Free State surprise.
We were pleasantly surprised with our stay at Aldam. Very friendly reception. Clean and tidy rondavel with the most beautiful view over the dam. The restaurant and its staff were very friendly and their service was great! The caravan park's cleanliness impressed us and is a camper's dream. We will definitely visit Aldam again.

It was so much fun - was sorry to drive again next morning.
There was a power and water problem, but I was made aware of it early on. Reception - good. There was 65l of water outside and inside the unit. Management came to inquire about cell phone charging and brought a portable light for use. Even though we were the only guests, we were able to get dinner at the restaurant. Great service!

Comfortable, clean and tidy.
It's just a shame that Aldam can't be renovated more. Everything is clean and tidy, but a lot of maintenance work is needed - such as repainting the information boards, tennis courts etc. Towels and bed linen are old and frayed. The view is beautiful over the dam, the shop is good and the chalets are clean and tidy. It's lovely for a short break.

Nie oor die 30 tot 1ste nie. Jong klomp suip soos visse, matrieks en eerstejaars het tussen hulle gesit as 'n gesin met twee kinders. Dit was mal gewees, geen respek en jy vrees vir jou kinders se lewe met die klomp wat so suip en rondjaag in die kamp area.

I was already home the 1st. Couldn't take it anymore.

Translate to English.
"Old School" Accommodation.
Reception and customer service were excellent. However, the two-bedroom "luxury" unit needed attention. It might have been described as luxury quite a few years ago, as there are clear signs of lack of maintenance - tap heads coming loose and muddy water initially coming out of the taps. The general impression of the resort is that it could do with basic maintenance. The beds were comfortable and basic amenities were adequate. A bonus of the unit in question (#20) was the view over the dam and it was within walking distance of the restaurant. The on-site shop provides basic necessities. The resort is ideal for accommodation when considering a visit to the Willem Pretorius reserve. However, the rate for the specific unit is not in line with other more luxurious self-catering options in the same category.

Staff very friendly. Accommodation clean and tidy. I just find the security insensitive. It was difficult for me to sleep at night because there were no burglar bars in front of the windows. It's hot and I couldn't leave the windows open at night. Food at the restaurant is great. . No complaints. Can really recommend.

Very nice and relaxing time with family.
We were very disappointed in the general appearance and maintenance of the unit we stayed in. Everything there was just terribly outdated. The bathrooms will definitely need to be upgraded and the furniture replaced. The kitchen was surprisingly well equipped. We had a lovely stay but it was not up to the same standard as we were used to with them in the past. The Putt-Putt course really needs revision and the red ants also bit us while we were playing.

Pleasant, but resort needs attention.
Our stay over the Easter weekend was comfortable, but our standard accommodation needs attention. The unit was clean, but old fashioned as in photos. Fridge was old and didn't seal properly, microwave stained. The water was brown. Although the buildings on the resort needed renovation, the grounds were clean and relatively well cared for. The restaurant and small shop provided good service. We were comfortable, but for the price, I don't feel the accommodation was up to standard.

Aldam Holiday Resort and Conference 's response
Thank you for your comments, we always apricate any feedback. Like the rest of the country, we have struggled with the effects of load shedding. This means our pool does not have sufficient time to circulate the 1.2 million liters of water. We have corrected the pool and we will look at alternative options to overcome this problem.
I will investigate and correct your other concerns to ensure the guest satisfaction we strive for.
Kind Regards
Aldam Management.
