The location with mountain views and yet very close to restaurants was really great. The best thing about this listing, for me, was the views when deiving in, from the room and also while resting in the common areas. This is a retreat for those who want to just enjoy nature and recoup. Again, we arrived late and were welcomed in and directed to our room with ease. The 2 ladies running it, and serving breakfast were very friendly and welcoming. Very professional too.
Nothing.

Great location, stunning views. Rooms are very spacious, comfortable beds and very relaxing outdoors with a large patio. Breakfast was delicious and well prepared. Excellent service by the employees on duty. Staff always friendly and helpful.
Yet again, we do feel the rooms needs a facelift, furniture and decor is old and dated, but beds are super nice and comfortable. They do need extra assistance in the kitchen, some guests got impatient, due to the long wait, very busy during breakfast time.

The breakfast was excellent and well presented. The property is beautiful, calm and peaceful with surrounding mountains. We would like to revisit Gaikou Lodge in future. Thank you for your hospitality.
The TV did not work due to a faulty plug and could not be fixed as we only discovered the problem after nine at night and reception was already closed. The beautiful spacious room and peacefulness made up for it.

THe breakfast was delicious. Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. We spent nice quiet time. Love the baboons and the walkways. Near to the town. We'll definately be back.
Gaiko Lodge should consider selfcatering facilities as the breakfast time was too early for my spouse.

Location is fantastic, beautiful views. Breakfast is good and taste delicious. Beds are very comfortable and rooms very spacious. One of the best places to stay. hostess and staff very friendly.
I do think the rooms are a but dusty and the cleaners missed dusting the bedside tables and large desk again. The bedding covers are clean but the are also old and stained, as well as the blanket was dusty, that is making it lot less luxurious. Mostly we love staying here, only need a few checks in place to ensure super clean rooms and replace the old linen with new ones.

So much that we loved about the property - the quiet area it is in, the gorgeous large lodge that we stayed in with massive bed, the porch area where we watched different birds, ducks and baboons or the lovely cooked breakfast in the morning. There’s so much and we were sad to only stay 1 night. There’s walks to do on the property, fishing and biking.
Not sure we can find fault all. We loved everything

This was our fourth stay at Gaikou Lodge as we had been so happy the last three times. The rooms are really unusually large and comfortable and spotless. The view towards the mountains, over the lawn is unbeatable. Staff were, as always, excellent
Some reviews refer to the modest breakfast but everything is fresh and well prepared and there is plenty to eat.

The location, spacious accommodation, views, privacy, rustic atmosphere
The swimming pool looked murky and needs to be sparkling clean. The morning coffee was terrible. Stewed coffee on a warmer, luke warm by the time you get it in your cup, just doesn't cut it these days. Proper coffee needs to be on offer.

We loved the breakfasts in the morning, and having some space for our 10 month old to crawl around. We also really enjoyed the swiming pool with an amazing view of the mountains.
The only issue we had was the spotty internet in our room, but were able to connect in the reception area.
