Te kort vir die lekker kuiertjie.

Baie lekker gebly, kamers netjies en skoon, baie vriendelik verwelkom en baie gasvry.

Lieflike plek, vriendelike blonde ontvangsdame, maar diens is baie swak.

Ek sal slegs mense kan aanbeveel indien daar 'n paar verbeterings aangebring word. 1. Ek het vooraf gereël vir ondersteuning, my ma was ontslaan uit dagkliniek en het bedrus benodig, ontvangsdame het op 'n groter kamer besluit waarvoor ek dankbaar is. 2. Geen personeel het my gehelp met bagasie van myself of pasiënt nie, 2 het gestaan en kyk. 3. Gulhartige verwelkoming deur ontvangsdame, maar geen drinkwater of mikrogolfoond in kamer beskikbaar nie. 4. Stort se drein was verstop, hele badkamer en deel van kamervloer onder water, wat ek self drooggemaak het. Het dit aan ontvangsdame gerapporteer.

Lovely place, friendly blonde receptionist, but service is very poor.

I will only be able to recommend people if some improvements are made. 1. I pre-arranged for support, my mother was discharged from day clinic and needed bed rest, receptionist decided on a bigger room for which I am grateful. 2. No staff helped me with luggage of myself or patient, 2 stood and watched. 3. Generous welcome by receptionist, but no drinking water or microwave oven available in room. 4. Shower drain was blocked, whole bathroom and part of room floor under water, which I dried myself. Reported it to receptionist.

Gerieflik maar het beter diens verwag.

Dis nogal ongerieflik om iemand te moet bel na 8pm om by die hek in te kom. Ons het van 'n troue afgekom en moes mense om middernag bel om oop te maak. Ek het die papier met die kode vir die voordeur in ons kamer vergeet en moes weer bel om in te kom. Ek sou verkies om 'n remote te hê vir die hek en 'n sms met die kode as 'n papier wat ek maklik kan verloor of vergeet. Reception was nie baie vriendelik nie. Ek het gevra vir 'n haardroër en het die kleinste en goedkoopste moontlike haardroër gekry om te gebruik. Koffie was sommer Ricoffee en Cremora sakkies. Sou melk en koue water in die yskas waardeer het. Vir 'n 4-ster lodge het ek meer verwag. Maar het lekker en gerieflik geslaap.

Convenient but expected better service.

It's quite inconvenient to have to call someone after 8pm to get in the gate. We came from a wedding and had to call people at midnight to open. I forgot the paper with the code for the front door in our room and had to call again to get in. I would prefer to have a remote for the gate and an SMS with the code than a paper that I can easily lose or forget. Reception was not very friendly. I asked for a hair dryer and was given the smallest and cheapest possible hair dryer to use. Coffee was simply Ricoffee and Cremora sachets. Would have appreciated milk and cold water in the fridge. For a 4 star lodge I expected more. But slept well and comfortably.

Baie slegte ervaring.

Ons het vantevore hier gebly en besluit om dit weer te doen, maar tot ons bittere spyt, die lugversorger werk nie. Jy kan hom nie instel nie. Die plek is bedompig en vol klonte, geen handdoeke uitgesit nie, geen koue water in die wasbak nie. Dit was glad nie pret om jou tande te borsel met vuurwarm water nie. Dit was baie lawaaierig en ek sal nooit weer daar bespreek nie.

Very bad experience.

We have stayed here before and decided to do it again, but to our bitter regret, the air conditioner does not work. You can't tune him. The place is stuffy and full of lumps, no towels laid out, no cold water in the sink. Brushing your teeth with scalding hot water was no fun at all. It was very noisy and I will never book there again.

Adequate for a nights stay

I specifically booked a room with two single beds, however on arrival I was asked if we would be sharing a double bed. Rather odd. The room provided was very small but adequate for one night’s stay. Ceiling light in room was dim and globe missing from table lamp. A group of teenage rugby players staying at Dunwoodie made a lot of noise until late which kept me up.

Poor service. Aircon leaks. No breakfast.

After 4 emails and an international call to Lekkeslaap in Cape Town, we are visited to show proof of payment upon arrival. No regular room, aircon not working or leaking water. Security at entrance, with no phones answered. Breakfast booked, but nothing prepared, it is only proved that we have to pay extra. Total waste of time. Would not recommend anyone to book through Lekkeslaap.

Vert bad experience. Loud music and people. Cigarette smoke smell all over.

Unfortunately not a good experience. Could not sleep, because of loud music and people in bar area. No reaction from management on complaining. Cigarette smoke smell everywhere. Shower head broken. Bathroom door could not close for privacy.

Lugversorgers sou beter as waaiers gewerk het.

Daar was net waaiers in die kamers. Die plek was baie netjies, baie dankie.

Die ontvangs was vriendelik maar die kamers benodig aandag en onderhoud

Ons is vriendelik ontvang, maar het 'n minder lekker ervaring gehad met die stort wat die wereld vol spuit en is alles sopnat nog voordat jy in die stort klim, dus onbruikbaar.(kamer 8) Daar is ook 'n los elektrisiteit "socket" wat heeltemal onaanvaarbaar is.Die ontvangsdame het ons vriendelik gehelp om oor te skuif na kamer no 10, maar die lig was buitewerking. Hierdie kamer se stort lek ook vreeslik water en die wasbak se kraan is los. Die gevoel wat mens kry is dat daar nie algemene onderhoud gedoen word nie. Die feit dat die toegangshek buite werking is, was baie ongemaklik vir die ontvangsdame aangesien sy ons elke keer moes in- en uitlaat.Ek kan dus ongelukkig op hierdie stadium niemand aanbeveel om van hierdie fasiliteit gebruik te maak nie,jammer. Ons reis baie vir werk en privaat en het al veel beter geriewe gehad in selfs "3 ster" fasiliteite.

The reception was friendly but the rooms need attention and maintenance

We were received kindly, but had a less pleasant experience with the shower that sprays all over the world and everything is soaking wet even before you get into the shower, therefore unusable. (room 8) There is also a loose electricity "socket". which is completely unacceptable. The receptionist kindly helped us to move to room no 10, but the light was out of order. This room's shower also leaks water terribly and the sink faucet is loose. The feeling one gets is that there is no general maintenance. The fact that the entrance gate is out of order was very uncomfortable for the receptionist as she had to let us in and out every time. So unfortunately at this stage I cannot recommend anyone to use this facility, sorry. We travel a lot for work and private and have had much better facilities in even "3 star" facilities.
