Our haven away from home.

Altyd lekker by Ikaia! Ons is regulars by hulle en sien hulle 2 keer per jaar. Ons voel altyd soos VIP's as ons daar is, want almal is so vriendelik. Dis waarheen ons vlug vir ontspanning in die natuur met alles wat luuks is om jou. Ons herlaai ons batterye daar terwyl ons rus en heerlik eet.

Always good at Ikaia! We are regulars with them and see them twice a year. We always feel like VIPs when we are there because everyone is so friendly. That's where we flee for relaxation in nature with all that is luxurious around you. We recharge our batteries there while we rest and eat deliciously.

Druisende water van Oranjerivier en skoonheid van natuur word waardeer.

Ons het die oornag by Ikaia River Lodge baie geniet. Rustig, veilig en netjies. Die rustigheid en kalmte van die rivier, bokkies en palmbome met mooi sonsondergang het ons verwagtinge oortref. Koeltebome en swembad ook 'n pluspunt.

Pragtige plek om by te oornag.

Pragtige lodge met 'n uitsig wat ons beïndruk het. Die kos by die restaurant was regtig heerlik en hulle diens was fantasties. Ons kla nie sommer nie, maar as ons iets moet uitlig, is dit dat eenheid 8 waarin ons oornag het se bed ongemaklik hard was en dat hulle vir seker nuwe kussings moet aanskaf aangesien die kussings regtig ongemaklik geslaap het omdat dit so 'pap' is. Verder kan ons nie fout vind nie en ons sal weer daar gaan bly.

Beautiful place to stay overnight.

Beautiful lodge with a view that impressed us. The food at the restaurant was really delicious and their service was fantastic. We don't just complain, but if we have to highlight something, it's that unit 8's bed in which we stayed was uncomfortably hard and they should probably get new pillows as the pillows were really uncomfortable to sleep on because they are so 'mushy' . Other than that we can't fault it and we will stay there again.

Not clean. Not a good meal.

Although braai facility was offered, no cutlery or crockery was available for our 2-night stay. We tried having breakfast at the lodge, was not a good meal at all.

Ikaia River Lodge 's response

Good day Lizel,
Sorry to hear about your bad experience.
You did not book a self-catering unit. You booked the lower priced unit without the kitchen and braai area. This means there was no cutlery or crockery because it was not self-catering. Please also report back to our management during your stay, because we are not able to fix any issues if we only hear about them 2 weeks later.
We strive to make guest's stay better if they have any complaints. Apologies once again.
Regards
Ikaia Management

Ons is so jammer oor ons plaaslike Munisipaliteit wat nie die stelsels onderhou en as hulle 'transformers' skiet, vat dit lank om te herstel. Ongelukkig kan die lugverkoeler en stofie nie op Sonkrag werk nie. Skakel my vir hulle klagte nommer, dan kan u direk met hulle opneem want ons as gemeenskap se klagtes help net mooi niks nie. Indien dit kolle en nie 'kole' was op die laken, sal ons opvolg en sorg dat dit nie weer gebeur nie. Ek weet nie hoe 'kole' op die laken kon beland het nie, behalwe van die braai, en ek hoop van harte dat dit nie die geval was nie. Vriendelike groete.

So rustig, beste plek om van Kalaharistof ontslae te raak.

Dit is die beste plek om 'n ongelooflike lekker vakansie af te sluit. Mal oor die groen grasperke, springbokke wat rustig rondloop, privaat badkamer vir elke kampeerplek was 'n groot verrassing, skoon en netjies. Sal enigiemand sterk aanbeveel om daar te gaan ontspan, ek weet ek en manlief gaan vir seker weer daar bly.

It is the best place to end an incredibly nice holiday. Love the green lawns, springboks walking around peacefully, private bathroom for each campsite was a big surprise, clean and tidy. Would highly recommend anyone to go and relax there, I know hubby and I will definitely be staying there again.

Magical view of the Orange River.

We decided to stay here on our journey to paddle down the Orange River. Originally we were going to camp however the high river level unfortunately did not allow us to do so. We then upgraded to the chalets which were amazing and the view of the river was spectacular. We really enjoyed our stay. The Easter bunny even left chocolates for us.

Camping at Ikaia River Lodge.

Prior to our departure from home 3 weeks before we were contacted by the owner that the Orange river had burst its banks and flooded the camping sites. However they believed it would be possible to make repairs by our arrival date. When we arrived the river had risen again and thwarted attempts to make reparations. The owners and management were most concerned for our wellbeing and have us an alternative camping possibility close to the ablutions and on higher ground. Well it turned out to be perfect for us and we had a most enjoyable stay. We enjoyed everything about the place including the springbuck and bunnies on the property. Lovely restaurant and pool is also available. Thanks to all for your concern and making a plan.

Baie dankie dat julle by Ikaia kom bly het en dankie vir die resensie.
Ons wil net graag noem dat die buffet ontbyt van R130 die volgende insluit:
Koffie, tee, sap stasie, yoghurt, vrugte, muesli, muffins, brood, ander gebak, pappe, asook 'n warm ontbyt met eiers, wors, bacon.. Gaste kan ook soveel skep soos hulle wil.
Ons voel dit is 'n prys wat binne die gasvryheidsbedryf se mark is.

We really enjoyed the pool. We basically had no water or power for the first 24 hours.

Day 2 was loadshedding and then they were busy with a new pump installation, so we only showered for the first time in the evening before we drove. The lodge was very nice, but yes we were a bit disappointed. Friendly people. Nice location.

Goeie dag Elsabe, soos aan julle verduidelik moet jy 'n Self-sorg kamer bespreek om borde, messe, ens by te geniet, nie 'n goedkoper En-suite kamer nie, laasgenoemde het slegs 'n kitchenette soos in die kamer beskrywing op die webwerf. Ons het die lekkende dak die volgende dag onder jul toesig laat regmaak, en vra weereens om verskoning daarvoor. Groete.

We were driving from those sands of Kalahari desert and to find such an oasis on our way back to Cape Town was a pure joy! The beautiful Orange River! Nicely maintained green lawn with springboks grazing just meters away from our room! Wonderful hospitality of all staff! And delicious food at the restaurant! Highly recommend to anyone in case they want to stay somewhere around Upington!

Pragtige oase na 'n warm dag op reis. Baie vriendelike ontvangs en goeie diens. Dit is nie luuks nie, maar als wat jy nodig het is daar ook lekker braaigeriewe en restaurant.

Tuin en kampeerplek is baie goed versorg.

Goeie dag mnr. Labuschagne.

Baie dankie dat u by ons gebly het, en vir u google en Lekkerslaap resensies. Ons is nou onlangs weer vir vier ster gegradeer, en is trots om te se ons voldoen wel aan al die streng vereistes van SA Toerisme. Ons is jammer om agterna van u klagtes te hoor, dit help nogal as die gas dit tydens verblyf raporteer, Ons het aandag aan die lugversorging gegee; die uitlaat pypie was verstop en dit is beslis nie gebreek nie. Die stort (warm- en koud) werk 100%, en indien daar nie koffie of tee, seep of sjampoe ingesit was nie vra ons om verskoning en sou ons dit onmiddelik reggestel het. Op u google resensie het u gese dit was skoon, maar nou volgens u nuutste resensie was dit vuil? Ons beywer ons om vir die gaste ‘n goeie ondervinding te gee, en is werklik jammer oor u slegte ondervinding.

Lieflik, skoon en netjies en rustig.

Dis 'n pragtige plek met vriendelike personeel. Die groot grasperke met die springbokkies wat daar loop skep 'n rustige atmosfeer. Die verblyf is ruim, skoon en netjies en 'n mens kan ook hier kamp en miskien 'n vissie of twee vang. 'n Mens moet net kennis neem dat die restaurant Maandae om 14:00 sluit en aandete vooraf gereël moet word. Ons het nogal uitgesien om in die restaurant te eet aangesien ons op reis was en nie regtig ingerig was om self kos te maak nie, maar dit was nog steeds 'n lieflike ervaring.

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

Lovely, clean and tidy and peaceful.

It's a beautiful place with friendly staff. The large lawns with the springboks that walk there create a peaceful atmosphere. The accommodation is spacious, clean and tidy and one can also camp here and perhaps catch a fish or two. One should only note that the restaurant closes on Mondays at 14:00 and dinner must be arranged in advance. We were quite looking forward to eating in the restaurant as we were traveling and not really equipped to cook ourselves, but it was still a lovely experience.

Little green sanctuary in the semi dessert Kalahari.

Perfect location, calming atmosphere, just what a tired mind needs. Breeze of the wind through the trees and the roaring of the mighty Orange River. The flies might just sometimes spoil it, but worth the stay.
