Service was excellent. The manager helped us very nicely even though our function was delayed. We were unable to attend breakfast so a take away meal was ready in our rooms. Rooms are neat and clean. Would just appreciate milk in the fridge and WiFi was poor in the room. Recommend the guest house.

Onderskeiding! Stil en rustige omgewing, ruim kamers, 3-4-6-8 bedkamers, veilige afgemerkte parkering met dieselfde naam as die eenheid, bv. olifant of luiperd. Die sleutels van die eenheid het ook 'n afstandsbeheerde drukskeutel om die toegangshek oop en toe te maak vir voertuie.

Distinction! Quiet and peaceful surroundings, spacious rooms, 3-4-6-8 bed rooms, secure marked parking with the same name as the unit, e.g. elephant or leopard. The keys to the unit also have a remote-controlled push button to open and close the entrance gate for vehicles.
The planning, design and landscape architecture of Aark Guest Lodge and the yard has been professionally done and finished. The impression I got of its construction and probable partial additions was to me the equivalent of aircraft construction protocol. Variety of elongated slender flagpole type trees occur on the site, e.g. Yuka elongated palm species, possible White Stinkwood and other types of trees towered high above the roofs. Coupled with this is the wooden platform walking surfaces at first floor level with varnished split post handrails, this caught my imagination and immediately took my mind to the wooden construction railway bridge "The Bridge on the River Kwai". The dining hall had marine elements present, such as the blue and white stripes on the chairs the white and black clothing of the waitresses, wide wooden framed windows and when I sat at the breakfast table looking out at the pool it felt like breakfast on a boat's deck Breakfast was standard with fruit drinks, fruit salad, coffee, tea, cereal and other cereal products with milk and then the main breakfast course which one could choose from a menu. The suburb of Aark Guest Lodge is SE3 (South East 3) and close to Vaal River. It was lovely to walk early in the morning in the neighborhood's streets such as Olive, Poplar, Beefwood, Koorsboom and Groendoringstraat, among other walkers and joggers. The streets are quiet and mainly restricted to the suburb's residents and consist of single-lanes, cul-de-sacs and T-junctions.

We had a lovely stay and it is really value for money and appreciated that they put me and my children's rooms next to each other. I just recommend that they maybe put electric blankets on the beds in the winter and also maybe make provision if a guest is late for dinner. Other than that, I had a very nice stay and will stay there again.

Hallo,
Baie jammer daar oor maar ons het 24 uur diens en jy kon net geskakel het dan sou ons julle kom wys het hoe werk dit.
Alles is in werkende toestand daar was dalk net iets wat jy nie reg gedoen het nie maar ons sou kon help.
En met ons vreeslike mooi bebosde tuin is daar maar altyd n ou onwelkome gas in van die kamers.
Ek verseker jou ons maak ons kamers elke dag baie mooi skoon, soos jy kon sien.
Ek het ook nerens n boodskap gekry dat jy n Jacuzzi gevra het nie.
Wil julle graag weer nooi vir n aand as julle die kant toe kom.
Skakel gerus.
Lekker naweek
