Very pleasant, clean with anything you need, just a few noisy late-night folk.

The room and facilities are excellent. We did not make use of the restaurant or pool, but they also looked fantastic. Being on the main road meant noisy trucks, but that was not bad. Also, being Saturday night, there were quite a few people enjoying the pool and 'partying', the music was a bit loud and when they left to their rooms, they continued chatting loudly till past 2 in the morning, so that was a bit much - probably just our luck that night. A pleasant place and ideal stop between Swakopmund and Cape Town!

Book now for an unforgettable getaway that you and your family will remember!

Our stay was nothing short of spectacular! The service provided by the staff was professional and of great help. Our children and babies, all 4 under the age of 4, enjoyed every single bit of our stay. There's a lovely swimming pool and lots of animals, including 2 beautiful peacocks showing off their beautiful feathers as they should! We were blown away by the kindness of the owners. In all honesty, I have never in my life experienced such welcoming and kind-hearted people going out of their way to make you feel at home! Without a doubt, our family will be visiting sooner rather than later!

Dit was die moeite werd.

Dit was 'n besondere ervaring om 2 nagte by Vioolsdrift Lodge te oornag op pad en terug van Namibië. Die vriendelikheid, gasvryheid en hulpvaardigheid van Tony en Victoria was absoluut wonderlik. Ons chalets was uiters skoon, gerieflik en bekostigbaar. Ons wil Vioolsdrift Lodge baie graag aanbeveel, veral vir toeriste op pad Namibië toe.

Lekker rustige vakansie.

Baie vriendelik ontvang deur eienaar en ontvangsdame. Netheid puik, kamer mooi en groot ruimte. Die WiFi pin was 'n probleem en later het dit nie gewerk nie. Voorstel is om dit miskien voorsien aan gaste by aankoms of vertoon by huisreëls. Om nog verder aangenaam te maak vir ons sportliefhebbers, kry ten minste DStv sportkanale in ontvangs by die bar. Dankie, lekker naweek.

Nice peaceful holiday.

Very friendly welcome by owner and receptionist. Cleanliness great, room nice and big space. The WiFi pin was a problem and later it didn't work. Suggestion is to perhaps provide it to guests upon arrival or display at house rules. To make it even more enjoyable for our sports fans, at least get DStv sports channels in reception at the bar. Thank you, have a nice weekend.

Dear Richard,

We will most definitely make a point of adding the required credentials as far as the Wi-Fi pin is concerned to our chalets. We also have DStv on our main television at reception where all the guests gather to watch sport, etc.

We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the cleanliness of Vioolsdrift Lodge. That is one of our main priorities to ensure that all our guests enjoy a clean space to be accommodated in and for you to feel comfortable and at home.

We are looking forward to welcoming you back again soon and I am certain by then you will find the Wi-Fi pin added to our house rules upon your arrival.

Gawe gasheer en gasvrou en lekker gebly.

Tony en Victoria was bitterlik gaaf en vriendelik. 'n Lekker aandete na 'n lang rit van Windhoek was heerlik en die sitarea by die bome is perfek na 'n dag op die pad. Die kamer was skoon en nodige was daar en ons kon ons bakkie direk langs die kamer parkeer. Met Tony wat al jare in die omgewing woon, is hy ook die perfekte gasheer vir enige vrae wat mens dalk het oor die paaie in die omgewing of oor die omgewing in die algemeen.

With Tony having lived in the area for years, he is also the perfect host for any questions one might have about the roads in the area or about the environment in general.

Gerieflik, gesellig met goeie diens.

Ons het lekker gebly vir die doel waarvoor ons dit bespreek het. Dit is 'n goeie plek vir oorslaap op die grens en jy kan self kos maak of die restaurant gebruik. Daar is 'n privaat braaiplek met yskas, mikrogolf en eetgerei. Ook 'n aangename kroeg in die kompleks. Daar is 'n goed toegeruste winkel reg langs die akkommodasie. Beddens is lekker. Swembad en tuin word tans reggemaak, maar sal seker reg wees vir die somer.

Vioolsdrift Lodge 's response

Dear Nicole,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

We are aware of the vehicles passing since we are located on the N7 on the South African side, just before you reach the Namibian border, which makes it convenient to cross to and from at any time.

Because of this, thankfully we have developed more chalets located away from the roadside on the same property, thus you are more than welcome to request such a unit on your next stay.

We are looking forward to welcoming you back again very soon at Vioolsdrift Lodge.

Kindest regards,

Management,

Great stay.

I struggled to enter at the gate because the number at the gate and the one I received was not working. I tried to hoot, but no one responded, and it was during the day. I gained access when other guests were going to the shops, but the accommodation was nice. It is value for money. I love everything about the accommodation.

Dear Banti, we apologise for the inconvenience caused since we are battling to get Telkom to repair our faulty landline. Also, please feel free to make use of the bell that is available at the gate should you experience a similar problem in future. Furthermore, we are pleased that you enjoyed being accommodated at Vioolsdrift Lodge.

Please feel free to visit us again soon,

Kindest regards,

Tony and Victoria

Ons het lekker geslaap, dankie.

Vioolsdrif Lodge was baie netjies en skoon, maar daar is aspekte wat aandag moet kry. 1. Die stort se vloer is 'gevaarlik' glad. Ek moes 'n handdoek op die vloer gooi om nie te gly en te val nie. 2. Dit sal ook goed wees om 'n handreeling by die stort aan te bring waaraan ou mense soos ek kan vashou. 3. Die spieel by die wasbak is hopeloos te hoog en my vrou kon haar nie daarin sien nie. 4. Die wasbak het nie 'n prop gehad nie en ons moes met toiletpapier 'n prop prakseer om die water te hou. 5. Die chalet (No 4) word as 'n selfdienseenheid aangebied, maar daar is geen gereedskap (bakke, potte, panne, ens.) om kos voor te berei nie. 6. Daar is ook geen kookgeriewe om kos te maak nie, behalwe 'n mikrogolfoond. Maar daar is nie houers om in die oond te gebruik nie en om eiers in 'n mikrogolfoond te bak is nie moontlik nie. 7. Die prop in die opwasbak het ook nie gepas nie. 8. Die naambord is tussen die takke van die bome weggesteek sodat mens dit nie kan sien nie en dan verbyry.

We slept well, thank you.

Vioolsdrif Lodge was very neat and clean, but there are aspects that need attention. 1. The shower floor is 'dangerously' slippery. I had to throw a towel on the floor to keep from slipping and falling. 2. It would also be good to add a hand rail to the shower that old people like me can hold on to. 3. The mirror at the sink is hopelessly too high and my wife could not see herself in it. 4. The sink did not have a plug and we had to use toilet paper to make a plug to hold the water. 5. The chalet (No 4) is offered as a self-catering unit, but there are no utensils (bowls, pots, pans, etc.) to prepare food. 6. There are also no cooking facilities to prepare food, apart from a microwave oven. But there are no containers to use in the oven and baking eggs in a microwave oven is not possible. 7. The plug in the sink didn't fit either. 8. The name plate is hidden between the branches of the trees so that one cannot see it and then drive by.

Beste Staal B,

Dankie dat u die tyd geneem het om vir ons terugvoering tegee i.v.m. u verblyf,

Let graag op die volgende:
- Ons sal beslis aandag gee aan die stort area.
- Ons is jammer om te hoor oor die spieel wat u te hoog gevind het, ons sal daaraan aandag gee.
- Jammer oor die prop van die wasbak, dit sal beslis onmiddellik aandag geniet.
- Gereedskap word aangehou en word op aanvraag verskaf; ongelukkig moet ons dit so bewerkstellig omdat gereedskap te gereeld verwyder was sonder ons toestemming en omdat dit nie 'n aanwins sal wees om weekliks potte vir ons chalets ten koste te vervang nie. Op u volgende besoek is u meer as welkom om gereedskap, soos onder andere potte, by ontvangs aan te vra. Ons vriendelike ontvangs assistente is meer as bereid om u daarmee te verskaf.
- Ons eenhede is wel selfsorg eenhede soos aangedui, uitsluitend stowe, om die verfgehalte van ons chalets te handhaaf en om olie spatsels teen mure te verhoed. Dit sluit wel in: (’n mikrogolf oond, yskas en braai geriewe).
- Die beste nuus is dat ons tans al ons naamborde verwyder het en ons is wagend op ons splinternuwe naamborde, wat dit moontlik sal maak vir almal om raak te sien, en daarmee gepaard gaan die sny van die bome.

Ons hoop om u gou weer terug te verwelkom en om al die aanpassings noukeurig na te gaan.

Vriendelike groete,

Bestuur,

Vioolsdrift Lodge

Gerieflik maar kort onderhoud.

Die kamer is goed toegerus, maar kort onderhoud en deeglike skoonmaak. Diens en personeel is goed en vriendelik.

Comfortable but short maintenance.

Goeie dag, mev. Swart, dankie vir u terugvoering. Om te verseker dat elke gas 'n positiewe besoek het by Vioolsdrift Lodge, sal dit ons baie help om te weet waarna u verwys wat nie ten gunste was van u besoek nie.

Rasende akkommodasie.

Daar was ander gaste wat harde musiek gespeel en gekuier het tot laat in die aand. Die ligging is ook reg langs die pad, so mens hoor die trokke die hele nag lank ry. Ons het ook die eerste huisie langs die hek gehad, en die mense het laat in die nag op hulle hooters gedruk om in te kom, wat steurend was.

Amazing accommodation.

There were other guests playing loud music and partying late into the night. The location is also right next to the road, so you can hear the trucks driving all night long. We also had the first cottage next to the gate, and the people pressed their hooters late at night to get in, which was disturbing.

Ons het 'n baie lekker familie vakansie geniet. Die personeel is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Ons het baie lekker gebly en ons, oud en jonk, het die swembad verskriklik geniet.

Daar was geen messe by die eetgerei om te kon gebruik nie en die badkamer se lig het nie gewerk nie.
