Business travel - great accommodation, food and bar expensive.

It was great, however the bar and food facilities were very expensive.

Knus en gezellig.

Bingelela is een rustig en gezellig plekje onder de bomen, de mensen zijn vriendelijk en behulpzaam, goed om weer naar terug te gaan.

'n Uitstekende oornagbestemming met briljante restaurant en onthaalgeriewe met vriendelike bestuur en personeel, maar wat bederf is deur die slaapgeriewe aan ons toegewys wat swak uitgelê is en nie vir ouer mense geskik is nie.

Die plek is maklik om te vind en die ontvangs vriendelik en professioneel. Die aanwysings na die slaapgeriewe wat ietwat onvoldoende. Die slaap rondawel (Nr.10) was skoon en netjies. Dit is egter vreemd ingerig met 'n trap wat na die bedvlak boontoe lei. Die badkamer is onder, asook die sitkamerarea en TV. Klein, maar heeltemaal goed vir die doel om te oornag. Die volgende is opgemerk: Badkamer en toilet onder met bed bo in nie ideaal nie, veral vir ouer mense. Ek is 71 jaar oud en my eggenote 69. Ek loop dikwels met 'n kierie. Die trap was 'n probleem - soveel so dat my vrou op die rusbank geslaap het. Die trap is is nie stewig en die relings baie laag. Trappe is steil en is nie eweredig nie met openings tussenin. My vrou ly aan hoogtevrees en kon nie die trap aandurf na 'n eerste probeerslag nie. Die reling aan die voet van die bed bo is te laag en naby die voetenent van die bed. Die vloer is ook ongelyk. Die relinghoogte is tussen knie en heuphoogte. Die kans vir oor val is groot - veral snags. Yskas is bo en ketel onder - dit maak nie sin. Ek stel voor dat die yskas onder geplaas word met 'n rak bo-oor vir die ketel en ander goedere. Die koppies en glase in 'n regop kassie op die in die hoek. Daar is geen rak om enige toiletware uit te pak in die badkamer nie. Wasbakprop se seel was afwesig. Ek vermoed dat die uitleg gefaal het as gevolg van die Jaccuzzi onder die trap wat die plek opgeneem het. Met respek wil ek noem dat die Jaccuzzi in my opinie heeltemaal oorbodig is in hierdie opset. Die restaurant en onspanningsarea is egter 'n heel ander storie. Dit is baie goed ingerig met al die nodige fasilliteite en skep 'n regte rustige vakansieatmosfeer. Die personeel was uiters bedagsaam en vriendelik en die musiek in my smaak - rustig. Aandete en ontbyt is flink bedien en was goed voorberei en smaaklik. Veral die vetkoekies met ontbyt was 'n aangename verrassing en heerlik. Ons sal maklik weer daar oornag op voorwaarde dat ons op grondvloer bly en slaap.

An excellent overnight destination with brilliant restaurant and reception facilities with friendly management and staff, but spoiled by the sleeping facilities allocated to us which were poorly laid out and not suitable for older people.

The place is easy to find and the reception friendly and professional. The directions to the sleeping facilities which are somewhat inadequate. The sleeping rondavel (No. 10) was clean and tidy. However, it is oddly arranged with a staircase leading up to the bed level. The bathroom is downstairs, as is the lounge area and TV. Small, but perfectly fine for the purpose of staying overnight. The following was noted: Bathroom and toilet downstairs with bed upstairs not ideal, especially for older people. I am 71 years old and my spouse is 69. I often walk with a cane. The stairs were a problem - so much so that my wife slept on the couch. The stairs are not sturdy and the rails very low. Stairs are steep and uneven with openings in between. My wife suffers from a fear of heights and could not take the stairs after a first try. The rail at the foot of the bed above is too low and close to the foot of the bed. The floor is also uneven. The railing height is between knee and hip height. The chance of falling over is high - especially at night. Fridge is above and kettle below - it doesn't make sense. I suggest placing the fridge below with a shelf above for the kettle and other goods. The cups and glasses in an upright box on the in the corner. There is no shelf to unpack any toiletries in the bathroom. Sink plug seal was absent. I suspect that the layout failed because of the Jaccuzzi under the stairs that took up the place. With respect, I would like to mention that in my opinion the Jaccuzzi is completely redundant in this configuration. However, the restaurant and relaxation area is a completely different story. It is very well furnished with all the necessary facilities and creates a real peaceful holiday atmosphere. The staff were extremely considerate and friendly and the music to my taste - peaceful. Dinner and breakfast were served promptly and were well prepared and tasty. Especially the fat cookies with breakfast were a pleasant surprise and delicious. We would easily spend the night there again on the condition that we stay and sleep on the ground floor.

Bingelela Restaurant and B&B 's response

Goeiedag Jan,

Baie dankie vir u resensie en ondersteuning.

Ek wil u graag net gerus stel dat ons wel ander chalets het met beddens op die grondvloer. Met u volgende bespreking, spesifiseer asseblief dat julle 'n grondvloer eenheid sal verkies. Ons trappe is stewig en wel baie veilig maar ons verstaan ten volle dat dit vir ouer mense nie altyd gerieflik is nie.

Ons hoop om julle gou weer by ons te verwelkom.

Chalet en tuine baie netjies en skoon. Vriendelik ontvang.

Ons is vriendelik ontvang en die chalet was pragtig skoon en netjies. Ongelukkig was ons nie bewus daarvan dat die restaurant Sondae om 15:00 sluit nie en het geen kos saam geneem nie (was van plan om Sondagaand daar te eet). Gelukkig het ontvangs gereël dat daar gou vir ons 'n pizza gemaak word voor die kombuispersoneel loop. Alhoewel ons die enigste mense daar was, het ons nog steeds 'n goeie ontbyt die Maandagoggend ontvang. Sal weer daar oorslaap.

Chalet and gardens very neat and clean. Friendly welcome.

We were kindly received and the chalet was beautifully clean and tidy. Unfortunately we were not aware that the restaurant closes at 3pm on Sundays and did not take any food with us (intended to eat there on Sunday night). Fortunately, reception arranged for a pizza to be made for us soon before the kitchen staff left. Although we were the only people there, we still received a good breakfast on Monday morning. Will stay there again.

'n Nagmerrie.

Dit wat geadverteer word en dit wat gevind word, verskil hemelsbreed. Daar is 2 koppies in die rondawel, maar geen wasbak. Jy word verplig om dit in die badkamer te gaan was. Die profiel sê daar is gratis Wi-Fi, maar dit werk net in die kuier-area en nie by jou slaapplek nie. Geen borde - dus verplig hulle jou om ten duurste in hul restaurant te gaan eet. Nêrens op die profiel is daar enige aanduiding dat jy eintlik daar in die bosse slaap nie. Net die mooi foto's wat die plek aantreklik maak, word gewys. Toe ons daar was, het dit gereën. Toe ons by ons rondawel stop, moes ons in die modder uitklim. Geen stoep of plaveisel. Jou motor slaap onder die hoë bome - bloekom bome met baie droë takke. Hulle is gou om 'n bordjie aan jou uit te wys dat hul geen aanspreeklikheid neem vir enige skade nie, maar jy is verplig om jou voertuig onder daardie bome te parkeer, want die plek is so ingerig dat jy met jou motor tot teen die rondawel kan ry. As 'n tak breek tydens 'n erge storm en jou motor beskadig, is daar geen aanspreeklikheid aan hul kant nie. Uiters swak! Ons het in rondawel 9 gebly. Die stort/toilet deur se skuifslot is gebreek en kan nie van binne sluit nie. As jy dus die toilet gebruik, swaai die deur heeltyd oop. Gegewe al voorvermelde, het ons besluit om net een nag te oornag.

A nightmare.

What is advertised and what is found differs widely. There are 2 cups in the rondawel, but no sink. You are obliged to wash it in the bathroom. The profile says there is free Wi-Fi, but it only works in the entertainment area and not where you sleep. No plates - so they oblige you to eat in their restaurant at the most expensive. Nowhere on the profile is there any indication that you are actually sleeping in the bushes. Just the nice pictures that make the place attractive are shown. When we were there it rained. When we stopped at our rondawel, we had to get out into the mud. No pavement or paving. Your car sleeps under the tall trees - eucalyptus trees with very dry branches. They're quick to show you a sign that they are not liable for any damage, but you are obliged to park your vehicle under those trees, because the place is so equipped in such a way that you drive up to the rondawel. If a branch breaks during a severe storm and damages your car, there is no liability on their part. Extremely weak! We stayed in rondawel 9. The shower / toilet door's sliding lock is broken and cannot lock inside. So if you use the toilet, the door will always open. Given the aforementioned, we decided to spend just one night.
