Highly satisfactory. Definitely our future overnight stop en route.

Very comfortable accommodation and "shelter" from the cold. Very friendly reception.

Clean, neat, everything you need for an overnight stay.

Lovely location, clean and spacious. Enjoyed our stay. Separate area for dining, kitchen, and TV lounge. On the main road, not far from Gariep Dam - no gravel roads. Ideal for a getaway from the city.

Mooi, gemaklik.

Fantastiese verblyf op pad see toe. Ons het iets waardevol per abuis daar vergeet en die eienaar het dit vir ons opgepas tot ons weer daar verby was. Die kamers is pragtig, skoon, snoesig en in 'n besondere mooi omgewing.

Beautiful, comfortable.

Fantastic stay on the way to the sea. We accidentally forgot something valuable there and the owner looked after it for us until we were back. The rooms are beautiful, clean, cosy and in a particularly beautiful setting.

Perfek vir 'n gesin.

Dit was perfek vir 'n oornagstop op die lang pad. Hulle het selfs ons laat weet dat die kamer wat ons het nie 'n stort het nie; hulle het 'n ander kamer vir ons geoffer indien ons eerder 'n stort soek. Dis regtig perfek vir 'n gesin.

Perfect for a family.

It was perfect for an overnight stop on a long road trip. They even let us know that the room we had didn't have a shower; they offered us another room if we wanted one. It's really perfect for a family.

Friendly, neat and well worth the visit.

Very friendly and helpful hosts. Neat and well organised unit, our unit no. 3 had a lovely large bath in it. Our fur baby was with us and the room was pretty soundproof, which helped for a good night's rest. Definitely recommend Ruigtevallei Lodge for a stopover and we will definitely visit them again!

Very comfortable and peaceful.

Johan was extremely helpful with all our needs. Our car battery died, and he organised somebody to help us get the car started and also helped with my phone charger that I had forgotten there. Our cottage was a 3 sleeper and had no crockery or cutlery, but Johan made a plan for us. I would recommend that there be crockery and cutlery in the unit.

Baie rustig en veilig op 'n plaas.

Het in kamer no. 1 gebly wat skoon en netjies toegerus is. Parkering is naby die kamer wat dit baie gerieflik maak met die uitpak van bagasie. Alhoewel die lodge op 'n plaas is, is dit reg langs die teerpad en is uitstekend geleë. Baie vriendelik ontvang deur Jaco. Kamer is toegerus met 'n dakwaaier en goeie WiFi opvangs. Geen TV.

Stayed in room no. 1 which is clean and neatly equipped. Parking is close to the room which makes it very convenient when unpacking luggage. Although the lodge is on a farm, it is right next to the tar road and is excellently located. Very friendly welcome by Jaco. Room is equipped with a ceiling fan and good WiFi reception. No TV.

Netjies, veilig met ruimte vir verbetering.

Kamer 4 nie bespreek, maar kamer 3 volgens besprekingsvorm. Baie warm, met slegs 'n waaier in, kon glad nie slaap. Verder het ons geen stoele gehad om buite te sit nie, die ander kamers het stoele en tafel voor skuifdeure gehad en was almal bespreek. Verder baie skoon linne en skoon vertrekke. Plaasdam bietjie van teleurstelling. Kan as daar mense verwag word net bo skoongemaak word. Weet daar bome, maar dit 'n paar dae se dryfsels. Glo nie iemand sal dit kan aanbeveel as daar 'n bietjie ongerief was nie. My kontak sel nommer inkorrekt. So dame vra my het ek nie haar boodskappe gekry nie.

Room 4 not booked, but room 3 according to booking form. Very hot, with only a fan in, could not sleep at all. Furthermore, we had no chairs to sit outside, the other rooms had chairs and a table in front of sliding doors and were all booked. Furthermore, very clean linen and clean rooms. Farm pond a bit of a disappointment. Could be cleaned just above if people are expected. I know there are trees, but that's a few days' drifts. I don't think anyone would be able to recommend it if there was a little inconvenience. My contact cell number is incorrect. So the lady asked me I didn't get her messages.

'n Lieflike plek met baie potensiaal maar kort aandag.

Ruigtevallei is pragtig en die area is stil en tranquil. Jaco was 'n awesome gasheer en het ons welkom laat voel. Selfs ons is opgegradeer na 2 kamers omdat die oorspronklike kamer se lugversorger nie werk nie. Tensy dit was, was die kamers ongelooflik en ongemaklik warm. Die lugversorgers is nie effektief nie en die dakwaaiers nog minder. Kan nie vensters opmaak nie want dan vreet die muskiete jou op. Dit is 'n pragtige plek maar die lugversorgers sal opgegradeer moet word of die plafonne geisoleer word.

A lovely place with lots of potential but lacking attention.

Ruigtevallei is beautiful and the area is quiet and tranquil. Jaco was an awesome host and made us feel welcome. We even got upgraded to 2 rooms because the original room's air conditioner wasn't working. Unless it was, the rooms were incredibly and uncomfortably hot. The air conditioners are not effective and the ceiling fans even less so. Can't open windows because then the mosquitoes eat you up. It's a beautiful place but the air conditioners need to be upgraded or the ceilings insulated.

Heerlik, ons sal weer daar slaap.

Dit was heerlik. Die swembad beslis vir ons 'n wenner. Jaco was baie gasvry en alles was mooi en netjies. Stil, ryk aan voëllewe, lekker braai geriewe met droë hout, en ys. Altyd 'n wenner.

Heerlike oornag verbly oppad Kaap toe.

Dit was 'n heerlike, gemaklike oornagverblyf oppad Jeffreysbaai toe. Ek kan wel net noem dat die kamers sonder lugversorger onhoudbaar warm was toe ons geslaap het. Almal het baie ongemaklik geslaap en was baie wakker. Nie al die vensters en deure het muskietnette nie, asook is mens bekommerd om oop te los agv veiligheid.

Have a great overnight stay on the way to the Cape.

It was a lovely, comfortable overnight stay on the way to Jeffreys Bay. I can only mention that the rooms without air conditioning were unbearably hot when we slept. Everyone slept very uncomfortably and was very awake. Not all the windows and doors have mosquito nets, and one is worried about leaving them open for safety reasons.

Poor room design - no air flow, too hot.

Room was incredibly hot. The only window was in the bathroom. The ceiling fan was not over the bed. Couldn't leave the sliding door open due to security, so no breeze. The heat made sleeping very difficult. There was also a sewage smell in the bathroom.

Bevestigde verblyf het nie realiseer nie.

Baie teleurgesteld in Ruigtevallei Lodge. Die verblyf wat ons bevestig het met 'n bad vir ons baba het nie realiseer nie. Ongeag van bewys van bevestiging, het die ontvangs laat weet die kamer is reeds aan ander gaste gegee. Die bestuur was onbehulpsaam en het geen verantwoordelikheid geneem nie. Ons het al vantevore 'n soortgelyke bedrag vir ander verblyf betaal en meer gekry. Alhoewel Ruigtevallei nie duur is nie, voel ek nie die lodge bied waarde vir geld nie.

Confirmed stay did not materialize.

Very disappointed in Ruigtevallei Lodge. The accommodation we confirmed with a bath for our baby did not materialize. Regardless of proof of confirmation, the reception informed that the room was already given to other guests. The management was unhelpful and took no responsibility. We have paid a similar amount for other accommodation before and got more. Although Ruigtevallei is not expensive, I do not feel the lodge offers value for money.

Ek het lekker gebly - ideale oorslaapplek in die middel van die land.

Die kamer is netjies en gemaklik om in te bly. Die eienaar het my ontvang en alles verduidelik. Hy het ook seker gemaak ek het toegang tot die wifi-koppeling want ek moes 'n paar e-posse afhandel. Die gesamentlike woonkamer (waar die wifi is) en kombuis is apart van die kamers en alhoewel ek gesien het ander gaste het gekla oor die wifi-koppeling by die kamers, het dit foutloos vir my gewerk. Vir my oog (ek hou van die Karoo) is dit 'n baie mooi omgewing waar Ruigtevallei geleë is.

The room is neat and comfortable to stay in. The owner received me and explained everything. He also made sure I had access to the wifi connection as I had to finish some emails. The shared living room (where the wifi is) and kitchen are separate from the rooms and although I've seen other guests complain about the wifi connection at the rooms, it worked flawlessly for me. To my eye (I like the Karoo) it is a very beautiful environment where Ruigtevallei is located.

Wonderlike atmosfeer en effens weg van die gedruis.

Fantastiese oornag-opsie vir die wat net bietjie weg van die gejaag wil kom. Skoon, netjies en vriendelike diens.

Baie rustig.

Ons was verwelkom by ons aankoms en op 'n vinnige toer van die perseël geneem. Daar was geen inteken of uitteken verpligtinge nie en ons kon die woonstelsleutel in die deur los en ry toe dit ons gepas het. Die swembad was heerlik na die warm dag en die sterre was baie mooi om te aanskou terwyl jy dryf op die water. Die gemeenskaplike area was baie skoon en netjies, nes die woonstel, en mens kan buite braai ook. Handdoeke was voorsien en die stort is groot genoeg vir 2 mense. Daar is 'n paar restaurante in die omgewing, maar De Stijl het ons teleurgestel met hul diens en spesifike etenstye. Die lodge is baie gerieflik geleë en maklik om te kry met die GPS. Ek voel natuurlik die bedrag vir een aand is bietjie buitensporig, maar dis glad nie oor die plek self aan enige iets ontbreek nie. Definitief 'n goeie plek om oor te bly as 'n halfpad-merk tussen Gauteng en die Kaap. Baie dankie vir die goeie diens.

Very calm.

We were welcomed upon arrival and taken on a quick tour of the premises. There were no check-in or check-out obligations and we could leave the apartment key in the door and drive when it suited us. The pool was lovely after the hot day and the stars were very beautiful to watch as you floated on the water. The common area was very clean and tidy, just like the apartment, and you can also barbecue outside. Towels were provided and the shower is big enough for 2 people. There are a few restaurants in the area, but De Stijl disappointed us with their service and specific dining times. The lodge is very conveniently located and easy to find with the GPS. Of course, I feel that the amount for one night is a bit excessive, but there is nothing lacking about the place itself. Definitely a good place to stay as a halfway mark between Gauteng and the Cape. Thank you very much for the good service.

Goeie verblyf, rustige omgewing.

Negatiewe aspek is gesamentlike gebruik van kombuis. Geen yskas in die kamer nie. Die kamer en badkamer is netjies en skoon. Meer geriewe inkamer sal waardeer word. WiFi slegs in gemeenskaplike area. Kan nie gebruik in kamer nie.

Good stay, peaceful environment.

Negative aspect is joint use of kitchen. No fridge in the room. The room and bathroom are neat and clean. More in-room amenities would be appreciated. WiFi only in common area. Cannot be used in room.

Die kuier was onaangenaam aangesien daar gedeelde kombuisgeriewe is (wat nie 'n probleem is nie) maar 'n yskas in die kamer sal mens baie help.

Die lugverkoeling was stukkend en die kamer ongemaklik warm. Geen yskas in die kamer, of drinkwater nie.

The visit was unpleasant as there are shared kitchen facilities (which is not a problem) but a fridge in the room would help a lot.

The air conditioning was broken and the room uncomfortably hot. No fridge in the room, or drinking water.
