It is rated 4.8 out of 5 on LekkeSlaap from 36 reviews, with cleanliness and service each scored 4.9. The lodge describes its land as part of the farm Waterkloof, granted to Paul Kruger in 1841.

The rooms sleep 35 in all, from singles and doubles to family rooms for three or four. Each garden room has its own entrance and stoep, and rooms come with a fridge, microwave, tea and coffee and a TV. The six Volmoed rooms add a kitchenette and contemporary grey-and-white décor. Breakfast is served at the lodge's own Ossewa Restaurant, and other meals can be booked in advance. In the large garden there is a pool with a view (bring your own swimming towels), plus braai facilities and a function venue for up to 30 guests. Wi-Fi and secure parking are free, and the final stretch of road is gravel.

Birders can look for more than 125 species recorded on the property, and there is geocaching too. LekkeSlaap reviewers often mention the food and the quiet.
