A lovely place to stay. Attention to detail made the stay comfortable and cosy. Lovely garden and an excellent breakfast. The hosts were friendly and helpful and should be commended on their establishment. Highly recommended.

Very nice property
Darling Guest Lodge is a very nice property. The rooms are well prepared, comfortable, charming and clean.
Our only issue was the very poor internet service, which was almost unusable. The owner will take care of the problem.

Good choice
Enjoyable stay with a very good breakfast. We stayed in the Nina VD Westhuizen room. Would strongly advise against choosing this room at it leads off from the general lounge and would be very noisy if other guests chose to watch TV or enjoyed wine in front of the fire. Stefan is very friendly and most considerate host.

Lovely lodge in perfect location
Lovely stay, perfect location. Very close to Ormonde Vineyards, Darling sweet and all the local attractions.
The attention to detail and warm reception, made this an extra special stay. Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable and breakfast was very nice in a very cute breakfast room. The entire lodge is beautifully decorated and I l loved the quirky decor. There is a pool and garden for the warmer days.

Comfortable stay
I highly recommend Darling Lodge Guest House for those traveling to the West Coast.
There is a super kind staff and there is a beautiful garden. Also cute cats!
The Darling town is small but safe and has no problems with dinner. You can relax in a quiet and comfortable environment.
