Nice and quiet.
Nice stay, but I would have liked a comfortable couch in the living room. The 2 bucket seats are terribly uncomfortable. I also feel that the price of R190 per person for a buffet breakfast is excessive for what you get. The putt-putt course has been neglected and can be cleaned daily. The pool and area around the pool are beautiful!

Beautiful place, very good location, but not so well maintained anymore.
Blyderivier Resort is a very nice place, very nice accommodation, but I sense that the management is starting to neglect the place and that "quality control" has relaxed. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I checked in on a Sunday afternoon. To give an example, the putt-putt course needs serious maintenance and at least the workers could at least blow it clean daily with a leaf blower, but in my opinion it might only be done one day a week. There are also a few other little foxes that the management will have to pay attention to in order to prevent the resort from following the same path as Eskom. That said, the location is great, the views are fantastic, plenty of walking paths (which I couldn't walk due to time constraints). There is a lot to do, it is a very nice resort and I was sorry I could only spend one night there.

Some of the facilities need renovation, such as the putt-putt course. The shop is well equipped. The staff are friendly and helpful. We do miss a bottle of gin and a bottle of whiskey. The outstanding negative is the pesky baboons. Someone is going to get hurt!

Less fun than we expected for the money.
Shower was in bad order. No 'extras' that I would expect, eg regular cutting board was missing. Staff were friendly and responded quickly to light bulb failure and brought extra towels. The website offers boat trips, but on inquiry it is at Swadini (90km away) the restaurant gets zero stars, the service was beyond bad. Food was reasonable and so were the prices.

Stay was nice. Only the bedrooms of the self-catering units' curtains are private. The kitchen overlooks the bedroom, no privacy. Everyone can see from there into your bedroom if your kitchen's interior door is open. Forever Resort should please all units' curtains replaced with thicker privacy curtains.

Well-kept, neat accommodation.
The resort is well cared for with beautiful lawns and clean swimming pools. Our chalet was very clean and the bed was of good quality, we slept well on the mattress, also good linen. The view of the Three Rondavels was unfortunately poor due to cloudiness. Our breakfast in the Kadisi restaurant was very nice. We will go back for sure, was just there for one night, but it would be nice to relax there for about 3 days.

Well furnished.
The units were well furnished, and very tidy. Where I think they can improve, is to get rid of the carpets, it's gross and the rooms have a musty smell. After day two, you don't really notice it anymore, but it's definitely not a good first impression. I was grossed out by the blanket too, we all know blankets are not always washed after each guest. The bedding is a bit dated. I had to have one of those armbands around my wrist at all time, which made me feel like I was at OppiKoppi a little bit. We did not want to wear it all the time, because we are not at a rock show or a festival. It's a very stupid thing to wear during your vacation. Otherwise we really enjoyed it very much, the reception staff were incredibly friendly, everything further was amazing we enjoyed our time very much.

Beautiful place and location.
Impossible to beat Blyderivierspoort's location and natural beauty. The buildings are beautiful and stone-built. Unfortunately the same cannot be said of the interior. 1. Stains on the blankets. Gross to try and sleep under it. 2. The carpets haven't been cleaned for at leas a year, full of stains. Wear shoes or slippers when you walk on the carpets. 3. Kitchen curtains are so thin you don't have any privacy. The people outside look right into your kitchen and your bedroom. 4. Guest accommodation with only 2 coffee sachets, 2 sugar sachets and no tea. At this price we expected much better quality and quantity. At the previous place we got much better service and much more for R400 per night. Beautiful place but unkempt.

Very pleasant place. The 4-star chalets are really nice to stay in.
The resort made a mistake with our stay. We booked through LekkeSlaap for 4-star chalets. Includes 2 bedrooms, double bed, single beds, kitchen, bathroom, lounge/TV, dining room. When we arrived at the chalet it was very small with 2 bedrooms with 4 single beds. Only kitchen with small table for 4. Immediately things did not look and feel right according to photos and description of LekkeSlaap. Children were hungry so we lit a fire so food could cook. Went back to reception and asked them to check as things did not match what we thought we had paid for. Receptionist went to management and after a while he came to apologize and gave us keys to other chalets. Apologized and said we could check and take our luggage, they would send cleaners to clean up at the first chalet. I am very grateful that they fixed it for us as soon as possible without stopping. The 4-star chalets are really very nice and we had a great time there. Will visit the resort again anytime and stay in 4-star chalets. The 3 star is not intended for family, especially not with children.
