29 guests' feedbackBeautiful location with access to the river in die reserve. Safe parking next to the accommodation. Very clean. The room (Sunset) also had an induction plate for cooking and there is a braai in the common area. Great location for birding with lots of forest specials in the trees around the rooms.
Comfortable stay with abundant birdlife!
Brilliant accommodation. The host was friendly and accommodating. We booked all the units to travel as a family - and all the units were fantastic. There is a gas braai in High Noon. All units have access to a separate braai area outside too. It is incredibly beautiful at Nkutu. The units are beautifully furnished, neat and with everything you need including great WiFi and aircon. Communication is fantastic too. If you need accommodation in this area, you really don't need to look any further. Nkutu River Lodge is spectacular.
It was great, clean and comfortable. I loved the aircon in that hot weather. The only downside was that there was no backup battery to help with the load shedding. But other than that, it was great.
How we loved this place! One of my favourites now. Beautiful, super clean, and best location ever. In this place you get to enjoy the best of both worlds, city and the bush. Shops are nearby, the sea is a few kilometres away. This is a hidden gem in Kloof, hosts were lovely and very friendly.
I was just cordial in responding. If feeling this space is compulsory, I am tempted to respond to any future surveys. For me, the answer "Yes" is adequate. If there is nothing to add, please let it be.
Peaceful and enjoyable. Sufficient privacy, spacious and a calming atmosphere. The hostess was pleasant, friendly and welcoming, always ready to help, yet not encroaching on our space, which was great and appreciated. The views were incredible and literally a breath of fresh air, a great breakaway from the normal lifestyle. Everything was perfect for us and indeed exceeded expectations. Definitely worth a return! Thanks very much for the lovely experience!
Accommodation is great and value for money. Will visit again for sure.
Yes, we had a very nice stay. Good location and very safe.
Nice stay. Terribly beautiful view! Neat and friendly people!
Absolutely perfect stay. Very peaceful place deep in Kloof.
The unit has everything one needs. Well equipped kitchen. The bathroom is spacious. Nice porch with table and chairs. Nice decor. Very friendly and helpful owners. Direct access to the nature reserve. A bird's paradise!
It was really pleasant to stay at Nkutu River Lodge. Everything you need is there and even a bath and a shower in the bathroom. We were very impressed with the setup and at a very reasonable rate.
Nkutu River Lodge is the perfect getaway if you are looking for peace and tranquillity. The view from the patio is beautiful and serene. We enjoyed everything about the space, especially the gas braai on the patio. The big doors were a great feature for a wave of fresh air. We couldn't help but notice how clean everything was and it made for an even better stay.
We had a wonderful time which was a part leisure, part business trip. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was available and the hosts were incredibly helpful and accommodating. The beauty and tranquility of the kloof were amazing!
Upon returning from breakfast I had to turn back to the vehicle to fetch my mobile phone. My partner continued entering the premises via the guest entrance when I heard screams dogs barking and owner shouting. By the time I got to where she was she was pinned against a bush and the owner was struggling to get the dog away. She had been bitten on her knee and her dress was torn. I must add that the owner was very apologetic about the incident and arranged for medical treatment and medication at his own cost but the damage was already done. My partner was very traumatised and chose not to spend the night there. Needless to say it put a damper on what could have been a perfect stay. It's unfortunate this happened but something has to be done to prevent further occurrences. After discussion we chose not to take any civil action although we were advised differently by legal counsel. What I would have expected was the owners wife to at least be a bit more sympathetic or empathetic towards my partner but this was not forthcoming.
What a great time at the house. The place is above the river and great view. Everything you need is in the place and to enjoy.
Loved the decor in the room and the view of the valley was spectacular! Will definitely be visiting again!
Thank you very much, the place is beautiful, new, modern and the area is peaceful. I wouldn't have minded walking in the nature reserve but we were only there for one night. Everything was very neat and clean.
Although the drive to the location was a bit lengthy it was worth it.
The place is very beautiful and neat. Exactly as advertised. It had everything we needed, and Wendy, the host, was just a call away and very friendly. I highly recommend it.
The unit is absolutely beautiful, spacious, spotless and fully equipped. There's a mall right around the corner and we didn't have to drive far for all the attractions we visited. Hubby and I absolutely loved it!
Too far to drive, reception was unfriendly. Pillows on bed too hard to sleep on. Cobwebs in bathroom, shower and windows not clean. Appreciated the air conditioning.
Hot buttered toast is an exceptional place - over looking a nature reserve. At night we could hear the gurgle of the stream below. The apartment is stunning, very neat and well designed.
We had a lovely stay at Hot Buttered Toast and will be back, was great that it is a self-catering unit. And it is neat and tidy. Wonderful experience! Will be back.
Neat, clean and modern.
Warm and friendly welcome, beautiful view and the accommodation very modern and neat and beautiful decorated. Will definitely visit again.
We had a great time. Very quiet and relaxing. Amazing view and friendly service. Will definitely go back.
The service is great!
