The Flyers' Lodge Guest House and pub — Hotel in Bergrivier Local Municipality

As a paraglider pilot, you really can't ask for anything better than this! From the morning weather briefing, the transport to the launch site, through to the evening braai expertly prepared by the head chef Terina, you will feel like you are being really well looked after not only by a roster of highly professional, experienced and dedicated staff, but a close circle of friends you can get up to some serious mischief with!

The room was immaculately clean and really well equipped, cosy and spacious. Power sockets that take different plug types, wall safe, air-condition, reading chair and ample desk space were all great touches in creating a comfortable den to recharge your body and equipment after a great day of flying or exploring the breath-taking landscape surrounding the lodge.

The communal dining, bar and outdoor seating areas were perfect space to gather and socialise with your fellow pilots and friends. Massive rolled up map and whiteboard for detailed, accurate and concise weather briefing in the morning. Comfortable seating, homey decor and a well stocked bar for evenings of wild tales of past adventures and colourful interpretations of reality (yes, we went there!).

The food... Oh my... Do you remember a time when you tasted something so good that it make all your toes curl up and you are hopelessly lost in this state of blissful delirium as your taste palette is bombarded by flavours you have never ever experienced or imagine could possibly exist? There is plenty of that at the Flyer's Lodge! Locally sourced meat and vegetables, freshly prepared with tender care and expert experience and attention. The ostrich braai steak I had was quite sublime. Next time I go, I will need to get some Kudu steak and politely ask Terina to work her magic on it!

Overall, my stay at the Lodge was magical. The vibe was so relaxing and did so much healing to the soul. Flyers Lodge has set the bar really high for me and I hope to...

We stayed here for two nights because it was on our route and sounded interesting. Because it was out of paragliding season the restaurant was closed, but they booked us into a good restaurant a very short walk away. The accommodation was good. The room was comfortable and warm. There is a large lounge/dining room, with bar, in the main building. Everybody there was very friendly and most helpful. I bet it would be difficult to find a room there in the paragliding season, and if the restaurant had been open we might have rated it 5 star. If in the area we would certainly make this our...

Great place to stay for a paragliding trip in South Africa/Porterville. They have rooms and bunk-beds to rent with a adequate breakfast. Further they offer a safety briefing for first time visitors and supply daily a weather-forcast, beside that you can also make use of their shuttle service to the take-offs aswell as a retrieve-service. The joined diners in the evening are not to be missed, exceptional quality. Most ot the time you will be in bed late as the sunset-view from the back-garden is wonderfull and there are always interesting people around to share a nice...
