Goats Window Luxury Safari Lodge Reviews

Wow… honestly, Goats Window Luxury Safari Lodge is something else. From the second we arrived, the place just felt unreal. The views alone make you feel like you’re in another world — proper peaceful, proper beautiful, and exactly what you want when you’re trying to switch off. The rooms are next level. Clean, modern, and honestly just super comfortable. You can see they really put effort into every little detail. Waking up with wildlife literally right outside your window… you can’t beat that. The staff were amazing too. Super friendly, always helpful, and you can see they actually care about your stay. Nothing felt like too much effort for them. The game drives were definitely a highlight — proper sightings, friendly guides who know exactly what they’re talking about, and just a really cool experience from start to finish. If you’re looking for a place that’s peaceful, luxurious, and just has that special vibe, Goats Window is the spot. We left feeling relaxed and honestly wishing we had stayed longer. Highly recommend!

Goats Window – An Unforgettable Bush Escape ★★★★★ I’ve just experienced a day from at Goats Window and I’m still buzzing. This place is pure magic – a beautiful, intimate lodge tucked away in the Waterberg with insane views, warm hospitality, and activities that left me grinning from ear to ear. The highlight for me was the quad biking with Ryan. What a legend! Ryan is the kind of guide who instantly makes you feel like an old friend – funny, super knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the bush. We blasted along dusty trails, climbed rocky hills, and stopped at viewpoints that made my jaw drop. I felt totally safe and in control, the best adrenaline rush I’ve had in years. The sunset game drive was the perfect wind-down. We spotted giraffe, zebra, kudu, and even the shy buffalo, John Deere, but the tracker and guide were on another level. Sipping a cold appletizer while the sky exploded into oranges and pinks over the valley is a memory I’ll keep forever. Back at the lodge, I basically lived on the deck. The private hot tub overlooking the endless bushveld is next-level relaxation. Bubbles and the sounds of the African night… I didn’t want to leave. Even the game that wander past added to the charm. And the food – oh man. Every single meal was outstanding. Fresh, flavourful, beautifully presented, and generous portions. The chef clearly loves what he does. The rooms are spacious, stylish, and super comfortable – huge bed, and that killer view from your private deck. The whole team at Goats Window made me feel so welcome; nothing was too much trouble, especially Peter, who was super friendly. If you’re looking for adventure, total relaxation, incredible wildlife experiences, and food that makes you happy – book Goats Window. 100% recommended. One of the best stays I’ve ever had in South Africa.

Hierdie was ons eerste naweek by Goats Window en al wat ek kan sê is WOW!!! Die plek is amazing die staff is amazing hulle is bereid om die ekstra myl vir hulle gaste te gaan en so ongelooflik vriendelik! Die eco pods is ‘n droom ‘n mens ontspan definitief en ons was bevoorreg om bietjie bokke ook van ons pod af te sien. En dan natuurlik moet ek noem ons het verloof geraak by Goats Window en die moeite wat hulle gedoen het was ongelooflik en hoe opgewonde hulle saam met ons was. ‘n Mens voel deel van hulle. Ek recommended definitief Goats Window. Ons sal verseker terug gaan! Baie dankie aan die span Rula, Adolph, Marelise, Craig, Ryan. Julle is amazing!

Great locating with beautiful views. We stayed in an eco lodge which had a well thought out layout. Two minor points of constructive criticism would be: 1. Some shade over the patio 2. Privacy wall next to the hot tub Ryan took us on an excellent quad experience. Thank you for going the extra mile...literally!

Had a wonderful family time away at this magical place perched high up on the hills with views for miles. Sadly didn’t get to use our hot tub due to strong winds and a chilly breeze. Cottage had all the essentials needed for our stay. Fantastic on site activities. Game drive with Adolph was great and he is very informative. Quad biking with Ryan was fantastic - lots of fun had by us all and a great way to explore around the farm on the quad bikes. Big thanks to Ryan for all the family pictures he took along the way 🙏🏻

Understanding the art of true hospitality To mark a special milestone — our 55th birthdays — my husband and I decided to leave behind the hustle and bustle of city life and retreat to a place where we could simply be. Our search for serenity led us to GoatsWindow, and what we found was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like VIPs. Every detail of our 3-day stay was infused with warmth, care, and a deep sense of hospitality. The peace we were seeking wrapped around us like a gentle breeze, and we felt truly seen and celebrated. A heartfelt thank you to the incredible team — Jay, Peter, Marzaane, Roula and Avian — who made our experience unforgettable. Your kindness and attention to detail made us feel so special. If you're looking for a place to escape, recharge, and reconnect — look no further. GoatsWindow understands the art of true hospitality and the magic of meaningful moments. We’ll definitely be back… 💫

Epic First Quad Biking Experience! What an absolutely epic time we had at Goat’s Window! It was both my husband’s and my very first quad biking experience, and I’m so glad it happened here — and with Ryan as our guide. Ryan’s teaching instructions were clear, simple, and easy to follow, which instantly made us feel comfortable. Throughout the tour, he regularly checked in on us to make sure we were doing okay. In between the drives and stops, he still found the time to take plenty of beautiful photos, capturing our memories in such great quality. We’ll treasure those pictures forever! The drive was not rushed at all — he took his time so we could fully enjoy the stunning farm views. The scenery was breathtaking, and the whole experience felt personal and memorable. This was without a doubt one of the key highlights of our time here, and we would recommend it to anyone visiting!
