Gemiddeld.

Gasheer was baie behulpsaam en gaaf. Ongelukkig is die ligging teen die N2 en die huis was raserig deur die nag. Sleg geslaap en dus vroeg gery die volgende dag.

Average.

Host was very helpful and nice. Unfortunately the location is against the N2 and the house was noisy throughout the night. Slept badly and therefore drove early the next day.

Pleasant with lovely hosts.

Had a great evening at Guest Lodge on the Edge, right next to the Storms River, on the perimeter of Thornham. The hosts were exceptionally friendly, and so were their turkeys and peacock. We could walk across the Storms River N2 bridge from their garden, through a gate that they unlocked for us. Clean towels, bedding, tea, coffee, etc. were provided and there was a fridge and microwave in our room which was super useful. Nice and close to Tsitsikamma Nature Reserve and a host of other activities in the area, with beautiful views of the mountains.

Die besoek was goed georganiseer en goed ontvang.

My vriende het eerste aangekom, en hulle het die sleutels vir my kamer ontvang, want ek het heelwat later opgedaag. Die eienaars was baie tegemoetkomend en vriendelik.

Lodge on the Edge is baie goed geleë.

Die eienaar en sy seun is baie goeie en gelowige mense. Die badkamer is net nie ingerig vir ouer mense nie. Ons kom nie meer so maklik in en uit die bad uit nie. Die tuin is pragtig.

My stay was very good.

My stay was very pleasant, the host was very friendly and nice, we had a lekke stay there. The one thing I found difficult was reading the board, maybe they should put a more visible and bigger board up, I drove past without noticing it.

Effens teleurstellend.

Die verblyf is baie sentraal maar nie noodwendig geskik vir familie met klein kinders nie. Die verduideliking om 'n badkamer te deel met die res van die gaste is nie duidelik nie. Reissakreisigers sal baie lekker kan bly.

Slightly disappointing.

The accommodation is very central but not necessarily suitable for families with small children. The explanation for sharing a bathroom with the rest of the guests is not clear. Backpackers will have a very nice stay.

Vriendelike ontvangs en fantastiese ligging.

Ligging is onverbeterlik en eienaars is baie gasvry. Fasiliteite is egter nie op standaard nie. Op die heel minste moet daar geriewe wees vir koffie en eie etes in die kamers. Lugreëling is ook nodig.

Location is unbeatable and owners are very hospitable. However, facilities are not up to standard. At the very least, there should be amenities for coffee and own meals in the rooms. Air conditioning is also needed.

Internetfotos en kommentare baie misleidend. Het nie tuis gevoel nie. Opknap dringend nodig.

Die omgewing maak 'n verwaarloosde indruk. Die Lodge is direk langs die N2, as jy hou van verkeer is dit die ideale plek. As die verkeer nie raas nie, hoor jy êrens iemand snork of hoes, d.w.s. die mure is baie dun. Kamer 1 is direk langs 'n soort kombuis. Vroegoggend is daar 'n lawaai met potte en panne en kaste en 'n radio wat kliphard speel. Moenie in die oggend stort nie, want jy staan dalk in die water wat die skottelgoedmasjien langsaan in die stort se aflooppyp opstoot. Waarskynlik is die feit dat 'n mens vooraf alles moet betaal juis om te voorkom dat die gaste nie dadelik padgee nie.

Internet photos and comments very misleading. Didn't feel at home. Renovation urgently needed.

The environment makes a neglected impression. The Lodge is right next to the N2, if you like traffic this is the ideal place. If the traffic is not noisy, somewhere you hear someone snoring or coughing, i.e. the walls are very thin. Room 1 is directly next to a kitchen of sorts. Early in the morning there is a noise with pots and pans and cupboards and a radio playing rock hard. Don't take a shower in the morning, because you might be standing in the water that the dishwasher next door pushes up the shower drain. Probably the fact that one has to pay everything in advance is precisely to prevent the guests from leaving immediately.

Warmly, friendly and helpful.

My friend and I had an amazing trip over all, we stayed in Guest Lodge on the Edge for 4 days and from the beginning we felt very welcomed. Semonia (the host) and I communicated a lot prior to our trip because we were not familiar with the place, I had a lot of questions and she was always available to answer.

Oornagverblyf vir bergfietsryers.

Vriendelike gasheer en -vrou. Ideale ligging. Skoon linne en handdoeke. Gastehuis kort egter nog baie aandag, opgradering en afronding. Tuin verwaarloos. Water stroom onder stort uit op vloer. Een kamer het nie 'n ketel gehad nie. Kamerdeure is nie geverf nie. Teëls stukkend by stortkrane. Foto's op webwerf is bietjie misleidend. Daar is egter baie potensiaal.

Overnight stay for mountain bikers.

Friendly host and hostess. Ideal location. Clean linen and towels. Guesthouse, however, still needs a lot of attention, upgrading and finishing. Garden neglected. Water flows out from the shower onto the floor. One room did not have a kettle. Room doors are not painted. Tiles broken by shower taps. Photos on site are a bit misleading. However, there is much potential.
