The Steam Dock.

The house was very comfortable with everything we needed for a relaxing one night stay. The braai area was particularly nice, and we spent most of the night there with a fire going. Beautiful views of a farm dam with a mountain backdrop. The showers and toilets are dorm room style.

Needs improvement.

No one to welcome us. We had no electricity and all the appliances are electrical, had no signal, no Wi-Fi and no lamps. I would recommend maybe putting in a gas stove and kettle and lamps when there is no electricity, as when it's off the whole town is off. We couldn't make food the whole day for the kids.

Inboekreëlings kon beter gewees het.

Met ons aankoms het dit baie hard gereën en ek het net SMS-kommunikasie ontvang op daardie stadium. My roete na Die Dampandok het my buite selfoonopvangs geneem. Die huisie is egter voortreflik en ons het lekker gebly na die misverstand.

Check-in arrangements could have been better.

When we arrived it was raining very hard and I only received SMS communication at that time. My route to Die Dampandok took me outside mobile phone reception. However, the cottage is excellent and we had a nice stay after the misunderstanding.

Pity it was only one night!

Decided to take the road less travelled, and explore a part of the country not yet seen before, it was a nice experience, interesting cottage, offered all one needs for a decent self catering overnight stay, easy to find, secluded, enjoyed using the Dover stove to heat up the place.

Baie lekker geslaap in 'n rustige omgewing.

Ons het die aand baie geniet ongeag die feit dat daar nie krag was nie. Ek sal voorstel dat daar dalk net ten minste 'n lamp in die huis gesit word, want dis pikdonker by Die Dampondok as daar nie krag is nie.

Slept very well in a peaceful environment.

We really enjoyed the evening despite the fact that there was no power. I would suggest that maybe at least a lamp is put in the house, because it is pitch dark at Die Dampondok if there is no power.

Rustig en baie mooi.

Die Dampondok is goed toegerus vir selfsorg. Ek moet die eienaars bedank vir hul hulpvaardigheid en hoe hulle ons tegemoet gekom het na 'n lang dag op die pad en 'n laat aankoms. Ons kon ongelukkig nie in persoon ontmoet nie, maar dankie vir die vriendelike ontvangs.

Perfek.

Ons was 7 motorfietse en 'n bakkie wat om Lesotho gery het. Die Dampondok is goed skoon, netjies en goed toegerus. Daar is ook n baie lekker binnenshuis kuierarea met 'n braai. As ek 'n voorstel kan maak is dit om die huidige klipblad om die huis verder te vat tot voor die kuierarea ook. Met die storm was daar 'n groot modderpoel voor die deur en dan trap mens die modder in die huis in.

Perfect.

We were 7 motorbikes and a bakkie driving around Lesotho. The Dampondok is very clean, tidy and well equipped. There is also a very nice indoor recreation area with a braai. If I can make a suggestion, it is to take the current stone slab around the house further to the front of the visiting area as well. During the storm, there was a big puddle of mud in front of the door and then you step in the mud into the house.

Netjiese en rustige verblyf by Dampondok.

Ons het heerlik in Dampondok gebly. Baie netjies en gerieflik. 11km van die dorp. Eienares is ook baie aangenaam. Braaiarea ook mooi ingerig. Zastron die dorp is verwaarloos maar die omgewing van Dampondok is verskriklik mooi. Hoogs aan te beveel as ? mens rustigheid wil ervaar.

Lekker rustige atmosfeer met 'n mooi uitsig.

Die afdraai was maklik vanaf Sterkspruit, maar die 6,7 km sinkplaatpad skud jou bietjie, maar die mooi damme, berge ens. maak dit die moeite werd om te ry na die eindbestemming. Die huis self is goed ingerig en die braaiplek is oulik met mooi vensters. Kos maak is geen probleem want alles is daar. 'n Mens slaap vas, want dit is baie rustig, stil en veilig. 'n Heerlike plaas-uitstappie.

Nice quiet atmosphere with a nice view.

The turn off was easy from Sterkspruit, but the 6.7 km gravel road shakes you a bit, but the beautiful ponds, mountains etc. make it worth the drive to the final destination. The house itself is well appointed and the braai area is cute with nice windows. Making food is not a problem because everything is there. One sleeps great because it is very quiet and safe. A wonderful farm outing.

Fab location, funky place, tiny beds.

We loved the funky building and the location is absolutely beautiful. Everything was clean and facilities great. The only minor draw back was the very small beds, especially the 2nd double which is actually a 3/4. For 5 people is amazing, for 6 a bit of a squash.

Very bad accommodation.

Not clean, all cushions in one room were filthy. Bathroom/toilet section remind me of toilet at primary school! Not what you are expecting from a self-catering cottage. Wooden chairs in the family room/bedroom for light people only! Temperature was 35 degree Celsius and the small bar fridge fitted in that place was not cooling. We filled up ice trays immediately when we arrived at 16h00 as none were available and the next morning ice cubes were still not done. Advertise for 5 persons but only 2 single beds with poor mattresses and a double beds available. Stay away from that place, it is not worth any amount of money.

Baie dankie vir die terugvoer Lacya, ons beoog om die jaar nuwe aanwysingsborde op te sit, wat die pad aanbetref, is dit ongelukkig nie ons private pad nie, so ons kan nie self die sinkplaat pad regmaak nie, sal probeer om ons munisipaliteit te benader om dit reg te maak.
