Perfect overnight stay. We stopped over on route from KZN to and from CT. The location is easy to find. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with everything you need. The gardens and pool are a great addition on a hot day. Highly recommended!

Apart from not enough sleeping space, we had a nice stay. We had 2 reservations. December 20th was perfect for our family of 4 (kids 17 & 2) But with our reservation for January 2nd, the website messed up our reservation and gave us room for 3 people, not 4. The owner Jaco was kind enough to give us a mattress for our 2 year old. Jaco contacted the website about their mistake, but we were not contacted.

Behalwe vir te min slaapplek, het ons lekker gebly. Ons het 2 besprekings gehad. 20 Desember sin was perfek vir ons gesin van 4 (kinders 17 & 2) Maar met ons bespreking van 2 Januarie het die webtuiste ons bespreking opgemors en vir ons plek gegee vir 3 mense, nie 4 nie. Die eienaar Jaco was so gaaf om vir ons n matras te gee vir ons 2 jarige. Jaco het die webtuiste gekontak oor hulle fout, maar ons is nie gekontak nie.

Perfect place for the right moment. So satisfied, and such a nice stay.

Perfekte plekkie vir die regte oomblik. So tevrede, en so lekker gebly.

Very nice, will go back again. We had a great time, the air conditioning could be a little colder, but it's really a very nice place and Jaco, who helped us, was very nice and helpful.

Baie lekker, sal weer teruggaan. Ons het baie lekker gebrui, die aircon kan dalk bietjie kouer maak, maar dis regtig 'n baie lekker plek en Jaco wat ons gehelp het, was baie gaaf en behulpsaam.

Great, clean lodge - works well for a sleepover. The room was very spacious, with air conditioning, which is very important for those parts of the country. Very clean rooms and had all essentials. Jaco was very helpful and friendly. The pool could do with a bit of cleaning, and the pool paint is a bit slippery, but altogether not too bad. Breakfast would be great for the rate one pays, but I understand it's a sleepover region. Overall, a great place for a sleepover between DBN/JHB and CPT/PE etc.

Beautiful, quiet and peaceful. Had a very nice stay, it was quiet and peaceful. Also close to Gariep Dam's shops, restaurants and bridge with locks.

Mooi, stil en rustig. Het baie lekker gebly, dit was stil en rustig gewees. Is ook naby aan Gariepdam se winkels, restaurante en brug met sluise.

Sleep well. Very convenient for sleeping over with small children.

Lekker geslaap. Baie gerieflik vir oorslaap met klein kinders.
