Don’t forget your binoculars and walking shoes.

We took refuge for 6 days at Tenahead because we were caught in a snow blizzard on Naudes Nek. Jean-Mari and Franko, were the best hosts who did everything to ensure our stay was comfortable and they worked endlessly at clearing the road to allow us to safely leave. All the staff are amazing.

We loved our stay at Tenahead. The staff are kind and attentive and the lodge itself is lovely. The views were stunning from our room, and we saw amazing birds there too. Some from our bedroom window, some along the way on the hiking routes from the lodge. We would recommend Tenahead for people who like quiet, scenic spots and for people who don't mind a longer bumpy journey to get there.

Exceptional! I enjoyed every minute! Good & friendly service. Loved the fireplace in my room. Good food. Loved it!

6 of us stayed at Tenahead as the first stop of our road trip! Wow, it was extremely hard to leave the next day, really wished we could have stayed longer, but now we have an excuse to come back! We all loved our stay! Staff were so amazing and friendly, smiles all around always! Food was delicious, and being a person who loves food, 5 course portions were perfect! Our tummys were happy! The views were out of this world and our rooms were just pure bliss!!! Definately would like to try winter just so we could experiences more fires and red wine moments. We all will be back!
