Kiara Lodge is one of those Resorts that you cannot just visit once. It’s creeps into your heart and becomes a regular “home away from home” holiday destination. From the amazing staff to the units and resort facilities, everything is absolutely incredible. The surroundings are truly breath-taking. This resort has something for everyone and to those planning a trip to Kiara Lodge, get ready for the most amazing holiday – you’ve made the right choice!

This was our first time at Kiara Lodge, and we will definitely be coming back! We were specifically looking to spend some quality time with our boys aged 4 and 18 months, and Kiara Lodge did not disappoint. There is so much to do for the children! I will admit we spent most of the time around the pool complex, but that was exactly what we wanted. The kids could play in a safe environment and we could relax. The water slides dont end in a pool but rather in the slide trough, which makes it super safe. There is an app challenge for the kids. There is a game and play room for when it rains. There is a play park. The restaurant has wonderful, tastey meals. Our chalet was modern and clean with everything working perfectly. Honestly, it is one of the best break away holidays we have had as a family!

We had a fantastic stay at Kiara Lodge 7-14 July 2023. The facilities are well maintained, the staff is friendly and helpful. The fireplace in the unit was well appreciated during the cold evenings. We especially enjoyed the hiking trails and beautiful scenery. On Thu 13-Jul, we made a booking at The Melt restaurant for dinner for our party of 6 people. The booking was written in the book for the previous day by mistake, so when we arrived, there was no table available for us since the restaurant was very busy. The team at the restaurant asked us to give them a few minutes to find a solution. Within a few minutes they prepared a table in the wine cellar, this was excellent customer service. I have one suggestion to make the stay even better. The shower in the main bedroom of unit 69A is designed without a door. The glass wall covers less than half of the width of the shower and this wets the floor of the bathroom quite a bit. The tile floor becomes very slippery when wet and requires a cleanup with towels after every shower. It will be good to re-look at the design of the shower, perhaps consider a sliding door. Thank you to the team at Kiara lodge for a lovely stay, see you soon.

lovely accommodation- meets all the basic needs and is comfortable- good self-catering option for kids- lovely onsite restaurant available as well. huge resort with lots of activities. very peaceful, can get busy during peak season. very accomodating staff.

What an amazing place, we stayed here for 3 days . Staff are amazing accommodation is amazing. My wife cut her finger and we went to a Doctor in Clarens for stitches etc but the management team were so good. They helped contact the Doctor. The food is also so good

We loved staying here. We were pleasantly surprised when we had 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Very comfortable and clean. The staff could not be more helpful and friendly. Loved the pool area, but pick your time. Was much quieter during the week. The restaurant staff were amazing and supplied delicious food to us for a braai at our unit and they even delivered it. We also had excellent service from Karen. Thanks for making our stay so pleasant.

We visit Kiara every year and love it more each time we are there. Warm water swimming pool and on site restaurant are a huge bonus. The units are beautifully presented and of the finest quality. Clarens is just a stone's throw away as are many other interesting places and activities.

What a lovely clean place in a magical location! So much for kids to do and with nice hiking spots. Will definitely visit again. Nice units with everything needed for self catering. We were there for just few days because of availability. But definitely next time we will book for longer. The smell of everyone's braai just added to the ambience. There is a restaurant on site, comes in handy when one doesn't feel like cooking.
