Didn't receive what I paid for at all. Disappointed.

My reservation was not received by the staff at the lodge. So they didn't expect us. The room I booked was under construction (grass roof leaking). The room we were then offered was not made up and we had to wait half an hour for the room to be made up. However, the staff did their best to help us. they were friendly and helpful. the fault is not with the lodge's staff. It was a booking error. (and not at all as neat as in the Photos).

The location is great.

We came on a very busy weekend and could only book the Standard room. We were told that the luxury are much better. Nothing wrong with the standard but the mattresses do not offer the best comfort though!

Comfortable with a very nice view.

The lodge is a neat facility in a very beautiful setting. The room was slightly disappointing, with the floor not being very clean, the air conditioning not working, and, a big impact item, the toilet paper being almost transparently thin.

Die plek is nie die prys werd nie, vir veel goedkoper sal ek weer hier bly, maar teen die prys is daar baie beter plekke.

Die verblyf is skoon en netjies, maar vir die tarief verwag mens darem WiFi wat werk, 'n mat op die vloer en 'n stoel in die kamer. Die gemengde messe en vurke en borde wys ook dat daar nie aandag aan detail gegee word nie. Selfs die DStv-pakket pas nie by die prysklas nie.

The place is not worth the price, for much cheaper I will stay here again, but at the price there are much better places.

The accommodation is clean and tidy, but for the rate you expect working WiFi, a carpet on the floor and a chair in the room. The mixed knives and forks and plates also show that no attention is paid to detail. Even the DStv package does not fit the price range.

Die personeel was baie vriendelik, maar die eenhede kort beslis 'n goeie skoonmaak, gogga-beheer en 'n beter verwelkoming.

Om die bedlampies te kan gebruik moet mens hulle self inprop teen die muur, maar eers die groot swaar hemelbed van die muur af weg skuif. Die vrieskassie was af, alhoewel hulle geweet het ons kom, so ons kon eers ons vleis, koeldrank en melk die volgende oggend uit die koelerboks pak. Voor ons vriende die volgende dag opgedaag het, moes ek self die skoonmaak meisie wys hoe om al die spinnerakke teen die badkamerplafonne te verwyder. Die eetgerei was vuil. Die vensters, gordyne en binne-in die kaste is ook stowwerig en vol spinnerakke. Ons badkamer het nie 'n toiletrol houer nie en net een toilet rol vir die hele naweek. Geen skottelgoed seep of waslappie beskikbaar nie en net een teelepel. Die lugverkoeler werk net vir die leefvertrek wat die kamer taamlik bedompig laat. Ek het verskeie kere gevra vir die sleutel om die deur wat die slaapkamer met die stoep verbind oop te sluit, maar is ongelukkig nog steeds gesluit. Ons vriende het net een nag oorgeslaap maar dieselfde prys as ons (vir 2 nagte) betaal.

The staff was very friendly, but the units definitely need a good cleaning, bug control and a better welcome.

To be able to use the bedside lamps, you have to plug them into the wall yourself, but first move the large, heavy four-poster bed away from the wall. The freezer was off, although they knew we were coming, so we could only get our meat, soda and milk out of the cooler box the next morning. Before our friends arrived the next day, I had to show the cleaning girl myself how to remove all the cobwebs from the bathroom ceilings. The cutlery was dirty. The windows, curtains and inside the cupboards are also dusty and full of cobwebs. Our bathroom does not have a toilet roll holder and only one toilet roll for the whole weekend. No dish soap or washcloth available and only one teaspoon. The air conditioner only works for the living room which leaves the room quite stuffy. I asked several times for the key to unlock the door connecting the bedroom to the porch, but unfortunately it was still locked. Our friends only stayed one night but paid the same price as us (for 2 nights).

Heerlike pragtige verblyf.

Ons tydjie by African Rest Lodge was besonders lekker. Heerlike gebly, geëet en personeel was baie behulpsaam. Die omgewing is pragtig en die swembaddens was 'n lekker afkoel na 'n warm dag. Kan beslis aanbeveel.

Great place to relax.

Great place to unwind, value for money. The manager went out of his way with professionalism to assist us. The establishment has two beautiful pools with great views to choose from, a restaurant to eat from if you don't feel like cooking, a nice covered braai area. The self catering accommodation was spacious, clean and well equipped (I suggest to add a table with chairs in the private patio).

Indien hul 'n fout maak met jou bespreking dan betaal hul jou nie terug nie. Teleustellend!

African Rest Lodge skuld my geld, nog glad nie terugbetaal nie en hul het die fout gemaak met my bespreking.

If they make a mistake with your booking then they will not refund you. Disappointing!

African Rest Lodge owes me money, has not paid back at all and they made the mistake with my booking.

African Rest Lodge 's response

Middag Sanet.
Baie dankie vir die resensie. Soos telefonies bespreek was daar geen fout van African Rest se kant af met jou bespreking nie. Ons het jou kwoteer op die eenhede wat jy versoek het.
LekkeSlaap het geen korrespondensie ontvang van u rakende die fout wat u gemaak het met die bespreking nie.
Graag versoek ek dat u hulle kontak, rakende die korrespondensie wat u met hulle het.
Soos ons bespreek het, sou u vir my 'n epos stuur met die papierwerk wat u aan hulle gestuur het maar ek het niks ontvang nie.
U is welkom om ons te kontak as u enige verdere inligting benodig.

Gemiddeld ten beste.

African Rest Lodge het die bespreking verkeerd gekry. Spesifiek versoek vir twee aparte kamers met lugversorging. Het selfs geskakel om te bevestig. 19:00 daar aangekom toe is daar net een kamer beskikbaar. Ontvangs het gevra dat ons solank iets gaan eet terwyl hulle dit probeer uitsorteer. Teen 20:30 met 'n gesukkel is twee kamers gegee sonder lugversorging. Aangedring op lugversorging en is weer geskuif na ander selfsorgeenheid en moes toe 'n kamer deel. Baie ongerieflike situasie. Yskas was ook af so kon nie eers 'n koue water insit nie. Regtig 'n teleurstelling.

Average at best.

African Rest Lodge got the booking wrong. Specifically request for two separate rooms with air conditioning. Even called to confirm. When we got there at 19:00 there was only one room available. Reception asked us to have something to eat while they tried to sort it out. By 20:30 with a struggle two rooms were given without air conditioning. Insisted on air conditioning and was again moved to another self-catering unit and then had to share a room. Very inconvenient situation. Fridge was also off so couldn't even put in a cold water. Really a disappointment.

Was aanvaarbaar onder omstandighede.

Die feit dat die restaurant net onbyt op bestelling kan bedien en geen ander etes nie was 'n problem. My verstaan van inligting beskikbaar was anders en ons het nie voorsiening gemaak vir aandete nie. Al die deure in die eenheid kon nie sluit nie en die eenheid aangebied was anders as die eenheid wat ons bespreek het. Die ligging is swak met geen ander geriewe in die onmiddelike omgewing nie.

Was acceptable under the circumstances.

The fact that the restaurant can only serve breakfast to order and no other meals was a problem. My understanding of information available was different and we did not provide for dinner. All the doors in the unit could not lock and the unit offered was different from the unit we booked. The location is poor with no other amenities in the immediate area.
