    Loved the outdoor swimming pool, BBQ facilities and the rowing/canoeing at the lodge. The children's playground was great too.

    The delightful surprise of ants and cockroaches in the rondavel really added to the excitement of our stay.

    I had an unforgettable experience at Frog Mountain Getaway! The scenery was breathtaking, with stunning mountains and a beautiful river. I couldn't resist taking a dip, even though it was winter. My kids had a blast playing in the river too! The highlight of our stay was definitely cuddling and feeding the baby porcupine. It was a truly unique experience that we will never forget. The cottage we stayed in was basic but clean and comfortable, equipped with everything we needed. We enjoyed cooking on the braai facilities and eating outside on the spacious stoep with a view of the green hills and birdlife. The nights were quiet and peaceful, perfect for stargazing. The surrounding area offered plenty of activities, such as hiking to the waterfall and swimming and kayaking in the river. We also loved exploring nearby attractions like the Tradouw Pass and Warmwaterberg Spa. The warm hospitality and helpfulness of Gabrielle and her family made our stay even more enjoyable. They have created a slice of heaven at Frog Mountain Getaway. I highly recommend this unique and amazing experience!

    We had an amazing time at this beautiful mountain retreat. The cottages were tastefully renovated and had jacuzzis and indoor fireplaces to keep us cozy. The kitchen was stocked with top-notch LeCreuset items and brand-new pots and pans. The owner was incredibly helpful and friendly, and we had a good laugh watching their Collie herd the horses and donkeys. It was a perfect family getaway, and our kids had a blast with the host's guide, James. Highly recommended for families with kids.

    Breakfast delights could be improved with a few more options.

    Situated at the end of a picturesque valley, Frog Mountain Getaway offers a peaceful and tranquil experience. Guests can enjoy the soothing sounds of birdsong and the breathtaking views from the top of the ridge. The cottages are well-equipped for self-catering and provide all the necessary amenities. Visitors can relax on the porch and watch the sunset, while kids can have fun in the play area. The beds are comfortable with good quality linen, ensuring a restful sleep.

    Some amenities, such as a torch and mosquito repellent, were not provided, which can be inconvenient for guests.

    the location was beautiful and serene, giving us the perfect setting to enjoy nature and all the adventures that came with it. the house, Sams Place, was spacious and had all the comforts of home, including a dishwasher and washing machine. the extensive property was fenced, allowing our dogs to roam freely. the surrounding activities, such as canoeing, the foefie slide, swimming in the river and pool, made it a paradise for our kids. the resident animals, like the donkeys and horses, added to the charm of the place. We will definitely be back!

    Nothing, it was perfect! 😊.

    The location was perfect for outdoor activities, with hiking and cycling trails right at our doorstep. We spent the days exploring the beautiful surroundings, taking in the stunning views and enjoying the fresh air. The kids were thrilled to go fishing in the nearby river, and we even had a chance to visit the Swellendam Golf Course, which was just a short drive away. It was an action-packed holiday that allowed us to bond as a family and create unforgettable memories.

    For dads, it would be great if there were more organized activities specifically designed for families with children.

    Our family had a fantastic time at Frog Mountain. We stayed for a week and the kids had an absolute blast. They loved the canoes, foefie slide, waterfall, and swimming pool. It was the perfect setting for them to enjoy nature and all its adventures. The cottages were beautifully renovated, with jacuzzis and indoor fireplaces. The kitchen was well stocked with LeCreuset items and brand-new pots and pans. The owner was incredibly helpful and friendly, and their Collie hoarding the horses and donkeys provided lots of laughs.

    Strongly recommend this hotel.

    We recently had a wonderful family holiday at a secluded nature getaway. The bungalow was perfect for our family of four, with a cozy lounge area and well-equipped kitchen. We loved the view of the green fields and grass from our porch and enjoyed braaing with our neighbors in the communal boma. The children had a blast swimming in the pool, canoeing in the river, and exploring the farm. It was a truly relaxing and memorable experience. I highly recommend this place for a fun and peaceful family getaway.

    The natural beauty of the surroundings was breathtaking, with walks, canoeing, and even the chance to go fishing. The facilities were excellent and I felt safe and well taken care of. The children had a blast playing ping pong and interacting with the friendly dogs. I even spotted a genet and some baboons during my stay.
