Our place of residence was dirty.
We have stayed at Bains Lodge before. The visit was a disappointment. Our accommodation, no. 19, was so dirty that I asked for another cottage. The place was just so dirty. In the evening, the receptionist brought clean linen for the beds as well as clean towels. We also had to get security to look after our boat and vehicle as there were a lot of vagrants on site all night. No control over access at the gate.

Not comparable to other accommodations of that price range.
Reception couldn't find our key, not the worst, but it caused us to wait a while in reception. Road to chalet was very bad and was not so indicated at reception. The chalet is starting to look dilapidated, lacks maintenance. Neat and clean but DSTV and WIFI didn't work, someone came out to check but still only worked on and off. Pool is green and looks like a pond. In summary it just seems poorly maintained and not nearly comparable to other accommodations we've stayed in in that price range.

No air conditioning in the rooms. The air conditioning in the living area is not cold enough and is very old. Rooms' doors cannot close. Shower faucets do not work properly, and are of such a nature that I could not shower my children. Either you burn or you get cold. Cigarette butts are scattered on the ground around the house. There is not even grass for children to play on at the cottage. Just dirt with thorns. I won't stay there again for sure.

Pleasantly surprised.
We were initially worried after hearing that there was a night club on the premises and that the lodge was noisy. Our cabin was away from the main lodge, newly redone with new equipment and furniture. It was clean and tidy and dead quiet. The Bushpub family restaurant is within walking distance with a supervised indoor play area. Delicious food and good service. Our overall experience was very positive.

The self-catering chalet for two people was short of certain kitchen items. Only 1 teaspoon, 1 knife, 1 large plate. The stove had not been cleaned after the previous guests. Had to ask them to come and sweep the porch which was then under the yellow flowers. Christmas morning when we entered reception we were not greeted with Christmas wishes before we did not convey Christmas wishes to reception. Thought that because of Covid that places like this would go the extra mile with their guests!

It was the perfect overnight stay from Gauteng to the Cape. We were able to arrive very late in the evening because the reception is open 24 hours. The staff is very friendly. The room is clean and the bed was very comfortable. We started our trip to Cape very early the next morning after a good night's rest and had no problems with the staff at reception. They were still as friendly as when we arrived.

The bedding was not right, and did not fit the double bed. The inside was hanging out under a piece, you could tell that the duvet was too small. The house needs attention, like paint and faucets leaking that the water runs on the floor, the shower is not clean as it should be.

Was disappointed in the cleanliness and maintenance of the unit.
My expectation was high because I had stayed there before; about 5-6 years ago. The reception and staff were good, but the room was slightly disappointing. General maintenance definitely needs a lot of attention. Bedding is indeed clean, but very old. We were doubtful about how clean the room was, there was dead spider and cockroach. Even the toilet roll had a dead "squeezed" cockroach on it. I booked for 2 nights but only stayed one. Decided to drive back to the Cape instead. I would definitely stay in a guest house in the future and would not simply recommend anyone to stay there, unless there is no other place available.

Stayed in a self-catering chalet with access control. Everything neat, comfortable and clean. Power was out from the second night, but generator provided us with power. Music from the saloon was very loud and disturbing until late. Lions Lare a convenient pub with affordable prices and good food, as well as Bush Pub but somewhat more expensive. It rained while we were there and therefor the area around the Bush Pub and log cabins almost inaccessible without a 4x4. Chalet is serviced daily and fresh towels are provided.

Bains Lodge 's response
Goeiedag Charlene,
Ek vra om verskoning dat u nie ordentlik geslaap kon kry nie. Ons probeer saamwerk met hierdie instelling om sulke probleme te vermy, maar verstaan dat ons op hierdie geleentheid nie onmiddellike oplossing kon gee nie. Ons werk hard daaraan om sulke probleme in die toekoms te vermy, en kan dit net ongelukkig doen met terugvoering vanaf gaste. Weet asseblief dat u gradering nie op dowe ore val nie, en dat as u terug sou kom na Bains Lodge, daar 'n duidelike verandering gemaak sal wees. Ek hoop om u terug te verwelkom, en dat u 'n wonderlike nag rus sal inkry.
Gasvryheid groete,
Bains Lodge.

Bains Lodge could be an option.
Slept well! Bed was good! Overall not bad but lacks maintenance - broken tiles in hallway and staircase / walls in unit have many marks / chair broken / TV very old and channels very limited. However, the room is spacious. Parking is far from the room, in our case it was raining and with two walks to the car and back we were wet. However, the room was clean and the staff were friendly when we checked in.

Good to sleep over.
It was nice to rest after a long trip, but it would have been nice to have WiFi in the log cabins and not just in the reception area of the hotel. Log cabin clean and tidy. But DStv package was disappointing and most of the channels did not work. Would have loved to swim but not sure where the pool was so I think next time I might stay in the hotel rather than the log cabins as I think it's a bit closer to als. But other than that it was a peaceful "stopover" on the way back to the Cape.

I do not recommend the standard room at all. Just the log cabins.
There is a club in the front. Our room was behind it - the "aircon" of club was roaring and there were also people moving around during the night.

Bains Lodge 's response
Goeie dag Altesia,
Ek vra groot onverskoning dat u nie die verblyf ten volle geniet het nie. Ons het ander standaard kamers wat verder van die geraas af is, maar was ongelukkig reeds vol bespreek. In so geval, as ons gaste ontevrede is, skuif ons altyd na 'n ander kamer toe. Ek is jammer as dit nie met u gebeur het nie. Ons hout huisies word een vir een opgegradeer en heeltemal oor gedoen. Ek is baie bly as u hulle as beter ervaar het. Ons streef om ons gaste tevrede te stel, en hoop dat u weer ons n kans sal gee om u standpunt te verander.
Vriendelike groete,
Bains Lodge

Value for money.
Unfortunately our room was right next to the pub and it was very noisy and the grounds right next to our room were not tidy. Other than that it was a good location and good value for money.

Not at all what we expected.
Positive: Close to highway, friendly service, reasonable room. Negatives: Only wildlife seen was of the statue type, rooms reeked of smoke, and might as well have been in city center block of flats. Site constantly busy with cars and people, and bypass noisy. DStv is a joke and I'm still looking for WiFi. Neutral: Bar restaurant has good atmosphere and good food, but nothing different from any other bar. Some of the so-called wooden cabins that must be on site (according to site layout in room) have already been replaced with 'townhouses'. Not at all what we expected to get.

Looks as if they are renovating Bains Lodge and it is high time because the "log cabins" are neglected. Nice stay in number 6, but the other log cabins reeked of smoke and the curtains were not in working order.

The log cabins are just plain dirty.
The log cabins are really old and tired. They are in a very bad condition. When I found a dirty knife in the drawer after I'd found a dirty mug and the kitchen sink didn't have hot water, I was done. The fridge froze our food. The shower's hot water tap falls off. The floor is sticky beneath your feet. The coffee isn't coffee but Ricoffy and Frisco - your choice of chicory. The bush pub's music is deafening. My bedroom had a curtain on the bed and I had to hang it up myself. Bains Lodge has wild hadedas and angry ex guests. No, never again, thank you.

We slept in no 1. which was at the cleaning staff's tea room, so from very early on they make noise. I've also looked into garbage cans when I walk out the door. Staff literally hang over bins and stare at you when you unlock your door.

The overnight experience was extremely unpleasant.
I am referring to a reservation made for my parents, who traveled from Cape Town to attend a family funeral, on 30 June 2016. Although the guest room was very comfortable and clean, the bar had unbearably loud music from 10pm in the evening made to 4:00 a.m. the next morning. Needless to say, there was no rest or sleep at all. They informed reception about the loud noise on several occasions throughout the night. Apparently, the person on duty asked the bartender to turn the music down but his request was ignored. In the end, the SAP was contacted to file a complaint of rest disturbance. The overnight experience was extremely unpleasant to say the least. We request that the overnight charges be refunded because we are very disappointed with the experience. We have also not been contacted by Bains Gastehuis or given feedback regarding our request.

I will never sleep there again in my life.
We drove from Bloubergstrand, and needed a rest. It was a big mistake to sleep here. We were kept awake until 03:00 Sunday morning with people screaming, cars speeding and music playing from cars. We asked to be moved because we have an 11 week old baby, but the reception just let us know that it will be even more noisy in their other rooms. Thank you to LekkeSlaap for your good service and support. Furthermore, the room felt dirty, you don't want to touch anything, because then your hands feel dirty. Unfortunately I cannot recommend to anyone.
