The restaurant's meals are very tasty and prices are reasonable. Well located next to the Vaal River, but no view from the residential area.
Covid and two times of flooding have severely damaged the place.

Guesthouse competes with restaurant.
On arrival there was no parking available, because the restaurant is very popular. We were granted a table at the restaurant, because the tables are booked in advance. Margaret really went out of her way to make me comfortable and even moved us to accommodate us. Fortunately, the restaurant closed at 3pm, so all was quiet by sunset. I think at times that the restaurant is open late, it might be noisy until late. I'm disappointed that we didn't have a view of the dam wall.

Disappointed.
We understood that all the units were self-contained and that all faced the river which was not the case.

Hi daar. Dit is so ja en daarom verduidelik ons altyd dat die eenheid bedoen is vir 'n gesin met kinders en nie vir net volwassenes nie. Die kinders moet ook verkieslik minderjarig wees aangesien ons hulle naby die ouers hou. Lekker dag

Basies, goedkoop mengelmoes van beddegoed, ens.

Basically, cheap hodgepodge of bedding, etc.
We were very disappointed. The rooms are clearly furnished with cheap, leftover furniture and bedding. The staff was untrained and reception was simply a standing room in the dining room. The place is beautifully located and has potential, but is equipped and managed in a care-free manner.

Geagte Hetty,
U het ten eerste nie u werklike behoefte deurgegee toe u bespreek het nie. U het kamer 8, die honeymoonsuite, bespreek. By aankoms het ons besef hierdie eenheid is totaal ontoeganklik vir u, waarna ons u opgegradeer het na die duurste eenheid in die lodge ten einde u basiese behoefte te akkommodeer. Die beddegoed word aangekoop by 'n maatskappy wat spesialiseer in hotel linne. My meubelment is ten duurste aangekoop, maar kan ongelukkig nie alle gaste se behoefte bevredig nie.
Ons sou graag u misnoë wou aanspreek terwyl u nog by ons vertoef het, maar die indruk was geskep dat ons diens en bystand bevredigend was. Dit is jammer as u reis en verblyf nie na wense was nie.
Die uwe

Disappointed.
Not very tidy outside, no braai places near rooms, no chairs where you can comfortably hang out outside. The bathrooms are not old people friendly. Geysers are set off then half plunge into cold water. Microwave does not work as well as the 1 TV in the room. Not a very cozy place, definitely not going there again.

Beautifully along the river. Great staff and food was delicious.
However, I recommend that rooms be thoroughly checked before the time to check that lights, air conditioning and TV works. Only in the third room had working lights and air-cooling. TV channels can definitely be upgraded. There were only 4 channels, 2 sports, 1 children, and SABC 1. So nothing really to look at. And since Bloemhof, except to go to the beautiful dam, especially if you are not a fisherman, there is not much to do. There was also no WiFi and today it's almost a requirement!

Wonderful hospitality, helpfulness and service from the owners and staff. We couldn't have asked for anything better.
The 5/6 sleeper unit should, preferably not be rented as a self-catering place, or it should be appointed as a 4 sleeper unit. It is very small and there's only 3 chairs in the unit (we were 5 people). And there's no space for extra chairs. It would also help if guests are informed beforehand that the geysers are switched off between 08:00 and 16:00 during the day. A private appointed place where you can have a chat would also have been really nice.

However, I was slightly disappointed as I had called in advance to check about equipment in the accommodation and I was reassured that the place was fully equipped. However, we were disappointed: no barbecue tongs, bottle opener, bread knife, bread board and grill in the oven. But overall very nice stay.
