One of the best couple’s getaway! Every staff member we encountered was helpful and friendly. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The delicious food was a farm to fork atmosphere. The on site spa was relaxing. Overall a 10/10 experience!

We stayed here over the weekend to celebrate our birthdays, and it was truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how immaculate, lush, and absolutely gorgeous the grounds are, it feels like a true escape. What made the experience even more special was the staff. Every single person we encountered made us feel genuinely valued and appreciated. Their attention to detail is exceptional, and it’s clear they truly care about creating a memorable experience for their guests. Somehow, it felt like everyone knew we were celebrating, throughout our stay, we were warmly wished a happy birthday again and again, which made it feel incredibly personal and thoughtful. This place exceeded all expectations, and I would absolutely return without hesitation. Highly, highly recommend for anyone looking for a special, elevated getaway.

Our girls' weekend at Bernardus Lodge was the definition of relaxation. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable - a special shoutout to Edgar from the valet team for going above and beyond to assist us throughout our stay. Our room was a sanctuary: spacious enough for the whole group, beautifully appointed, and incredibly peaceful. We also had the pleasure of dining at the restaurant for both dinner and brunch, and every dish was absolutely delicious. We left feeling completely refreshed and are already counting down the days until we can return!

Time flew. We couldn't tear ourselves away and ended up staying an extra day. Decadent splurge for us and we didn't regret it. We felt spoiled and very relaxed.

"The Bernardus Lodge was wonderful. My husband and I spent our anniversary weekend at the lodge and found it very relaxing, romantic and the service was beyond exceptional. They were attentive to every need and always made us feel like their top priority. We also visited the spa and had a wonderful experience. We will definitely go back!"
