Baie beindruk.

Baie lekker gekuier, met aankoms vriendelik en baie behulpsaam gewees, kamp terrein baie skoon en netjies. Wat ons die meeste beindruk het, was die ablusie blokke, silwer skoon en kan jy glo daar was toiletpapier. Kan hout en goedjies by die kiosk koop, daar is 'n lekker restaurant, lekker kos en 'n bar om die stoffies af te sluk. Sal vir seker weer gaan!

Very impressed.

Had a great time, was friendly and very helpful on arrival, campsite very clean and tidy. What impressed us the most were the ablution blocks, silver clean and can you believe there was toilet paper. Can buy wood and things from the kiosk, there is a nice restaurant, good food and a bar to swallow the dust. Will go again for sure!

Lieflike verblyf maar ongure gaste.

Gariep, a Forever Resort is 'n lieflike plek met baie mooi en gerieflike eenhede, fantastiese ligging met besondere uitsig oor die dam. Ons het dalk 'n slegte naweek gekies, maar daar was verskeie baie luid partytjies aan die gang met klipharde musiek, dronk geskreeu, taxis wat aangejaag kom met oorverdowende musiek, soveel so dat ons ontvangs teen half 11 die aand moes skakel om hul stil te maak. Siende dat dit vir ons 'n halfpad oorbly was, en ons reeds vroeg in die bed was, was hierdie regtig 'n onaangename ervaring en was ons dankbaar dat ons net een nag oorgebly het, aangesien die geraas vroegoggend weer net aangegaan het. Dit is jammer dat 'n lieflike verblyf hierdeur versuur is.

Lovely accommodation but unfriendly guests.

Gariep, a Forever Resort is a lovely place with very nice and comfortable units, fantastic location with a special view over the dam. We may have picked a bad weekend, but there were several very loud parties going on with loud music, drunken shouting, taxis rushing by with deafening music, so much so that we had to call reception at half past 11 in the evening to silence them. make. Seeing as it was a half-way stay for us, and we were already in bed early, this was a really unpleasant experience and we were thankful that we only stayed one night, as the noise only continued in the early morning. It's a shame that a lovely stay was soured by this.

Gerieflike oornag punt vanaf Gauteng.

Ons het ons luukse kamp baie geniet. Baie gerieflik om jou eie toilet, stort en kombuisie reg by jou woonwa te hê. Alles was baie netjies en skoon. Die geboutjie binne was baie netjies en modern oorgedoen. Sal dit beslis aanbeveel. As jy vanaf Gauteng reis, is dit die ideale oorblypunt. Jy kom betyds daar aan terwyl die son nog skyn.

Convenient overnight point from Gauteng.

We really enjoyed our luxury camp. Very convenient to have your own toilet, shower and kitchenette right next to your caravan. Everything was very neat and clean. The building inside was very neat and modern redone. Would definitely recommend it. If you are traveling from Gauteng, this is the ideal stopover point. You get there on time while the sun is still shining.

We were only there for the night but we were all impressed with the whole resort as far as tended gardens, cut lawns, great swimming pool and a pleasant meal at the restaurant were concerned. Our dam view chalets were in a prime position and very nice.

Pragtige oord met baie netjiese chalets. Die dam is regtig asemrowend mooi. Ons het 'n bootrit ook gedoen wat heerlik en bekostigbaar was. Sal vir seker weer hier oorstop oppad see toe. Ons het die natuurreservaat ook besoek en vreeslik baie springbokke gesien.

Ek het in die privaat woonwa staanplekke oornag.

Ja, die geriewe en park is pragtig en skoon. Die geboue van die privaat woonwa staanplekke is pragtig netjies en skoon. Die gehalte van die onderhoudswerk aan die geboue laat veel te wense oor. Blindings wat gebreek is, word nie vervang nie, en die afwerking van die vervangen ruite is slordig gedoen. Dit stel voor dat hulle gereeld die standvastigheid van die toilette nasien.

I spent the night in the private caravan pitches.

Yes, the facilities and park are beautiful and clean. The buildings of the private caravan sites are beautifully neat and clean. The quality of the maintenance work on the buildings leaves much to be desired. Blinds that are broken are not replaced, and the finish of the replaced panes is done sloppily. This suggests that they regularly mark the stability of the toilets.

While everybody can be busy with fun activities, you have everything around you on the premises: swimming, putt-putt, trampoline, tennis, walking, bike riding, and jogging.

Dit was 'n lekker oorslaap-aand. Die oord is baie netjies. Gelukkig het ons beurtkrag gehad om 20:00 en kon ons die miljoene sterre sien en waardeer. So, dankie vir die beurtkrag op die regte tydstip.

Slegte diens by die restaurant en koue water vir karavaan staan plekke.

Ons het na 7 ure se ry daar gekom en by die restaurant gaan eet. Dit het 2 ure gevat om kos vir 4 mense te maak, ten spyte daarvan dat daar net 3 tafels beset was. Die hele bestelling was ook verkeerd by die restaurant. Daar gelaat, terug karavaan toe, is die krag af. Probeer stort, toe was daar net 2 badkamers wat warm water gehad het. Dit was glad nie 'n plesier nie. Sal die plek nie aanbeveel nie.

Bad service at the restaurant and cold water for caravan stands.

We got there after 7 hours of driving and went to eat at the restaurant. It took 2 hours to make food for 4 people, despite there being only 3 tables occupied. The entire order was also wrong at the restaurant. Left there, back to the caravan, the power is off. Tried showering, then there were only 2 bathrooms that had hot water. It was not a pleasure at all. Would not recommend the place.

Verblyf hoogs aanbeveelbaar, netjies en skoon en kan kafee met sy lekker pizza.

Staanplekke met kragpunt is besonder mooi, netjies, en word deurlopend skoon gemaak. Amblusiegeriewe is pynlik netjies en skoon. Aktiwiteite in ons verblyftyd was goed, met Maddy wat die vakansiegangers goed aan die gang gehou het. Putt Putt-bane en kafee is baie netjies. Beste pizzas. Die Quenna Restaurant - Bistro is egter 'n ander storie. Wag 2,5 ure vir 'n "toasted" broodjie. Die pasta "specials (-50%) word opgelei met volprys. As ons dit nie uitgewys het aan kelner nie, glo ek, hy het nie daarvan geweet nie. Daar word ons meegedeel dat dit 'n bietjie langer neem want als word vars bedien. Alles seker behalwe die ou olierige skyfies wat ons uiteindelik gekry het. Geen eetgerei op die tafels nie. Wag 10 min en gaan vra toe maar self by die kombuis. Terwyl die bestuurderes daar staan, loop my ons tafel verby en ek vra vir hom of ons by hom kan bestel. Hy sê toe nee, hy is nie ons kelner nie en kan nie help nie. Ek vra die bestuurderes vir hulp, waarop sy die kelner se om te help. Hy reken toe hy het nooit gesê hy kan nie help nie (agter die bestuurderes se rug). Jammer dat die uiters swak diens en onprofessionele diens van die bistro ons laaste aand by die oord bederf het. Ons kelner het ons ook meegedeel dat hy die kelner en chef is, daarom die rede vir die lang wag vir kos en drankies. Nogsteeds kan ek die oord bestuur en elke werker daar bedank vir die harde werk om die oord so netjies en skoon te hou. Julle is puik. (Bistro uitgesluit. Julle diens is useless en onprofessioneel). Gevolgtrekking: Verblyf hoogs aanbeveelbaar, netjies en skoon en kan kafee met sy lekker pizza ondersteun. As jy uiters swak diens wil beleef en jou bloedruk wil opjaag, gaan "bederf" jouself en geliefdes by die bistro.

Accommodation highly recommendable, neat and clean and can cafe with its delicious pizza.

Pitches with a power point are particularly nice, tidy, and are continuously cleaned. Ambulance facilities are painfully neat and clean. Activities during our stay were good, with Maddy keeping the holidaymakers busy. Putt Putt courts and cafe are very neat. Best pizzas. However, the Quenna Restaurant - Bistro is a different story. Wait 2.5 hours for a "toasted" bun. The pasta "specials (-50%) are trained with full price. If we didn't point it out to the waiter, I believe he didn't know about it. We are told that it takes a little longer because als is served fresh . Everything sure except the old oily chips that we finally got. No cutlery on the tables. Wait 10 min and then go and ask the kitchen yourself. While the managers are standing there, my table walks past and I ask him can we order from him. He then says no, he is not our waiter and cannot help. I ask the managers for help, to which she tells the waiter to help. He reckons then he never said he could doesn't help (behind the managers back). Sorry that the extremely poor service and unprofessional service of the bistro spoiled our last night at the resort. Our waiter also informed us that he is the waiter and chef, hence the reason for the long wait for food and drinks.Still I can manage the resort and thank every worker there for the hard work to keep the resort so neat and clean. You guys are great. (Bistro excluded. Your service is useless and unprofessional). Conclusion: Accommodation highly recommendable, neat and clean and can support cafe with its delicious pizza. If you want to experience extremely poor service and want to get your blood pumping, go "treat" yourself and loved ones at the bistro.

Die oord is absoluut netjies onderhou. Dit is die skoonste wat ek ooit gesien het.

Die kampterrein het wel kampeerders gehad wat tot na 22h00 nog harde musiek gemaak het. Ek voel net dat sekuriteit 'n draai kan maak om sulke gedrag te kalmeer.

Mooi plek maar party vakansiegangers te raserig.

Dit is 'n baie mooi plek, lekker staanplekke en 'n pragtige aansig. Die sterre in die aande is lieflik. Dit is sentraal as mens Kaap toe gaan om te oornag, maar die mense in die chalets maak dag en nag lawaai, en niemand maak hulle stil nie. Ek hou van rustigheid, veral by 'n dam. Ek dink nie ek kan die plek aanbeveel nie. Die bestuur sal die raserige mense moet vasvat, anders gaan hulle baie ander vakansiegangers verloor.

Nice place but some vacationers too noisy.

It is a very nice place, nice pitches and a beautiful view. The stars in the evenings are lovely. It is central if you go to the Cape to spend the night, but the people in the chalets make noise day and night, and no one quiets them down. I like tranquility, especially by a pond. I don't think I can recommend the place. The management will have to clamp down on the noisy people, otherwise they will lose many other holidaymakers.

Die oord het ons aangenaam verras.

Die netheid van die oord en die professionaliteit en behulpsaamheid van die werknemers het ons baie beïndruk. Ons het die oord al 'n paar keer besoek en sal dit beslis weer doen.

Lekker Gariep.

Alles was 100% by Forever Resort Gariep. Die enigste probleem was die water in die eenheid, as kraan of toilet spoel, maak dit 'n groot geraas. Mens is deur die nag bewus selfs as die bure krane oopmaak of spoel. Neem aan dis die waterdruk. (Eenheid 41). Plekke is lekker ruim. Lieflike uitsig oor die dam!

Nice Gariep.

Everything was 100% at Forever Resort Gariep. The only problem was the water in the unit, when the faucet or toilet flushes, it makes a lot of noise. One is aware throughout the night even if the neighbors open taps or flush. Assume it's the water pressure. (Unit 41). Places are nice and spacious. Lovely view of the pond!

Staanplek, mooi geplaas, geriewe is skoon, swembad koud, maar skoon. Putt-putt-baan is mooi skoon en die trampoline is goed vir kinders. Die oord moet net oplet na gaste in rondawels se lawaai in die nag en toegang van taxi's wat in die oord rondry.

Vreeslike mooi plek, maar raserig.

Gariep is vreeslik mooi en lekker koud, maar die mense in die huisies word tot in die oggend ure gehoor waar hulle vreeslik lawaai maak en niemand maak hulle stil nie. Die geraas trek ongelukkig na die water se kant toe waar ons gekamp het. Ek moet se die kamp staanplek is baie mooi en die badkamers ook, maar die tweede keer toe ons daar kamp toe lê daar stompies rond. Waar dit, let wel, nie die oord se skuld is nie moet ek by sê. Die restaurant is ook vreeslik oulik met baie lekker kos. Sal ook net voorstel dat julle dalk die swembad water bietjie lou warm moet maak. Anders is die omgewing verskriklik mooi.

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

Terribly beautiful place, but noisy.

Gariep is very beautiful and nice and cold, but the people in the houses are heard until the morning hours where they make a lot of noise and nobody stops them. The noise unfortunately moves towards the water's side where we camped. I have to say the campsite is very nice and the bathrooms too, but the second time we camped there there were stumps lying around. Where this, mind you, is not the resort's fault I must add. The restaurant is also very cute with very good food. Would also just suggest that you should maybe heat the pool water a little lukewarm. Otherwise, the surroundings are incredibly beautiful.

Lekker geslaap.

Die oord is oud en verwaarloos en instandhouding word nie gedoen nie. 'Bruggie' oor kinderswembad is gebreek, kinders kan lelik seerkry. Stukke van die afgebreekte sement lê in die water. Huisie kort aandag, onderste deur na stoep word toegehou met 'n lepel! Huisie nr. 36. se gangteëls by badkamer is gebreek. Huisie is maar donker. Darem baie skoon en bed het lekker geslaap. Foto's is misleidend. Restaurant is maar effentjies. Sou dínk hulle sou 'n kragopwekker hê. Nie eens 'n olielampie tydens beurtkrag nie. Net 'n kers op die tafel neergeplak. Ons sal nie weer daar oornag nie.

Slept well.

The resort is old and neglected and maintenance is not done. 'Bridge' over children's pool is broken, children can get badly hurt. Pieces of the broken down cement lie in the water. Little house needs attention, bottom door to porch is closed with a spoon! Cottage no. 36.'s hallway tiles in the bathroom were broken. The house is dark. At least very clean and bed slept well. Photos are misleading. Restaurant is just a little bit. Would think they would have a generator. Not even an oil light during load shedding. Just stuck a candle on the table. We will not stay there again.

Onaangenaam, vuil, grillerig.

Die foto van die beddegoed en dit wat op beddens was verskil ongelooflik, die beddegoed op beddens was grillerig gewees. My man het opgestaan met insekbytplekke aan sy lyf wat hy vir seker nie voor die tyd gehad het nie. Die hoofslaapkamer se badkamer se stort dam so op jy kan nie stort nie. Dieselfde badkamer se lig werk glad nie. Die hoofslaapkamer se toilet was gebruik vir meer as urine en dit is nie ordentlik gespoel nie. Ek verstaan dit is nie 5-ster nie, maar basiese geriewe en higiëne behoort in plek te wees. Ons sal nooit weer van Gariep Dam se Forever Resort gebruikmaak nie en vir seker vir mense vertel om dit nie te gebruik nie weens die higiëne asook die kwaliteit van die verblyf.

Unpleasant, dirty, creepy.

The photo of the bedding and what was on the beds is incredibly different, the bedding on the beds was creepy. My husband woke up with insect bites on his body that he certainly didn't have before. The master bedroom's bathroom's shower clogs so you can't shower. The same bathroom light doesn't work at all. The master bedroom toilet was used for more than urine and it was not properly flushed. I understand it's not 5 star, but basic amenities and hygiene should be in place. We will never use Gariep Dam's Forever Resort again and for sure tell people not to use it because of the hygiene as well as the quality of the accommodation.

A wonderful experience we will always cherish.

What a fantastic surprise when we entered our little "home-away-from-home". A fantastic view from our veranda. So lucky to be there after so much rain filling the dam to "over-the -brim" experiencing so many years of drought! We were able to shoot fantastic photos of the "waterfall" flowing over the dam, including a the presence of a beautiful rainbow!

Pragtige oornagplek tussen Gauteng en die Kaap.

Was aangenaam verras met die netheid van die oord. Ons het 'n goeie nagrus gehad. Heerlik geëet by die restaurant. Die personeel is beslis trots op hulle werk. Welgedaan. Enigste probleem was die toiletlig in chalet no. 4 was buitewerking. En wanneer iemand stort drip daar water van die toiletlig af. Sal beslis Forever Resort Gariep aanbeveel.

Net 'n aand oorslaap is goed.

Ek het gedink ek bespreek 'n los staande eenheid, dis onduidelik op die webtuiste. Hierdie een was deel van n ry soos woonstelblok reg langs mekaar. Jy hoor jou bure stort en deure oopsluit, klink of hulle inkom by jou. Die eenheid is wel baie mooi met rooshout kaste en graniet en pragtig geteël en moderne badkamer. Mooi leer bank in die sitkamer met 'n lieflike uitsig op die dam. Daar is ook n braai en tuin meubels. Dit was erg winderig die tyd wat ons daar was kon nie buite sit of braai nie. Ons was teleurgesteld en het gedink my man kan visvang van die blyplek af en dat ek kon swem, maar daar is geen warm swembad nie. Die eenheid was skoon maar ek moes vra vir skoon deken - kan nie hier noem hoekom nie. So dit was aaklig. Daar was ook 'n groot raserige groep op die oord.

Just a night's sleep over is fine.

I thought I was booking a detached unit, it's unclear on the website. This one was part of a row like block of flats right next to each other. You hear your neighbors shower and unlock doors, sounds like they are coming in on you. The unit is very nice with rosewood cupboards and granite and a beautifully tiled and modern bathroom. Nice leather sofa in the living room with a lovely view of the pond. There is also a braai and garden furniture. It was very windy the time we were there, we couldn't sit outside or barbecue. We were disappointed and thought my husband could fish from the lodge and that I could swim, but there is no heated pool. The unit was clean but I had to ask for a clean blanket - can't say here why. So it was awful. There was also a large noisy group on the resort.

Rustig, baie gerieflik en 'n pragtige uitsig op die Gariepdam.

Ons was bespreek in die luxury chalets en die akkommodasie het ons verwagtinge oortref. Dis relatief onlangs gebou met afwerkings van gehalte. Die elektriese komberse op die beddens was baie welkom op 'n koue Karoo-nag. Die hoogtepunt was die uitsig op die dam self. Hoewel die oord se restaurant self gesluit was vir opknapping, is goeie etes in die konferensie-saal bedien deur vriendelike personeel.

Although the resort's restaurant itself was closed for renovation, good meals were served in the conference hall by friendly staff.

Great location, poorly maintained.

The location is amazing. The units and equipment is in a poor state. I was very disappointed. Furniture around the pool is very old and badly faded as well as dirty. The unit was spacious, but the beds were old and none of the doors leading to the outside area worked. The curtains had holes in them and are grey from age. The furniture was very dated and it appears to lack any form of maintenance. The shower also leaked completely. The state of the unit and facilities put a damper on our stay. The views are beautiful. The on-site restaurant did not have many of the menu items available either.

Geen diens en vuil chalets.

Ons het vroeër gearriveer as die inkloktyd. Ons het besluit om te gaan eet in die restaurant waar ons amper 'n uur en 'n half gewag het vir die kos. Net na 3 uur het ons die sleutels gekry vir die chalets. Toe ons by die chalets arriveer, het die personeel net begin om die chalets wat baie vuil wa,s begin skoonmaak. Ek het gevra om met die bestuurder te praat wat om verskoning gevra het omdat hul baie besig was en 2 meer mense gekry om te help. Die chalets was egter nie deeglik skoongemaak toe ons uiteindelik kon ingaan nie. Ons het al in die karavaanpark oorgeslaap, maar sal definitief nie weer die chalets bespreek nie. Oor die algemeen was die oord in 'n swakker kondisie as die vorige keer wat ons oorgeslaap het.

No service and dirty chalets.

We arrived earlier than the check-in time. We decided to eat in the restaurant where we waited almost an hour and a half for the food. Just after 3 hours we got the keys to the chalets. When we arrived at the chalets, the staff were just starting to clean the chalets which were very dirty. I asked to speak to the manager who apologized as they were very busy and got 2 more people to help. However, the chalets were not thoroughly cleaned when we were finally able to enter. We have already slept in the caravan park, but will definitely not book the chalets again. In general, the resort was in a worse condition than the last time we stayed.

Overnight stay at Forever Resort Gariep Dam is recommended.

The resort is beautiful with great facilities. Unfortunately we arrived late and had to leave the next morning which meant that we could not utilize all the facilities. The chalet, however, was well equipped and super clean. The only problem we had was that we arrived after the reception was closed for the day and our reservation was not on the list. It took some sorting out with the people at the gate.

Soos gewoonlik aangenaam en baie lekker behalwe vir die koue water.

Ons gebruik Gariep gereeld en kan nooit kla oor enige iets nie. Hierdie keer egter was daar 'n probleem met die warmwatersilinder wat hul nie kon uitsorteer terwyl ons daar was nie. Mnr. Adriaan Harper het my egter persoonlik gekontak en om verskoning gevra en ook vir ons 'n gratis prys gegee. Die diens by Gariep is baie professioneel en ek sal altyd daar oorslaap.

We enjoyed our stay and it was nice as usual, except for the cold water.

We use Gariep quite often and can never complain about anything. The last time, however, there was a problem with the hot water cylinder which they couldn't fix while we were there. Mr Adriaan Harper contacted me personally and apologised. He also gave us a free prize. The service at Gariep is very professional and I will always stay over there.

Pragtige view.

Ek en my vrou het 'n heerlike verblyf gehad saam met ons 2 moeders (over 80's) wat heel impressed was met die mooi view oor die dam. Die oord word goed onderhou en was mooi skoon en netjies oral waar ons was. Restaurant se personeel vriendelik en kos heel goed, dankie. Sien definitief weer binnekort op ons reise!

The resort is kept in a good condition and was beautifully clean and neat everywhere we went. Restaurant's staff was friendly and food was delicious, thanks. Will definitely see you soon again on our travels.

Lovely resort and good value for money with excellent bar and restuarant.

We visited the Forever Resort at Gariep Dam in the middle of winter so the resort was almost deserted. Regrettably the drought had caused the water level to drop drastically, almost to the point where the harbour is mostly empty with boats stranded out of water - nothing like the picture on the website. We had hoped for a boat trip on the dam but this was not on offer at the time we visited. However I think with normal water levels and during the holiday season this resort should be excellent.

Heerlike halfmerk stop - Worcester / Ermelo.

Ons het al vantevore ook by Gariep Resort gebly. Elke keer was dit 'n heerlike ontspanne tyd gewees. Chalets is goed ingerig, vir een nag of 'n week of meer. Hierdie keer het ons met n "huis trek" afgekom, en die vriendelike personeel het ons na 'n ander chalet geskuif wat die sleepwaens, motors en trek beter kon akkommodeer. Báie dankie, Gariep Resort!

Delicious half mark stop - Worcester / Ermelo.

We have also stayed at Gariep Resort before. Each time it had been a wonderfully relaxing time. Chalets are well appointed, for one night or a week or more. This time we ended up with a "home trek", and the friendly staff moved us to another chalet that could better accommodate the trailers, cars and trek. Thank you very much, Gariep Resort!

'n Heerlike oase.

Ons was sommer baie beïndruk met die oord by Gariep. Die chalet was pragtig, en met alles wat nodig is toegerus. Die swembaddens, trampoliens en put-put is in 'n goeie toestand. Volgende keer bly ons langer.

Winter in Gariep.

We stayed at Gariepdam in winter, so the dam was low, however our stay was cold but lovely, the place was clean, well kept, staff was friendly. They quickly tended to a problem we had with a blocked drain. Next time we will stay longer.

Ons was minder as 4 ure op die terrein, maar die badkamers was netjies en skoon.

Sekuriteit by die hek was oningelig oor ons verblyf-betalings en het ons meer as 30 minute laat wag voordat ons uiteindelik toegang gekry het.

Netjies, mooi maar onveilig.

Ons het 1 aand by Gariep, a Forever Resort, oorgeslaap. Die eenheid was netjies en goed toegerus. Gedurende die nag is by die eenheid langsaan ons ingebreek en niemand kon die aand verder slaap nie. Ons eie eenheid se kamervenster, kombuisvenster en skuifdeur het tekens getoon van vorige inbrake bv. glas wat nie pas by die res nie en stukkende venster wat met 'n ekstra stukkie glas bo-oor reggemaak is. Die hulp van die oord se sekuriteitspersoneel daardie nag was baie swak. Die polisie het bevestig dat ons eenheid en die eenheid langsaan gedurig by ingebreek word. Ons sal nie graag weer na hierdie oord wil terugkeer nie.

Neat but unsafe.

We stayed at Gariep, a Forever Resort for 1 night. Th unit was neat and well equipped. During the night there was a burglary at the unit next door and after that no one could sleep again. Our own unit's bedroom window, kitchen window and sliding door showed signs of previous burglaries, for example glass not matching the rest and broken window that was fixed with an extra piece of glass over it. The help of the resort's staff that night was very poor. The police confirmed that our unit and the one next door were frequently broken into. We wouldn't stay there again.

Baie rustig en stil in die aand.

Mense (dagbesoekers) wat by die swembad gekuier het los hul vullis net so op die gras. Hulle het baie lawaai met hul musiek en geen respek vir medemense nie en swem met gewone klere. Die aand was daar geen beligting (straatligte) in die karavaanpark nie en baie donker. Die restaurant is 'n groot pluspunt met vriendelike mense by ontvangs wat baie behulpsaam is. Aand was rustig en het goed geslaap.

Very peaceful and quiet in the evening.

People (day visitors) who visited the pool leave their rubbish on the grass. They are very noisy with their music and have no respect for fellow human beings and swim in plain clothes. In the evening there was no lighting (street lights) in the caravan park and it was very dark. The restaurant is a big plus with friendly people at reception who are very helpful. Evening was peaceful and slept well.
