Baie lekker gebly.

Lekker gekuier, skoon, netjiese kamers. Ons is ook baie goed ontvang en die dame was baie behulpsaam en gasvry.

Our stay was nice and relaxing. The rooms are so clean, enjoyed our sleep.

The owner is friendly and it's a quiet place.

Slegste ervaring nog.

Die Lodge het 'n ooievaars tee genooi terwyl ons daar gebly het. Daar was nie parkering vir ons nie en die mense het tot laat nag geraas. Die kamer waar ons geslaap het se teëls was los en daar was nie handdoeke nie. Daar was ook nie 'n stort nie. Die area het my baie onveilig laat voel en die paaie is in 'n baie slegte toestand, jy het n 4x4 nodig om daar uit te kom. Ek sal nie hierdie lodge vir enige iemand aanbeveel nie.

Worst experience ever.

The lodge had a baby shower while we stayed there. There were no parking and the people made a noise till late at night. The room we slept in's tiles were loose and there were no towels. There weren't a shower either. The area made me feel very unsafe and the roads are in a bad state, you need a 4x4 to get by. I won't recommend this lodge to anyone.

Worst accommodation experience.

My friends and I had the worst experience at Korundum Lodge. Firstly, we asked Nozi before coming to her lodge whether our rooms were the self-catering rooms and she said yes and when we got to the lodge and tried to use the kitchen she told us not to use her kitchen because our package isn't the self-catering one, even though we told her specifically that we want self-catering. Secondly, the pool is so small, she invited her family, relatives and their children and other guests to the lodge to use the pool and therefore the pool was overcrowded and we couldn't use the pool since these children used the pool and never gave us an opportunity to swim, and there was no way we could all fit in that pool. Thirdly, two people were sharing a room, they put two single beds together to make it seem like it was a queen size bed and covered the bed with sheets for a queen size bed and a duvet for a queen size bed, this caused us to not have a good sleeping experience at all as the beds would shift and the sheets would move. Another complaint, we asked if the package includes breakfast in the mornings, Nozi said it does but we were not given breakfast at all. Another complaint, some of the ceilings weren't in good condition in the rooms and the rooms were hot but only had fans which barely cooled the room down. The lodge says it's a three star lodge but it honestly doesn't deserve three stars at all, we weren't treated well at all. I would definitely not recommend this lodge to anyone. Korundum Lodge is more like a B&B than a lodge. Regards.

Definitely not what I expected, I would never go back.

What's advertised is different to the actual experience. The advert should be specific: individual rooms are not self-catering and meals are not included in the package. Also the lounge and TV area are not communal and situated in the main house. We could not enjoy the pool (very small one by the way), as family and friends were invited over by the owner and the children took up the entire outside area. Further, Korundum shouldn't be advertised as a lodge, it's more like a B&B (well, without the breakfast). Very disappointing!

Korundum Lodge 's response

Hi Neo,

Thank you for the review, I would like to clarify the following points that you are raising:
1. The individual rooms are advertised as individual rooms and they are not advertised as self-catering units.
2. There is nowhere we advertised the TV room as communal, yes, it is in the main house. Every room has its own TV.
3. We have a 6m x 4m pool. It may not be that big but it's big enough for people who want to make use of it. Had you really wanted to make use of it, you should have indicated that I believe you would have been given a chance. The swimming pool is there for everyone who has booked at the lodge.
4. We advertise ourselves as a lodge because of the number of rooms that we have.

Ook maar net probeer slaap tussen harde musiek in jou ore, nee wat!

Dis skoon en netjies, maar uiters swak woonbuurt met stortingsterrein reg langs die plek - nee - sal glad nie aanbeveel nie! Geraas tot laatnag met musiek! Glad nie eers daar ontbyt geëet nie - sommer vroeg gery om weg te kom.

Also just try to sleep with loud music in your ears, no what!

It's clean and tidy, but extremely poor neighborhood with landfill right next to the place - no - would not recommend at all! Noise until late night with music! Didn't even have breakfast there - just drove early to get away.

Het dit baie geniet.

Het baie lekker gebly en die eienaar is vriendelik en behulpsaam, hulle gee om vir hulle besoekers. Dis gerieflik as jy blyplek soek indien jy na 'n troue of funksie toe gaan vir een aand.

Enjoyed it a lot.

Had a great stay and the owner is friendly and helpful, they care about their visitors. It's convenient if you're looking for a place to stay if you're going to a wedding or function for one night.
