Dit was heerlik om saans op so 'n gemaklike bed jou kop neer te lê. Nie oor jou motor te bekommer.

Braai plek was ideaal, die mense wat ook op die perseel was, was netso lieflik.

Ons het die verblyf baie geniet. Die opsigter was baie lieflik en hy kon enige tyd opstaan wanneer ons hom benodig het. Behou die goeie diens net so.

It was okay.

My stay at Saldanha Bay Inn was okay, but the bathroom in our room was very nice. It's small and has no ventilation, and everything in the bathroom was very tight. There was a smell in the bathroom that was not nice, and the door was also not appropriate, but everything about our stay was nice.

Pleasant and comfortable.

It was sufficient for our requirements of just a place to sleep. The staff on site were very attentive; however, we were not given the code to the gate and had to hoot in front of the gate all the time to get in.

It was peaceful but the weather was extremely hot. There is no air conditioner or a fan in the room. Most times we can shower two to three times a day to cool down. We even prefer staying outside or by the beach than staying in the room.

Ons het lekker gekuier en sal weer Saldanha toe gaan.

Ek het goed gebly daar. Die netheid was nie 100% op standaard nie. Die WiFi het ons dikwels in die steek gelaat. Parkering is 'n groot probleem (die hek se motor is vervang, maar het nie 100% gewerk nie, terwyl die ander hek nie kon sluit/oopmaak nie) - daar is nie genoeg nie. Kombuisgeriewe was nie netjies nie. Ons het op dag 3 op eie versoek gevra om na 'n groter plek te skuif - ek het die aanpassingsbetaling onmiddelik betaal en geraporteer dat die stoof daar is, maar geen gassilinder nie - ons het die gassilinder op dag 5 ontvang. Ons was ses gaste vir die naweek met eetgerei vir 4 mense. Die lounge was nie die hele tyd oop vir ons gebruik nie. Dit is nie prakties om elke keer wanneer jy die plek verlaat die opsigter te bel en te vra om die hek oop en toe te maak nie.

We had a great time and will go to Saldanha again.

I had a good stay there. The cleanliness was not 100% up to standard. The WiFi often let us down. Parking is a big problem (the gate's motor was replaced but didn't work 100%, while the other gate couldn't lock/open) - there isn't enough. Kitchen facilities were not tidy. On day 3 we requested to move to a bigger place - I paid the adjustment payment immediately and reported that the stove was there but no gas cylinder - we received the gas cylinder on day 5. We were six guests for the weekend with cutlery for 4 people. The lounge was not open for our use all the time. It is not practical to call the caretaker every time you leave the place and ask to open and close the gate.

Not satisfactory.

The room was not clean, the toilet had big cockroaches, and the bad smell in the bathroom made it impossible to take a shower. The descriptions of rooms on the site were misleading. We booked 2 rooms with 3 beds each for 1 night, yet we only used 1 room because 1 was sufficient for the 4 of us. The TV was not working. There was no mention of WiFi.

Shower pressure not good

I was impressed with the hospitality of the staff, especially Ashley! Very friendly and efficient. I do however feel, that work could be done on the shower pressure and also provide an emergency light for the visitors, during the loadshedding period. Other than that, I will come again!

Sal weer bespreek as die extractor fan nie weer so raas nie.

Positief: Ons het op kort kennisgewing bespreek en na-ure arriveer, en die mense van Saldanha Bay Inn was gaaf en tegemoetkomend in hierdie opsig. Die kamer was skoon en netjies en het alle nodige geriewe gehad, insluitend yskas, mikrogolfoond, TV, WiFi, klerekas, handdoeke en ketel met koffie. Twee van die driekwartbeddens is bymekaar gestoot met 'n vere-duvet bo-oor om 'n groter bed te vorm en ons het baie lekker geslaap. Negatief: Geen asblikke in die kamer. Die muurproppe was ongemaklik geleë vir chargers om by te kom by die bedkassies, die een muurprop tussen die bed en badkamer het glad nie gewerk nie, en die grootste kopseer was die extractor fan van die badkamer wat geweldig geraas het (het geklink soos iemand wat kettingsaag in die stort) as mens die lig aangesit het. Ons het met selfoonflitse as beligting gestort want die geraas was ondraaglik (veral as mens 'n kind het wat ook in die kamer slaap).

Translate to English.

Will book again if the extractor fan is not so noisy again.

Positive: We booked on short notice and arrived after hours, and the people at Saldanha Bay Inn were nice and accommodating in this regard. The room was clean and tidy and had all necessary facilities including fridge, microwave oven, TV, WiFi, wardrobe, towels and kettle with coffee. Two of the three quarter beds were pushed together with a feather duvet on top to form a larger bed and we slept very well. Negative: No trash cans in the room. The wall plugs were awkwardly located for chargers to get to the bedside tables, the one wall plug between the bed and the bathroom didn't work at all, and the biggest headache was the extractor fan in the bathroom which made a lot of noise (sounded like someone who chainsaw in the shower) if one turned on the light. We showered with cell phone flashlights as lighting because the noise was unbearable (especially if you have a child who also sleeps in the room).

Kuier was egter baie nice.

Dit was vir my 'n plesier gewees om daar te bly, maar net een iets wat my net gekommer het is dat die foto's wat adverteer word is nie soos die plek gelyk het nie. Adverteer asb. regte fotos van plekke. Ek dink wel dit was die ander gastehuis se foto's wat adverteer was. Andersin was dit vir my 'n groot plesier om daar in te klok. Volgende jaar vir seker weer daar, maar asb. dan wil ek by die ander een bly wat so mooi adverteer word.

It was a pleasure for me to stay there, but only one thing that just worried me is that the pictures that are advertised are not what the place looked like. Please advertise. real photos of places. I do think it was the other guest house's photos that were advertising. Otherwise, it was a great pleasure for me to clock in there. Next year for sure there again, but please. then I want to stay with the other one that is so well advertised.

It was okay. The apartment was clean and acceptable.

Parking was a nightmare. We didn't have a remote for the gate, and had to call every time we drove. Also not enough parking space. Also false advertisement as they advertised a pool on the premises. There was none. We will not go back there again.

What can I say, stayed in unit 7.

Water pressure of the shower was bad, once one of the other units showered the pressure dropped in our room. Tiles of the shower floor was sharp and hurt my feet. Cockroaches in the unit, household cockroaches and not drain cockroaches. Parking was a nightmare on the premises when all units are booked out. I was woken up after 5am to move my vehicle so that people checking out could leave. One gate on the premises had to be operated manually, push open and closed to leave the premises. Otherwise the staff was friendly, efficient and helpful.

Convenient.

We were there for a Judo tournament as was located conveniently close to the venue. The accommodation was clean and the attendant Brad who was there during our stay was very friendly. The shower head was not very good and whistled and sputtered. There was coffee and tea in the room but no cups. But there was a kitchen we were allowed to use. There was no paper bin in the room only a very small one in the bathroom for sanitary towels.

Never again!

Chaotic, manager does not answer phone, not even the upgrade will convince me to stay will this place again! Staff treated like crap. Some visitors played loud music in the morning when we checked out, the one chap got very cocky when I took him on about the loud music! The manager is nowhere to deal with queries, poor staff need to deal with all the issues!

Only stayed over one night. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Room was clean.

Constructive criticism. It will help if the guest house's name is displayed on the 2 outer walls of the corner yard and notice for guests indicating contact numbers of the staff on duty at the guest house, and/or intercom to be able to contact the person on duty when a new guest arrives at the guest house. We arrived late due to circumstances and I informed the owner/manager beforehand. When we finally arrived we weren't sure if it was the guest house, no notices on the outside walls, even though our GPS took us to the right destination. We also struggled to get someone's attention inside the guest house, after I tried calling the contact numbers available to me and there was no answer? Parking was also a bit of a frustration with the layout of the parking area and no allocated parking spaces. The faucet at the hand sink was loose (Room 2). I suggest having someone go through the units more often to make sure everything is in proper working order. Apart from the little inconvenience, our stay was very pleasant and the staff were very friendly. The location of the guest house is quite central if you would use it as a base for day trips in the West Coast area.

Was very disappointed by the fact that there were no fans. Especially considering the weekend's weather. Also got a surprise in the bathroom.

The cleaning lady that works at the premises is very friendly, and helped us out with requests to the best of her ability. We got a surprise in the bathroom. When we switched on the vents in the bathroom there were huge cockroaches in the shower.

I would not recommend this place for a family, first time booking through website and got the worst experience in accommodation.

The place was absolutely dirty and infested with spiders among other crawling creatures due to the lack of cleanliness. My son got bitten all over. This place is suitable for backpackers or single people, not family-friendly and its something they should state clearly. I don't think they have much customer care experience, because the services were very poor thou the cleaners on site tried their best, this place is very untidy, very dirty not cleaned thoroughly and the management was never available to assist, we had no option but to compete our stay due to the extra we paid, we didn't even spend our days there we left every morning and returned late at night to sleep.

Disappointing and disgusting.

The place smelled, and there were no chairs for us to sit on or a proper stove to cook. Just a 2 plate stove with no oven. We booked and paid for 4 adults, but had utensils for 2 people. There was no running water in the kitchen and we had to collect water from a filthy, stinking bathroom. The helper could only speak Afrikaans, in 2022. We couldn't wait to check out. We left without bathing. There are no words to describe this horror of a place.

Glad nie soos fotos nie.

Daar is geen foto's van buite af nie, vir 'n goeie rede. Het nie jou eie hek remote nie, mens moet bel elke keer. Die motors parkeer almal mekaar vas (geen spasie nie) ruimte in kamers is klein ens.

There are no exterior photos, for good reason. Don't have your own gate remote, you have to call every time. The cars all park close to each other (no space) space in rooms is small etc.

Maar hulle sal moet aandag gee aan paar goed soos hulle TV en WiFi-opvangs, want niemand kan sonder TV sit in 'n huis nie.

Verder was als oriaat gewees, sal weer gaan maar hulle moet kyk na goed wat ek genoem het en hulle moet besem en mop in kamer los. Maar verder was dit lekker gewees.

But they will have to pay attention to some things like their TV and WiFi reception, because no one can sit in a house without a TV.

Hulle moet meer openlik wees en gaste behoorlik inlig.

Ek was aanvanklik meegedeel dat ek opgegradeer is na die Lodge in Saldanha. Tot my ontsteltenis moes ek ontdek dat die Lodge nog onder konstruksie is waarvan ek nie meegedeel was. Ek het 'n limping leg en moes verskeie stelle trappe loop tot hewige ongemak. Ek was ook nie bewus dat dit gedeelde / ope fasiliteite was nie en moes 'n kombuis met ander gaste deel. Dit was veronderstel was 'n wegbreeknaweek alleen met my vrou te wees vir ons huweliksherdenking.

They should be more open and properly inform guests.

I was initially told that I had been upgraded to the Lodge in Saldanha. To my dismay, I had to discover that the Lodge was still under construction, which I had not been informed of. I have a limping leg and had to walk several sets of stairs to severe discomfort. I was also not aware that these were shared / open facilities and had to share a kitchen with other guests. It was supposed to be a getaway weekend alone with my wife for our wedding anniversary.

Ek het gladnie veilig gevoel nie.

Sal nie weer daar oornag of vir vriende aanbeveel nie. Daar was meer mense in die kamer langsaan as wat daar beddens was. Die harde gesels en kuier was baie onaangenaam en laat aangehou en halfses weer hervat. Die lakens op die bed was stukkend en in die nag verder geskeur - baie foos. Die lampe langs die bed was los en krag toevloei was gedurig onderbreek so ek dink daars fout met die plugs. Die badkamer deur kon nie heeltemal toe maak nie. Die beddens daarenteen was baie ferm en alles was skoon en stort baie lekker en sterk. Ons het net 'n oornag plek gesoek en dink dit was waarde vir geld maar met 'n bietjie moeite kan hulle dit meer aanbeveelbaar maak.

I didn't feel safe at all.

Will not stay there again or recommend to friends. There were more people in the next room than there were beds. The loud talking and visiting was very unpleasant and continued late and resumed again at half past six. The sheets on the bed were torn and further torn during the night - very noisy. The lamps next to the bed were loose and the power supply was constantly interrupted so I think there is something wrong with the plugs. The bathroom door could not close completely. The beds on the other hand were very firm and everything was clean and the shower was very nice and strong. We were just looking for an overnight place and thought it was value for money but with a little effort they could make it more recommendable.

We felt at home! We could even engage and chat with our neighbours in complex above us. Friendly staff made us feel welcome too.

Besides the confusion of Saldanah Bay Inn and the Lodge, we have no complaints. We understood that it was a project under construction/renovation, so we were patient with some challenges. It includes the toilet door that cannot close, drip of the geyser in toilet and the loose soil causing dust on clothing/washing when vehicles drive in or out of yard. Lastly, we enjoyed meeting the owners and chat with brother Eddie was welcome.

Room looked different as advertised.

First the room looked different as advertised on the website. The bed and pillows was the only thing that I liked about our say at the Inn. The host wasn't very friendly. The hot water was a bit of a frustration as we had to take cold showers more than once. Also our first night was weird as it sounded like people screaming in one of the other rooms.

Dit was glad nie wat ek verwag het nie, en sal nooit weer daar kan gaan bly nie.

Dit was glad nie wat ek verwag het nie. Hulle sal hulle eenhede moet beter adverteer sodat 'n mense presies weet wat om te ontvang. Dis baie misleidend. Parkering ook 'n groot probleem want dit is baie beperk. Die staff met die eienaar is baie onprofessioneel. Indien ek die eerste dag op my aankoms 'n ander plek kon kry, sou ek onmiddellik uitgegaan het. Ek het die laaste drie aande nie daar geslaap nie en het dus my geld verloor. Dis beslis nie waarde vir jou geld nie.

It was not at all what I expected, and will never be able to stay there again.

It was not at all what I expected. They will have to advertise their units better so that people know exactly what to receive. It's very misleading. Parking also a big problem because it is very limited. The staff with the owner are very unprofessional. If I could have found another place on the first day of my arrival, I would have gone out immediately. I did not sleep there for the last three nights and therefore lost my money. It's definitely not value for money.

Het geweier om in die plek te bly en verloor deposito van R7000. Sal dit nooit aanbeveel nie!

Was baie teleurgesteld aangesien die foto's geplaas, misleidend was. Die plek herinner aan 'n backpackers. Het deposito betaal wat ons verloor het aangesien ons nie kans gesien het om in die plek te bly nie. Ons moes inderhaas ander verblyf kry. By aankoms was die verwer nog besig om te verf en sementsakke en leë blikke verf het rondgelê. Die een bed in die "domitory" was nie opgemaak nie. Daar is beslis nie parkering beskikbaar as al die kamers vol is nie.

Refused to stay in the place and lost the R7000 deposit. Will never recommend it!

Was disappointed because the photos are misleading. The place reminds of a backpackers. Paid the deposit which we lost because we couldn't face staying there. We had to find alternative accommodation in a rush. On arrival the painter was still busy painting and cement bags and empty paint tins were still lying around. The one bed in the dormitory wasn't made. There is definitely not enough parking if all of the rooms are full.

The house is not marked as Saldanha Bay Lodge.

Not easy to know if this was the right place. Staff (Simba) was very helpful and friendly.

Manager knows what she is doing. Going the extra mile!

We enjoyed a pleasant stay. Sufficient space to keep our 1 year old occupied. Very comfortable and the lawn was a bonus for the little one. Value for money!

Dis 'n veilige omgewing maar daar is ruimte vir verbetering.

Soos genoem is daar plek vir verbetering. Die gordyne is bietjie dun, veral in die oggend vir die skerp sonlig teen sonopkoms. Die bank in die leefvertrek moet vervang word en gordyntjies is nodig vir die kombuis. Die stort in die hoofslaapkamer moet na gekyk word en 'n skerm is nodig om morsery te voorkom. Die deur onder by die trap, wat lei na die boonste woonstel kort dringend 'n slot.

It's a safe environment, but there is room for improvement.

As mentioned, there is room for improvement. The curtains are a bit thin, especially in the morning with the sharp sun filtering through. The sofa in the living room has to be replaced and curtains are needed in the kitchen. The shower in the main bedroom needs some attention and a some kind of screen needs to be installed to avoid spillage. The door at the bottom of the stairs, which leads to the upper apartment, urgently needs a lock.

The description and location are misleading.

The lodge was clean with good service. We are unhappy because it is far from the sea with no view, and difficult parking. The description on LekkeSlaap was misleading and if I had known the truth, I would not have booked there. The holiday was a bit of a disaster.

Die plek sien my definitief nooit weer nie.

Die badkamer (of sal ek eerder sê die toilet) het geen deur gehad nie. Die stort was binne die slaapkamer sonder deure. Ons is geskuif na 'n kamer met enkelbeddens. Die badkamer het nie eens handdoekrelings gehad nie, so ek praat nie eens van handdoeke nie. Daar was 'n gemeenskaplike kombuis en eetsaal wat die hele naweek beset was deur dronk gaste wat die hele tyd daar gesit en drink het.

The place definitely never sees me again.

The bathroom (or should I say the toilet) had no door. The shower was inside the bedroom without doors. We were moved to a room with single beds. The bathroom didn't even have towel rails, so I'm not even talking about towels. There was a common kitchen and dining room that was occupied all weekend by drunk guests who sat there drinking the whole time.

Naam moet verander word na (skaars) basiese oornagplek.

Die 'Lodge' bied net/skaars basiese geriewe, d.w.s. bed en stort. Daar word nie ontbyt, handdoeke, ketel, stortmattjie, -gordyn of plat laken voorsien nie. Dit is ook 'n vreemde opset met 'n buitelander en 'n verdagte hond wat as opsigter daar optree, geen naambord en vreeslike groot staalhekke. Daar is nie genoeg parkering vir die gaste nie en as mense 2/3 uur in die oggend daar aankom word almal wakker van die geraas. Dit is seker nie te slegte waarde vir geld gegewe die seisoen, maar dit moet meer duidelik in hul advertensie op hierdie blad gemaak word oor wat werklik gebied word.

Name should be changed to (barely) basic lodging.

The 'Lodge' offers only/barely basic amenities, ie. bed and shower. Breakfast, towels, kettle, shower mat, curtain or flat sheet are not provided. It's also a strange set-up with a foreigner and a suspicious dog acting as a caretaker there, no nameplate and terribly large steel gates. There is not enough parking for the guests and when people arrive at 2/3 o'clock in the morning everyone wakes up from the noise. It's probably not too bad value for money given the season, but it should be made more clear in their advertisement on this page about what is actually on offer.
