Herehuis met karakter.

Vulture Lodge is 'n pragtige ou herehuis aan die voet van die Aasvoelkop. Dit was baie netjies en klassiek mooi. Ons ontvangs was warm. Ware verrassing aan die buitewyke van Zastron.

Mansion with character.

Vulture Lodge is a beautiful old mansion at the foot of the Aasvoelkop. It was very neat and classically beautiful. Our reception was warm. Real surprise on the outskirts of Zastron.

Excellent.

Welcoming, extremely clean. Very quiet. Beautifully furnished. Loads of history. Hiking up the mountain straight from the garden. The only downside was the size of the bed, which was just a double.

Fantastiese mooi uitsig in die berge. Op die hande gedra.

Ongelooflik vriendelike gasvrou. Uit hul pad gegaan om dit spesiaal te maak met al die klein bederfies. Baie tuis gevoel. Pragtige dekor. Matras ferm as verwag en die koue winter het die water in die oggend belemmer, maar ons het heerlik gebly.

Fantastic beautiful view in the mountains. Carried on the hands.

Incredibly friendly hostess. Went out of their way to make it special with all the little treats. Felt very at home. Beautiful decor. Mattress firmer than expected and the cold winter hampered the water in the morning, but we had a lovely stay.

Baie lekker geslaap. Sal weer daar oornag.

Ons het baie lekker rustig hier gebly. Mooi tuine en die ou huis is pragtig en die dekor. Mense baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons het in die Dam Huis gebly. Goed toegerus. Niks van die selfsorg goed gebruik gemaak nie aangesien ons net oornag het. Nell's restaurant wat deur die verblyf aanbeveel is vir ons aandete was baie goed en lekker.

We had a very pleasant and peaceful stay here. Beautiful gardens and the old house is beautiful and the decor. People very friendly and helpful. We stayed in the Dam House. Well equipped. Didn't make good use of the self-catering as we only stayed overnight. Nell's restaurant recommended by the accommodation for our dinner was very good and tasty.

Beautiful accommodation hidden at the foot of a mountain. Highly recommend it.

We loved our stay at Vultures Lodge. It is located at the foot of the mountain, and its big garden makes you feel completely hidden. It is a beautiful old sandstone house. The inside of our room was beautifully decorated and clean. We were warmly welcomed, and they were very helpful in all communications. We had to shift our booking dates, and they didn't hesitate to help us. They organized another room for us at no extra cost. We will definitely stay over again, and we highly recommend it should you find yourself in the area.

Rustige plaasatmosfeer.

Pragtige plekkie en baie rustig. Daar is alles wat jy nodig het. Baie netjies en goed versorg. Enigse nadeel is kommunikasie met eienaars. Die hele dorp se krag was af en die volgende oggend kon die hek nie oopmaak met die afstandsbediening nie. Daar was geen sein en geen een van ons of enige gas kon uitskakel nie. Moes toe noodgedwonge die hek van die spoor afhaal.

Quiet farm atmosphere.

Beautiful place and very peaceful. There is everything you need. Very neat and well maintained. Only downside is communication with owners. The entire town's power was out and the next morning the gate could not be opened with the remote control. There was no signal and none of us or any guest could turn off. Had to take the gate off the rail by necessity.

I stayed for one night. The guesthouse provided yummy supper and breakfast and we were made to feel at home. The rooms are individually decorated with all amenities and set in beautiful garden with mountain background. Only issue is the dirt road which was difficult to navigate due to rain.

Pragtige huisie, met alles wat nodig is vir 'n rustige oornag stop.

Ons was baie vriendelik begroet by die hek met die oulikste seuns. Die ontvangs was baie vriendelik en ons het onmiddellik gemaklik gevoel. Die eenheid is regtig so oulik uiteengesit, met alles wat 'n mens sou verwag vir 'n heerlike veilige en rustige oornag verblyf. Sal beslis weer soontoe gaan as ons weer in die omgewing is.

'n Elegante en gerieflike oornagrus.

Vultures Lodge is 'n pragtige ou Vrystaatse plaaswoning wat gerestoureer en smaakvol omskep is in 'n elegante oornag-rusplek. Addisionele cottages bied 'n "rustic" atmosfeer. Ek het die kaggel baie geniet, siende dat ek in die middel van die winter daar oornag het. My besoek is afgerond met 'n eersteklas ontbyt in die geskiedkundige eetkamer. Die diens was uitstekend.

An elegant and comfortable overnight stay.

Vultures Lodge is a beautiful old Free State farmhouse that has been restored and tastefully converted into an elegant overnight resting place. Additional cottages offer a "rustic" atmosphere. I really enjoyed the fireplace, seeing as I stayed there in the middle of winter. My visit was rounded off with a first class breakfast in the historic dining room. The service was excellent.

Just disappointed.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend the lodge because we were disappointed that dinner and breakfast were not provided. My booking expressly required both meals as did my response to sms's. Arriving on a Sunday there were no facilities to go and eat at or purchase food. I should have been warned to procure food to cook at the guest house. The guest house is old and quaint and lovely. Our room shower wasn't working and there was only enough hot water for one person to bath.

Die kamers is ruim en goed ingerig. Die omgewing is pragtig. Daar is egter beter opsies in Zastron.

My grootste bekommernis is sekuriteit. Toe ons laat die aand terugkeer, het die hek oopgestaan. Die afstgandbeheerder wat ons gehad het, het die hek nie toegemaak nie. Enigeen kon dus ongestoord toegang tot die perseel kry. Die wasbak in die badkamer is bitter klein. Mens kan nie behoorlik hande was of skeer sonder om alles rondom die wasbak nat te maak nie.

Translate to English.

The rooms are spacious and well furnished. The environment is beautiful. However, there are better options in Zastron.

My biggest concern is security. When we returned late in the evening, the gate was open. The remote control we had did not close the gate. Anyone could therefore access the premises undisturbed. The sink in the bathroom is very small. One cannot properly wash hands or shave without wetting everything around the sink.

Lovely stay with a few niggles.

There is no thoroughfare in the room for fresh air, so it was extremely hot even with a noisy fan supplied. I thought it quite unprofessional that we (and 3 other parties in the cottages) weren't met and welcomed upon arrival. Thanks to my husband dismantling the showerhead, we were able to have a shower. It is such a lovely place, I regret leaving feeling disappointed and slightly annoyed!

Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang. Het heerlik op die stoep gekuier en gebraai. Ons moes ons eie hout bring wat ons voor die tyd gekommunikeer het. Die kombuis was ten volle toegerus, die beddegoed kraakvars en die ontbyt (voor af gereël) heerlik. Ons het net filterkoffie gemis, maar het gelukkig ons eie voorraad gebring. Sal beslis weer kom.

It was a lovely old worldly experience.

We were received very kindly. Had a great time on the stoep and barbecued. We had to bring our own wood which we communicated ahead of time. The kitchen was fully equipped, the bedding crisp and the breakfast (arranged in advance) delicious. We only missed filter coffee, but luckily brought our own supply. Will definitely come again.

Baie goed toegerus om jou verblyf so aangenaam moontlik te maak. Rustige atmosfeer. Vriendelike en behulpsame personeel. Kan hulle sterk aanbeveel indien jy in daardie rigting reis.

Baie aangename verblyf.

Die enigste klagte is dat die ontbyt op 'n koue oggend louwarm was. Personeel het vergeet om warm skinkbord aan te skakel. Andersins uitstekende diens.

The only complaint I have it that the breakfast was lukewarm on a cold morning. The staff forgot to switch on the hot plates. Otherwise the service was excellent.

Aangename en rustige plattelandse verblyf.

Aangename en rustige plattelandse verblyf met interessante meubels, houtvloere en karakter. Goeie aandete. Jammer daar was nie koffiefasiliteite in die kamers nie, en die algemene ''koffie-hoekie'' in die eetkamer se goeie kitskoffiebottel was leeg, en die koffie in die koffiemasjien se filter was nog 'n vorige geleentheid se gebruikte koffie.

Pleasant and peaceful country accommodation.

Pleasant and peaceful country accommodation with interesting furniture, wooden floors and character. Good dinner. Too bad there were no coffee facilities in the rooms, and the common "coffee nook" in the dining room's good instant coffee bottle was empty, and the coffee in the coffee machine's filter was still used coffee from a previous event.

Not as expected.

Vultures Lodge could be a very nice stop-over, but it does not have adequate insulation in the ceilings and the result is that the rooms are extremely hot. Calling ahead in December on Christmas Eve we found out an hour before arriving that the lodge was not going to serve dinner, apparently a message was left that we didn't receive informing us. Upon arrival we found our room to be a lot smaller and darker than we had remembered when booking, however we unpacked and started to prepare dinner only to find there was no gas, we were informed by the owner who was elsewhere the bottle was behind our unit, but after investigating in the dark we realised it was in a locked storeroom and gave up on that. The following day we checked our notes which confirmed we were not in the room as advertised and the owner confirmed that all the other units are different to the unit advertised.

Uitsonderlike mooi huis met karaktervolle meubilering.

Ons was so beïndruk met die foto's op die webblad en het baie uitgesien na ons verblyf. Ons was op toer met ons nuwe skoonfamilie uit Israel en almal was oorweldig met hoe pragtig die huis en omgewing was, en hoe gasvry Samantha en die hele personeel ons verwelkom het.

Was oorval met 'n rustigheid by Vultures Lodge. Die kothuis is heerlik uitgelê. Besoek 'Nel's Restaurant' vir heerlike sit- of wegneemetes.

A few small things bother to recommend the neat facility without reservation.

The few things that prevent us from recommending the good facility in the nice, quiet surroundings are: no toilet paper, a shower that is hot and then suddenly gets cold and after a lot of trouble with the faucets gets hot again, leaking sink, faucets which cannot be tightened any more without running the risk of neck-turning the taps.
