Lekker wegbreek.

Paradise Village is 'n heerlike plekkie om te rus langs die Magaliesrivier. Lekkerder as kampeer, alles gehad wat ons nodig het. Warm bed en warm water. Swembad om af te koel en asemrowende natuurskoon. Nonnie en haar oulike hondjie was baie vriendelik en het ons onmiddellik tuis laat voel. Dankie vir die kuier, ons sien julle weer!

Nice break away.

Paradise Village is a lovely place to rest along the Magalies River. Better than camping, had everything we needed. Warm bed and hot water. Pool to cool off and breathtaking scenery. Nonnie and her cute dog were very friendly and immediately made us feel at home. Thanks for visiting, we'll see you again!

Accommodation a bit overcharged.

We arrived late at night and only needed a place to sleep for the night, so, we cannot judge the entire place, but only the room we stayed in. The room felt as if there is no or very little maintenance going into the room. The shower was dusty and looked like it was not cleaned for several days. There was no curtain in front of the bathroom and we had to hang something there so people cannot look in from the outside. The shower water was nice and warm and everthing was working. Sections of the reeds inside the room on the ceiling of the roof is hanging loose and gives a feeling of decay and poor maintenance. The room door could not lock from the inside, nothing happened so, we cannot really complain about that, it just felt unsafe. The mattress in the unit we stayed in is way past the point it should be replaced. The mattress was not comfortable at all. The owner is very friendly and assisted us very well when we arrived. We do feel the price we paid is a bit over priced. This is a gem of a place and with a little bit of maintenance and attention, could be a diamond of a place.

Accommodation needs attention.

Next to an informal settlement with no gate. Doors could not lock from the inside. If you used the shower the water ran into the room. A kettle in the room would be a big plus. Disappointed what they offer you for the price. Is ideal for a motorcycle group or a bunch of men.

Overnight only one night.

We did not use the facilities as we only stayed one night. Calm atmosphere. However, was concerned about the motorbikes that had to stand outside in the rain without protection. Owners were very friendly. Resort needs renovation, but that's understandable due to the 2-year-long Covid restrictions.

No power, no water, found rat droppings in the bed.

Unfortunately, we were asked to bring our own glasses. When we arrived some of the rooms had no electricity and this was an ongoing problem throughout the weekend. The dstv did not accommodate sport. We had to go out to watch the rugby on Saturday. One of the friends found rat droppings in his bed. There were issues with the water, we had 2 showers between 20 people. Some of the rooms' doors did not close and we had the owner's dogs coming in, one of the rooms the door fell off its hinges.

Baie vriendelik ontvang.

Plek lyk mooi en oulik, maar ons is teleurgesteld in die volgende: Die kamer het baie klein spinnekoppe en neste gehad. Spinnekoppies binne in die bed wat sonder lakens was en die deken wat op was was vuil. Glad nie aanvaarbaar nie. Die mense langsaan in sinkhuise het tot baie laat geraas. Ek sal niemand aanraai om daar te oornag nie, Paradise Village trek webtuiste se naam deur die modder. Hulle moet die plek van hul databasis afhaal, dis verwaarloos en swak. Matte en bedbasis vuil. Nie ordenklike stortgordyn nie. Water van stort het opgeraak. Nie hangplek vir jou klere en handdoeke nie. Kort vir seker aandag.

Very friendly welcome.

Place looks nice and cute, but we are disappointed in the following: The room had many small spiders and nests. Spiders inside the bed that had no sheets and the blanket that was on was dirty. Not acceptable at all. The people next door in tin houses made noise until very late. I would not advise anyone to spend the night there, Paradise Village drags the website's name through the mud. They should take the place off their database, it's neglected and weak. Carpets and bed base dirty. Not decent shower curtain. Water from shower ran out. No hanging space for your clothes and towels. Short on attention for sure.

Ons was 'n groep van 20 rowwe manne wat tot sonsopkoms gekuier het. Owen het alles verskaf wat ons nodig gehad het vir vermaak. Nonnie, ons sien julle vir seker weer.

Vrydagaand was nat en koud - toe sien ek die elektriese kombers op my bed. Wow! Die beddegoed is van die hoogste gehalte en baie skoon. Ons kon na ons gunsteling-liedjies luister sonder om bekommerd te wees oor die bure. Hierdie is regtig 'n paradys waar jy kan lekker slaap. Awe.

As jy spinnekoppe vrees, bly weg. Toilet lek as jy dit trek. Kraan loop heeldag. Vloer in badkamer besig om in te gee van al die water wat lek van die stort af. Muis in badkamer. Matte kort 'n was. Plek is netjies, maar kort baie aandag.

Rustige verblyf.

Lieflike rustige verblyf tussen bome en naby rivier. Bamboos hutte skep Oosterse gevoel maar kan binne opgradeer word. Matte in toilette werk nie so lekker nie. Owen het regtig hard probeer om enige probleem wat ons gehad het uit te sorteer. Een persoon om als te behartig is te min. Eienaar se honde in ons hutte en oral tussen ons was vir ons soms 'n probleem. Gelukkig het Nonnie, die eienaar hul toegemaak toe sy sien dit pla ons.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Peaceful stay.

Lovely peaceful accommodation between trees and near the river. Bamboos huts create an oriental feel but can be upgraded inside. Carpets in toilets do not work so well. Owen tried really hard to sort out any problem we had. One person to handle everything is too few. Owner's dogs in our cabins and everywhere between us were sometimes a problem for us. Fortunately, Nonnie, the owner closed them when she saw that it was bothering us.

Rested so well in this beautiful place.

Thank you so much, Noni, for the wonderful peaceful weekend. This rustic place with bamboo houses was the best place we could of chosen for the weekend breakaway. We were made to feel welcome. Meschak was available at all times if we were in need of his assistance. We were able to view the different bird species while sitting near the river running along the banks of Paradise Village. It was amazing to see fire flies down on the river bank, brought back some fond childhood memories.

Disorganised, unprofessional, not friendly.

We booked and confirmed for 28 people. I personally visited them to confirm room allocations. Followed up with an email with an attachment for the room allocations in February and phoned 4 days before our arrival. I was told all along not to worry, that everything was booked and ready. Upon arrival however Nonnie told me that she only had accommodation for 14 people. Several of these families had travelled very far for a wedding. Nonnie was not warm and was unapologetic and indifferent. They claim to be self-catering with all utensils and kitchen requirements. We were told we only need to bring our own towels. Nothing was provided as advertised. Very poor service and accommodation.

We had a great stay, quiet, beautiful surroundings and peaceful.

I did not meet Nonnie personally as we were attending a wedding and I helped out there but she was so helpful and welcoming the guys and making their stay more pleasant. When we got to the chalets really late, the lights were left on for us and we had an electric blanket. The showers were nice and hot. Rooms were very clean and I can personally say I smelled the washing powder on the duvet, so they were definitely clean. I would definitely visit again, it is a great way to break away from technology although there is a TV, the area was a lot more beautiful to look at. We loved the dogs and they are super friendly and such cuties. Thank you for a great stay.

Baie netjiese kamer en die eienaars is baie gasvry. Vriendelike Afrikaanse wegbreek.

Dis geleë buite die besige Hartebeespoort naglewe en is lekker rustig maar nie te ver om gou 'n winkel te gaan besoek nie.

Very neat room and the owners are very hospitable. Friendly Afrikaans getaway.

Its located outside of the busy Hartbeespoort night life and is nice and relaxing, but not too far from visiting a shop quickly.

Unpleasant.

Not good value for money. Cute "setup". Units not good standard. Bed is uncomfortable and broken, falls to waist. Carpet in room is long-haired and was wet and it stinks. Dogs on yard come in in unity and there was one behind the sofa that we didn't know about, only at night he decided to come out. Fleas in unity. Unit unpleasant, stuffy smell.

Aangename ontvangs. Lekker gebly, maar die geld wat jy betaal is dit nie werd nie.

Oulike idee en lekker bosgevoel. Maar vir wat jy betaal het ek meer verwag. Eienaars baie gaaf en behulpsaam.

Pleasant reception. Nice stay, but the money you pay is not worth it.

Cute idea and nice forest feeling. But for what you pay I expected more. Owners very nice and helpful.

Baie dankie vir die terugvoer. Ons is in die omgewing die goedkoopste en kompeterend met kamptariewe. Jammer as julle meer verwag het. Ons het ons bes probeer om dit so gemaklik moontlik te maak en selfs die gaste ingeboek in die enigste chalet met eie yskas en ook nie omgegee dat hulle gaste 'n aand by hulle deurgebring het nie.
Groete,
Nonnie

Amateuragtig, verwaarloos, onnet.

Geen handdoek, geskeurde beddegoed, reg langs 'n besige pad en sinkhuise vir raserige werkers, skuifdeur wat moeilik beweeg,vensterknippe van bloudraad, geen water in die middel van die nag nie.

Amateur, neglected, untidy.

No towel, torn bedding, right next to a busy road and corrugated iron houses for noisy workers, sliding door that is hard to move, blue wire window shutters, no water in the middle of the night.

Bad service, filthy, unwelcoming rooms filled with mosquitoes, filthy bathrooms, filthy linen, uncomfortable beds, no television set, no cupboards, the place is scary and unsafe.

This place is a disaster. My friend and I booked one night because we had a race to run the next morning. We arrived at around 20:00 at night and to our surprise, the place was definitely not what we expected. Reception looks unwelcoming, when we arrive in the room, the light was on, the door was wide open, it was filled with mosquitoes, the carperts were as if the animals has been sleeping in the room, filled with animal fur, unpleasant smell, dust and spider webs all over. We asked for the doom to spray away the mosquitoes, the owner sent her helper with a bottle of water mixed with pine gel. The beds were so uncomfortable, the linen was so dirty we had to use our own towels as sheets. There were no cupboards to hang our clothes, no television set, the toilet and showers were outside the room, so during the night we were afraid to access the toilet until the morning. The place is so scary and unsafe for female guests. Some of the window pains in our room were broken, during the night we were getting cold, no heater/fan, nothing. There is no gate, safety of guests' cars is highly compromised. We had to sleep there only because it was already late and we had an early morning for the race, but seriously, we don't think some people would have slept there.

Paradise Village 's response

Good Morning,

Kindly go back to the original booking. I firstly want to apologise that the place is so disgusting that I didn't recognise it as my place.
The booking was for 2 x 2 sleepers. A deposit of R700 was paid to TravelGround. I was then contacted by the guest with a request that they will now only be 3 and they are singles. I then had to change the booking to single beds (the only single beds is where they slept). They arrived 20.30 pm. and said one of the friends dropped them. In other words. A booking for 4 pax was then 2. I waited up for them and personally welcomed them. I paid one of my workers extra to help them carry their stuff. The lights were on and the doors were open because it was dark and late.
The linen? I do all the linen myself. I put out coffee, etc. for them. They had their own fridge and gas stove with crockery and cutlery, whereas the other guests shared a kitchen. I am here 18 years and am so fortunate to say that it is safe. As for mosquitoes. We are in the bush and I am trying to avoid poisonous insect repellents.

My apologies for all the inconvenience.
Regards
Nonnie.

Het daarteen besluit om daar oor te bly.

Ek en my man het die vorige naweek Paradise Village besoek en soos telefonies aan Abigail meegedeel, was ons uiters teleurgesteld. Die plek het nie 'n ordentlike ingang nie, dit is onveilig, dit is vuil, die swembad is groen en die Jacuzzi werk nie meer nie. Daar is geen ontvangs nie en is meegedeel deur 'n jong man dat die "manager" nie daar is nie en dat ons haar later kan bel. Ons het maar besluit om ons R480,00 deposito eerder te verloor as om in so plek te oornag. Na my mening behoort hierdie plek nie goedgekeur te word nie.

Decided against staying there.

My husband and I visitd Paradise Village the preceding weekend and, as explained telephonically to Abigail, we were utterly disappointed. No proper entrance, unsafe, dirty, green pool and the Jacuzzi is out of order. No reception just a young man who told us the "manager" was not there and we could call her later. So we decided to forfeit our R480 deposit rather than staying there. This place should not be approved in my opinion.

Goeie More
Eerstens is ek werklik jammer dat ek nie hier was nie. Jy is heeltemal reg hier is nie 'n formele ontvangs nie omdat dit vir my lekker is om gaste persoonlik te ontvang en welkom te heet. Ek is naweke hier vir die gaste, maar gedurende die week is ek nie altyd hier nie, maar sal natuurlik alle afsprake nakom.
Ek is dankbaar om te se dat ek amper 20 jaar hier is en nog altyd veilig was.
Baie jammer dat julle teleurgesteld was.
Groete
Nonnie

Koud, donker met geen opsies van verversings of kos nie - lekker vir bikers wat net braai.

Geen krag toe ons die rugby-toets teen Ierland wou kyk nie. Gasvrou baie vriendelik en gasvry. Nie veel om te doen in die winter of as die krag uit is nie - geen "back-up generator".

Cold, dark with no options of refreshments or food - nice for bikers who just barbecue.

No power when we wanted to watch the rugby test against Ireland. Hostess very friendly and hospitable. Not much to do in winter or when the power is out - no "back-up generator".

Mooi, maar nie heeltemal wat ek gesoek het!

Die eienaar is ongelooflik vriendelik en behulpsaam, so 10 uit 10 vir haar! Maar as jy 'n luukse plek soek, is dit nie die plek nie. Dis baie pragtig en ek dink daar is baie potensiaal, maar dit laat my aan kamp dink. Ek dink die prys is bietjie hoog vir wat jy kry. Oulike opset, maar die bed was oud en baie hard. Die beddegoed lyk ook nie meer mooi nie, en daar was nie warm water nie, maar ek het verneem die probleem is opgelos na ons weg is. Maar soos ek sê, die eienaar gaan uit haar pad om te help so dankie daarvoor.

Nice, but not quite what I was looking for!

The owner is incredibly friendly and helpful, so 10 out of 10 for her! But if you are looking for a luxury place, this is not the place. It's very beautiful and I think there is a lot of potential, but it reminds me of camping. I think the price is a bit high for what you get. Cute setup, but the bed was old and very hard. The bedding doesn't look nice anymore, and there was no hot water, but I learned that the problem was solved after we left. But as I say, the owner goes out of her way to help so thanks for that.

So-so.

I liked the view, but there was no hot water in our bedroom. We had to bath in another room and toilet was dirty when we arrived there, but after telling them they sent someone to clean it. Other than that it was okay .

Paradise Village 's response

Good Morning,
I am really sorry about the warm water. I actually booked them in another chalet and gave them a choice. They decided on the chalet on the river, so I didn't check everything. My sincere apologies. The warm water was a problem. Beging in Skeerpoort we couldn't get a new thermostat on a Sunday. The best alternative was to let them have a shower in another chalet.
Warm regards,
Nonnie

Rustige omgewing.

Na my mening is die plek onnet, benodig opkikkering en aandag aan die terrein en aansig is baie nodig. Vir dit wat aangebied word, is die tarief baie te hoog.

Peaceful environment.

In my opinion the place was unneat. It needs some rejuvenation and attention to the terrain is much needed. For what it offers, the tariffs are a bit steep.

The room was smelly, mouldy. They have dogs running around the place. Jacuzzi was not working. No privacy at all, especially the kitchen area. Place desperately needs an upgrade. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

It was a bad visit at that place, as not clean and hygiene not up to standard.

Bedding was dirty, the toilets were leaking and it's not hygienic. Dogs are all over the place, inside the chalet there is a notice that says enter at your own risk, surely they are aware that this is a mistake. There is no cleaning people, only one guy. There is no receptionist to welcome you and to address the guest.

Paradise Village 's response

This is really a surprise. These ladies were so happy and thanked me for a wonderful time with a promise to see me soon. I do my own linen and are very particular about that. I had one guy just to clean for them. I stay on the property and no one reported a leaking toilet. They arrived by bus at 22.00 on Friday night an I personally welcomed them. They left at16.00 on Sunday. I am sorry that it was a disappointment. They fed the dogs and thanked me for the hospitality.

Kind regards
