Comfortable and safe. We slept very comfortably and safely. It is very quiet and the secure parking for our vehicle ensured that we could sleep peacefully. Room was neat and clean. Will definitely stay there again.

Gerieflik en veilig. Ons het baie gemaklik en veilig geslaap. Dit is baie stil en die veilige parkering vir ons voertuig het vir seker dat ons rustig kon slaap. Kamer was netjies en skoon. Sal beslis weer daar oornag.

Shocking. When a place asks me to send them negative comments rather than posting online, I'm already worried. I don't do reviews for the owner, but for fellow travelers. We stayed in Block A, so it's not about the whole place, but about the specific block - I know there are other accommodations that are definitely better. Upon arrival, we didn't have to get the key at reception, but in a dilapidated key box that sits against a wall by the gate. That would have been ok, but the grass here was knee-high and I had to walk through the grass to get the key. I have no idea what would happen if it rained - it's really just against a wall with no roof over it and a bush of grass for a floor. So there's no welcoming or introduction to the host. I find it very strange. The parking is far from the room and everything you need has to be carried over the distance, while there is parking right in front of the place. Gate C where you have to enter, however, has bars so you can't drive up to the place. There was laundry hanging around outside and it almost looked like a student or contractor accommodation. The advert didn't mention it. Where the wildlife is that is in the name, there is no question or it is one big secret where they move. I couldn't see any area that would be suitable for keeping wildlife. So the name should have been Hostel - it is just a bunch of apartment blocks. The room we stayed in is A15. At first glance the room is spacious enough for two people for one night. The problem here was the bathroom - I don't know when the owner was last in it. The roof has one big water leak and it has been there for so long that black mould is thriving in the roof. It has already fallen in a hole and is definitely a health hazard. We didn't even use the bath or shower because it just felt too dirty. The one towel that was left on the bed for us doesn't even deserve the description floor cloth. It is dirty and tattered - I can't understand how you would leave something like that for anyone to use. The bed is large, but very uncomfortable and has had its days. Then the big problem - there were people in the place all night standing next to each other, but talking so loudly that you could hear it in the city. Then at 2 am all hell breaks loose with people laughing, shouting and talking so that no sleep could be had for at least an hour. It is clear that they came from a drinking place and have absolutely no respect for other people on the premises. The only good thing we found on the place is an excellent restaurant (Red Oak) where we got good service and good food. It is run by private owners and you can clearly see that. I would easily drive far out of my way next time to stop here again, but the Lodge will never see me again for accommodation.

Skokkend. Wanneer 'n plek my vra om negatiewe kommentaar vir hulle te stuur eerder as aanlyn te pos, is ek reeds bekommerd. Ek doen resensies nie vir die eienaar nie, maar juis vir mede-reisigers. Ons het in Blok A gebly, so dit gaan nie oor die hele plek nie, maar oor die spesifieke blok - ek weet daar is ander akkommodasie ook wat beslis beter is. Met aankoms moes ons die sleutel nie by ontvangs kry nie, maar in 'n afgeleefde sleutelboks wat teen 'n muur sit by die hek. Dit sou seker nog ok gewees het, maar die gras hier was kniehoogte en ek moes tussen die gras deur vir die sleutel. Ek het geen idee wat sou gebeur as dit gereën het nie - dit is regtig net teen 'n muur met geen dak oor en bos gras vir 'n vloer. Daar is dus geen verwelkoming of kennismaking met die gasheer nie. Ek vind dit baie vreemd. Die parkering is ver van die kamer en alles wat jy nodig het, moet oor die afstand aangedra word terwyl daar parkering reg voor die plek is. Hek C waar jy moet in het egter tralies sodat jy nie tot voor die plek kan ry nie. Buite het daar wasgoed rondgehang en dit het amper voorgekom soos 'n studente- of kontrakteursverblyfplek. Die advertensie het nie dit genoem nie. Waar die wild is wat in die naam is, is daar geen sprake nie of dit is een groot geheim waar hulle beweeg. Ek kon nie enige area sien wat sou geskik wees om wild aan te hou nie. Die naam moet dus eerder Hostel gewees het - dit is net 'n klomp woonstelblokke. Die kamer waarin ons gebly het, is A15. Met die eerste oogopslag is die kamer ruim genoeg vir twee mense vir een nag. Die probleem hier was die badkamer - ek weet nie wanneer laas die eienaar daar in was nie. Die dak het een groot waterlek en dit is al so lank daar dat daar swart muf welig in die dak lewe. Dit het al 'n gat in geval en is definitief 'n gesondheidsgevaar. Ons het nie eers die bad of stort gebruik nie, want dit het net te vuil gevoel. Die een handdoek wat op die bed gelos is vir ons, is nie eers die beskrywing vloerlap werd nie. Dit is uitgwas en uitgerafel - ek kan nie verstaan hoe jy so iets vir enige mens vir gebruik los nie. Die bed is groot, maar baie ongemaklik en het sy dae gehad. Dan die groot probleem - daar was heel aand mense in die plek wat lanks mekaar staan, maar so hard gesels dat jy dit in die stad sal kan hoor. Toe om 2-uur die nag breek alle hel los met mense wat lag, skree en gesels sodat daar niks geslaap kon word vir ten minste 'n uur nie. Dit is duidelik dat hulle van 'n drinkplek af gekom het en het absoluut geen respek vir ander mense op perseel nie. Die enigste goeie ding wat ons op die plek gekry het, is 'n uitstekende restaurant (Red Oak) waar ons goeie diens en goeie kos gekry het. Dit word deur privaat eienaars bestuur en jy kan dit duidelik sien. Ek sal maklik volgende keer ver uit my pad ry om weer hier aan te doen, maar die Lodge sien my nooit weer vir akkommodasie nie.

Comfortable. There was no personal contact with the hostess/host. They did provide good directions and information. The gate remote's battery was dead. Had trouble opening the gate.

Gerieflik. Daar was geen persoonlike kontak met die gasvrou/gasheer nie. Hulle het wel goeie aanduidings en inligting verskaf. Die hek remote se battery was pap. Gesukkel om die hek oop te maak.

No hot water and the advertisement is false. It's a real shame that our stay wasn't what we had hoped for. We had no hot water (and yes, we waited), but 5 boilers later and no hot water I don't think is acceptable. Furthermore, the advert says there is an iron which I would have liked to use to iron my dress that came out of a suitcase, but it wasn't there. The tile on the bedside table was broken, replace or remove it. No teaspoons and only 1 wine glass. All in all, not worth the money at all.

Geen warm water en advertensie is vals. Dis regtig jammer dat ons verblyf nie was wat ons gehoop het nie. Ons het geen warm water gehad (en ja, ons het gewag), maar 5 ketels later en geen warm water dink ek nie is aanvaarbaar nie. Verder sê die advertensie daar is 'n strykyster wat ek graag wou gebruik om my rok wat uit 'n tas gekom het te stryk, maar dit was nie daar nie. Die teël op die bedkassie was stukkend, vervang of neem dit weg. Geen teelepels en slegs 1 wynglas. All in all, glad nie die geld werd nie.

Neat, safe and quiet. We had a great stay and were surprised that the cleaning of the unit was also included. The little fridge started to make a bit of noise after the second night and you might want to look at that, but it didn't bother us. Something that just happens. Bed slept well and was neatly made.

Netjies veilig en rustig. Ons het baie lekker gebly en was verras dat die skoonmaak van die eenheid ook ingesluit is. Die yskassie het bietjie begin raas na die tweede aand en julle kan dalk daarna kyk, maar dit het ons nie gepla nie. Iets wat maar gebeur. Bed het lekker geslaap en was netjies opgemaak.
