65 guests' feedbackOne of the best places we've been for a quick break. Close enough so it's not a mission but far enough so you'll feel like you're on holiday. Definitely heading back soon.
Great stay. Friendly and helpful host. Beautiful views. Peaceful and tranquil.
Rustic stay and a piece of heaven, which was so needed. The weekend was too short, so we will be back for longer! Thank you for your hospitality.
It was absolutely an experience. The place is beautiful and the late night sitting around the campfire with the beauty of the Vaal River on your doorstep was heavenly. Will definitely stay there again. Thank you Ansie, you are great.
We had a wonderful stay.
We had a nice stay and slept well. Hostess very cute!
Totally enjoyed celebrating our anniversary at Zeekoe Lodge with friends. It truly met our needs. It's tranquil, the view is amazing and the host is awesome and super helpful.
Stunning view, but unfortunately most of the unit had leaks when it rained. Both beds were wet, bedding, towels, medication, and our electronics on charge were damaged due to this. The front sliding doors can't lock and are not sealed, so then hundreds of bugs enter even when closed.
Very peaceful and terribly beautiful.
Get what you pay for, owners very helpful.
It was nice and close to be able to go on a Friday afternoon. We also got a call to make sure we were still on the right track and safe. Was wonderfully welcomed and also helped out with a tomato or three that we forgot for the braai buns. The tent house is comfortable and was wonderfully warm, even in the cold of the night. The view and sounds of the Vaal River were also wonderful to experience.
Would definitely recommend Zeekoe Lodge. Had a nice stay and slept well. Owners very friendly!
Thank you, Ansie, it was the most wonderful stay. Thank you for making the weekend so great and for accommodating us during this difficult time. It was an absolute dream of a place.
On arrival surprise.
Peaceful, quiet, clean. The children really enjoyed it and so did we as parents. The team that works there is very friendly and helpful. Will visit there again.
Serene pet-friendly destination next to the Vaal River. Ideal for a weekend getaway. Friendly hosts!
Friendly service, beautiful place and nice and quiet.
Zeekoe Lodge is really a very beautiful place. We had a nice stay and visited with our friends. Braai area was a nice boma with comfortable chairs and a view of the Vaal River as the sun sets. No shortage of wood or ice, they supply at a reasonable cost. Quiet area and feel like at the sea when you sleep in the evening with water lapping over rocks. Could also sit on deck and admire nature. Children threw some fishing rods into the water, but enjoyed the small pool the most. They advertise as a pet friendly lodge, they also have their own dogs that come to visit and children also enjoy paying attention to them. Small play frame available. Very tidy inside with all the kitchen equipment as needed. 2 fireplaces in unit (river cabin) so think it is also nice to visit there in the colder months.
The surroundings are picturesque. Calm atmosphere. All basic amenities are available. Beautiful location right next to the river, with a fireplace that keeps the cottage cozy and warm. Cuddly bedding.
This is the type of place where you are going to be bored. So if you long for a "soul-searching" getaway, this is the place. If you fish, this is also the place. Dead quiet, with everything you might need. Maybe just take something for mosquitoes and midges. There are a lot of bugs and spiders, so know that you are going to the forest when you check in here! Beautiful bird life to watch!
We had a wonderful weekend at Zeekoe Lodge, our accommodation was very nice and clean and we thoroughly enjoyed the views of the Vaal River from our braai area and patio.
Very beautiful nature, peaceful.
We really enjoyed the weekend and will book accommodation again in the future. Thank you very much for your hospitality.
Rest for one's soul. They also have their own coffee - delicious. Can't wait for the coffee tastings to follow. Will definitely go back. You feel like you are visiting family.
We had a lovely stay at Zeekoe Lodge. We felt so welcome and were very well looked after. Heaters were put on all throughout the house before we arrived. The house has everything you need. The bedrooms were lovely and the view from the house is gorgeous. Will definitely go back.
Zeekoelodge is everything and more you need to just get out of the city for a weekend! That view on the river is breathtaking, I lost a piece of my heart in this place. Zeekoelodge's management is very friendly and goes out of their way with their hospitality! Thank you very much! We will definitely be back!
Zeekoelodge exceeded all expectations. Everything was neat, clean, new and modern. The plus point was that down by the water there is a communal area with all washing-up facilities, a table, chairs, plates etc. Here we sat and fished very nicely until late at night, around the braai meat fire. There were also some kayaks that one can take out on the water.
See stars.
Hospitality was excellent and a place with a view you can only appreciate if you were there. Listening to the river flowing. Absolutely peaceful.
Zeekoelodge is easily accessible from Pretoria and Johannesburg and provides the opportunity to get away from the city and spend a few days in nature at an affordable price. The facilities are beautiful and comfortable. The owners are extremely approachable, helpful and make you feel right at home. Attractions in the area are easily accessible.
Fantastic place, 5m from the river. The chalet was comfortable and well-kitted out. Great support and hospitality from owners. Excellent house brand coffee as well. Highly recommend this.
The hosts are amazing! Friendly, and catered for every possible need. Heaters were already on, warming the rooms, as weather was a little miserable. Great space for a weekend away. Beautiful view. Hidden gem - can't wait to go back.
It's really one of those places I have to go to again, was a little disappointed when the Jacuzzi was more cold than hot. But after I inquired it was fixed and we had a great time! Thank you Zeekoelodge staff and especially Vhee! You guys were great.
All amenities you could ask for were available. Friendly staff and very clean.
The Family Home is very well equipped. Everything we needed was there. Heidi and her husband are extremely pleasant and helpful. Within an hour's drive from Johannesburg, beautiful location. Children enjoyed fishing and swimming.
Friendly people, very peaceful.
If you want to move around peacefully, this is the ideal place.
Clean, awesome location, was absolutely brilliant. We will be back for sure.
Warmly greeted by host and hostess, clean neat comfortable accommodation in a awesome tranquil setting. I’ll definitely be back.
Zeekoelodge is such an amazing little hidden gem, that exceeded all our expectations. Most beautiful view of the scenery from each house/cottage which are also equipped with everything you need for your stay. The service was also fantastic and our hosts made extra effort to ensure that we were happy during our stay. I would definitely recommend Zeekoelodge and would love to return for another lovely weekend away! 5+ stars!
Awesome place, very friendly manager and best service.
A place for a quick weekend getaway with clean facilities, tranquility and nature, close to home.
Very nice peaceful atmosphere, with the river in front of you. Definitely what we needed to rest and relax. Will definitely book there again.
Ansie was very hospitable. The lodge is very relaxing and clean. My friends and I truly enjoyed our stay.
Zeekoelodge's River Cottage is neat and peaceful with a beautiful view. We were warmly welcomed and could ask at any time if we needed anything. We will definitely go again.
Lovely and cosy well-equipped clean tent with a deck offering stunning views of river and sunset and sound of the water 24/7. Friendly owners and welcoming dogs. Not far from Vanderbijlpark. Perfect place for a peaceful weekend or even longer.
Very nice place to stay equipped with everything you will need for a time away. The house we stayed in was very well furnished and tidy with an excellent view of the river. The braai and boma on the viewing deck were ready for us with wood upon our arrival. We really enjoyed staying there and will definitely come back again. Thank you very much Ansie!
Thanks Ansie for an amazing stay! The family house was spacious and suited our needs perfectly since we were joined by the rest of our family on Saturday. I enjoyed sitting on the swing chair with the river flowing in front of me. Your doggies also made me feel so welcome, especially Dinah. Thanks for the special touches ─ fresh flowers and a chocolates in each bedroom. Wow! What more can I say except, if you need a break from the rat race, this is the place. No TV, but there is Wi-Fi. Rather bring a book or two and sit next to the river, read and enjoy a drink. Awesome!
Zeekoelodge was a fun experience. The location is beautiful and my kids had an awesome time.
Had a wonderful weekend. Very peaceful environment. Everything you need is in the River Cottage. Will definitely go again.
Ons het laat opgedaag die verwarmer was vir ons aangesit en die elektriese kombers. Ongeloof vriendelik. Ek sal enige tyd familie en vriende aanbeveel en sal defnitief weer teruggaan, sommer gou ook.
I will definitely go again!
Beautiful setting with lovely and comfortable family home, with up to a 'Jacuzzi', right next to the river! Ansie's hospitality and extra effort are so appreciated. We will go back tomorrow and definitely recommend to everyone. Thank you Ansie and Ernst.
Thank you to Ansie. She waited for us and handed us keys. Everything was neat and very clean. We had a nice stay. It was peaceful with the most beautiful view of the river. My kids also enjoyed being able to make fire in the boma and braai with the sounds of water and frogs in the background. We will definitely come again.
Friendly hosts and a wonderful place to catch up with friends.
We absolutely loved our stay in the tent. We could unwind on the deck and just be. We are definitely going back. If we knew we will enjoy it that much, we would have booked for longer.
Very friendly hostess. Felt welcome from entering the front door and seeing the fresh flowers on the table. The unit has all that is needed for self-catering. The coffee machine a definite bonus. The stoep has a beautiful view on the river. We definitely recharged our batteries with a bonus being on the river in a canoe.
We absolutely enjoyed the Jacuzzi! On the surface when you walk into the River Cottage, the place looks nice, but the place was actually very dirty inside. Sorry to say, but there really wasn't a corner that was clean, even where they put the toilet paper in, there is dirt and spiders everywhere. But we just spent as much time outside as possible, it was awesome!
House works out great with its 3 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms! Kitchen fully equipped! We were received so kindly, we immediately felt at home! Will definitely go again.
We enjoyed our accommodation at Zeekoelodge a lot. Will definitely go back again.
The stay exceeded all our expectations. Everything was indeed just like in the photos. Ansie and Ernst were so hospitable and we really enjoyed the time together as a family. We will definitely go back again in the summer.
This is a gem of a getaway away from the hustle and bustle of the city and just a short drive from the N1. It is wonderfully peaceful in the well-equipped, tidy house right by the river. One cannot be closer to the river. Nature is right next to you with fish and birds frolicking in the water. The monkeys also came to visit and in the evening when you have a delicious barbecue at the boma there is a lovely frog choir that makes music for you. We also really enjoyed the visits in the Jacuzzi! Thank you Ansie and Ernst for your kindness and hospitality. Your place is beautiful! I can confidently recommend your place and we will definitely come back to you again if we get a chance!
The view and tranquility were incredible. Would definitely recommend Zeekoe Lodge to someone who wants to get away to a peaceful place. Best equipped self catering accommodation I have ever seen, definite value for money. Beautiful place.
Really a relaxing outing with nothing to worry about, safe location, nature at its best with all the things you need to still feel at home.
Had a great stay, will definitely go back again.
