Puik, vriendelike diens!

Die dame wat my ontvang het was vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die plek is pynlik netjies en skoon (vars linne en handdoeke). Heerlike ontbyt stiptelik op die tyd soos bespreek by die kamer afgelewer. TV met DSTV in die kamer. Ek sal enige iemand aanbeveel om by die plek te oornag. Dit is wel uit die stad maar rustig, skoon en netjies.

Great, friendly service!

The lady who received me was friendly and helpful. The place is painfully neat and clean (fresh linen and towels). Delicious breakfast delivered to the room promptly at the time as booked. TV with DSTV in the room. I would recommend anyone to stay overnight at the place. It is out of the city but quiet, clean and tidy.

Dit was aangenaam maar sekere fasiliteite kort herstel en opgradering. Ek sal voorwaardelik aanbeveel.

Handdoekreling in badkamer was afgebreek/stukkend. Stort se lig het nie gewerk nie. Geen warm water nie (ligte is elementêre goed wat jy nagaan voordat jou gaste inboek). Elke gastehuis moet vinnig leer, jy gee nie meer Riccoffy (sigorei - in Europa is dit groente) vir koffie nie en ook nie poeiermelk nie. En dan is 'n kunsmatige versoeter 'n moet. Ek verwag nie 'n perkoleerder nie. Gewoon koffie, met melk, en (vir diabete) 'n versoeter in die plek van suiker. Ligging, as jy laatmiddag/vroegaand aankom en jy moet dan nog iets vir aandete kry, dis ongelukkig 'n nee.

It was pleasant but certain facilities need repair and upgrading. I would conditionally recommend.

Towel rail in bathroom was broken/broken. Shower light did not work. No hot water (lights are basic things you check before your guests check in). Every guesthouse needs to learn fast, you no longer give Riccoffy (chicory - in Europe it's a vegetable) for coffee and neither does powdered milk. And then an artificial sweetener is a must. I don't expect a percolator. Just coffee, with milk, and (for diabetics) a sweetener instead of sugar. Location, if you arrive in the late afternoon/early evening and you still need to get something for dinner, that's unfortunately a no.

Netjiese plek om te oornag.

Vriendelike ontvangs, netjiese skoon eenheid, baie lekker ontbyt. Lekker warm geslaap terwyl dit 0°C buite was. Definitief die moeite werd.

Neat place to stay overnight.

Friendly reception, neat clean unit, very nice breakfast. Slept well while it was 0 ° C outside. Definitely worth it.

Ons is vriendelik ontvang en die verblyf het aan al ons verwagtinge voldoen. Daar is onvermydelik effense padgeraas van die nabygeleë N3-snelweg, maar dit was nie so erg dat dit ons nagrus versteur het nie.

Ekhaya Lodge is 'n oornagfasiliteit wat gunstig geleë is vir persone wat atlete wat aan die jaarlikse Comrades Marathon deelneem wil ondersteun (veral met die "op-wedloop"). Atlete wat vooraf op die Comrades roete wil oefen ("Little Polly's & Polly Shorts) sal ook hier 'n goeie tuiste kan vind.

We were warmly welcomed and the accommodation met all our expectations. There is inevitably some road noise from the nearby N3 highway, but it was not so bad that it disturbed our night's sleep.

Ekhaya Lodge is an overnight facility that is conveniently located for people who want to support athletes participating in the annual Comrades Marathon (especially with the "on race"). Athletes who want to practice on the Comrades route in advance ("Little Polly's & Polly Shorts") can also find a good home here.

Glad nie R700 per nag werd nie!

Handdoekreling stukkend, bedlampies nie plek om ingeprop te word nie, ketel moet op die vloer neergesit word om te kook omdat sy koord te kort is om by muurprop by te kom. Die plek is skoon, maar definitief nie meer as R450 per nag nie!

Not worth R700 per night at all!

Towel rail broken, bedside lamps no place to be plugged in, kettle has to be put on the floor to cook because its cord is too short to reach wall plug. The place is clean, but definitely not more than R450 per night!

Good accommodation.

The room is very nice. Things that requires urgent improvement is the hot water pressure, location of the TV in the bedroom. The noise levels from the main house is very disturbing when you rest.

Teleurstellend.

Dit was baie teleurstellend, ek het nie eers daar oorgeslaap nie, dit was vuil en ondraagbaar.

Disappointed.

We were put in the cabins. My wife and I had single beds, no fridge and no microwave. Our married children had those luxuries. For the price we paid we would have expected breakfast to be included.

Mooie kamer maar een gastvrouw die erg verlegen is en niets zegt

We mochten de kamer zelf iuitzoeken. Kamer was schoon . De gastvrouw heeft ons ontvangen maar daarna hebben wij haar niet meer gezien. Ontbijt was magertjes voor de 90 rand die we betaalden. We hadden ons erg verheugd op een hostess. Maar dit viel ons tegen.

Nice room but one hostess who is very shy and doesn't say anything

We were allowed to choose the room ourselves. Room was clean. The hostess received us, but after that we did not see her again. Breakfast was meager before the 90 rand we paid. We were very pleased with one hostess. But it failed us.

Die foto wys 'n mooi baksteenhuis.

Maar dit was eintlik 'n houtkamer. Dis egter redelik waarde vir geld.

The photo shows a nice brick house.

But it was actually a wooden room. It's quite value for money though.
