This property is lovely but it was too far out of George. When I booked it I thought it was in George. But it is a lively place!

A breath of serenity.
The lodge is a long way out of town and not suitable as a destination if you are wanting to do business in George. It is however an amazing location for a peaceful, country break that has beautiful moments of serenity and beauty. The bathroom was under construction and so breakfast was a little noisy.
