Goeie waarde vir geld, eienaars kan klein veranderinge aanbring om te verbeter.

Ons het lekker gebly, daar was net kleinighede wat gepla het. Daar was nie genoeg warm komberse nie. Daar was 'n harde waterdrup in die klein badkamer wat ons in die nag gepla het, en die hoë stoele op die stoep is gebreek.

Good value for money, owners can make small changes to improve.

We had a nice stay, there were only little things that bothered us. There were not enough warm blankets. There was a loud water drip in the small bathroom which bothered us at night, and the high chairs on the porch were broken.

Sal aanbeveel, gaan kuier gerus daar!

Uitsig word bietjie beperk, eenheid is wel in 2de ry. Tog mooi uitsig vir die rivier vanaf boonste verdieping. Baie vriendelike gasvrou. Eenheid is gerieflik en skoon, baie dankie. Daar is duidelik baie moeite gedoen met opknappings en opgradering, ons het lekker gebly. Dankie.

View is a bit limited, unit is in 2nd row. Still nice view of the river from the top floor. Very friendly hostess. Unit is comfortable and clean, thank you very much. Clearly a lot of effort has gone into renovations and upgrades, we had a great stay. Thank you.

Not happy at all for what we paid.

Bed is uncomfortable and the suite bathroom we could not use as the taps don't work. The shower floor is dangerously slippery, and the shower drain was blocked. Outside the front door was a sewer inspection hatch which was broken, and a smell came through. We covered it with a bag.

Net 'n baie kort kuier in Witsand, maar sal enige tyd kan aanbeveel.

Therese wat ons ontvang het, is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Sy het op baie kort kennisgewing gehelp met blyplek vir 'n addisionele persoon wat saamgekom het. Die lodge is baie netjies en het alles wat nodig is. Baie naby aan see en restaurant. Mooi uitsig.

Family holiday in July to Witsand.

We were 2 adults and 2 children under the age of 12. We stayed for 2 nights and had a lovely time, even though it was really cold! But we will definitely recommend this place and be back again one day and hope to stay for longer. The unit was comfortable and clean and catered to all our needs.

Plek was skoon, maar dis ook al.

Die televisie werk nie, kaste se deure hang, skuifdeur in kamer kan nie oop nie, die gevaarlikste van als is die stoof. Die plate staan in die lug van roes, dink dis baie onveilig. Orals in die kaste staan goed. Geen stortgordyn in hoofslaapkamer nie. Dink regtig hierdie eienaar moet vasgevat word!

Place was clean, but that's about it.

The television does not work, cupboard doors are hanging, sliding door in the room cannot be opened, the most dangerous of all is the stove. The plates stand in the air of rust, think it is very unsafe. Everything in the cupboards is good. No shower curtain in master bedroom. Really think this owner should be arrested!

Unfortunately with the record rainfall that was experienced in Witsand almost all house roofs leaked. The curtains, towels, and bedding have all been replaced with new as of last Wednesday 8th November, Painting is set to start.

Gelukkig is Witsand 'n veilige plek.

Die "swing chair" op die stoep was 'n aangename verrassing. Dit was my gunstelingplek om te sit, wieg en die uitsig te waardeer. Ongelukkig kon die slaapkamer en tweede vloer se stoepdeur nie sluit nie. Ons het omtrent gesukkel om eerstens die slaapkamerdeur oop te kry en tweedens weer toe te kry. Die skuifdeurslot wou nie draai nie, dus kon die deure nie sluit nie. Blykbaar is nuwe deurspore bestel, so hopenlik word dit binnekort herstel. Gelukkig is Witsand 'n veilige plek.

Fortunately, Witsand is a safe place.

The "swing chair" on the porch was a pleasant surprise. It was my favorite place to sit, rock and appreciate the view. Unfortunately, the bedroom and second floor patio door could not close. We had a bit of a struggle to firstly get the bedroom door open and secondly to close it again. The sliding door lock would not turn, so the doors could not close. Apparently new door tracks have been ordered so hopefully they will be repaired soon. Fortunately, Witsand is a safe place.

Bietjie teleurgesteld gewees.

Die foto's was baie nicer as die actual plekkie. Baie dinge kort aandag soos al die houtskuifdeure kon nie toetrek nie, van skarniere af of so styf ons het geskukkel. Beddegoed in 2 enkelkamers was oud en vol vlekke. Gordyne in hoofslaapkamer was geroes en vol vuil kolle. Toilette, stort en wasbakke nie mooi skoongemaak gewees nie. Die TV was gebalanseer in die sitkamer op 'n handdoek en skeef. Die kaggel was stukkend en kon nie gebruik geword het nie. As ek eerlikwaar vergelyk die foto's met die realiteit is dit bietjie misleading veral vir die prys wat ek betaal het. Die ligging is baie nice en check-in was maklik.

Was a bit disappointed.

The photos were much nicer than the actual place. Many things need attention such as all the wooden sliding doors could not close, off hinges or so tight we struggled. Bedding in 2 single rooms was old and full of stains. Curtains in master bedroom were rusted and full of dirty spots. Toilets, shower and sinks have not been properly cleaned. The TV was balanced in the living room on a towel and tilted. The fireplace was broken and could not have been used. If I honestly compare the photos with the reality it is a bit misleading especially for the price I paid. The location is very nice and check-in was easy.

Dit was OK, maar nie wow nie.

Dit is vir my super belangrik om 'n goeie bed te hê. Die bed was hard en die matras deurgelê. Nie goeie kwaliteit nie. Met die prys verwag mens 'n paar sakkies koffie, tee, en suiker, en 'n melkie. Dis nie groot uitgawes nie. En 'n lekker bottel koue water. Toiletpapier kan hul ook ekstra verskaf. Die stort was verstop.

Having a good bed is super important to me. The bed was hard and the mattress worn. Not good quality. With the price one expects a few bags of coffee, tea, and sugar, and a milkie. It's not a big expense. And a nice bottle of cold water. They can also provide extra toilet paper. The shower was clogged.

Never again!

After a wonderful Chokka Hiking Trail experience in several guest houses, we (married for over 40 years) booked two nights in the Breede River Lodge for relaxation on the way home to explore and experience one of the unique ecosystems in South Africa. The Blue Bayou accommodation detracts from a beautiful Lodge with otherwise friendly people! Good email and messaging communication was received from Blue Bayou, Breede River Lodge (Rob). Unit 208 was allocated to us. A dirty and dusty unit 208 was found on our arrival at around 18:30. Old carpets filled up all open storage spaces in main bedroom. Dusty blankets on bed causing serious hay fever at night. We had to remove them outside the bedroom in the middel of a cold night. Main light in bedroom was not working. TV wall connection screwed open and left on table. TV not working. Only 10% toilet paper on roll. Bathroom not hygienic clean. Mop and house cleaning equipment left on balcony. Shower water running out slower than inflow. Serious restoration work on adjoining unit. Starting at 07:30 in the morning with hammering on wooden pergola next door. Cutting cement tiles and sliding door frames throughout the day. Words of renting agent Therese next morning, "As jy nie tevrede is met die plek nie kan jy vir jou 'n ander plek gaan kry. Ek sal reël dat die eienaar jou oorblywende dag terug betaal". Explaining that we've paid R245 cleaning fee in addition to renting, the agent said "that is to clean your unit for the next clients"! My wife and I were the only clients out of many open and available units at the Breede River Lodge. We've booked well in advance. Out of all the available units, it is difficult to believe that unit 208 was given to us without consent of restoration work on the same building structure. Bad experience on our first visit to one of the ecological wonders in South Africa. We can only hope that visitors from overseas will get better and friendlier places to stay.

Sien die see en rivier mekaar ontmoet.

Heerlike kuierwoonstel met bo-vertrek met lekker balkon vir uitsig oor die rivier en die see. Kaggel in leefvertrek met goed-toegeruste kombuis. Onderste twee slaapkamers elk met hul eie badkamer. Een het 'n bad en een 'n stort. Verwarmers in kamers, oorgenoeg ekstra komberse en warmkomberse op al die beddens. Uitstekende waarde vir geld. Ek beveel dit baie sterk aan.

Hierdie selfsorgeenheid is goed toegerus en uiters geskik vir 'n paartjie of gesin met 2 kinders. Die uitsig is pragtig en die area baie rustig. Daar is 'n paar plekke in die eenheid wat aandag kort en bietjie onderhoud moet gedoen word. Dit is egter goeie waarde vir geld.

Spent only 1 night in Witsand.

This self-catering unit is well equipped and extremely suitable for a couple or family with 2 children. The view is beautiful and the area very peaceful. There are a few places in the unit that need attention and some maintenance. However, it is good value for money.

Baie lekker gebly! Alles wat jy nodig het.

Elke huisie het nie sy eie braaigeriewe nie, maar 'n gemeenskaplike braaiplek. Sou dit eerder verkies om eie braaiplek te hê.

Very nice stay! Everything you need.

Each cottage does not have its own braai facilities, but a common braai area. Would prefer to have own braai place.

The location was amazing. The unit we stayed in needs attention.

Unit 208 is privately owned. Lounge carpet needs to be thrown away, mattress covers need a wash and towels need to be replaced.

Mooi plekkie, maar kort aandag.

Die trappe is nogal problematies, veral as bagasie opgedra moet word. Dit was wel genoem dat daar steil trappe binne die plek is na die leefarea. Die skuifdeure na buite kort aandag. Het vreeslik gesukkel om dit oop te maak. Die kombuiskaste by wasbak het nat geword en kan nie maklik oop of toe nie. Stoofplate is geroes. Die plek kort ernstige instandhouding.

Nice place, but lacks attention.

The stairs are quite problematic, especially if luggage has to be carried up. It was mentioned that there are steep stairs inside the place to the living area. The sliding doors to the outside need attention. Had terrible trouble opening it. The kitchen cabinets by the sink have become wet and cannot be opened or closed easily. Stove plates are rusted. The place needs serious maintenance.

Lekker ontspannend. Mooi uitsig.

Die eenheid was netjies, met genoeg warm beddegoed. Die enigste probleme wat dit onaangenaam gemaak het was die stortdeur, dit moet vervang word. In die kombuis by die wasbak is die hout-countertop al so beskadig van die water dat dit heeltyd op die vloer deur drup. Yskas het na vis of iets onaangenaam geruik. Die webtuiste se advertensie moet aangepas word, aangesien daar geen braai-area is by die swembad nie.

Nice and relaxing. Nice view.

The unit was tidy, with enough warm bedding. The only problems that made it unpleasant was the shower door, it needs to be replaced. In the kitchen by the sink, the wooden countertop is already so damaged from the water that it is constantly dripping onto the floor. Fridge smelled of fish or something unpleasant. The website's advertisement needs to be adjusted, as there is no braai area at the pool.

Ons was in unit 208.

Die eenheid is baie vuil en oud. Geen skuifdeur kan oop en die laaie onder wasbak kon ook nie oop. Die sitkamerbanke was vol vuil kolle. Hoofslaapkamer se skuifdeur kon nie oop en gordyne was vuil. Die mikrogolf was vol vuil spatsels van vorige gaste. Die toaster was grillerig en vuil. Ons het nie lekker gebly in unit 208 nie. Als is vuil gewees.

A relaxing and comfortable stay in a well appointed apartment with beautiful views over the Breede River.

We loved the boat trip up the river despite the poor fishing. Great birding and lovely scenery. We were served the best oysters I have ever eaten at the Anchorage Restaurant.

A very neat double storey unit within a complex with a view of the lagoon.

The unit is beautiful and clean. The stairs to the upstairs section are steep. Upstairs has a view of the lagoon and a comfortable swing chair from which to enjoy the sunrise. A short drive takes you to the beach at Witsand. Well-equipped.

Het dit verskriklik geniet.

Alhoewel daar probleme was met vuil beddegoed was die kuier baie gesellig. Het dit verskriklik geniet. Die feit dat my seun kon loop en verken soos hy wil was vir my 'n verligting. Baie veilig en gaste vriendelik.

Although there were problems with dirty bedding, the visit was very cozy. Enjoyed it terribly. The fact that my son could walk and explore as he pleased was a relief to me. Very safe and guest friendly.

Definitely needs a revamp.

The rooms are old and should be revamped. Carpets are old and smelly, they should be replaced. Towels are old and should be replaced daily. Sleeps 4 adults however 2nd bedroom door cannot close because of bed! Whole unit was dirty.

Vuilste plek wat ek nog ooit teëgekom het. Badkamer nie stortgordyn en als is onder water as jy stort. Vuil beddegoed ruik muf.

Plek soebat vir 'n oordoen. Hou aan soek, daar's beter plekke op Witsand.

Oulike eenheid, lekker koffie, pragtige uitsig met perfekte ligging.

Ons het heerlik gekuier voor kaggelvuur asook op die dek met pragtige uitsig op die Breederivier. Pili Pili Restaurant en kroeg op die perseel was baie gerieflik. Sal beslis weer besoek.

Very nice, location and view fantastic. Very neat and clean.

However, we were not happy with Terese - I had to call her 3 times to make arrangements about the key. I couldn't get the key until around 14:15 (I pay for accommodation from 14:00) and she couldn't show me around. When we got there, the cleaners were still busy and the bedclothes were still being changed. After they got out they later knocked again and the mop and broom were given to me to keep. She did not tell us that the remote control of the TV in the living room was not working nor that the TV in the bedroom was not working at all. We also only had to notice after dark that the light bulb in the small bathroom didn't work and therefore had to shower in the dark etc. In terms of value for money, after searching a bit further I was able to compare prices for adjoining units for cheaper per night. I was shocked and pretty upset.
