Vriendelike, skoon en veilige omgewing.

Ons het werklik 'n wonderlike tyd gehad. Baie behulpsaam en vriendelike diens. Baie skoon en mooi ge-equip vir enige onverwagte omstandighede soos loadshedding. Baie dankie vir 'n fantastiese tyd.

Unforgettable, safe, relaxing and enjoyable.

The lodge was beautiful and clean with everything you need to make your stay comfortable and memorable. The hostess was friendly and extremely helpful to make us feel really at home. This lodge is a real gem in this little town. I would recommend this lodge 100% and more.

Good value for money.

Reception was really very efficient. The lady went ahead of us to show where the butchery was. So, we made a braai for supper. The place was very cosy, clean and safe, and even departure was easy as we left early.

Lovely place and enjoyed the amenities of the braai and patio set.

Excellent place to stay with the most thoughtful extra touches: an essential first aid kit, rusks for our morning coffee, and salt/pepper for the braai. Great value for money and a good view from atop the hill.

Perfect except for the noisy area.

Everything was lovely, rusks, milk, even Rennies, plaster etc. in case you needed it. The only downside was its proximity to the hospital, so it was very busy and very noisy. The outside table is also rotten and warped and needs to be thrown away and replaced.

Never again!

No water was available when we got there or left the next morning!

D's Lodge 's response

Dear Guest,
Our apologies, we understand that a lack of water is very frustrating.
The water outage was caused by a municipal mains water fault lasting nearly 4 days. We do have backup water storage but the prolonged outage caused the backup tanks to run dry, leading to the outage. We are currently working on installing more backup capacity to avoid this situation in the future.
Yours sincerely
Dawn

Adequate.

The bed was very comfortable. Good hot shower and bathroom facilities. Kitchen: Tap mixer needs repair or securing. Only 1 cereal bowl. Surprisingly full DStv bouquet and a little decanter of port! And a hairdryer. No armchair or seating option other than barstools in kitchen or on the bed. Noise factor: This is my main objection that will mean no return. After a long travel, I enjoy peace and quiet. Not shown on advert are permanent residences on same property, and behind rental accommodation. Loud living: talking, laughter, baby crying, kids playing ball outside our window, music and for sure their normal living but for me uninterrupted noise all afternoon and well into the night. Sorry to complain, and of course, others may not find this an issue at all.

Netjiese plek.

Die akkommodasie is uiters netjies. Die plek is basies ingerig, maar voldoen aan selfsorg behoeftes. Die beddens was puik, wat gesorg het vir 'n goeie nagrus.

Was vriendelik ontvang. Die eenheid was netjies en daar was alles wat jy nodig het vir n aand se oorslaap. Die handdoeke op die bed was soos Olifantjies opgerol - baie spesiaal.

Loop die ekstra myl!

Ons was lekker verras! Vriendelik ontvang deur 'n hulpvaardige vrou. Met aankoms wag daar toe selfs 'n 'welcome drink'. Beste waarde vir geld nóg! Van WiFi tot 'n disprin kry jy hier. Uiters netjies en skoon. Sal dit vir enigiemand aanbeveel. Jy parkeer reg voor jou blyplekkie agter 'n hek en binne mure. Die plek lyk beter as op die foto's.

Go the extra mile!

We were pleasantly surprised! Friendly welcome by a helpful woman. On arrival there is even a 'welcome drink' waiting. Best value for money yet! From WiFi to a disprin you get here. Extremely neat and clean. Would recommend to anyone. You park right in front of your accommodation behind a gate and within walls. The place looks better than in the pictures.
