    The menu at the on-site rests was limiting in that it didn’t offer a vegetarian main course

    Our mattress and pillows really needs attention. I think it is too old and worn out, 😔 sorry And then while I’m on the didn’t like list The restaurant owners are very nice people and the food not too bad. But there is where I got the feeling the culture there is busy changing. It was always the waiters with their nice black and white suits and white serviette over the arm ready to serve. The light in the glass dining area is blinding you. They say thay will dim it but only when you ask. There is no ambiance. Me and my husband had a nice chat with Val and Yolandi, they are really good people But it would be much better if the restaurant can have that Traditional dining experience back. I get the feeling of a pub restaurant. Owner was discussing the rest of his guests and their complaints with us. Not professional

    I want to see that the “old traditional” culture still stays Because we are regular visitors to Dullstroom for nearly 30years now That is why we love Walkersons for the old English country feeling. The Lakeside View unit nr 12 at Critchley Hackle was very good . I really felt like I was in heaven Love the decor, reminds me of the past years with Dullstroom and its trout and dam culture. We have a farm near Dullstroom and will see you again

    A really beautiful property in a fabulous location. Easily within walking distance or short drive to all that Dullstroom has to offer. Our accommodation was immaculate and very tastefully decorated. The trout dam is a great feature and very pleasant scene to sit beside from your unit.

    Restaurant closed, apparently privately run but when we booked this was not disclosed. Being able to have breakfast in that setting was one of the attractions. This needs to be rectified.

    Peaceful setting. Nice trout dam. Close to Dullstroom.

    At supper the first night we had lamb shank which was supposed to be slow roasted...it was hard and very dry. We decided not to eat there again

    The location was lovely and close to town. The chalet we had was comfortable, however it would have been nice to have chairs outside to enjoy the gardens. Only the front chalets had patios with furniture on.
