Convenient and beautiful.

I could not believe that we have been driving past this amazing lodging all these years. After checking in, the excitement in my kids to see the river, bridge and play was palpable. The room accommodated me and my kids comfortably and the view was spectacular.

Gemaklik en skoon.

Die verblyf is baie gemaklik, maar dit is nie goeie waarde vir geld nie. Dit is effens aan die duur kant. Die kamer en beddegoed is baie skoon en van goeie gehalte. Die stort is groot en gemaklik, maar die watertemperatuur is byna onmoontlik om te stel. Of jy brand, of jy vries .

The accommodation is very comfortable, but it is not good value for money. It is slightly on the expensive side. The room and bedding are very clean and of good quality. The shower is large and comfortable, but the water temperature is almost impossible to set. Either you burn, or you freeze.

Good overnight spot.

This was a very convenient stopover. The room was small, but for a quick one-night stay, it was more than sufficient. The aircon was very welcome. It does not have a fridge, but they were very accommodating to keep our cold items in the lodge fridge. I'm personally not a fan of "open plan" showers as you end up with water all over the floor, but I didn't have to reuse the wet towels, so I just managed. I would recommend a shower door or at the very least a curtain.

Nie wonderlik nie.

Ons het net 1 aand oorgeslaap by Riverside Lodge - 2 volwassenes en 2 seuns van 10 en 12 jr. Alhoewel die eenheid baie mooi en netjies lyk as jy instap, is daar 'n paar goed wat pla. Die slaapplek vir die seuns was 'n baie dun en klein sleeper-kouch - dit is glad nie voldoende nie en nie wat in die beskrywing geadverteer is nie. Dit is skaars geskik vir 1 persoon. Die stort was koud en die water het nooit warm geword nie - is daar iets fout met die geiser? Ander mense in die oord was baie raserig tot laat in die nag en weer vroeg die volgende oggend - geen poging is aangewend om hulle stil te maak nie.

Not great.

We only stayed 1 night at Riverside Lodge - 2 adults and 2 boys aged 10 and 12. Although the unit looks very nice and tidy when you walk in, there are a few things that bother. The sleeping accommodation for the boys was a very thin and small sleeper couch - not adequate at all and not what was advertised in the description. It is hardly suitable for 1 person. The shower was cold and the water never got hot - is there something wrong with the geyser? Other people in the resort were very noisy late into the night and again early the next morning - no attempt was made to silence them.

Oor die algemeen goeie ervaring. Die kamers is baie klein, maar netjies. Die lugverkoelingboks van die eenheid bo ons, wat aan ons eenheid vasgeheg was, was egter foutief en het heelnag soos 'n kragopwekker geraas! Hoop die probleem word aangespreek, anders sal ons nie weer van die verblyf gebruik maak nie.

Baie teleurgesteld. Die instansie is besig met verbeterings. Dit word nie op webtuiste aangedui nie.

Dit is chaos daar op die oomblik. Restaurant is nie oop vir aandetes nie, slegs kroeg area wat meer soos 'n kafee voorkom. Dit lyk ook of dit oop is vir gebruik deur die publiek. Rivier area word gebruik vir parkering. Daar is boumateriaal oral. Speelarea is verwaarloos. Kamer is wel nuut oorgedoen, maar piepklein vir 'n deluxe-eenheid.

Very disappointed. The institution is busy with improvements. This is not indicated on the website.

It's chaos there right now. Restaurant is not open for dinner, only bar area which appears more like a cafe. It also appears to be open for use by the public. River area is used for parking. There are building materials everywhere. Play area is neglected. Room is newly redone, but tiny for a deluxe unit.

Teleurstellend.

Ons oornag by Riverside Lodge was nie te wonderlik nie. Daar was nie water nie, so ons kon nie ons kinders bad nie. Die nutsman het gekom om die water te herstel, maar het so vreeslik geraas in die kamer bo ons dat ons nie ons kinders aan die slaap kon kry nie. Na dit alles was daar steeds nie water nie. Ons kon nie eers tandeborsel of die toilet spoel nie. Hulle wou ons skuif na 'n kamer in 'n ander gebou, maar daar sou te min beddens wees vir ons en ons kinders. Dit is gerieflik dat daar 'n restaurant op die perseel is en ons kon daar eet al was dit 'n sondagaand. Die kamer was skoon en netjies, die dekor kan dalk bietjie vernuwe word. Wat mense dalk net moet weet, is dat dit 'n dubbelverdieping hout gebou is. So as julle in die onderste kamers slaap, hoor julle elke treë wat die mens bo julle gee. Nie ideaal as jy klein kindertjies het wat vroeg moet slaap of as jou bo-bure baie vroeg ry die volgende oggend nie. Ek glo nie ons sal weer daar oornag nie.

Disappointing.

Our overnight stay at Riverside Lodge was not too great. There was no water, so we could not bathe our children. The handyman came to fix the water, but made so much noise in the room above us that we couldn't get our children to sleep. After all this there was still no water. We couldn't even brush our teeth or flush the toilet. They wanted to move us to a room in another building, but there would be too few beds for us and our children. It is convenient that there is a restaurant on the premises and we were able to eat there even though it was a Sunday evening. The room was clean and tidy, the decor could perhaps be updated a bit. What people might just need to know is that it is a double story wooden building. So if you sleep in the lower rooms, you hear every step that the person above you takes. Not ideal if you have small children who need to sleep early or if your upstairs neighbors drive very early the next morning. I don't think we will stay there again.

Laat veel te wense.

Aliwal Noord is nie 'n lekker vakansie dorp nie, maar as jy moet oorbly, is dit seker een van die beter opsies. Die chalet en beddegoed was baie netjies en skoon, maar die bed was kliphard, soos 'n strykplank. Daar is geen toegang tot die rivier nie; dit is toe met bosse en heinings. Daar is net 'n gemeenskaplike braai vir almal, wat vol bou-toerusting staan. Die swembad is vuil en die restaurant is meer soos 'n taverne wat oop is vir die publiek ook. Karre hoot ook die hele nag soos hulle oor die grens gaan, reg langs die lodge. Daar is absoluut niks om te doen behalwe in jou kamer sit nie.

Leaves much to be desired.

Aliwal North is not a nice holiday town, but if you have to stay over, it is probably one of the better options. The chalet and bedding were very neat and clean, but the bed was rock hard, like an ironing board. There is no access to the river; it is then with bushes and hedges. There is only a common braai for everyone, which is full of construction equipment. The pool is dirty and the restaurant is more like a tavern open to the public as well. Cars also hoot all night as they cross the border, right next to the lodge. There is absolutely nothing to do but sit in your room.

Asemrowende uitsig!

Kamer is gerieflik, skoon en netjies met 'n pragtige uitsig! As natuurliefhebbers maak dit op vir die effense gebrek aan ingerigtheid. As sakereisigers het ons egter 'n behoefte aan 'n skryftafel. 'n Klein, kompakte yskassie sou ook ons padkos kon koud hou vir die volgende dag, maar beveel beslis aan, het die verblyf geniet.

A pleasant overnight stopover.

We had a pleasant overnight stay at Riverside Lodge. The staff were friendly and allowed for a late check-in. The unit was well designed, the only downside was the shower which did not have a shower door resulting in the whole bathroom floor being covered in water after taking a shower (we stayed in the modern unit with a partial river view). Overall we were impressed with the facilities and the staff's friendliness.

Very pleasant and perfect location for a stop over.

Very nice. The only problem was that, given the weather, there was nowhere else we could take our 3-year-olds but to the pub/restaurant, which was not particularly child-friendly. We had planned to take food to the play area, but that was not possible. The setup is still good and it was a nice place to stop.

Goeie plek vir 1 nag.

Die kamer self was glad nie sleg nie, netjies en skoon, goed vir 'n een nag se verblyf. Die enigste probleem wat ons gehad het wat nie aangenaam was nie, was dat ons wou aandete gaan eet. Hulle het 'n pragtige eetplek, maar ons is gese om by die Pub&Grill te gaan eet. Daai plek is nie wonderlik nie, mens moet jou eie bestelling by die toonbank doen en dit was net nie aangenaam nie. Hulle het darem aangebied om die kos na ons kamer toe te bring. As Riverside Lodge dit meer gerieflik wil maak vir hulle verblyfgaste, moet hulle immers aandete ook aanbied. Al was die kamer nie te sleg nie, kon hulle immers sjampoe of stortgel gehad het, net 'n koekie seep was op die wasbak.

Good place for 1 night.

The room itself was not bad at all, neat and clean, good for a one night stay. The only problem we had that wasn't pleasant was that we wanted to go out to dinner. They have a beautiful dining area, but we were told to eat at the Pub&Grill. That place is not great, you have to make your own order at the counter and it just wasn't pleasant. At least they offered to bring the food to our room. If Riverside Lodge wants to make it more convenient for their guests, they must also offer dinner. Even though the room wasn't too bad, after all they could have had shampoo or shower gel, only a bar of soap was on the sink.

Lekker geslaap. Baie goeie diens.

Die klein goedjies sal moet bietjie aandag kry. Ons eenheid se lugversorging, waaier en TV het nie gewerk nie. Ook nie van die ligte nie. Dit wat ons in die restaurant bestel het, was nie op standaard nie. Veral die steak waarna ek uitgesien het, was van swak gehalte en die voorbereiding het ook tekort geskied. Die diens en ontvangs wat ons in die restaurant gekry het, was baie goed.

Right next to the river, had a gorgeous view and a nice balcony to enjoy the view on. The restaurant closed extremely early, unfortunately. The reception staff were a bit rude.

Good day.
Thank you for the feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed your view from the balcony in our precious area overlooking the Orange River.
We're really sorry to hear that you found our staff at reception a bit rude. We have addressed this with them.
The restaurant closes earlier on Sunday evenings due to our municipal by-laws restricting the sale of alcohol on Sunday evenings.
We hope to see you again soon and that your next stay will be even more memorable and enjoyable. As a team, we always strive to improve and our clients are our top priority.
Have a blessed New Year. May 2024 be filled with love, laughter, and good health.

Kamer baie klein. Restaurant baie duur.

Ek sal sê die kamer is net groot genoeg vir een persoon. Ons was twee en slegs een persoon kan aan die voet van die bed beweeg. Ons het ook nie genoeg plek vir ons tasse gehad nie. Die restaurant se kos sal ek nie oor huistoe skryf nie. Dis ondergemiddeld. Ek gee nie om om vir goeie kos te betaal nie. Maar die is belaglik. Ontbyt was ook baie duur.

I would say the room is just big enough for one person. There were two of us and only one person can move at the foot of the bed. We also didn't have enough room for our bags. I will not write home about the restaurant's food. It's below average. I don't mind paying for good food. But that is ridiculous. Breakfast was also very expensive.

Dit was nie wat ons verwag het nie.

Die kamer kort 'n yskas, jy kan niks koud hou. Sit 'n klein vadoek in die kamer as jy koffie maak en jy mors per ongeluk dan kan jy skoonmaak. Daar is geen skoon water vir die ketel, my man is daar weg met 'n omgekrapte maag, die water proe brak. Die brug wat die provinsies skei is 'n seer oog met almal wat hul vuilgoed daar gooi en almal sit daar. Die karwag staan met 'n sambok daar dan moet daar beslis 'n probleem wees. Die uitsig oor die rivier is swak met die lang gras. Die warmwaterbron in die dorp lyk sleg, die water is bruin, jy kan die swembad se bodem nie sien. Beslis net 'n dorp vir deurry en nie vir toeriste nie. Die gebou buite kort aandag.

It was not what we expected.

The room lacks a fridge, you can't keep anything cold. Put a small dish towel in the room if you make coffee and you spill by accident then you can clean up. There is no clean water for the boiler, my husband left there with an upset stomach, the water tastes brackish. The bridge that separates the provinces is an eyesore with everyone throwing their rubbish there and everyone sitting there. The car guard is standing there with a sambok then there must definitely be a problem. The view of the river is poor with the long grass. The hot spring in town looks bad, the water is brown, you can't see the bottom of the pool. Definitely just a town for driving through and not for tourists. The building outside needs attention.

So-so.

Geen yskas, stortgordyn, lugreeling. Min privaatheid. Motor ver van eenheid om bagasie af te pak. Stortdreinering verstop. Leesliggies onprakties. Geen opwekker in oggend om tee te maak nie. Als maar baie basies.

Oorslaap oppad terug van die Oos-Kaap.

Die plek is regtig net vir oorslaap. Die badkamer se water loop oor in die kamer en maak die matte nat. Hulle is besig met opgraderings, maar daar is nog baie wat reggestel moet word voordat ek weer daar sal oorslaap.

Lekker, vriendelik, behulpsaam, professioneel, uniek.

Die Lodge en sy personeel en bestuur is vriendelik en baie behulpsaam. Die bestuur se interaksie is ook persoonlik en maak nie staat op kommunikasie deur hulle werknemers nie. Die lodge is perfek as gevolg van die feit dat jy nie die perseel hoef te verlaat vir enige iets nie. Daar is 'n restaurant en kroeg op die perseel. Jy kan self vleis op die perseel koop indien jy eerder verkies om self kos te maak. Die lodge is ook op die Oranje Rivier en reg oorkant 'n vulstasie wat dit baie gerieflik maak. Die slaap plek is netjies en skoon. Ons het 'n baie aangename ervaring by hulle gehad en sal weer daar oorbly.

The Lodge and its staff and management are friendly and very helpful. The management's interaction is also personal and does not rely on communication by their employees. The lodge is perfect because you don't have to leave the premises for anything. There is a restaurant and bar on site. You can buy meat on site if you prefer to cook yourself. The lodge is also on the Orange River and right across from a gas station which makes it very convenient. The sleeping place is neat and clean. We had a very pleasant experience with them and would stay there again.

Goeie ligging maar benodig baie werk.

Die ligging van die lodge is goed, en baie rustig langs die rivier. Die kamers waarin ons gebly het is baie oud en benodig opknappingswerk. Vir die kostes per nag regverdig dit nie die kwaliteit van kamers waarin ons gebly het nie.

Goeie dag Andre
Dankie vir u terugvoer - ons is opgewonde om te deel dat ons reeds begin het met die opknapping van sekere kamers en daai kamers waarin u gebly het word in die volgende maand toegerus met nuwe badkamers ens.
Dit is egter ons meer basiese kamers en die tarief is goedkoper as die reeds opgeknapte kamers.
Ons hoop as jul weer kom is dit voltooi. Alle kommentaar word as positief beskou - want ons weet dat daar altyd plek vir verbetering is. Ons is egter bly dat u die ligging en die mooi van ons area ens. beleef het.
Baie groete

Restaurant-ontbyt ontsettend duur vir wat mens kry.

Die restaurants was teleurstellend. Een was nie oop vir aandete nie alhoewel webtuiste spyskaart van osstert ens. adverteer het. Die kafee-tipe kroeg/restaurant wat wel oop was het 'n teleurstellende spyskaart gehad. Ons moes alternatiewe aandeteplek soek. Ontbyt was ontsettend duur vir wat mens kry. Beter en lekkerder om 'n Wimpy-ontbyt oorkant die pad te geniet.

Ons het vir een nag oorgeslaap op pad Lady Grey toe. Daar is 'n paar probleme wat ons hieronder sal noem.

Tekortkominge: Min beweegruimte. Stel voor hangkas word verwyder en vervang met oop klererakke en klerehangerrak. Net een bedliggie en bedkassie is hinderlik. Die sekuriteit is onvoldoende. Die 24-uur hekwag sit in die hokkie verste van die ingangshek af en iemand kan maklik daar inloop sonder dat hy dit gesien het. Die uitgangshek is met 'n hangslot gesluit en die hekwag moet dit kom oopmaak. Toe ons die aand wou uitgaan het die kamertelefoon nie gewerk nie en moes ons na die hekwag loop om die uitgangshek oopgesluit te kry. Toe ons die oggend vertrek was die uitgangshek heeltyd oop en dus kon enige persoon daar inloop. Stel voor dat die hek outomaties oop en weer toemaak as 'n voertuig uitry.

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

We stopped over for one night on our way to Lady Grey. There are some problems which we will mention below.

Weaknesses: Little room to move. Suggest hanging wardrobe be removed and replaced with open clothes racks and clothes hanger rack. Only one bedside light and bedside table are a hindrance. The security is insufficient. The 24-hour gate guard sits in the cubicle furthest from the entrance gate and someone can easily walk in there without being seen. The exit gate is locked with a padlock and the gate guard must come and open it. When we wanted to go out that night, the room phone didn't work and we had to walk to the gate guard to get the exit gate unlocked. When we left in the morning the exit gate was open all the time and so any person could walk in there. Suggest that the gate automatically open and close again when a vehicle exits.

A bit shabby.

Room was a bit shabby. Air conditioner didn't work, kettle plug was temperamental, bedside lamps were not plugged in (and an inaccessible plug point behind the bed), terribly cheap coffee, toilet didn't flush well, no door on bathroom (it was a disabled-friendly room). It was bitterly cold in the room. Double bed was small. Definitely not a family room as advertised. If we had children with us I don't know where they would have slept. However, the room had a lovely river view and was pet friendly.

Riverside Lodge 's response

Good day Sally,
Thank you for the review received.
I've just sent the housekeeper to check on the plug and air-conditioner, and it is functional. Did you report this to management while you were on the premises.
We offer Nescafe and Ricoffee sachets in the rooms, however, the restaurants offer more expensive options.
The room is advertised and sold as a disability-friendly room, it cannot have a door that obstructs wheelchair access.
A double bed is a standardized size. We do not advertise the room with a king- or a queen-size bed, and there is a sleeper couch in the lounge, which offers space for children.
Regards

Goeie dag Michelle

Ons is jammer dat jy jou verblyf hier nie na satisfaksie beskou het nie.

Ons sal beslis daarna kyk hoekom die drein 'n reuk afgegee het.
Die swembad is gewoonlik ons trots en is onlangs weer geteel, ek weet dat ons vreeslike storms in die laaste paar weke gehad het, wat dit dalk kon beinvloed het.

Mnr Thatcher bly op die perseel en in die toekoms is u welkom om hom te kontak via ons ontvangs indien daar ooit weer sulke probleme opduik.

Dankie vir u ondersteuning.
Ons as bestuur werk hard om hierdie familie besigheid ten spyte van al die terugslae van die laaste 2 jaar optimaal en met trots te bestuur.
Daarom neem ons hierdie boodskap ter harte en as positiewe kritiek.

Groete,
Emma

Ongelukkig glad nie meer waarde vir geld nie.

Ek het gereeld by Riverside aangedoen op sakereise en was nog altyd mal oor die plek. Ongelukkig is hierdie instansie glad nie meer wat dit was nie. Die prys van R1111. 00 (enkelpersoon per nag) is peperduur inaggenome wat 'n mens kry: Geen ontbyt. 'n Kamer wat geleë is weg van die rivierfront teenaan die muur - met 'n besige en lawaaierige grondpad daaragter. Die kamer is basies, sonder yskassie en met slegs 2 werkende DStv-kanale (waarvan een eTV is). Die meubels is verouderd en die kamer het effens na rook geruik. 'n Beknopte stort en lekkende krane in die wasbak. Hierby moes ek die toegangshek meermale self oop en toemaak soos ek in en uitgaan (ek het nie 'n probleem hiermee nie maar dit is onveilig - in die verlede was die hek deur 'n wag beman). Die kroeg se kos is aangenaam maar duur en die personeel was nie vreeslik hulpvaardig nie.

Unfortunately no more value for money at all.

I used to stop at Riverside on business trips and always loved the place. Unfortunately, this institution is no longer what it used to be. The price of R1111. 00 (single person per night) is what you get: No breakfast. A room located away from the river front against the wall - with a busy and noisy dirt road behind it. The room is basic, without a small fridge and with only 2 working DStv channels (one of which is eTV). The furniture was outdated and the room smelled slightly of smoke. A cramped shower and leaky faucets in the sink. In addition, I had to open and close the entrance gate myself several times as I entered and exited (I don't have a problem with this but it is unsafe - in the past the gate was manned by a guard). The bar's food is pleasant but expensive and the staff were not terribly helpful.

Ek het na ons aankoms gevra vir 'n kamer met 'n yskas waar ons toe darem ook 'n aparte slaapkamer gehad het aangesien die eenheid wat ons toegeken was nie 'n yskas gehad het nie en ook nie 'n aparte slaapkamer nie. Die ontvangsdame was so gaaf om die vleis wat ons saamgery het in hulle vrieskas te akkommodeer. Die sekuriteitsbeampte was vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die eerste eenheid se parkering was glad nie veilig nie. Die tweede eenheid s'n was beter. Ek sal beslis twee maal dink voor ek weer daar gaan oorslaap.

It was average.

The units did not have refrigerators, cutlery, etc. Nor a trash can. After our arrival I asked for a room with a fridge where at least we had a separate bedroom as the unit we were allocated did not have a fridge nor a separate bedroom. The receptionist was kind enough to accommodate the meat we brought along in their freezer. The security officer was friendly and helpful. The first unit's parking was not secure at all. The second unit's was better. I will definitely think twice before staying there again.

Die diens was uiters swak, het betaal vir 3 mense dubbelkamer gekry met een klein dubbelbed, geen ander slaapplek vir my kleinkind, nie eers 'n sofabed nie, kamer was vuil, nie genoeg koffie net vir een persoon.

Met eienaar gepraat en gevra om ekstra bed in te dra, het aangedui kan nie, want hy het nie staf om dit te doen. My dogter wat 53 kg weeg het self na 'n 2de kamer wat hy aangebied het baie ver van no 10 wat ons gekry het gestap trappe op en af en 'n matras na nr 10 gedra. Ons 2 vrouens en een kind. Ons het betaal vir 'n derde persoon, so het ontvangs verduidelik maar daar is geen bed vir die persoon nie! Nee wat nooit weer nie!

The service was extremely poor, paid for 3 people got a double room with one small double bed, no other place to sleep for my grandchild, not even a sofa bed, room was dirty, not enough coffee just for one person.

Spoke to the owner and asked to bring in an extra bed, indicated that he could not, because he did not have the staff to do so. My daughter who weighs 53 kg walked up and down stairs herself to a 2nd room he offered very far from no 10 we got and carried a mattress to no 10. Our 2 wives and one child. We paid for a third person, so reception explained but there is no bed for the person! No, never again!

Baie basies, maar meer as genoeg vir ons en hondevriendelik.

Die restaurant se vleisgehalte kan met die bestes van SA meeding! Moenie daar verby ry sonder om ‘n stukkie rump te eet en die uitsig oor die Oranjerivier te geniet nie!

Very basic but more than enough for us and dog friendly.

The restaurant's meat quality can compete with the best in SA! Don't drive past there without eating a piece of rump and enjoying the view over the Orange River!

Outyds en vuil.

Vir R1010 per nag sou ek beter verwag het. Vuil mure en matte. Geen yskassie. Outydse badkamer. Gat in vloer. Spykers staan uit in trappe. Balkon voel onveilig.

Old fashioned and dirty.

For R1010 per night I would have expected better. Dirty walls and carpets. No fridge. Old fashioned bathroom. Hole in floor. Nails stick out in stairs. Balcony feels unsafe.
