We stayed at the Zebra Walk self-catering chalet for three nights. The chalet is comfortable and sits secluded away from the others. The area is beautiful and we loved the feeling of true nature away from the city. We had zebras and antelope visit us in the evening. During the day we would go on walks and explore the beautiful...

Jan and Indiana are wonderful hosts to the lucky few who discover Zwartberg Lodge. Eating dinner with zebra and deer surrounding you under a majestic African sky is not something to forget soon. Jan is very hospitable and serves his food (including veggie, if wished for) with some serious style (and it tastes great!). Accommodation is clean and you can... More

A precious get a way to rediscover and meet the natural elements. Jann is able to create a magic atmosphere around the dinner table cooking a fantastic meal. The setting with the wild zebras and springboks coming to join the meal around the fire place under the stars is unique. Jann and Indiana are the perfect hosts, the cottages are... More

We had a great stay at Jan's Zwartzberg View Lodge: wonderful views, great food, lovely houses beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Jan is great fun and very entertaining. We really felt we were having a rural experience: springbok and zebra eaing within touching distance, dirt roads, Karoo plants. Jan's story about how he established the lodge is very interesting and... More

Jann is a great host. Zwartberg is unpretentious and a wonderful getaway to get in touch with nature and for peace and solitude. Jann is all things at zwartberg - the host, the info centre, the chef, the maintenance man etc. The chalet is comfortable and uniquely decorated in individual themes. Chef Jann spoilt us with fantastic meals - 3... More

It was easy to find and although the roads are rough they are easily passable in a 2WD car. Jann is a great host and... More

We looked for a place to stay near Oudtshoorn and the surrounding tourist attractions on Route 62. What a spectacular find is Zwartberg View Mountain Lodge! As the name indicates – a short drive down a road leads to this sanctuary nestled between mountains and Karoo ‘bossies.’ The owner, Jann, welcomed us and made sure we settled down comfortably and...

My teenage daughter and I stayed only one night -- how we wished we had planned to stay longer (much longer). Everything about Zwartberg was wonderful! We stayed in Zebra Walk, which was perfectly lovely and well appointed! Dinner was so delightful - fabulous food, wonderful to meet and chat with the other guests, and such a special treat (at...

Thank you Jann, for a magical stay. What could beat sitting round the camp fire with a drink in your hand, sky full of stars, zebra and springbok munching along side followed by a great meal. This is what memories are made of!
