It was great to be able to stay over and hike the next day. There is a shop on the premises but it closed before we arrived. The apartment was clean and easy to use. No coffee pot (or French press), but instant is available. The hiking was great!

Liked: Cleanliness
The natural beauty is wonderful. The accomodations are dated with tiny kitchens, poor kitchen equipment and stained curtains. Beds are fine. I would describe the units generally as clean, and mostly comfortable. Definitely not in the "luxury" category as claimed. Luxury providers do not search their guests' cars when they leave the property. The reason given for the search was to prevent theft of plants and animals. The more likely reason is to prevent theft of microwaves.

We had a wonderful stay. The resort is close to many places of attraction which made access very easy. The only issue we had was with the showers/bath which had no curtain and made showers very messy.

A great experience!
An absolutely incredible experience. Friendly and professional staff + the property is well maintained. I want to come back and bring my family for a stay of at least a week. Only 4 recommendations for improvement: 1. The breakfast was great, but the supper/dinner was not so good - the fish was rubbery and tasteless. 2. The window of our chalet's bedroom had a big patch that was not cleaned on the outside. 3. An investment that could be considered would be to create a little wooden balcony that you can access from the bedroom, where you can sit and look out over the canyon. 4. We could not see much of the canyone from our bedroom or from the chalet, because the trees and bushes were not trimmed down.

Blyde Canyon Forever Resorts Rocks big time
My stay was amazing. The resort is near everything. We didn't have to go for hours to reach any attractions. The resort is clean but it will be wise to fill up the tea stations in the chalets as most of my friends were tea lovers. The food at the dining hall was great but most of my friends were complaining that othe staff members were unfriendly especially when they had to tidy up the tables.Some staff members didn't have smiles and when u order eggs, u'll have to wait for the people who came after you to be served first especially white people where given first preference by those ladies and they would great them with smiles and make sure that they get what they wanted without any hassle. Please management just try to correct that. All in all I can say, Blyde Canon a Forever Resorts rocks 💃💃and I could recommend it to anyone who would like to visit it.

Set up is beautiful specious rooms. We enjoyed the meals at Kidis Restaurant👌👌Wendy and the other waitress i cant recall her name, she's bit tall and slow in speaking they were very kind and helpful. Keep up the Good work!!!👏Siyabonga🙏 Disliked: The cleaners should try hard to clean inside the toilet remove yellow stains and bad odour. Try again to hoove the carpet. Lastly the old ladies forgot 2 lock our shalet after cleaning on Thursday.Overall we really enjoyed our stay we will definitely come back. May the Almighty Richly bless you🙏

Highly recommended
Excellent value for money if you are planning on staying in the area. The views of the 3 rondavels and the canyon are excellent from the upper viewpoint and there are some great hiking trails. The food at the kadisi restaurant was enjoyable and reasonably priced. The facilities provided are good i.e. the shop, pool and play areas for kids.
