Next to the Lodge you will find Graskop Gorge Lift Company with famous BIG SWING where you can experience the adrenaline of a 68 m free-fall in less than three seconds, on one of the worlds highest cable gorge swings, or fly across the gorge on a high wire 80 m above ground zero and witness the breathtaking Graskop Falls as never seen before. The course starts from the top of a 5m tower, with 360 views. Participants ride a 120m-long zipline to the northern side of the gorge before walking a short distance along a scenic platform and zipping back along a second zipline of equal length. There is also a spectacular 52m-long Suspension Bridge spans the northern and southern sides of the gorge.
"Place is good for group of people"
"When we arrived they said i still had outstanding monies and that the company didnt inform Mogodi that they received it. The dstv did not work and we had no hot water. At 23;30 i had to phone them ask them to sort the water out as it was reported at 17:00 already. Not happy at all!!!"
"Nice place. Good location. If I go back to the area I will definitely consider staying there again."
"All good - everything was great"
"Chalet is perfect and had everything we needed. Maybe electric blanket for bed for the cold nights"
"We had a situation where my boyfriend's mother was admitted in ICU on Friday the 6th but he was told only on the 7th ..cause we had extended our booking til the 9th on the 11 hour we went to the reception asking to check out on the 8th instated of the 9th and of we could be refunded for the one day as we had an emmigiency and all we got from the reception was that the manager was not around and they will update give us feed back the afternoon on the 7th .When we came back later in the afternoon we recieved the same answer and they promised to come later to our house but that never happened i mean we even suggested that money that I paid for the 9th be left in my safari account to use it later in the year when we go on vacation again but that was still not good enough ...can someone please let me if I can be assisted in anyway ..I wanted to still stay in that place but it was beyond our control ...My experience could have been wonderful but due to the fact that no one wanted to give us clear answer I am not happy with the overall service or the visit to this place"
"Very safe,friendly staff and spacious facilities. It needed perhaps air-conditioning, because the fireplace needed to work all night."
"We had a great stay, clean and comfortable chalet. It wil be useful if there was a shelve for shampoo and stuff in the shower though...The fireplace in the lounge should have been in the living room instead, in order to heat up a bigger area."
"Clean, neat rooms. Very friendly and helpful staff."
"I enjoyed the view and the friendly service."
"The receptionist was not friendly at all. Very hostile, insisting we settle our bill on arrival without us having seen the place and in spite of the standard procedure being settling one's bill when one checks out. Luckily we did not let her bad attitude deter us from enjoying our stay at the lodge but they could definitely be a little more friendly and welcoming to out of town guests."
"Thanks for a very pleasant stay. Great Location. Close to all attractions. Unit is very spacious and neat. Thanks for helping us with a Camping cot and daybed in living room.Suggestions:- A wooden dinner table in the living area would be nice, instead of the plastic dinner table (would work very well outside at the braai - have so much space inside for a proper dinner table. - Maybe an oven, since it is self-catering.- Salad bowels.- The rest of the house's curtains are so beautiful, maybe upgrade the curtains in the living area? Otherwise - thank you very much, would definitely come and stay here again. Thanks"
"Great place clean rooms fresh towels everyday breakfast was delicious thank you so much will definitely book again on our next vacation and will recommend to friends and family"
"I loved everything about Mogodi lodge. Improvement in the making of carports for guests"
"The houses are very spacious and they are very good especially when traveling with children. Lovely place to stay at. I would definitely recommend it to others."
"The place is very clean, quiet and nearby all the main attractions."
"Nice and close to all activities that the lowveld has to offer, Gods Window, Pot Holes, Blyde River Canyon, Sabie, Pilgrims Rest. Acommadation was comfortable, just a pity that on arrival we were not happy with the unit that had been booked, as it was a small batchelor pad type of unit. And when booking it was not explained how small it was for two people. Luckily there was a larger unit available. Staff are friendly."
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thank you."
"The neatness of the lodge , the amazing views , the quitness of the area makes u feel safe"
"We really enjoyed our stay at this Lodge, the place was very beautiful and specious, we enjoyed the view, the chalet was very clean, we definitely stay here again"
"The unit was very clean, fresh towels every day, built in braai & very peaceful. I really enjoyed my stay. I would recommend it to anyone that need some peace and quiet"
"Fr einen tollen Aufenthalt in der Mongolei Loge!<br/>Sauberes Zimmer, sauberes Bad, freundliche Ausknfte, tolle Kche, schneller Support via E-Mail....Einzig das defekte WiFi wre ein kleiner Kritikpunkt...Aber wir wissen ja, wie der Telefonreperaturservice in SA sein kann.<br/>Was bleibt zu sagen? Jederzeit wieder!"
"Awesome place with friendly general staff."
"Had a wonderful stay. Clean, quiet and loved the food as well."
"Centrally located to access the beauty offered by the Lowveld, Mogodi Lodge is the ideal venue. Clean, neat, daily service (with fresh towels and cleaning of the braai!) with very friendly and helpful staff our stay was perfect. Although self-catering, the restaurant was was great too and reasonably priced with personal and attentive service. Overall, a lovely experience and value for money."
"The establishment is by far the best for a self catering. It had all the imneties one requires for a comfortable stay. Thank you!"
"Nice place good location nice room service in restaurant a bit slow"
"Thanks to Quintus for an amazing stay, and dealing with our requirements and queries. Excellent service. Perhaps better heating in the Mtitsi chalets, especially during the cold Mpumalanga winters."
"We stayed at Mogodi for four nights. We enjoyed the stay as it is central to all the attractions in the region. It is very well maintained and we enjoyed the fireplace in the evenings? the food and service at their restaurant was exceptional. Will definitely recommend to friends."
"Baie lekker verblyf en ideaal gelee. Restaurant is aan te beveel op die perseel!"
"client services all around was good.However,in the unit itself,all the household appliances were not there,pots and bowlswith no lids,the coffee in the satches were rock hard,there was no rooibos tea supplied and no bar room service at all from the restaurant.My wife and daughter complained of no wi - fi at the lodge,where all the places we've been in and around south Africa have it,even the other lodges in Graskop have free wi - fi"
"the place is nice and clean, the room top up"
"Thanks for the wonderful place to stay and affordable. I enjoyed my stay"
"What an experience!!,the place is neat, daily house keeping was on point and the view from the chaletsis amazing.<br></br>Thank you so much for such lovely stay, i really enjoyed my stay at Mogodi and it was central to all the attractions I wanted to visit."
"<p>I injoyed our stay and the friendly. </p><p></p>"
"Well setup and equipped.<div><br /></div><div>Very nice overnight stay.</div>"
"The unit itself is comfortable with good furnishings. Nice wooden cupboards and a firm but comfortable mattress.<br /><br />A few small things bothered us, like hosepipes left lying across our doorway and a braai hafway through the cleaning process left in front of our unit.<br /><br />Our unit also looked almost directly into the owner's garage, stealing some of the appeal.<br /><br />I did get the impression that we were more houseguests than people staying at a lodge. <br /><br />The town is very dead at night, with the exception of an excellent Portuguese restaurant "Canimambo" just a few blocks up.<br />"
"Had a great stay with friendly staff and great service."
"<p>good value for Money. Mustbe a great view, but weather was bad, so we had no view.</p><p>Good food and breakfast at Restaurant.</p>"
"Experienced the most relaxing time at Mogodi Lodge. Rooms were clean, well furnished and well maintained. The view is spectacular, a real piece of heaven. Water and lights would suddenly go off, but not for longer than 20 minutes. We were told that all the town (Graskop) experiences water pressure problems, and all the high areas are affected, this is understandable so it didn't bother us too much. <br /><br />Overall a relaxing time spent out of joburg and in nature. So close to all the tourist destinations such as God's Window and others. <br /><br />Management were friendly and helpful. <br /><br />Thank you Mogodi Lodge for a lovely weekend getaway! <br />"
"had a bful time . I stayed in self catering chalet and it was good.<div>They have a Big Swing within their premises. Its a kind of Bungee and swing.</div><div>liked the place.</div><div>Would visit again</div>"
"The breakfast was lovely.<div>The only dissapointing thing was that the tea and coffee utensils in the room were dirty , and so were the pillow cases and the rooms were freezing cold.</div>"
"We booked a room at Mogodi Lodge because it was one of the few places that would let you book for only one night - we were touring the area and did not want to stay in one place throughout. The rooms are a bit dated (let say 90's chic), but it has everything you need. The price includes breakfast which we thought to be excellent value for money, especially considering the delicious breakfast spread you get to choose from. The hosts are wonderful people, making you feel at home even if you are only there for a night. They were super accommodating, letting us check in early, and they didn't find us strange when we only ordered ice-cream and wine for dinner that evening. The location is great, just outside of Graskop, so within easy reach of all the local attractions. Will definitely stay again."
"Stayed at the lodge on 15 and 16 Feb 2015, booked for one double room and one backpacker room as I was showing my sister-in-law and her son visiting from overseas the panorama area.<div>Many thanks to our host for kindly putting me in a double room next to their room for our convenience with no extra cost.<span style="line-height: 1.5;">Such kindness!</span><span style="line-height: 1.5;">We really enjoyed our stay there. The food and service was brilliant! Nice location too. Facilities are well maintained.</span><span style="line-height: 1.5;">Will definitely come back.</span><span style="line-height: 1.5;">Be blessed!</span></div>"
"We had an awesome stay at Mogodi Lodge! Very peaceful and everything we needed. Nicely situated, close to so many places! The best view!"
"We enjoyed our stay over the past weekend.The service were good and the restaurant food were very delicious.Were a bit disappointed in Graskop, the town is way below standard, however enjoyed the scenery in Sabie and Pilgrims Rest. Finally, good accommodation for a fare price!"
"Loved our stay at Mogodi Lodge! Very clean and friendly staff."
"The actual chalet was quite nice, spacious & clean. However there was an acute shortage of hot water, and we were cold as there were no heaters.With their climate it is not acceptable to simply have a fireplace if they are not prepared to light in on a complimentary basis."
"We really enjoyed our stay at Mogodi Lodge. It was spacious, clean, good quality furnishings and had everything you would need in a self catering unit. I would recommend staying there should you wish to explore Graskop and surrounds."
"Great stay! Beautiful environment. Friendly hosts. Will definitely return!"
"The scenery was great and tranquil. The rates are very good for family self catering stay. I'll surely come back for spring.However, please work on your furniture - make it a bit modern and homey comfortable. Get rid of the spiders webs and dust residue almost everywhere. Make sure you linen is fresh always. Be that as it may, I enjoyed my stay. And will come back."
"Upon arrival we were greeted by a chalet that had not been cleaned from previous visitors. After a 5 hour trip this was not how we wanted to start our holiday. Even after the cleaning lady had left there was used condom wrappers in the main bedroom drawers. The music from the big swing was also very distracting and really was annoying. The facilites were ok, the surroundings beautiful."
"Nice place, clean, near center of the town."
"EXCELLENT, DAILY SERVICE AND CLEANING OF HOUSE REALLY IMPRESSED ME, THE FACT THAT WE RECEIVED CLEAN TOWELS EVERYDAY, BETTER THAN CRYSTAL SPRINGS WHICH ONLY SUPPLY CLEAN TOWELS AFTER 4 DAYS.."
"The lodge was very neat and clean, the staff is friendly and very helpful. The food at the restaurant was lovely all in all a great place to stay in Graskop."
"I enjoyed my stay. The lodge is situated in a very convenient place, very close to all tourist attractions. The restaurant also had great food."
"What an experience, what a warm and welcoming environment with friendly staff members, I wish I could have stayed a little bit longer. It was indeed a weekend to remember, all thanks to Mogodi lodge.I am surely going to visit again."
"We enjoyed our stay at Mogodi Lodge. The Staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the surrounding attractions."
"Groe saubere Ferienwohnung mit ausreichend Platz fr 4 Erwachsene. 2 Bder vorhanden, aber leider ist nur in einem Badezimmer eine Toilette. Das zweiten Badezimmer ist mit Handwaschbecken und Badewanne ausgestattet, ohne Mglichkeit zu duschen. Letztendlich also nur ein nutzbares Bad. In der Ksche gibt es nicht wie sonst blich einen Minivorrat an Salz und Gewrzen, muss man alles selbst mitbringen.Lage ist gut, Betten ok, kann man guten Gewissens weiterempfehlen."
"A beautiful clean warm environment, very friendly staff and the food at the restaurant was top notch. Definitely a good choice."
"Family overnight on route to the Kruger Park - great facilities - must try the swing."
"Ek het die verblyf baie geniet en die mense was baie vriendelik!"
"We had a comfortable cozy stay at Mogodi lodge. Four of us shared a chalet (2 per bedroom, although the one room had 2 single beds which was disappointing), and it was great having a shower and a bath facility, which is unusual in a 3 star place. The fireplace was perfect for winter, although the chalet can do with a few rugs on the floor to heat it up. The tiles are a little cold. All in all, the facilities are perfect as far as a 3 star establishment is concerned. I would definitely use Mogodi again and recommend it."
"Very nice place. Clean, neat, great food at the restaurant. I will definitely book there again in the future."
"We had a good time at Mogodi lodge, the place feels like home and the people are wonderful."

"The lodge was fine but it was a frozen chalet!We spent a very cool night in spite of a heat-machine and the bathroom was so cold in the morning (about 12 C)"
"I had a magnificent time, the accomodation was wonderful and the food great. Had a lovely time."
"The accommodation matches the view, which is awesome! THE place to stay when I visit again."
