68 guests' feedbackIt was peaceful with lovely decor and bedding. The fireplace as well as the duck pond that we could see from our porch were highlights.
Very nice and relaxing.
We had a nice stay, thank you.
Unit centrally located and within walking distance of town. Unit always clean and tidy. Gardens well maintained.
Comfortable rooms, clean with all amenities. Beautiful setting and very close to all Dullstroom attractions.
The view is incredibly beautiful and the facilities were fantastic! We were kept informed every moment and received nothing but friendly service!
Although I had been to Critchley Hackle on a few previous occasions, it was always for either dinner or lunch and not to stay over. The accommodation and grounds are immaculate, and we enjoyed a few days of absolute serenity, even though our stay included New Year's Eve. An absolute joy and one I would definitely recommend, should you be looking for a quiet getaway, surrounded by luxury and serenity.
Unfortunately we could only spend one night at Critchley Hackle. The stay at Critchley Hackle was exceptional in one of the units overlooking the pond. The unit itself was very neat and comfortable and looks newly redone. There is a fireplace in the unit we used. Excellent setting with beautiful gardens, pond and good security.
Stay was wonderful, as always. A little disappointed in the cleaning services - dishes not all washed.
Enjoyable, had a good rest. Will go back again. Very friendly staff.
Had no water for bath/shower. Bath's faucet is broken.
Enjoyed our stay as well as our dinner at the restaurant, which had a beautiful view of the lake.
Beautiful! Had a good time. Just the parking - try to move the big rocks because large vehicles like bakkies can't make a turn when they reverse out.
We really enjoyed staying there. We only spent the night. We rode motorcycles. Reception gave our motorbikes a safe place to park. So a bit expensive but for everything you get, worth it. Beautiful restaurant overlooking the dam. We ate deliciously.
Beautiful grounds, delicious food, and lovely staff. The venue was very accommodating to our need to work.
The people are incredibly helpful and friendly.
The unit was very neat and exceeded all expectations.
We had a great stay, everything was beautiful and excellent service.
It was very nice to be able to sleep over - would love to stay at Critchley Hackle again anytime!
It always remains a lovely destination. We have never been disappointed!
Rooms are neat and clean. Hospitality at its best.
Wish they had a safe in the room.
Delightful lodge in center of Dullstroom. Beautiful setting with large pond and a very nice restaurant on premises.
Nice place for 2. Even fireplace in room. High quality als. Complimentary wine for 2. Much effort than in the photos.
The personal service from Karin was excellent.
Critchley Hackle is beautiful, luxury accommodation within easy walking distance of the town. Since it rained all week, the hearth was definitely the highlight of the unit. The resort's gardens are beautiful, and guests' comfort and privacy are respected. We had one meal at the restaurant and were impressed with the food. All facilities at Critchley Hackle are well maintained and tidy.
Very nice. The view and room were perfect.
Although we could only stay for one night, it was a very good experience and we will definitely go back. Compares excellently with much more expensive accommodation alternatives in the town and surrounding area. Rooms are spacious, nice fireplace, nice view, comfortable bed with good bedding. Large portions of food. The garden around the lake is well maintained. Very quiet and safe. Secure parking. Walking distance from the central town and activities. Wifi in the rooms would be an asset. During our departure, I forgot an item in the room. Karin went to great lengths to package the item and keep me informed when the courier picked it up. Very good personal service and went the extra mile. An asset for sure.
The staff is friendly and helpful and the food at the restaurant is beautifully made and tastes even better.
Reception was excellent and Karin and all the staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend WiFi.
The unit we stayed in was well suited for one or two nights. The unit is quite small for four guests, but very neat and clean. No WiFi in the unit unfortunately.
Classy establishment.
Absolutely beautiful accommodation and gardens, kept in immaculate condition. Peaceful, relaxing holiday!
Value for money questionable, should have at least included breakfast.
Great place to stay, just a bit expensive.
Warm atmosphere, clean and tidy.
The place is incredibly beautiful, clean and very quiet for a break from the city. Will definitely stay here again.
Absolutely love this place, would definitely recommend. If you are looking for the perfect getaway this is the place. Karin was amazing. The unit was so warm, cosy, clean and it's safe. Thank you Karin and your team. Will definitely come again.
The staff were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. The unit was neat, clean and painstakingly prepared for us.
It's a peaceful visit, where you can find rest for your soul. Good facilities, friendly and professional staff.
Will definitely go again. Only recommendation is that they should purchase a generator for times when there is loadshedding.
Critchley Hackle is a beautiful, clean and safe lodge. The ideal getaway from the city's noise.
Slept well, had a great time and would recommend to anyone needing a quick getaway. Electricity was a problem though. Beurtkrag lasted all weekend. With the price, one would think that there would be power for the chalets, but it was only allowed in the restaurant. In summary, it was still very enjoyable.
Well located and close to everything. Price per night not in line with what you get.
Unit was neat. Royal Blue's photos just need to be updated on the website. The outside where the garden set is, all that long grass stuff needs to be pulled out. The whole world is full of seeds of that stuff and we couldn't sit there. Other than that, no problem.
My only negative comment was the spa - not up to standard by any means. But the rest was phenomenal. I just booked an extra week! The town is a little treasure chest full of discoveries and then the peace of sitting around the pond with your tired body, a fire in the fireplace and an incredible meal in the Trout Lake Restaurant.
Clean, safe and quiet with a good host.
Karin is a manager of a thousand. The place is neat, the unit met more than all our expectations, you can see that everything is done here to the fullest. The restaurant owner, Von, and also his staff are extremely professional and the food is 5-star. Well done you guys, you deserve all the accolades.
The service was fantastic, rooms were clean, walking distance from the town centre and staff went out of their way to make you comfortable.
Room was comfortable and spacious and the restaurant prepared good food at reasonable prices.
Royal B was neat and clean, although in need of some maintenance. Critchley Hackle is very beautiful. The breakfast and variety was delicious! The service is also good. The spa was very nice.
Place is more beautiful than in photos. Karin and her team went out of their way to make us feel welcome and even accommodated our dog. Would def recommend the place. 100% satisfied.
Lovely place. Very peaceful and enjoyed it immensely. The garden and living space were stunning. Would recommend it
Had a pleasant stay. Beautiful setting by the lake.
Very nice and tidy holiday resort with a nice fishing pond and a very nice restaurant with a good breakfast variety.
They did repairs on the curtains in the coffee room on Sunday morning which should have been done over a weekend when it might be quieter.
Lovely location with peaceful views over the dam.
Will visit Critchley Hackle again.
Unfortunately, the drawer and cupboard door of the small kitchen were broken in the unit. It was quite awkward. The price of the accommodation is not cheap, so I feel that everything must be perfectly maintained.
Service was very friendly, but think they are over priced. A bit outdated. It was disappointing that they don't clean the rooms unless you ask for it. We stayed in Tower 1, when we inquired about WiFi they informed us that the WiFi could not be picked up to our rooms.
The place is very peaceful and the view is very beautiful. Also centrally located.
Very nice surroundings and a winning recipe for good rest.
Very nice place, especially units against the dam. Dam makes it very peaceful with ducks swimming and fish jumping out of the water every now and then. Very friendly welcome with good service.
Very nice location and great restaurant for dinner. Nice to be within walking distance of town, but still feels like an out-of-town farm.
It was very nice and cozy, but maintenance is definitely needed in certain places, e.g. inside the restaurant, on the site, existing construction/extensions must be made safe especially if there are children (extensions around the pool) and inside the cottage/chalet.
Stayed over after a game reserve holiday on the way to Cape Town. The welcome was super friendly, helpful and the rooms were beautiful. Beautiful, peaceful atmosphere and I could enjoy fly-fishing again. Would definitely recommend it and would stay here again.
The place is beautiful and peaceful with large rooms. The service was very good. The receptionist went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable in the cold. Breakfast on the veranda was delicious with a beautiful view over the ponds with the baby ducks.
