Regte egte Karoo gasvryheid!

Ons was die enigste gaste in die hotel, maar steeds was al die personeel daar om ons te verwelkom en reg te staan. Nogmaals dankie aan Merino Junction vir julle gasvryheid en omgee!

Die hotel was eintlik toe op 'n Maandag, hoekom vat hulle dan 'n bespreking?!

Die bed was gemaklik en alles was skoon en netjies, maar die toilet was stukkend en mens sit nie gaste in 'n 'toe' hotel nie!

The hotel was actually closed on a Monday, so why do they take a reservation?!

Such a beautiful gem that is deteriorating a bit.

We have stayed here in the past but this time we were slightly disappointed in a few things. Staff friendly but not helpful. From wrong room and keys to yellow toilet paper. bartender grumpy. couldn't swim. apparently there was glass in the pool. wandered around next morning to hand in keys. couldn't get to gate. Other guest came to help. Bathroom needs a fix. A family room cannot have just one mirror by the sink in the bathroom.

Handige oorslaap op N12.

Gerieflike stopplek met restaurant. Disse is lekker, maar onverwags duur vir die klein porsies! Alarms het ons wakker gemaak na beurtkrag en ons het besluit om 03:00 te vertrek. Die kamer, bed, badkamer en WiFi is gerieflik. Ek sal Merino Junction aanbeveel vir iemand wat die N12 na of van die Kaap gebruik, al is dit nie halfpad nie.

Handy stopover on N12.

Convenient stop with restaurant. These are tasty, but unexpectedly expensive for the small portions! Alarms woke us up after load shedding and we decided to leave at 3am. The room, bed, bathroom and WiFi are comfortable. I would recommend Merino Junction to anyone using the N12 to or from the Cape, even if it is not half way.

Kamer is so vriendelik en skoon met heerlike beddegoed. Mooiste uitsig oor die pragtige Karoodorpie.

Dit was baie aangenaam om vir oulaas in die skone Karoo by julle te oornag en die lamsvleis was heerlik. Ons het bietjie lank gewag vir ons kos, amper gevoel asof ons 'n tweede bediening was en die kos van voor af moes gaargemaak word en van dit was nie heeltemal sag nie. Maar alles was andersins baie lekker by julle. Dankie vir die lampie vir die loadshedding, dit het sommer baie gehelp.

Room is so friendly and clean with lovely bedding. Most beautiful view over the beautiful Karo village.

It was very pleasant to spend the night with you for the last time in the beautiful Karoo and the lamb was delicious. We waited a bit long for our food, almost felt like we were a second serving and the food had to be cooked from scratch and some of it wasn't quite tender. But everything was otherwise very nice with you. Thanks for the lamp for the loadshedding, it just helped a lot.

Aangename ervaring.

Merino Junction is 'n tydlose hotel met 'n kombinasie van moderne en outydse sjiek. Die kamers is pragtig netjies, die beddens slaap lekker en is gemaklik. En die restaurante op die perseel maak heerlike, plattelandse boerekos. Die personeel is baie vriendelik, geduldig en behulpsaam. Daar is net nie 'n speelkamer soos in die foto's nie.

Merino Junction is a timeless hotel with a combination of modern and old-fashioned chic. The rooms are beautifully tidy, the beds sleep well and are comfortable.

Quiet stopover en route from Cape to Gauteng.

We decided to take the alternative route back to Gauteng from the Cape and were caught in a rain storm. Tired of driving we took a chance with a last-minute booking in the quaint little town of Victoria West. It is a picturesque little town straight out of the history books. The room was comfortable, clean and reflected old style charm. We were very happy.

Behalwe vir die elektriese muskietdoder wat die krag 'getrip' het, was alles ok.

1. Die maaltyd was effens koud toe dit voor my neergesit is, maar is sonder versuim warm gemaak. 2. Die outydse deure het 'n venster aan die bokant waardeur die gang se lig skyn. Hoewel ek die inisiatief geneem het om die lig af te skakel, behoort bestuur 'n plan te maak om die ventser met iets te bedek.

Apart from the electric mosquito killer which 'tripped' the power, everything was ok.

1. The meal was slightly cold when it was placed in front of me, but was warmed up without delay. 2. The old-fashioned doors have a window at the top through which the corridor's light shines. Although I took the initiative to turn off the light, management should make a plan to cover the ventser with something.

Accommodation comfortable and clean with everything working.

Would strongly recommend the owners revise their kitchen, as we waited 2 hours for our food order. It was then sent to our room as we had left our table. On taking the matter further with the manager, we were informed that the other guests had pre-ordered their food "in the bar". This excuse we find totally unacceptable in this day and age.

Die gesinskamer is lekker ruim. Dit was net ‘n oorslaap op pad huis toe van die Krugerwildtuin af.

Dis die tweede jaar wat ons hier oorslaap op pad terug van die Krugerwildtuin af. Verlede jaar was ook op ‘n Saterdag. Daar was toe ook ‘n funksie (verjaardagpartytjie), maar so net na 21:00 het hulle nie meer geraas nie. Die personeel is vriendelik en behulpsaam, en daar is veilige parkering agter die hotel.

Kamers is baie netjies, maar swak kliëntediens. Dis nie soos dit geadverteer word van restaurant en bar se tye en diens nie.

Daar is vir ons gesê hul kan nie die restaurant/bar vir 3 mense oopmaak soos die tye gesê is nie. Dit het eers 5 uur oopgemaak en hulle het ons aangejaag om klaar kos en drinkgoed te bestel om weer toe te maak. Kon nie rugby kyk nie, behalwe in dubbelverdieping in kamer. Onmoontlik met 'n 2-jarige kind.

Rustig, ruim kamer en veilige parkeerplek. Kos is heerlik en personeel baie vriendelik.

Ek sal vir seker weer daar oornag. Ontbyt en aandete is op dieselfde perseel wat baie gerieflik is. Saam met goeie akkommodasie is dit die ideale oornagplek.

Toertjie deur die Noord-Kaap.

Ons het heerlik gekuier by Merino Junction. Lieflike kamers en lekker geëet in die restaurant. Gasvry en nostalgie van oudagse hotel. Perfek vir 'n aand se oorslaap of om omgewing te verken.

Kan met 'n geruste hart Merino Junction aanbeveel.

Merino Junction bied gerieflike oornag verblyf. Ons het 'n gesinskamer bespreek met ons reis van Kaapstad na Pretoria en die kamers is baie ruim en gerieflik. 'n Ware ervaring om in so historiese hotel te kon oorslaap. Die aandete was fantasties en ek sal beslis die karoo skaapdisse aanbeveel, porsies is ook groot genoeg vir die honger reisiger na 'n lang dag op die pad. Alle etes bied waarde vir geld. Die diens is goed en vriendelik, soos wat mens kan verwag in die platteland!

Can recommend Merino Junction with confidence.

Merino Junction offers comfortable overnight accommodation. We booked a family room on our trip from Cape Town to Pretoria and the rooms are very spacious and comfortable. A real experience to be able to sleep in such a historic hotel. The dinner was fantastic and I would definitely recommend the karoo lamb dishes, portions are also big enough for the hungry traveler after a long day on the road. All meals offer value for money. The service is good and friendly, as you can expect in the countryside!

Overnight stay in Victoria West at Merino Junction.

We spent a Sunday night at Merino Junction on our way home from the Kgalagadi. The hotel is very old but beautiful and our room was large and comfortable. We enjoyed a lovely dinner in the dining room with its lovely old pressed ceilings and chandeliers. We also had a delicious breakfast at the coffee shop before our departure. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.

Exceeded expectations.

Not sure what we would be getting, especially when we realised it was the old town hotel. We were more than surprised, we had an excellent room with all amenities more than suitable for a family of 5. One can see that a lot of money have been spent to rejuvenate and restore the old building (more money will probably still be required), but they did an superb job already to make one feel at home and part of the town history. The service was top notch with staff really going out of their way to make you feel welcome!

Overnight stay by 8 bikers.

The stay was very pleasant. The rooms are nice. The staff - all of them were very nice and provided excellent service. The dinner was very good. The only real issue was that although the aircons seem to work, they are underpowered and do not warm up the room. But electric blankets do compensate. We will stay here again in future.

Gemengde gevoelens.

Grootste klagte is dat ons deur vlooie gebyt is, het een kon vang en doodmaak. Verder was die matras effens holgeslaap en geen water was in die badkamer beskikbaar met beurtkrag die volgende oggend nie. 'n Mens sou kon hanteer indien vooraf ingelig. Lugversorger was 'n groot pluspunt en verblyf verder aangenaam.

Mixed feelings.

Biggest complaint is that we were bitten by fleas, managed to catch and kill one. Furthermore, the mattress was slightly hollow and no water was available in the bathroom on load shedding the next morning. One could handle if informed in advance. Air conditioner was a big plus and stay was otherwise pleasant.

Everything was fine, but the service and contact with management was 'non existing'.

Where is the Karoo friendliness and hospitality? The receptionist was friendly, checked us in and showed us the room. Well. Then we went down at around 16:00 to watch the rugby in the bar - the bar was closed. OK, then we watched the rugby in our room. There is no one at reception or anywhere to ask. There was a young man in the bar when we checked in, but he didn't even introduce himself or welcome us. Dinner was OK, not fantastic, 4am an alarm goes off in the hotel - my husband went to check if our car was safe but couldn't get out of the hotel building. No one else in the hotel. It turns out the next morning there was indeed a burglary. We slept well, but the service and hospitality was sadly lacking.

Oorslaap op pad huis toe van vakansie af.

Op pad terug van die Krugerwildtuin daar oorgeslaap. Alles was netjies en skoon en het gewerk. Daar was ‘n 80ste verjaardag partytjie maar ons was moeg genoeg dat die bietjie geraas ons nie gesteur het nie.

Sleepover on the way home from vacation.

Dit was lekker, baie kort, maar ek het tuis gevoel.

Die badkamer, en komubuis was relatief vuil in terme van aanpaksels van kalk ens. Die stort, wasbakke en selfs die ketel het bietjie aanpaksels gehad. Dit sit mens bietjie af. Maar die res van die plekkie was heel mooi. Dit sal wel baie waardevol wees om die plekkies behoorlik te spring clean en te skrop voordat gaste die kamer betreë. Die bietjie vuiligheid laat mens wonder oor hoe skoon die res is. Die restaurantjie was uitstekend, die kos was baie lekker gewees.

It was nice, very short, but I felt at home.

The bathroom, and kitchen sink were relatively dirty in terms of scale deposits etc. The shower, sinks and even the kettle had some problems. It puts you off a bit. But the rest of the place was very beautiful. It would be very valuable to clean and scrub the areas properly before guests enter the room. The bit of dirt makes one wonder how clean the rest is. The restaurant was excellent, the food was very good.

Vyfster verblyf vir die moeë lyf

Die hotel is puik gerestoureer. Die ontvangs was gul en warm, al was ons laat het die dame vir ons opgewag op 'n Saterdagaand. Die beddens was top gehalte, die kamer en beddegoed was kraakvars en skoon, die stort verwelkomend. Die parkeerplek was groot en voldoende vir my bakkie met groot waentjie. Veilig agter geslote hekke. Ek sal enige ryd weer hier vertoef as ek terugkom of afry Kaap toe. Victoria Wes as dorp, met sy mooi argitektuur en gerestoureerde hisroriese geboue het my absoluut bekoor. Dis pragtig skoon, sonder besoedeling en die strate is wyd, net soos die uitgestrekte Karoovlaktes. Dis ook presies halfpad Kaap toe.

Five star accommodation for the tired body

The hotel has been superbly restored. The reception was generous and warm, even though we were late the lady waited for us on a Saturday evening. The beds were top quality, the room and bedding were crisp and clean, the shower welcoming. The parking space was large and sufficient for my pickup truck with a large stroller. Safe behind closed gates. I will stay here again any time I come back or drive down to the Cape. Victoria West as a town, with its beautiful architecture and restored historic buildings absolutely charmed me. It's beautifully clean, without pollution and the streets are wide, just like the vast Karoo plains. It's also exactly halfway to the Cape.

Heerlike oornagverblyf met vriendelike diens.

Baie vriendelike ontvangs gehad met aankoms. Die bestuur het ons baie welkom laat voel. Ons 2-jarige het dit vreeslik geniet om met die hond (Lady) te speel. Veilige parkering. Kamers is baie skoon en netjies en beddens baie gemaklik. Baie rustig. Ek sou wel graag aanbeveel om 'block-out' agter die gordyne te sit (dis maar persoonlike voorkeur van ons om 'n donker kamer te hê), maar ons het darem steeds lekker gerus. Lekkerste skaapnek vir aandete gehad by die bistro. Beperkte spyskaart en wynlys maar topgehalte en baie vriendelike diens. Ek kan die plek definitief aanbeveel en sal graag terugkeer.

I would like to recommend block out curtains (it is a personal preference of ours to have a dark room), but we had a good rest anyway. Most delicious lamb neck for dinner at the bistro. Limited menu and wine list but top quality and very friendly service. I can recommend the place for sure and would like to return.

Vriendelike personeel wat bereid is om ekstra myl te loop vir die gaste - jammer ons kon nie die restaurant en kroeg besoek nie, sou die ervaring meer spesiaal gemaak het.

Sluit lang vakansiereis af met 'n juweel verblyf in die Karoo.

Pragtige ou geskiedkundige hotel in Victoria-Wes wat omskep was in 'n gebruikersvriendelike gebou wat 'n puik bestemming bied aan besoekers. Die karakter van die gebou is behou en die tema van skaap- en wolboerdery-aspekte wat 'n belangrike en integrale deel steeds van die gebied uitmaak, is suksesvol vervat in die dekor. Pragtige oudhede en strukture is behou en selektiewe uitstallings is toegevoeg om 'n heerlike atmosfeer te skep. Die kamers en beddegoed is vernuwe en bied goeie geriewe vir oornag. Die karaktervolle eetsaal is snoesig en died 'n heerlike atmosfeer. Die lamsnekgereg was 'n ete om vir altyd te onthou. Die staf is almal vriendelik en behulpsaam en trots op hul werk en werksplek. Voertuie word veilig agter veiligheidshek onder afdakke op die terrein parkeer. Baie mooi en geskiedkundige geboue binne loopafstand vanaf die hotel. Ons het dit alles baie geniet!

End a long holiday trip with a jewel stay in the Karoo.

Beautiful old historic hotel in Victoria West that has been converted into a user friendly building that provides a great destination for visitors. The character of the building has been retained and the theme of sheep and wool farming aspects, which still form an important and integral part of the area, has been successfully embodied in the decor. Beautiful antiques and structures have been retained and selective exhibits have been added to create a delightful atmosphere. The rooms and bedding have been renewed and offer good facilities for an overnight stay. The characterful dining room is cozy and creates a wonderful atmosphere. The lamb neck dish was a meal to remember forever. The staff are all friendly and helpful and proud of their work and workplace. Vehicles are parked safely behind security gates under canopies on site. Many beautiful and historic buildings within walking distance from the hotel. We really enjoyed it all!

Disappointing as we were the only guests at the time, the restaurant and the bar was closed for the evening.

On our arrival we were told that that the restaurant and bar was closed for the evening. They have recommended another restaurant, however we felt that this should have been communicated to us before our arrival. We booked with them to spent the evening at the hotel, have a drink in the bar and a meal in their restaurant. It not great to stay over at a place where there are no other guests and only 2 staff members on duty. Their receptionist was very friendly and helpful and their service was good, but this was not what we expected when we made the booking.

Ons het oornag, staff was baie hulpvaardig en vriendelik.

Hulle kort dalk nog staff. Kos het opgeraak en was nie genoeg vir al die gaste wat oornag het nie. Hulle kan dalk beter beplan as hulle gaste vra of hulle by hotel wil eet of nie. Die plek is baie ruim en waarde vir geld.

Very average.

Very average stay at this hotel. It was clean and tidy and had a good bed in the room. Ladies in the Brasserie restaurant were friendly. When we went to have breakfast at the Spot behind the hotel (same owners I suspect) it was one of the worst experiences I’ve had in a very long time. The food was good and the cook was friendly but she was the only one. The waiter and management treated us like we were a major inconvenience to their morning. It is the first time in years that I have not tipped someone on a bill. Merino Junction, those guys are ruining it for you.

Good food, neat room, no masks or sanitising.

The stay and food was great, but marred by the fact that I did not feel safe in terms of Covid measures. The owner or hostess that checked us in was not wearing a mask and neither was any waitstaff in the restaurant. As a destination that many use as a stop over, I expected better cleanliness and caution for Covid measures.

Nie baie verwelkomend.

Die kamers was baie netjies, aircon werk goed en alles was baie skoon. Ons het egter snaaks gevoel toe ons daar arriveer. Die naam van die plek is op 'n baie klein dwarsbordjie, byna onsigbaar. Verder was al die ligte afgeskakel en niemand agter die toonbank nie. Dit was 'n vreemde ervaring, en mens wil nie voel of jy by 'n spookhuis aankom as jy 'n ou hotel bespreek nie.

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

Not very welcoming.

The rooms were very neat, aircon worked well and everything was very clean. However, we felt funny when we got there. The name of the place is on a very small cross board, almost invisible. Furthermore, all the lights were off and no one behind the counter. It was a strange experience, and you don't want to feel like you're arriving at a haunted house when you book an old hotel.

Teleurstellend.

Merino Junction se webfoto's is misleidend en geneem net nadat dit oorgedoen is. Staff nie baie behulpsaam en geklee in sweetpakbroeke en plakkies. Hulle het nie water gehad daardie aand van ons verblyf, en het ons oorgeplaas na 'n ander verblyf naby. Dit was onvoorsien en ek het begrip daarvoor, maar my terugvoer gaan eerder oor die netheid en diens ontvang.

Disappointing.

Merino Junction's web photos are misleading and taken just after it was redone. Staff not very helpful and dressed in sweatpants and patches. They did not have water that night from our accommodation, and transferred us to another accommodation nearby. It was unforeseen and I understand that, but my feedback is more about the cleanliness and service received.

Genoegsaam vir 'n oorslaapplekkie Kaap toe.

Alhoewel die kamer gerieflik was het die lugverkoeling nie gewerk nie, toilet was stukkend met aankoms en het sommer self reggemaak, en kraan bly drup in die wasbak. Geen personeel aan diens na 5uur nie en restaurant was toe gewees. Parkering was ook nie voldoende aangesien padengineers eerste reg op onderdakplekke gehad het. Beddegoed was ook nie op standaard skoon gewees nie en handdoeke het gestink.

Sufficient for an overnight stay to the Cape.

Although the room was comfortable, the air conditioning did not work, the toilet was broken on arrival and fixed itself, and the faucet kept dripping in the sink. No staff on duty after 5 o'clock and the restaurant was then closed. Parking was also not sufficient as road engineers had first right to covered spaces. Bed linen was also not clean to standard and towels smelled.

Plattelandse sjarme.

Ek en my ouers het heerlik oornag in hierdie hotel. Die kamers is netjies en baie stylvol gemeubileer. Die beddens slaap heerlik en die lugversorging was 'n welkome bonus vir die Desember-hitte. Vir aandete het ons skaapnek in die bistro in die hotel geëet en dit was liplekker! Ontbyt in die kaffee om die hoek was ook heerlik. Ons het 'n baie vriendelike en warm ontvangs gehad en sal beslis weer hier kom bly.

My parents and I had a wonderful overnight stay in this hotel. The rooms are neat and very stylishly furnished. The beds sleep wonderfully and the air conditioning was a welcome bonus for the December heat. For dinner we had mutton neck in the bistro in the hotel and it was mouthwatering! Breakfast in the cafe around the corner was also delicious. We had a very friendly and warm welcome and will definitely stay here again.

Oase in die Karoo.

Ons was op pad terug na Pretoria na 'n twee weke vakansie op die Tuinroete. Ons het oornagslaapplek by Merino Junction bespreek aangesien ons al 'n vorige keer daar oornag het en 'n aangename ondervinding daar gehad het. Die ou hotel is mooi opgeknap, ons kamer was gerieflik en die beddegoed 5 ster. Die aandete was net wat ons wou gehad het, heerlike lamsvleis en groente. Ons kan Merino Junction as 'n oornagplek aanbeveel. Ons sal vir seker in die toekoms weer daar oornag.

Oasis in the Karoo.

We were on our way back to Pretoria after a two week holiday on the Garden Route. We booked overnight accommodation at Merino Junction as we had stayed the night there before and had a pleasant experience there. The old hotel has been nicely renovated, our room was comfortable and the bedding 5 star. The dinner was just what we wanted, delicious lamb and vegetables. We can recommend Merino Junction as a stopover. We will definitely stay there again in the future.

Excellent place to stay with great service and beautiful setup.

I was traveling with a student group and Merino Junction was great at providing all the services we needed for the large group. It was a pleasant stay in clean and comfortable rooms. The only issue that arose was the running out of hot water in the one room after four people took a shower in the evening, the next morning still had cold water.

Ons het die verblyf geniet en was aangenaam verras deur die lekker atmosfeer van die hotel, restaurant en kroeg.

Ons was in kamer 6 en die lig in die gang reg bokant ons deur wat heelnag gebrand het, het die kamer helder verlig wat dit moeilik gemaak het om te slaap. Ons stel voor dat die venstertjie bo die deur donker geverf word of die ganglig 'n flouer gloeilamp dalk? Behalwe dit was dit 'n wonderlike ervaring en ons sal vir seker weer daar tuisgaan.

'n Aangename oorslaapplek in die Karoo!

Ek het dit waardeer dat my bespreking vroeg op die dag van aankoms telefonies bevestig is. Die ontvangs by die hotel was goed en al ons vrae (ook oor eetplekke ens.) was beantwoord. Die ou Merino Hotel is baie netjies reggemaak in 'n plattelandse styl. Dit was redelik koud, maar die lugversorger in die kamers was effektief. ('n Elektriese kombers op die beddens so welkom gewees het.) Hoewel 'n WiFi-kode gegee was, was dit onbruikbaar stadig. Alles in die hotel (gastehuis) het die indruk gegee dat dit goed versorg, netjies en skoon is. Ons kan verblyf hier met vrymoedigheid aanbeveel.

I appreciated that my reservation was confirmed by phone early on the day of arrival. The reception at the hotel was good and all our questions (also about places to eat etc.) were answered. The old Merino Hotel has been very neatly fixed in a country style. It was quite cold, but the air conditioner in the rooms was effective. (An electric blanket on the beds would have been so welcome.) Although a WiFi code was given, it was unusably slow. Everything in the hotel (guesthouse) gave the impression that it was well cared for, neat and clean. We can confidently recommend staying here.

Brilliant customer service.

The customer service was brilliant as we only arrived after 23:00 and we were awaited and shown to our room by by management without the slightest hint of annoyance, just pure welcome. Unfortunately we had to leave very early in the morning so did not have the opportunity to try out breakfast, which would have been great I'm sure if it was a reflection of the attitude of the staff and the cleanliness of the establishment.

Heerlike oornagverblyf met uitstekende diens.

Die hotel is baie oud, maar goeie pogings tot restourasie is ingesit. Verdere aandag aan detail is egter nodig en aandag sal aan sentrale verhitting in die portaal en gange gegee moet word. Die hotelkamer was egter pragtig skoon, netjies en die beddegoed vars en snoesig. Lugreëling was voldoende om die hitte in die kamer te reguleer. Die personeel het uit hul pad gegaan om ons verblyf en ete so aangenaam moontlik te maak.

Lovely overnight stay with excellent service.

The hotel is very old but good restoration efforts have been put in place. However, further attention to detail is needed and attention will be given to central heating in the portal and corridors. However, the hotel room was beautifully clean, neat and the bedding fresh and cozy. Air conditioning was sufficient to regulate the heat in the room. The staff went out of their way to make our stay and meal as enjoyable as possible.

Good value country hotel, quiet and comfortable. Excellent dinner at a reasonable cost.

Merino Junction is a pleasant, unpretentious country hotel, clean and quiet, with friendly staff. We enjoyed a very nice dinner in the restaurant, at around R100 per person, excellent value. The hotel is ideally placed as an overnight stop for anyone travelling between Cape Town and Kimberley, and it would be a good base from which to visit the upper Karoo area.

Generally very tidy and we enjoyed our stay in Victoria West. What was disappointing was the pathetic shower head in an otherwise very modern unit as well as the fact that there was basically no shower water available, and that on a freezing cold evening / morning.

Gemaklik en netjies skoon.

Was goed verwelkom en na ons kamer verwys. Ons het uit die hotel geëet en was nie tevrede met die hoender nie, die hoenderborsie was nie tuis voorberei nie en kon sien dis uit 'n boksie voorberei en was bietjie gebrand. Die kamer self was baie mooi en netjies en die diens was goed, want hulle het sonder moeite die kos vir ons omgeruil. Ek persoonlik was heel tevrede. Ek het ook my selfoon se charger daar vergeet en die bestuurder het dit via PEP-courier gestuur. Ek wag nog, maar glo darem dit sal kom. Dankie vir die diens!

Was welcomed and shown to our room. We ate at the hotel and were not happy with the chicken, the chicken breast was not prepared there and could see it was prepared from a box and was slightly burnt. The room itself was very nice and tidy and the service was good, because they easily exchanged the food for us. I personally was quite satisfied. I also forgot my cellphone charger there and the driver sent it via PEP courier. I'm still waiting, but believe it will come. Thanks for the service!

Heerlike Karoogasvryheid.

Ons het heerlik gebly by Merino Junction. Die gebou is pragtig restoureer en die dekor is pragtig. Ons reis met n 3 en 1 jarige. Wat dit vir ons makliker sou maak met klein kindertjies sou 'n bad wees en 'n waaier/of dakwaaier in die kamer. Die kamer het lugversorging wat wonderlik is (veral in Desemberhitte), maar ek sou verkies om nie met die aircon aan te geslaap het nie. Dit was egter baie warm en jy kan nie waag om die ruite oop te maak nie, die muskiete sal jou wegdra. Maar behalwe vir dit (wat eerder 'n voorstel as kritiek is), het ons regtig lekker gebly en heerlik geëet. Die speelkamer vir die kinders was ook 'n lekker verrassing. Sal beslis weer daar oorbly!

Delicious Karoo hospitality.

We had a wonderful stay at Merino Junction. The building has been beautifully restored and the decor is beautiful. We are traveling with a 3 and 1 year old. What would make it easier for us with small children would be a bathtub and a fan/or ceiling fan in the room. The room has air conditioning which is great (especially in December heat) but I would have preferred not to have slept with the air con on. However, it was very hot and you don't dare open the windows, the mosquitoes will carry you away. But apart from that (which is more of a suggestion than a criticism), we had a really nice stay and had a great meal. The playroom for the children was also a nice surprise. Would definitely stay there again!

Was baie beïndruk met die plek wat so mooi was, asook vinnig welkom gevoel met met die hartlike verwelkoming van die personeel. Jaco, die kroegman, asook al die gaste wat in die kroeg-area gekuier het, was baie aangenaam om te ontmoet en ons het sommer 'n rukkie langer in die kroeg gekuier. Die aandete was ook baie lekker en die Karoo-skaaptjops het beslis bygedra tot die lekker ete. Beslis die moeite werd om daar oor te slaap en sal dit weer doen asook vir vriende en familie vertel van die plek. Die lugreëling in die kamer het dit net verder aangenaam gemaak om in die Karoo-area oor te slaap.

The dinner was also very tasty and the Karoo lamb chops definitely added to the delicious meal. Definitely worth staying over there and would do it again as well as tell friends and family about the place. The air conditioning in the room made it even more pleasant to sleep over in the Karoo area.

Accommodation in the centre of Victoria West.

Merino Junction turned out to be far better than we expected in a smallish Karoo town. The rooms are large, air-conditioned and comfortable. Downstairs is a huge bar and restaurant. The dinner we selected was very good. Secure parking is provided behind the hotel. Optional breakfasts are available at the Karoo Deli situated within the hotel complex, which also sells a wide variety of local jams and preserves plus cooldrinks, gifts and many other delightful things.

Skoon, netjies, vriendelik en goeie waarde vir jou geld!

Baie vriendelik ontvang, dadelik tuis gevoel, kamers was heerlik groot, skoon, netjies en huislik. Ons kon die kamers ook heerlik opwarm met lugversorging. Die eienaar het ons om verskoning gevra vir die waterdruk van die storte, a.g.v. die bevrore waterpype wat soggens bars, werk hy gedurig daaraan. Ons het sommer die aand gestort om dit te vermy! Die ete was bitterlik lekker, net jammer die borde was yskoud en het die kos binne minute koud gemaak. Merino Junction was vir ons Bolanders 'n heerlike slaapplek op pad na die Suide vanaf die Noorde!

The owner apologized to us for the water pressure of the showers, due to the frozen water pipes that burst in the morning, he constantly works on them. We just took a shower that night to avoid it! The meal was delicious, just a shame the plates were ice cold and made the food cold within minutes. Merino Junction was a lovely place to sleep for us Bolanders on the way to the South from the North!

Beautiful room with a nice view of the mountain, great rest before I drove on.

The old Victoria West Hotel converted into Merino Junction Guest House is a real feast to stay in, very nicely restored, tasteful/stylish, and very comfortable and tidy, can really recommend the place, very quiet there too, not any noise not.

Wonderlik!

Ons was aangenaam verras met ons verblyf aan die Merino Junction. Dit was ongelooflik skoon en netjies en het dadelik tuis gevoel. Die restaurant is 'n moet wanneer jy daar is, ons het heerlik gesmul aan die Merino Burger en fillet en Gerda was baie vriendelik wat ons bedien het. Hulle kroeg het 'n pool-tafel, skaak, pick up sticks, kaarte ens. om jou besig te hou. Hul wynversameling lyk ook besonders. Daar is ook 'n baie oulike winkeltjie wat ons ongelukkig nie kon besigtig nie met 'n pragtige "courtyard" agter. Dit was beslis die moeite werd vir ons en het ons "roadtrip" nog meer besonders gemaak.

Wonderful!

We were pleasantly surprised with our stay at the Merino Junction. It was incredibly clean and tidy and immediately felt like home. The restaurant is a must when you are there, we enjoyed the Merino Burger and fillet and Gerda was very friendly who served us. Their bar has a pool table, chess, pick up sticks, cards etc. to keep you busy. Their wine collection also looks exceptional. There is also a very cute little shop which unfortunately we could not see with a beautiful "courtyard" at the back. It was definitely worth it for us and made our "road trip" even more special.

Vriendelike behulpsame diens, lekker gebly.

Ons was 3 pare en het heerlik gebly en gekuier, die eienaars het ook vir ons heerlike ete verskaf. Al aanbeveling sal wees dat daar gaasvensters in kamers moet wees, aangesien daar muskiete was tydens ons verblyf.

Merino Junction is value for money with excellent customer service, highly accessible, in a quiet location and very safe.

The name "Merino Junction" belies the classy character of the hotel. Every part of the hotel is filled with interesting décor and amazing, unexpected and highly creative detail. It has certainly become our family's accommodation of choice when looking for overnight accommodation when travelling from the north of the country to Cape Town!

Outydse sjarme met 'n moderne twist - gemaklik en vriendelik.

Ons was aangenaam verras. Die badkamer sal kan doen met 'n plafon om die klanke en geure uit die kamer te hou a.g.v. die semi-oopplan opset gemaak van "dry-walls" - veral ook omdat dit houtvloere is. Beddens was baie gemaklik en diens is vriendelik. Die rookvrye kroeg was 'n groot pluspunt. Die kos in restaurant was geurig en baie goed voorberei - komplimente aan die sjef. Net jammer ons is nie ingelig van die swembad by die Deli nie, dit kon die hitte van die somersdag help verdryf het.

Old fashioned charm with a modern twist - comfortable and friendly.

We were pleasantly surprised. The bathroom could do with a ceiling to keep the sounds and smells out of the room because the semi-open plan configuration made of "dry-walls" - especially also because they are wooden floors. Beds were very comfortable and service is friendly. The non-smoking bar was a big plus. The food in restaurant was flavorful and very well prepared - compliments to the chef. Just a shame we weren't told about the pool at the Deli, it could have helped dissipate the heat of the summer day.

Bitter mooi, skoon en netjies! Aangenaam verras!

Dit was heerlik om by julle te oornag! Dankie ook dat julle spesiaal vir ons kos in die restaurant gehou het, ten spyte van soveel navraag van etes. Die plek lyk soos presies op die foto's van die webtuiste en dis lekker, want dit het 'n hoë verwagting geskep waaraan voldoen is. Egter net een klein sakie wat julle nie sal weet nie, omdat julle nie daar stort nie. Die drein het 'n vreeslike onuithoubare reuk. En ons het glad nie warm water gehad nie, my man was onder toe na die kroegman, dit was alreeds laat, en gaan vra of hy dalk kan help. Maar hyt net gesê die ou wat die onderhoud doen is nie daar nie. Geen poging aangewend om te probeer help nie, nie gaan kyk of die geyser dalk getrip het of dalk net nie aan was nie. Ons is nogal bietjie suur daaroor, maar ons sal vir seker weer by Merino Junction gaan oornag!

Very beautiful, clean and tidy! Pleasantly surprised!

It was wonderful to spend the night with you! Thank you also for keeping food in the restaurant especially for us, despite so many requests for meals. The place looks exactly like the photos on the website and that's nice because it created a high expectation that was met. However, just one small bag that you won't know, because you don't shower there. The drain has a terrible, unbearable smell. And we had no hot water at all, my husband went downstairs to the barman, it was already late, and went to ask if he could help. But he just said the guy doing the interview isn't there. No effort made to try to help, no checking to see if the geyser might have tripped or just wasn't on. We're a bit sour about it, but we'll definitely be staying at Merino Junction again!

Ons is jammer om te verneem van jul ontevredenheid. Ons was aan die begin van Desember juis besig met opgradering en werk aan die gebou en ek vermoed dit was bourommel wat ons parkeerarea soos 'n "varkhok" laat lyk het. Muskiete is ongelukkig 'n gegewe in ons dorp en hoewel ons weekliks ons perseel daarteen bespuit, kan ons ongelukkig nie 'n muskietvrye aand verseker nie. Ons vra omverskoning vir jul ongerief.

Vervalle dorpie en vervalle gebou. Kamers was vuil, vorige gaste se hare in stort en in beddens.

Ek was baie opgewonde om in 'n klein dorp se hotel te oornag. Die hotel het baie potensiaal, maar dit kort baie liefde en aandag. Die geriewe is nie skoon nie, bedmatjies en basisbedekkings smerig vuil. Daar was hare van vorige besoekers in die stort en in die bed. Alhoewel ons vooraf geboek het vir ete, het hulle slegs drie poedings voorberei vir 8 mense.

The facilities are not clean, bed mats and base covers filthy dirty. There was hair from previous visitors in the shower and in the bed. Although we pre-booked for dinner, they only prepared three puddings for 8 people.

Mari,
Ons is jammer dat jy ons dorp en perseel so negatief ervaar het. Na gelang van ons ander resensies kan ons nie help om te voel dat dit dalk effens ongegrond is nie. Indien ons weet van klagtes tydens ons gaste se verblyf sorteer ons dit vinnig uit en ons personeel is altyd gereed om te help. Die hotel is in 1890 gebou en ons is voortdurend besig met opgradering en onderhoud en ons gebou is als behalwe vervalle.

A comfortable, clean, well situated establishment with friendly and helpful staff.

Marino Junction has been beautifully restored with a lot of the old elements having been retained. Our room with en suite bathroom was clean, the bed very comfortable and the bedding was spotlessly white and crisp. Thank goodness for the aircon as well as the tea/coffee making facilities. The bar fridge was an added bonus. The food served in the restaurant was very good and the staff were efficient and friendly. We would definitely stay at Merino Junction if we were ever to stay over in Victoria West again.

Awesome ouwêreldse verblyf met 'n modernde twist.

Hierdie gastehuis lyk so gewoon van buite, maar binne is dit pragtig oorgedoen met ouwêreldse dekor items hier en daar. Die kamers is pragtig, dalkies net met 'n ekstra kombers in die kas wanneer die winter oor die dorpie regtig toesak. Die personeel is kleurvol, joviaal, intelligent en ware here. Die restaurant se kos verleen swier aan die verblyf en daar het ek die heerlikste Springbok-carpaccio ooit geëet. Well done!

Breathtaking old accommodation with a modern twist.

This guesthouse looks plain from the outside but it is beautifully renovated inside with vintage decor here and there. The rooms are beautiful, maybe just an extra blanket in the cupboard for the winter. The staff are colourful, jolly, intelligent and good hosts. The restaurant's food adds elegance to the accommodation and I had the most delicious Springbok carpaccio there. Well done!

Superb, value for money, great hospitality clean and relaxing stay.

Really great stay with hostess Nel, very welcoming and accommodating, looking after our every need. Rooms were spacious and clean and crisp linen on comfortable beds with great facilities (kitchenette). We decided to test drive the braai facilities with wood etc being supplied etc which further ensured our comfort. Thanks a ton for everything!

'n Juweel in die Karoo!

Ons was aangenaam verras met die hotel wat oorgedoen is. Alles is gerieflik en netjies. Die eienaars kan dalk oorweeg om 'n gemakstoel in die kamer te sit aangesien ons op die bed moet sit en TV kyk. Asook 'n spieël by die kragpunt indien mens jou hare met die droeër blaas. Verder was alles wat nodig is beskikbaar in die kamer. Die aandete in die restaurant was ongelooflik lekker. Die personeel was baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig.

A gem in the Karoo!

We were pleasantly surprised with the renovated hotel. Everything is convenient and tidy. The owners may consider putting an armchair in the room, as we had to sit on the bed to watch TV. And a mirror at the power outlet for when you dry your hair with the hairdryer. All the other necessities were available in the room. The dinner in the restaurant was terrific. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Baie aangename, skoon, netjies en gerieflike verbly.

Baie lekker gekuier. Mense was baie vriendelike en behulpsaam gewees. Aandete was uitstekend en smaakvol. Die hotel is pragtig in stand gehou. Die ontbyt by die Karoo Deli was nie op standaard nie. Dit het baie lank gevat vir die bietjie kos wat ons ontvang het.

Fantasties.

Die plekkie is 'n versteekte skat en absoluut 'n moet op 'n mens se bucket list. Onbeskryflik vriendelike diens, iets waaraan ons Gautengers glad nie gewoond is nie. Kamers stylvol versier met kwaliteit linne. Die hele instansie is netjies met unieke plaas décor en presiese detail. Stunning. Ons sal beslis weer van die N1 af klim om hier te oornag.

Fantastic.

The place is a hidden treasure and absolutely a must on one's bucket list. Indescribably friendly service, something we Gautenians are not used to at all. Rooms stylishly decorated with quality linen. The entire establishment is neat with unique farm decor and precise detail. Stunning. We will definitely get off the N1 again to spend the night here.

Vriendelike personeel. Mooi hotel en kamers.

Enigste slegte ervaring was dat daar nie water was om te stort in die laatmiddag en oggend nie. Verder was dit baie lekker. Ka’Roux restaurants in die hotel is 'n moet-besoek. Beste kos wat ek in 'n lang tyd op 'n besigheidstoer ervaar het.

Only bad experience was that there was no water to shower in the late afternoon and morning. Other than that, it was very nice. Ka'Roux restaurants in the hotel are a must visit. Best food I've experienced on a business tour in a long time.

Daar was 'n probleem met die watertoevoer en ons kon nie stort nie. Ons het gevoel die bestuur kon meer moeite gedoen het om die probleem op te los.

Marietjie, baie dankie vir jou terugvoering.
Oor die water kan ons ongelukkig net omverskoning vra en verduidelik dat ons in werklikheid nie veel daaraan kon doen nie, aangesien ons dorp se water toevoer gedurende Desember en nou steeds geweldig te kort skied. Ons was oor die dae wat julle hier geslaap het, 14 en 15 Desember, juis besig om 'n tenk stelsel met 'n drukpomp te installeer, wat ons toelaat om water reserwe op te bou en dan in die sisteem te gebruik wanneer die dorp nie water het nie. Dit is in talle dorpe tans die probleem en ons Munisipaliteite trek net skouers op.
Met ons tenk sisteem het ons egter nog nie weer heel sonder water gewees nie.

Ons hoop om julle weer hier by ons te verwelkom.

Vriendelike groete
Merino Junction bestuur

Lekker gebly en sal dit weer doen.

Kamer goed toegerus met yskas, mikrogolfoond en baie koffie, tee en melk. Ruim badkamer. Ongelukkig het stortkop 'n uitdaging gebied omdat genoeg water nie deurgekom het nie. Goeie restaurant en heerlik geëet.

Baie ongemaklik om te slaap in die hitte, kamers moet air cons kry.

Die plek is baie netjies, dit kort net aandag, kamers het geen nommers op deure nie, air-cons in kamers 'n moet, tye van kroeg en etenstyd moet aangebring word. Die etes is aanvaarbaar.

Very uncomfortable to sleep in the heat, rooms need aircon.

The place is very neat, it just needs a bit of attention. Rooms have no numbers on the doors, and aircons in the rooms are a must, times of pub and dinner times need to be put up. The meals were acceptable.

Goeie more Andrew

Baie dankie vir u terugvoering, dit is jammer dat die hitte die nagrus vir u onaangenaam gemaak het. Ek kan u verseker dat ons wel besig is met onderhandelinge vir die nodige lugverkoeling en alle uitstaande items soos u genoem het.

Dit is moeilik om sekere items oor 'n vakansie tydperk in die hande te kry, asook die nodige kennis om dit te installeer en daarom probeer ons dit so gou moontlik afhandel om te verseker dat ons gaste 'n goeie nagrus kan ervaar.

Groete
