I had forgotten how good the views are from Chestnut Lodge. It has an attractive setting being away from busy town of Hazyview. And yet within easy driving distance to its restaurants, shops and activities. It will suit someone who wants a quiet country atmosphere. (It could be too quiet in the low season?)
Rooms have been upgraded and I am now happy with both the standard and luxury rooms. It is still modest accommodation but the setting is excellent and the hosts are friendly. The swimming pool has now been moved to away from the main deck so it is nicer and more secluded. Their standard rooms don’t have air-conditioning but the luxury rooms do, so we would opt for the luxury rooms in summer. Otherwise I didnt really have a preference between the rooms. The luxury rooms can accommodate a third person (such as a child or a teenager) which is useful.
Dinner are on offer every evening so you don’t need to drive at night. Their access road doesn’t get graded very often, but it actually wasn’t that bad (and this was after rain.)
