The Mansion Lodge is a guest lodge in Hartbeespoort, North West, marketing itself on mountain and dam views and a short drive to the restaurants and activities around the dam. It publishes one telephone number and a contact form, and nothing else: no email address and no street address appear on its site.

The Mansion Lodge contact details

The 067 number is a mobile and it is the only number the lodge publishes. There is no landline and no reception switchboard, which is normal for a lodge of this size but does mean there is no second number to try if it goes unanswered. Use the enquiry form as the fallback.

Rooms

The lodge lists its rooms individually rather than by category, so quote the room name when you enquire. The named rooms are Pontiac, Lallament, Greystone, Michaux, a double en-suite and a honeymoon studio.

Booking without a published address

Because no street address is published, ask for the physical address and the gate or access instructions in writing when the booking is confirmed, along with the check-in and check-out times. Hartbeespoort properties are often on estates or behind a controlled gate, and arriving without the access detail after dark is the usual problem. Ask too whether the rate is per room or per person, and what the cancellation terms are, since a small lodge sets its own rather than following a platform standard.
