Panorama Chalets and Rest camp — Hotel in Thaba Chweu Local Municipality

We arrived afternoon to sunshine and a stunning view which I briefly saw beginning of October. We had a choice of grassed camping pitches, which all had electricity, lighting and movable braai. They are pretty level and have enough room for one camper and vehicle and shaded with large trees. As there was a laundry (which is reasonably priced) and we had been on a road trip for a few weeks, I thought I'd get some washing done. I wish I had left it for the next day, as that night it rained and carried on through the next day till evening, with thick fog. Any hope of seeing God's Window was gone. The following day after that was dry with intermittent fog and overcast, but in the morning was able to see the magnificent view briefly from the pool area, which I imagine to be the same as God's Window as it is the other side of Graskop. Unfortunately by the time we got to the entrance of God's Window it was thick thick fog/cloud, but Bourke's Luck Potholes and Lisbon Falls were a little lower down the mountain out of fog and worth seeing, though the Potholes were quite crowded. There is a shop at reception which has a few essentials and a restaurant (a little overpriced) that is busy, and so a reservation needs to be made, but takeaways are available. The ablutions are clean and spacious with plenty of hot water. There is an undercover braaiing area which was needed in the continuous rain with an electric hob and washing-up area. There are chalets, but have no idea to what they are like. Would we stay here again, maybe. It is a bit overpriced for camping, but you are paying for the view when it is visible and they have the monopoly for that. The facilities were good though and...

Avoid this place like the Plague

If you are looking for a nice peaceful place to enjoy a vacation this is not it.

Management is so hard up for money that they demand R10 for a junk map before they will give travel directions.

The campsites are filthy, and muddy from the nightly rain. There is no adherence to their own noise policies and they allow large groups of young people to make noise until 2am, without repercussion.

Management take no responsibility for anything that occurs on their property and blame everyone including the gate guard for their own failings.

From the attitude and the state of repair of the buildings here it is pretty obvious that the owners have run out of money, and are not investing in normal maintenance and upkeep let alone managing the place to normal standards.

As we were unable to enjoy the peace and quite expected in such a place we left early. Management of course not only refused to refund our unused site rental, a mere US $32.00, but refused to reply to any correspondence sent to them.

Pretty view but not worth the aggravation of dealing with these people. Stay Away!!

Update: Interesting to see that the owner has the time to be able to respond to my comments, but did not have the time or manners to respond to my emails. Not a smear campaign, just a campaign to make prospective customers aware the this is not a good place to stay, and to investigate other places in the area. Take a long look at the other reviews on here, I am not the only one to think the owners are cheap and...

If you are used to a more upscale and finer accommodation in life, this is not for us.|The environment, mountains, swimming pool and restaurant looks heavenly and breath taking. |Dolly at reception is extremely friendly, kind and helpful - what a lovely lady. |The resort is extremely clean, beautiful and neat but the chalets is not the same at all - very disappointing. |SUCH A HUGE CONTRAST.|The main bedroom is extremely small and it feels prison like. It is literally just a sleeping area - old, cold and outdated.|When you want to bath the water runs for a little while and then it is cold water. You have to wait 20 minutes before you can try to sponge off again.|You get one cheap toilet roll for 2 adults for 2 nights - take your own double ply toilet paper.|Nobody empty the rubbish bin in the kitchen. After 2 days the bin was full. There is also no broom and no one clean the chalet. |There is an emergency remote in the bedroom which is not working - we got stuck in the chalet as the key broke. You must phone the emergency number. Dolly once again assisted us at 19h00 at night.|The microwave was broken as well but Dolly brought a brand new microwave immediately. |If your budget is tight this may be for you but I personally prefer Angel's View 2km...
