24 hours on duty. Safe.
There is always someone on duty. It was reassuring. Our hours there were not ordinary hours; booked very late and again booked an extra night at the last minute as well. It was a good place to stay with difficult personal circumstances.

Not again.
No. The room was up to standard, but the bathroom not at all. The sink had no hot water, the shower was a total fiasco. The water dripped out, had no pressure. Shower was pathetic. There is a silence rule at 22:00, but other guests make noise until the early hours of the morning.

Ok for one night sleepover but not a good place to visit.
Previous guests still in room 15:00, aircon not working, mold growing in shower walls. Will not use again.

Dirty, musty and unpleasant.
The walls and showers are full of mold, bedding is dirty, ceilings peeling off. The only highlight of the stay was the breakfast and the cook who prepared the food. He comes from Rouxville, where my Dad grew up, he and my Dad could exchange stories over breakfast.

Not what one expected.
The lodge is clean and tidy and the lady on duty was extremely helpful. It seems that once upon a time it was a messy place, but now things are falling apart a bit, with loose bathroom "fittings", small fridges that have seen better days, cracked plates and cups, etc. The location is only good if you have to visit someone in Universitas, because otherwise you feel very unsafe as soon as you drive out the gate. Not bad for someone on a tight budget, but I didn't consider R1000 per night per room a bargain, so the prices definitely need to be adjusted.

Chaos! Dronkenskap! Lawaai! Geen beheer oor gaste wat wangedrag openbaar nie!

Chaos! Drunkenness! Noise! No control over guests who misbehave!
The management allows disorder, noise and drunkenness and has no control over many of the guests. Drunk guests knock on your door in the early hours of the morning. Yelling and totally unacceptable behavior. We will never stay there again. Very bad experience. Even spoke to owner who didn't even give feedback again. Big disappointment.

Clean, neat, welcoming. Dinner not up to standard.
Very clean, neat, and the host was very warm, friendly, and helpful. Was wonderful to take a dip in the pool after a long day in the car especially for our 4 year old boy. But we were very disappointed by the terrible "dinner", R170 per person burger rip off. The food was cold. Hamburger patty wasn't cooked properly, the chips was undercooked, and the creamed spinach contained sand particles. So we ate what we could because we were very hungry, we already booked dinner, and there were no other options. At about 20:00 the power went out. No one told us what was happening or offered us a lamp or candle. Basically no guests at the lodge so really, they could at least have provided a lamp or a candle. Delicious breakfast.

Very comfortable! Very good service! Pleasant stay!
The facilities were very clean and comfortable. The only complaint was that our one room's curtains were not dark enough and the street lights were a bit of a nuisance, but otherwise the service was very good. Will definitely stay there again.

I was slightly disappointed with the breakfast - no napkins either day. Dirty plates etc. is not taken away and there is no place to put it. Second morning there was no yogurt or fruit - someone was out shopping.

Worst accommodation ever booked by Lekker slaap
Rooms incredibly small. Towels and bed linen have seen much better days. Shower was broken with pathetic water pressure... Young man at reception really tried his best but the other factors made it a poor experience....

The expectations created by advertising on the Internet are not at all what one gets.
Was acceptable but will not go there again at all. The person who helped us was very helpful, but it's just the quality of the place that was disappointing. Greater expectations were created by the ad.

Preferably avoid.
Accommodation was not up to standard at all. The bathroom door handle was broken, bedside lamp lights did not work and the shower was badly mouldy. If the bathroom door is closed, you can see everyone in the room, and everyone can see you. Parking where you pick up the keys for the rooms is not even on the same side of the establishment as the entrance to the rooms, necessitating you to drive around the block before you can park and go to your room.

Convenient and relaxing.
The accommodation was an oasis after the long ride from Worcester. Our reception was hospitable and friendly and they went to a lot of trouble to make our accommodation pleasant. The breakfast was five star and nicely presented. We can easily recommend this accommodation.
