I will recommend Benson's Lodge to travellers.

Excellent. The owners were extremely nice and friendly. Warm welcome. We will be looking forward to hosting you again in the future. The best in the Lichtenburg/Coligny area!

Homely and comfortable and a very accommodating host.

The rooms are spacious and well equipped. Lovely, big bathroom with beautiful towels. Our host started a fire for us as we only arrived at 19:00 and all the crockery etc. was set out on the patio table. Extremely welcoming after a long journey.

Baie skoon, netjies en uitstekende waarde vir geld.

Ek kan regtig hierdie verblyf sonder enige voorbehoud aanbeveel. Die kamer is goed toegerus met baie gerieflike bed en 'n volgrootte yskas. Daar is allerhande gerief vir braai buite die eenhede en 'n TV. Baie netjies en skoon en ongelooflike waarde vir geld.

I can really recommend this accommodation without any reservation. The room is well equipped with a very comfortable bed and a full size fridge. There are all kinds of conveniences for braai outside the units and a TV. Very neat and clean and incredible value for money.

Goeie potensiaal.

Johan en Marina is baie gasvry en vriendelik. Hulle het reeds wonderwerke op die plaas verrig en ons het geen twyfel dat dit 'n besondere plekkie gaan word nie. Ons kamer was nie 100% skoon nie, maar ons besef dat hulle baie besig was met ander voorbereidings toe ons daar was. Ons kamer was bietjie klein en die koue, nat weer het dit vir ons moeilik gemaak om lank buite te sit. Ongelukkig is daar nie plek vir stoele in die kamer nie. Ons beveel nogtans Benson's Lodge aan. Dis 'n juweel in die omgewing en ons is seker dit gaan weldra net verbeter.

Good potential.

Johan and Marina are very hospitable and friendly. They have already performed miracles on the farm and we have no doubt that it will become a special place. Our room was not 100% clean, but we realize that they were very busy with other preparations when we were there. Our room was a bit small and the cold, wet weather made it difficult for us to sit outside for long. Unfortunately there is no room for chairs in the room. We still recommend Benson's Lodge. It's a gem in the area and we're sure it's only going to get better soon.

Teleurgesteld.

Eienaars was baie vriendelik maar ongelukkig was die kamers vuil en sonder om te oordryf, oortrek met spinnekoppe en spinnerakke, van die vloer tot teen die dak! Die een bed was skoon maar die ander kamer en bed was vol goggas en daar was spinnekoppe orals, selfs tussen die lakens. Kon sien die kamer en beddegoed was baie, baie lanklaas skoongemaak. Ons het 'n dag vooruit bespreek so daar was genoeg tyd om die kamer reg te kry vir gaste. Buite is als mooi en netjies so ons hoop eienaars sal dringend aandag gee aan die kamers.

Disappointed.

Owners were very friendly but unfortunately the rooms were dirty and without exaggeration, covered with spiders and cobwebs, from the floor to the roof! One bed was clean but the other room and bed were full of bugs and there were spiders everywhere, even between the sheets. Could see the room and bedding had not been cleaned in a very, very long time. We booked a day in advance so there was plenty of time to get the room ready for guests. The outside is all nice and tidy so we hope the owners will urgently pay attention to the rooms.

Benson's Lodge 's response

Dit spyt my werklik dat julle so voel oor julle verblyf by ons. Ek het self die oggend voor julle sou arriveer, die kamers gemop, afgestof en die beddens oorgetrek. Die spinnekoppe is met 'n verestoffer verwyder, aangesien ons hier op die plaas glo aan 'n omgewingsvriendelike benadering. So ek wil tog verskil met julle mening dat "die plek vuil" was. Daar was wel spinnerakke in die tweede kamer se hoek bo regs, soos julle aan ons uitgewys het. Ek sal beter oplet in die toekoms en ons het toe wel 'n insekbestuiwer daar gebruik. Ons is trots op ons goeie standaarde en sal in die toekoms net harder probeer.

Vriendelike diens, Netjies, Behulpsaam, Fantasties

Ons was daar as n groep mense wat ons 38jaar Skool reunie daar gevier het. Johan, een van die mede eienaars is regtig so vriendelik en behulpsaam. Hy het vir ons die lekkerste ontbyt gemaak. Hulle ontsien geen moeite om hul gaste gemaklik te maak nie. Ek sal hul met groot vrymoedigheid aangeveel.
