"Douglas may not be a travel destination, but it is a very useful place to stop over at en route to the Kgalagadi etc."
"Although I'm not a native of Douglas or the Northern Cape, I felt like I belonged. The Landzicht wine cellar is worth a visit. Their wines are of the highest quality and their various awards speak of it."
"A typical small town where people are still friendly, courteous and helpful to strangers. One of the few remaining small towns where the streets are still motorable."
"Dit is 'n ideale oorslaap vir 'n lang reis. Lokale mense is baie gasvry."
"Vriendelike mense. Teerpaaie in die dorp bestaan bykans nie. Vreeslik baie slaggate - lyk regtig sleg."
"Ook net 'n oorslaap op my lang roete - ek het so vinnige rit deur die dorpie se state gehad, dit lyk of die mense trots is op hulle dorpie. Ek is ook deur 'n vinnige polisie-stop met die inkomslag en ook met die uitgaan, wat my laat dink hulle kyk graag na hulle mense en omgewing."
"Douglas is 'n mooi dorpie en gemeenskap probeer weer opbou. Fasiliteit waar riviere saamvloei kan gerus opgeknap en in stand gehou word!"
"We were only here for a night on a road trip. Don't think there is too much to do in Douglas. However, we did have a romantic glass of wine down by the river confluence. "
"We wanted to visit the confluence of the Vaal and Orange river as well as the Glacial pavements and were told by guesthouse host that both were open and freely accessible. I had previously been and was keen to show my husband. At the confluence a man demanded R20 per person as an entrance fee (later reduced to R10 per person when we queried the legitimacy of is demands) as well as R30 for the car to drive inside to park. When we asked for a receipt we were told that the book was full. At the glacial pavements there was an overgrown path and a locked gate. In both cases we did not feel safe to park our car and left very disappointed! Needs urgent attention if there is any hope of making these features a destination again."
"Het in die donker daar aangekom, kan ongelukkig nie kommentaar lewer nie."
"Lovely little town with interesting scenery and amenities. Nice stop over when traveling long distances."
"Soos so baie van die munisipaliteite in Suid-Afrika is dit hartseer om die verval in die rustige dorpie waar te neem. Daar is absoluut geen onderhoud op die paaie nie en moet mens ekstra versigtig ry."
"Die area waar die samevloeiing van die Vaal- en Oranjerivier is, was 'n teleurstelling. Verwaarloos en onnet - lyk na 'n kuier- en drinkplek oor naweke."
"Douglas is 'n aangename Noord-Kaapse dorp. Die mense is baie vriendelik en die omgewing is pragtig."
"Ons dink dit is die moeite werd om hier oor te bly om die samevloeiing van die Oranje- en Vaalriviere eerstehands te kan sien!"
