Not worth it.

It wasn't worth the money.

Pragtige plekkie en pragtige mense.

Denise en Morgan het regtig uit hul pad gegaan om ons tuis te laat voel, daar was selfs 'n bottel wyn op ys met ons aankoms! So baie dankie vir die gasvryheid, vriendelikheid en die bederf!

Beautiful place and beautiful people.

Denise and Morgan really went out of their way to make us feel at home, there was even a bottle of wine on ice when we arrived! Thank you so much for the hospitality, kindness and the treat!

Great views and so serene!

We had a very pleasant stay, Denise is an incredible host! Pity we could not use the swimming pool, unfortunately, we assumed it was available to guests since it was photographed.

Rapid Dawn River Lodge 's response

Hi Crystal,
So glad you enjoyed your stay - apologies about the swimming pool.
Yes there is a photograph but we always advise guests that the swimming is not available to guests.
My apologies that you were not advised.

Denise

Netjies en nuut oorgedoen.

Victer is baie hulpvaardig en gaan uit sy pad om jou tuis te laat voel. Sal weer daar bly. Ideaal vir bootry.

A refreshing experience.

If serene is what you are after...this is the place to be. It was not difficult to find, their signage is quite clear. Bertus is a very friendly guy. We had one of the river facing rooms and it was clean and a good size. The bathroom is really spacious.There is a bench and a set of chairs outside the room on the veranda which is a great place to have drinks whilst gazing at the river. We had a braai by the river at sunset. The area is unbelievably clean and great for pictures too. We spent our afternoon lazying by the pool. Wow this is our best Christmas experience yet. The restaurant is not yet functional, however.

Dit was rustig.

Alles was van die beste, behalwe veiligheid in vandag se lewe is hoog op my voorkeur lys, derhalwe moet ek dit noem, daar was geen sleutels in slotte, behalwe een klein sleutel in die groot veiligheidsdeur, ander kon jy na willekeur oop maak, asook geen leesliggies, net een daklig. Daar was ook geen Afrikaanse TV-kanaal nie, met so 'n pragtige opset het ons dit regtig gemis. Baie dankie vir die heerlike bly.

It was peaceful.

Everything was of the best, except safety in today's life is high on my priority list, so I have to mention this, there were no keys in locks, except one small key in the big security door, others you could at will open, as well as no reading lights, only one roof light. There was also no Afrikaans TV channel, with such a beautiful setup we really missed it. Thank you very much for the wonderful stay.

Really beautiful place but could use improving.

Rapid Dawn is a beautiful serene location for a couples gateway. The rooms are beautiful and the owner extremely pleasant and nice. We didn't particularly appreciate the absence of shower cap for my wife. On the second night our bedding was not changed and there was no hairdryer. Besides this issues we didn't like it was a beautiful place for us to unwind.

Rapid Dawn River Lodge 's response

Hi Ralph,

Thank you for the review, we will definitely look into the bedding issue and shower caps, and correct it A.S.A.P.
Unfortunately we do not provide hairdryers etc, but it will be looked into at a later stage.
As discussed with you, we have new management, thus things will only become better from here onward, as seen in the upgrades we are busy with.

It was really nice having you, we would really like to see you again soon.

Warm regards,

Bertus
