Quiet, tidy accommodation. Beautiful birds and springboks.
Everything neat, beautiful and peaceful environment. However, specific unit Pendoring lacks a comfortable sofa to sit on, there are only 2 upright non-comfortable armchairs. The shower in the downstairs bedroom is not functional at all, the whole room gets wet. Although we have been informed about water taking a long time to heat up, we believe they should look at an alternative to save water.

TV out of order since our arrival, called several times, they promise they will send someone now, someone comes who doesn't even know how the remote works, promise we will contact someone, we called 3 more times, nothing happens. So whole weekend without TV. There are warnings everywhere that we are not allowed to use hair dryers, my wife had a lot of trouble when we decided to drive on Sunday morning. Goats were nice, but that's about it. So service was extremely poor. Not there again, please.

Nice place, but need to look at the little things, renovation.
We had a nice stay, it was peaceful, well furnished, but some renovation work is needed here and there, especially because the cottage is specially for couples. Found an incredible amount of wasps in the house, especially in the upstairs bedroom, also on top of the deck and under the braai area. So could not sit on the top deck, especially if you are allergic to bees and wasps. We went to pay the day visitor fee (Friday 7 April) at Hanlie's for the day visitor who stopped by on Sunday 9 April, and are still waiting for the change she would bring. We also received no information about walking routes and where we can and cannot walk. There is also nothing said about the solar power and how it works. Think the "welcome" could be worked on. The solar battery was fully charged during the day, but drained very quickly and then started beeping terribly at night and beeping all night, and it was quite an annoyance. And that after we were very frugal with lights in the house. So there was no power in the morning. We reported it on Saturday morning but did not get any feedback. We had a nice stay, close to Paris, which makes things comfortable.

Quick overnight. Fairly quiet (little road noise) in a nice setting.
Well equipped but the fact that the kitchen is on the top floor with a very narrow staircase at the top makes it difficult to carry crates of food etc. get to the top. The advantage is that you have a nicer view from the braai balcony.

Spacious accommodation on the farm
When we arrived we called the number at the gate and a very friendly lady answered. She kindly informed us that the unit was open and that we could just go in….that was the last we saw or heard from the friendly lady. Slept a little worried. It is on a farm, with the units far from the main house. 500 + meters nicely hidden among the forest of trees. Doors are ordinary sliding doors that we all know can be opened extremely easily. No security doors or burglar bars in front of the doors and windows. Everyone will probably say... yes the bangat comes from the city, but that's not true, I'm an outdoorsy person and I'm often on the farm. The reality is.. farm attacks and farm murders which is the first thing you always see on farms... no proper security.

Very nice and a large comfortable chalet in a very beautiful environment.
Doringbos Lodge is ideal for family/friends gatherings. There is a nice boma where you can hang out until late. We had a great time and ventured into the streets of Paris to visit all the shops in Breëstraat. Many thanks for Ronel's kindness. We will definitely make a reservation again.

Doringbos Lodge is indescribably beautiful. From the moment you drive through the gates you feel at home. Ronel is very friendly and very helpful. Soetdoring is the most beautiful and comfortable house, with everything you need. The goats also immediately made us feel welcome. They have already moved around the house. Thanks to Ronel and LekkeSlaap for this heaven on earth.

Incredible views, wonderfully quiet and calm, it is the ideal place to relax. You can find yourself again. It is comfortably close to Parys, but far enough away so that you can see the stars. Vlamdoring is very neat, clean and well equipped. Ronel is very friendly, hospitable and will go out of her way to ensure that everything is fine. I will definitely recommend Doringbos Lodge and will also definitely return!

It's the best self-catering unit I've ever rented at a very reasonable price.
The unit is very well equipped, clean and tidy. The reception was friendly. It is the ideal place to rest and get away from the city noise. The spring goats sleep on the grass in front of the units, which makes it even more peaceful. Would definitely recommend it.

Relaxing getaway.
The accommodation is beautiful and clean. The corner bath in the main bedroom was a big treat. The lukewarm swimming pool was lovely. The environment is very clam and one can really relax. One thing prospective tourists have to know is that there are a lot of flies in summer, especially when food is being prepared. I would recommend buying Doom or other alternatives. We enjoyed it a lot. Thanks so much.

Never again.
Firstly we did not get the accommodation that is advertised on the web. We were looking forward to staying in one of the places that was advertised. Secondly we struggled to make the TV work. Thirdly the gas heater did not work. Fourth it started raining and when we went into the main bedroom, everything was full of water from the toilet to the bedroom. The water literally flowed into the place. It even got wet on the bed. We let the people know and we are still waiting for a reply. Also the stove did not work. We wanted to bake a piece of chicken and after a half hour nothing had happened even though the light proved that the oven was on. It also started hailing and our car stood outside the yard of the house without any protection. We suffered a lot of hail damage.

Doringbos Lodge 's response
Sover ek weet het ons dit spesiaal op die web bygevoeg. Ons het die gasverwarmer die Maandag aangesteek en dit het gebrand. Die oond het ons nagegaan en dit het ook gewerk. Ons het ongelukkig eers die boodskap gekry nadat hul uitgeboek het omdat ons nie altyd 'n goeie sein het nie. Aan die reën kan ons ongelukkig niks doen nie ons is maar net te dankbaar. Ons was nie bewus daarvan dat die dak lek nie dis die eerste keer. Ons kan ongelukkig nie voorsien dat dit gaan hael nie. Die stoof het ook gewerk. Jammer vir die ongerief.

Unbearably hot and unwelcome.
If it wasn't for the wildlife walking around, nothing would be special about this place. Well, I'm specifically referring to the Soetdoring unit where we were placed. I suspect the owner saw that we are from Botswana and thought this unit would suit "bush dwellers". We were informed that the other units at the Lodge were not available, it was a lie. The bed my 16 year old daughter had to sleep on, was weak. The place is full of dust and cobwebs. We arrived Friday afternoon, except for the owner's voice we heard over the phone, we didn't see anyone for the 4 days we were there. Soetdoring is in the middle of an open field, it is like an oven and there is just a stand-alone fan. The place is solar powered, so at arrival we were informed over the phone that we were not allowed to use a blow dryer, how does a women not use a blow dryer for 4 days?

Goeie dag
Ons is jammer dat bg gas dit so ervaar het. Soetdoring is ons eenheid wat altyd heel eerste bespreek word. Die gaste verwys na ons plek as n paradys. Dit is ook die eerste keer wat gaste kla oor die spleeper chouch. Aan die hitte kan ek ongelukkig niks doen nie. Die gaste moet besef dit is op n plaas en die goggas en spinnerakke is deel daarvan. Ek maak vandag my eie wooning skoon en n dag daarna is daar weer spinnerakke. Ek het ook die gas meegedeel dat daar n haardroer beskikbaar is wat sy vrou kan gebruik wat deur die solar gedra kan word.
Groete

The unit we booked was advertised as suitable for 8 but it was actually only suitable for 6. The place was filthy - cupboards full of dust and cobwebs behind the beds etc. We got cold and asked for extra blankets but didn't get any. Bedding was very thin for winter. Windows let in a lot of cold light, didn't close properly. The shower was very weak, almost no water came out of the shower.
