    I always enjoy visiting Crags Country Lodge, when your friendly staff walk out to greet you with a warm cloth to wipe your hands, when you walk into the beautiful dining room, with local blooms on the table, when you get given a complimentary drink, when the little platter of freshly baked rolls and herb butter & a paté arrive... Oh what a joy to know that every person is passionate about making your dining experience a memorable one. Thank you for always being consistent in providing the best service along with a delicious meal.

    Good morning and thank you and your staff for service excellence and the preparedness to go the extra mile. More than the beauty and magnificent views, the venue is very special, the food lovingly, tastefully prepared and presented (compliments to chef), but the friendliness of the staff, adds to ambience and sense of well being. Thank you so much and I will recommend you to all I know. With gratitude, Judith Kusel

    The friendly and efficient staff were quite outstanding with exceptional attention to detail. A lot of thought went into the set menu. The dishes we were served were of a really high standard. One of us was allergic to the small quail bones and we appreciated the chef checking up on us and offering an alternative. Thanks for a delightful evening.
