Die ontvangs was baie vriendelik en verwelkomend. Verblyf was baie lekker.

Die akkommodasie is in die hoofstraat dus binne loopafstand van winkels en restaurante.

Die kuier was lekker, maar beknop vir 4 volwassenes. Ma en pa en 2 middel twintigjariges.

Dit was heerlik, net nie so skoon nie en is voel soos sardientjies ingeprop langs bure, geen privaatheid.

The visit was nice, but cramped for 4 adults. Mom and dad and 2 mid twenties.

It was lovely, just not that clean and felt like sardines crammed in next to neighbours, no privacy.

Was ongelooflik lekker, met die heerlikste ontbyt en mees behulpsame personeel.

Die mense gaan uit hulle pad om behulpsaam te wees en die ligging was ook goed. Die swembad was elke dag skoon en die gaste het almal lekker saamgewerk. Heerlik gekuier.

Teleurstellend.

Die eenheid is aansienlik kleiner as op die foto's. Daar is geen privaatheid op jou stoep nie. Die buurman se parkering of motor is op jou stoep en jou braaier is teen sy motor en stoep. Kamers is donker met amper geen natuurlik lig nie. Daar is slegs WiFi by die swembad. Sal werk vir een aand oorslaap. Maar nie vir meer as een aand nie, en ook nie saam kinders wat nie heeldag kan binne wees nie. Aircon is by die kombuis, en beddens aan die ander kant van die oopplan vertrek, voel absoluut niks nie. Ons moes het ander verblyf gesoek, en kon glad nie ons deposito terug kry nie. Sal dit nooit oorleef om 10 dae te bly met so min spasie nie. Ook slegs 1 braaiplek by die swembad, spasie maar beknop is as daar baie mense in die oord is.

Disappointing.

The unit is significantly smaller than in the photos. There is no privacy on your porch. The neighbour's parking or car is on your stoep and your braai is against his car and stoep. Rooms are dark with almost no natural light. There is only WiFi at the pool. Will sleep over for one night. But not for more than one evening, and not with children who can't be inside all day. Aircon is at the kitchen, and beds on the other side of the open plan leave, feel absolutely nothing. We had to look for other accommodation, and could not get our deposit back at all. Would never survive staying 10 days with so little space. Also only 1 braai place by the pool, space is tight if there are many people in the resort.

Netjies, rustig en veilig.

Die lodge is geleë in die middle van die pragtige dorpie. Dit is veilig en het al die nodige geriewe. Die swembad is groot en goed versorg en daar is ’n pooltafel. Die eenheid waarin ons gebly het was perfek vir ons twee. Daar is ’n TV, al het ons nie gekyk nie. Daar is ’n groot stort, ’n toilet en ’n ketel met koffie, suiker en poeiermelk. Daar is kaste vir jou klere en skoonmaakdienste elke dag. Daar is lugversorging wat beslis nodig is vir die somer. Die mense wat daar werk is baie behulpsaam en vriendelik en het die ekstra myl gegaan om seker te maak dat ons ons kuier daar geniet.

Neat, quiet and safe.

The lodge is located in the middle of the beautiful village. It is safe and has all the necessary facilities. The swimming pool is large and well maintained and there is a pool table. The unit we stayed in was perfect for the two of us. There is a TV, although we didn't watch it. There is a large shower, a toilet and a kettle with coffee, sugar and powdered milk. There are lockers for your clothes and cleaning services every day. There is air conditioning which is definitely needed for the summer. The people who work there are very helpful and friendly and went the extra mile to make sure we enjoyed our stay there.

Not really impressed.

I have travelled extensively both in SA and abroad and I must be honest, I was a little disappointed. This is definitely not a 4 star, but rather a 3 star and we booked the luxury apartment. One toilet for a 6 sleeper is unsatisfactory. No bath, however 2 showers. Dirty dishes left in oven prior to our arrival. Fridge, totally frosted up, so I had to defrost it, in order for it to work. Main bedroom aircon didn't work, but was repaired quickly. General cleanliness and conditions definitely didn't match any 4 star I have stayed in. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Parking for a SUV extremely tight which takes up half your patio or you block the driveway.

Die lodge is baie rustig en ons het lekker gerus.

Ek sal graag net 'n bietjie meer verskeidenheid by die ontbyt wou sien en nie dieselfde elke dag nie. Verder het ons baie lekker gebly en die plek was netjies en hulle dienste was goed. Die lodge is sentraal geleë en mens kon sommer loop as as mens iets benodig in die dorp.

The lodge is very peaceful and we had a good rest.

I would like to see just a little more variety at breakfast and not the same every day. Furthermore, we had a very nice stay and the place was neat and their services were good. The lodge is centrally located and one could simply walk if one needed anything in town.

Ietwat van 'n teleurstelling.

Verblyf was nie onaangenaam nie, maar beslis nie gelyk aan 4 ster-gradering nie. Daar was n baie onaangename toilet-ruik in een kamer. Die yskas is opgeroes en maak nie koud nie en was vuil binne. Handdoeke was eens op 'n tyd navy maar is nou dun en uitgewas en 'n vreemde grys-vaal kleur met 'n snaakse ruik as dit nat word. Baie nader aan 'n 2 ster-ervaring.

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

Somewhat of a disappointment.

Stay was not unpleasant but certainly not equal to 4 star rating. There was a very unpleasant toilet smell in one room. The fridge is rusted and does not cool and was dirty inside. Towels were once navy but are now thin and washed out and a strange greyish-dull color with a funny smell when wet. Much closer to a 2 star experience.

Sal nie weer by Safari Lodge bespreek nie.

Eenhede is skoon, maar baie verniel en afgeskeep. Stoof werk nie behoorlik nie, WiFi was nie beskikbaar nie. Parkering is nie veilig agter toe hekke nie. Beddens is baie ongemaklik. Die enigste positief was die heerlike blou swembad.
