Guests generally enjoy their stays at 12 Horizon View, praising its beautiful location, scenic views, and the hot tub. The lodge offers a comfortable setting and is appreciated for its cleanliness and well-maintained outdoor areas. Some guests mention minor maintenance issues and suggest improvements, but these do not detract from the overall positive experiences shared by visitors.
The lodge is mostly described as clean, but some guests noted areas that could be improved, such as bathroom cleanliness and the need for better vacuuming equipment. These isolated comments suggest a generally high standard of cleanliness with room for minor enhancements.
The location is highly praised for its scenic views and proximity to local attractions. Guests find it peaceful and ideal for a relaxing holiday, contributing to a very positive perception of the lodge's setting.
While the lodge is found to be spacious and generally comfortable, several guests have commented on the need for updates to the sofas and improvements to some amenities, indicating that comfort could be enhanced.
Facilities like the hot tub are well-received, but guests have reported issues with maintenance such as leaky taps and slow-draining showers. The presence of a Nespresso machine is noted, but the lack of pods and other small issues suggest that facilities could be better maintained.

Nevertheless it has been well maintained as is in a great location with stunning views. We have stayed in a number of different lodges at Southern Halt and this has become our new favourite.

However I will say the site at Southern Halt contacted me immediately to arrange for alternative accommodation. So I am unable to comment on this particular lodge, however the standard of housekeeping and site maintenance is exceptional.
