting, nature walks, wildlife... And less than two hours' drive from the Kruger National Park. Try the smoked and fresh trout on sale at the little shop... More

We had chalet/lodge 151 with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms for a week and had no complaints whatsoever. The place is fully equipped with luxurious linen and everything else, including heater panels in the bedrooms and right down to a bundle of free firewood per day of your stay. There is a fireplace inside and a barbeque outside. The views... More
