Ouirgane Ecolodge

was a good place if you want to relax

This is a small hotel, one hour south of Marrakesh. It was a nice drive through a couple of villages and slowly climbing but you're in no way at a significant altitude. I asked for a car to take us from our hotel in Marrakesh. That was fine but in hindsight I should have arranged it myself and probably saved myself half the 70 euros I did pay. You could certainly arrange pickup from the lodge by someone from Marrakesh but we did use their (different) man, who drove us back and was friendly. I had been emailing Mohamed and he was helpful but he didn't offer lots of information unless asked. When you are there, there is nowhere else to eat, so you need to like tajines for dinner. There is a sweet little pool although unheated and was very cold in early April but still welcome after a 5-hour guided walk (arranged by the lodge, lunch halfway round) on a warm day around the valley. The guide was called Ibrahim and he was a brilliant guy with excellent English. Back at the lodge, in the bedroom there were no blackout blinds so take an eyemask or be prepared to wake up early! There was no TV but that was no problem and the internet did work but was a bit patchy. Breakfast was OK - pancakes, bread, boiled eggs, OJ, which we ate in the large garden on our two sunny mornings. All in all, it was a nice break from Marrakesh but don't go if you don't like walks and get bored quickly.

It was ok!

Beautiful lodge with great views, friendly staff and tasty food. Amazing value for money and would love to return. Very peaceful surroundings although we were a little unlucky with an inconsiderate family. Still found some space to relax.

Had a lovely stay, staff were excellent,very helpful and pleasant to speak too. In the dining area for breakfast and dinner they prepared a lovely fire which was very welcome as it was cold. Water was hot in room, but it was differcult to keep the bedroom warm without using the heater. I’m sure in the summer months the style of construction will keep the rooms at a great temperature. Breakfast inc was good. I would love them to improve the initial entrance off the road, but once through the gates they are obviously spending time preparing the garden to grow veg, fruits and making it look a nice environment to spend time in.

Ecolodge is a fantastic place to stay, with a fantastic position in the Atlas Mountains. The rooms are large and clean with really lovely en suite shower rooms.. There are beautiful gardens and 2 great terraces where you can lie by the pool, or soak up the mountains all around you... It is peaceful and tranquil and a real haven. The staff were totally delightful... so helpful, friendly and accommodating ... we spent 4 days here and couldn’t fault it... Thank you to all the staff - we will definitely be back!

Staff were very friendly and helpful and we generally enjoyed our stay. There was a lovely roof terrace and garden to relax in after days out. We would recommend having your own transport when staying here as the transport arranged for us seemed quite expensive (transfer from Marrakech was reasonable at 40 Euro, but it cost 80 Euro to do a trip to the Tin Mal Mosque which was only an hours drive away). There are walks you can do from the lodge, but note that the route down the valley to Tassa Wirgane and beyond is now a major new road under construction and so no longer a good walking option.

Location was amazing, staff were very attentive, food was top notch!

Very nice. Just need the rooms to be a little warmer in the winter.

Wonderful lodge with great food and hospitality. Highly recommended! Check out the local Village for a look into local living

Great location, big rooms and brilliant staff. Would definitely go back

Beautiful location and very friendly staff. The food was amazing and the pool was so refreshing after hiking in the mountains.

This place was a real oasis. It is completely in the middle of nowhere, but very comfortable, and lovely staff. The food proper Moroccan, loads of it, and very tasty. We spent a whole week walking and lounging by the (unheated but very refreshing pool). We were very well looked after, and would not hesitate to recommend it.

Great place. Fantastic surroundings. Service is amateurish to say to least.

Nicely rustic place but accessed by a one kilometre trip down a rutted dirt road. Very friendly manager and staff also very pleasant. Good standard of cleanliness and general maintenance. Breakfast was absolutely fine but dinner was a highlight - great tagines, couscous, homemade breads. Worth visiting just for the food!

Très bon accueil. Petite structure très bien entretenue. Belle chambre pour 4 avec deeux espaces séparés. Bon restaurant et petit déjeuner. Le top ! Au pied des montagnes.

Wonderful, peaceful, quiet, delicious food. And Hassan and Mohamed making you want to stay there for way longer than planned. Great stay, can't wait to go back (insha'Allah!)

Had a wonderful stay at Ouirgane Ecolodge. The staff were helpful, the lodge lovely, room clean and well appointed, the views majestic and the food delicious. Only very small issue was the bed was on the hard side and the water in the shower on the cool side.

Pool, Garten, Zimmer, Dachterrasse, Essen und Service ist perfekt

Heel rustig in een achterafstraatje. Prachtig uitzicht over de omringende bergen, zeker vanaf een van de dakterrassen. Mooie omgeving voor wandelingen. En maar een uur rijden vanaf Marrakesch. Heerlijke gemeenschappelijke ruimtes waar je kan eten, maar ook een spelletje kan doen. Wij waren er in de winter en dan wordt gezellig het haardvuur aangestoken. Zeer gastvrij ontvangen met (uiteraard) een potje muntthee. En Hassan tovert het ene na het andere heerlijke gerecht uit de keuken. We hadden zelf een flesje wijn meegebracht vanuit de bewoonde wereld ;-) ook geen probleem, daarvoor haalde hij meteen de kurkentrekker en glazen tevoorschijn. De kinderen willen terug voor het ontbijt.
