58 guests' feedbackThe whole atmosphere of Gecko Lodge and the people made us forget for a moment that we were actually there for work purposes. The most relaxing lodge I have ever stayed in for a quick overnight stay.
Cute little place, but no air conditioning in rooms. In the low-veld heat it is unbearable and we therefore went looking for alternative accommodation. I just feel they should mention it as a customer book, because then I definitely wouldn't have booked there, and on top of that I wouldn't have lost/forfeited R1770. Because had to pay R2800 for alternative accommodation.
We were spoiled with delicious breakfast and top chef dinner by the fireplace, friendly personal service and hospitality, beautiful surroundings, excellent room service, the unforgettable experience of the night sounds that the beautiful forest brings and the peace of mind that we were always protected. Truly our "go-to place" in the Lowveld! For sure delicious!
It's as if calm descends upon you. It's peaceful and very beautiful and a place where you can just relax. The service was excellent.
Location is good and gardens well maintained.
We were greeted by a security guard and had to wait about 15 min for someone from reception to come help us. We booked a double room but got a room with two single beds, they then moved us to a room that was completely run down. The wall where the TV should have been there were only cables and there were cigarette butts all over the front of the room, we really didn't feel at home. They also promised us breakfast packs which we never received. Disappointed in our experience as the place has incredible potential and could be really beautiful.
The lodge could use some remodeling, fumigation and air conditioning as there are just fans there and it's very hot in summer. The breakfast was good and the dining hall staff was very friendly and helpful all the time. Location is perfect but the road leading to the lodge is not recommended for small cars especially after it has rained.
Gecko Lodge was beyond expectation. Very quiet area, nice and central to all the tourist attractions in the area.
Stayed one night and totally worth it. Thanks Tammy! We are happy to recommend Gecko Lodge!
Owners are friendly and very helpful!
This was hospitality with a capital H even in this challenging times. They went all the way for us. Food was good and the lodge is very quiet and peaceful and close to Hazyview centre and Kruger gates. We will stay here again. Thank you guys.
Friendly and caring service from all the staff. Clean and tidy
Tammy and Gideon along with the rest of the staff were amazing, really friendly and helpful. The place is neat and clean, its a break from all the hustle and bustle yet still close to the mall, Kruger gate and a lot of places to see. It's central to everything. I would have loved it if the rooms had small bar fridges, to keep the water and drinks cold. The entrance to the resort is a bit steep so it's difficult to drive with small vehicles, but apart from that the place was wonderful.
Friendly, very helpful, neat and clean. We will definitely stay there again, can recommend it.
Nice breakfast, friendly staff.
I would recommend Gecko Lodge anytime. Staff are professional, friendly and go out of their way to make the stay enjoyable.
With my next stay in Hazyview I will stay again in Gecko Lodge! The staff was friendly and all of them give us a very warm welcome. The location is beautiful.
Gecko Lodge is very neat, all very friendly. We had a nice stay. Will stay there again.
A really nice place to stay and the staff were friendly and helpful. Gardens are great with the pool and bar. Food was good. Could have an area with desks and better lighting for business work. I enjoyed my stay very much and will definitely return to this lodge.
The staff were very friendly from arrival to departure. Could we also provide a list of activities at our request. The restaurant setting was intimate and good meals.
Neat, clean unit in beautiful setting with lovely rock pool and friendly reception.
Was the ideal overnight stop for our group on the way to the game park. Dinner was fantastic and breakfast adequate.
Very cute place, could get more attention.
Everything is very neat. The food was fantastic and the reception very warm. Will definitely make use of them again.
A hike to the river with the lodge's permission is very beautiful. The only downside to the lodge is the very poor dirt road to the gate. At 5 km/h we were bouncing around badly in the car. The main gate and reception are also not well marked. The restaurant's food was outstanding, just talk to reception about what time it is.
I loved the nature, the surroundings and also the safety. The place is so beautiful and user friendly. I loved the fact that it has disability facilities. I would recommend people to go there.
The place is quiet and the guards are helpful, they walk with you to your room even if it's 11:00 pm in the evening. Reception was good. I recommend the place to someone who wants a peaceful weekend.
The place is cute. The people friendly. Sorry that it was very hot and that there is no air conditioning, but I know it's a bit spoiled. Service was brisk.
Very good service.
Warm reception. From the outside it looks rundown, but inside the linen was fresh and clean. Bath could maybe be replaced. Food was delicious and the dining hall has a pleasant atmosphere.
Met all our expectations. Highly recommended.
Quiet safe environment. Good breakfast and friendly staff. Room spacious, comfortable and tidy. Air conditioner would be an asset (visit during heat wave). Recommended.
We used Gecko Lodge as a base to visit the attractions along the Panorama route as well as the game park. It was wonderfully centrally located for this purpose. Our family room was very tidy and we slept well. Breakfast was also nice. The staff were very friendly and happy to help with requests.
Not user friendly. Too quiet to visit. Non availability of TV. Management not friendly and impatient.
We only had a lot of rain, but other than that we were very happy. Would recommend to other people as it is close to the wildlife park and all the attractions.
Incorrigible! Thank you. It is highly recommendable.
Anja and Gideon are two wonderful people and their hospitality made it just a pleasure to visit there. We felt very much at home right from day one. The staff were also very helpful. Many thanks to everyone.
The owners and employees are very pleasant and helpful. The location is great and the area is beautiful. The only criticism I can make is the bathrooms of the accommodation: the bath (and shower above it) is very uncomfortable (the shower is very low) and slightly neglected. Our sink faucet wouldn't close all the way and the tub had bad rust stains.
The rooms offer the basics and are clean and tidy. Drinking water is provided and real coffee is provided. Staff are very friendly and hospitable and make you feel right at home. Dinner is provided additionally and includes an African dance and song performance by a campfire. We had a great time and the on was an excellent start to our Wildtuin holiday. The breakfast that was included in the rate was also very nice and the staff was already ready early on to receive the guests or even make a breakfast package if you wanted to leave earlier than the start of breakfast. It was also quiet so you can get enough rest if you have another long journey ahead. We could easily spend more time at this peaceful place!
Rooms are clean and tidy.
We were very impressed with the neat and clean accommodation we were offered there. Our hosts Gideon, Anja and David were friendly and went out of their way to make us feel at home and comfortable. The meals were nicely presented and tasty prepared. We would definitely visit Gecko Lodge again and would recommend it to other prospective visitors without reservation.
The service was great. The area is picturesque. The lodge is centrally located between the Wildlife Park and other attractions. The food is delicious! Thank you very much!
Gecko Lodge is a fantastic romantic getaway and serious value for money when it comes to the accommodation, romance, and service. The quality of their food is out standing. Gecko lodge can expect to see us a lot more in the future.
A fantastic place to spend some TLC at.
The friendly people who are very helpful will make sure you enjoy your stay. The food is excellent and you can always have a good time with the friendly people at the backpackers. I give them a very good 9 out of 10 for service and friendliness.
Especially the pleasant people impressed. The "porridge and meat" was excellent. The room is pleasantly spacious.
I really enjoyed staying in the Gecko Lodge. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food was delicious!
Every morning the breakfast was exactly the same. The rooms are clean and tidy. The host and hostess were very friendly. Economical accommodation.
A clean, tidy room.
Value for money and a good location in Hazyview.
We had a very enjoyable stay at the Gecko Lodge. Gideon and Anya were always on hand to do anything to make our stay more enjoyable. Thank you!
I would recommend this Lodge to anyone who wants to go on holiday because it was absolutely lovely.
We were received very kindly in Afrikaans and we had a very nice stay at Gecko Lodge, Hazyview. Gideon prepared a delicious meal for dinner. We will visit there again when we want to stay in the area.
Consumables in room were not replenished as frequently as I'd have liked, but overall great value for money. Owners personally take care of comfort.
Had to wait a long time for the room. Nothing to do there really. Can't sleep there for more than one night. Air conditioning can be considered, Very hot. Nice people, good food
You can watch the TV in the room and air conditioning.
Anja and Gideon hosted us very well. Room was spacious and ideal for our young 2 children. Perhaps they should consider some air-condition in the room as the heat can get unbearable. Otherwise it's a place to visit again!
