Gerieflik, ontspannend en lekker.

Ons het heerlik gebly, al was dit net 1 nag en het alles gehad wat nodig was. Baie vriendelike ontvangs. Maak dit nou ons go-to tussen Kaap en Gauteng.

Oornag verblyf.

Ons het slegs een aand oorgeslaap. Die gastehuis het alles gehad wat ons nodig gehad het. Dit was 'n skoon huis met skoon beddegoed. Daar was ook 'n bad/stort wat ons kon gebruik.

Die kothuis was netjies en skoon. Die beddens was gerieflik.

Ons het nie gehou van die lugverfrisser wat in die kothuis gespuit was nie. Die laedruk-geyser / stort was 'n groot teleurstelling. Die warmwater het letterlik van die stort gedrup. Die asbesmure tussen die eenhede is plankdun en ons kon elke woord hoor van die eenheid langs ons. 'n Bietjie klankisolering tussen die eenhede sal sekerlik help. Ook jammer dat daar nie WiFi beskikbaar was nie.

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.

Eienaar en dame, Roxy, wat ons ontvang het die Sondag was uiters behulpsaam en aakkommoderend. Plek was netjies en skoon met aankoms. Roxy ons van inligting aangaande Gariep voorsien, asook waar ons kan gaan vir besoeke en eetplekke. Dankie daarvoor. Ons sal weer daar oorslaap.

Lekker oorslaap na 'n lang pad.

Die huisie was perfek vir ons 2, maar is baie ruim en het spasie vir 3. Die foto's van die hoofslaapkamer lyk baie kleiner as wat dit werklik is. Die kamer was massief groot, ons het dit baie geniet! Die kombuis is toegerus met al die geriewe wat 'n mens nodig het vir kosmaak en daar is ook 'n braaier vir die wat wil. 'n Klein swembad is ook op die perseel om in af te koel na 'n lang pad se ry.

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.

The stay was very good and I even told Drikus that I am gonna come back.

In short, that place was a quiet place to be and everything that we need was there. I don't have any complaints. The host even took us for a tour to check other houses for future purposes when I bring more friends and family he can cater for us. And even inform us about business operations in the Gariep, it was the 1st time to see a business person even market other businesses as well, that town is teamwork.

Overnight stay.

Overall our stay was good and the unit exceeded our expectations in terms of amenities. The unit provided everything we needed for comfort on a cold windy winter evening. We loved the built in braai in the kitchen. Our hosts were friendly, welcoming and very accommodating to our personal needs and requests. Personal feedback for host: Perhaps consider installing an extractor fan in the bathroom, since there is no window. The geyser was only partially warm, not hot. The walls requires decent sound insulation installed, since they are paper thin. wood panel walls with zero sound insulation. We were unaware of people living next door and were startled awake by the neighbors snoring and peoples movements adjacent to our bedroom and later from the washing machine. This experience was very unpleasant, as at first we thought there was an intruder in the unit, until we realized it's next door. It was awkward, we felt our privacy was reduced significantly. We will probably not book again at this unit, unless alterations were made.

Spend my birthday weekend there and had an amazing time.

Some of the reviews gave a rather negative perception to the place so I was pleasantly surprised when I got there. It was clean, the host was there to meet us and explain everything we needed to know. They also send us the loadshedding schedule prior to our arrival which meant that we could plan nicely when to leave from our city. My daughter enjoyed the splash pool there and we could braai and enjoy our time as a family. The hosts were kind enough to bring us spices also for the braai which we had forgotten to pack in. We felt welcomed and the place was reasonably priced and we feel we got what we paid for. More toilet paper for the weekend would have been great though.

Dit was lekker en skoon maar die afwerking kort bietjie aandag.

Die verfwerk skilfer bietjie af. Die potte was ook bietjie klein om mee te kook maar verder was dit skoon en netjies.

Afwerking is nie op standaard nie.

Kraan is los in kombuis. Stort se water loop nie uit nie. Badkamer loop uit kombuis m.a.w kombuis sit in die middel van kamer en badkamer. Foto's is bedrieglik, als is daar maar net die mooi gedeeltes is op foto's. Te duur vir wat jy kry.

Finishing is not up to standard.

Faucet is loose in kitchen. Shower water does not drain. Bathroom runs off kitchen, i.e. kitchen sits in the middle of room and bathroom. Photos are deceiving, if only the beautiful parts are in photos. Too expensive for what you get.

Nie aagenaam vir die prys wat ons betaal het nie.

Vir die prys wat betaal is en wat ons ervaar het, was dit nie goed nie. Sou at least gedink het daar sou sjampoe, seep ens. beskikbaar wees. Geen afdroogdoek beskikbaar of waar mens een sou ophang nie. Nie een van die deure maak ordentlik toe nie. Die grout by die bad is uit en lyk net gagga. A. g. v die drywall tussen die eenhede het die lawaai van die bure se TV ons gepla en kon nie vroeg gaan slaap nie. Beddens se kopstukke is los. Het nie die vorm voltooi nie, geen pen gehad of voorsien om dit in te vul nie.

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.

Baie dankie dat ons so vriendelik ontvang is by die motorhawe. Wat 'n heerlike verrassing toe ons 'n pragtige skoon plek ontvang met verwarmers reeds aan. Ons kon heerlik stort en in kraakvars linne inkruip en sowaar nog 'n verrassing - die warmkombers was reeds aan en die bed was heerlik warm. Baie dankie, ons het heerlik gebly!

Dis 'n rustige plek om te ontspan voor jy die res van jou ver pad aandurf.

Ons was skepties toe ons die plek van buite gesien het, maar heel beïndruk toe ons binnegaan. Hy is skoon, sinvol gemeubileer en gerieflik. Buite is 'n heerlike braaiplek vir as dit nie reën nie. Ons het lekker gerus en was die volgende oggend amper te lui om op te staan. Dankie vir die geleentheid om daar te oornag.

We were skeptical when we saw the place from the outside, but quite impressed when we went inside. It is clean, sensibly furnished and comfortable.

Glad nie plek vir lang vakansie. Net geskik vir een nag se oornag.

Die plek is hopeloos te duur. Ons het by 'n plek in Gordonsbaai gebly. Die prys was soortgelyk. Jy kan die twee nie vergelyk nie. Die verblyf in Gordonsbaai was silwerskoon. Het soos 5 ster-verblyf gelyk. Gariep Gardens: Die stort het geen gordyn. Toiletsitplek-deksel vuil. Seephouer vuil. Ou bad mat voor stort. (Was te bang om daarop te trap. Het sandale gedra toe ek gestort het.) Foto's van hoe vertrek lyk is akkuraat maar nie van hoe dit buite lyk nie. Binnekant van ketel moet skoon gemaak word. Ons het besluit om so gou as moontlik die volgende dag te ry.

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.

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.
Regards

Vuil en stukkend, nie werd wat jy betaal nie.

Die huisie het vuil gevoel, beddegoed was vuil, stort het nie gewerk nie, baie raserige bure. As dit nie vir die curfew was nie sou ons aangery het.

My stay was disappointing.

I wasn't expecting much because the ad had said it was a no frills type of accommodation. However I wasn't expecting the place to be dirty and dusty which made my kids get sick with hay fever. At first glance it looked okay but as my kids started sneezing I looked a bit closer around the apartment and found dusty cabinets, a lot of dust under the beds and behind the curtains and couches. It was as if the place hadn't been thoroughly cleaned for ages. The water pipes leaked in the bathroom and outside and in the morning after everyone had taken a bath there was a pool of dirty water around the entertainment area from the leaking pipes.

Teleurstellend, glad nie waarde gekry.

Linne is ongestryk en oud. Ingangsdeur se verf dop af en lyk soos die ingang na 'n stoorkamer. Besem en skoppie staan in die die leefarea en is uiters onprofessioneel. Badkamer is baie klein, ongeveer 1 meter breed, en die badkamerdeur moet versigtig hanteer word omdat dit van die reeling afval. Die tipe lig in die badkamer word gewoonlik buitenshuis gebruik. Die kaste in die kombuis is besig om te vrot. Die reuk in die eenheid ruik asof iemand daarin gerook het, onaangenaam.

Disappointing, got no value at all.

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.

Basiese, maar skoon oornagverblyf op Gariep Dam dorpie.

Die eenheid was skoon en netjies. Ons het gesukkel om die bestuur in die hande te kry gedurende 'n elektrisiteitsprobleem wat aan die eenheid gekoppel was vir 90% van ons tyd daar. Hoewel dit bitter ongerieflik was, is ons ook 'n verskoning aangebied, sowel as gratis nag vorentoe. Ons het die manier van probleemoplossing na afloop van die insident baie waardeer.

Ja, dit is maar so, dit is die nuwe elektromagnetiese geysers en hulle het net 30 lt warm water, een vordeel is dat dit, maar net 14 minute vat on weer warm water to gooi! In somer is dit nie 'n groot probleem nie maar, boetie, winter skrik jy as die koue water deurkom.

Ons het in Riedler gebly.

Binnebraai was lekker want die weer was sleg. Toe die braai egter begin rook en ons die agterdeursleutel soek was daar nie een nie. Al die vensters is ook fisies met skroewe van buite af vasgeskroef en kan dus glad nie oopmaak nie. Die hele eenheid was toe onder die rook en dit was 'n baie slegte ervaring en 'n definitiewe gesondheidsgevaar op daai stadium. Ons moes vir ure met die voordeur oop sit om te wag dat die rook tot so mate kon uitgaan dat ons kon slaap. Die hout was nie nat nie het dit by Gariep Supermark gekoop. Glad nie 'n goeie ervaring nie.

We stayed in Riedler.

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.

Teleurgesteld.

Gasheer was vriendelik en het ons mooi rondgewys en die beddens was gemaklik, maar dis omtrent waar dit eindig. Probleme met koue water se druk saam met boorgatwater maak dat jy nie kraanwater wil drink nie. Vir 'n selfsorg-eenheid kort daar heelwat goed in die kamers as jy sou wou kos maak. Het beter verwag. Na 'n lang dag se ry wil jy ook nie hoor daar is nie warm water nie, want die solar geyser kon nie werk oor dit bewolk was nie. Weet dit gebeur seker nie veel by Gariep nie, maar vir sulke dae sou 'n elektriese geyser handig wees.

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

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.

Net as 'n oorslaap op ons reis na JHB.

Foto's kan baie bedrieglik wees. Die plekkie was skoon en netjies maar. Die venster kan nie oopmaak nie, want dit is toegeskroef met skroewe. Lugversorger werk nie. Die voordeur kan nie oopmaak nie so daar is geen vars lug wat deur die plek kan sirkuleer nie. Dit is bedompig en baie warm in die somer. Die dubbelbed is van so 'n aard dat op die grond slaap 'n beter opsie is.

Die ontvangs was nie professioneel. Ons indruk was dat Gariep Gardens nie bewus was van ons verblyf. Die waterstelsel in die badkamer werk nie. Die lugversorger is nie aangenaam.

Rustige heerlikheid!

Wat ‘n heerlike kuier! Ons is goed ontvang, mooi deur als gewys en het ons 5 nagte besonders geniet! Ons eenheid het ‘n binnebraai gehad wat ‘n absolute bederf was! Eenheid was ruim, baie netjies en goed toegerus! Ons is tot verras met nuwe beddegoed en handdoeke in die middel van ons verblyf! Enigste kommentaar: As ek geweet het ons eenheid het ‘n DVD-speler sou ek ‘n paar flieks saamgevat het vir die lekker koue aande! Ek was wel onbewus van daardie luuksheid. Sal baie beslis weer in daar gaan bly as ons Gariep verby/toe gaan!

Quiet glory!

What a lovely visit! We were well received, well shown around and thoroughly enjoyed our 5 nights! Our unit had an indoor barbecue which was an absolute treat! Unit was spacious, very tidy and well equipped! We were surprised with new bedding and towels in the middle of our stay! Only comment: If I had known our unit had a DVD player I would have packed a few movies for the nice cold evenings! I was indeed unaware of that luxury. Will definitely be staying there again if we pass/go to Gariep!

The place is good and welcoming. It is convenient to the local places of interest. Facilities are fine. Nonetheless, please work on your TV sets (Old Type).

The place is clean both outside and inside. We had a very good welcome by Johan who was on time to receive us and took us to the place to show us everything in it. Very clean and welcoming. Nonetheless, I was not happy with the TV set, it was too small and an old box type. The facility needs to improve on that to make guests' stay more comfortable.

Gerieflike oorslaapligging gedurende lang reis.

Dankie Johan vir jou vriendelikheid om ons by die vulstasie te ontmoet. Vriendelike ontvangs. Gariep Gardens is skoon, netjies en gerieflik. Dit is meer as geskik vir ons doeleindes as oorslaap vir een nag. Die solar geyser het meer as genoeg warm water verskaf vir die 3 van ons om lekker warm te stort. Ons het lekker buite gesit en die stilte en die sterre geniet.

Hi Peter,
Glad you enjoyed your stay. There have been some burglaries in Gariep Dam lately, so we have instructed and await burglar proofing for all opening windows. However, as a temporary solution, we have screwed the windows shut. We will reverse this within a couple of days when our burglar proofing arrive. Our apologies. At least there are fans and aircons. Hope to see you soon.

Ry verby.

Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang. Daar was wel geen swembad soos in die foto by ons eenheid nie, ons is nie ingelig indien daar 'n swembad was om te gebruik. Die skuifdeur na die badkamer kon skaars oop en toe. Die krag was 'n groot probleem. Teen 22:00 is die krag af, nie a.g.v. Eskom nie. Ons het herhaaldelik probeer om dit by die DB-bord aan te skakel. A.g.v. van geen krag, was daar geen waaier/lugversorging nie en geen warm water om te stort of vroeg volgende oggend om water te kook vir koffie. Deur die aand tussen 01:00 en 02:00 was daar agter ons eenheid mense, kon stemme en voetstappe hoor, wat deur die rommelsakke gegrawe het. Bitter min slaap ingekry na 'n lang pad en baie moeg vir 'n 2de skof op die pad.

Drive by.

We were received very kindly. There was no pool as in the photo at our unit, we were not informed if there was a pool to use. The sliding door to the bathroom could barely open and close. The power was a big problem. By 22:00 the power is off, not due to Not Eskom. We tried repeatedly to connect it to the DB board. 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. Throughout the evening between 01:00 and 02:00 there was behind our unit people, could hear voices and footsteps, digging through the rubbish bags. Got very little sleep after a long drive and very tired for a 2nd shift on the road.

Baie teleurstellend.

Die krag was reeds vir 2 dae af in Gariep voor ons aankoms. Ek het eers op die dag van ons aankoms 'n SMS ontvang wat se dat daar 'n kragonderbreking in Gariep is en dat dit nie seker is wanneer die krag weer aan sal kom nie. Met aankoms het Johan ons ingelig dat dit dae sal wees voor die krag weer sou aan wees. As gevolg van die krag onderbreking was daar ook geen water nie! Ons het 'n groep jongmense vir bure gehad wat baie geraas het. Daar was geen toesig op die perseel nie.

Very disappointing.

The power was out for 2 days in Gariep before our arrival. I only received a text message on the day of our arrival saying that there was a power failure in Gariep and that it was not sure when the power would come again. Upon arrival, Johan informed us that it would be days before the power would be back on. Due to the power outage there was also no water! We had a group of youngsters for neighbours who made a lot of noise. There was no site supervision.

Andre, dis Afrika en jy weet wat hier in RSA aangaan met ESKOM en die droogte. Diens is nog iets wat 'n absolute skande is in die RSA.
Een van ESKOM se transformers het geblaas en dit het ons behoorlik in die dwang gelaat. Ons is hand en mond belowe dat die krag so gou as moontlik herstel sal word, dus die rede hoekom ons eers ons gaste die oggend van hulle aankoms laat weet het.
In terme van die groep jong mense wat geraas het, as jy vir Johan gebel het en dit vir hom dit vertel het, sou hy daardie probleem sommer dadelik uit sorteer het.
Kom kuier graag weer.

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.

Heerlike tuiste weg van jou huis.

Ons was 'n groep van 8 mense, waarvan 3 blind was, en 2 gidshonde. Die huis is goed ingerig vir blinde mense en daar was geen probleem met die honde nie. Almal het lekker gekuier en was hartseer om te vertrek. Die blinde tannies gaan julle definitief op die Blinde Assosiasie sit vir toekomstige blinde reisigers. Baie dankie van almal van ons.

Lovely home away from home.

We were a group of 8 people, 3 of which were blind, and 2 guide dogs. The house is well equipped for blind people and there was no problem with the dogs. Everyone had a great time and was sad to leave. The blind aunties are definitely going to put you on the Blind Association for future blind travelers. Many thanks from all of us.

Ons het baie lekker gebly.

Die blyplek was mooi skoon en netjies. Genoeg spasie buite vir kinders om te speel en vir familie om buite te braai en gesellig te verkeer. Kombuis was goed toegerus met alles wat benodig word. Slegs een voorstel: Aangesien daar 8 mense kan slaap, kan 'n groter tafel in die kombuis aangebring word waar almal kan sit en eet. Daar is genoeg spasie daarvoor. Verder was alles puik.

The accommodation was very clean and tidy. Enough space outside for children to play and for family to barbecue and socialize outside. Kitchen was well equipped with everything needed. Only one suggestion: As there can sleep 8 people, a bigger table can be installed in the kitchen where everyone can sit and eat. There is enough space for that. Other than that, everything was great.

Absoluut wonderlik.

Ons is hartlik verwelkom deur Johan en sy vrou. Hulle het ons inteendeel op 'n sekere punt ontmoet en vandaar na Gariep Gardens geneem. Ons het onmiddelik tuis gevoel en die eenheid was presies soos wat ons gehoop het. Gerieflik, goed toegerus en privaat genoeg. Ek het ongelukkig die eerste aand 'n slegte ondervinding gehad, maar Johan en sy vrou was gou daar om my vriendin by te staan en het ook sommer die plaaslike klinieksuster ingeroep om na my om te sien. Baie dankie vir die ondersteuning. Dit het nie ongesiens verby gegaan nie! Hoop ons sien julle binnekort weer.

Absolutely wonderful.

We were warmly welcomed by Johan and his wife. On the contrary, they met us at a certain point and took us from there to Gariep Gardens. 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.

Gariep Gardens het 'n ideale persoon om gaste te ontvang en tuis te laat voel. Hy het al ons vrae beantwoord en plekke uitgewys en aanbeveel. Die akkommodasie is skoon, netjies en ideaal vir twee persone en behoorlik toegerus. Weens die feit dat die badkamer nie vars lug kry nie, sal ek 'n uitsuigwaaier daarin aanbeveel! Ons was ook nog gelukkig om 30% afslag te kry, wat dit baie goedkoop gemaak het! Ek sal hierdie akkommodasie te enige tyd by vriende aanbeveel. Ons het dit baie geniet.

Kort.

Die tyd wat toegelaat word vir warm water wanneer jy stort is veels te kort, dit nie 'n aangename ondervinding om met koue water te stort nie. Die geyser is net te klein.

Short.

The time allowed for hot water when showering is far too short, not a pleasant experience to shower with cold water. The geyser is just too small.

Hi Susan,
We will definitely be replacing this small geyser with a larger one. I know what you mean about cold showers, especially during winter.
Please accept our apologies and this problem will be rectified.

Nice clean well equipped room to spend the night

The room is nice clean and well equipped, the service during reception was very good and information about what to do at Gariep was provided. Due to the fact that there is no view, I would not recommend it for more than 2 days not but is sufficient for an overnight stay.

Ons het baie lekker gebly, was nou wel net vir een aand, maar die plekkie is goed uitgerus vir 'n oornagpunt. Die stort kan wel doen met 'n nuwe stortkop en gordyne/blinders in die kombuis, maar verder het ons lekker oornag.

'n Skoon kamer met goeie kliëntediens verskaf nie 'n goeie nagrus nie.

Rus is wat nodig is as mens die dag ver ry, wat gewoonlik die geval is as jy by Gariepdam stop. Met die swak gehalte bed wat ons gehad het was ons al 02:00 die oggend wakker. Ons lywe was seer en moeg gelê op die bed wat nie ondersteuning gee nie. En dan rol jy middel toe as lê. My voorstel is dat die kamer eers gesluit moet word totdat die bed vervang is met iets ordentliks. My versoek was duidelik dat ons 'n stewige bed benodig vir die aand. Geen aandag of terugvoer is gegee oor die versoek nie. Hierdie plek sleep Gariepdam se naam deur die modder, net om 'n paar rand in die sak te sit.

Translate to English.

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.

Hi Marius
I was aware of your complaint and request IRO the review you left in the unit.
I asked Johan (Our Manager) to test the bed, which he did and he felt it was comfortable.
However, I always take the side of our beloved guests and we will replace this bed with a brand new Simonz Bed.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention and my apology for the bed nights rest.
My office will be in contact with you to offer you a free stay voucher.

Family with young children

Die huis was ruim genoeg vir ons gesin met 3 kinders.

Ons het Gariep Dam-area gekies omdat dit half pad is tussen Gauteng en die Kaap en dit was toe 'n wyse besluit. Die verblyf op die dorp is net nie so gemaklik as waaraan ons gewoond is nie. Die huis was ruim genoeg en netjies. Dit is 'n asbesgebou en word dus baie warm, daar was darem een vertrek met 'n air-con. Die televisie het 'n kanaaldiens wat ons nie ken nie maar ons kon darem die jonger meisiekind daarmee "entertain." Daar is nie goeie sekuriteit nie en die dorp word donker in die nag.

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.

Baie basiese verblyf, slegs geskik vir oornagrusplek op die lang roete van die Kaap na Pretoria.

Geen ontvangs by aankoms en geen aanduiding van wat mens te doen staan om toegang tot verblyf te kry nie - moes iemand bel om vir ons te kom oopsluit. Geriewe baie basies en oud.

Greetings Carl,

Thank you for your review. We will certainly try to make some improvements to our meet-and-greet procedures. However, our confirmation letter does warn you that we do not have an actual reception area and that you should phone our manager when you about 20 minutes out. Johan will then guide you to your unit and ensure all is okay and explain all to you. Seems there was a breakdown in this procedure somewhere. Please accept our apologies.

Hope to see you soon again.

Greetings Gideon,
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.

My humblest apology, we will send you a free stay voucher and hope to see you soon.

Dis ekonomiese klas, nie besigheids klas nie.

Die eenheid is 'n pre-fab gebou in iemand se agterplaas. Dit is een gebou opgedeel in verskillende eenhede. Waneer bure inkom of uitgaan is 'n dit groot geraas. Die ablusie is so klein dat jy dit nie kan gebruik sonder om die deur oop te los nie. Die seepbakkie is in die middel van die wasbak geplaas sodat jy jou kop daarteen stamp waneer jy buk om die wasbak te probeer gebruik. Die yskas staan en waggel. Ek het dit self reggestel met min moeite. Parkering was in die modder en geen behoorlike mat is aan die buitekant om jou skoene af te vee nie.

Economical class, not business class.

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.

Gariep Gardens 's response

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.
Regards, Robin. Owner.

Om te oornag op pad Kaap toe is dit perfek.

Dis goed toeggerus en ons wou net oornag. Daar is 'n TV maar daar is so min kanale op, daar kon eintlik maar nie 'n TV gewees het nie. Maar ons wou net oornag so dit was nie van belang nie. Lekker braaiplekkie agter die huisie.

Aangename, gemaklike verblyf sonder 'issues'.

Vooraf-kommunikasie per e-pos en SMS was goed. Die akkommodasie (bestaande uit 'n slaaparea met dubbelbed en enkelbed; 'n knap kombuis-leefarea; en 'n knap badkamer-area met toilet, wasbak en stort) was baie geskik as 'n oornagstop. Voorsiening was gemaak vir al die basiese behoeftes (kombuis met wasbak, yskas, tweeplaatstoof, mikrogolf, ketel en genoeg kragpunte; TV met die basiese kanale en OVHD; en lugreëling), asook buitebraaier en -stoele. Die volgende is aanbevelings: - Installeer YALE-slot by deur; sodat deur toegetrek kan word by vertrek, sonder besorgdheid of iets uit huis kan verdwyn (diefstal is blykbaar tans nie 'n issue nie, maar daar is altyd 'n eerste keer; - Daar was onvoldoende warm water (nadat my vrou 3 - 4 minute lank gestort het, was daar geen warm water nie); Elektriese geyser is ontoereikend (of daar is ander tegniese problem); - Stel voor dat daar paar 'hakies' in kombuis geïnstalleer word (waar hang mens die klam afdroogdoek?)

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

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?)

Good overnight stay.

The accommodation was neat and nicely furnished. The area is just not that great. The only suggestion we have is the shower's temperature regulation which needs some work and the toilet lid which kept falling off, but other than that we had no complaints. Good night's rest for when you're on the long road.

Ek het nie van die bunkbed gehou wat reg voor die venster ingedruk was nie, dit gee die kamer 'n beknopte gevoel.

Dis tydelike behuising, so die gevoel is nie dieselfde as 'n permanente konstruksie nie. Binne netjies, maar beknop soos genoem. Buite is die minimum gedoen, alhoewel ek wil glo die stil en veilig kon ek nie help om tog deur die nag effens te bekommer oor my motor, die inhoud en die oop erf nie.

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

I didn't like the bunk bed that was pushed right in front of the window, it made the room feel cramped.

It's temporary housing, so the feeling is not the same as a permanent construction. Neat inside, but cramped as mentioned. Outside, the minimum was done, although I'd like to believe it was quiet and safe, I couldn't help but worry a little during the night about my car, the contents and the open yard.

Hi Manie,
Ek stem saam met jou, dit is 'n nuwe eenheid wat ek onlangs oopgemaak het en toe sommer besluit on hierdie dubbel stapelbed in te sit, sonder extra koste vir ons gaste. 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.

Disappointing.

Initially told we were double booked and put into a one room place (for a family of 5 with 3 small children). Changed to our booked unit when I made a fuss. Geyser only put on when we arrived so no hot water until the following morning. Disappointing and would not stay there again.

Hi Tasha,
We are saddened to hear that you did not enjoy your stay at our SunRose Group of Guest Houses. Seems that Johan really messed up here with putting you chaps in the incorrect unit. For this I apologize.
Please contact our offices after 8 January 2018 and Karen will issue you with a free stay voucher.
I'll make very sure that the next time you check into any of our units, that you are treated like royalty.
Hope to see you soon.

Uitstekend vir een nag teen ZAR650 twee mense. Bietjie duur 'n week of wat.

Baie mooi opgepas asook gebou, hou van die hoë kwaliteit houtafwerking wat nie wit geverf is nie. Gebel soos aanbeveel en bestuurder is al klaar by die plek. Goeie raad gegee waar om te eet ens. Asb laat mense weet eetplekke sluit redelik vroeg (21:00). Bring jou eie kos as jy later as dit wil eet! Ons was net betyds om by die hotel te eet; ook baie lekker. Bring ook kamera 'n goeie lens om die maan oor die dam, selfs die dam ook, in die aand af te neem!

Excellent for one night at ZAR650 two people. Bit lasts a week or so.

Very nicely looked after as well as built, love the high quality wood finish that is not painted white. Called as recommended and driver is already at the location. Gave good advice where to eat etc. Please let people know that eateries close quite early (9pm). Bring your own food if you want to eat later than that! We were just in time to eat at the hotel; also very nice. Also bring a camera and a good lens to capture the moon over the pond, even the pond itself, in the evening!

Rieder is goed toegerus en perfek om te oornag. Parkeer agter hek, maar nie sluitbaar.

Perfek om te oornag (kan nie die dam sien nie). Slegs stort maar heel vermaaklike toilet en beskrywing! Baie gerieflike binne-braai. Bed het gevoel of dit dalk bietjie hol na die middel is. Waarde vir geld.

Rieder is well equipped and perfect for an overnight stay. Parking behind gate, but not lockable.

Perfect for overnight stay (can't see the pond). Shower only but very entertaining toilet and description! Very convenient indoor grill. Bed felt like it might be a bit hollow towards the middle. Value for money.

Dankie Flip, ja ek stem saam in verband met die DStv kanale. Vroeër jare kon jy 'n Afrikaans pakket kry by DStv wat Kyknet ingesluit het vir 'n baie billike maandelikse premie, maar hulle het dit gekanselleer en Kyknet ingesluit in 'n heeltemal ander pakket wat vrek duur is. Jammer oor dit. Groete, Robin.

Slegte nagrus.

Die motor was nie agter 'n toegesluite hek nie en die mure was papierdun. Ons kon alles hoor wat ons bure sê en doen. Baie ongemaklik. Dit was asof die mense by ons in ons kamer was. Die persoon wat ons daar moes ontmoet, Ronnie, was ook nie daar nie. Selfs nadat ons hom 20 minute voor die tyd gebel het.

Not a good night's rest.

The car was not behind a locked gate and the walls were paper thin. We could hear everything our neighbours were up to, really awkward. It was almost as if the neighbours were with us in the room.

Verblyf was netjies, maar die plek maak gebruik van sonkragstelsels, en ons het dus geen warm water gehad nie.

Die afskortingsmure tussen die twee gastehuise is te dun, jy kan die bure hoor snork. Daar is ook geen vermaak soos deur Gariep geadverteer nie, bv. die bootrit.

Hi Hein, we are aware of the facts that noise travels throughout the units, this area is very very quiet at night and one can hear all sorts of nightly noises, I recently stayed at the 5 star Lotus Hotel in London and could also hear my neighbours snore.
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.

For this we will gladly offer you a "free stay voucher" and hope to see you in the future. If and when you decide to make use of these vouchers, kindly contact me directly and I'll make sure you have royal treatment and allocate you a unit that is snug and safe.

Ideale selfsorg-eenheid teen die N1.

'n Juweel gerieflik geleë op die N1. Eenheid Rieder 18 is ten volle toegerus en skort niks. Ideaal vir reisigers van Gauteng op pad na die Tuinroete. Dit is presies halfpad tussen Pretoria en Plettenbergbaai. Na twee besoeke sal ek voortaan die eenheid beslis weer oorweeg.

Ons het in Ting Tinkie gebly vir een nag. Die plekkie lyk nog relatief nuut en is baie netjies. Die eenheid is goed toegerus. Daar is ook 'n netjiese braaiplek aan die agterkant wat baie privaat is. Daar is 'n TV met sekere DStv-kanale. Daar is parkeerplek agter hekke wat kan toemaak. Ek sal die plekkie kan aanbeveel by enigiemand wat rustig wil wees na 'n lang reis.

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

Fotos en advertensie van Gariep Gardens is misleidend. Die fotos van die uitsig oor dam word in advertensie gebruik maar die dam kan glad nie gesien word nie. DStv word genoem, maar is nie aangeskakel nie. (Dus geen DStv). Tuin vertoon mooi op fotos maar glad nie dieselfde prentjie daar. Noem dit maar net vir positiewe kommentaar.

(So no DStv). Garden looks nice in photos but not at all the same picture there. Just mention it for positive comments.

Dit het onveilig gevoel.

Ons was die enigste mense op die perseel en die boubeplanning is nie goed uitgelê nie. Het ook gevoel of tuin en swembad nie onderhou was vir 'n ruk nie, die swembad was leeg. Ek het gevra of my voertuig agter 'n hek sal wees. Terugvoer was dat dit agter 'n hek is, maar dit was nie gesluit nie. Dit was onwaar, daar is 'n hek, maar dis aan die anderkant oop (geen hek of muur nie) vir enigiemand om in te loop en om die gebou te doen net wat hulle wil. Ons was net twee op hele perseel en selfs al is dit 'n veilige omgewing (wat ons nie dink die geval is nie) sou ons skrikkerig wees. Toe besluit ons maar om nog 'n plek te soek wat nie veel duurder was nie, die hotel was uitstekend en ons is baie teleurgesteld met Gariep Gardens. Ek sou nie die plek ooit aanbeveel nie, maar dis net my ondervinding.

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.
