"I come here almost every weekend. We have had birthday parties here, braai days, rugby days, and sometimes just a meal with the family. Always great service from the staff. Friendly and willing to go the extra mile. A very enjoyable venue every single time."

"We enjoyed a relaxing day out swimming, having a few cold ones and enjoying the day with our family. The pool water was awesome, the slides were great, but man, the food was out of this world."

"Great service. Good food. Beautiful Lodge. Went to watch the rugby there, will definitely return."

"The new Vibes pub is awesome. The food was on point and so tasty! Will definitely be seeing me again."

"Exceptional service! Excellent food! Perfect venue for the family!"

"One of the most inviting and comfortable places you can go to with your family. Out of town avoiding the usual troublemakers and still being close enough to enjoy to the fullest. A must visit."
