Beautiful surroundings.

Unbelievably beautiful surrounding. The dirt road leading to the resort takes time but is doable without a 4x4 and well worth the trip.

Didn't sleep there, not tidy, felt unsafe no fridge, no plates, knives forks cups, would help if it was put on the ad that there is nothing of the kind.

Grass is very long and pond is hard to get to, disappointed in the place would not recommend.

Was ideaal as 'n oornagstop maar die fasiliteite maak ook verskeie ander funksies moontlik. Maar heelwat opknapping en instandhouding sal nodig wees.

Soos bo genoem.

Was ideal as an overnight stop but the facilities also enable various other functions. But a lot of renovation and maintenance will be needed.

As mentioned above.

Great setting, unique accommodation.

Stay in thatched chalets with a grand view across the lake to the mountain. Totally isolated and so peaceful once you are there, great value, friendly owner. There are downsides, however. It's 20 km down a gravel road. The resort has seen better days and is in need of some renovation. But this apart, it's great.

Dit is 100% veilig en ek was met respek behandel.

Moeite word voor af gereël en bepaln vir jou. Neels gaan uit sy pad om seker te maak dat jy nie verdwaal nie. Net die respek en vooraf beplande gemaklikheid kry alklaar vyf sterre. Mens kan kuier, visvang en braai. Baie lekker plek.

Efforts are arranged and determined for you in advance. Neels goes out of his way to make sure you don't get lost. Only the respect and pre-planned comfort all get five stars. One can visit, fish and barbecue. Very nice place.

Not impressed.

Old and not maintained at all.

Awimaweh Resort 's response

Die vissersmans huisies is baie basiese akkommodasie teenaan die water. Dit is geskik vir vissermanne en mense wat meer van kamp hou. Baie mense kies hulle omdat dit goedkoop is. Die chalets is verseker baie beter.
Die spesifieke dag wat Ronelle daar was het die wind verskriklik gewaai en dit was regtig onplesierig. Hulle kon nie die pragtige natuur geniet nie en moes bly in die rondawel, wat natuurlik nou nie so gerieflik is nie.
Ons chalets, tuine, ons onthaal en uitsigte is onvergelykbaar in die Vrystaat en ek en die meeste mense dink ook so. Ons beplan 'n Gholflandgoed en Welstandsentrum en om Awimaweh een van die beste wegbreek plekke en leefstyl akkommodasie instansie te maak.
Ek bied my verskoning aan Ronelle dat hulle ondervinding minder aangenaam was en ek glo hulle was nie by die hoofgebou om te besigtig wat dit bied nie.

Baie slegte pad! Rondawels is vuil en verniel.

Ons het besluit om na die tweede aand te trek weens die slegte pad en omstandighede. Eienaar het my gesê al trek ons soek hy steeds sy geld vir die ander twee aande.

Very bad road! Rondavels are dirty and ruined.

We decided to move after the second night due to the bad road and conditions. Owner told me that even if we move he is still looking for his money for the other two nights.

Ongelukkig het die mense bespreek en kon nie besigheid as makelaars gedoen kry nie. Ek wens hulle sterkte toe met hulle onderneming vorentoe. Ek het hulle nie gevra dat hulle moet betaal vir die 2 aande wat hulle nie geslaap het nie net die R120 uitstaande vir die aande wat hulle wel geslaap het. Dit lyk nie of hulle in staat is om die R120 te betaal nie en dis jammer dat hulle in die plek daarvan die negatiewe oorsig oor Awimaweh moes kwyt raak. Sterkte.

Stilte en vrede weg van die stad se geraas.

Lieflike plek met stilte en oop ruimtes! Het heerlik gerus. Plek het ongelooflik baie potensiaal en goeie fasiliteite, maar instandhouding kort aandag. Restaurant is tans glad nie in werkende toestand nie. Steeds het ons heerlik gekuier!

Unbelievable place to relax.

What a beautiful place. The hills surrounding the dam was an awesome sight and we all had a great time. We did not really use the other facilities on the premises, just relaxed at the 2 fishing houses we rented. Plans are already being made for a follow up visit. I will definitely give this place a thumbs up.

It is a beautiful area and a peaceful environment. Unfortunately, it is just neglected.

There is a well-well court and chess set that is just very neglected. The place has a lot of potential. The houses are beautiful, but also not well maintained. We would love to go again, but would recommend just a little renovation. We never met our host/wife and had to settle our bill with the bartender. There was no one at reception.

Very nice view but accommodation very basic.

I would not mind visiting Awimaweh again because the nature is beautiful and it is very peaceful. The cost was low but I'm afraid the house was run down, the shower head so low that only my 7 year old could fit under there and there was a spider in every corner of the house.

Disappointed. Not quite what I expected.

The resort is undergoing renovation. Does not project a good image. Not worth it for the price I had to pay as it was also much more than originally advertised.

Restful.

The activities advertised on the website do not currently apply to the resort. There were no canoes we could rent, and no horseback riding activities either. The pedal boats are also broken. The restaurant is also not in operation. It must have been a beautiful place, in earlier years.

Dit was absoluut onaanvaarbaar.

Ek kan nie kla oor die diens nie, want daar was absoluut geen diens nie. Die beddegoed was nie vervang na vorige gaste uit is nie, inteendeel was ons beddegoed in die 11 dae wat ons daar was glad nie omgeruil nie. Met ons aankoms was die opsigter/bestuurder dronk en ook so vir die volgende twee dae. Daarna was hy vervang met iemand anders wat ook nie veel gehelp het nie. Nie een van ons plekke was enigsins uitgevee of skoongemaak nie, ek moes self gaan vra vir toiletpapier. Ek is nie bereid om die volle bedrag uitstaande te betaal vir die swak diens nie. Ek is seker julle sal ook hoor van die mense wat in nr. 3, 4 en 5 gebly het, of as julle nie my glo nie kontak hulle gerus.

This was absolutely unacceptable.

I can't complain about the service because there was absolutely no service. The bedding was not replaced after previous guests left, on the contrary our bedding was not changed at all in the 11 days we were there. When we arrived the caretaker/manager was drunk and so for the next two days. After that he was replaced with someone else who didn't help much either. None of our places were swept or cleaned at all, I had to go and ask for toilet paper myself. I am not willing to pay the full amount outstanding for the poor service. I am sure you will also hear from the people who are in no. 3, 4 and 5 stayed, or if you don't believe me feel free to contact them.

Goeie dag
Die klient was alleen in 'n chalet. Volgens ons bestuurder het die klient ons werker weggewys toe hy die lakens wou oortrek. Ons bestuurder het ook die kliënt versoek om op die ander skoon bed te slaap. Die persoon wat hy na verwys was nie onder die invloed nie, hy het 'n suikersiekte-verwante probleem gehad maar is die volgende dag vervang deur 'n baie bekwame persone. Ek dink dit was eerder 'n geval dat die kliënt nie wou betaal nie want ons het hom van dag een af versoek om te betaal. Ons verseker ons beste diens. Groetnis Neels

Cute place.

Nice place with a view, "cute" houses but the finish is sloppy and many windows do not open so it is very hot in the attic at night. There is no soap in the bathroom. It requires attention to small detail.

We only stayed the night and left early again.

For the price we paid per person, we expected only the basic amenities inside the cottages. What bothers, however, is the poor maintenance that is done on the buildings. The fisherman's chalets are actually bulwark light. The list to substantiate my statement is long, but I will suffice with one example. The water pipes and geysers leaked badly, given the shortage of water in the Free State this is inexcusable. We have often made reservations through LekkeSlaap and have always been very satisfied, but unfortunately Awimaweh was not one of our better experiences.
