The cottage was neat and clean. The beds were comfortable.
We didn't like the air freshener sprayed in the cottage. The low pressure geyser / shower was a huge disappointment. The hot water literally dripped from the shower. The asbestos walls between the units are board thin and we could hear every word from the unit next to us. A bit of soundproofing between the units would certainly help. Also sorry that there was no WiFi available.

Nice sleepover after a long drive.
The cottage was perfect for the 2 of us, but is very spacious and has space for 3. The photos of the master bedroom look much smaller than it actually is. The room was massively big, we really enjoyed it! The kitchen is equipped with all the facilities one needs for cooking and there is also a braai for those who want. A small swimming pool is also on site to cool off in after a long drive.

Not pleasant for the price we paid.
For the price paid and what we experienced, it was not good. Would have at least thought there would be shampoo, soap etc. be available. No drying cloth available or where one would hang one. None of the doors close properly. The grout at the bath is out and just looks gaga. A.g. v the drywall between the units the noise from the neighbours' TV bothered us and couldn't go to bed early. Beds' headboards are loose. Didn't complete the form, didn't have or provided a pen to fill it out.

No place for a long vacation at all. Only suitable for one night's stay.
The place is hopelessly overpriced. We stayed at a place in Gordons Bay. The price was similar. You cannot compare the two. The stay in Gordons Bay was spotless. Looked like 5 star accommodation. Gariep Gardens: The shower has no curtain. Toilet seat cover dirty. Soap holder dirty. Old bath mat before shower. (Was too scared to step on it. Wore sandals when showering.) Pictures of what room looks like are accurate but not of what it looks like outside. Inside of boiler must be cleaned. We decided to drive as soon as possible the next day.

Greetings Hans.
These tiles were laid in 1972 and the grouting has coloured.
We have tried our best to get them back to shiny white, but to no avail.
Having said this, I have now decided to tear down all the tiles, break out the shower, replace the basin system and completely re-tile the bathroom with a good new modern look.
Come again in a months time, you will be pleasantly surprised.

Linen is unironed and old. Entrance door's paint peeling off and looks like the entrance to a storage room. Broom and shovel stand in the living area and are extremely unprofessional. Bathroom is very small, about 1 meter wide, and the bathroom door needs to be handled carefully because it falls off the rail. The type of light in the bathroom is usually used outdoors. The cupboards in the kitchen are rotting. The smell in the unit smells like someone has smoked in it, unpleasant.

Indoor barbecue was nice because the weather was bad. However, when the barbecue started smoking and we looked for the back door key there was none. All the windows are also physically screwed from the outside with screws and therefore cannot open at all. The entire unit was then under the smoke and it was a very bad experience and a definite health hazard at that stage. We had to sit for hours with the front door open to wait for the smoke to clear to the point where we could sleep. The wood was not wet bought it from Gariep Supermarket. Not a good experience at all.

Disappointed.
Host was friendly and showed us around nicely and the beds were comfortable, but that's about where it ends. Problems with cold water pressure together with borehole water make you not want to drink tap water. For a self-catering unit, there is a lot missing in the rooms if you would like to cook. Expected better. After a long day of driving, you also don't want to hear that there is no hot water, because the solar geyser couldn't work because it was cloudy. Know that this probably doesn't happen much at Gariep, but for days like this an electric geyser would be handy.

Because of of no power, there was no fan/air conditioning and no hot water to shower or early next morning to boil water for coffee.

Hi Pieter,
Excuse my reply in English.
You certainly can't blame the website, we have been on it for around 10 years now and have a great number of good reviews.
In terms of the hot water, you were clearly warned that due to the rainy and overcast conditions and the fact that it's -4 degrees Celsius at night, that the solar geysers would only provide you with hot water for either an evening shower or a morning shower but certainly not both. You did not heed our warning.
We have around 15 days in a year when conditions are so poor that even the solar geysers take strain, during this period, we provide our guests with "free stay vouchers", so expect your "free stay voucher" shortly from our admin office. We will, however, not be changing over to electric powered geysers.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

We immediately felt at home and the unit was exactly as we hoped. Comfortable, well equipped and private enough. Unfortunately, I had a bad experience the first night, but Johan and his wife were soon there to assist my friend and also simply called in the local clinic nurse to look after me. Thank you very much for the support. It did not go unnoticed! Hope we see you again soon.

A clean room with good customer service does not provide a good night's rest.
Rest is what's needed when you're riding long distances for the day, which is usually the case when you stop at Gariepdam. With the poor quality bed we had, we were already awake at 02:00 in the morning. Our bodies were sore and tired lying on the unsupportive bed. And then you roll to the middle as lying down. My suggestion is that the room should be locked until the bed is replaced with something decent. My request was clear that we needed a firm bed for the night. No attention or feedback was given on the request. This place drags Gariepdam's name through the mud, just to pocket a few rand.

The house was spacious enough for our family with 3 children.
We chose Gariep Dam area because it is halfway between Gauteng and the Cape and that was a wise decision. The accommodation in the town is just not as comfortable as we are used to. The house was spacious enough and neat. It is an asbestos building and therefore becomes very hot, but there was one room with an air-con. The television has a channel service that we do not know but we could at least entertain our younger daughter with it. There isn't good security and the town gets very dark at night.

This is a very disturbing review which I have investigated thoroughly and found your review to be correct in terms of the cleaning and algae. We recently employed a new cleaning lady to service this unit and found that she was certainly NOT doing her job and have consequently terminated her services. This Seagull unit was opened as a single night sleepover unit to be used when all our other 14 units are full and our booking clerk should have placed you in our lovely Ting Tinkie unit.

The unit is a pre fab building on somebody's back yard. It's one building divided into units. When the neighbours enter or leave it makes quite a noise. The ablution is so small that you can't use it without leaving the door open. The soap dish is in the middle of the sink so your head hits it when you bend down to use the sink. The fridge wobbles. I fixed it myself without much effort. Parking was in the mud and there was no proper mat outside on which to wipe your shoes.

Hi Vanessa, my apology for answering you in English.
Firstly, thank you for your review which has outlined some major problems with this newly opened unit.
Believe it or not, this is a brand new bed and mattress that we bought from a furniture store in Colesberg, owned by a foreign resident and you are the third complainant about this bed. I have subsequently removed the bed and replaced it.
Secondly, we should never have placed 4 guests in this unit as it is designed for a couple plus a small child, certainly not suited for 4 adults. I have given strict instructions to my manager and booking clerk as to never allow this scenario again.
My humblest apology, I will make contact you per email and send you a double day, free stay voucher in one of our large and better equipped units.

Pleasant, comfortable stay without 'issues'.
Advance communication via email and text was good. The accommodation (consisting of a sleeping area with double bed and single bed; a smart kitchen-living area; and a smart bathroom area with toilet, sink and shower) was very suitable as an overnight stop. Provision was made for all the basic needs (kitchen with sink, fridge, two-plate stove, microwave, kettle and enough power points; TV with the basic channels and OVHD; and air conditioning), as well as outdoor grill and chairs. The following are recommendations: - Install YALE lock at door; so that the door can be closed when leaving, without concern that something might disappear from the house (theft is apparently not an issue at the moment, but there is always a first time; - There was insufficient hot water (after my wife spent 3 - 4 minutes showered for a long time, there was no hot water); Electric geyser is insufficient (or there is some other technical problem); - Suggest that some 'brackets' be installed in the kitchen (where do you hang the wet towel?)

Hi Manie,

Vir die prys van 2 kan die unit dus 4 slaap. Maar jy is reg, dit warboel die eenheid en ek gaan dit verwyder en net mooi enkel bed daar insit.
Ons gaan dit mooi maak buite met 'n afdakkie en baksteen plaveisel. Kom maar weer so oor maand en dan sal jy sien hoe mooi ons dit buite gemaak het.
Maak asb. kontak met ons kantoor, vra vir Karen en ek sal vir julle 'n gratis verblyf koopbewys gee.

In terms of the boat trips, they are well advertised with banners all around Gariep Dam, there is also a large game reserve and lots of restaurants. As this area was in the centre of the "Boar War", there is lots of historic sites to see.

Beautiful and clean.
Beautiful and clean, big and cool. The black tiles and pure white bedding were just a delight. Sorry our stay was so short.

Delicious, comfortable and beautiful resting place after a long journey from the Cape!
First of all, we were very impressed with every facet of LekkeSlaap's service. Secondly, we were pleasantly surprised with the neat, comfortable and clean accommodation. We are sorry that we could only stay one night!

Neat and private place to stay.
We stayed in Ting Tinkie for one night. The place still looks relatively new and is very tidy. The unit is well equipped. There is also a neat braai area at the back which is very private. There is a TV with certain DStv channels. There is parking behind gates that can close. I would be able to recommend the place to anyone who wants to be calm after a long journey.

Nice quiet and safe.
Nicely clean on arrival and after that no effort was made to service bathroom, kitchen and bedroom. No person entered. Don't even come to make sure everything is still okay.

Vir oorslaap en dan die volgende oggend vroeg vertrek, is Gariep Gardens gerieflik.

For an overnight stay and then an early departure the next morning, Gariep Gardens is convenient.
Photos and advertisement of Gariep Gardens are misleading. The photos of the view of the dam are used in advertising, but the dam cannot be seen at all. DStv is mentioned but not switched on. (So no DStv). Garden looks nice in photos but not at all the same picture there. Just mention it for positive comments.

Not at all how it is advertised.
Looks like you have a view of the dam, but that's not the case at all.

Not the very best, but okay.
It's okay for one night's stay and if there is nothing else left to choose from, but wouldn't stay there for a few days.

It felt unsafe.
We were the only people on site and the building planning was not well laid out. Also felt like garden and pool hadn't been maintained for a while, the pool was empty. I asked if my vehicle would be behind a gate. Feedback was that it is behind a gate, but it was not locked. It was untrue, there is a gate, but it's open on the other side (no gate or wall) for anyone to walk in and do whatever they want around the building. There were only two of us on the entire site and even if it was a safe environment (which we don't think it is) we would be terrified. Then we decided to look for another place that was not much more expensive, the hotel was excellent and we are very disappointed with Gariep Gardens. I wouldn't ever recommend the place, but that's just my experience.
