Rooms
The lodge offers Comfort Family, Superior King, Executive King, Business King, Premium King, and Luxury King rooms. Each unit includes a fireplace, a modern bathroom with walk-in shower and standalone tub, and a coffee machine. Some rooms overlook the dam or duck pond. Heated blankets are provided during winter. Kitchenettes are available in select rooms.
Dining
The on-site Lakeside Restaurant serves meals you enjoy, with live music on Saturday nights. It operates separately from the lodge, so breakfast is not included. The food quality is good, but service can be hit or miss-reservations may not be honored promptly. Room service is available, though cutlery and cooking can be inconsistent.
Leisure
The year-round outdoor pool is heated, but a net over it prevents ducks from swimming, so you won't be able to use it. The spa offers full-body, foot, and couples massages. You can rent bicycles, go fishing on property (the dam is overgrown with grass), or cycle into town. A shared lounge and terrace are available.
Walk to Town, Quiet Countryside
Critchley Hackle Lodge sits on the edge of Dullstroom, a short walk from the main road with shops and restaurants. Dullstroom Railway Station is 2 km away, Bergendal Monument 43 km, and Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport 200 km. The grounds feel peaceful, with a view of the dam and well-kept gardens.
Services
Services include private check-in/check-out, daily housekeeping, laundry and ironing, meeting/banquet facilities, and a shared lounge/TV area. Safety features include CCTV, key access, and a safety deposit box. Free WiFi and parking (including accessible spots) are provided. Bicycle rental and spa packages are available on request.
“The lodge cultivates a distinctly cozy winter atmosphere, with fireplaces lending a genuine Dullstroom feel to well-appointed rooms and the welcome addition of heated blankets ensuring warmth. It's conveniently situated for exploring the main road on foot, and the grounds surrounding the duck pond offer a tranquil setting.”
James DavidEditor-in-Chief at Zampumalanga
