Uitstekende lodge met goeie diens.

Waschbank River Lodge is 'n uitstekende plek en baie gerieflik vir 'n naweek wegbreek of net as oorslaapplek. Die geriewe is baie goed en die uitsig oor die Oranje Rivier is asemrowend. Die personeel is vriendelik en professioneel en bied uitstekende diens. Ons verblyf was uit die boonste rakke.

Excellent lodge with good service.

Waschbank River Lodge is an excellent place and very convenient for a weekend break or just as a place to sleep. The facilities are very good and the view over the Orange River is breathtaking. The staff are friendly and professional and provide excellent service. Our stay was top notch.

Brilliant. Looking forward to coming back soon.

This was an absolutely stunning little surprise on my motorcycle trip. The scenery right on the banks of the Orange River is breathtakingly beautiful. Great service, friendly staff, ice-cold beers, and a culinary first: sheep tails for starters. You've got to try it!

Pragtige plek. Personeel behulpsaam en vriendelik. Al die pad-aanwysers na Waschbank River Lodge is baie deurmekaar. Gebruik net die Gariepdam afrit vanaf N1, ongeag van watter rigting jy kom. Dan is die pad-aanwysers baie duidelik.

Beautiful views of the river.

We are repeat customers of Waschbank River Lodge. The views of the river are spectacular from the wooden deck off the lodge and rooms. Prior to arriving at the lodge, we requested that the bed in our room be made up as 2 single beds rather than 1 double bed. Unfortunately, this request was not possible, and instead, a single mattress was placed on the floor next to the double bed. The meals at breakfast and dinner were delicious, but we were disappointed that there were no light meals or sandwiches available during the rest of the day. We were also disappointed to find items added to our dinner bill which we did not order or consume. I have informed management of this overcharge, and I hope to be refunded for it.

Ligging baie mooi maar nie gemaklik gebly nie.

Die meubels in die kamer is baie oud en buite was daar 'n asbak wat nie skoon was nie. Die stoep was ook nie skoongemaak nie. Ons kon die oggend nie stort nie, want daar was niks warm water nie. Die aandete was baie duur vir wat ons gekry het en het dit nie eens klaargemaak nie. Daar was ook nie ys beskikbaar nie.

An absolutely beautiful, comfortable stay.

The location, which is situated right on the Orange River is absolutely perfect to set the mind at ease after a long day's travel. The relaxing facilities like the pool (for the summer) and lounge/deck area are well-kept and also just add to making one feel relaxed. A lovely place indeed.

Pragtige plek op die Oranjerivieroewer met vriendelike personeel.

Die aandete was heerlik en stiptelik bedien. Terrein word goed onderhou. Personeel hulpvaardig. Ons stadsjapies waardeer dit dat die boere hulle plase vir ons beskikbaar stel om te oornag.

Ongelooflike ervaring!

Dit was regtig vir ons 'n wonderlike oornagplek. Ons het vroegmiddag aangekom en kon net lekker op die stoep gaan sit en vir die rivier kyk. Die personeel is professioneel, vriendelik, hulpvaardig en regtig 'n goeie verteenwoordiging van die plek. Ons het ook die aand by die restaurant geëet en ons oorslaap het ontbyt ingesluit. Die kos was uitstekend! Ons kamer was skoon, netjies, mooi en heerlik om in te bly. Ons gaan verseker dit ons gereelde oornagplek maak tussen Pretoria en Kaap.

It was really a great stopover for us. We arrived in the early afternoon and could just sit on the porch and watch the river. The staff are professional, friendly, helpful and really a good representation of the place. We also ate at the restaurant that night and our overnight stay included breakfast. The food was excellent! Our room was clean, tidy, beautiful and lovely to stay in. We are sure to make this our regular stopover between Pretoria and the Cape.

Die selfsorg-gesinseenheid bied pragtige uitsigte oor die rivier, asook meer privaatheid. Gerieflik om 'n restaurant op die perseel te hê en die diens is goed. Ons sal graag weer hier tuisgaan in die toekoms.

Really such a chilled place, where you order your drinks and supper and it appears at precisely the time you asked for it. Just fabulous.

Waschbank River Lodge is one of our favourites. where you can sit on the deck watching birds go up and down the Gariep. It is a fabulous stopover. You are able to kick off your travel weary shoes and relax on a sofa listening to the pleasant sounds of the Groot River. It really remains top class.

Wonderlik en rustig.

Was wonderlik om na 'n lang dag se ry net lekker op die stoep te kon ontspan. Lodge en personeel is fantasties. Net een voorstel, dalk 'n gastetoilet in die 8 slaap-kamer huis en trappe van die parkeerarea agter die huis vir die in en uit laai van bagasie. Verder geen klagtes!

As ek wou fout vind sou ek sê plaas net beskuit in kamer saam met die koffie. Kos is restaurant is baie goed en die personeel verdien 'n goue ster. Ek sal nooit weer op 'n ander plek oorslaap nie. Skoon linne, warm geslaap, lekker geëet en baie mooi uitsig. Kan daar vir 'n week bly.

Na 'n lang dag op die pad is dit die rivier en rustigheid wat die siel nodig het. Met 'n koffie of 'n wyntjie terwyl jy vir die rivier kyk kan jy nie anders as om krag te kry vir die res van jou reis nie. Met klein kindertjies is die restaurant 'n redding!

Die ligging, die uitsig en die verblyf is alles tops. En dan as bonus die absolute rus en vrede wat jy daar ervaar is iets wat 'n mens nie kan beskryf nie.

Die pragtigste plek. Paradys. Die uitsig is asemrowend, die verblyf 5-ster en die kos bo-baas. Ek sal Waschbank ten alle tye aanbeveel en sal altyd teru gaan. As jy jouself wil bederf is hierdie beslis die plek.

Wonderlike oornagveblyf op pad na Kaapstad.

Dit was heerlik om weer by Waschbank te oornag, ons het jare gelede hier oornag en was baie beïndruk dat die lodge steeds so mooi is en nog beter as wat ons onthou. Personeel lewer uitstekende diens. Zelmari, in besonder, het baie ekstra moeite gedoen en selfs 'n welkome wegneemontbyt vir ons gereël aangesien ons vroeg moes vertrek die volgende oggend. Hierdie was die perfekte begin vir ons vakansie in Kaapstad - welgedaan, doen so voort!

Wonderful overnight stay on the way to Cape Town.

It was lovely to spend the night at Waschbank again, we spent the night here years ago and were very impressed that the lodge is still as beautiful and even better than we remember. Staff provide excellent service. Zelmari, in particular, went the extra mile and even arranged a welcome take away breakfast for us as we had to leave early the next morning. This was the perfect start to our holiday in Cape Town - well done, keep it up!

Apart from a lovely overnight stop for travellers, I think this would be a lovely place to spend a few days. The amenities are top class, the menu looked great (we were self catering so did not try the food) and the river views and bird life stunning. We had a wonderful time there.

Waschbank is 'n blyplek wat ek enige tyd sal aanbeveel. Dit is rustig, mooi en die diens is puik. Al wat jy hoor ,is die voëls en die rivier. En die 'infinity pool' met sy uitsig oor die rivier is net wat 'n mens nodig het om in af te koel, na 'n lang pad. Die restaurant se kos is ook uitstekend en goeie waarde vir geld. Die kamers is pragtig, baie skoon en gemaklik. Die selfsorgeenheid het ook allles wat jy sal nodig hê.

The rooms are beautiful, very clean and comfortable. The self-catering unit also has everything you will need.

Pragtige plekkie op die oewer van die Oranjerivier.

Ons het 'n fantastiese nag op die oewer van die rivier gehad. Die ontvang was uitsonderlik warm en gasvry - ons het sommer dadelik tuis gevoel. Die eenheid is absoluut pragtig en baie netjies. Die uitsig was asemrowend vanaf ons eenheid en ons het die rustigheid van die omgewing ongelooflik baie geniet. Ontbyt was by die prys ingesluit maar ons moes ongelukkig vroeg in die pad spring die volgende oggend. Groot was ons verbasing toe die eienaar aanbied om kospakkies vir ons voor te berei. Hierdie plekkie is beslis 'n juweel wat ons weer sal besoek.

The view was breathtaking from our unit and we really enjoyed the tranquility of the surroundings. Breakfast was included in the price but unfortunately we had to hit the road early the next morning. Great was our surprise when the owner offered to prepare food packages for us. This little place is definitely a gem that we will visit again.

Enkelnagbesoek met min slaap.

Waschbank is 'n oulike plek, maar ek is onaanpaspaar met Waschbank. Die probleem is ornamentele reukstokkies in die kamer wat alles deurtrek (ons was in kamer 7). My neus het heelnag gedrup en eers opgehou anderkant Colesberg. Ons kon niks oopmaak nie, want reg oorkant kamer 7 is vier ander kamers se lugversorgers wat dreun. Wees ook gewaarsku dat kamer 7 baie klein is. Daar is bv. net plek vir een bedkassie. Die gevolg was dat my vrou in die nag op haar bril getrap het, die raam verwoes het en haar voet beseer het. Laastens moet ek uitwys dat parkeerplek nie by die wooneenhede is nie, maar sowat 50 m weg. Ander eenhede is nog verder. Daar is vriendelike personeel wat help met die aandra, maar 5 uur die oggend is hulle natuurlik spoorloos. Dis 'n belangrike stukkie inligting vir ouer mense wat oorweeg om daar te bly.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Single night visit with little sleep.

Waschbank is a nice place, but I'm a misfit with Waschbank. The problem is ornamental incense sticks in the room that permeate everything (we were in room 7). My nose dripped all night and only stopped beyond Colesberg. We couldn't open anything because directly opposite room 7 are four other rooms' air conditioners whirring. Also be warned that room 7 is very small. There are e.g. only room for one bedside table. The result was that my wife stepped on her glasses at night, ruined the frame and injured her foot. Finally, I must point out that parking is not at the residential units, but about 50 m away. Other units are further still. There are friendly staff who help with the arrival, but at 5 o'clock in the morning they are of course without a trace. It's an important piece of information for older people who are considering staying there.

Wonderlike natuurskoon-ondervinding met lekker kos en geriewe!

My seun het lekker visgevang op die oewer van die Oranjerivier! Die hulp en kennis wat Peter gebied het was baie welkom en dit was 'n groot sukses. Ek hoef nie eenkeer oor veiligheid bekommerd te gewees het nie, want mens kan uit alle hoeke selfs uit jou kamer sien waar almal hulle bevind. Hier kan mens werklik ontspan!

Kon lekker ontspan vir die eerste keer in 2 jaar, kos vir 'n moeë siel.

Was vasgevang in die COVID greep en moes na die beperkings verslap is, hard werk om te probeer opvang. Die verblyf, die uitsig en die diens was fantasties. Net wat 2 moeë siele nodige gehad het. Het van te vore elke keer by Colesberg verby gery, nie weer nie!

Afgeleë, ons eenheid was bitter, bitter klein. En ongelooflik koud binne eenheid en glo rede is 'n buite werkende waaier wat net 'n gat in die muur is.

Beslis nie vir mense wat van gemak hou nie. Ontbyt was heerlik, maar maak nie op vir die ongemaklike eenheid nie. Foto's is misleidend, want dit word met 'n wye lens geneem.

Remote, our unit was bitterly, bitterly small. And incredibly cold inside unit and believe reason is an outside working fan which is just a hole in the wall.

Beste plek in Gariep.

Die ligging is die beste en dit voel of jy op 'n huisboot op die rivier is as jy op die groot houtdek langs die rivier sit. Die diens is baie flink en vriendelik. Die kos is uit die boonste rakke en goeie waarde vir geld. Ek sal altyd hier oorbly op pad Oos of Wes Kaap toe. Dankie vir julle gasvryheid.

The location is the best and it feels like you are on a houseboat on the river when you sit on the large wooden deck next to the river. The service is very fast and friendly.

Regte klein hidden gem.

Ons was aangenaam verras! Dit was eintlik net 'n oornagplekkie maar kan sommer 'n hele paar aande daar bly! Dit is so 'n rustige plek en ons kamer was perfek vir wat ons nodig gehad het. Al die personeel is uiters vriendelik en behulpsaam en het selfs ons ontbyt vir die volgende more in 'n pakkie gepak vir die pad. Die die perfekte plek vir 'n stappie in die natuur en 'n sundowner op die deck veral as die Oranjerivier sterk loop! Hulle pryse op kos en drankies en die verblyf is regtig baie billik. Dis vir seker ons oornagplek van nou af.

Real small hidden gem.

We were pleasantly surprised! It was actually just a place to stay the night, but could easily stay there for quite a few nights! It is such a peaceful place and our room was perfect for what we needed. All the staff are extremely friendly and helpful and even packed our breakfast for the next morning in a packet for the road. The perfect place for a walk in nature and a sundowner on the deck, especially when the Orange River is running strong! Their prices on food and drinks and the accommodation are really very reasonable. It's probably our stopover from now on.

Ons het die self-catering unit gehuur.

Dit was awesome! Aircons en slaapplek vir Afrika. Lekker druk in showers en hitte soos nodig. Beslis moeite werd om oor te slaap as jy Kaap- en Jhb-roete moet doen. Dek was great, rivier onder dek amazing en braaihout, hele groot sak hout vir ons gelos! Dit was awesome! Skoon en baie goeie begin tot 'n fantastiese vakansie.

Sowaar 'n hidden gem wat ons ontdek het.

As familie het ons konsensus bereik dat ons nie iewers anders gaan oorslaap as ons die langpad JHB toe weer moet aandurf nie. Ons het so lekker gebly met die mooiste view. Die restaurant was 'n bonus, al was ons in 'n self-catering eenheid, kon ons steeds daar bestel terwyl die vuurtjie brand.

As a family, we have reached a consensus that we will not spend the night anywhere else if we have to face the long road to JHB again. We had such a nice stay with the most beautiful view. The restaurant was a bonus, even though we were in a self-catering unit, we could still order there while the fire was burning.

Mei 2021 Uitstekend

Voor aankoms was ons gereeld gebel en ingelig dat akkommodasie gereed is en hulle sien uit na ons aankoms. Vanessa het uit haar pad gegaan om ons tuis te laat voel en haar verwelkoming was uitstekend. Selfs so ver gegaan en ons opgegradeer na 'n kamer met 'n uitsig op rivieroewer. Tydens aandete by die restaurant is ons weereens deur Vanessa gehelp en bedien wat alles vir ons so wonderlik gemaak het. Vanessa is een groot aanwins vir die gasteplaas en loop daardie ekstra myl om kliënte tevredenheid daar te stel. Ligging van akkommodasie is uitstekend en word sterk aanbeveel.

May 2021 Excellent

Prior to arrival we were regularly called and informed that accommodation was ready and they were looking forward to our arrival. Vanessa went out of her way to make us feel at home and her welcome was excellent. Even went so far as to upgrade us to a riverside view room. During dinner at the restaurant we were once again helped and served by Vanessa who made everything so wonderful for us. Vanessa is a great asset to the guest farm and goes the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction. Location of accommodation is excellent and highly recommended.

Waschbank River Lodge sal nou ons gereelde oornagplek word!

Al was ons vooraf opgewonde oor hierdie verblyf, het dit ons verwagtinge oortref! Zelmari en span, julle lewer vir seker uitsonderlike diens! Die ligging op die oewer van die Oranjerivier, is idillies mooi en ja, gaan kyk gerus na die wasbank in die rivier! Die terrein is keurig, die eenhede uiters smaakvol ingerig en ruim. Om op die pragtige dek in absolute stilte te sit en die son oor die rivier te sien ondergaan, is net onbeskryflik mooi. Ons beveel Waschbank sterk aan. Mag julle van krag tot krag gaan!

Even though we were excited about this stay beforehand, it exceeded our expectations! Zelmari and team, you certainly provide exceptional service! The location on the banks of the Orange River is idyllically beautiful and yes, do take a look at the washing bench in the river! The grounds are exquisite, the units extremely tastefully furnished and spacious. Sitting on the beautiful deck in absolute silence and watching the sun set over the river is just indescribably beautiful. We highly recommend Waschbank. May you go from strength to strength!

Perfekte halfpadmerk.

Waschbank is 'n besonderse oasis op die oewer van die Oranjerivier. Dit is lekker en kalmerend om op die dek te sit en luister na die water wat verbyvloei, veral na die lang pad. Ek en my ma het onmiddellik tuis gevoel en die diens van Zelmari en haar span is puik. Die kamer was skoon, netjies en baie goed toegerus vir 'n enkelaand se stop. Die restaurant se aandete en ontbyt is ook uit die boonste gestoeltes.

Perfect halfway mark.

Waschbank is a special oasis on the banks of the Orange River. It's nice and calming to sit on the deck and listen to the water flowing by, especially after the long drive. My mother and I immediately felt at home and the service from Zelmari and her team is excellent. The room was clean, tidy and very well equipped for a single night's stop. The restaurant's dinner and breakfast are also top notch.

Baie lekker ontspan, restaurant op perseel was 'n pluspunt.

Pragtige akkommodasie met baie mooi uitsig oor die rivier waar ons heerlik buite op die dek kon sit waar ons ontbyt geniet het. Baie mooi skoon. Mooi restaurant. Veilige parkering.

Kamers was gerieflik, goed toegerus. Etes was baie smaaklik (skaapstertjies yum!). Tafels net 'n taai gevoel (seker van al die skoonmaak). Baie lekker gekuier. Die feit dat iemand help afpak is 'n bonus!

Ons het Waschbank River Lodge as 'n oornagstop gebruik tussen Gauteng en die Oos-Kaap.

Die uitsig is asemrowend, 'n lekker plaasatmosfeer en rustig. Die restaurant is 'n hanetree van die slaapkamers af en bedien heerlike etes teen baie billike pryse. Ontbyt was 'n bonus en ingesluit in die tarief. Die kamers is teenaan mekaar en soms kan jou bure se geluide pla, andersins is dit pragtig skoon en netjies.

We used Waschbank River Lodge as an overnight stop between Gauteng and the Eastern Cape.

The view is breathtaking, a nice farm atmosphere and peaceful. The restaurant is a stone's throw from the bedrooms and serves delicious meals at very reasonable prices. Breakfast was a bonus and included in the rate. The rooms are opposite each other and sometimes your neighbors' noises can bother you, otherwise it is beautifully clean and tidy.

'n Oase langs die Oranjerivier, waar mens kan ontspan en rus na 'n lang dag op die pad.

Gasvryheid is onverbeterlik! Al wat negatief is, is die deurgesitte ou sitkamerstel in ons selfsorgeenheid en die baie klein stort.

Rustig met 'n werkende plaas, wild en rivieruitsig.

Ek en my vrou was baie vriendelik ontvang. Die Covid-beperkings vlak 4 maak dit net moeilik om werklik hartlik te verkeer. Ons het 'n pragtige uitsig oor die Oranjerivier gehad met 'n dek wat uiloop vanaf ons kamer. Daar kan visgevang word, rondgery word of net ontspan langs die rivier. Ontbyt was ingesluit in die prys en aandete kon bestel word van die restaurant as 'n a la carte. Daar is oorgenoeg speelplek vir kinders om fiets te ry en rond te hardloop.

Peaceful with a working farm, wildlife and river views.

My wife and I were received very kindly. The Covid restrictions level 4 just make it difficult to have a really cordial relationship. We had a beautiful view of the Orange River with a deck that extends from our room. You can go fishing, drive around or just relax by the river. Breakfast was included in the price and dinner could be ordered from the restaurant as an a la carte. There is ample play space for children to ride bikes and run around.

Waarde vir geld en alles wat jy nodig het en nog meer.

Baie gasvry en het uit hulle pad gegaan om die geringste versoek uit te voer. Ons het baie vroeg vertrek en hulle het tot 'n padkos vir ons ingepak. Restaurant is hoog aan te beveel, heerlik geeet en gekuier en om jou ontbyt op die oewer van die rivier te geniet was vir my die hoogte punt. Rivier was invloed en dit het dit nog meer besonders gemaak. Ek sal definitief weer daar bly, die rustigheid, mooi natuur was net vir my. Hulle werknemers was altyd vriendelik en behulpsaam en komplimente vir die kok.

I will definitely stay there again, the tranquility, beautiful nature was just for me. Their employees were always friendly and helpful and complimented the cook.

Slegte siens.

Nie die beste van aande gehad nie. Het 'n bespreking gemaak by die restaurant om die aand daar te eet toe ons daar aangekom het, waar ons uitdruklik vir die dame wat ons gehelp het gesê het dat my lewensmaat allergies is vir neute (waar sy menigmale vir ons gesê het dat sy die chef in kennis gaan stel). Toe ons die kos kry toe het my lewensmaat 'n allergiese reaksie gehad van die kos (neute in gehad), wat ek nie kan verstaan nie, want ons albei het steaks gehad. Nadat ek die dame in kennis gestel het en die kos teruggestuur het, het sy die rekening vir ons gebring om te betaal. Nie een van die werkers het hulp aangebied nie en het dit net geïgnoreer.

Didn't have the best of nights. Made a reservation at the restaurant to eat there the night we arrived, where we expressly told the lady who helped us that my partner was allergic to nuts (where she told us numerous times that she notify chef). When we got the food my partner had an allergic reaction to the food (had nuts in it), which I can't understand because we both had steaks. After I informed the lady and sent the food back, she brought the bill for us to pay. None of the workers offered help and just ignored it.

Lovely cottage overlooking the river.

We stayed in cottage no 9. It was a beautiful cottage, very private with a lovely deck, that has a stunning view over the Orange River. The cottage had everything in it to make your stay comfortable. We had dinner at the restaurant, and enjoyed it very much. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We can recommended this establishment for a wonderful stay and we will definitely be back.

Rustige en vreedsame plekkie.

Hartig ontvang en die gasvrou het goed na ons omgesien. Met wat ons nou weet was 1 nag nie genoeg nie. Ons sou graag langer wil bly volgende keer! Die ontbyt was perfek. Die kuier-area en uitsig oor die rivier was definitief 'n hoogtepunt. Sal die lodge definitief aanbeveel! Enigste kritiek: Alhoewel die eenheid 'n aircon gehad het, het dit nie gevoel of dit werk nie?

Quiet and peaceful place.

A warm welcome and the hostess took good care of us. With what we know now, 1 night was not enough. We would love to stay longer next time! The breakfast was perfect. The picnic area and view of the river was definitely a highlight. Would definitely recommend the lodge! Only criticism: Although the unit had aircon, it didn't feel like it was working?

Vreedsaam langs die Oranjerivier.

Die eenheid is pragtig toegerus met kwaliteit beddens met linne en het alles wat mens nodig het in ‘n selfbediening eenheid. Al het ons dit net gebruik as oorslaapplek, was die rivier se druising, voëlgeluide en pragtige sonsondergang oor die rivier heerlike rus vir mens se siel. Ontvangs was vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Sal Waschbank enige tyd aanbeveel.

The unit is beautifully equipped with quality beds with linen and has everything you need in a self-service unit. Even though we only used it as a place to sleep, the sound of the river, bird sounds and beautiful sunset over the river was wonderful rest for one's soul. Reception was friendly and helpful. Would recommend Waschbank anytime.

Ons het baie lekker gebly.

Ons het nou al 'n paar keer by Waschbank oorgebly op pad Kaap toe en terug. Dis 'n pragtige lodge op die oewer van die Oranjerivier. Jy voel sommer of jou vakansie begin as jy daar aankom. Ons kamer was mooi skoon en die air-con was awesome in daai hitte. Ek sou net graag 'n klein yskassie in die kamer wou hê om van ons padkos en water koud te hou vir die volgende dag. Die eienaar is ook baie gasvry en vriendelik, mens voel dadelik welkom.

We have stayed at Waschbank a few times now on our way to Cape Town and back. It's a beautiful lodge on the banks of the Orange River. You just feel like your vacation is starting when you get there. Our room was nice and clean and the air-con was awesome in that heat. I would just like to have a small fridge in the room to keep some of our road food and water cold for the next day. The owner is also very hospitable and friendly, you immediately feel welcome.

Wonderlik!

Dis die perfekte oornagpunt tussen Gauteng en Mosselbaai. Ons kon nog 'n middag slapie inkry voor ons ietsie vir die moegheid op die dek wat oor die rivier uitkyk geniet het. Die resturant het 'n verskydenheid geregte op die spyskaart gehad wat baie billik en uitsonderlik smaaklik was. Na 'n goeie nagrus op n lekker bed kon ons die res van ons reis na 'n uitstekende ontbyt (Ingesluit) asnpak. Ons het sommer weer 'n kamer vir ons terug reis bespreek. Sien julle een van die dae.

It's the perfect overnight stop between Gauteng and Mossel Bay. We were able to get in another afternoon nap before we enjoyed something for the tiredness on the deck overlooking the river. The restaurant had a variety of dishes on the menu that were very reasonable and exceptionally tasty. After a good night's rest on a nice bed, we could pack the rest of our trip after an excellent breakfast (Included). We just booked a room again for our return trip. See you one of these days.

Rustig langs die rivier.

Kamers is skoon en netjies. Die 1,5 km grondpaadjie is goed maar ry stadig met 'n gewone sedan. Pragtige uitsig van die Oranje en klein maar netjiese kamers. Ongelukkig lyk dit asof honde in die kamers mag oornag. Die a la carte aandete was baie goed. Sondag-ontbyt was eers 8 uur wat effe laat is vir die meeste reisigers. Die sappie by die ontbyt eetpakkies was lekker.

Quiet by the river.

Rooms are clean and tidy. The 1.5 km dirt road is good but driving slowly with a regular sedan. Beautiful view of the Orange and small but neat rooms. Unfortunately, it seems that dogs are allowed to stay overnight in the rooms. The a la carte dinner was very good. Sunday breakfast wasn't until 8 o'clock which is a little late for most travelers. The juice with the breakfast packs was nice.

Dit was 'n ongelooflike uitsig op die oranjerivier vanuit die Eko Tent en ook vanaf die groot kuierstoep. Die personeel, veral Friday, was ontsettend hulpvaardig en gasvry.

Alles was werklik uit die boonste rakke en onverbeterlik. Die ligging is ongelooflik en die personeel hulpvaardig en vriendelik. Ek dink egter dat vir 'n plek met soveel aan sy kant, kan die kwaliteit van die restaurant se kos beslis verbeter.

Ontvangs baie vriendelik, maar kamer uiters stowwerig (gaste het sinusprobleme ontwikkel) en vloer lanklaas gewas.

Baie vriendelike personeel. Die indruk van die plek is dat dit verwaarloos voorkom en kamer en vloer wat nie behoorlik skoongehou word nie, onaanvaarbaar wat beslis nie die tarief van die verblyf werd is nie. Beste beskrywing: Rustic, but not in a nice way.

The lodge does not deserve 4 stars at all. It might be good that you go and see for yourself what the bathrooms etc. look like. All that counts in their favor is the location.

Good overnight accommodation in the tent.

We stayed in the tent right on the river which was lovely. The staff went out their way to make it comfortable for us. It was lovely having a private braai area. Even though there is no electricity in the tent there is solar lights and gas for the shower. We were also supplied with an extension lead to be able to charge phones etc. All in all a good overnight stay after a long travel from Cape Town.

Heerlike ontspannende atmosfeer met alles wat mens nodig het om dit te geniet.

Ons het 'n heerlike oorstop geniet op pad terug na ons vakansie. Ons het die rustigheid van die rivieroewer en die pragtige sonsondergang vanaf die dek so geniet. Sou vir seker nog 'n nag daar kon bly as ons die tyd gehad het. Die kleinkinders sou dit geniet het as daar 'n TV ook in die chalet was, maar vir ons volwassenes was dit eintlik heerlik om net die natuur te kon geniet.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Very relaxing atmosphere with everything you need to enjoy it.

We had a wonderful stopover on our way back after our holiday. We enjoyed the tranquility of the river bank and the beautiful sunset from the deck. Would probably stay another night if we had the time. The grandchildren would have enjoyed it if there was also a TV in the chalet, but for us adults it was really great just to enjoy nature.

Waschbank is pragtig geleë op die oewer van die Oranjerivier, net onder die Gariepdam. Die uitsig vanaf die dek met sonsondergang is onvergeetlik. Die personeel is baie vriendelik, effektief en behulpsaam. Friday is 'n uithaler-kok en kom sommer self bevestig dat alles na ons smaak was. Ons gaan beslis weer die rustige natuurskoon hier opsoek.

Baie gaste, so diens met etes was stadig. Ek dink hulle moet wegbeweeg van spyskaart, en slegs een of twee disse aanbied.

Wonderlikste ligging aan Oranjerivier. Voel asof jy met vakansie is. Rustig, beeldskoon. Diens met aandete en ontbyt was stadig. Muggies in kamer na aandete was soos Bybelse plaag. Dalk kan hulle iets daaraan doen met sif voor vensters en deure.

Many guests, so service with meals was slow. I think they should move away from menu, and only offer one or two dishes.

Most wonderful location on the Orange River. Feel like you're on vacation. Quiet, picturesque. Service with dinner and breakfast was slow. Mosquitoes in room after dinner were like biblical plague. Maybe they can do something about it with screens in front of windows and doors.

Pragtig en rustig by Oranjerivier. Alhoewel netjies en skoon kort linne en gordyne opknapping in die eenheid wat ons gewoon het. Spyskaart beperkte opsies, maar heerlik.

As ek nie so moeg was nie het ek eerder verder gereis en nie daar gebly nie.

Die bed in die kamer was baie ongemaklik en die kussings ook. Lugversorging raas hewig en dit was te warm om dit af te skakel. Mens wil gemak hê na 'n lang, warm reis. Gordyne het baie verslons gehang en daar was stukkende strooikussings op die bed - haal dit eerder af. Die kamer was skoon, ten minste. Die plek het groot potensiaal, maar dit lyk nie of daar veel belangstelling is om dit op te gradeer nie. Die uitsig oor die Oranjerivier is baie mooi.

If I wasn't so tired I would have traveled further and not stayed there.

The bed in the room was very uncomfortable and so were the pillows. Air conditioning was blaring and it was too hot to turn it off. One wants comfort after a long, hot journey. Curtains were hanging very loosely and there were broken straw pillows on the bed - take them down instead. The room was clean, at least. The place has great potential, but there doesn't seem to be much interest in upgrading it. The view over the Orange River is very beautiful.

Asemrowende uitsig!

Ons het ons aand by Waschbank River Lodge baie geniet! Buiten die vreeslike mooi uitsig oor die Oranje rivier, was hulle kliëntediens absoluut 'n wenner! Ons het net buite die skoolvakansie daar gaan bly, so die lodge was baie stil. Friday (wie aan diens was die aand toe ons daar gebly het) het baie mooi na ons gekyk, veral die aandete en ontbyt wat hy vir ons voorberei het!

Aangename verblyf in tent.

Dit was ongelooflik warm. Die grondpad vanaf die hoofpad was maar in 'n swak toestand. Ons het verkies om in die tent te bly met ons twee hondjies. Dit was redelik aangenaam, maar baie warm. Sal eerder 'n kamer of een van die huise aanbeveel. Ongelooflike lekker ontbyt op die dek gehad.

Dit was rustig en pragtig so by die water.

Ons wou spesifiek in Gariepomgewing oornag, 'n Jack Russel saam met ons gehad en daarom Waschbank River Lodge op aanbeveling probeer, veral oor die etes. Dit was rustig, ontspanne en mooi so by die water, ons Jack Russel kon oral rondbeweeg en niks het gepla. Omdat dit skaapwêreld is, het ons skaaptjops gehad vir aandete maar was baie teleurgesteld met die kos, selfs ontbyt was 'n goeie verskeidenheid maar nie op standaard. Die rustigheid, gevoel van die plek oorheers egter die "nie goeie" voorbereiding van etes.

It was tranquil and beautiful by the water.

We wanted to stay in the Gariep area specifically, had a Jack Russel with us and tried Waschbank River Lodge, especially because of the meals. It was tranquil, relaxing and beautiful by the water, our Jack Russel moved around and didn't bother anyone. Because it is sheep country we had lamb chops for dinner but we were disappointed by the food. The breakfast had a big variety but it wasn't on standard. The tranquillity overpowers the not so good experience with the preparation of meals.

Ongasvry, maar netjies en skoon met goeie ligging.

Ons was nie baie goed ontvang nie. Daar was niemand by ontvangs nie, ons het toe na die restaurant gegaan waar ons 'n dame gekry het wat nie eers gegroet het nie en net gevra het of ons wil inboek. Nadat ons die vorms ingevul het, het sy die sleutel gegee en gevra of ons weet waar die kamer is. Hoe moes ons weet waar die kamer is? Sy het ons toe na die kamer toe gevat sonder om enige inligting te gee oor hoe laat ontbyt ens is. Daar was ook 'n deur in die kamer wat ons geskei het van ander mense wat nie gesluit was nie, ons het die deur oopgemaak en in iemand se kamer ingekyk. Dit was nie vir ons gesê nie. Anders as dit is dit 'n baie lekker plek en skoon en netjies. Alle kos is net nie vars nie. Sal weer soontoe gaan en hoop ons word beter ontvang.

We were not very well received. There was no one at reception, we then went to the restaurant where we found a lady who didn't even say hello and just asked if we wanted to check in. After we filled out the forms, she gave the key and asked if we knew where the room was. How were we supposed to know where the room was? She then took us to the room without giving any information about what time breakfast is etc. There was also a door in the room that separated us from other people that was not locked, we opened the door and looked into someone's room. We were not told that. Other than that it is a very nice place and clean and tidy. All food is just not fresh. Will go there again and hope we are received better.

Baie mooi uitsig op die Oranjerivier en baie gerieflike verblyf met fantastiese kos!

Die verblyf, kos en omgewing is fantasties! Omdat mens langs die rivier is het ons ongelooflik baie goggas en spinnekoppe gevind, maar die houtkapper op die stoep het dit als werd gemaak! Die plek is goed geleë en weggesteek sodat mens vrede in die natuur ervaar en die stukkie grondpad is baie goed instandgehou. Ons het vriendelike en goeie diens ontvang. Ons was baie tevrede.

Gerieflike, mooi oornagplek.

Verblyf hier was aangenaam. Personeel vriendelik en die etes baie lekker. Gedurende vakansies met baie besoekers kan personeel meer oplettend wees dat alles in die kamers reg is. Ons badkamerlig het glad nie gewerk nie en van die ander gloeilampe in die kamer ook nie. Die koffiepoeier was in 'n oulike botteltjie, maar die teelepel is te groot om by die botteltjie se bek in te gaan. Tafels buite was vol stof.D ink net hulle kan meer aandag gee aan hierdie klein dingetjies. Gaan maar oor bestuur.

Our bathroom light didn't work at all and neither did some of the other light bulbs in the room. The coffee powder was in a cute little bottle, but the teaspoon is too big to fit into the bottle's mouth. Tables outside were full of dust. I wish they could pay more attention to these little things. Just talk about driving.

Goeie keuse vir 'n natuurliefhebber wat nie van hotelle of rondawels hou nie.

Die lodge se ligging maak dit iets besonders en die moeite werd om te besoek. Die ontvangs was vriendelik en goed en die twee kamers, 3 en 4 was netjies en skoon. Die groot stoep voor die kroeg en kamers is 'n heerlike kuierplek. Die kos was lekker maar ongelukkig koud. Daar moet egter aandag aan die instandhouding gegee word en die jare wys te duidelik. Die beddens kan ook opgradeer word met ordentlike matrasse, veral vir die ruglyers. Die koffie wat uitgesit is kan ook beslis ook verbeter word.

The lodge's location makes it something special and worth visiting. The reception was friendly and good and the two rooms, 3 and 4 were neat and clean. The large veranda in front of the bar and rooms is a lovely place to visit. The food was tasty but unfortunately cold. However, attention must be paid to the maintenance and the years show too clearly. The beds can also be upgraded with decent mattresses, especially for the back sufferers. The coffee put out can definitely be improved as well.

'n Baie mooi omgewing maar verblyf was teleurgesteld met die kamer.

Alhoewel die lodge in 'n baie mooi omgewing geleë is, was ons teleurgesteld met die kamer. Die gordyne se some was losgetrek en deurgeskif. Die lugversorger was onvoldoende - dit was baie warm en het nie die kamer afgekoel nie. Die sit- en eetkamer het ook nie voldoende lugversorging om 'n lekker koel vertrek op 'n warm dag te verseker nie. Alhoewel ontbyt ingesluit was by die prys, het ons om 07h50 vertrek sonder enige ontbyt. (Die krag het afgegaan en teen 07h45 was daar nog geen teken dat enige alternatief gebruik gaan word vir ontbyt nie.) Ek stel ook voor dat ontbyt vanaf 07h00 beskikbaar gestel word vir die gaste wat vroeg wil vertrek en wat ver het om te ry.

A very nice setting but accommodation was disappointed with the room.

Although the lodge is located in a very beautiful setting, we were disappointed with the room. The hems of the curtains were pulled loose and parted. The air conditioner was inadequate - it was very hot and did not cool the room. The sitting and dining room also do not have sufficient air conditioning to ensure a nice and cool room on a hot day. Although breakfast was included in the price, we left at 07h50 without any breakfast. (The power went out and by 07:45 there was still no sign that any alternative would be used for breakfast.) I also suggest that breakfast be made available from 07:00 for the guests who want to leave early and who have a long drive.

Very friendly welcome, delicious dinner and breakfast, peaceful atmosphere.

Disappointed.

The room was clean and tidy, bedding fresh and clean. The place itself had been neglected since we were last there and owners nowhere to be seen. Dinner was below average and poorly served.

Was teleurgesteld en moes ander verblyf reël.

Ons was vroeg by die bestemming en die versoek om wel in te boek was goed hanteer sonder enige probleme. Ons was egter baie teleurgesteld nadat ons die kamer en die res van die oord gesien het. Ek wil graag die volgende observasies onder u aandag bring: Die bed in ons kamer was van baie swak gehalte. Die houtraam was baie lendelam en ek sal nie met 'n geruste hart op die bed kon slaap nie. Die matras het ook beter dae geken, en met my vrou se rugprobleme kon ons net nie daar oornag nie. Daar was net een stoel beskikbaar in die kamer, maar akkommodasie was gereël vir twee mense. Ek het navraag gedoen vir die moontlikheid van braai, maar is ingelig dat dit nie 'n opsie was nie. Dit was en is aanvaarbaar, want die bespreking was vir B&B, maar nadat ons vir ongeveer 10 minute op die dek gesit het sonder enige kelner wat ons besoek het, het ons besluit om ander verblyf te gaan soek. Die oord in die algemeen is nie baie skoon nie en van die ander verblyfopsies waar self-catering wel beskikbaar is, was nie skoon nie met braai as nog steeds in die braaiers sigbaar. Die teleurstelling in die algemeen was baie groot en die feit dat ek ander verblyf moes gaan boek vir die 17de en 26ste Maart 2018 teen 'n koste van ongeveer R2700 is net totaal onaanvaarbaar vir my. Indien 'n vergelyking getref kon word tussen Waschbank en die res van ons verblyf tydens ons verlof, kan ek sterk aanbeveel dat daar 'n professionele vergelyking getref moet word in terme van prys en waarde vir geld. 'n Baie goeie voorbeeld is ons verblyf in Stilbaai. Drie slaapkamers, drie badkamers, ten volle toegeruste kombuis (huis), groot leefarea, braaigeriewe binne en buite, groot buite onthaal area en 'n uitstekende uitsig vir R1000.00 per nag. Vergelyk dit met die R790.00 vir Waschbank en u sal my teleurstelling verstaan. Uit bogenoemde is dit duidelik dat ek vir seker nie Waschbank sal aanbeveel gebasseer op ons onlangse ondervinding nie.

Was disappointed and had to arrange other accommodation.

We were early at the destination and the request to check in was handled well without any problems. However, we were very disappointed after seeing the room and the rest of the resort. I would like to bring the following observations to your attention: The bed in our room was of very poor quality. The wooden frame was very stiff and I would not be able to sleep on the bed with peace of mind. The mattress had also seen better days, and with my wife's back problems we just couldn't spend the night there. There was only one chair available in the room, but accommodation was arranged for two people. I inquired about the possibility of grilling but was informed that it was not an option. This was and is acceptable as the reservation was for B&B, but after sitting on the deck for about 10 minutes without any waiter visiting us, we decided to look for other accommodation. The resort in general is not very clean and some of the other accommodation options where self-catering is available were not clean with braai still visible in the braaiers. The disappointment in general was very big and the fact that I had to book other accommodation for the 17th and 26th March 2018 at a cost of approximately R2700 is just totally unacceptable to me. If a comparison could be made between Waschbank and the rest of our stay during our vacation, I can strongly recommend that a professional comparison be made in terms of price and value for money. A very good example is our stay in Stilbaai. Three bedrooms, three bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen (house), large living area, indoor and outdoor braai facilities, large outside entertainment area and an excellent view for R1000.00 per night. Compare this to the R790.00 for Waschbank and you will understand my disappointment. From the above it is clear that I would certainly not recommend Waschbank based on our recent experience.

Grootste teleurstelling van my lewe!

Ons het daar aangekom en hulle was nie gereed vir ons nie. Ek het toe 'n dame gebel om te sê ons het geboek, en sy het vir die meneer by die ontvangs gesê om ons in woonstel 9 te sit. Dit was bloedig warm en die woonstel nog warmer. Die meneer het die lugreëling vir ons aangesit, maar dit werk nie behoorlik nie. Nie die sitkamer of die kamer s'n nie. Die meubels is baie verwaarloos en die bank was stukkend. Die beddegoed en handdoeke redelik verweer. Die vloere was vol stof en die buitedek was vuil, vol stof. Die buitetafel was ook baie verweer. Ek het dit afgewas en twee handdoeke oor die tafel gegooi vir ons om op te eet. Moet darem sê die personeel was vriendelik en hulpvaardig deur ons te help om ons sleepwa af te haak. Daardie prys per nag is skandelik om vir so 'n plek te betaal. Vir die prys verwag ek baie meer gerief. Dalk meen die eienaar mens betaal vir die uitsig, ek weet nie. Moet sê die uitsig was baie mooi. Dit was 'n groot teleurstelling waarmee ons ons vakansie moes afsluit. Ek was net te moeg en warm om te kla, anders het ek beslis vir my ander plek gaan soek. Dis die meeste wat ek nog ooit per nag betaal het en ook die swakste wat ek nog ooit beleef het.

Biggest disappointment of my life!

We got there and they weren't ready for us. I then called a lady to say we had booked, and she told the gentleman at reception to put us in apartment 9. It was bloody hot and the apartment even hotter. The gentleman put the air conditioner on for us, but it is not working properly. Not the living room or the room's. The furniture was very neglected and the couch was broken. The bedding and towels are quite worn. The floors were full of dust and the outside deck was dirty, full of dust. The outdoor table was also very weathered. I washed it off and threw two towels over the table for us to eat on. Have to say the staff were friendly and helpful in helping us unhook our trailer. That price per night is shameful to pay for such a place. For the price I expect much more comfort. Maybe the owner thinks you pay for the view, I don't know. Must say the view was very nice. It was a big disappointment to end our holiday with. I was just too tired and hot to complain, otherwise I would have definitely gone to find another place for myself. It's the most I've ever paid per night and also the worst I've ever experienced.

Dit was nie juis bevredigend nie.

Die budget-kamer teen R750 'n nag is nie goedkoop nie. Daar is geen kaste nie. Geen toiletware word voorsien nie. Die beddegoed lyk oud en badkamermatjie vuil. Daar was ook net geriewe vir 2 x koppies goedkoop koffie.

Nie gebly. Ons het alternatiewe verblyf gaan soek.

Die omgewing is pragtig met die rivier en die foto's is pragtig op die webtuiste. Die eenheid waarin ons sou slaap was glad nie aantreklik nie en ek het glad nie lus gehad om na 'n ver dag se ry daar oor te slaap nie. Die koffie-stasie se suiker was geëet deur wat ek dink 'n muis was en in een hoek van die vertrek was uitskeiding van die gedierte te sien. Die beddegoed lyk nie goed en die kussings wat die bed verfraai is uitgerafel en volgens my stokoud. Storte lyk nie goed nie en volgens my moet die plek 'n oordoen kry. Die uitsig oor die rivier is so mooi en die dit skep so n rustige atmosfeer dat dit so JAMMER is dat die res nie aandag kry nie.

Not stayed. We went looking for alternative accommodation.

The setting is beautiful with the river and the photos are beautiful on the website. The unit we were to sleep in was not attractive at all and I had no desire to sleep over there after a long day of driving. The coffee station's sugar had been eaten by what I think was a mouse and in one corner of the room excrement from the animal could be seen. The bedding does not look good and the pillows that decorate the bed are torn and in my opinion very old. Showers don't look good and in my opinion the place needs a makeover. The view over the river is so beautiful and it creates such a peaceful atmosphere that it is such a SAD that the rest doesn't get attention.

Rustigheid langs die rivier na 'n lang dag op die pad is perfek!

Na 'n lang dag op die pad was dit lekker gewees om by die plekkie uit te slaan! Ons het in die tent geslaap vir een aand wat letterlik reg op die rivier is. Die tent is baie gemaklik en groot. Die kos was van die beste wat ek in 'n lang tyd gehad het en die pryse was spotgoedkoop vir sulke lekker kos! Die ontvangsdame was amazing en ja, sy mag maar kook! Dit was 'n stunning pitstop gewees waar ek het heeltemal kon ontspan langs die stunning Oranje rivier.

Serenity by the river after a long day on the road is perfect!

After a long day on the road it was nice to pop out of the place! We slept in the tent for one night which is literally right on the river. The tent is very comfortable and large. The food was some of the best I've had in a long time and the prices were dirt cheap for such good food! The receptionist was amazing and yes, she can cook! It had been a stunning pit stop where I could completely relax next to the stunning Orange river.

Pragtige ligging en vriendelike diens.

Die enigste doring in die vlees was dat die "kok" aangedring het op 'n fooitjie via die kelner. Vind die versoek onaanvaarbaar. Fooitjies word bepaal deur diens vir die person wat die dens lewer - nie 'n kok wat nooit 'n verskyning gemaak het nie?

Wat die ster-toekenning aanbetref het ek hulle te veel gegee. Totale teleurstelling, sal my en my vriende nooit weer sien nie.

Yskas vir 'n kamer. Beddegoed so dun soos laken vir daai koue wêreld. Rou concrete vloere. Vuil. Een ekstra kombers wat ek twyfel of 'n hond op dit sal slaap. Warm kombers sonder muurprop. Gaan kyk by A Dams View hoe dit moet lyk. Ek het na ek die kamer gesien het die sleutel by ontvangs gaan sit, in my kar geklim en gery. Het my dood geskaam om my vrou in so plek te laat slaap en vir my 'n plek by A Dams view gekry.

As regards the star allocation I gave them too many. Total disappointment, they will never see us again.

The room is freezing. Linen as thin as a sheet and that in a part of the country that is so cold. Raw concrete floors. Dirty. One extra blanket, not even a dog would use it probably. Electric blanket but no wall socket. Have a look at A Dams View to see how it is supposed to be done. After having a look at my room I took my key to reception, got in my car and drove away. I was totally embarrassed to let my wife sleep in a place like this, so I booked A Dams view instead.

Ek was aangenaam verras met die atmosfeer, diens en omgewing. En ek het sommer dadelik tuis en ontspanne gevoel. Ons verblyf by Waschbank was 'n "great" ervaring en ek sal definitief weer teruggaan soontoe!

Baie mooi uitsig, kamers is gerieflik, personeel is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam, baie lekker kos wat aangebied word.

Twee onderskeie aande daar geslaap. Ons is elke keer baie vriendelik ontvang. Die kamers is nie baie groot nie, maar gerieflik en die nodigste is daar. Die personeel is baie vriendelik. Die aandete wat aangebied word as jy daar wil eet, is baie aangenaam. Dit is 'n baie ontspanne atmosfeer en jy kan lekker ontspan met 'n drankie in die hand terwyl jy kyk na die sonsondergang oor die Oranjerivier.

Very nice view, rooms are comfortable, staff are very friendly and helpful, very good food on offer.

Slept there two separate nights. We were received very kindly every time. The rooms are not very big, but comfortable and the essentials are there. The staff is very friendly. The dinner offered if you want to eat there is very pleasant. It's a very relaxed atmosphere and you can relax with a drink in hand while watching the sunset over the Orange River.

Rustige stil plek.

Ek sal net aanraai om asb. in die chalets kerse en Doom aan te hou omrede die muggies baie gepla het, ons het wel die vensters toegehou, maar daar het wel tog ingekom met die braaiery buite, soos met die deur na buite oopmaak as jy na binne of buite wil beweeg. Dit was glad nie vir ons lekker nie, veral omdat ons geen Doom by ons gehad het in die voertuig nie, ek het twee kerse van my uit die kar gehaal en dit het baie gehelp later.

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

Peaceful, quiet place.

I just recommend putting candles and Doom in the chalets as the gnats were a nuisance, we kept the windows closed, but some of them entered when we were braaiing outside, like when we had to open the door to go outside. Was such a nuisance, especially since we didn't have Doom with us in the car, I took two candles from the car and that helped quite a bit later.

Ongerep.

Pragtig geleë op die wal van die Gariepdam. Wees net bedag dat die tent geen elektrisiteit het vir bv. haardroër nie. As die wind waai of dit reën kan mens nie braai nie en die tent beskik ook nie oor selfsorg-opsie.

Beautiful location on the bank of a dam. Just note that your tent won't have any electricity for e.g. the hairdryer. When it's raining one can't braai and the tent also doesn't have a self-catering option.

Kamer was baie netjies. Die stort-ervaring was aaklig, die water was of kokend warm of heeltemal koud, geen middel temperatuur nie. Ons moes 45 minute wag vir die ontbyt. Daar was net een kelner met 20 persone wat moes ontbyt kry. Dit was heeltemal ongeorganiseerd. Kry hulp as dit besig is!

Die kos wat vir ons voorberei was deur bestuurderes was lekker, maar die slaap en bad glad nie lekker nie!

Die kamer is geskik vir 8 gaste, maar net een kan stort of bad, dan is die water yskoud, die geyser is heeltemal te klein. Die huisie het vreeslik erg na vuurrook geruik, baie onaangenaam, kan nie vuur maak in die kaggel nie, rook trek in al die kamers in wat oop is en wat afgeskort is met afskortings. Die huisie was verskriklik koud, die beddens is al deurgeslaap. Sal nie weer daar slaap nie. Mooi uitsig oor die rivier by die restaurant en die kos was lekker. Behalwe die ontbyt kan definitief opgeknap word met 'n beter verskeidenheid van keuses.

The food the manageress made for us was delicious, but the sleeping and bath arrangements were no fun!

The room is suitable for 8 guests, but only one can shower or bath and then the water is ice cold. The geyser is way too small. The house smelled of smoke, which was quite unpleasant. We couldn't light a fire in the fireplace, because the smoke would go in to all the rooms that were open and separated by partitions. The house was extremely cold, the beds are old and we will never sleep over there again. Beautiful view of the river at the restaurant and the food was good. Except the breakfast which could be improved with a wider variety of food choices.

Groot potensiaal, maar het baie werk nodig.

Nuwe bestuur het baie werk met opgradering. Daar is 'n plafon-paneel wat gaan uitval, 'n deur wat nie sluit nie en afwerking wat aandag moet kry. Die badkamer en vloere moet drasties opgradeer word. Dit gaan baie moeilik wees om die "rustic"-voorkoms skoon te laat voorkom.

This review is being shown in its original language.

A lot of potential, but needs a lot of work.

New management has a lot of work regarding upgrades. There is a ceiling panel that is going to fall out, a door that doesn't lock and finishes that need attention. The bathroom and floors needs to be upgraded. It will be difficult to have the rustic appearance seem clean again.

Not great value for money.

The accommodation is advertised as luxury accommodation. No power is available at the tent to power a fan or air-con as it was very hot and sleep was impossible. Coffee facilities is provided but with no power, a kettle cannot be used. Help and attitude of staff not great. Maybe the rooms are a better option. A set menu with chicken curry as dinner in 38 degree temperatures is not advisable.

Kon nie vir beter vra nie.

Aan die eienaar (James as ek reg onthou), ek wil vir jou dankie sê vir jul voortreflike diens. Alhoewel jou klein seuntjie in die hospitaal was, het jy nogsteeds uit jou pad gegaan om ons te bedien. Ek hoop en vertrou jou seuntjie is weer gesond. Jou bestuurder (Friday) verdien ook erkenning vir sy gasvryheid. Baie geniet by julle. My tiener dogter soek natuurlik meer opwinding, maar ons het die aand buite op komberse gelê en na die sterre gekyk en het dit baie geniet.

I hope and trust your boy is well again. Your manager (Friday) also deserves recognition for his hospitality. Have fun with you. Of course, my teenage daughter is looking for more excitement, but we spent the evening outside on blankets looking at the stars and really enjoyed it.

Vriendelike ontvangs!

Vriendelike ontvangs deur Friday (bestuurder), meer sigbare aanwysings na ontvangs kan tog help. Ons het Karoo-kos op spyskaart verwag vir aandete, maar ander disse is opgedien wat ook smaaklik was. Beveel tog aan dat wit wyn in yskas gehou word. Die eienaars is self betrokke by daaglikse bestuur van lodge en baie vriendelik. Pragtige ligging en rustig. Lodge skoon en netjies. Prys is baie bekostigbaar en sal Waschbank aanbeveel. Goed geleë en op hoofroete na Noorde/Kaapstad.

Gariep is 'n goeie oornagplek, maar die akkommodasie was teleurstellend.

Gariep is nagenoeg aan die middel tussen die Kaap en Pretoria om die reis in twee minder vermoeiende trekke op te deel. Dit is naby genoeg aan die N1 om gou af te draai, maar ver genoeg om rustigheid te bied. Die plaas-akkommodasie sukkel om aan die verwagting te voldoen wat op die webtuiste geskep is. Met die afdraai skep die verweerde ou kennisgewingborde reeds nie die indruk van ʼn “Lodge” nie. Die stowwerige plaaspaadjie tussen die bosse en landerye deur tot by die akkommodasie mag ook vir sommige nie geval nie. Hoewel die rivier wel ‘n afkoelgeleentheid bied vir die manmoedige gaste, is die toegang daartoe riskant en kan dit nie as plaasvervanger vir ‘n swembad dien nie. Die boustyl van die eenhede verleen ‘n sekere karakter met gedeeltelik onderdakstoepe waar lekker gekuier kan word. Dit skep daarmee saam ongelukkig ander probleme: - Die agt slaap-eenheid is ‘n reghoekige oopplan-struktuur met panele wat aparte slaapvertrekke afskort sonder om regtig werklik privaatheid te bied. - Die platdak-struktuur sonder plafonne te same met die vensters teen die dak dra daartoe by dat die lugversorgers sukkel om die oopplan-vertrek af te koel. Vakansiegangers wat nie net na ‘n oorslaapgeleentheid opsoek is nie, maar ‘n “Lodge” of vakansiehuisies met pragtige vistas op die rivier verwag, sal dalk voel dat hul elders beter kan doen.

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

Gariep is a good overnight stop, but the accommodation was disappointing.

Gariep is almost halfway between the Cape and Pretoria to divide the journey into two less tiring treks. It is close enough to the N1 to turn off quickly, but far enough to offer tranquility. The farm accommodation struggles to live up to the expectations created on the website. When you turn down, the weathered old notice boards no longer create the impression of a "Lodge". The dusty farm path between the woods and fields up to the accommodation may also not appeal to some. Although the river does offer a cooling opportunity for the brave guests, accessing it is risky and cannot serve as a substitute for a swimming pool. The building style of the units lends them a certain character with partially covered verandas where you can have fun. Unfortunately, this also creates other problems: - The eight-bedroom unit is a rectangular open-plan structure with panels that partition off separate bedrooms without really offering any real privacy. - The flat-roofed structure without ceilings together with the windows on the roof contribute to the fact that the air conditioners struggle to cool the open-plan room. Holidaymakers who are not only looking for an overnight stay, but expect a "Lodge" or holiday cottages with beautiful vistas on the river, may feel that they can do better elsewhere.

Baie netjiese plek om te oornag as jy slaapplek soek nadat jy ver gery het, maar sal ook daar kan bly vir langer om die Oranjerivier te geniet op 'n kano! Baie mooi.

Ate and slept very well.

Very neat place to spend the night if you are looking for a place to sleep after driving far, but would also be able to stay there for longer to enjoy the Orange River on a canoe! Very pretty.

Koud, maar warm en gerieflik in die kamer.

Miskien kan die personeel die verwarmer so 'n uur voor aankoms aanskakel, sodat die kamer lekker warm is by aankoms.

Cold, but warm and comfortable in the room.

Maybe the staff can turn on the heater about an hour before arrival, so that the room is nice and warm on arrival.

Heerlik, wonderlik.

Ons het regtig baie lekker gekuier. Siel, gees en liggaam het uitgerus. Ons het baie plekke rondom besoek en was dus ook baie leersaam. Die hoogtepunt was die besoek aan die damwal waar ons tot onder geneem is en die sluis oopgemaak is. Asemrowend. Die eienaars was baie gawe mense, het heerlik gesels. Die personeel gaan uit hul pad om dit vir jou aangenaam te maak.

Great, wonderful.

We really had a great time. Soul, mind and body rested. We visited many places around and were therefore also very informative. The highlight was the visit to the dam wall where we were taken to the bottom and the lock was opened. Breathtaking. The owners were very nice people, had a great conversation. The staff go out of their way to make it pleasant for you.

Ons verblyf was teleurstellend.

Die spyskaart was baie beperk, nie soos wat dit op die foto's geadverteer is nie. Die kamers is verdeel met "pre-fab" mure wat geen privaatheid bied nie, mens kan alles hoor wat in die ander kamers aangaan. Ons motors het geskraap oor een van die bruggies waaroor ons moes ry. Daarom net die 3 sterre vir die ligging. Slegs 'n 4x4 sal nie skraap nie. Die omgewing is pragtig, maar kon soveel beter benut word met beter akkommodasie. Ons dogter se bed was teen slaaptyd so oortrek van die muggies dat sy nie daar kon slaap nie. Dink die rietdak was die probleem. Die advertensie van die spyskaart, wat 'n baie groter verskeidenheid getoon het, het toe nie gerealiseer nie. Ons het 'n keuse van twee geregte gehad vir aandete.

Our stay was disappointing.

The menu was very limited, not as advertised in the photos. The rooms are divided with "pre-fab" walls that offer no privacy, one can hear everything that goes on in the other rooms. Our cars scraped over one of the bridges we had to drive over. Therefore only the 3 stars for the location. Only a 4x4 won't scrape. The setting is beautiful, but could be used so much better with better accommodation. Our daughter's bed was so covered with mosquitoes at bedtime that she could not sleep there. Think the thatched roof was the problem. The advertisement of the menu, which showed a much larger variety, did not materialize at the time. We had a choice of two dishes for dinner.

Die slaapplek was mooi, maar die eenhede was swak.

Ons het Sondagmiddag teen sesuur daar aangekom net om uit te vind daar word glad nie ete op Sondae bedien nie. Dit was nie so geadverteer nie en ons moes elders kos soek. Die ontbyt het ook geen spek gehad nie.

The accommodation was nice, but the units were poor.

We got there on Sunday afternoon at six o'clock only to find out that no food is served on Sundays at all. It was not as advertised and we had to find food elsewhere. The breakfast also had no bacon.

The accommodation is beautiful and spacious with great views of the river and the sound of water running gently over the rapids is really soothing. All round a great experience that we would recommend at any time. Thanks.

A challenge for me was the open space (no enclosed bedrooms> especially if you travel with friends, it feels that privacy is not accommodated. Otherwise, a good lodge.

Skoon, eenvoudige verblyf vir die reisiger wat die meer basiese tipe akkommodasie verkies.

Wel, wat sal ek sê? Ek het meer verwag, maar vir een aand se oorslaap was dit heeltemal voldoende. Die pad is heel stowwerig en nie geskik vir lae of luukse voertuie nie. Die pad het 'n bietjie aandag nodig en die hek wat jy self moet oopskuif beweeg heeltemal te moeilik. Parkering is nie onderdak en jou motor staan langs ander motors. Gelukkig het ek met my Golf 4 (waaroor ek nie te veel hoef om te gee nie) gereis. Die eenhede laat my dink aan die bosveld met die gladde blink sementvloer en diervelmatjies. Die afwerking is heel eenvoudig tog netjies en funksioneel, alhoewel daar geen TV en radio is nie. Die basiese geriewe werk goed. Die restaurant is netjies en het 'n aangename atmosfeer. Die kos was van hoë gehalte en die personeel vriendelik. Die algehele atmosfeer is aangenaam en rustig.

Clean, simple accommodation for the traveler who prefers the more basic type of accommodation.

Well, what shall I say? I expected more, but for one night's sleepover it was perfectly adequate. The road is very dusty and not suitable for low or luxury vehicles. The road needs some attention and the gate that you have to slide open yourself is far too difficult to move. Parking is not covered and your car is next to other cars. Fortunately, I was traveling with my Golf 4 (which I don't care too much about). The units remind me of the woodland with the smooth shiny cement floor and animal skin mats. The finish is very simple yet neat and functional, although there is no TV and radio. The basic facilities work well. The restaurant is neat and has a pleasant atmosphere. The food was of high quality and the staff friendly. The overall atmosphere is pleasant and peaceful.
