A perfect place for any form of event , good views , relaxing , quiet and peaceful 
Definitely a recommended place to visit and always return to

Perfect

The lodge was recommended by a colleague and, although it was a little further from where we were working than I would have liked, it was well worth the drive. The staff were outstanding and the service, faultless. I would confidently recommend the lodge to friends and family for future stays and will gladly stay over again if I am working in the area, even if it means I must spend a little extra time on the roads.

Short but extremely enjoyable

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Lapeng. Spacious rooms. Good food. Excellent service. Awesome setting. I will surely recommend Lapeng. I do speak to my colleagues about our stay. I will visiting you again soon.

Awesome

some things are missing. With various power interruptions a communal coffee serving area could be established to have some coffee and tea at night / morning. No bottled room. in room. No wine list. It seems for such a nice place these small things would make big difference.

Mixed feelings

If you need a place in the bush for a wedding for around 60 guests, Lapeng is the place. There is accommodation available for all your guests so no one needs to travel late at night after the function. Unfortunately the road from Steelpoort is very bad, so I would recommend travelling via Lydenburg, which is a beautiful scenic road. We stayed the whole weekend and Lapeng supplied all meals. The staff were very friendly, helpful and available. The rooms are well equipped and clean. There is a beautiful chapel for the formal ceremony and a lovely function hall. The food was great and on time, as was asked for.

Wedding weekend

Staff not trained to service customers at the bar as well as the restaurant
Terrible road to get there. No pre-warning when booking was done.
No water in the room. Fairly expensive for what we got
Food was served cold during dinner
Breakfast - only got some of the selected food

No staff training

Value for money - Poor
Quality of food  - Average
Service - Average
Willingness of staff - Above average, but require training
Condition of road to Lodge - Terrible, but not your fault. But warn your guests

Business Stayover

Good day
I had a lovely stay but the only negative I can mention is the service in your restaurant. First of all I ordered drinks that never arrived, secondly you have to order starter, mains and dessert at the same time. No starter arrived.Waited a long time for my food with other guest also complaining about the service and missing orders. I decided not to go for breakfast as it will take to long. Hope you can fix this.
Regards

Issues in the Restaurant

Good Morning dear reader, 

I have one problem with Lapeng Lodge and that is time! But allow me to explain. 

Over the weekend I had the opportunity to isolate myself from the world at Lapeng Lodge. This is not by far the my first lodge in visited of this grading, so my experience this weekend I will compare with previous experiences of similar lodges across the country. 

It is a beautiful lodge, by day you are enticed by the calmness of the gardens and by night by the sparkles of the lights. Although all the rooms are easy walking from the main building you get this feeling of privacy and isolation. The units is so well isolated that I never heard the people next door, not the door opening, or a window closing, nothing.  

When you wake up from bed you have a view over the gardens, grass and bush but if you want to sleep late and you closed the shutters, you see nothing, absolute darkness and even more silence. The one thing that I wasn’t happy about was the bath. I did not have the time or opportunity to use it. It is big and comfortable and great enough for two. This also applies to the bathroom. There is enough space for two to get ready for a wedding or a function. 

On the first night my fellow guests and myself had dinner in the restaurant. We were a big group and the order was diverse. Every plate of food came out perfectly plated and on time. The portions were healthy and made to perfection. For me the most important was that all the food came out at once and warm.

Our second day was a relaxing lazy day. I had the opportunity to view parts and facilities of the lodge that weren’t part of my needs so to speak as a big function is not on my the radar. This tour was interesting. Up at the main lodge I found the well planed wedding hall. First the most important the dance floor.  And yes a dance floor not a dancing area. The sound and the lights is state of the art. This flows to the hall itself, flanked on side by the bar and the other the serving area. The hall runs out on the patio that overlooks a majestic sparking pool. This flows to chapel that is architecturally designed to blend into the surroundings. Whether you are there for a big wedding or, like me, just want to go and sit there to enjoy inner silence, this facility will accommodate you. 

The second morning we went for a walk. Other than game that we looked out for, I also saw other spoors, human spoors. It was obvious that it was those of the night guard. This gave me just more piece of mind as at that point I was so relaxed that I did not know where the keys to my unit were. After the walk I enjoyed the pool. The water was great. Just the right temperature and the right ph balance, also big enough to do laps. 

After all this activity I was so hungry. I cannot tell you about breakfast, you need to experience it. I say two words: "variety and enough"

Then there is the matter of staff. I am one of those guests that will always be friendly with staff but I really see them as the downfall of most establishments. They are either to this or to that, either to in your face or to totally absent.  Now you may say but the lodge, due to circumstances, were quite and the staff weren’t over exerted. You will be wrong. Boredom is the greatest threat to good service. I have a standard rule. I do not eat at an empty restaurant, no matter how good the reputation or the food, you are guaranteed to receive no service. 

No matter how great the facilities, the staff of Lapeng Lodge are by far the greatest assist. They are there when you need them. I do not know where they appear from and they are nowhere to be seen when they are not required. No matter the hour, I was always greeted with a smile, and not those fake (my boss told me to smile) kind of smiles. They show a real concern for your well being. I wasn’t there to make new friends and neither were they. What I did really appreciated was that they could read my mind. We never sat on the patio thirsty or with a lot of classes and bottles on the tables, yet, I cannot tell you when they were cleared it. 

We left the Lapeng Lodge well rested even though we were there for only two nights but sadden because another night or two would have been great. I lie, a week more would have been fantastic. 

You see time was the only problem!

Definition of professional service

The lodge is only about 15minutes outside Steelpoort and the cottages are set in lush green lawns. There is a huge swimming pool and a well equipped gym.
The rooms are clean and spacious, the showers are good with large shower heads providing ample hot water.
Food is good, beer is ice cold and there is a good selection of wine.
Lots of antelope come to feed near the pool at Sun down time
