If they clean the place properly, wash the bedding and towels properly, I will recommend them. Food very expensive.

TV channels are very bad.

Ietwat teleurstellend, maar tog beïndruk met Inga se tegemoetkomendheid.

Die ligging is ideaal langs die N1-hoofweg en maak dit baie toeganklik en bereikbaar. Omdat ek self die vak Gasvryheidsbedryf as deel van Besigheidstudies onderrig het, is ek baie krities. Dié plek het 'n ouwêreldse sjarme met pragtige en goedversorgde tuine. Daar is 'n interessante museum waarvoor by die ontvangs navraag gedoen moet word. Die ruim eenheid, The Stables Luxury Rooms kamer 25, was gereed en netjies. Ons was egter onder die verkeerde indruk (weens ons eie verkeerde interpretasie of afleiding) dat dié Luxury Rooms selfsorg-eenhede is en moes toe ontdek dat ons eenheid nie 'n klein kombuisie insluit nie, maar die eienares, Inga, het ons tegemoetgekom deur die deel-kombuis vir ons beskikbaar te stel, hoewel dit ongelukkig eers die tweede dag van ons tweedag-verblyf was. Wat egter 'n bietjie gehinder het was die hoenderhaan wat albei oggende wat ons daar oornag het, van baie vroeg (drie-uur die oggend) redelik hard en aanhoudend gekraai het. Vir plaasjapies kan dit 'n gevoel van tuiswees gee, maar vir ons was dit nogal hinderlik aangesien ons stilte en rustigheid gesoek het. Ons was besorg oor die veiligheid van die terrein, want toe ons die een aand na 10 terugkeer na ons kamer, was die veiligheidshek nog wawyd oop met geen veiligheidswag in sig nie. Ons het ook nooit 'n afstandbeheer vir die veiligheidshek ontvang soos by ander gastehuise nie.

Somewhat disappointing, yet impressed with Inga's consideration.

The location is ideally situated along the N1 highway and makes it very accessible. Because I taught the subject Hospitality industry as part of Business Studies, I am very critical. This place has an old world charm with beautiful and well-kept gardens. There is an interesting museum that needs to be queried at the reception. The spacious unit, The Stables Luxury Rooms Room 25, was ready and tidy. However, we were under the wrong impression (due to our own misinterpretation or distraction) that these Luxury Rooms are self-catering units and then had to discover that our unit does not include a small kitchenette, but the owner, Inga, met our requirements by making the sharing kitchen available to us, although it was unfortunately only the second day of our two-day stay. However, what bothered a little was the chicken rooster, which quite loud and persistent on both mornings we stayed there from very early (three o'clock in the morning). For farm chickens it can give a feeling of homestead, but for us it was quite annoying as we sought peace and quiet. We were concerned about the safety of the site because when we returned to our room one night after 10, the security gate was still wide open with no security guard in sight. We also never received a remote control for the security gate as with other guesthouses.

Baie vriendelike atmosfeer.

Kiddie friendly omgewing. Ek kon vra vir 'n ontbytkospakkie wat betyds gereed was. Ettie en Johannes is beslis 'n aanwins vir Lalapanzi. Aandete was baie lekker. Die kelnerin het aandag gegee aan ons behoeftes.

Lekker beddens en kussings.

Was nie baie vriendelik verwelkom nie. Inteendeel het hulle nie eens die aankoms verwag nie en was in die verkeerde kamer sonder lugversorging ingboek op 'n dag van 41 grade. Hulle was onbehulpsaam om dit reg te stel. Die kamers was nie baie skoon - spinnerakke, gebruikte seep in die laai, glase wat na seep smaak en selfs die bad het seep ingehad. Die beddens het lekker geslaap en linne was skoon.

Great beds and pillows.

Not a very friendly welcome. In fact, they didn't even expect our arrival and we were put the wrong room without air-conditioning on a day of 41 degrees. They weren't helpful to fix it. The rooms weren't very clean - spider webs, used soap in the drawer, glasses that tasted like soap and even the bath had soap in it. The beds were nice and the linen clean.

Baie skoon, maar geen warm water gehad nie, nie die aand of oggend nie. TV se kanale was onkykbaar, eers teen 20:00 kom instel die aand.

Ek het vantevore by Lalapanzi Hotel heerlik gebly en met vol vertroue die bespreking gemaak met my gesin die keer. Was nogal teleurgesteld weens die volgende: TV-kanale was almal uitgestel, het dit gerapporteer en teen 20:00 die aand het iemand gekom om die kanale in te stel. Hy het sy hondjie saamgebring en dié het homself tuisgemaak op die bed. Ek hou van honde, maar het net gedink dis nogals vreemd om jou hond toe te laat om homself tuis te maak op gaste se bed. My seuntjie wou teen 19:00 gaan stort, geen warm water. Dit gerapporteer en hul het toe die geyser gaan aansit. Water neem 'n uur om warm te word en teen die tyd wat die water reg was, het hy reeds geslaap. Ons het ook reeds intussen slaapklere aangetrek en besluit om vroeg die volgende oggend voor ons vertrek te stort. Het aan die ontvangsdame genoem toe ons inteken dat ons vroeg 05:30 vertrek na die Limpopo Xco Fietsbyeenkoms. Toe ons teen 05:00 wou stort was daar steeds geen warm water nie. Ons is al drie sonder om te stort die dag in. Ons het besluit om tussen die 3 van ons vanaf die menu kamerdiens te bestel en bestel toe 2 23 cm pizza's teen R170 gesamentlik. Die pizzas het na 55 min koud by die kamer aangekom, na my seuntjie reeds geslaap het dus honger en vuil aan die slaap geraak. Die pizzas was minder as 15 cm in deursnee. My man het hom teen die tyd vervies en geweier om die pizza te aanvaar. Ons het teruggestap met die klein, koue pizzas en die dame by ontvangs het baie jammer gesê, hulle het die verkeerde basis gebruik. Hulle sal kyk of hulle iewers die regte een kan kry anders moet ons maar ons geld terugvat. Gevolglik het ons al drie vuil en honger gaan slaap.

Very clean, but had no hot water, neither in the evening nor in the morning. TV's channels were unwatchable, the evening only came to set at 20:00.

I had a great stay at Lalapanzi Hotel before and confidently made the reservation with my family this time. Was quite disappointed due to the following: TV channels were all on hold, reported it and by 8pm in the evening someone came to tune the channels. He brought his puppy with him and it made itself at home on the bed. I like dogs, but just thought it was kind of weird to let your dog make himself at home on a guests bed. My little boy wanted to take a shower by 7pm, no hot water. This was reported and they then started the geyser. Water takes an hour to warm up and by the time the water was ready he was already asleep. We had already put on pajamas and decided to shower early the next morning before our departure. Mentioned to the receptionist when we checked in that we were leaving early at 05:30 for the Limpopo Xco Cycling event. When we wanted to take a shower at 05:00 there was still no hot water. All three of us entered the day without showering. We decided to order room service from the menu between the 3 of us and then ordered 2 23 cm pizzas for R170 together. The pizzas arrived cold to the room after 55 min, after my boy had already slept so fell asleep hungry and dirty. The pizzas were less than 15 cm in diameter. By then my husband was disgusted and refused to accept the pizza. We walked back with the small, cold pizzas and the lady at reception said very sorry, they used the wrong base. They will see if they can find the right one somewhere, otherwise we just have to take our money back. As a result, all three of us went to bed dirty and hungry.

Goeie diens, instandhouding kort aandag.

Teleurstellend as die toegangshek se kontrole vir die MTB-roete nie werk nie, veral na die vorige dag se lekker fietswedren. Seer spiere kort weer 'n ligte oefening na die tyd.

Disappointing if the entrance gate check for the MTB route doesn't work, especially after the previous day's fun bike race. Sore muscles need a light exercise again after the time.

Uiters swak!

Die deure en ingang na die kamers is fisies laag en baie klein, binne was daar baie waterdampmerke op die mure, en muf op die dak van die badkamer. Daar was 'n verwarmer in die kamer wat heeltemal stukkend was en in twee dele aan die muur gehang het. Die bed was kliphard en uiters ongemaklik. Ons het ook vroeër die aand by die restaurant gaan eet, die menu het 'n groot verskeidenheid maar 3 van die disse wat ons bestel het kon hul nie maak nie aangesien hulle uit voorraad was. Verder het die bord kos wat ek gekry het ook nie ooreengestem met dit wat op die menu geadverteer word nie, nadat ek daaroor navraag gedoen het was daar net vir my gesê dat hulle die dis verander het na slegs een chop en sonder die sous i.p.v. 2 chops plus appelsous soos wat dit geadverteer word. Maar ek moes steeds die volle prys betaal! Ek sal vir seker nooit weer daar oorslaap nie.

Extremely weak!

The doors and entrance to the rooms are physically low and very small, inside there were many water vapor marks on the walls, and mold on the roof of the bathroom. There was a heater in the room that was completely broken and hanging on the wall in two parts. The bed was rock hard and extremely uncomfortable. We also went to eat at the restaurant earlier in the evening, the menu has a large variety but 3 of the dishes we ordered could not be made as they were out of stock. Furthermore, the plate of food I received also did not correspond to what was advertised on the menu, after I inquired about it I was only told that they had changed the dish to only one chop and without the sauce instead. 2 chops plus applesauce as advertised. But I still had to pay full price! I will definitely never sleep there again.

Lalapanzi Hotel 's response

Goeiedag Mnr. De Wet

Ons waardeer altyd kliënte se terugvoering hetsy dit goed of sleg is sodat ons altyd op ons hoede kan wees en die beste kliënte diens kan gee.
Eerstens wil ons net graag groot onverskoning vra vir u ervaring by Lalapanzi Hotel, en ons hoop om u weer terug te verwelkom in die toekoms om te kan opmaak vir al die onaangenaamheid.

Ek wil net graag bietjie agtergrond gee oor die hotel. Die hotel was in 1947 gebou deur 'n Mev. Wilkonson wat nie langer was as 1.5 m nie, en dit het begin as 'n koffie stop en toe later uitgebrei na 'n hotel. Sy het letterlik met haar voet merke op die grond gemaak waar hul gebou het en sy het gewys waar deure, vensters ens. ingesit moet word en soos u self kan indink, sou haar arm nie hoër as so 1.8 m kon wys op 'n muur nie. Ons het nou al intussen meeste van die kamers oorgedoen en standaard deure ingesit, maar ongelukkig is kamer 10, 1 van 2 eenhede wat nog gedoen moet word en ons is vreeslik jammer vir hierdie ongerief van 'n lae deur.

Ons doen deurentyd inspeksie, onderhouding en opknapwerk in alle kamers en soms is dit moontlik om iets oor te slaan en daarom waardeer ons ook altyd as 'n kliënt by ontvangs iets kom rapporteer sodat ons dadelik aandag daaraan kan gee.

Ons het ook intussen nou die verwarmer vervang en dankie dat u ons in kennis gestel het daarvan.
Kamer 9 het 'n splinternuwe matras in, so ons neem aan u praat dan van kamer 10 se matras, weereens dankie dat u dit uitlig. Ons kyk graag dan na die probleem.

Baie jammer oor die spyskaart seleksie wat nie volledig in voorraad was nie. Ons kyk ook dan graag daarna en maak die nodige veranderinge, verder is dit dan ook die kelner se verantworrdelikheid om te kyk dat alles op die bord is wat uitgaan na die kliënt. Die kelner moes kyk vir die appelsous, en die nodige stappe word dan ook geneem teenoor die kelner. Die afgelope ruk het ons vreeslik gesukkel om die regte grootte vark tjops te kry en toe besluit dat dit dan maar beter sal wees om net 1 groot tjop te kry. Ons is ook huidiglik besig om die spyskaart op te dateer.

Weereens wil ons by Lalapanzi net graag vir u onverskoning vra vir u eerste ervaring by ons. Ons vra ook dan net graag dat u asseblief eers by ontvangs of bestuur u bekommernisse meedeel om te kyk of ons nie dadelik na u behoeftes kan omsien terwyl u nogsteeds hier is nie.

Vriendelike groete

Oulike bestemming naby die snelweg.

Die hotel bied goeie akkommodasie vir iemand wat oornag-akkommodasie soek op die lang pad. Die hotelpersoneel was baie vriendelik en het uit hulle pad gegaan om my verblyfervaring so aangenaam as moontlik te maak. Die omgewing is ook baie mooi, ek sal dit oorweeg om weer daar te bly net om die nabye omgewing te verken. Die restaurant bedien heerlike disse. Al verbetering wat ek kan voorstel is onderdak parkering.

Quaint accommodation near the highway.

The hotel offers good accommodation for someone looking to stay the night near the highway. The hotel staff was very friendly and went out of their way to make my experience as pleasant as possible. The environment is beautiful and I would consider staying here again just to explore the surrounding area. The restaurant serves delicious meals. The only improvement I could recommend is covered parking.
