Wow, wow is all I can say! I had organized a special weekend for my partners birthday and I had a huge favour to ask of the resort. I spoke to Enrika and asked her to please assist me in decorating the unit with flowers, balloons and a birthday banner. She and her staff went out of their way to... More

We stayed in 15D a three bedroom thatched roofed chalet. The high ceilings and spacious layout together with tiled floors throughout, granite tops and well maintained furniture and fittings ensured a luxurious stay. The bedrooms were all en suite with the third in a loft area meant space utilisation was optimised. The ergonomics of the unit worked well with the... More

The reason people come on holiday is too get away and get some rest not too hear banging and grinding three days in a row at eight in the morning thanks for making me feel right at home. More

My wife and I have just checked in .It's starting to drizzle.We park the car at our car at the general parking for the amenities parking (restaurant, body bliss etc) and dart some 30-40m to our unit. As we approach it it looks like a tiny round hut. It has no veranda and yet the other nearby units (49B &... More

It had all the facilities you could wish for: exceptionally clean spacious rooms, comfy beds, great self catering facilities, lovely views, scenic walks (and longer hikes nearby in the national park), refreshing swimming pool, cosy restuarant and pub on...

Our stay at Kiara Lodge was excellent and very relaxing! We stayed in a two bedroom (6 Sleeper) unit for the week of 28 October 2011 to 4 November 2011! After a long and tiring drive on arrival we were most welcomed with the aroma of freshly made filter coffee and a choice of fresh juice. The friendly Reception staff... More

We booked this Lodge through RCI timeshare. They note it as a Gold Crown Resort....which it is not. We stayed in unit 6C which is located very close to the reception area and is surrounded by other chalets which are very close to each other. If you are looking for a get-a-way where you want peace and quiet...then this is... More
