So lekker gebly!

Pragtige kamers, gesellige atmosfeer en alles wat jy nodig het. Mooiste uitsig oor Gariepdam! Die binnenswembad en Jacuzzi was 'n groot bederf!

Netjies, modern, skoon met baie vriendelike personeel.

Ons het heerlik gebly! Swembad was mooi skoon en netjies, handdoeke was voorsien vir swembad. Die woonstel was baie mooi en netjies, badkamers was skoon en alles was in werkende toestand. Elke slaapkamer se aircon asook die leefarea van die woonstel se aircon was heerlik koud. Vol DStv met WiFi. Die braaier was die volgende oggend skoon gemaak. Ons sal vir seker weer daar bly!

We had a wonderful stay! Pool was nice clean and tidy, towels were provided for pool. The apartment was very nice and tidy, bathrooms were clean and everything was in working order. Each bedroom's aircon as well as the living area of the apartment's aircon were deliciously cold. Full DStv with WiFi. The braai was cleaned the next morning. We will definitely stay there again!

Gerieflik, netjies, skoon, vriendelike diens, lekker kos, fantastiese uitsig.

Ons was eers na donker daar. Ons het 'n sleutel ontvang en is dadelik na die restaurant / kroeg geneem vir 'n ete van braaivleis wat jy self kan kies en braai, en bykosse. Ons eenheid was perfek vir 3 mense. Oggendkoffie op die stoep met die son wat opkom oor die dam was fantasties. Ek wou nie ry nie! Baie dankie!

We weren't there until after dark. We received a key and were immediately taken to the restaurant / bar for a meal of braai meat that you can choose and grill yourself, and side dishes. Our unit was perfect for 3 people. Morning coffee on the porch with the sun rising over the pond was fantastic. I didn't want to drive! Thank you very much!

Beste afsluiting van ons vakansie.

Dit was 'n heerlike, rustige oornagstop met vriendelike mense en 'n verwelkomende atmosfeer. So netjies met oog vir detail, alles wat jy nodig het, swembad silwerskoon en pragtig onderdak, handdoeke vir jakkals en swem tot jou beskikking. Braaigeriewe en diens was puik. Bestel sommer jou braaibykosse en vleis by hulle kroeg/restaurant. Mooiste uitsig oor die dam. Beslis die beste oorstop oppad Kaap toe, veel eerder as Colesberg.

It was a lovely, peaceful overnight stop with friendly people and a welcoming atmosphere. So neat with an eye for detail, everything you need, swimming pool spotless and beautifully covered, towels for fox and swimming at your disposal. Braai facilities and service were great. Simply order your barbecue side dishes and meat from their bar/restaurant. Most beautiful view of the dam. Definitely the best stopover on the way to the Cape, much more so than Colesberg.

Clean and tidy accommodation.

The rooms were very clean and neat. For an overnight stay, it was fine. I thought it was closer to the dam, but the view in the distance is lovely. The rooms' outside patio areas are very close together, and you don't quite get this in the photos. It will not suit you if you like your privacy. Our room was a 5-sleeper and was at the end of the house, which was better for us. It's about 5 steps from our patio to the jacuzzi, so very close together. A very friendly lady met us and opened the room for us. Our room didn't lock from the inside, so that would need to be seen to. Overall, a pleasant stay.

Dalk tyd vir opgradeer anders gaan dinge vinnig agteruit.

Bedde goed was dalk net opgemaak a.g.v. seisoendruk. Plek het so bietjie liefde en sorg nodig op klein goedjies. Jakkalsies bv. geut lek reg by kamer se deuringang. Braaiplek was mooi skoon.

Goeie oornag opsie.

Woonstel 1 was lekker ruim al het ons net 1 aand oorgeslaap oppad terug Gauteng toe. Die enigste kritiek wat ek het is die waterpomp wat naby die woonstel is en gedurig raas, so daar is nie baie stilte nie. As mense laat die aand in die Staaldak kuier en braai kan dit dalk steurend raak ook. Verder het die kinders die jacuzzi geniet en die uitkyk op die dam.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Good overnight option.

Apartment 1 was nice and spacious even though we only stayed 1 night on the way back to Gauteng. The only criticism I have is the water pump which is close to the apartment and is constantly making noise, so there is not much silence. If people hang out late at night in the Staaldak and braai, it might become disturbing too. Furthermore, the children enjoyed the jacuzzi and the view on the dam.

Lekker verblyf maar jacuzzi word nie aangesit nie en swembad is yskoud.

Die verblyf was baie lekker en ek hou baie van die aand ete waar ons ons eie vleis gekies het en self gebraai het. Die sonopkoms oor die dam was baie mooi. Ek wou die akkommodasie bespreek het. Die rede hoekom ek hierdie akkommodasie bespreek het, is omdat daar gestaan het dat hulle gebruik maak van sonkrag om die binne swembad sowel as die jacuzzi warm te maak. Ek het dus verwag dat die swembad darm net so effens lou sou wees, dit was nie. Dit was yskoud, so my kinders kon nie rerig swem nie. Ons het ook gevra dat hulle die jacuzzi sou aansit. Hulle het gesê hulle sal, maar het dit nooit gedoen nie. Die verblyf self was lekker, maar ek was bereid om die ekstra geld te betaal vir die swembad en jacuzzi, en dit het my baie teleurgestel.

Translate to English.

Nice stay but jacuzzi is not turned on and swimming pool is freezing cold.

The stay was very nice and I really like the evening meal where we chose our own meat and grilled it ourselves. The sunrise over the pond was very beautiful. I wanted to book the accommodation. The reason I booked this accommodation is because it said they use solar power to heat the indoor pool as well as the jacuzzi. So I expected the pool gut to be just that little bit lukewarm, it wasn't. It was freezing cold, so my kids couldn't swim properly. We also asked that they turn on the jacuzzi. They said they would but never did. The accommodation itself was nice, but I was willing to pay the extra money for the pool and jacuzzi, and I was very disappointed.

Die uitsig is pragtig, die water wat gedurende 'load shedding' nie beskikbaar is nie, is 'n probleem.

Gaste moet asseblief 'n dag of wat vooraf ingelig word dat daar geen water tydens 'load shedding' beskikbaar is nie — nie om toilette te trek nie, en ook nie om te drink of hande te was nie. Ons was gelukkig om nog 'n oop winkel te kry om 'n kan water te koop. Dit sal help as daar minstens 'n kan drinkwater in die eenheid beskikbaar is vir noodgevalle.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

The view is beautiful, the water not being available during load shedding is a problem.

Guests must be informed a day or so in advance that there is no water available during 'load shedding' — not for flushing toilets, nor for drinking or washing hands. We were lucky to find another open shop to buy a jug of water. It will help if there is at least a jug of drinking water available in the unit for emergencies.

Baie beïndruk.

Selfs beter as wat ons verwag het. Reën of sonskyn, die ideale akkommodasie vir 'n lekker braai (binne of buite). Swemgeriewe ook binne of buite, afhangend van die weer. Baie dankie vir die gerieflike akkommodasie.

Very impressed.

Even better than we expected. Rain or shine, the ideal accommodation for a nice braai (inside or outside). Swimming facilities also inside or outside, depending on the weather. Thank you very much for the comfortable accommodation.

Heerlike tyd in die mooiste plek!

Ons kon nooit dink dat daar by Gariepdam, wat ons tot nou toe beskou het as 'n oorslaapplek Kaap toe, so 'n mooi plek kan wees nie! Die binneshuise swembad en die pragtige uitsig oor die dam het ons mateloos beïndruk. Louis en haar man se diens was uitstekend! Die gemeenskaplike kombuis waarvan gaste kan gebruik maak is baie goed toegerus - alles wat ons nodig gehad het was beskikbaar. Ons beveel Fish Eagle Lodge met die grootste vrymoedigheid aan!

Great time in the most beautiful place!

We could never have imagined that at Gariepdam, which we considered until now as an overnight stop on the way to Cape, there could be such a beautiful place! The indoor swimming pool and the beautiful view over the dam impressed us beyond measure. Louis and her husband's service was excellent! The communal kitchen that guests can use is very well equipped - everything we needed was available. We recommend Fish Eagle Lodge with the utmost confidence!

Ongelooflike uitsig van die kamer af met 'n baie lekker binneswembad en jacuzzi.

Op pad terug Pretoria toe vanaf Mosselbaai het ek en my gesin (vrou en 2 kinders) by die akkommodasie oornag. Ons was vriendelik ontvang, ten spyte van die feit dat ons laat gearriveer het. Ek sal mense sterk aanbeveel om daar te oornag, maar maak seker jy arriveer voor sononder om die prag van die landskap te geniet.

I would highly recommend people to spend the night there, but make sure you arrive before sunset to enjoy the beauty of the landscape.

Beslis die moeite werd.

Gasvrou baie vriendelik. Dalk moet julle net 'n klokkie sit by ontvangs, ek moes 'n paar keer roep voordat iemand my kom help het. Die uitsig is mooi oor die dam. Die swembad onderdak is fantasties. Al wat ons gepla het is die mense wat langs ons gebly het, die man het halfvyf die oggend kom staan en hoes op die stoep. Roker! Loop eerder weg en gaan rook en hoes waar jy nie ander steur nie. Vervang asb. die matras, beslis al uitgeslaap.

Hostess very friendly. Maybe you should just put a bell at reception, I had to call a few times before someone came to help me. The view is beautiful over the dam. The indoor pool is fantastic. All that bothered us were the people who lived next to us, the man came standing and coughing on the porch at half past five in the morning. Smoker! Instead, walk away and go smoke and cough where you don't disturb others. Please replace the mattress, definitely already slept in.

Vakansiebesoek op pad Kaap toe.

Baie netjies en skoon. Baie klein slaaparea, eie badkamer met stort. Gemeenskaplike eetlokaal, braai-area en swembad. Ons was gelukkig dat ons die gemeenskaplike area vir onsself gehad het. Sal probleem wees indien daar ander lawaaierige of slordige gaste is omdat almal van dieselfde area gebruikmaak. Ideaal as daar 'n groot groep mense saamreis.

Acceptable, but the shower was a problem as well as the water during load shedding.

Cute place, but unfortunately the open shower was one big mess. My wife took a shower and everything was wet and under water. The floor was under water so much that my daughter and I decided not to use it. They should have a shower door installed. . The other thing that was a surprise is that there is no water during load shedding. So the toilet cannot be flushed. Problem. . Apart from these two things, the guest house was good.

Baie rustig en aangenaam.

Heerlik gekuier. Warm water is 'n probleem, selfs die eerste persoon wat wou stort kon nie in warm water stort in die oggend nie. Daar is 'n gasstoof, maar nie 'n ketel wat gebruik kan word nie. Was bietjie onseker oor die breekgoed wat nie voorsiening maak vir die hoeveelheid mense wat die eenheid kan akkommodeer nie. Was bang dat ons verantwoordelik gehou kan word. Daar was net 4 wynglase, 4 teelepels alhoewel ons vir 5 persone geboek het. Ander breekgoed was meer as net 5, dus was dit maar verwarrend. Verder lieflike plek - baie skoon en gemaklik. Sal beslis weer wil gaan en ook aanbeveel vir ander. Websites se in/uit tye verskil sin - moet hersien word.

Had a great time. Hot water is a problem, even the first person who wanted to shower could not shower in hot water in the morning. There is a gas stove but not a boiler that can be used. Was a little unsure about the breakware that doesn't cater for the amount of people the unit can accommodate. Was afraid that we could be held responsible. There were only 4 wine glasses, 4 teaspoons even though we booked for 5 people. Other breakables were more than just 5, so it was just confusing. Also lovely place - very clean and comfortable. Would definitely go again and also recommend to others. Websites' in/out times differ meaning - should be reviewed.

Fine for a quick overnight, would not recommend for longer stays.

The establishment sadly didn't suit our requirements. The room we were allocated had no privacy as it looked straight onto the communal braai and swimming pool. However, it was a convenient stop between Durban and Cape Town.

Fish Eagle Lodge 's response

Good day Amanda

Thank you for your review. I am sorry that our establishment did not meet your needs.

Just to clarify, you did request the particular room and we do state on our establishment page that Rooms 1 to 5 all lead out onto the communal area. However, we do provide wooden screens for privacy.

Our self-catering unit might have been better suited.

Regards, Louise

Pragtige plek met 'n lieflike uitsig.

'n Fantastiese uitsig. Eienaars baie behulpsaam en gasvry. Alles was netjies en skoon. Enigste jammerte is die warm water om te stort. Eienaar het sy logistieke probleem met die watervoorsiening gedeel, ek voel jammer vir hulle daaroor. Ek sal enige tyd weer daar oorslaap.

Teleurstellend.

Kamers se hoofuitgang/uitsig loop almal uit op 'n gemeenskaplike stoep, so ook die badkamervensters, dus kan mens nie vensters of deure oopmaak tensy jy nie omgee dat enigeen jou sien nie. Geen alternatiewe krag nie, wat baie sleg is aangesien daar ook nie water is wanneer dit beurtkrag is nie, onaanvaarbaar vir gaste of vakansiegangers. Uitkloktyd, wat 9 uur is, is te vroeg. Beslis nie 'n bestemming om na terug te keer nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Disappointing.

Rooms' main exit/view all open onto a common porch, as do the bathroom windows, so you can't open windows or doors unless you don't mind anyone seeing you. No alternative power, which is very bad as there is also no water when load shedding, unacceptable for guests or vacationers. Check-out time, which is 9 o'clock, is too early. Definitely not a destination to return to.

Fish Eagle Lodge 's response

Goeie dag

Dankie vir u resensie, ek wil graag die volgende punte duidelik maak.

Die kamers loop wel almal uit op die gemeenskaplike swembad (Dit word ook so verduidelik wanneer u die kamer bespreek op die webtuiste) Daar is n hout "room devider" by elke skuifdeur wat gebruik kan word vir privaatheid as die deur oop staan.

Ons voorsien elke kamer en gemeenskaplike area van herlaaibare ligte, Daar is ook n kragopwekker wat aan geskakel word as Load shedding tussen 6:00 en 22:00 is.

Die load shedding was geskeduleer vir 22:00 tot 02:00 op die dag van u verblyf en ons voel dat dit n mors is om die kragopwekker aan te sit as al die gaste reeds slaap.

Groete

Daar was nie krag of water toe ons daar aangekom het nie.

Kamers was OK, maar kyk uit oor die swembad, waar almal rondloop, nie totale privaatheid nie. Hoewel die dame wat daar werk baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig is. Mooi uitsig en goeie geriewe.

Stunning views. Overpriced.

The view and furnishings may be beautiful but the fact that the walls are prefabricated material and are literally paper thin was a huge disappointment. I listened to every word of the conversation of our neighbors. Ridiculous to pay the price we did for that. I was, and still am, furious!

No privacy and no windows onto outside to get fresh air.

We had an uncomfortable sleep as the bed/mattress needs replacing - very old. The bedroom was very clean and the bathroom stunning. The bedroom door faces onto an indoor enclosed room where the other rooms also lead onto. The guests next door were sitting chatting until the early hours of the morning - one couldn't leave the door or window open for fresh air as it's right onto the same room where the other guests were sitting. Very expensive for this type of accommodation.

The place had excellent facilities, views and was exceptional.

Louise was excellent messaging us confirmation and expected load-shedding times. The unit was exceptionally clean and had all the facilities we required. The pools and general areas were very well maintained. My kids loved going between the jacuzzi and the heated pool. Then finally the views of Gariep dam were amazing with a bright orange sunset. Looking back we should have spent a day on the dam instead of only an overnight stay. This will be our plan for the next holiday! Would definitely recommend this property.

As the restaurant is no longer running the guests have generously been given the freedom of using the kitchen, crockery etc as well as the amazing indoor braai. Wood was also provided. The ladies looking after the place do a good job. The indoor pool with a lovely view is set amongst the tables & couches in the covered verander which can be enclosed with folding doors. Each room has glass sliding doors onto the verander which can be noisy if other guests aren't considerate. Folding screens have been provided at each door for privacy.

Baie vriendelike ontvangs. Moeite word gedoen om jou welkom te laat voel. Dit was koud en het gereën toe ons daar kom en daar was nog beurtkrag ook, maar ons het steeds lekker, warm geslaap. Die uitsig oor die dam is baie mooi. Ek sal beslis weer by julle oorbly en ek sal julle beslis enige tyd aanbeveel.

Waarde vir geld!

Pragtige, netjiese eenheid. Al die vertrekke is ruim. Ons eenheid was privaat met sy eie braaigeriewe. Die beddens se matrasse is van hoë gehalte. Daar is 'n Jacuzzi wat aan was toe ons daar aankom en die kinders kon dit gebruik en geniet. Die binneswembad was bietjie koud, maar die kinders het nog steeds lekker baljaar! Dit was regtig waarde vir geld. Ons het dit vir al ons familie en vriende aanbeveel!

Beautiful, neat unit. All the rooms are spacious. Our unit was private with its own braai facilities. The beds' mattresses are of high quality.

We have recommended it to all our family and friends!

We stayed in Unit 6, which is one of the only self-catering units at Fish Eagle Lodge. We received a text message from the lodge before arrival. Booking in was a breeze. We stayed for a full week. The unit was clean on arrival, and it gets cleaned everyday there after. Unit 6 has the best view of the dam. We had access to the Jacuzzi, indoor pool and all the braai areas. I've already recommended Fish Eagle Lodge to a few people and I will continue to do so. We really didn't want to leave.

Afgeleë en rustig met 'n wonderlike uitsig van Gariepdam met 'n heerlike swembad.

Die kinders het die swembad geniet. Ons was amper die enigste mense daar maar ek kan dink dit sal nogal besig kan raak met meer gaste omdat die kamers almal langs mekaar sit en uitloop op die algemene speel en leefarea met 'n mooit swembad, 'n braaiplek en 'n Jacuzzi. Die bar was ongelukkig toe maar daar is 'n yskas in die kamer en 'n OK Mini Mark op die dorp so maak seker jy stop daar vir verversings voor jy lodge toe kom.

Secluded and peaceful with a wonderful view of Gariep Dam with a lovely swimming pool.

The children enjoyed the pool. We were almost the only people there but I can imagine it could get quite busy with more guests because the rooms are all next to each other and open onto the common play and living area with a nice swimming pool, a braai area and a Jacuzzi. The bar was unfortunately closed but there is a fridge in the room and an OK Mini Market in town so make sure you stop there for refreshments before coming to the lodge.

Stopover.

We initially booked a self catering family unit plus a room for my wife and I, months in advance, so that we could accommodate my adult son, daughter and ourselves for an overnight stop. Sometime later we were contacted by the lodge staying that they had inadvertently double booked the family unit but would give us the equivalent accommodation at the same cost, to which we agreed. On arrival however, we found that they offered two rooms and offered a refund of the balance meaning my adult son and daughter would have to share a bedroom and that the units were not self-catering but shared a common kitchen with all the other guests. After some discussion, it transpired that they had booked three rooms for us after discovering the double booking and so agreed to revert to that arrangement at the same price as promised. We remained disappointed that the kitchen had to be shared with strangers but later discovered that the other rooms were booked by people we know so that by chance turned out fine. The position and facilities are beautiful, there are wonderful views over the dam, the rooms are comfortable and there is plenty of room for maneuvering and parking of trailers, etc. The lady (owner?) manning reception was friendly and apologetic about the mix-up. The communal facilities are magnificent, however, in our opinion would be best suited to a group booking as the bedroom sliding "view" doors open directly onto the communal indoor pool and lounge (which are very close to the doors) and there is little privacy.

Gerieflik en netjies.

Ons het die verblyf netjies en skoon gevind en sal weer daar kom oornag. Al wat ons wel kan noem is dat daar dalk 'n ekstra tafel in die kamer, langs die koffie skinkbord gesit kan word, die spasie waarop mens kan werk om tee/koffie te maak is maar knap so op die bo-kant van die yskas.

We had a good overnight stay at Fish Eagle Lodge.

We arrived after their check-in time and they had a staff member wait to check us in which was very kind of them. We did not see any staff after that as it was an overnight stay on our way from Cape Town to Durban and we left early the next day.

Alhoewel dit baie netjies is, is daar geen ekstras wat die verblyf spesiaal maak nie. Geen koffie of tee ens. word voorsien nie, geen toiletware nie, slegs een klerehanger, ook nie spasie of iets om bagasie op neer te sit in kamers nie of toiletware in badkamer nie.

Geen privaatheid.

Die kamers se skuifdeure maak almal op die stoep oop waar die swembad is. Die swembad is omtrent 3 meter van die kamers af. Wanneer iemand swem of as jy in jou kamer sit of op 'n stoel buite jou kamer voel dit asof julle op mekaar is. Dit is ook raserig wanneer mense op die stoep kuier in die aand en jy in jou bed lê. Die kamers se binnemure is ook nie klankdig nie, jy kan jou bure hoor gesels, die TV hoor en ook wanneer hulle die badkamer gebruik.

No privacy.

The rooms' sliding doors all open onto the veranda where the swimming pool is. The swimming pool is about 3 meters from the rooms. When someone is swimming or when you are sitting in your room or on a chair outside your room it feels like you are on top of each other. It is also noisy when people are hanging out on the porch in the evening and you are lying in your bed. The interior walls of the rooms are also not soundproof, you can hear your neighbors talking, hear the TV and also when they use the bathroom.

Luukse verblyf teen 'n sakpasprys.

Ons was aangenaam verras met alles wat Fish Eagle Lodge teen 'n baie bekostigbare prys bied. Behalwe die pragtige uitsig oor die Gariepdam met 'n ongelooflike sonsondergang, is daar ook 'n verhitte onderdakswembad en 'n opelugborrelbad in 'n mooi tuin. Die kamers voel luuks met 'n groot, gerieflike bed en 'n ruim badkamer met bad en stort. Elke kamer het 'n skuifdeur wat op die onderdakontspanningsarea uitloop. Die binneversiering is professioneel en met groot sorg gedoen. Daar is 'n TV, yskas en WiFi in die kamer beskikbaar. Die kroegie en restaurant in die ontspanningsarea is op die oomblik as gevolg van Covid gesluit, maar gaan blykbaar in 2022 vergroot en heropen word. Ons sal Fish Eagle Lodge enige tyd aanbeveel as waarskynlik die beste verblyf by Gariepdam en sal definitief weer daar gaan oorbly.

Luxury accommodation at a pocket-friendly price.

We were pleasantly surprised with everything that Fish Eagle Lodge has to offer at a very affordable price. Besides the beautiful view over the Gariepdam with an incredible sunset, there is also a heated indoor swimming pool and an open-air hot tub in a beautiful garden. The rooms feel luxurious with a large, comfortable bed and a spacious bathroom with bath and shower. Each room has a sliding door that opens onto the covered recreation area. The interior decoration is done professionally and with great care. There is a TV, fridge and WiFi available in the room. The bar and restaurant in the leisure area is currently closed due to Covid, but is apparently going to be enlarged and reopened in 2022. We would recommend Fish Eagle Lodge anytime as probably the best accommodation at Gariepdam and would definitely stay there again.

Beste uitsig in Gariep.

Wat 'n mooi gastehuis. Die onderdak swembad en Jacuzzi maak die verblyf sommer ekstra lekker. Kamers was mooi skoon en diens uitsekend. Hulle het nie ontbyt gedurende Covid bedien nie, maar ons kon van die kombuis en al sy toebehore gebruik maak. Hulle het ook 'n lekker binnebraai wat jy kan gebruik. Enigste negatiewe punt is die teëls om die swembad en in die badkamer is baie glad, so maak seker jou voete is goed afgedroog. Ons sal weer kom kuier.

They didn't serve breakfast during Covid, but we were able to use the kitchen and all its appliances. They also have a nice indoor grill that you can use. Only negative point is the tiles around the pool and in the bathroom are very slippery, so make sure your feet are well dried. We will visit again.

Wow - waarde vir geld - en 'n glimlag daarby!

Ons het by die Fish Eagle Lodge in Gariep oorgeslaap, as 'n halfpadstop Wes-Kaap toe. Ons het ons karavaan saamgesleep en het veilige verblyf gesoek waar ons die karavaan (yskaste) kan inprop deur die nag. Hierdie plek het alles gebied wat my gesin nodig gehad het - en nog meer. Voor ons aankoms het Louise vir ons 'n boodskap gestuur om te vra hoe laat hulle ons kan verwag. Toe ons daar stop het ons tjoef-tjaf ingeteken, en is ons na ons woonstel gewys. Die eenheid was netjies en skoon en het al ons verwagtinge oortref. Die kersie op die koek was die jacuzzi en die swembad reg by ons eenheid. Die kinders het hulself gate uit geniet. Daarna kon ons ontspan, 'n fliek geniet en lekker op vars linne gaan slaap. Daar is meer as genoeg pakplek, van die kombuis tot die slaapkamers, en meer as genoeg hangplek in die badkamer, veral vir almal se nat swemklere en handdoeke. Die kombuis bied alles wat ons nodig gehad het. Die personeel was baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Hierdie plek sal my gesin beslis weer sien. Dit is ideaal vir as jy 1 nag, of selfs n naweek/week hier moet oorbly. Die dorp en winkeltjies is gerieflik naby (nie vir loop nie, maar vir gou-gou ry). Klein en intiem.

Wow - value for money - and a smile at that!

We stayed overnight at the Fish Eagle Lodge in Gariep, as a halfway stop to the Western Cape. We towed our caravan with us and looked for safe accommodation where we could plug in the caravan (fridges) during the night. This place offered everything my family needed - and more. Before our arrival, Louise sent us a message to ask what time they could expect us. When we stopped there we signed in and were shown to our apartment. The unit was neat and clean and exceeded all our expectations. The icing on the cake was the jacuzzi and the pool right by our unit. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Afterwards we could relax, enjoy a movie and go to sleep on fresh linen. There is more than enough storage space, from the kitchen to the bedrooms, and more than enough hanging space in the bathroom, especially for everyone's wet swimwear and towels. The kitchen offers everything we needed. The staff were very friendly and helpful. This place will definitely see my family again. It is ideal if you have to stay here for 1 night, or even a weekend/week. The town and shops are conveniently close (not for walking, but for driving soon). Small and intimate.

Slegs as oornagslaapplek gebruik. Sal maklik langer daar kan bly.

Die plek is pragtig nuut en goed uitgelê. Daar is baie tyd en, ek dink, liefde spandeer om die gaste so gemaklik te kan hê as moontlik. Ek het ook lekker saam met ander gaste om die vuur gesit en gesels. Van hulle sal definitief vriende bly! Kamer is mooi en die badkamers besonders. Eintlik 'n ekstra kamer. My vrou het dit baie geniet en waardeer.

Only used as overnight accommodation. Could easily stay there longer.

The place is beautifully new and well laid out. There is a lot of time and, I think, love spent to make the guests as comfortable as possible. I also enjoyed sitting around the fire with other guests and chatting. Some of them will definitely remain friends! Room is beautiful and the bathrooms exceptional. Actually an extra room. My wife really enjoyed and appreciated it.

Dit was ons tweede keer in die woonstel met damuitsig en die ervaring was selfs beter as die eerste keer. Ons is baie vriendelik en spontaan ontvang. Die eenheid is ideaal om te oornag of selfs 'n dag langer te bly en die omgewing te verken. Ons sal beslis weer kom.

Goeie dag
Ek vertrou dit gaan goed.
Ons vra onverskoning oor die Jacuzzi wat nie gewerk het nie, dit was a.g.v. die pomp wat gegaan het, wat ons nie verwag het nie, dus ook nie voorsiening gemaak nie.
Ons weet ook met hierdie virus is 'n Jacuzzi baie onhigienes, veral met een so groot soos ons sin. Dit behels dat ons elke keer die water moet uit tap, skoonmaak en terugtap en verhit wat nogals 'n duur storie kan raak.
Stuur asb in die vervolg 'n boodskap om seker te maak dat hy wel in werkende toestand is, indien nie, kan ons dalk 'n plan of uitsondring maak.
Ons wil he julle moet julle tydjie by Fish Eagle Lodge geniet.
Verder is ek bly dat julle lekker gekuier het en sien uit om julle weer in die toekoms te sien.

Netjiese, bekostigbare gesinsverblyf met 'n lieflike uitsig.

Ons het in die groot familie-eenheid gebly, wat perfek was vir ons gesin van 4 en my 2 ouers. Die plek is puik ingerig, alles is skoon en netjies, en die personeel is vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die uitsig oor die dam is mooi, en die kinders het die Jacuzzi en binnenshuise swembad geniet.

Neat, affordable family accommodation with a lovely view.

We stayed in the large family unit, which was perfect for our family of 4 and my 2 parents. The place is superbly furnished, everything is clean and tidy, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The view over the pond is beautiful, and the kids enjoyed the Jacuzzi and indoor pool.

Awesome!

Wat 'n wonderlike ervaring. Was goed verras gewees met die plekkie, 'n ware oase so hoog teen die kop. Pragtige uitsig oor die hawe en dam. Sal definitief die plek aanbeveel vir toekomstige reisigers. Daai Jacuzzi was ook 'n verrassing.

Fantasties! Sal weer hier oorslaap.

Daar aangekom en ontmoet deur baie vriendelike en hulpvaardige dames. Ons het laat weet dat ons 10 minute na check-in daar sal wees en hulle was baie toegeeflik met hul tyd. Eenheid 6 was lekker privaat en ons kon die dam sien net soos op die foto's. Die eenheid self was baie mooi skoon. Alhoewel mens kan sien die beddegoed is nie meer splinternuut nie en die beddens raak bietjie sag. Lugversorgers was doodstil. Ons het ook gevra vir 'n restaurant voorstel en Tjaailatyd het nie teleurgestel nie. Ons het ook die volgende oggend op ons stoep gesit en die mooiste sonsopkoms oor die dam gesien terwyl ons koffie gedrink het. Ek wil graag volgende keer vir 2 aande oorslaap sodat ons ook die omgewing kan verken. Dit sal vir seker by Fish Eagle wees. Die bespreking was net so stresvry gewees soos die oorslaap.

Fantastic! Will stay here again.

Arrived there and met by very friendly and helpful ladies. We let them know that we would be there 10 minutes after check-in and they were very accommodating with their time. Unit 6 was nice and private and we could see the pond just like in the pictures. The unit itself was very nice and clean. Although one can see the bedding is no longer brand new and the beds are getting a bit soft. Air conditioners were dead silent. We also asked for a restaurant suggestion and Tjaailatyd did not disappoint. We also sat on our porch the next morning and saw the most beautiful sunrise over the pond while drinking coffee. I would like to stay over for 2 nights next time so we can also explore the area. It will be at Fish Eagle for sure. The booking had been as stress-free as the sleepover.

Goeie dag,

Wat die kroeg aanbetref, die plek is onder nuwe eienaars wat verkies om nie gebruik te maak van die kroeg nie, aangesien dit voor ander gaste se deur is.

See safety star rating. Suggest that sturdy hand rails be mounted on the wall at the shower for a safer access to and from the shower as the shower platform is raised +- 20 -25 mm, and can result in a slip and fall incident, as the shower is not closed and the bathroom floor is wet.

Fish Eagle is reg as jy net vir 1 nag oorslaap. Glad nie geskik vir ’n gesin van meer as 2 mense nie.

Die plek is nie te aardig, maar ek het verwag dat ek 'n tweeslaapkamer-eenheid met 'n badkamer sou kry. Ons was 3 grootmense wat 2 klein kamers moes deel. Ons badkamer was ook in die gang, wat dit baie ongemaklik gemaak het.

Fish Eagle is ok if you are only staying for 1 night. Not at all suitable for a family of more than 2 people.

The place is not too nice, but I expected to get a two bedroom unit with a bathroom. We were 3 adults who had to share 2 small rooms. Our bathroom was also in the hallway, which made it very uncomfortable.

Lovely view, clean and adequately furnished rooms, nice pool and Jacuzzi. Privacy is an issue.

Really beautiful, panoramic view, especially from communal pool area. Bedrooms/bathrooms adequately furnished and clean. No available adaptor, or available socket for that matter for phone charging. Very odd building layout in the sense that most bedrooms face via a sliding door onto the indoor communal/pool area. There is thus zero privacy and no dam view if curtains are closed. And noisy if people are using communal area. This is better suited for a big group for which this is no problem. Presumably due to Covid there was also no one on site for service or refreshments or breakfast.

Stop over on the way back from Cape Town.

We stayed overnight on our way home from Cape Town. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable and the recommendations for dinner were great. We, however, did not manage to get a good night's rest as the guests booked in 2 other rooms drank and made a racket in the pool area and outside until 1am. I did not see any signage requesting noise levels to be kept to a minimum at certain hours and understand that there is a social area, but this put a damper on our stay. I would recommend this to groups who would like a mini break away and want to visit together, but definitely not for a stop over before a long day's travel.

Baie plek vir verbetering.

Hanlie was baie vriendelik en verwelkomend. Wat die plek egter betref, ons het die verkeerde kamer gekry, nr 5 met 'n dubbelbed i.p.v. nr 4 met 'n koninginbed, badkamers was ook baie anders, stort-bad wat baie lek, i.p.v. net 'n groot stort soos kamer 4 s'n. Toe ons daar kom was daar reeds mense in die kamer wat ons geboek het en daar was vir ons gesê dat ons hulle self kan vra om te skuif (wat ons nie gedoen het nie). Ons verstaan dat die plek onder nuwe eienaarskap is, maar die kroeg was toe. Daar was gesê dat hul wel 'n lisensie het, maar dat hul wag vir vorige eienaars om hul goed uit te trek voordat hul dit weer oopmaak. Die uitsig was mooi, behalwe vir die bourommel anderkant die draad wat die munisipaliteit nog moet skuif. Ons voel ons het heeltemal te veel betaal vir wat ons gekry het, omdat daar fasiliteite geadverteer word en as jy daar kom is dit nie beskikbaar nie. Hanlie het wel geoffer om afslag te gee vir as ons weer bespreek, maar ongelukkig sal ons nie weer daar boek nie. Dis 'n jammerte, want die plek het soveel potensiaal.

Lots of room for improvement.

Hanlie was very friendly and welcoming. However, as for the place, we got the wrong room, no. 5 with a double bed instead of No. 4 with a queen bed, bathrooms were also very different, shower-bath that leaked a lot, instead of just a big shower like room 4's. When we got there there were already people in the room we booked and we were told that we could ask them to move ourselves (which we didn't). We understand that the place is under new ownership, but the bar was closed. It was said that they did have a license, but that they were waiting for the previous owners to move their stuff out before opening it again. The view was beautiful, except for the construction debris on the other side of the wire that the municipality has yet to move. We feel we paid far too much for what we got, because facilities are advertised and when you get there they are not available. Hanlie did offer to give a discount if we book again, but unfortunately we will not book there again. It's a shame, because the place has so much potential.

Gemiddeld tot sleg.

Geen slaap tot na 12 uur nie - ons het net kom oornag, maar die ander gaste het geweldig geraas en gedrink. Bestuur was afwesig en het nie ingetree nie. Vir die prys, nie so goed nie - die bedlampies nie ingeprop nie en ons moes self soek vir die proppe. Geen sjokolade of sepie nie. Ons het vir R 550 gebly waar ons iets op die kussing ontvang het en sepie en handeroom. Omdat ons laat was a.g.v. verdwaal om die dam en 'n tekort aan aanwysingsborde was ons ontvangs kil, wat jammer is, want hierdie is 'n baie mooi plek met 'n mooi uitsig. Het darem lekker geswem. Aanbeveel? Ek weet nie - ek twyfel.

Average to bad.

No sleep until after 12 o'clock - we only came to spend the night, but the other guests were making a lot of noise and drinking. Management was absent and did not intervene. For the price, not so good - the bedside lamps were not plugged in and we had to search for the plugs ourselves. No chocolate or soap. We stayed for R 550 where we received something on the pillow and soap and hand cream. Because we were late due to lost around the dam and a lack of signposts our reception was chilly, which is a shame because this is a very nice place with a nice view. At least had a nice swim. Recommended? I don't know - I doubt it.

Goeie Dag

Ek vertrou dit gaan goed.
Lees asb in die vervolg ons lodge se webtuiste deeglik deer.
Ons het nog nooit van tevore n klagte ontvang oor onduidelike direksie borde ens nie.
Daar is n "location" op die webtuiste wat een en elke gas gebruik wat nog nie vantevore hier was nie.
Die lodge is selfsorg met die mooiste uitsig, verhitte swembad, jacuzzi, kombuis, binne-braai, lapa en nog vele meer. Ongelukkig bied ons nie sjokolades ens nie, lees in die vervlog deer en kies n plek wat vir jul handeroom en sjokolades sal gee.
Ons probeer om al ons gaste so gemaklik en gelukkig moontlik te hou, ongelukkig kan julle nie van my verwag om 12h die aand nogsteeds by die lodge te wees nie? Ek het so tese elke aand gaste, naweke is dit vol, wat beteken dat ek elke liewe dag en elke liewe naweek vanaf oggendure tot middernag of 24/7 moet wakker bly?

Groete

Lekker geslaap.

Nie 'n baie warm verwelkoming nie. Bedompige reuk in badkamer. Geen sjampeo, lyfroom. Wel 'n spuit kop-botteltjie Dettol vloeibare seep wat reeds gebruik was. Ons het beter verwag.

Skoon, redelike verblyf.

Daar is niks fout met die verblyf nie maar ons wil die volgende uitlig: parkering vir voertuie is nie agter geslote hekke nie, vrye toegang vir enige een. Die tarief is hoog vir die standaard van die verblyf.

Nie soos verwag nie.

As jy opsoek is na basiese en sakpas akkommodasie sal jy hiervan hou. Die foto's op die internet is uit die beste moontlike hoeke geneem en bietjie misleidend. Geen vensters in die kamer nie en die agterdeure van die kamer loop uit op die eetarea, so dis ook nie baie privaat nie. Ek sou sê die verblyf is dalk vir werksoorslaap ideaal. Ek sal dit volgende keer vermy.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Not as expected.

If you are looking for basic and pocket friendly accommodation you will love this. The photos on the internet are taken from the best possible angles and are a bit misleading. No windows in the room and the back doors of the room open onto the dining area, so it's not very private either. I would say the accommodation might be ideal for a work sleepover. I will avoid it next time.

Goeiedag
Ek vertrou dit gaan goed.
Ons fotos stem ooreen met hoe die kamers lyk, asook die ligging, en daar word aangedui dat kamer 1 tot kamer 5, standaardkamers, uitloop na ontspanningsarea.
Vanselfsprekend deel almal die ontspanningsarea. Nerens op ons webtuiste staan daar, of wys daar dat die kamers vensters het nie, slegs die badkamers, aangesien elke kamer 'n massiewe skuifdeur het. Onthou om in die toekoms die beskrwying van die lodge, asook ander oornag plekke, deeglik deer te lees om teleurstelling te vermy.

Nie aan verwagtinge voldoen nie.

Dit was 'n onaangename verblyf. Vier jong persone het op die trappe net buite die swemarea gesit en rook, drink en hardop gesit en gesels van dat ons ingeboek het en totdat ons slaap het. 'n Mens kan ook nie vroeg gaan slaap nie, want die gesprekke hou aan en die ligte in die swemarea word eers 10 afgeskakel. Hierdie akkommodasie is na my mening net goed vir groepe wat saam kuier. Daar is ook nie braaigeriewe nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Not meeting expectations.

It was an unpleasant stay. Four young people sat on the steps just outside the swimming area smoking, drinking and talking loudly from the time we checked in until we went to sleep. One cannot go to bed early either, because the conversations continue and the lights in the swimming area are only turned off at 10. In my opinion, this accommodation is only good for groups visiting together. There are also no braai facilities.

Goeie Dag

Ek vertrou dit gaan goed.
Vanaf eienaar en bestuur kan ons nie onverskoning vra vir die geraas nie, want een en elke gas het die reg om alle geriewe te gebruik, lekker te kuier en hulle tydjie by ons te geniet. Die ligte sit ons af 10h, of sodra almal klaar gekuier het. Die lodge is selfsorg en sal dus nie vanpas wees om vir gaste wat kuier te se dat hulle moet gaan slaap, omdat ander gaste wil slaap nie. Elke gas is self verantwoordelik om na bestuur te gaan indien daar ongeriewe is wat teen die reels is ens. Jul moes die beskrywing van die lodge deeglik deergelees het.
En wat die braaigeriewe betref, nog nie een gas het gekla en gese daar is nie braaigeriewe nie, want daar is, en dit weet elke gas.
Daar is n binnebraaai met braaigeriewe, boma met braaigeriewe, lapa met baie sitplekke en 2 braaiers met braaigeriewe, as mens nie weet waar iets is nie, vra mens gewoontlik in plaas van om n slegte resensie te los.
Al ons gaste is gelukkig sover my kennis strek, en die wat wel klagtes het, hanteer dit met bestuur en ons soek n oplossing wat almal tevrede sal stel. Ons plekkie is reeds vir diegene wat net lekker wil ontspan en dit wil geniet sonder ongevraagde perke.
Al ons gaste betaal dieselfde prys en ontvang dieselfde diens.

Heel aangenaam.

Daar is 'n pragtige onderdak-swembad sowel as 'n borrelbad buite. Toe ons daar gearriveer het, was dit redelik koud (alhoewel dit einde November was). Ongelukkig was die water nie behoorlik warm nie, so ons het nie die swemfasiliteite gebruik nie, maar glo dit sal baie lekker wees onder ander omstandighede. Ons het ook verstaan mens kan ontbyt kry op perseel, maar dit was toe nie so nie. Maak dus net seker vooraf of etes beskikbaar is indien dit vir jou belangrik is. Daar is wel braaigeriewe vir gaste, en restaurante redelik naby. Wees ook bewus dat elke kamer wel 'n aparte deur het, maar dat alle deure uitloop op die swemarea. Iets anders wat ek ook wil noem, is dat die stort groot en oop is, maar dat die vloer baie glad is nadat mens gestort het, en mens baie versigtig moet wees om nie te gly nie (dis nou kamer 4 spesifiek).

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Very pleasant.

There is a beautiful indoor pool as well as an outdoor hot tub. When we got there it was pretty cold (even though it was late November). Unfortunately the water wasn't warm enough so we didn't use the swimming facilities, but believe it would be very nice under different circumstances. We also understood that you could get breakfast on site, but it was not like that at the time. So just make sure in advance whether meals are available if this is important to you. There are braai facilities for guests, and restaurants quite close by. Also be aware that each room does have a separate door, but that all doors open onto the swimming area. Something else I would also like to mention is that the shower is large and open, but that the floor is very slippery after showering, and you have to be very careful not to slip (it's now room 4 specifically).

Dis ons tweede oorslaap by Fish Eagle Lodge. Dis elke keer lekker!

Dit is uiters skoon en baie rustig. Lugreëlings werk en is definitief nodig in die hitte van ons somers. Ongelukkig was die yskas nie aangeskakel nie en was heeltemal ontvries. Dit het die grootste deel van die aand gevat om koud te word en was 'n probleem vir die kaas en ander produkte wat koud gehou moes word. Die Gasvrou het groot om verskoning gevra en vir ons ys gebring om solank te probeer help. Andersins was alles perfek - baie dankie!

It is extremely clean and very peaceful. Air conditioners work and are definitely needed in the heat of our summers. Unfortunately the fridge was not switched on and was completely defrosted. It took most of the evening to get cold and was a problem for the cheese and other products that needed to be kept cold. The Hostess apologized profusely and brought us ice cream to try to help in the meantime. Otherwise everything was perfect - thank you very much!

Pleasant overnight stay with great view

Under new owner/manager since June 2020. Exceptionally clean with great view and sparkling indoor pool. Room airconditoned with fan as well, bar fridge, plenty of hot water with decent shower pressure, plenty of off street parking. Bar closed, so take own drinks. Breakfast not included in rate, but can be arranged by prior arrangement. Braai facilities available.

Een aand oorgeslaap met 'n klein baba.

Die kliente diens was terrible. Die kamers is geskei met dry wall - so mens hoor letterlik als wat langsaand aangaan. Mense langs ons was dronk en baie loud, dit het ons en ons 10 maande babatjie wakker gehou. Ons was 1 uur daar en kon nie vroeër ingeklok het nie, dit het gereën, ons was moeg, na ek met die baie onprofesionele bestuurder 'n paar woorde gehad het, het sy ons toegelaat.

One night slept over with a small baby.

The customer service was terrible. The rooms are separated with dry wall - so you literally hear everything that goes on at night. People next to us were drunk and very loud, it kept us and our 10 month old baby awake. We were there for 1 hour and could not have checked in earlier, it was raining, we were tired, after I had a few words with the very unprofessional manager, she allowed us.

Geen privaatheid nie. Die mure is so dun ek moes heelnag luister na iemand se gesnork.

Die foto's op die webtuiste en die realiteit stem nie ooreen nie. Ander gaste het voor ons skuifdeur sit en kuier, gevolglik moes ons die gordyne toehou van begin tot einde. Ons kon vir R130 meer by 'n ander hotel gebly het met 'n baie beter ervaring. Ek voel die plek is oorprys.

No privacy. The walls are so thin I had to listen to someone's snoring all night.

The photos on the website and the reality do not match. Other guests were sitting and visiting in front of our sliding door, so we had to close the curtains from start to finish. We could have stayed at another hotel for R130 more with a much better experience. I feel the place is overpriced.

Serenity with a good view of the Gariep Dam makes a perfect midway stop for a drive from Gauteng to the coast PE/CT.

The lodge is exactly as advertised. The clean and well kept luxury suites provide a view overlooking the Gariep Dam which adds to a sunrise and sunset of tranquillity. Its location at the top of a quiet small town forms a great way to stop over and refresh along a long drive to the coast. We received a warm welcome and the hosts were helpful with any information a visitor to the town would need. We'll definitely be back to explore the entertainment and activities the town provides. Since we just stayed one day to refresh, we didn't get to do much but there are lots of activities for a weekend getaway. The lodge also has its own indoor entertainment area with a swimming pool which we didn't get to use because of chilly weather. I'd highly recommend the place overall.

Dit was 'n lafenis om hier te kon oornag!

Dit was so lekker om by hierdie ruim, skoon en netjiese blyplek aan te kom na 'n lang en warm pad! Ons is vriendelik ontvang deur die eienaar en dadelik na ons blyplek geneem. Dit lyk nog splinternuut en skoon en het 'n pragtige uitsig oor die dam. Dit was 'n lafenis om lugreëling in die kamers te hê en ons het heerlik geslaap en goed uitgerus vir die res van ons terugtog huis toe. Dankie vir heerlike oornagverblyf.

Ons het heerlik gekuier, al was dit net een aand. Volgende keer kuier ons bietjie langer. Pragtige uitsig oor die dam.

Ons was baie aangenaam verras. Lyk nie na veel vanaf die straat nie, maar binne is dit 'n ander storie. Ons is vriendelik ontvang en dadelik tuis laat voel. Die vyf-slaapplek-eenheid was heerlik ruim - net wat ons nodig gehad het. Gerieflike braai-area langs die eenheid. Dit was redelik winderig, maar niemand kan dit beheer nie. Ideaal vir 'n heerlike, rustige oornagkuier.

We had a great time, even if it was just one night. Next time we visit a little longer. Beautiful view of the dam.

We were very pleasantly surprised. Doesn't look like much from the street, but inside it's a different story. We were kindly received and immediately made to feel at home. The five bedroom unit was wonderfully spacious - just what we needed. Comfortable braai area next to the unit. It was pretty windy, but no one can control that. Ideal for a lovely, peaceful overnight stay.

Alles netjies en skoon en ontvangs vriendelik, maar nie woonstel gekry wat ons bespreek het nie.

Ons het woonstel bespreek vir 3 persone, maar by ons aankoms ingelig dat hulle nie vol is nie, en eerder vir ons 2 kamers gaan gee met uitsig op die dam, wat "beter" is. Ongelukkig maak die skuifdeur van die kamer oop op die ontspanningslokaal wat uitsig op die dam het. Dit beteken dat 'n mens geen privaatheid het nie, omdat jou kamer oop is vir almal in die ontspanningslokaal om in te sien. Die enigste vars lug as mens die deur toemaak in die nag, is via die lugreëlaar wat nie werk met beurtkrag nie. Die kamer was dus bedompig deur die nag en as daar raserige gaste sou wees in die ontspanningslokaal sou dit 'n nagmerrie wees.

Translate to English.

Everything neat and clean and reception friendly but did not get apartment we booked.

We booked an apartment for 3 people, but upon arrival they were informed that they were not full and would rather give us 2 rooms with a view of the dam, which is "better". Unfortunately, the sliding door of the room opens onto the recreation room that overlooks the dam. This means that you have no privacy because your room is open to everyone in the relaxation room to see. The only fresh air when you close the door at night is via the air regulator that does not work with load shedding. So the room was stuffy throughout the night and if there were noisy guests in the relaxation room it would be a nightmare.

Marina,
Julle het n woonstel agter bespreek met een stort.
Ons het julle twee kamers aangebied met eie badkamers, dam uitsig en swembad, geen ekstra koste?
Hoekom het julle nie gevra vir die woonstel nie ?
Daar is gordyne voor die skuifdeur, geen probleme voorheen gerapporteer nie.

Pragtige uitsig!

Hulle het ons gratis opgradeer vanaf 'n woonstel na Unit 6 wat baie gaaf was. Mooi netjiese en moderne eenheid met pragtige uitsig. Vinnige WiFi. Hulle het ongelukkig eers ons geiser aangesit 18:00 toe ons arriveer, so ons moes langer as 'n uur wag vir warm water wat bietjie sleg was met 2 klein kindertjies. Die eenheid, linne en handdoeke het ook ongelukkig na sigaretrook geruik. Ek sal egter nog steeds Fish Eagle Lodge voorstel vir 'n oornagplek. Baie mooi.

Beautiful view!

They upgraded us for free from an apartment to Unit 6 which was very nice. Nice neat and modern unit with beautiful view. Fast Wi-Fi. Unfortunately, they only turned on our geyser at 18:00 when we arrived, so we had to wait more than an hour for hot water which was a bit bad with 2 small children. The unit, linen and towels also unfortunately smelled of cigarette smoke. However, I would still suggest Fish Eagle Lodge for an overnight stay. Very pretty.

Good stopover accommodation.

Clean and comfortable accommodation. Received a friendly welcome, even though we arrived a bit late. Room a nice size. Only challenge was that our bathroom was outside the room, which isn't nice, if you need to get up in the middle of the night. We did see other rooms with nice en-suite bathrooms, so this might only apply to the family room. Beautiful view of the dam. You need to book breakfast if required. Not a lot of eating places for dinner in the town, but the family restaurant we went to, was adequate, with good food. This is a nice, clean, safe, stopover spot, if you are driving from Cape Town to Gauteng. We will definitely go there again!

Bietjie teleurgesteld met wat uitgebeeld word en wat jy kry.

Die foto's wys 'n pragtige lodge met swembad, bar en view van Gariep. Ons het aanvaar ons sal nie 'n uitsig hê by ons eenheid, maar nie gedink ons gaan agter die lodge se garages bly nie. Die eenhede in die lodge is aanvaarbaar. Die eenheid wat ons in gebly het is skoon en netjies, maar dit is baie meer oudtyds as wat dit voorkom op die foto's. Bietjie moderne detail sal dit meer aanvaarbaar maak vir die prys wat hulle gevra het. Die prys vir 3 mense om basies in 'n buitekamer te slaap was vir ons glad nie waarde vir geld nie. As dit goedkoper was kon ons nog die pil sluk. Voel ingedoen.

A little disappointed with what is depicted and what you get.

The photos show a beautiful lodge with swimming pool, bar and view of Gariep. We assumed we wouldn't have a view from our unit, but didn't think we'd be staying behind the lodge's garages. The units in the lodge are acceptable. The unit we stayed in is clean and tidy, but it is much more old-fashioned than it appears in the photos. A little modern detailing would make it more acceptable for the price they were asking. The price for 3 people to basically sleep in an outside room was not value for money at all for us. If it was cheaper we could still swallow the pill. Feeling put in.

Die eenheid wat julle bespreek het, het spasie, netjiese dubbelbed, enkelbed, stort, DSTV,kombuis en lugreëling, en kan nie beskryf word as 'n buitekamer nie. Ons vra geen fooie om die swembad en braai geriewe te gebruik nie die prys sluit alles in. Die prys is hoog weens die lugreëling wat die heeldag aan is.

Uitgerus het ons die volgende dag ons reis voortgesit toe ons meegedeel is dat ons perongeluk een van die lodge se kussings ingepak het en daarvoor moes opdok. Dit was nogal effe onaangenaam.

Hostess very friendly. The smoke smell hanging in the foyer is not acceptable. Shifted guests around without complete information.

Die rook reuk wat in die voorportaal hang - Gaste het gebraai en los die deur oop .
Ons het nie nodig om n veiligheidshek te skenk nie, het infrared kameras om die huis .
Wil graag ons gaste veilig - tuis laat voel.

Nie regtig wat ek verwag het nie.

Die foto's wat op internet was het my 'n hele ander idee gegee. Dit was wel skoon, maar nie wat ek verwag het ons gaan kry nie.

Not really what I expected.

The pictures that were on the internet gave me a completely different idea. It was clean, but not what I expected we would get.

Niks om oor opgewonde te raak nie!

Stort was verstop met geen rakkie of enige plek om jou seep op neer te sit nie. Met aankoms was daar niemand by ontvangs nie en het ook nie foon geantwoord nie. Gelukkig het die eienaar of bestuurder later daar aangekom en kon ons sleutel kry. Kamer ook aan agterkant van die Lodge tussen die boothuise.

Nothing to get excited about!

Shower was clogged with no shelf or anywhere to put your soap on. On arrival there was no one at reception nor did they answer the phone. Fortunately, the owner or manager arrived later and was able to get our key. Room also at the back of the Lodge between the boathouses.

Dame, U het die kamer agter die Lodge bespreek, die website lees geen dam uitsig nie.
Het u die probleem gerapporteer? As gaste stil bly sal ons nie daarvan weet nie.
Baie dankie ons sal na die problem kyk.

Groete,
Maria
