Fresh wonderful experience.

Unfortunately I had a medical emergency and was rushed to a nearby hospital, but the rest of the family really enjoyed the stay, although short-lived.

Die verblyf was lekker en ons was heel sentraal geleë waar ons wou wees. Akkommodasie was op standaard gewees.

Goeie stop om die lang reis met kinders te breek.

Oorgebly tydens ons reis van die Kaap na Transvaal. Handdoeke, linne en vertrek was skoon. Word ook deur kontrakteurs gebruik as akkommodasie. Almal hou by gedragskode. Hekwag, Emmanuel en Frank, baie hulpvaardig.

Die feit dat mens langs die nedersetting moet afry, is nie lekker nie.

Verblyf was nie sleg nie. Bietjie probleme met rooimiere gehad. Daar is ook geen kastrol panne vir braaivleis nie. Geen bakke. Geen steakmese. Net een rol toiletpapier vir 4 gaste. Ander chalet het net 'n halwe rolletjie gehad.

Die kleiner eenhede is duidelik slegs toegerus vir kontrakwerkers.

Ons het in een van die drie eenhede aan die pad se kant tuisgegaan, was aangenaam met die plaasdiere en bietjie natuur om ons, maar later was daar redelike geraas aan die oorkant van die pad wat steurend was. Drie eenhede deel dieselfde braai en ons eenheid was swak toegerus met kombuisware. Die linne is ook oud en het vlekke op. Die TV het nie gewerk nie, 'n teleurstelling.

The smaller units are clearly only equipped for contract workers.

We stayed in one of the three units on the road side, was pleasant with the farm animals and some nature around us, but later there was quite a bit of noise on the opposite side of the road which was disturbing. Three units share the same braai and our unit was poorly equipped with kitchenware. The linen is also old and has stains on it. The TV did not work, a disappointment.

Sal nie aanbeveel nie.

Nie waarde vir geld nie. Mikrogolfoond het nie gewerk nie, die kas waarop die 2 plaatstofie staan is ongelyk, m.a.w. jou potte staan ongelyk. Sortkopkonneksie lek en die stortdeur kan nie toemaak nie, wat veroorsaak dat die vloer na elke stort papnat is. Die eenheid voor no. 18 se dreinwater loop op die gras voor no. 18 uit. Dit stink en is onooglik.

Would not recommend.

Not value for money. Microwave oven did not work, the cabinet on which the 2 plate stove stands is uneven, i.e. your pots are uneven. Showerhead connector leaks and the shower door fails to close, causing the floor to be soaked after every shower. The unit before no. 18's drain water runs on the grass in front of no. 18 out. It stinks and is unsightly.

Disappointed.

We got there firstly had to drive through what resembled informal settlements to get there. The 'guard' at the gate smelled like he hasn't showered in a couple of days. When we got to the room, both my wife and I decided we won't stay here with our kids. The room had 4 flimsy-looking beds and a 2-seater pleather couch. So thanks, but no thanks.

Naweek weg.

Eerstens ry jy nie verby 'n klein nedersetting nie. Dit is 'n onveilige area wat strek tot 2 km voor jy die plek kry. Ek het juis die plek gekies omdat dit 'n pragtige grasperk het en 'n klimraam vir my 2-jarige, maar ongelukkig was die gras beset met miere, sodat ek eers moes vra vir gif om net te kon rond beweeg op die gras. Die vrou waarmee ek gepraat het, was verskriklik ongeskik en die stemboodskap wat sy vir my gestuur het, het geklink asof ek haar pla. Die plek is oud en verwaarloos, en die kombuis is nie volledig toegerus nie. Ek het glad nie veilig daar gevoel nie. Die prys wat mens betaal, is belaglik vir dit wat mens kry. Ek sal die plek glad nie aanbeveel nie.

Weekend away.

First, you don't drive past a small settlement. This is an unsafe area that extends up to 2 km before you find the place. I specifically chose the place because it has a beautiful lawn and a climbing frame for my 2-year-old, but unfortunately the grass was infested with ants, so I had to ask for poison first just to be able to move around on the grass. The woman I spoke to was terribly incoherent and the voicemail she sent me sounded like I was bothering her. The place is old and neglected, and the kitchen is not fully equipped. I did not feel safe there at all. The price you pay is ridiculous for what you get. I would not recommend the place at all.

Baie lekker.

Dit is baie gerieflik, stil en rustig. Mooi skoon met aankoms. Alles wat jy nodig het. Het nie vloere gevee of gewas terwyl ons daar was nie. Daar is ook nie genoeg toiletpapier verskaf vir die volle verblyf nie. Hulle wou ook nie ons wasgoed doen nie, glo te veel mense en te besig, alhoewel die plek leeg was.

Good for the price.

The reception at the gate was confusing. Only when we asked where do we go did the gate guard ask us to complete forms and provide the keys. Rooms are fine, only the room needs to be aired to remove the insecticide smell. Driving through the informal settlement was no issue. Note this settlement is not a squatter camp but a suburb with sink and brick houses. A poor residential area.

Not enjoyable.

I had booked two cottages. In one cottage, the aircon leaked and was not repaired after complaints. In the second cottage, the aircon was either too small for the room or the gas was depleted as it did not cool the room. After many requests, fans were provided but were not effective against the heat due to their small size. The floors were not swept and mopped daily as stated on the website. There was no water on our last day, and it was not rectified after many complaints. Just our cottages had no water. According to the security guard, the water tank fell over the week before, which could have been the reason for no water. A week before, and yet they allow guests to occupy the cottages with no water! The prepaid electricity ran out in one cottage, and we had to phone two people to have electricity loaded. The place is nice, but the service is terrible.

Rit deur informele nedersetting onveilig. Nie naby N12 nie.

Hekwag vriendelik en behulpsaam, verwys ons egter om grondpad te neem na N12 wat privaatpad is met geslote hek. Geen koffie in eenheid nie, slegs tee. Tafeltjie op stoep vuil en taai. Matras te dun vir boksbed, voel die houtrand as jy op kant van bed sit.

Onaangenaam.

Plek is moelik om te kry, bestuur is onbehulpsaam as jy hulle skakel om die regte aanwysings te kry. Die pad is onveilig en jy ry deur 'n township om daar te kom. Daar is 'n oop rioolgat wat met gras en riettakke toegemaak is waarin my tienerseun geval het. Die matrasse is papierdun en kliphard. Die leefarea het net sitplek vir 4 mense al is daar 12 beddens en die eetkamertafel op die stoep het 6 stoele. Ek sal dit glad nie aanbeveel nie.

Unpleasant.

Location is hard to find, management is unhelpful when you call them to get the right directions. The road is unsafe and you drive through a township to get there. There is an open sewer hole covered with grass and cane branches into which my teenage son fell. The mattresses are paper thin and rock hard. The living area only seats 4 people even though there are 12 beds and the dining table on the veranda has 6 chairs. I would not recommend it at all.

We had issues with our accommodation but overall it was okay.

We did not receive the accommodation that we initially booked and eventually had to settle for something way less satisfying, communication in this regard was very poor but because we were desperate we had to settle for other options they had to offer.

Good day, I am so sorry for the bad experience you had. Newlands in now under new management and hopefully on your next trip you will be pleasantly surprised. Thank you

A two plate stove with only one working. Loosely fixed on a small stool. One knob for switch missing - not clean. The door did not lock- I used a chair as I was alone there.

Voices, people. from across the road. A man walked past me - out of his way - but was not a resident. I travel often alone - stay in various places - this was not cool. A new microwave, but no dishes to use in it. Cold night, 1 thin blanket, none in the cupboard.

Baie swak.

Ek is baie teleurgesteld. Hulle het my chalet verander na 'n goedkoper chalet sonder om dit met my te bespreek. Ek het 3 chalets bymekaar bespreek en toe sit hulle ons in verskillende chalets omtrent 'n kilometer van mekaar af.

Uiters swak. Sies.

Swak, swak, swak. Hondemis op gras, eetgerei is onpaar, ge-chip, handdoeke is stokoud, dun en kleure verskil, geen plakkers op glasskuifdeure nie, het daarin vasgeloop, 2-plaatstoof is vuil en gekrap, lyk afskuwelik. Gordyne ouer as Noag. Kamer was nie gereed toe ons arriveer nie. Ons kon glad nie van die baie klein 2-sitplekbankie buite gebruikmaak nie. Dis lendelam en die spykers en skroewe steek uit. Die planke is so dun, dit lyk soos tamatiekassies.

Weak, weak, weak. Dog droppings on grass, cutlery is odd, chipped, towels are old, thin and different colors, no stickers on sliding glass doors, ran into them, 2 plate stove is dirty and scratched, looks hideous. Curtains older than Noah. Room was not ready when we arrived. We could not use the very small 2-seater bench outside at all. It's loin lamb and the nails and screws stick out. The boards are so thin, they look like tomato boxes.

Lekker gerieflik geleë buite Kimberley maar tog naby aan dorp. Lekker plaasatmosfeer.

Dit was baie gerieflik vir ons wat net een nag wou slaap maar nie in 'n dorp/stad wou bly nie. Lekker stil plek en kamer was skoon en netjies. Al wie ons gesien het was die hekwag wat ons binnegelaat het en nog twee mense wat in die eenheid langs ons gebly het. Alles was heel aanvaarbaar.

Feedback.

This lodge has potential, herewith my issues. There was/is a fly problem, this caused major problems it was impossible to sit outside and enjoy the view or have dinner. The fly's caused major problems inside the unit as well. This is not good! Just because of this I would never recommend. 4 person chalet, but in unit 2, there was only 2 wine glasses and 2 coffee mugs. Overall the utensils are not in a good state. Plug difficult to get out. It is the small things that count. It is situated in an area I would not recommend. I was not comfortable driving that area. Because of its site it is difficult to get to food outlets. The picture of the chalets and dam do not coincide, reeds have overgrown the dam. The photograph created an expectation. Take a new photo of the chalets rather.

Weak. Disappointed.

We were met at the gate by a man who calls himself the guard. No hostess or owner. Cleaners were still cleaning when we arrived an hour after check-in time. Place doesn't look like on photos, it's only worth two stars. There are an awful lot of flies and no provisions to bring them under control, also spiders under the outside table and chairs. Aircon in master bedroom leaks on the bedding and the toilet does not flush as desired and then takes up to half an hour to refill.

Never again.

It is situated next to informal settlement. When we got there I booked lodges overlooking the dam that really do not exist. Our neighbour was a permanent resident washing his clothes in a bucket. In no 8 was a bunch of workers that live there too. We had no choice but to stay that evening, but got woken up at 4 am by loud singing and saw my neighbour cleaning his pot where the damn is meant to be. Oh and I had to buy electricity so we didn't sit in the dark. We paid for two night but left after one.

Teleurgesteld en eenvoudig swak diens.

Die basiese netheid en afronding ontbreek met ons aankoms om 13h50. Braaier spesifiek was jare laas skoongemaak. Kombuis karig ingerig vir 3+ persone. Huis was vuil, beslis nie skoongemaak nie en ruik na sigaret ook. Vlieë is oorweldigend en een lugversorger wat nie die vertrekke kan afkoel nie. Stortkop was foutief en is reggemaak op versoek (deur iemand wat toe weer rook in die huis). Die seepbakkie in stort is aan die afval van die muur en getuig van swak onderhoud en verwaarlosing deur bestuur. Vullishoop so ent van huise is die middag aangesteek wat onaangename rook afgegee het en as ons kon, sou ons opgepak het. Die ligging en toegang tot die oord is tragies en sal saam met bogenoemde swak diens die einde van die oord beteken. Al wat positief was is die dubbelbed wat sag geslaap het.

Disappointed and simply poor service.

The basic cleanliness and finishing touches were missing upon our arrival at 13h50. Grill specifically had not been cleaned in years. Kitchen sparsely furnished for 3+ persons. House was dirty, definitely not cleaned and smelled of cigarette too. Flies are overwhelming and one air conditioner that cannot cool the rooms. Shower head was faulty and was fixed on request (by someone who was then smoking again in the house). The soap dish in the shower is on the waste of the wall and shows poor maintenance and neglect by management. Garbage heaps some distance from houses were lit in the afternoon which gave off unpleasant smoke and if we could, we would have packed up. The location and access to the resort is tragic and together with the above poor service will mean the end of the resort. All that was positive was the double bed that slept softly.

Het 'n rusplek gesoek na die pad van Kaapstad af.

Met aankoms was daar reeds inwoners op die perseel wat dronk, raserig en baie harde musiek gespeel het. Die ander gaste het deurnag gekuier en hul musiek tot vanoggend wat ons 9 uur uit was steeds gespeel, ons as gesin het geen rus gekry nie, niks geslaap, het die bestuurder 8 keer gebel maar geen antwoord, het ook die sekuriteit 8 keer probeer kontak maar die foon was af. My kinders was lelik gebyt op hulle bene toe ek ondersoek instel toe sien ek dat die beddens in hulle kamer vol bedluise is. Die gaste wat langs ons gebly het het by ons kamervensters hulle self ontlaat en teen ons voertuig, ons het nog nooit so iets ervaar nie. Bitter ongelukkig, die bestuurder het my tot nou glad nie gekontak om te hoor wat my probleem was nie. Swak diens.

Was looking for a rest stop on the way from Cape Town.

On arrival there were already residents on the premises who were drunk, noisy and playing very loud music. The other guests stayed all night and played their music until this morning when we were out at 9 o'clock, we as a family got no rest, no sleep, called the manager 8 times but no answer, also tried to contact the security 8 times but the phone was off. My children were badly bitten on their legs when I investigated and saw that the beds in their room were full of bed bugs. The guests who stayed next to us defecated themselves at our bedroom windows and against our vehicle, we have never experienced anything like this. Unfortunately, the manager has not contacted me at all to find out what my problem was. Poor service.

Ek wil net hiermee baie dankie sê aan Newlands Country Lodge. Ons verblyf was regtig so lekker was lekker om na die diere te kyk in die oggende met ‘n koppie koffie voor sonopkoms. Julle plekkie was pragtig skoon en ons het geen problem gehad nie. Baie dankie dat jul kon deel wees van ons wonderlike ervaring, ek sal jul waarlik aanbeveel.

Visit to Kimberley.

We really had a lovey couple of days' stay. It was lovely sitting in the morning and evening watching the birds on the dam and squirrels playing on the grass. The place was peaceful and clean. The owners are very helpful. We had a problem on our last day getting out of Kimberley and they helped immediately to get us out.

The units my staff and I stayed in were clean and neat when we arrived, but very basic.

No contact by Marna whatsoever in the week we stayed at the lodge and was very obvious in her absence. Although the units were clean and neat on arrival, they were not serviced as advertised at all and neither were they swept out. Toilet paper was in very short supply and was not replenished and dustbins were not emptied on a daily basis. Sheets on the bed had cigarette burn holes. Kitchen pots and pans need desperate replacing, they are the cheapest of the cheap and are bent and buckled. Such a pity the units are not maintained daily as it is a lovely site and is quiet and peaceful. Excellent value for your Rands if they can be serviced daily, just a pity there is such a lack of participation/interest by the owners.

Billike verblyf vir die prys wat ons betaal het.

By ons aankoms was daar geen warm water nie maar na 'n telefoonoproep na die eienaar was dit na sowat 'n uur uitgesorteer. Die beddens slaap lekker en die nodige kombuisgereedskap is daar, maar die algehele gevoel wat 'n mens gekry het, is dat die plekke binnekant nie onlangs uitgevee en afgestof is nie. Spinnerakke was in sommige hoeke van die kamers sigbaar. Die grasperke buite was ook lank en het onversorg voorgekom.

Fair accommodation for the price we paid.

On our arrival there was no hot water but after a phone call to the owner it was sorted after about an hour. The beds sleep well and the necessary kitchen utensils are there, but the overall feeling one gets is that the places inside have not been recently swept and dusted. Cobwebs were visible in some corners of the rooms. The lawns outside were also long and appeared unkempt.

Dit was slegs 'n oornagstop op pad Mosselbaai toe.

Ek het gedink die mense wat kla oor die vlieë kla verniet, ek bly op die plaas en ken vlieë, of so het ek gedink. Die is next-level. Behalwe vir die vlieë wat die eenheid aanvaarbaar, alhoewel dit nie juis vir my gelyk het soos op die foto's nie. Die eenhede op die blad is 'n hele ent weg van die een waarin ons gebly het. Jy ry 'n hele ent deur 'n informele nedersetting om by die lodge te kom wat mens nie juis 'n gevoel van veiligheid gee nie. Jy kan die hele tyd die nedersetting se aktiwiteite hoor. Die lugversorging het nie behoorlik gewerk nie.

It was only an overnight stop on the way to Mossel Bay.

I thought the people who complain about the flies are complaining for nothing, I live on the farm and know flies, or so I thought. The is next-level. Except for the flies the unit was acceptable, although it didn't look exactly like the pictures to me. The units on the page are a long way from the one we stayed in. You drive a long way through an informal settlement to get to the lodge, which doesn't exactly give you a sense of security. You can hear the settlement's activities all the time. The air conditioning did not work properly.

Adequate for an overnight stay.

Location is not good. There was a mix up with bedding arrangements - requested 2 bedrooms, one with double bed and one with two single beds. On arrival there were two bedrooms with double bed. It took over an hour to get this rectified. Chalets were a far cry from that displayed on web site. Can't help feeling somewhat disappointed. Although we were looking for cheap accommodation, we have have had substantially better elsewhere for less money.

Die kuier was kort, ons het net een aand oorgeslaap op ons pad na Pretoria.

Die plekkie is klein, maar skep tog die indruk dat dit nuut is. Ons was bietjie teleurgesteld in die feit dat die plekkie deurtrek was met vlieë. As ek kon voorstel, die eienaars moet dalk kyk om die ingang na die perseel te skuif na die onderste hek. Die rede hiervoor is omdat die area waardeur jy ry skep 'n slegte en onveilige gevoel.

The visit was short, we only slept over one night on our way to Pretoria.

The place is small, but still gives the impression that it is new. We were a little disappointed in the fact that the place was full of flies. If I could suggest, the owners might have to look at moving the entrance to the premises to the lower gate. The reason for this is because the area you drive through creates a bad and unsafe feeling.

Proximity to noisy location the only negative point.

Appropriate for a 1-night stay if en route or business in Kimberley, not a relaxing farm stay. The proximity of a large Kimberley informal settlement increases noise levels especially on weekends, especially if you book one of the apartments. The chalets/cottages are a bit further away and may be more peaceful.

We are in the process of opening a road directly from the N12 to the lodge so that you dont have to drive pass the informal settlement. Unfortunately there is a bridge with a height restriction which will restrict suv's with roof racks on but a Fortuner or Land Cruiser can go through with ease.

Mediocre accommodation for very short stay.

Very strange location for a lodge because you have to drive through a township which is hardly recognised by Google Maps and it took us two hours before phoning the owner who kindly directed us to the actual place where we needed to be. The owner and the lady that assisted us did all in their power to make it a pleasurable stay, but all the flies that we had there was unbearable. You could not eat a single meal without 40 flies surrounding your plate at any one time. Also disappointed because the photographs on the web do not paint the updated picture of what you get when you arrive which is not a beautiful dam with water and greenery, but total drought-stricken grey brown and red sand with a great effort to create a grass patch to walk on. It is not very accessible and safely accessible to and from the lodge because you have to drive through township and that in itself is very high risk as we got lost in the township that evening trying to get to our destination. As I have said before by the owner and the lady assisting all efforts were made to make us comfortable and at any time when you needed help they were there to help you, but that does not cover up the fact that it's a very strange very uneasy location for a lodge where a family needs to drive and to what lengths you have to go to actually get there safely. The gentleman that was manning the entrance to the lodge, or should I say, the farm was polite and helpful and one could not fault him in any way whatsoever. My suggestion would be to try and make a safer route to that lodge, but definitely reconsider your visit there because of the influx or infestation of flies everyday. The screens that they had put in the house is still futile against the fight of these little pests that bother you. Should you decide to go through, make sure you are equipped with some sticky fly catchers and lots of Doom fly spray and a electronic bug shock catcher. With all the said, I would like to still thank the owner and the lady that helped us for assisting as best they can to make our stay as pleasurable as possible and I can say the one thing that does not lack is service, the service is very good. Thank you.

Daar is verbetering nodig.

Mens moet deur 'n informele nedersetting reis om daar te kom - gaste behoort vooraf daaroor ingelig te word. Weens 'n Eskom-probleem met 'n transformator was daar geen warm water beskikbaar tydens ons verblyf nie. Daar is ook nie 'n steunplan in plek vir sulke gebeurlikhede nie, bv 'n kragopwekker. Ons was wel voorsien van skotteltjies om in te bad met kookwater vanaf die ketel. Die DStv se kanale was geblok en was TV kyk ook buite die kwessie.

Improvement is needed.

One has to travel through an informal settlement to get there - guests should be informed about this in advance. Due to an Eskom problem with a transformer there was no hot water available during our stay. There is also no backup plan in place for such contingencies, eg a generator. We were provided with dishes to bathe in with boiling water from the kettle. The DStv channels were blocked and watching TV was also out of the question.

So groot seën om in natuur te kan sit en om nog steeds in luuksheid te slaap (baie meer werd as wat ons betaal het).

Dit was so lekker om saam met ons honde te gaan. Ook 'n beeldskone plaas waar hulle net kon rondhardloop. Dit was definitief die moeite werd om van Bloemfontein af te ry vir dié naweek!

Such a blessing to be able to sit in nature and still sleep in luxury (well worth more than we paid).

It was so nice to go with our dogs. Also a beautiful farm where they could just run around. It was definitely worth driving from Bloemfontein for this weekend!

The accommodation on the web page is misleading and not at all what we expected. Just look at the picture of it on this questionnaire.

Newlands Lodge can only be reached by driving through a colored area. The surroundings at the gate create the impression of a place of light industrial activity. Dwelling No. 10 has clearly been extended without any significant internal changes---for example, there is a large window between 2 rooms which is curtained off leading to partial privacy in the rooms, the one toilet has floor to ceiling windows the roof and although it is painted white, it casts shadows when viewed from the dark inside. No dish soap and other means were available to wash dishes. The outside of the barbecue patio was not swept at all. The one shower does not work properly at all and water partially sprays out before it reaches the shower head. The door latch of one of the rooms did not work.

Ons het dit baie geniet.

Die kinders wou graag swem. Ek persoonlik sal 'n swembad voorstel. Dis altyd lekker om bietjie te swem, veral in die hitte van die Noord-Kaap. Verder was dit baie aangenaam. Ons het dit baie geniet.

Dankie Catherine, ek waardeer die terugvoering. Ek hoop 2018 hou net die beste in vir julle. Ons het ongelukkig nie op die oomblik die mannekrag om 'n swembad te onderhou nie, maar ons planne vorentoe is om 'n kanaal te bou van die dam af wat deur die perseel gaan loop. Dit sal 'n geleentheid aanbied om bietjie af te koel daarin. Hopelik val ons planne in plek en sal ons teen volgende somer dit hê. Groete

Die eienares was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam en ons het dit baie waardeer dat sy vir ons etes gereël het en ons nie na 'n lang reis nog plek moes gaan soek om te eet nie. Ek sal Newlands Country Lodge beslis aanbeveel.

Uiters aangename verrassing!

Die pad soontoe kan 'n mens laat dink dat jy op die verkeerde pad is. Die bord buite sê ook net Newlands Plaas. Dis verwarrend. Miskien moet hul net 'n bord opsit of vir mense sê dat die ingang Newlands Farm 2 is. Maar ons sal van nou af altyd daar bly. Dis 'n ongelooflike plek met alles wat jy moontlik aan kan dink en luuks.

Exceptionally pleasant surprise.

The road on the way there makes you believe that you're on the wrong road. The signboard outside also only reads Newlands Farm. It is confusing. Maybe they should put up a sign or tell people that the entrance is Newlands Farm 2. But we will stay there from now on, every time. It is an incredible place with everything you can possibly think of, and it's luxurious.

Baie rustig, weg van stadslawaai.

Ons het heerlik gebly met die perde wat runnik en haan wat jou wakker kraai. Die pad daarheen is ongelukkig nie baie lekker nie - moet deur 'n informele deel van die stad ry. Ook nie die ideale pad indien jy eers na 19:00 die aand daar aankom nie. Die gedeelte DStv en TV word genoem. Ons kon geen kanaal sien/soek nie, slegs 200 (Super Sport Blitz). Alhoewel Hanelie gesê het daar daar 'n ketel in die eenheid is en ook 'n foto van die "kitchenette" (met ketel) gestuur het, was daar nie 'n ketel nie. Ons moes water kook op die 2-plaatstoof of in die mikrogolf. Daar was ook nie 'n asblik in die eenheid nie. Ek het gelukkig 'n swartsak saamgevat en ons gemors daarin gegooi. Die volgende oggend nadat ons eenheid skoongemaak is, was daar net 'n nuwe swartsak in die kombuis. Einde April is die aande reeds koel in Kimberley. Daar was nie ekstra komberse vir die beddens nie. Gelukkig het ek ekstra komberse in die kar gehad. Die verblyf self was lekker. Groot genoeg eenheid en baie netjies en skoon.

So peaceful away from the noisy city.

We had a great time with the horses neighing in the background and waking up with the cock crow. Unfortunately the road leading there isn't great - you to go through an informal part of the city. Also not the ideal road if you only get there after 19:00 at night. Communal DStv and TV mentioned. We were only able to get/see one channel, just 200 (SuperSport Blitz). Hanelie said there would be a kettle in the unit and she even sent us pictures of a kitchenette (with kettle), but there wasn't any kettle. We had to boil water on the small stove or in the microwave. Also no bin in the unit. Luckily we brought a black bag for our trash. The next morning after they cleaned the unit, they just put one new black bag in the kitchen. By the end of April the nights are quite cool in Kimberley. No extra towels for the beds. Luckily we had an extra blanket in the car. Very nice accommodation. Enough space in the unit and it was very clean and neat.

Netjiese, gerieflike akkommodasie. Maar ons verwagtinge was 'n gastehuis op 'n plaas met 'n uitsig soos op die webtuiste. Ongelukkig is ons nie daar geplaas nie. Die pad na die "plaas" laat 'n mens wonder.

Netjiese plek, vriendelike gasvrou maar verkeerde ligging.

Wat 'n skok om deur 'n lokasie te ry en toe nie ver van die woonbuurt af begin die plaas, dis baie netjies met 'n vriendelike gasvrou en die plek is die geld werd, ongelukkig hou ons nie van die ligging nie en was dit 'n skok om deur 'n lokasie te ry om by jou slaapplek uit te kom en dan bly jy nog teen die lokasie, so om en by 300 meter van die huis loop 'n treinspoor en die mense in die woonbuurt naby se musiek is nogal hard, dus nie goed as jy wil sit en ontspan nie, ek sal die plek aanbeveel vir kontrakteurs wat hard gewerk het en dan net wil rus, wat nie op 'n vakansie daar is nie. Ongelukkig beveel ek nie die plek aan vir my vriende en kennisse nie.

Neat place, friendly hostess, but wrong location.

Was a shock driving through the informal settlement and then, not far from the neighbourhood is the farm. It's very neat with a friendly hostess and is worth the money. Unfortunately we didn't like the location and it was a shock driving through the slum to get to our accommodation. The house is 300 m from a train track and the people in the informal settlement's music is quite loud, so it's not a good place to relax. I would recommend it to contractors who've worked hard and just want to rest, but aren't on holiday. Unfortunately I won't recommend it to friends and acquaintances.

Plek is pragtig, maar die dubbelbed is gedaan.

Die slaapplek was heel netjies en jy kan sien dat dit onlangs oorgedoen is. Die enigste probleem wat ons gehad het was dat die dubbelbed gedaan was. Die springs het in jou lyf ingedruk, wat op die ou end gemaak het dat ons net na 01:00 nie meer kon slaap nie en besluit het om op te staan en vroeër te vertrek as wat ons beplan het. Ons kon ook nie die bestuurder in die hande kry om seker te maak oor die korrekte hek om te gebruik nie. Julle moet dalk ook noem dat dit aan die buitewyke van die dorp is en dat mens deur 'n redelike slegte gedeelte van die dorp moet ry om by die bestemming uit te kom. Laat kyk asb. na die matrasse!

This place is beautiful, but the bed is worn out.

The sleeping arrangements were quite neat and you can see the place has been revamped recently. The only problem is that the double bed was worn out. The springs poked and prodded us so that we couldn't sleep past 01:00 and decided to get up and leave earlier than we had planned. We also couldn't reach the manager to ensure we use the correct gate. Maybe mention that the accommodation is on the outskirts of town and that you have to drive through a rough part of town to get there. Please check the mattresses!

'n Baie mooi nuwe plek maar sy ligging is totaal onaanvaarbaar.

Ons is ontvang deur die sekuriteitswag waar ons die vorms moes voltooi. Ons eenheid was glad nie gereed nie alhoewel ons na 14:00 daar was. Die eenheid het so na rook geruik dat ons die eienaar moes skakel. Ons is na 'n ander eenheid verskuif waar ons na 15:00 eers kon intrek. Die eenheid was goed toegerus, maar die eetgerei was vuil. Dit wil voorkom asof die bestuur van die eenhede aan die skoonmakers oorgelaat word. Die plek word geadverteer as Newlands Country Lodge, maar niemand weet van so plek nie. Dit is geleë 10 km buite die dorp en jy moet deurgaans deur informele nedersettings ry. By navraag het niemand die plek geken nie en na telefoonoproepe na die eienaar was die plek se naam Newlands Farm. Die naambord dui aan dat dit private eiendom is en nie 'n Country Lodge is nie. Ons was twee gesinne wat daar geslaap het en die ander ses eenhede was beset deur konstruksiewerkers.

Such a beautiful new place but the location is totally unacceptable.

The reception was by a security guard and we had to complete the froms. The unit was not prepared at all even though we arrived after 14:00. Reeked of smoke so we had to call the owner. We were moved to a different unit and we were able to move in at 15:00. The unit was well equipped, but the cutlery was dirty. Looks as though the manager just leaves the units to the cleaners. They advertise it as Newlands Country Lodge, but no one knows of such a place. It is 10 from the town and you have to contatly drive through informal settlements. When we asked around no one knew about the place and after phone calls to the owner we learned it was called Newlands Farm. The sign post indicates that it is private property, not a Country Lodge. We were two families who stayed there and the remaining 6 units were occupied by construction workers.

Nie aanbeveelbaar.

Die eenhede wat aan ons gegee is, is reg langs langtermyn kontrakteurs wat glad nie aan ander dink nie - hulle het vreeslik geraas die aand en vroeg die volgende oggend weer (om en by 06:00). Hierdie fasiliteit is nie vir mense wat met vakansie 'n bietjie rustigheid soek nie. Die pad na die verblyf is sleg en om deur die informele verblyfarea te ry is nie 'n grap - veral nie aanbeveelbaar wanneer jy laatmiddag daarheen reis. Daar is geen aanwysingsborde om aan te dui waar hulle geleë is nie, en het ons 'n paar keer verby die hek gery. Kon ook nie die eienaar dadelik opspoor telefonies om te help. Die eenhede is koud, en geen verwarmers/aircon is beskikbaar. Die beddegoed is ook maar min. gelukkig het ons ekstra komberse by ons gehad. Die stortgeriewe in beide eenhede kort aandag (was swart aangepak op teëls, en mors vreeslik - badkamer is onder water wanneer jy klaar is). Die TV-kanale wat beskikbaar is, is maar baie basies en nie vir iemand wat dalk voor TV wil ontspan na 'n lang rit. Ketels ook vreeslik aangepak en wonder mens of dit veilig is om dit te gebruik. Foto's op webtuiste is misleidend - sal hul glad nie aanbeveel. Ander verblyf wat ons gebruik het vir goedkoper pryse het meer gebied.

Not recommendable.

The units allocated to us were right next to long term contractors who were not considerate to the other guests and were noisy during the night until the wee hours of the morning (around 6:00). This facility is not for those looking for a peaceful vacation. The road to the accommodation is not for the faint hearted as it leads through an informal settlement, especially not if you're driving in the late afternoon. No signs to indicate their location and we passed their gate a few times. Took a while to teach the owner over the phone to ask for help. The units are cold with no heaters or aircon available. Not much bedding. Luckily we brought extra blankets. The showers in both units need attention. Tiles have old dirt and the whole bathroom is wet when you've finished showering. Only basic TV channels available, not ideal for someone who wants to relax in front of the TV after a long journey. Kettles also crusted with old dirt, so wasn't sure if they were safe to use. The photos online are misleading. Wouldn't recommend them at all. Other accommodation we used at cheaper rates offered more.

Netjiese nuwe plek, maar nie op standaard nie.

Ons was 4 volwassenes. Daar was net 3 handdoeke, maar geen stortmatte nie. Die bestuurderes het opgedaag. Ons het vir haar gesê dat die sleutel vir die veiligheidshek gebreek was, en dus nie die hek kan sluit nie (dit was nie gesluit gewees toe ons daar gekom het nie). Die braaisif en braaiplek was vol duiwemis en nie bruikbaar nie. Sy het net "jammer" gesê maar niks gedoen nie en gery. Daar is geen bedlampe nie, geen asblikke in die slaapkamers/badkamers nie. Daar is nie voldoende kookgerei en eetgerei vir 4 mense nie, en net een double sofa vir 4 persone.

Neat new place but not up to standard.

We were 4 adults. There were only 3 towels, but no shower mats. The drivers arrived. We told her that the key for the security gate was broken, and therefore could not lock the gate (it had not been locked when we got there). The braai strainer and braai area were full of pigeon droppings and unusable. She just said "sorry" but did nothing and drove off. There are no bedside lamps, no bins in the bedrooms/bathrooms. There are not enough cooking utensils and cutlery for 4 people, and only one double sofa for 4 people.

Ons was teleurgesteld.

Die beddegoed was onvoldoende en nie skoon nie. Een kussingsloop was geskeur. Daar was geen kragproppe vir die bedliggies nie. Vergeleke met ander verblyfplekke in dieselfde prysklas was dit nie op standaard nie en ons sal nie weer hier bespreek of aanbeveel nie. Foto's op webtuise is misleidend.

We were disappointed.

The bedding weren't clean and insufficient. One pillow case was torn. There were no plugs for the bed lamps. In comparison to other accommodation in the same price range, it wasn't up to standard and we won't book here again or recommend it. The photos are misleading.

Baie vlieë en ongemaklike matras.

Daar was ten minste oor die 100 vlieë binne in die unit. Ons moes gaan gif koop. Die dubbelbedmatras van unit 1 was so ongemaklik ons kon nie daarop slaap nie. Mens wonder soms of die eienaar self al daar gaan lê het. Dit is aan die verste kant van alle winkels en jy ry letterlik deur die informele settlement om daar uit te kom.

So many flies and the mattress was uncomfortable.

At least 100 flies shared the unit with us. We had to buy poison. The double mattress in Unit 1 was uncomfortable we couldn't sleep on it. We had to wonder if the owner ever even tried it? Furthest away from the shops and you drive through an informal settlement to get there.

Teleurstellend.

Nie wat voorgehou word op advertensie nie. Ligging nie goed nie. Verblyf tussen store en werkersverblyf. Eenhede nie op standaard vir die prys nie. Geen waaier of lugreeling in eenheid 15 gewees nie. Moes gaan melk koop in die lokasie om te kan koffie drink. Geen stoele om op stoep te sit nie. Perdemis reg rondom die eenhede op die gras. Na 'n lang reis is dit nie hoe mens wil rus nie. Kussings so dun soos 'n halwe telefoonboek. Eenheid was skoon gewees maar nie weer vir ons nie.

Disappointing.

Not what is advertised. Location not good. Accommodation between stores and worker accommodation. Units not up to standard for the price. No fan or air vent in unit 15. Had to go and buy milk in the location to be able to drink coffee. No chairs to sit on porch. Horse manure all around the units on the grass. After a long journey, this is not how one wants to rest. Pillows as thin as half a phone book. Unit had been clean but not again for us.

Baie onaangename ondervinding.

Eerstens sou ons nie met die bespreking voortgegaan het as ons vooraf ingelig is dat ons deur 'n informele woonbuurt moes reis om by die Lodge uit te kom. Met ons aankoms was die sleutel tot ons eenheid soek na 'n oproep na die bestuurder - sy bly nie op die perseel nie - sodat sy met die wag kom praat het na ons 20 minute gewag voordat die sleutel gevind is. Die rede - die dame wat die eenheid skoonmaak het vergeet om die sleutel by die hek in te handig. Die eerste indrukke van die wooneenhede was 'n bietjie van 'n skok - voor een wooneenheid was die helfte van die stoep volgepak met leë bierbottels. Die eerste indruk van ons eenheid was dat dit ‘moeg’ was. Die potte en panne en eetgerei was in 'n haglike toestand en ons het ons eie gerei gebruik. Daar is 'n wag by die hek maar die eenhede is nie beveilig met 'n sekuriteitsheining nie - gegewe die omgewing was ons nie heeltemal op ons gemak nie. Ons reis baie en het geen probleem om vir goeie standaard verblyf 'n premie te betaal nie. Die Lodge sal ons beslis nie weer sien nie.

Very unpleasant experience.

Firstly, we would not have proceeded with the booking if we had been informed in advance that we had to travel through an informal neighborhood to get to the Lodge. Upon our arrival the key to our unit was looking for a call to the manager - she does not live on site - so she came to speak to the guard after we waited 20 minutes before finding the key. The reason - the lady cleaning the unit forgot to hand in the key at the gate. The first impressions of the housing units were a bit of a shock - in front of one housing unit, half the porch was packed with empty beer bottles. The first impression of our unit was that it was 'tired'. The pots and pans and cutlery were in terrible condition and we used our own utensils. There is a guard at the gate but the units are not secured with a security fence - given the surroundings we were not entirely at ease. We travel a lot and have no problem paying a premium for good standard accommodation. The Lodge will definitely not see us again.

Hello Lawrence en baie dankie vir die terugvoer.

Ek vra weereens omversoning vir die sleutel wat nie by die hek was op julle aankoms nie, sowel as die bierbottels op een van die ander gaste se stoep.

Ek wil darem net daarop wys dat ek wel in 'n e-pos op 07.12.17 wel aan julle genoem het van die pad na die lodge toe:

"Ons is op 'n kleinhoewe gelee en die enigste pad na ons toe gaan verby 'n informele area wat nie altyd so skoon is nie. Ek wil almal asb verseker dat die pad en area baie veilig is, en dat die lodge baie netjies en veilig is. Ons het 24 uur sekuriteit op die perseel, en al ons eenhede het veiligheidshekke as ekstra versekering. Moet asb nie dat die pad julle afskrik nie, dis veilig!"

Baie dankie vir die terugvoer, ek het dit opgeneem met die personeel.

Vriendelike Groete,
Hanelie

Vuil

Die omgewing is alles behalwe veilig. Ry deur baie vuil area om daar uit te kom. Op die oog af lyk alles baie mooi, maar die binnekant van die eenhede is vuil. Vol dooie vlieë. Mikrogolf smerig. Stortkop spuit bo-oor stortdeur met die gevolg die hele badkamer is nat. Sateliet-TV nie geaktiveer nie. Stoep vuil, kan nie daar braai nie. Eetgerei onvoldoende vir 4 gaste soos wat ons bespreek het. 1 sou moes eet en wag vir messegoed sodra die een klaar is.

Dirty.

The environment is anything but safe. Drive through very dirty area to get there. From a distance everything looks very beautiful, but the inside of the units are dirty. Full of dead flies. Microwave filthy. Shower head sprays over the shower door with the result that the whole bathroom is wet. Satellite TV not enabled. Patio dirty, can't braai there. Cutlery not enough for 4 guests as we discussed. 1 would have to eat and wait for cutlery once until someone else is done.

Young, our stay there was a nightmare.

After being on the road for 7 hours, the place stank so much that we couldn't breathe. I reported this to the reception. They claim it was the mop that was rotten and the cleaning lady didn't seem to notice. It's winter and we had to sleep with the windows and door open just to get fresh air. My son has asthma and was coughing all night. I also couldn't cook because the pot was full of holes. The next morning the lady brought a new mop and took the pot that was broken. We couldn't drive the next day because we couldn't sleep. It cost me even more money to book at another place just to rest up to be able to ride again. That place will not see me again.

Mooi plek met baie potensiaal.

Al die basiese benodighede was daar en ons kan sien dat daar probeer moeite gedoen is met die nuwe chalets. Dit was net baie warm en met net een waaier in die eenheid was die hitte te veel. Lugversorgers of ten minste 'n waaier vir elke vertrek sal aanbeveel word. Die perde het my kinders se hart gesteel en dit was 'n oulike bonus.

Beautiful place with loads of potential.

All of the basics were there and we could see that an effort was made with the new chalets. It was just very hot and with only one fan in the unit, it got a bit much. Aircons or at least a working fan for every rooms is recommended. The horses stole my kids' hearts and it was a sweet bonus.

Ons het dit baie geniet.

Dit is 'n baie lekker plek. Ek weet dat dit nuwe plekke is en dat hulle nog besig is om die plekke in te rig, daar was net 'n tekort aan komberse. Dit is nou winter en baie koud langs die dam, daar is net 1 duvet op elke bed, daar is geen ekstra komberse nie. Verder moet hulle ook kyk na hulle kombuisware wat hulle voorsien, daar is nie genoeg potte en panne nie, daar is ook glad nie casserole bakke vir braaivleis nie, daar is ook geen slaaibakke nie. Al wat hulle moet opskerp is hulle kombuisware en dan ekstra komberse, in die chalet waar ons ingeboek was, was daar net 2 stoele in die sitkamer, geen stoele binne waar jy by die kombuistafel kon sit en eet nie. Daar is net 2 stoele maar die chalet cater vir 4 persone, dit is nou winter en dit is baie keer te koud om buite te sit. Verder is dit 'n lieflike plekkie en waarde vir geld.

We enjoyed it a lot.

It is a very nice place. I know that it's relatively new places and that they are still busy equipping it, but there was a shortage of blankets. It is winter now and very cold next to the dam and there is only 1 duvet on each bed but no blankets. They also have to take a look at the kitchen equipment, there wasn't enough pots or pans and no casserole dishes for braai meat, there are also no salad bowls. The only things they have to pay attention to is the kitchenware and extra blankets. The chalet we were in only had 2 chairs in the sitting room, no chairs at the kitchen table so that you could sit and eat. There were also only 2 chairs, but the chalet caters for 4 people. It is winter now and too cold to sit outside. Other than that it was lovely and value for money.

Not good value for money at all.

The place was not easy to find. It was dark no lights at all. They forgot that we had our daughter with us so she had to share a bed. Very sparsely furnished. Only 2 chairs to sit on for a unit that sleeps 4. Shower was not cleaned, kettle had lime scale on it. Could advise that there is no TV, when travelling with kids this does make a huge difference. Would not recommend it.

Pateties.

Ek het alreeds 'n e-pos oor ons nare ondervinding geskryf. Nadat ons 'n kwotasie ontvang het van R900 vir die 2 eenhede en ons die deposito van R450 oorbetaal het soos versoek word, is ek 2 dae later gekontak deur Hanelie om my mee te deel sy het 'n fout gemaak. Maar dat sy dit so sal hou. Uit ordentlikheid bied ek aan om die verskil te betaal en sy sê dis R250. Ek sê aan haar, "so dis R125 per chalet" en sy sê ja. Ek reël met my boetie en hy sê dis reg. Met hulle aankoms daar deel sy hulle mee dat hulle net R200 moet betaal. Hy betaal dit sonder om 'n kwitansie te ontvang en vra haar of sy doodseker is, want hy is seker daar is meer uitstaande en sy verseker hulle dis als. Sy loop na haar voertuig en kom terug en sê dat sy wel 'n fout gemaak het en dat hulle nog R650 skuld. Hy betaal dit aan haar en ontvang weer nie 'n kwitansie nie. Met ons aankoms daar deel hy mee wat hy betaal het en ek sê "daar is 'n fout". Ek skakel haar en sy sê hy het net R650 betaal. Ons gaan als na en tel sy geld in sy beursie en sy strokies op en sien dat hy wel R850 betaal het. Ons skakel haar weer en sy sê nog steeds, "nee, dit was net R650". Ek los dit daar. Ons eenhede was 'n gemors. Ons yskas was vuil. Dit was net vlieë. Geen handdoeke nie. Die borde is ge-"chip". Die beddegoed stink en daar was geen warm water in eenheid 7 die Sondagoggend nie. Ons het wel die stortkop in eenheid 7 afgehaal omrede ons 2 2-jariges het wat nie kan stort nie en het hulle probeer was en net vergeet om dit terug te sit. Die lugversorger is iets uit 'n ander era. Het hom nie eers aangeskakel nie, want niemand weet hoe werk die ding nie en was te bang vir dit. Nadat ons 'n klagte aangegee het, antwoord sy terug dat ons die ligte aan gelos het en die een sleutel saamgevat het, wat ons vergeet het om in te handig. Ons het haar gevra vir 'n adres om dit met die vinnige pos te stuur met geen reaksie nie. Sy het dit ook laat blyk asof als nou ons skuld is en dis die rede dat ons geen deposito terug ontvang nie. So, dit was glad nie 'n goeie ondervinding vir ons nie. Jammer.

Pathetic.

I have already written an email about our nasty experience. After we received a quote of R900 for the 2 units and we repaid the deposit of R450 as requested, I was contacted 2 days later by Hanelie to tell me she had made a mistake. But that she will keep it that way. Out of decency I offer to pay the difference and she says it's R250. I say to her, "so it's R125 per chalet" and she says yes. I arrange with my little brother and he says it's ok. When they arrive there, she informs them that they only have to pay R200. He pays it without receiving a receipt and asks her if she's dead sure, because he's sure there's more outstanding and she assures them that's all. She walks to her vehicle and comes back and says that she did make a mistake and that they still owe R650. He pays it to her and again does not receive a receipt. When we get there he shares what he paid and I say "there's a mistake". I call her and she says he only paid R650. We check everything and pick up his money in his wallet and his slips and see that he did pay R850. We call her again and she still says, "no, it was only R650". I leave it there. Our units were a mess. Our fridge was dirty. It was just flies. No towels. The boards are "chipped". The bedding stinks and there was no hot water in unit 7 on Sunday morning. We did take the shower head off in unit 7 because we have 2 2 year olds who can't shower and tried to wash them and just forgot to put it back. The air conditioner is something from another era. Didn't even turn it on because no one knows how the thing works and was too scared of it. After we filed a complaint, she replied that we left the lights on and took the one key, which we forgot to hand in. We asked her for an address to send it by express mail with no response. She also made it appear as if everything is our fault and that's the reason we don't receive any deposit back. So, it was not a good experience for us at all. Sorry.

Ek is jammer dat u so voel. Ek het u ook reeds geantwoord met n epos. Ek het net R650.00 ontvang en nie R850.00 nie, soos ek vir u en mnr Van Vuuren verskeie kere op die aand en ook op my eposse en boodskappe verduidelik het. Ek het ook fotos aangestuur van hoe u die eenhede gelos het, met elke liewe lig wat brand, en die lugverkoeler wat aan gelos was, handdoeke op die vloer, en die emmer en mop op die sitkamervloer.Ek moes 20 eenhede krag vervang waar ons eenhede gemiddeld 4 eenhede krag n aand gebruik. Ek kon ook nie wag vir die sleutel nie, ek het gaste gehad die Maandagaand wat n sleutel moes he. Daarom het ek op my eie onkoste n ander sleutel laat maak. U hoef geen onkoste aan te gaan om die sleutel te pos nie, dis onnodig. Ek hoop dat dit dan nou hierdie aangeleentheid afsluit en dat u vorentoe akkommodasie sal kry wat u verkies.
