Cradle Moon Lakeside Game Lodge

A group of us did a hike here, followed by breakfast. Wonderful experience on overall and the restaurant is phenomenal. The service was impeccable and the waiter was great- he handled such a big order promptly and managed all the variations so well. We will definitely return in the new year. The happy go lucky zebras were delightful and such a treat to see.

Cradle Moon Lodge was an exceptional experience, offering a wide range of activities within the facility, such as paddling, game drives, swimming, and hiking. Entry for day visitors is R50, with separate fees charged for activities. We chose hiking, which we truly enjoy. The trails were easy to navigate, clean, and well maintained. Along the way, we were fortunate to spot zebras, a rhino, and springboks. Another standout feature is the beautiful waterfall created by the river. It is a wonderful place to recharge. Definitely a must visit destination in Muldersdrift.

Only did a hike. The venue offers hikes cycling and has a huge water feature for canoeing. I found the restaurant at the dam stop grubby and the service poor. The scenery along the 5km hike was disappointing. The pool area was overcrowded and unpleasant The one thing that I cannot understand is why people litter in places like this when there are ample trash cans around. Shocking.

Cradle Moon Lakeside Game Lodge is such a gem close to the city! The surroundings are stunning with the lake, wildlife roaming freely, and beautiful walking and cycling trails all around. The accommodation feels peaceful and private, and the lodge has a great balance of nature and comfort. The staff are friendly and always ready to help, which makes the experience even better. Whether you’re here for a romantic getaway, a day out in nature, or some adventure activities, it’s the perfect place to relax and recharge. Highly recommended!

Love this place. I really enjoyed. The waterfall was my highlight. We go back again. The food at restaurant was delish

We visited this Cradle moon as we where doing a hike. The place was neat clean with a sparkling pool. There are alot of activities that you caan do from hiking, watersports and game drives. Restuarant at the lodge was fairly priced however staff was rowdy and not very friendly.

Cradle Moon is bursting with wildlife and has many easy walks for a novice adventurer to enjoy. Aside from the breath taking lake views, there are many statues and the like to enjoy. The restaurant serves delicious milkshakes and the pizza is divine. I would definitely recommend it as a family friendly day outing or even a romantic getaway for couples. Be sure to stop in at the visitor center.

Cradle Moon Lakeside is truly a hidden gem nestled in natural beauty. From the moment you arrive, you're surrounded by breathtaking views—tranquil waters, lush greenery, and open skies that make it feel like an escape from the hustle of everyday life. One of the most unique aspects is the presence of animals roaming freely around the property. Being able to interact with them in such a peaceful, natural setting is both refreshing and grounding. It's not every day you can take a hike and pass by zebra The restaurant deserves a special mention. With stunning views overlooking the lake, it's the perfect spot to unwind after a hike. The food is delicious and well-prepared
