Oase vir moeë lywe in die Noord-Kaap.

Skoon, veilige oorslaapplek met vriendelike, behulpsame personeel/eienaars. Ons het dadelik tuis gevoel en was vinnig gehelp met 'n awesome eetplek 'n klipgooi van waar ons oorslaap. Kalahari Lion's Rest is in 'n stil buurt met die mooiste uitsig oor landerye waar mens voor jou kamerdeur kan staan en kyk hoe die son sak en die nuwe dag in die oggend breek.

Oasis for tired bodies in the Northern Cape.

Clean, safe place to sleep with friendly, helpful staff/owners. We immediately felt at home and were quickly helped with an awesome place to eat a stone's throw from where we are staying. Kalahari Lion's Rest is in a quiet neighborhood with the most beautiful view of fields where you can stand in front of your room door and watch the sun go down and the new day break in the morning.

Heel goed vir oornagplek op reis.

Kamers is goed toegerus met alle nodige. Die hout afskortings (mure) kan sommige besoekers affekteer omdat jy kan hoor wat mense langs jou praat.

Die gastehuis is 'n houthuis, so die kamers is nie klankdig nie.

Die plek word as B&B geadverteer, maar is nie. Ek sal ook nie sê dit is regtig selfsorg nie.

Plek word bemark as B&B, maar geen ontbyt word bedien nie. Geen dek of plek vir gaste om te sit en rustig wees nie. Sal beslis nooit weer daar oornag nie.

Nie baie goed ingerig op boonste verdieping vir gaste om te sit nie. Bietjie stof en spinnerakke op die lys bokant die stort. Kamer goed ingerig, net 1 gemakstoel in kamer vir 2 mense!

Goeie ligging, heerlike kamer.

Ons het heerlik geslaap by Kalahari Lion's Rest tydens 'n vinnige besoek aan die Upington area. Ons het nie baie tyd by die slaapplek spandeer nie, maar ek kan definitief bevestig dat ons heerlik daar geslaap het. Die ligging is buite die hoofdorp en baie stil en rustig. Neem wel kennis dat dit 'n hout gebou is en as jou bure vroeg op is, gaan jy wakker word. Dit het ons egter nie gepla nie en ons het baie lekker daar gebly. Ons was baie vriendelik ontvang en het veilige parkeerplekarea gehad. Gaan bly gerus daar oor.

Good location, lovely room.

We slept great at Kalahari Lion's Rest during a quick visit to the Upington area. We didn't spend a lot of time at the place to sleep, but I can definitely confirm that we slept great there. The location is outside the main town and very quiet and peaceful. Do note that it is a wooden building and if your neighbors are up early, you are going to wake up. However, this did not bother us and we had a very nice stay there. We were received very kindly and had a safe parking area. Feel free to stay there.

Net slaapplek nodig gehad vir een aan en dit was voldoende.

Ons het drie kamers bespreek en almal was redelik tevrede, maar een kamer het nie warm water gehad om te stort nie. Ons het dit nie gerapporteer nie want dit was vroeg in die oggend en ons het vroeg gery. Alles was netjies en skoon en gerieflik, maar die mure is regtig dun en jy kan almal hoor praat en loop. As dit nie vir dit was nie, sou die plekkie regtig baie goed gewees het. Maar baie dankie vir die vriendelike ontvangs en die lekker restaurant wat aanbeveel was. Ons het lekker gerus en dit is wat ons nodig gehad het.

Just needed sleeping space for one and it was sufficient.

We booked three rooms and all were quite satisfied, but one room did not have hot water for showering. We didn't report it because it was early in the morning and we were driving early. Everything was neat and clean and comfortable, but the walls are really thin and you can hear everyone talking and walking. If it wasn't for that, the place would have been really, really good. But many thanks for the friendly reception and the nice restaurant that was recommended. We had a nice rest and that's what we needed.

Rustige familie kuier

Kalahari Lion's Rest was baie gerieflik geleë in 'n voorstedelike area - 'n hele ent uit die middedorp. Dit was baie stil en rustig. Die kamer en badkamer was gerieflik en ruim. Let wel dat dit 'n houthuis is en dat die hout wel raas en beweeg as mens daarop loop - nie vir ligte slapers nie, maar ons het heerlik geslaap. Die koffie-area was goed toegerus - ek het wel 'n mikrogolfoond gemis, maar dit was nie 'n probleem nie. Ons het heerlik gekuier en rustig geslaap. Ons motor was baie veilig agter die gebou en agter 'n elektroniese hek geparkeer. Die eienaar het ons baie vriendelik ontvang en ons op hoogte gehou van die beurtkragskedule.

Quiet family visit

Kalahari Lion's Rest was very conveniently located in a suburban area - quite a distance from the center of town. It was very quiet and peaceful. The room and bathroom were comfortable and spacious. Note that it is a wooden house and that the wood does make noise and move when you walk on it - not for light sleepers, but we slept great. The coffee area was well equipped - I did miss a microwave but that wasn't a problem. We had a great time and slept peacefully. Our car was very securely parked behind the building and behind an electronic gate. The owner received us very kindly and kept us informed about the load shedding schedule.

Sal dit nie aanbeveel nie as gevolg van hout struktuur.

Die akkommodasie is in 'n hout struktuur en die kamers is teen mekaar. Wanneer iemand loop op die houtvloer voel jy in jou kamer die beweging aan. Die klankdigting tussen die verskillende kamers is ook nie goed nie en jy kan hoor wat jou buurman praat en doen.

Would not recommend because of wooden structure.

The accommodation is in a wooden structure and the rooms are facing each other. When someone walks on the wooden floor you feel the movement in your room. The soundproofing between the different rooms is also not good and you can hear what your neighbor is talking and doing.

Dit is 'n mooi plek en gerieflik ingerig.

Ons is baie vriendelik en hartlik ontvang. Daar word moeite gedoen om gaste tuis te laat voel en met raad en daad by te staan. Die kamers is goed ingerig en die ontbyt is heerlik. Ons het vroeg vertrek en het 'n heerlike ontbyt-/peuselpakkie vir die pad gekry. Kalahari Lion's Rest is van hout gebou en dit lyk so mooi. Ongelukkig is die mure papierdun. 'n Mens hoor elke tree, fluistering en asemteug van jou bure, en dit is nie baie lekker nie!

It is a beautiful place and comfortably furnished.

We were very friendly and warmly received. Efforts are made to make guests feel at home and to assist with advice and action. The rooms are well furnished and the breakfast is delicious. We left early and got a delicious breakfast/snack pack for the road. Kalahari Lion's Rest is built of wood and it looks so beautiful. Unfortunately the walls are paper thin. You hear every step, whisper and breath of your neighbors, and it's not very nice!

Ek het grotendeels baie lekker gebly.

Omdat die gastehuis 'n hout struktuur is, is dit minder privaat vir gaste, want mens kan alles hoor wat langsaan en bo jou aangaan. As ander gaste se doen en late nie pla nie, is hierdie werklik 'n heerlike plek om te bly.

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

I had a very nice stay for the most part.

Because the guest house is a wooden structure, it is less private for guests, because you can hear everything that goes on next to you and above you. If the doings of other guests don't bother you, this really is a lovely place to stay.

Fantasties!

Heerlike ruim kamers, met baie vriendelike diens! Ons het baie vroeg gery die volgende oggend, toe pak hulle vir ons ontbytpakkies. Dit was so groot en het so 'n groot verskeidenheid kosse gehad dat ons die hele dag kon eet op die pad Hentiesbaai toe. Sal Kalahari Lion's Rest aan enige iemand aanbeveel!

Fantastic!

Lovely spacious rooms, with very friendly service! We drove very early the next morning, so they packed us breakfast packages. It was so big and had such a wide variety of food that we could eat all day on the way to Henties Bay. Would recommend Kalahari Lion's Rest to anyone!

Heerlik ontspannend.

Die gasvrou en gasheer is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.Ons het heerlik met hulle gekuier. Hulle het ons van 'n braaier voorsien sodat ons ons eie kos kon maak en selfs vir ons tafel gedek. Die ontbyt die volgende more is spesiaal vir ons vervroeg omdat ons 'n lang pad gehad het om te ry. Plus dit was 'n heerlike ontbyt.

Very relaxing.

The hostess and host are very friendly and helpful. We had a lovely time with them. They provided us with a braai so we could make our own food and even set a table for us. The breakfast the next morning was prepared special for us because we had a long way to drive. Plus it was a delicious breakfast.

Heerlike oornagstop!

Dit is 'n relatiewe nuwe plek (Oktober 2016 opgemaak) dus is alles pragtig en netjies. Stil rustige area met pragtige uitsig. Glad nie bewus van enige verkeer nie. Kamers is baie gerieflik en smaakvol ingerig. Koffie en tee met beskuit was uitgesit en 'n 250 ml melk en 2 bottels water in die yskassie. 'n Heerlike ontbyt is die volgende oggend voorgesit op die tyd wat ons verkies het. Sal hulle beslis aanbeveel!

Great overnight accommodation.

Place is relatively new (opened its doors in October 2016) so everything is beautiful and new. Quiet, peaceful area with stunning view. We weren't aware of any traffic. Rooms are very comfortable and tastefully appointed. Coffee, tea, and rusks provided, and 250 ml milk and 2 bottles of water in the fridge. Delicious breakfast served the next morning exactly at the time that suited us. I definitely recommend them.

Bekostigbare en netjiese oornagverblyf.

Baie netjies en met goeie smaak ingerig. Lekker ontbyt ingesluit by die prys. Regtig goeie waarde vir geld. Enigste hindernis is die vibrasie van die vloer wanneer iemand in ander eenhede rondbeweeg, wat veral steurend kan wees ná slaaptyd, maar dis te verwagte van houtstrukture.

Affordable and tidy overnight stay.

Very neat and tastefully furnished. Nice breakfast included in the price. Really good value for money. Only obstacle is the vibration of the floor when someone moves in other units, which can be particularly disturbing after bedtime, but it is expected of wooden structures.
