Family with young children

Baie teleurstellend.

Na 1050 km se reis is ons ingelig dat die restaurant slegs vooraf bestellings vat. Die enigste restaurant in die omgewing wat voorgestel is, was nie sleg nie, maar ons moes weereens in die kar klim en ry. Juis die lodge bespreek om dit nie hoef te doen nie. Die swembad is nie 'n visdam en was so vuil soos een. So na 'n warm dag se reis kon die kinders nie swem nie. Die dakwaaier in die kamer was stukkend. Dit was baie warm, 37 grade. Die los waaier wat gebring was, was baie vuil en het skaars gewerk op een mens. Alle kamers is aangrensend. Om 4uur die oggend te luister hoe iemand opgooi terwyl jy probeer slaap, is aaklig. Ons moes 'n halfuur sukkel om ordentlike parkering te kry, aangesien ons 'n alternatiewe ingang moes gebruik om in te kom met die verkeerde kode. Ek het julle gebel en kon nie alternatiewe verblyf kry in die omgewing nie. Dit is die eerste klagte wat ek in die dekade wat ek julle gebruik, al ooit gemaak is. Dit was 'n aaklige ondervinding en teen 'n prys wat dit nie voorspel nie. Baie teleurgesteld.

Very disappointing.

After 1050 km of travel we were informed that the restaurant only takes advance orders. The only restaurant in the area that was suggested was not bad, but we had to get in the car and drive again. Booked the lodge specifically to avoid having to do that. The swimming pool is not a fish pond and was as dirty as one. So after a hot day of travel the kids couldn't swim. The ceiling fan in the room was broken. It was very hot, 37 degrees. The spare fan that was brought was very dirty and barely worked on one person. All rooms are adjacent. Listening to someone throwing up at 4am while you're trying to sleep is horrible. We had to struggle for half an hour to find decent parking, as we had to use an alternative entrance to get in with the wrong code. I called you and couldn't find alternative accommodation in the area. This is the first complaint I've ever made in the decade I've been using you. It was a horrible experience and at a price that does not predict it. Very disappointed.

Plek was netjies, maar prys beslis net vir oorseese toeriste.

Netjiese kamer gehad, maar prys te hoog. Aandete was lekker boerekos maar teen R245/persoon buitensporig hoog. Een van die bestuurders, Christo, is `n baie aangename persoon wat ons by die aandete welkom laat voel het.

Place was neat, but definitely price only for overseas tourists.

Had a neat room, but price too high. Dinner was nice peasant food but at R245/person excessively high. One of the managers, Christo, is a very pleasant person who made us feel welcome at the dinner.

'n Ware Afrika-styl lodge met uitstekende geriewe en voedsel.

Die ontvangs was baie professioneel, dog vriendelik en effektief. Die kamer was iets besonders met 'n duidelike Afrika-stempel. Die etes was van hoogstaande gehalte en die diens uitstekend, selfs tydens 'n kragonderbreking!

A true African style lodge with excellent facilities and food.

The reception was very professional, yet friendly and efficient. The room was something special with a distinct African stamp. The meals were of high quality and the service excellent, even during a power outage!

Uitstekend! Met 'n regte koninggrootte-bed (nie twee beddens bymekaar nie). Pragtige kamers.

Baie mooi kamers, met luukse bed en groot bad, handdoeke en pantoffels - 'n regte bederfie. Die kos was "okay" - ek is nie mal oor oondskyfies nie, maar die sop was heerlik. Ontbyt was ook goed voorberei. Daar is 'n baie mooi tuin en swembad! Dink dit sal lekker wees om te ontspan in die somer by die swembad. 'n Baie rustige atmosfeer! 'n Behulpsame dame aan diens en vriendelike bediening.

Outstanding! With a real king size bed (not two beds together). Beautiful rooms.

Very nice rooms, with luxurious bed and large bath, towels and slippers - a real treat. The food was "okay" - I don't love oven chips, but the soup was delicious. Breakfast was also well prepared. There is a very nice garden and swimming pool! Think it would be nice to relax in the summer by the pool. A very peaceful atmosphere! A helpful lady on duty and friendly service.

Lovely accommodation, good food and very helpful staff

The Lodge is ideally situated close to the southern gate of Addo Park, just off the N2 road. The Sundays river ferry boat is also nearby and well worth a half day excursion.

Rooms are very nice.

Location is too near the N2, so it is loud. Breakfast is poor. However, the bedrooms are very nice.
