Our stay at the resort was truly memorable. The dirt road leading to the resort was in great shape, making our arrival smooth. The accommodation was comfortable and well-equipped, perfect for a family getaway. The picturesque surroundings and opportunities for outdoor activities made for an enjoyable stay. However, the remote location means there’s limited availability of nearby services and the dining options could be improved.

Qwantani Resort offers stunning views of the Sterkfontein Dam and has excellent facilities, making it a great spot for relaxation. The chalets are comfortable and dog-friendly, which is a plus for pet owners. However, the journey to the resort can be challenging due to the poorly maintained gravel road, and the cleanliness in the apartments could use improvement. Overall, it's a beautiful place for nature lovers looking for tranquility.
