For our trip through the beautiful Namaqualand with the flower splendour, it was the right decision to stay for a overnight spot.

Extremely peaceful place, we really enjoyed it. The stars were very clear at night. Facilities are extremely well kept. The drive from Skilpad to Kallabaskop was beautiful, as was the drive from Kallabaskop down to Hondeklipbaai - Kallabaskop is a good stopover point.

Good for a stay, bring everything you need, especially food and water.

Venue is good. You need to bring your own kitchen. One utensil/crockery supplied per couple! No hot water for 2 days because the heater was forgotten? No wood to heat the fire yourself. No cell reception to call for assistance. No staff seen for 2 days.

Kallabaskop Eco Lodge 's response

Good day.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

As we advertised, Kallabaskop Eco Lodge is an eco lodge and we do advertise that we heat water with wood.
We make a fire for the donkie at 5 pm, as explained to all our guests. And for the kitchen, it is a self-help accommodation, so we only put in the necessary crockery.

Simplisties maar aanvaarbaar.

Die verblyf was skoon maar detail aandag nie geskenk aan die eetgerei in die huisie nie. Hul soek 'n breakage fee maar nie all die eetgerei en glase was in die huis beskikbaar nie. Andersins was die verblyf billik maar te duur vir wat jy kry.

Even being asked to bring everything we would need for the night as there are no stores in the vacinity did not prepare us. This was not what we expected, however, it was basic and all our needs were catered for. The bathrooms were neat and clean and the showers hot. The receptionist, pleasant. I would stay there again.

Uiters swak kommunikasie met bestuur.

Na 4 ure se reis vanaf Kaapstad moes ons in die amper donker vir ongeveer 'n uur voor die hek langs die grondpad staan en wag vir iemand om vir ons die hek oop te sluit. Geen een van die telefoonnommers op die kennisgewing borde het geantwoord nie behalwe die eienaar wat in Upington sit. Dan versoek hy my om oor die draadheining te klim en sowat 500m te voet te stap om te kyk of daar iemand tuis is by die lodge. Wat 'n ontvangs vir 'n moeë pensioenaris wat wil kom blommekyk! Uiteindelik toe iemand ('n jong mannetjie en 'n dogtertjie) daar opdaag en die hek kom oopsluit, was daar geen voorbereiding vir ons as toeriste gedoen nie. Die kamers was nog nie skoongemaak nie, die beddens was nog nie opgemaak nie, die lapa was vol sand, die stoof se gasbottel was leeg, ens. Met al die stories van die Namakwa-mense se gasvryheid was dit als behalwe gasvryheid, dit was pateties. Ek sal niemand aanbeveel om daarheen te gaan nie. Slegs 1 km verder is daar nog 'n Lodge wat baie beter is en 'n mens laat welkom voel. Jammer, maar hierdie Kallabaskop Lodge se mense moet nog baie leer van hospitaliteit en gasvryheid!

Extremely poor communication with management.

After a 4 hour journey from Cape Town, we had to stand in front of the gate along the dirt road in the near darkness for about an hour and wait for someone to unlock the gate for us. None of the phone numbers on the notice boards answered except the owner who sits in Upington. Then he requests me to climb over the wire fence and walk about 500m on foot to see if anyone is home at the lodge. What a reception for a tired pensioner who wants to come and look at flowers! Finally when someone (a young man and a little girl) arrived there and came to unlock the gate, there was no preparation done for us as tourists. The rooms had not yet been cleaned, the beds had not yet been made, the lapa was full of sand, the stove's gas bottle was empty, etc. With all the stories of the Namakwa people's hospitality, it was anything but hospitality, it was pathetic. I would not recommend anyone to go there. Only 1 km further there is another Lodge which is much better and makes you feel welcome. Sorry, but this Kallabaskop Lodge's people still have a lot to learn about hospitality!

Rus en vrede sonder selfoonsein, maar soutwater is rof.

Die verblyf is uniek. Daar is 5 kamers, elkeen in sy eie unieke helder kleur ingerig. Ons was in die pers kamer en dit was vrolik. Daar is ook kampeerplekke. Die algemene lapa is goed toegerus en ons het heerlik daar gekuier. Hendrina, die gasvrou is gereed om te help, maar dring haar nie op nie. Die water is vreeslik sout en dit maak skottelgoed vaal en mense skurf, maar lyfroom kon dit beheer. Hulle voorsien vars water om te drink en mee te kook en dit is doeltreffend. Ek sou graag vooraf wou weet dat daar nie ys beskikbaar is nie (ten spyte daarvan dat die website dit aandui) en ook nie regtig enige winkel om by te koop nie. Dit sal ook gaaf wees om te weet dat daar geen selfoonsein is nie, want wanneer mens toer moet jy dikwels vorentoe antwoord en dit was onmoontlik. Die omgewing is mooi en ons het heerlik gekuier.

Peace and quiet with no cellphone signal, but salt water is rough.

The accommodation is unique. There are 5 rooms, each decorated in its own unique bright color. We were in the purple room and it was cheerful. There are also camping sites. The general lapa is well equipped and we had a great time there. Hendrina, the hostess is ready to help, but does not push her. The water is terribly salty and it makes dishes dull and people scabby, but body lotion could control it. They provide fresh water for drinking and cooking and it is efficient. I would have liked to know in advance that there is no ice available (despite the website stating so) nor really any store to buy from. It would also be nice to know that there is no cell phone signal, because when touring you often have to answer ahead and it was impossible. The surroundings are beautiful and we had a great time.

Teleurstellend.

As enkelreisiger wat vir 2 persone betaal was ek geweldig teleurgesteld met dit wat aangebied is. Ek sou voorstel dat daar wel in die beskrywing van die lodge genoem word dat die storte in aparte ablusiegeriewe beskikbaar is en dat die area nie werklik vir 'n persoon van 88 jare ouderdom, wat nie die beweeglikste is, geskik is nie. Die feit dat daar vir basiese aankope redelik wyd gereis moet word sou ook eerder in die oorsig genoem moet word.

Translate to English.

Disappointing.

As a single traveler paying for 2 people I was extremely disappointed with what was offered. I would suggest that in the description of the lodge it is mentioned that the showers are available in separate ablution facilities and that the area is not really suitable for a person of 88 years who is not the most mobile. The fact that you must travel quite far for basic purchases should also be mentioned earlier in the profile.

Geen waarde vir geld nie, 'n ramp. Ek sien ek moet 'n ster rate, maar sorry die verdien geen sterre nie.

Dis nie 'n Lodge nie hulle moet eerder adverteer as 'n backpackers. Die verwagting van die lodge was die teenoorgestelde wat ons verwag het - pateties. Kamer klein. Geen spasie langs beddens nie. Een kan op 'n manier afkllim die ander moet afseil onder toe om af te klim. Beddens in geprop met geen bedkassies nie. Matrasse in deur gelê. Brakwater in kamer. Moet 'n ent loop om te stort en ons is gewaarsku om mooi te loop, trappe en vloer glad! Really? Ablusieblokke is kommunaal. Asook om warm water te kook en kos te maak was ook kommunaal. Een stoof vir almal wie kyk en wie kook. Vars water in 'n 5l-kan! Son krag wat 3 uur die oggend afgaan dan gaan fan af asook die yskas. Yskas wat afgaan is nie goed om insulien koud te hou. Alles was vuur warm in die yskas die oggend. Die gebou is prefab en baie baie warm! Julle kan die verander na 'n backpackers of haal van julle lys af. Die beskrywing is misleidend.

No value for money, a disaster. I see I should rate a star, but sorry it doesn't deserve any stars.

It's not a Lodge, they should rather advertise as a backpackers. The expectation from the lodge was the opposite of what we expected - pathetic. Room small. No space next to beds. One can get off in a way the other has to sail down to the bottom to get off. Beds crammed in with no bedside tables. Mattresses laid in door. Brackish water in room. Have to walk some distance to shower and we were warned to walk carefully, stairs and floor smooth! Really? Ablution pads are communal. As well as boiling hot water and making food was also communal. One stove for all who watch and who cook. Fresh water in a 5l jug! Solar power that goes off at 3 o'clock in the morning then the fan goes off as well as the fridge. Fridge that goes off is not good for keeping insulin cold. Everything was hot in the fridge in the morning. The building is prefab and very very warm! You can change it to a backpackers or take it off your list. The description is misleading.

Lekker gebly.

Ons het lekker gebly en hulle het baie moeite gedoen om aan al ons behoeftes te voorsien. Dit was 'n baie koue nag, maar ons het heerlik warm geslaap! Ons was alhoewel teleurgesteld omdat ons onder die indruk was dat die lodge in die blompark is en op die foto's lyk dit omring deur blomme, maar ons het weer gaan lees en as mens mooi kyk staan daar hul is 40 km van die park af. Ons het ook amper vasgesit op die grondpad vanaf Hondeklipbaai wat nat was nadat ons gevra het of al die paaie gangbaar is vir gewone voertuie. Die tariewe vir die bykosse en water was ook hoog.

Nice stay.

We had a great stay and they made a lot of effort to meet all our needs. It was a very cold night, but we slept wonderfully warm! Although we were disappointed because we were under the impression that the lodge is in the flower park and in the photos it looks surrounded by flowers, but we went to read again and if you look closely it says they are 40 km from the park. We also almost got stuck on the dirt road from Hondeklip Bay which was wet after we asked if all the roads were passable for normal vehicles. The rates for the side dishes and water were also high.

Houthuisie in die Namakwa vlaktes.

Oornag in 'n houthuis met lekker stoep vir beskerming teen wind. Netjies en vriendelike ontvangs. Bring eie vars drinkwater. Stortgeriewe in aparte blok. Lekker staproetes op plaas.

Wooden house in the Namakwa plains.

Overnight in a wooden house with a nice porch for protection from the wind. Neat and friendly reception. Bring your own fresh drinking water. Shower facilities in separate block. Nice hiking trails on the farm.

Once they get the hot water system sorted, will be a great place to stay.

The huts are very small and a double bed instead of the twins would allow more space for cases and gear. The tiny bathroom needs a small table. The hot water system in the ablution block needs to be separated from the cold system, so as to avoid pressure drop. Otherwise a great place!

Dit was 'n aangename oornagting.

Die personeel was vriendelik, gasvry en behulpsaam. Die huisies is goed ingerig. Die feit dat daar nie warm water in die huisie is nie, is nogal 'n probleem. Die storte is ook buite in 'n afsonderlike ablusieblok. Jy kamp eintlik! Ons het in die lapa die aand gebraai wat baie knus en aangenaam was.

It was a pleasant overnight stay.

The staff were friendly, hospitable and helpful. The cottages are well furnished. The fact that there is no hot water in the cottage is quite a problem. The showers are also outside in a separate ablution block. You are actually camping! We had a barbecue in the lapa in the evening which was very cozy and pleasant.

Baie frustration a.g.v. onvoorbereid op kamp tipe lewe.

Ons het baie gesukkel om die plek te vind, baie verdwaal. Aanwysings nie voldoende nie. Ons het nie warm water gehad, kon net een keer gaan stort in vier dae. Geen kombers vir die koue nie. Moes by ander wat daar bly hoor hoe werk als daar. Enigste ligpunt is vrou wat daar werk. Sy is stunning en het uit haar pad gegaan om ons te help met alles. Dankie.

A lot of frustration because unprepared for camp type life.

We had a lot of trouble finding the place, got lost a lot. Directions not sufficient. We had no hot water, could only take a shower once in four days. No blanket for the cold. Had to hear from others who live there how things work there. Only bright spot is woman who works there. She is stunning and went out of her way to help us with everything. Thank you.

Goed, kamperingstylgeriewe, lekker. Unieke opset, baie gasvry op plaas, afgesonderd.

Ontvangs baie gasvry, plaas, vriendelikheid. Voel gou tuis en jy kuier lekker met ander gaste soos in kamperingstyl-uitleg. Kompakte houthuise, sonkrag, sentrale kombuis, gasgeriewe. Nuut met tandekry probleempies. Dit is besondere plek op plaas afgesonder ver grondpaaie. Tog sentraal tussen see en en Namakwaland vir blommetyd. Ook teen Namakwa Park. Vir seker moet jy volledig selfversorgend voorbereid wees om eie etes te berei. Baie lekker plattelanse plek heeltemal afgesonderd.

Good, camping style facilities, nice. Unique setting, very hospitable on farm, secluded.

Reception very hospitable, farm, friendliness. You soon feel at home and you have a good time with other guests as in a camping-style layout. Compact wooden houses, solar power, central kitchen, gas facilities. New with teething problems. This is a special place on a farm isolated far from dirt roads. Yet central between sea and and Namaqualand for flower time. Also against Namakwa Park. For sure, you should be fully self-sufficient prepared to prepare your own meals. Very nice flatland place completely secluded.

Gasvrou was vriendelik, maar dis ver van alles.

Die kamer was basies en skoon. Die warm water was 'n groot probleem. Pad deur Skilpad Reservaat was baie sleg, vat alternariewe roete. Bring alles saam, hout, water ens. Kallabaskop verkoop addisioneel.

Slightly "unique" setup

Accommodation in a wooden house. Somewhere there were misunderstandings with what was booked - and what was available on arrival. Alternative accommodation was offered and accepted. It's far from the next accommodation! Breakfast was ordered but poorly "presented". The name is misleading. Rather, it is self-catering in a campsite with accommodation in a log cabin.

Nie wat ons verwag het nie.

Foto's op webblad is baie misleidend. Badkamer en kombuis wat gedeel moet word is nie lekker nie. Bitter ver vanaf die dorpe as jy nie alles saambring nie en die paaie is baie swak. Nietemin het ons die beste van als gemaak en gerus. Hendriena is 'n pragtige gasvrou wat graag help.

Not what we expected.

Photos on web page are very misleading. Bathroom and kitchen that have to be shared is not nice. Very far from the towns if you don't bring everything with you and the roads are very poor. Nevertheless, we made the best of everything and rested. Hendriena is a beautiful hostess who is happy to help.
