Well satisfied with our stay at the Old Mill Lodge and surrounding area.

The accommodation was well up to standard and the owner very helpful with both local knowledge of the area and the best places to go for the locations of the wild flower season, which was the reason for our trip.

Basic, safe and clean.

The accommodation is basic and clean and the rooms are spacious, though lacking in character. Very sparse and no atmosphere. Lights don't even have shades on; they only left enough coffee for one serving each (so if you arrive in the afternoon, there was none for the morning). Safe off-street parking, and staff are friendly. Breakfast is extra and no longer included in the basic rate.

Voldoende, maar sal nie terugkeer nie.

Alhoewel alles skoon, netjies en die gasheer vriendelik was en die ekstra myl vir ons gegaan het, verkies ek 'n blyplek met 'n bietjie meer versorgde meubels en kamer toebehore. Die kamers word skoongemaak met iets wat baie skerp ruik en dit was onplesierig. Ongelukkig was die eetsaal toe op Sondae. Ek glo daar is "warmer" en beter toegeruste en meer moderne blyplekke.

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

Adequate but will not return.

Although everything was clean, tidy and the host was friendly and went the extra mile for us, I prefer a place to stay with a little more well-kept furniture and room accessories. The rooms are cleaned with something that smells very pungent and it was unpleasant. Unfortunately the dining hall was closed on Sundays. I believe there are "warmer" and better equipped and more modern places to stay.

Oornag in Springbok.

Ons het gesukkel op die plek te kry, die uiteindelike straatnommer is nie dieselfde as wat verskyn nie. Die dame wat ons ontvang het (bestuurder was net op daardie oomblik uit) het nie mooi geweet om ons vrae oor ontbyt te antwoord nie. Die kamer was klein, maar gerieflik genoeg, die bad was heerlik. Dit was wel steurend dat die badkamerdeur nie dig kon toemaak nie, en dit was moeilik om die ketel met water te vul (by die bad?). Veilige parkering was 'n bonus.

Overnight in Springbok.

We had trouble finding the place, the final street number is not the same as it appears. The lady who received us (driver was out at that moment) didn't quite know how to answer our questions about breakfast. The room was small, but comfortable enough, the bath was lovely. It was disturbing that the bathroom door could not close tightly, and it was difficult to fill the kettle with water (at the bath?). Secure parking was a bonus.

Tina was baie behulpsaam en vriendelik. Sy het ons ook baie welkom laat voel en 'n heerlike eetplek aanbeveel vir aandete. Al het ons slegs een aand oorgeslaap sal ek Old Mill Lodge enige tyd aanbeveel. Ek sal definitief weer by Old Mill Lodge gaan bly maar hierdie keer vir 'n langer tydperk. Die kamer en badkamer was gerieflik en baie netjies. Ons het ons kort tydjie daar baie geniet.

Gerieflik en veilig.

Ons het goed gebly by Old Mill Lodge. Die eienares was vriendelik en behulpsaam, die ontbyt was baie aangenaam en die kamer was gerieflik. Hulle is blykbaar nou besig om bietjie te vernuwe en op te knap, ongelukkig was hulle nog nie by ons kamer nie. Maar alles was skoon, en dit was 'n lekker holte vir die voet. Wat baie goed is, is dat die perseel 'n batterystelsel het, sodat 'n mens darem lig het tydens beurtkrag.

Convenient and safe.

We had a great stay at Old Mill Lodge. The landlady was friendly and helpful, the breakfast was very pleasant and the room was comfortable. They seem to be renovating and renovating a bit now, unfortunately they haven't been to our room yet. But everything was clean, and it was a nice cavity for the foot. What is very good is that the site has a battery system, so that at least one has light during load shedding.

Algehele indruk.

Ons het goed uitgerus vir die pad voorentoe. Dit was 'n Donderdag aand net voor 'n vakansiedag en baie stil by die plek. Die algehele opset was baie goed wat betref die perseel en kamer. Veilige ruim parkering is beskikbaar. Alles in goeie toestand en skoon. Ons is vooraf gewaarsku dat omdat die volgende dag 'n vakansie is, dat daar nie personeel gaan wees nie. Maar daar was niks gesê van geen ontbyt nie. Daar was 'n klomp klein goedjies wat ontbreek het. Twee-pen kragproppe. Geen gewone "Engelse" tee.

Overall impression.

We were well rested for the road ahead. It was a Thursday night just before a holiday and very quiet at the place. The overall setup was very good in terms of the premises and room. Secure ample parking is available. Everything in good condition and clean. We were warned in advance that because the next day was a holiday, that there would be no staff. But there was no mention of no breakfast. There were a lot of little things missing. Two-pin power plugs. No ordinary "English" tea.

Goeie oornagakkommodasie.

Ons is goed ontvang en die kamer was skoon en netjies. Dis nie 'n selfsorgeenheid nie, daar is net geriewe om koffie of tee te maak. Dit sou ons baie gehelp het as daar 'n inligtingstuk was met inligting oor eetplekke in die dorp (en die tye wanneer dit oop is), dit sou die soektog na kos makliker gemaak het. 'n Bietjie skottelgoedseep en 'n vadoek om koppies na gebruik te kan was en afdroog sal ook help, mens drink tog meer as een keer tee of koffie.

Good overnight accommodation.

We were well received and the room was clean and tidy. It's not a self-catering unit, there are only facilities to make coffee or tea. It would have helped us a lot if there was an information sheet with information about places to eat in town (and the times when they are open), it would have made the search for food easier. A little dish soap and a dishtowel to be able to wash and dry cups after use will also help, after all, you drink tea or coffee more than once.

Teleurstelling.

Die kamer was beslis nie die een wat ek bespreek het nie. Die stortkop is so groot soos 'n ou eenrandstuk met geen gordyn of deur by die stort nie. Teëls is stukkend in die badkamer en bed kliphard. Ons kon nie ontbyt bespreek nie want dit was Sondagoggend. Nuwe eienaar en sy sal moet hard werk om alles in plek te kry. Ons het wel gratis ontbyt gekry (Maandagoggend) nadat ek gekla het oor die verblyf.

The room was definitely not the one I booked. The shower head is the size of an old one-sided piece with no curtain or door to the shower. Tiles are broken in the bathroom and bed rock hard. We could not book breakfast because it was Sunday morning. New owner and she will have to work hard to get everything in place. We did get free breakfast (Monday morning) after I complained about the accommodation.

Teleurstellend, nie op standaard nie.

Ou kos in yskas, vuil kussingslope, erge muf in stort, geen kombuisware in kas nie, geen stoele, net 'n tafel, vuil ketel, geen asdrom in kombuis nie, toilet spoel nie reg nie, ou gebruikte (disposable) stortkappie in badkamer onder handdoeke (hoop maar handdoeke was skoon). Aircon raas so ons moes hom afsit deur die nag om te kon slaap. Darem gratis ontbyt gekry om om op te maak vir dit. Sal definitief nie aanbeveel nie.
