"Gannaga Lodge, where you can sleep but not barbeque (although there is an indoor and outdoor barbeque facility)."

The rooms are well equipped with an air conditioner, hot shower, kettle, coffee, tea, sugar, hairdryer and towels. The rooms are not bad, but self catering is not allowed and no fire may be lit in the indoor braai or outside on the dedicated braai drums for a quick braai after a long journey. You must order from the menu and purchase drinks from the bar. My traveling companions ordered food from the restaurant, and it was not exceptional, the lamb chops were tougher than a North West rugby player on a cold winter morning. The owner is grumpy and curt with a vocabulary that would make pirates blush, plus he was not at all lenient for us to even use a gas grill. Something along the lines of "he burned down the lodge once and is not going to allow it again, followed by something about 7 farms and burning down in the Tankwa". I zoned out, I just wanted to light a fire and grill in the indoor grill right across from the burning fireplace behind him. But Sihle was the star of the show, he welcomed us with charm and enthusiasm, even giving us insect repellent and an extension cord to charge the 12V batteries overnight in the cold Hantam. I would definitely stay at Gannaga Lodge again, but would bear in mind that no self-catering is allowed, barbeque at the lookout point in Gannaga Pass about 3 km before you reach Gannaga Lodge. As far as Sihle is concerned, he deserves a big thank you, a raise for his kind service. Would love to visit him again, because Sihle makes Gannaga Lodge fun!
