We had a wonderful time at the Transkaroo Lodge.

The Transkaroo Lodge is a true gem in the vast Karoo landscape and offers the perfect halfway stay between Gauteng and the Cape.

Dit was 'n heerlike oorbly en nog beter omdat ons die Springbokke se wen kon kyk.

Ons bly altyd lekker by die Transkaroo Country Lodge. Dis goed geleë, stil, netjies, veilig en heerlik om die ‘ouwêreldse glans te geniet. Wat dit nog beter maak, is die lekker restaurant op die grondvloer met die heerlikste huiskos. Boonop is die personeel ook vriendelik en behulpsaam. Oornag by die TCL maak die pad huistoe sommer korter! Baie dankie weereens vir 'n lekker oorbly.

It was a lovely stay and even better because we could watch the Springboks win.

We always have a great stay at the Transkaroo Country Lodge. It's well located, quiet, tidy, safe and wonderful to enjoy the 'old world glamour'. What makes it even better is the nice restaurant on the ground floor with the most delicious home cooking. In addition, the staff is also friendly and helpful. Overnight at the TCL makes the way home shorter! Thank you again for a nice stay.

Die oorbly was lekker en het die ete by die restaurant baie geniet.

Dit bied uitstekende waarde vir geld. Ons het lekker geslaap in skoon geriewe. Alhoewel die verkeer deur die dorp in die aand gehoor kan word, maak die lekker hoë kwaliteit bed daarvoor op.

Fantastiese oornagplek.

Wat 'n juweel! Voel asof jy in die middel van Parys, Frankryk is. Die kamers is skoon en netjies, die buitehof is die wonderlikste plek om in te ontspan na 'n lang reis. Die buffetete is uit die boonste rakke en die ontbyt is heerlik. 'n Fantastiese oornagplek oppad na die noorde.

Hoogs aanbeveelbaar! Netjies, pragtig en veilig met puik diens.

Transkaroo Country Lodge is ‘n klein oase in die andersins vervalle dorpie van Britstown. Dit was vir ons die ideale oorblyplek aangesien dit presies halfpad tussen die Kaapse Weskus en ons huis in Pretoria was. Ons het heerlik by die pragtige swembad area ontspan. Die décor is smaakvol en dit het amper gevoel asof ons êrens in ‘n villa in Frankryk kuier. Die diens was baie vriendelik en uit die boonste rakke. Die eienaar het persoonlik kom inloer toe ons ‘n probleem met die TV en WiFi aangemeld het. Die veilige parkering het ons rustig laat slaap. Ek het reeds die lodge aan vriende aanbeveel wat binnekort daai roete ry en ons sal beslis ook weer daar draai wanneer ons in daai rigting gaan. 10/10, baie dankie.

Highly recommendable! Neat, beautiful and safe with great service.

Transkaroo Country Lodge is a small oasis in the otherwise run-down town of Britstown. It was the ideal place for us to stay as it was exactly halfway between the Cape West Coast and our home in Pretoria. We had a great time relaxing at the beautiful pool area. The decor is tasteful and it almost felt as if we were visiting somewhere in a villa in France. The service was very friendly and top notch. The owner came to check in personally when we reported a problem with the TV and WiFi. The secure parking allowed us to sleep peacefully. I have already recommended the lodge to friends who will soon be driving that route and we will definitely stop there again when we go in that direction. 10/10, thank you very much.

A good overnight stop in a friendly hotel-like atmosphere.

The room was neat and clean, but comfort-wise needed some attention to detail. There were 3 beds in a small room for two people, but only one small unstable chair, one drinking glass, and no water jug. No hand towels or shower mat or towel rails in the very cramped bathroom. There are over 20 other rooms (mostly unoccupied) and so, with a bit of planning, a 2-person room could be better appointed.

Lots of potential, currently some shortcomings.

The reception was very cordial. The dinner served was superb. Unfortunately, the air conditioner in the room did not work. The windows were opened which unfortunately let the mosquitoes in. So there was little chance for sleep. The toilet wouldn't flush and leaked. This is quite a big problem.

Voldoende.

Vir 'n vinnige iets om te eet, en 'n rustige plek vir die aand is dit voldoende. Baie vriendelike staf en baie behulpsaam. Houtvloere maak sekerlik nie altyd maklik nie, dit maak vreeslik geraas. Ons moes self al die sitareas en gange se ligte aanskakel toe ons arriveer. Die atmosfeer was bietjie koud op die boonste verdieping en in die kamer. Die restaurant is pragtig en die kos is heerlik.

Sufficient.

For a quick something to eat, and a quiet place for the evening it is sufficient. Very friendly staff and very helpful. Wooden floors are certainly not always easy, they make a lot of noise. We had to turn on all the lights in the seating areas and corridors ourselves when we arrived. The atmosphere was a bit cold on the top floor and in the room. The restaurant is beautiful and the food is delicious.

Accommodation was disappointing.

The room was neat and clean, but tiny. The shower did not work properly, and the lady at the front desk was not much help when I reported it to her. Considering what we paid for the room, we were disappointed. The restaurant was lovely though, and the food and the restaurant staff were great. If we were to be in Britstown again, I would definitely use the restaurant again, but would overnight elsewhere.

Poor!

They moved us to another room because the plumbing in the bathroom was out of order. The new room had no bathroom, and we had to share facilities with other rooms. Surely they were aware of the issue before we arrived. The room had coffee and cups, but no kettle. Really not a great experience.

Jammer Irma vir die ongerief. Ons is besig om die kwessie uit te sorteer.

Dis is 'n heerlike halfpad-oase en net die regte rusplek na 'n lang dag op die pad.

Ek vermoed ons gaan van nou af ons roete Noorde toe en terug via Britstown beplan. Transkaroo Country Lodge is skoon, netjies en mooi. Die restaurant is 'n groot verrassing en die kos is fantasties. Die personeel is vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Dit is 'n heerlike halfpad-oase en net die regte rusplek na 'n lang dag op die pad. Baie dankie.

Vriendelike diens en gemaklike kamers.

Met ons aankoms het Transkaroo Country Lodge nie ons bespreking gehad nie. Die dame by ontvangs het dadelik gehelp met 'n alternatiewe kamer. Hoewel dit nie die kamer was wat ons bespreek het nie, was dit ruim, gerieflike met 'n gemaklike bed. Diens deurgaans was vriendelik en die buffet aandete is hoogs aan beveel. Veilige parkering agter geslote hek.

Gerieflike "halfweghuis" tussen die Weskus en Gauteng.

Die kamers is klein maar gerieflik. Kamers op die eerste vloer het 'n aparte stort, terwyl kamers op die grondvloer se stort in die bad is. Die buffet aandete is besonders, jy betaal vir hoeveel jy eet. Ons stort het aan en af gewissel tussen kokend en vriesend, nie baie aangenaam.

What a pleasant stay in the middle of the Karoo.

The Transkaroo is a long-established hotel run by a committed and involved owner. All staff was friendly. The room was very clean and beautifully appointed. I would highly recommend the dinner buffet. It is home-cooked meals of the highest quality. I am looking forward to staying over in the summer as there is a beautiful pool and outside courtyard to enjoy.

Luckily stayed on ground floor - had to collect water from pool to flush toilet.

Only one major issue this time: there was no water in the town and as we understand it, this had been ongoing during the week of our arrival but we were only informed as we checked in. It's very fortunate that we had our own drinking water, but it was a most unsatisfactory situation.

Transkaroo Country Lodge 's response

Thank you for taking the time to write the review.

I apologise for the inconvenience. We also wish we knew when the water would be off as it is a big inconvenience to us and our guests.

Hope we see you again when the water situation is better.

Goeie en netjiese fasiliteite en restaurant. Geen water het ons verblyf versuur.

Van ons aankoms tot vertrek was daar geen water. Geen rugsteun water by die instansie, wel rugsteun krag met beurtkrag. Geen moeite van die instansie om water te voorsien vir toilette, ens.

Ons is jammer dat julle nie water gehad het nie, dis ongelukkig 'n dorpsprobleem. As ons nie ons spaartanks volkry nie, kan ons nie rugsteun water voorsien nie. Ons is jammer oor die ongelukkigheid en hoop om volgende keer beter te doen.

Pragtige plek. Lekker kamers. Raserige lugreëling. Moes kies tussen hitte of geraas. Het maar die hitte gekies.

Was te min staflede aan diens vir 'n propvol hotel. Het later maar gaan slaap ten spyte van die feit dat twee van ons bestellings nooit uitgevoer is na sowat 'n uur en 'n half se gewag nie.

Service was generally poor, except for Gail, one of the waitresses.

Had to ask at reception for air conditioner remote. Reluctantly received a WiFi login password. Tried about another 10 for my wife's phone, without success. Buffet dinner works by weight of total plate contents and tends be expensive. Did not bother to stay for breakfast, as staff only arrived around 07:00. Zero back up power during load shedding.

It was okay for an overnight stay on the way back home.

The personnel was friendly. The owner took a nap in the afternoon, and we had to wait for hours for the WiFi code. There was a buffet on Sunday evening, that was okay. We thought it funny that your plate with the food you had taken was put on a scale. There was a lot to choose from.

Die lodge het dringend onderhoud nodig.

Die watertoevoer is onbetroubaar, eers is daar geen water nie en dan is daar weer net warm water. Die lugversorger in ons kamer het 'n aanhoudende geraas gemaak wat dit onmoontlik gemaak het om te slaap met dit aan. Die waaiers in die sitkamer het ook nie gewerk nie.

The water supply is unreliable, first there is no water and then again there is only hot water. The air conditioner in our room made a continuous noise that made it impossible to sleep with it on. The fans in the living room didn't work either.

Beknop. Baie teleurgesteld. Definitief nie 'n boetiekhotel soos adverteer nie.

Drie beddens in gewone grootte kamer waarvan 2 dubbel en een enkel was. Badkamertoiletsitplek stukkend. Bad en stort moeilik om te gebruik, onmoontlik om krane oop te maak sonder om nat te word. Badkamer so klein dat spesiale klein deur ingesit is. Geen sitplek in kamer nie. Bedlamp het nie gewerk nie, maar is vervang. Los matte in gang wat kan maak dat mens val. Moes self tasse dra geen hulp van personeel nie. Veiligheidswag het later vir 'n fooitjie gehelp.

Concise Very disappointed. Definitely not a boutique hotel as advertised.

Three beds in normal size room of which 2 were double and one single. Bathroom toilet seat broken. Bath and shower difficult to use, impossible to open taps without getting wet. Bathroom so small that a special small door was inserted. No seat in room. Bedside lamp did not work but was replaced. Leave carpets in hallways that can cause people to fall. Had to carry bags myself no help from staff. Security guard later helped for a tip.

Baie lekker en aangenaam verras met die plek.

Vandat ons daar gearriveer het het ons welkom gevoel. Ons is vriendelik ontvang en vinnig gehelp. Na 'n lang dag op die pad. Hulle winkel het my vrou terdeë geniet en natuurlik my sak so bietjie geruk! Die kos was van die beste en veral die rump steak wat vir my voorgesit is is beslis 'n wenner, die vleis was sag en sappig en goed voorberei. Die binnehof was ons 'kuierplek' waar ons 'n koppie koffie geniet het. Ons sal beslis weer van julle dienste gebruikmaak.

The food was some of the best and especially the rump steak that was served to me was definitely a winner, the meat was tender and juicy and well prepared. The courtyard was our 'hangout' where we enjoyed a cup of coffee. We will definitely use your services again.

Ons het "net oornagverblyf" gesoek. Ons het 'n belewenis gekry. Sterk aanbeveel.

Ons was verras met die ouwêreldse sjarme van die historiese argitektuur gekombineer met smaakvolle dekor. Die buffet-aandete kan vergelyk met 'n vyfster-restaurant. Uit die boonste rakke. Personeel was deurgaans vriendelik en professioneel.

Oase, maar aandete stel teleur.

Baie verras met die lodge, midde in 'n dorp van amper niks. Uitstekende en vriendelike diens. Veilige karsekuriteit. Was net teleurgesteld deur die lamtjops met aandete. Het juis nie die buffet met lamsboud gekies nie (kon nie die buffetprys sien op die spyskaart nie - miskien misgekyk). Tjops was heeltemal oorgaar en amper hard. Nie seker hoekom hulle gevra het hoe ek dit gedoen wil hê nie, want tjops was so dun hulle kon dit ge-flash fry het om dit medium te kry. Kwaliteit ook nie wonderlik nie. Laat 'n mens wonder oor al die fantastiese Karoolamstories. Diens ook aan die stadige kant by aandete. Nie seker wat gebeur as daar meer as daar meer as 7 mense is nie. Maar andersins was almal super vriendelik. En 'n skoon swembad sou lekker gewees het.

Oasis, but dinner is disappointing.

Very surprised with the lodge, in the middle of a town of almost nothing. Excellent and friendly service. Safe car security. Was only disappointed by the lamb chops with dinner. Didn't choose the buffet with leg of lamb (couldn't see the buffet price on the menu - maybe overlooked). Chops were completely overcooked and almost hard. Not sure why they asked how I wanted it done as chops were so thin they could have flash fried them to get them medium. Quality not great either. Makes one wonder about all the fantastic Karoolam stories. Also serve on the slow side at dinner. Not sure what happens if there are more than 7 people. But otherwise everyone was super friendly. And a clean pool would have been nice.

Het op pad huis toe daar oorgeslaap. Die kamers is nou nie uitstaande nie, maar skoon en genoegsaam met aircon. Die hotel self is beeldskoon en die swembad en eetruimte wonderlik en pragtig.

Heerlike oase in die middel van die Karoo.

Pragtige dekor, detail en heerlike kos. Vriendelike diens. Sou net graag 'n klein yskassie wou hé vir die kruideniersware en vleis wat ons saamgevat het omdat ons lang pad halfpad hier gestop het en lang tyd met vakansie weg was van die huis.

Lovely oasis in the middle of the Karoo.

Beautiful decor, detail and delicious food. Friendly service. Would have liked to have a small fridge for the groceries and meat that we took with us because we stopped here halfway on a long road and were away from home for a long time on vacation.

Net oorgeslaap vanaf Pretoria tot Plett, veilige parkering met 'n wag, kos was lekker, kinders het die swem geniet. Bring eie koeldranke, hulle s'n is belaglik duur. Maar verder was als reg vir 'n oorslaap.

Veilige parkering, met 'n wag. Skoon, en lyk soos foto's. Lekker kos. Baie duur koeldrank, drink eerder 'n milkshake.

Just stayed overnight from Pretoria to Plett, safe parking with a guard, food was good, children enjoyed the swimming. Bring your own soft drinks, theirs are ridiculously expensive. But otherwise everything was ready for an overnight stay.

Secure parking, with a guard. Clean, and looks like photos. Nice food. Very expensive soft drink, drink a milkshake instead.

Kort maar lekker.

Die ontvangs hier was bietjie stomp - die dame by die ontvangs was vir my bietjie nors en krotaf. Verder was die diens uitstekend en ons het goed geëet en 'n goeie nagrus gehad. Baie goeie opsie vir oornag slaapplek. Ek sal weer.

Die personeel is baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig en kamer is netjies en gerieflik. Baie lekker oornag plek op pad Kaap toe of terug.

Akkommodasie is baie goed maar die buffet ete voel vir my is nie die waarde vir geld nie, daar is nie vir ons verduidelik hoe dit werk nie en nadat ons ingeskep het, is ons borde geweeg en was die prys R330,00 p/kg, waarvan die bord se gewig ook ingereken word.

An oasis awaits you.

Taken by surprise by the warm hospitality, cleanliness and friendly, helpful staff. Our room was comfy and met our standard of needs. The self selected food was a typical 'Karoo bordkos' which we have craved for after a week of boring hotel food. Bonus, your car is safely parked in a lock up area. In general we have no complaints of any sort and you will seldom find this standard of quality anywhere else in a small "dorp" like this. Thank you.

Dit vergelyk met enige R650 gastehuis. Sommige goedkoper plekke nog beter.

Die kamer is ordinêr, verwag darem wynglase ook, nie slegs twee sakkies koffie en tee nie. Plastiese teelepels is sekerlik nie vir hierdie prysklas plek nie. Moes vra vir die lugreëlaar se remote. Die parkering is nou wel baie veilig, maar is nie maklik toegangbaar nie. Om elke keer iemand te vra om vir jou oop te sluit en 75/100 meter buite in die straat af te stap om toegang te kry? Daar is ook geen voorsiening gemaak vir beurtkrag nie. Alles pikgietswart toe ons 06:00 wou vertrek. Die ete was baie lekker, maar totaal oordoen asook hopeloos te duur. Betaling is per gewig en jy vind eers uit wat dit kos nadat jy klaar ingeskep het en jou bord word geweeg. Ek het nie rojaal geskep nie en my bordkos was R250.00 (wederhelf R230.00).

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

This compares to any R650 guest house. Some cheaper places even better.

The room is ordinary, at least expect wine glasses too, not just two bags of coffee and tea. Plastic teaspoons are certainly out of place for this price range. Had to ask for the air conditioner remote. The parking is now very secure, but is not easily accessible. Having to ask someone to unlock for you every time and walk 75/100 meters outside in the street to gain access? There is also no provision made for load shedding. Everything was pitch black when we wanted to leave at 06:00. The meal was very nice, but totally overdone and hopelessly overpriced. Payment is by weight and you only find out what it costs after you've finished loading and your plate is weighed. I did not create generously and my plate food was R250.00 (other half R230.00).

The place was neat, however the bathroom in room 4 needs maintenance.

The toilet is not secured and leans forward when in use. The basin is also not secured and also moves a bit when you use it for support. The wooden flooring is loose despite being covered by a carpet. Floor panel noisy when one tramps on loose boards.

Alhoewel netjies, was die dame by ontvangs nie baie gasvry nie. Die krag was vir die hele aand af met geen voorsiening (bv. Kragopwekkers, ens nie). Alle garages was vol, so ons moes buite op straat parkeer.

Restaurant en bar gans en al te duur. Goeie sekuriteit en diens. Badkamers het aandag nodig.

R175 vir 6 x 25ml glase OBS. Restaurant buffet weeg hulle jou kos per bord. Een bord was R182 vir 'n normale grote maal en ander R252. Sjoe! R55 ekstra vir klein sny Lemon Meringue. Toiletbak is los op vloer. Beweeg as jy gaan sit, handvatsel verkeerd om en bad/stortpyp lek.

Baie mooi perseel met goeie fasiliteite, maar word baie swak bestuur.

Bly maar weg van restaurant en belaglike pryse in die winkel vir items wat ten minste 'n kwart van die prys moet wees. Kamers was mooi, maar geen plan vir loadshedding nie en muskiete het ons weggedra, definitief nie 'n plek wat ek sal aanbeveel vir ander nie.

Nagmerrie ondervinding.

Ek het nie woorde nie. Bad/stort het nie gordyn - vloer is papnat. Deur van die badkamer is so nou ons moes sideways deur en daar is geen venster nie. En, nee, ons is nie oorgewig nie. Cheese en tomato-broodjie met chips is R109. Die filet-steak (R199) was soos rubber. Die mense het partytjie gehou in die binnehof en was so dronk en raserig dat geeneen kon slaap nie. Eienares het geen ag geslaan daarop nie. Geen voorsiening vir krag tydens loadshedding. Geen remote vir die aircon. Ons was vasgeparkeer en kon nie ry soos besplan nie. Eienares voel vere aangesien sy besig is om die hotel te verkoop. Ry verby is al raad wat ek het.

Nightmare experience.

I do not have words. Bath/shower has no curtain - floor is soaking wet. Door of the bathroom is so now we had to go sideways and there is no window. And, no, we are not overweight. Cheese and tomato sandwich with chips is R109. The fillet steak (R199) was like rubber. The people were partying in the courtyard and were so drunk and noisy that no one could sleep. Landlady paid no heed to it. No provision for power during loadshedding. No remote for the aircon. We were parked and could not drive as planned. Proprietor feels feathers as she is in the process of selling the hotel. Driving past is all the advice I have.

Was aangenaam verras en sal weer soontoe gaan.

Die eienaars doen moeite om die lodge gerieflik en mooi te maak. Die spyskaart word met aandag opgestel en ons het lekker geëet. Net een ontbytgereg wat ons gekies het was baie olierig, maar met die volgende keer se oorslaap het ons 'n ander keuse gemaak en heerlik geëet. Die personeel ken hul verpligtinge en is vriendelik en behulpsaam. Kan hulle met vrymoedigheid aanbeveel!

Oasis in a desert.

Britstown is a dusty depressing town that looks as though it has been forgotten by time. So it was a wonderful surprise to find the Transkaroo Country Lodge to stay in. It was bright and warm, the meals were good, and the staff were lovely. It is the only place for miles around, both for meals and for accommodation. A great overnight stop. A real oasis in a desert!

Ons was baie verbaas oor standaard en gasvryheid van die lodge.

Ons was baie beïndruk met ons netjiese, ruim kamer en badkamer met 'n bad en stort. Die aandete het ons verras dit was uit die boek. Die personeel is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Mens kan aan die hele Lodge sien dat die eienaarres betrokke is en haar hand op alles hou.

Bevredigend.

Eerstens was daar net koffie vir eenmaal se gebruik, gastehuise voorsien as 'n reël koffie of tee om twee-maal te maak. Ontbyt word volgens die ontvangsdame vanaf 7 uur bedien, maar personeel kom eers 7 uur aandiens wat dit dus onmoontlik maak om voedsel voor te berei en gereed te hê om gaste om 7 uur te bedien. Aandete was uitstekend.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Satisfactory.

Firstly, there was only coffee for one time use, guesthouses provided as a rule coffee or tea to make two meals. According to the receptionist, breakfast is served from 7 o'clock, but staff do not come on duty until 7 o'clock, which therefore makes it impossible to prepare food and have it ready to serve guests at 7 o'clock. Dinner was excellent.

Ontvangs was nie baie behulpsaam nie, onvriendelik, geen rus gekry nie. Kos is buitensporig duur.

Ontvangsdame was onvriendelik en min behulpsaam, kon geen rus kry as gevolg van kamer wat op die pad sit en verkeer wat heelnag geraas het en mense wat in straat raas. Kos en drinkgoed is buitensporig duur. Kos word geweeg per bord dus beteken dit dat jy tot en met R300 en meer vir 'n bord kos betaal as jy ordentlik wil eet. Diens was swak, het net een toiletrol gekry vir 4 mense. En beddegoed het kolle op gehad en geen kussingslope gehad vir van die kussings. Ons was vas parkeer en kon nie vroeër ry nie, moes wag dat die ander kliënte eers wakker word om hul voertuig te kon skuif. Toilet het ook 'n lek gehad.

Reception was not very helpful, unfriendly, got no rest. Food is prohibitively expensive.

Reception lady was unfriendly and unhelpful, couldn't get any rest due to room sitting on the road and traffic noise all night and people noise in the street. Food and drinks are exorbitantly expensive. Food is weighed per plate so this means that you pay up to and including R300 and more for a plate of food if you want to eat decently. Service was poor, only got one toilet roll for 4 people. And bedding had stains on it and no pillowcases for some of the pillows. We were stuck parked and couldn't drive earlier, had to wait for the other customers to wake up to be able to move their vehicle. Toilet also had a leak.

Nooit weer!

Ons het geboek deur die webtuiste. Die foto's is erg misleidend. As jy na die foto's kyk verwag mens van die beste. Dis als ‘n leun. Eerste kamer toe ons daar aankom (no. 36) was vuil en sy deur kan nie sluit. Ons meld die klagte aan, word geskuif na ander kamer (no 35). Die kamer het geen koue water, slegs warm water. Die toilet is buite werking. Die aircon is stukkend. Die twee enkelbeddens wat ‘n dubbelbed moes wees, is lankal oor hulle tyd. Weereens meld ons dit aan, (3 keer). Daar word belowe hulle sal kyk daarna en ‘n plan daarrondom maak. Daar het niks van dit gekom nie. Toe ek uitcheck en weer daaroor vra, word ek net vertel dit was ‘n dol naweek. Ek sal die plek vir niemand aanbeveel om oor te slaap nie.

We booked through the website. The photos are very misleading. Looking at the photos you expect the best. It's like a lean. First room when we got there (no. 36) was dirty and its door couldn't lock. We report the complaint, are moved to another room (no 35). The room has no cold water, only hot water. The toilet is out of order. The aircon is broken. The two single beds that should have been a double bed are long past their prime. Again we report it, (3 times). It is promised that they will look into it and make a plan around it. Nothing came of it. When I checked out and asked about it again, I was only told it was a crazy weekend. I would not recommend the place to anyone to sleep over.

Sal nooit weer daar oorslaap nie.

Ontvangsdame groet nie en vra of sy kan help nie. Wil net weet of ons wil eet. Dra nie 'n masker nie. Was na 14:00 daar en kon nie bevestig of die kamer gereed is of nie. As ons wou eet moes ons dadelik bevestig voor ons eers kamer toe is al is dit vanaf die spyskaart. Kok moet blykbaar weet om voorraad te hê. Later wel gaan eet en hele dorp eet van die spyskaart af. Verstaan dus nie hoekom ons al met aankoms moes bevestig nie. Lugversorger werk nie. Rapporteer maar niks word gedoen of eers verskoning gevra nie. Een venster kon glad nie oopmaak nie. Knip is gebreek. Wasbak neem 5 min om leeg te loop. Niemand my meegedeel dat ek binne kon parkeer nie. Het in die straat parkeer. Gelukkig onder kamervenster. Net een glas in 'n dubbelkamer. Restaurantpersoneel darem vriendelik en behulpsaam. Hotelbestuurder wou egter nie skyfies ruil met groente nie en moes ekstra betaal vir groente al wou my vrou nie die skyfies hê nie.

Will never stay there again.

Receptionist does not greet and asks if she can help. Just want to know if we want to eat. Don't wear a mask. Was there after 2pm and couldn't confirm if the room is ready or not. If we wanted to eat we had to confirm immediately before we even went to the room even if it was from the menu. Apparently, cooks need to know how to stock up. Later, we go to eat and the whole town eats from the menu. So don't understand why we had to confirm on arrival. Air conditioner not working. Report but nothing is done or even apologized. One window could not open at all. Knip is broken. Sink takes 5 min to empty. No one told me that I could park inside. Parked on the street. Happy under room window. Only one glass in a double room. Restaurant staff at least friendly and helpful. However, hotel manager did not want to exchange chips with vegetables and had to pay extra for vegetables even though my wife did not want the chips.

Nooit weer nie.

Die ou hotel vertoon mooi en dit was onlangs opgegradeer. Ongelukkig was ons badkamertjie en stort vuil, die hele kamer het vuil gevoel. Vir ontbyt het ek koffie en scone bestel. Die koffie het so lank gevat, ek het begin dink dis self help eintlik, en dit was koud toe dit gebring is. My scone het 'n gogga ingebak gehad. Transkaroo moet hulle higiëne en skoonmaak opgradeer.

Never again.

The old hotel presents nicely and it was recently upgraded. Unfortunately our bathroom and shower were dirty, the whole room felt dirty. For breakfast I ordered coffee and scones. The coffee took so long, I began to think it was actually helping, and it was cold when it was brought. My scone had a bug baked into it. Transkaroo needs to upgrade their hygiene and cleaning.

It's my third time staying at Transkaroo Country Lodge. All services and facilities are excellent. The staff are professional and welcoming. The food is of a very high quality. The buffet in the evening is something I look forward to every time. Cars are safely parked at night in a secure undercover parking next to the lodge.

We stayed in this hotel in Britstown on our journey leg from Upington to Graaff-Reinet. Very friendly staff and the decoration is nice with a comfortable lounge and a spacious restaurant/shop. Room very clean and spacious. Both dinner and breakfast very good. Secure parking, the guard optionally washes your car for a small fee. After a long ride the pool in the garden is the icing on the cake!

Die kos was ongelooflik. 'n Paar goed het die verblyf bederf.

Ons rekening was verkeerd ─ die kroeg het nie hulle deel opgehad nie. Alles was betaal op die webtuiste, maar hulle het dit nie so gehad op rekening nie. Reisigers moet maar vroeg wikkel en ons het besluit ons gaan ontbyt eet sewe-uur wat nie 'n probleem is nie, want die kombuis maak sewe-uur oop. Die kombuis-personeel het eers ingekom teen half tien. Dus het ons eers teen half elfin die pad ingeval.

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

The food was amazing. A few things spoiled the stay.

Our bill was wrong ─ the bar didn't keep their share. Everything was paid for on the website, but they didn't have it on account. Travelers have to wake up early and we decided to have breakfast at seven o'clock which is not a problem because the kitchen opens at seven o'clock. The kitchen staff didn't come in until half past ten. So we didn't hit the road until half past eleven.

Die plek is egter duur teen R870 per persoon per nag. Aandete se spyskaart-items buitensporig duur wat noodsaak dat buffet-ete teen R 200 pp eerder geneem word. Wat ook te veel is. Mens kan net soveel eet! Sal eerder self braai en koelsak bring.

Skokkende kliëntediens.

Die eienares se houding na ‘n gesprek waar daar gekla is oor die gebrek aan kliëntediens aangaande voorafbetaling, was skokkend. Almal is blameer in pleks van verseker dat die probleem by Transkaroo Country Lodge reggestel word. Van die 12 bestellings vir kos, was 10 verkeerd. Het uiteindelik die hele groep geneem na Smartt Lodge vir ontbyt. Sal, na die lodge vir verskeie jare gebruik is, nooit weer terugkeer nie.

Shocking customer service.

The owner's attitude after a conversation where there was a complaint about the lack of customer service regarding advance payment was shocking. Everyone was blamed instead of ensuring that the problem at Transkaroo Country Lodge was rectified. Of the 12 orders for food, 10 were incorrect. Finally took the whole group to Smartt Lodge for breakfast. Will, after using the lodge for several years, never return.

Heerlike huis weg van die huis, al is verbeterings moontlik.

Peaceful Sleep-sproei sou handig wees in kamer eerder as die muurblokkies en Doom-insekdoder wat voorsien is. Yskas in kamer sou ook lekker wees. Restaurant en drank nie te goedkoop nie. Kan 'n wegneem-ontbytpakkie beskikbaar maak - bestel van die gewone spyskaart werk nie so goed nie . Koue ham en kaas geroosterde broodjie nie lekker as padkos! Lugverkoeler in kamer kon net aan of af wees, geen verstellings.

Lovely home away from home, although improvements are possible.

Peaceful Sleep spray would be handy in room rather than the wall pads and Doom insecticide provided. Fridge in room would be nice too. Restaurant and drinks not too cheap. Can make a takeaway breakfast pack available - ordering from the regular menu doesn't work so well. Cold ham and cheese toasted sandwich not good as road food! Air cooler in room could only be on or off, no adjustments.

Gerieflik.

Die Lodge is gemaklik geleë aan die hoofstraat. Die gebou is oud maar goed gerestoureer, wat ook daaraan 'n besondere atmosfeer verleen. Alles was netjies en skoon.

Aangenaam, wel leemtes.

Kamer was netjies en het aan verwagting voldoen, maar WiFi ondoeltreffend en gebrekkige TV was hinderlik. Op 'n dorp sonder enige afleiding, moet goeie TV-pakket as onontbeerlik beskou word.

Het regtig nie gedink 'n lodge kan so oulik wees in die middel van nêrens.

Een beetje Provence in de Karoo

Een heerlijk verblijf in een bijzonder hotel. De ambiance was zoals in de zuid Provence in Frankrijk, de kleuren, de decoraties, sfeervol. Goede keuken, prettige bediening. Kies kamer aan achterzijde in verband met verkeerslawaai. Kamer en badkamer eenvoudig maar goed. Privé parking.

Aangename ervaring met gawe mense.

Die enigste kritiek wat ek wel het teen Transkaroo, is dat hulle parkering bietjie min is. Indien die plek effens vol raak, moet voertuie noodgedwonge op straat parkeer. Ek moet wel byvoeg dat hulle uit hulle pad gaan om te verseker dat die voertuie veilig is, en die persoon aan diens vir die aand, patrolleer die straat gereeld. Was werklik 'n aangename ervaring en sou nogal daarvan gehou het om 'n paar nagte te bly. Vir diegene wat bekommerd is oor die N12 wat verby die lodge gaan, dit het ons nie een oomblik gepla nie, en ons kon nie die padverkeer hoor uit ons kamer uit nie.

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

Pleasant experience with nice people.

The only criticism I do have against Transkaroo is that their parking is a bit small. If the place gets a little full, vehicles must park on the street. I do have to add that they go out of their way to ensure that the vehicles are safe, and the person on duty for the evening patrols the street regularly. Was a truly pleasant experience and would have quite liked to stay a few nights. For those worried about the N12 passing the lodge, it didn't bother us one bit, and we couldn't hear the road traffic from our room.

Delicious food and an owner who is really interested

It feels like you don't get a personal welcome when you book through LekkerSlaap here...? I could be wrong. We will test it by booking direct next time we visit again. You look at reception so askew....? The food was delicious and the service provided by Troi was excellent. The owner knows exactly what she is doing. Staff, especially in reception, can be looked at please.

Effe teleurstellend.

Kamer, netjies en skoon. Nie beïndruk met aandete nie. Bied nie waarde nie. Geen afstandbeheer vir lugreëling beskikbaar in kamer nie (hul beleid, volgens bestuur) met 'n eenheid wat op 20 grade gestel was. Kamer te koud om te slaap en moes dus eenheid afskakel op 'n warm nag.

'Swamp in the desert'

Beautiful decor but the food and drinks are more expensive than we pay at a good restaurant in the city (Cape Town) - the location probably explains this in terms of transport costs but it was a bit excessive.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Lekker ontspan en sommer gou-gou in ons vakansie gevoel gekom met die dekor van Transkaroo Lodge. Ons sal vir seker weer gebruik maak van die lekker en mooi plekkie. Mense wat hou van wyn, dis presies waarvan julle sal hou.

Baie gerieflik, heerlike kos en vriendelike staff. Baie welkom gevoel en lekker uitgerus om pad terug weer aan te pak.

Ons as gesin is vriendelik verwelkom en onmiddelik na ons kamer geneem. Die personeel het ons rondgewys en aangebied om met bagasie te help. Ek was toegelaat om my karavaan voor die hotel te stop en daar was 'n wag gereël vir die nag, soos aangevra by bespreking. Ons het heerlik onstpan by die swembad en heerlike aandete geniet. Die atmosfeer was rustig en stemmig. Ek sou die verblyf aanbeveel. Baie dankie aan die bestuur an personeel vir die goeie diens en vriendelikheid.

Die binnehof het dit laat voel soos 'n klein Italië in die Noord-Kaap met heerlike kos.

Ons sal (en het) vriende en familie aanbeveel om die Lodge te gebruik indien hulle wil oorslaap. Dit is baie netjies, vriendelike diens en die kos was heerlik gewees. Die restaurant is ideaal na 'n lang dag op die pad en is mal daaroor dat daar buite die lekkerste sitplek is. Dit was rustig gewees met die mooiste musiek in die agtergrond. Die klein winkeltjie maak die plekkie uniek met plaaslike produkte. Baie dankie Transkaroo Country Lodge, julle sien ons vir seker weer.

Wonderlike verblyf.

Transkaroo bied 'n oase in die Karoo, die swembad en goeie lugreëling was baie welkom in die hitte. Die enigste negatiewe ding is dat daar nie ordentlike parkering is nie, karre moet op die straat stop.

Wonderful accommodation.

Transkaroo offers an oasis in the Karoo. The swimming pool and good air-conditioning was so welcome in the heat. The only negative aspect is that there wasn't any proper parking. We had to park on the street.

'n Heerlike verrassing en oase in die bloedwarm Karoo!

Ons was aangenaam verras deur die ambience van die lodge - in die middel van die Karoo. Veral heerlik was die binnehof en die mooi musiek. Die geriewe was voldoende en die sekuriteit uitstekend. Ons was besonder beïndruk deur die personeel, altyd op 'n drafstap. En dan die heerlike aandete en ontbyt was uit die boonste rakke. Baie dankie. Ons kom weer kuier.

Great halfway stop.

Everything is really special and top class (atmosphere, food and decor) but the reception and "check out" left a bad taste. I have never had such an unfriendly reception. No friendly smile or chat. The lady actually made us feel very unwelcome. It was also very difficult to carry all our bags up and down the stairs by ourselves.

Warm!

Die kamer het nie lugversorging gehad nie (ons het dit wel geweet met bespreking), maar 'n ou klein waaiertjie wat nie veel gehelp het nie. Dit was ongelooflik warm, en kon nie bottels water in die kamer hou nie want daar is nie 'n yskas in die kamer nie. Die kamer was aan die kant van die hoofpad het en dit was baie lawaai van die staat af. Ons het nie gedink so klein dorpie dra soveel swaar verkeer in die nag nie. Ons het maar min geslaap. Die restaurant was oulik en diens daar was goed en kos was smaaklik.

Transkaroo Country Lodge 's response

Die Backpackers kamers word gehou vir jong mense wat nie baie wil spandeer nie. Ons hou hulle dus so goedkoop as moontlik met net die nodigste daarin. Die tariewe daarvan is R250.00 per persoon, omdat die hotelgeriewe ook beskikbaar is. As die hotelkamers vol is, bied ons aan kliënte die keuse of hulle hierdie kamers wil gebruik.

Ons stem egter saam, dit was geweldig warm. Almal hier het maar swaar getrek!

Ons sal baie graag aan hierdie gaste ons hotelkamers wil bied met hul volgende besoek en aan hulle die ervaring gee dat Transkaroo ook lekker is om in te bly!

Vriendelike groete

Ek was nie beïndruk nie.

Ek was nie beïndruk met die lodge nie. Ons het 740 km vanaf Alberton die oggend gery en was moeg. Het daar 14:30 pm daar aangekom en daar was niemand om tasse in te dra nie. Niemand by ontvangs nie. Ons het mense in restaurant gekry. Die kamer was baie donker. Baie ou meubels. Alles was moeg. Daar was geen welkom-koeldrank en die dame was skoon geskok toe ek vra of ontbyt ingesluit is. Daar is niks ingesluit nie Ek voel R850 per aand is bietjie hoog. Ons het in Knysna in 'n 3-ster-instansie met ontbyt vir R790 betaal, vir 'n kamer wat oor die see uitkyk. Ek kan sien hoekom daar saam met ons 2 paartjies in lodge was nie. Ek sal nie weer daar bly nie.

I was not impressed with the lodge. We drove 740 km from Alberton in the morning and were tired. Got there at 2:30 pm and there was no one to carry bags in. No one at reception. We found people in restaurant. The room was very dark. Lots of old furniture. Everything was tired. There was no welcome soft drink and the lady was quite shocked when I asked if breakfast was included. There is nothing included I feel R850 per night is a bit high. We paid R790 in a 3-star establishment with breakfast in Knysna, for a room overlooking the sea. I can see why there were 2 couples in lodge with us. I will not stay there again.

Goeie dag,

Dit is altyd 'n slegte verrassing om te sien as 'n gas teleurgesteld is. Ons is egter 'n hotel en nie 'n gastehuis nie. Daarom geen welkom drankies nie, aangesien ons wel 'n kroeg het. Ons het ook 'n 24 uur ontvangs diens. Ek glo die ontvangs dame was net vir n oomblik nie daar nie. Ons het geen tariewe van R 850.00 nie. Ons gee ons gaste 'n keuse tussen 3 soorte kamers. Ons adverteer ook dat geen etes ingesluit is nie. Ons sal wel ernstig werk aan hierdie opmerkings en dadelik kyk waar ons kan verbeter.

'n Moet vir enige iemand wat die langpad op die N12 tussen die Kaap en Johannesburg aanpak!

Na 'n volle dag se ry was dit soos om by 'n heerlike, koel oase aan te kom. Die kamer met sy lugversorging was stylvol gemeubileer. Die Franse gevoel wat die eienaars met Transkaroo Country Lodge geskep het en die binnehof met sy Franse flair saam met die heerlike kos wat by die Deli bestel kan word, laat 'n mens wonder of jy nie vir nog 'n nag moes bespreek het nie. Die enigste kritiek wat gelewer kan word is op die badkamer in die kamer, wat regtig afsteek teen die mooi van die res. Die stort het bv. 'n gordyn wat nie tot op die grond gehang het nie. Hierdie ten spyt, bly ons volgende jaar weer hier.

A must for anyone taking the long road on the N12 between the Cape and Johannesburg!

After a full day's driving it was like arriving at a lovely, cool oasis. The room with its air conditioning was stylishly furnished. The French feel that the owners have created with Transkaroo Country Lodge and the courtyard with its French flair together with the delicious food that can be ordered from the Deli, makes one wonder if you should not have booked for another night. The only criticism that can be made is the bathroom in the room, which really detracts from the beauty of the rest. The shower has e.g. a curtain that did not hang down to the ground. Despite this, we will stay here again next year.

Beautiful clean comfortable overnight place.

Transkaroo Country Lodge was like a peaceful haven in the Karoo, after a very long day. The rooms were clean and tidy and the beds were particularly comfortable. The Lodge is beautiful and is well set back so you never even need to go out the front door again. The restaurant's food is very tasty but a bit on the expensive side for a family of four.

Real charisma and good service!

Soft towels, clean bedding and a fantastic restaurant. Although the hotel is old, it has real charisma and good service. It is well priced and conveniently located for a N12 road trip. The kitchen is slow, so order a cappuccino and enjoy the atmosphere - its well worth the wait. (Pack in your mosquito repellent!)

Out of the old box.

Place looks very run down. When we got there they couldn't find our reservation at first. Rooms clean and tidy. Bathrooms comfortable and the food amazing. The dining area felt like something out of a fairy tale.

Hotel-ervaring

Transkaroo is ideaal om een aand oor te slaap indien jy lig gepak is. Die parkering is bietjie ver van die ontvangs om bagasie heen en weer te karwei. Die dekor is baie mooi en die kos goed. Daar is 'n keuse tussen goedkoper en duurder akkommodasie - kies eerder bietjie duurder. By die goedkoper akkommodasie word ablusiegeriewe gedeel met ander gaste en die kamers het geen lugversorging, TV of WiFi nie. Dit is ook geleë op 'n baie raserige, besige pad wat beteken die geraas steur indien die venster oopgemaak word. (Dit voel ook nie baie veilig nie).

Hotel experience

Transkaroo is ideal to sleep over for one night if you are lightly packed. The parking is a bit far from the reception to carry luggage back and forth. The decor is very nice and the food good. There is a choice between cheaper and more expensive accommodation - choose a little more expensive instead. At the cheaper accommodation, ablution facilities are shared with other guests and the rooms have no air conditioning, TV or WiFi. It is also located on a very noisy, busy road which means the noise is disturbing if the window is opened. (It doesn't feel very safe either).

Poor reception and arrangements for security of vehicles.

Upon arrival, reception was poor. Nothing extra in room. Arrangement for security of vehicle was bizarre! When I was told to park my vehicle, I mentioned that I was in the way of other vehicles and that after a very long drive I did not want to be woken up early the next morning to have to remove my vehicle. I was assured that this would not happen... I was woken up at 04:50 with the request to go and remove my vehicle: When I got to the gate, the gate was not even unlocked and I had to come back to to come looking for the staff member who asked me to remove vehicle. After this my rest was taboo... No apology, not "sorry" or anything... I think this is extremely poor service!

Ons het ons oorbly vreeslik geniet, daar is absoluut niks om oor te kla nie. Lieflike atmosfeer en interessante geskiedenis om te lees!

Wat 'n lieflike plek om te oornag op pad Kaap toe. Ons het regtig gewens ons kon langer bly en het oorweeg om dieselfde pad terug na Johannesburg te reis, spesifiek dat ons weer kon oornag in die Transkaroo Country Lodge! Ons is soos "royalty" behandel en niks was te veel moeite vir enige van die vriendelike en behulpsame personeel nie. Alles baie gerieflik en ons kan dit beslis aanbeveel!

What a lovely place to spend the night on the way to the Cape. We really wished we could have stayed longer and considered traveling the same way back to Johannesburg, specifically that we could spend the night again in the Transkaroo Country Lodge! We were treated like "royalty" and nothing was too much trouble for any of the friendly and helpful staff. All very convenient and we can definitely recommend it!

Halfpad tussen Kaapstad en Johannesburg op die stiller N12 is die heerlikste verrassing. Die kamer was heerlik koel en skoon, maar die beste deel is die heerlike kos en atmosfeer in die binneplein. Die ideale oorslaapplek!

Vriendelike diens. Aandete uitstekend. Koue wintersaande.

Ons kan die Lodge aanbeveel in die somer, maar in die winter is dit vrek koud in Britstown en daar is geen elektriese komberse op die beddends nie. Die lugversorger word gebruik om die kamer te verwarm, wat die lug uitdroog en dus baie ongemak veroorsaak. Die aandete was voorwaar baie lekker smaaklike en regte boerekos, so ook die ontbyt. Die eetlokaal is spesiaal en jy kan jou verkyk aan al die ingelegde vrugte en konfyte te koop. Ons het van dit gekoop en dit smaak vorentoe.

Friendly service. Dinner excellent. Cold winter evenings.

We can recommend the Lodge in the summer, but in the winter it is very cold in Britstown and there are no electric blankets on the beds. The air conditioner is used to heat the room, which dries out the air and therefore causes a lot of discomfort. The dinner was indeed very tasty and real peasant food, as was the breakfast. The dining room is special and you can have a look at all the pickled fruits and jams for sale. We bought some of it and it tastes forward.

The courtyard was totally spectacular as it feels like it takes you away to Italy because of its resemblance to a street cafe, complete with grapevines! The backpacker option we took was real value for money and the ablution block has space for more than 2 people at once. Will definitely recommend to everyone.

We found an oasis in the desert, we were so pleasantly surprised, everything was great.

The food, accommodation, surroundings etc. were all extremely good. We were pleasantly surprised as one never knows what one might find.

The most comforting, warm, friendly personal in SA and a beautiful building and decor too!

All the smiles and friendly faces and service was perfect! It felt like heaven! The jasmine in the air, the building with a festive atmosphere, the excellent food! I can keep going on and on about how fantastic Transkaroo Country Lodge is! Thank you!

A little expensive, but still an excellent venue.

For this price one would expect a bit more modern bathroom and beds. Shower over the bath is a bit unsafe. nIt still is worthwhile to stay over for one night on the way to Cape Town - the service, having drinks in the courtyard and dinner is good/excellent. nIt might help if the staff come in 30 mins earlier to prepare for breakfast - some guests want to leave earlier than 08:00.nThe staff are very well trained and very helpful - all credit goes to them! Even the guy looking after the vehicles outside is doing his work very well.

A reasonable one night stop.

The Trans Karoo country lodge is reasonable as a one night stop. The room was small but beds were comfortable. The bathroom was tiny and rather drab. In short: It is reasonable for a stop over.
