Beautiful place and nice people. We just stayed overnight from the Cape, nice clean unit and the most delicious food he ate in the restaurant.

Mooi plek en gawe mense. Ons het net oornag van die Kaap af, mooi skoon eenheid en die lekkerste kos hy die restaurant geët.

Awesome. The stay at Waschbank was out of this world. It was very nice! The manager is also very friendly and she also assisted me to surprise my wife with something special! Would highly recommend Waschbank River Lodge.

Quick overnight stay at an absolute oasis! The rooms are very neat and clean, the restaurant's meals and service are fantastic, and the location is perfect for an overnight or longer stay.

Vinnige oornag by 'n absolute oase! Die kamers is baie netjies en skoon, die restaurant se etes en diens fantasties, en die ligging is perfek vir 'n oornag of langer kuier.

Beautiful peaceful overnight stay. We were warmly welcomed by the very friendly staff. Absolutely beautiful scenery, very peaceful and relaxing environment with the large deck overlooking the Orange River. We enjoyed our dinner and breakfast. We will definitely stay here again.

As above. Excellent lodge with friendly staff and ideal location on the Orange River.

Soos bo. Uitstekende lodge met vriendelike personeel en ideale ligging op die Oranje Rivier.

Oasis after a long journey. The perfect place to rest after a long drive. Everything was great. Wish we could have stayed longer. (PS Get a gate code before you get to the gate, there is no reception at the gate).

Oase na 'n lang pad. Die perfekte plek vir rus na 'n lang pad. Alles was puik. Wens ons kon langer bly. (PS Kry 'n hekkode voor jy by die hek kom, daar is nie opvangs by die hek nie).

Beautiful stop with great service. We broke up our long journey from Johannesburg to the Cederberg by stopping along the way. This was a lovely stop that I suspect deserved a couple of extra nights. The sunset over the river was beautiful. The breakfast included was fab, and we enjoyed our dinner too.

Peaceful Orange River bank accommodation. Waschbank was on our bucket list! Peaceful atmosphere along the banks of the Orange River. Neat and comfortable accommodation. Dinner at the restaurant at sunset was special. Thank you Waschbank!

Rustige Oranje rivier oewer verblyf. Waschbank was op ons emmerskop lysie! Rustige atmosfeer langs die Oranje rivier se oewer. Verblyf netjies en gerieflik. Ete by restaurant teen sononder was spesiaal. Dankie Waschbank!
