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.

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.

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.
Definitely not for people who like comfort. Breakfast was delicious but does not make up for the uncomfortable unit. Photos are misleading because they are taken with a wide lens.

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. The food is top notch and good value for money. I will always stay here on my way to the Eastern or Western Cape. Thank you for your hospitality.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thank you for the feed back, we are in the process of upgrading the unit bathrooms for the year of 2020. 2019 we did the rooms and bedding. Was lovely to meet you and hope you will visit as again to see the changes. All the best for 2020.
Kind regards,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Very nice place.
All that can be improved is the bed, it's very uncomfortable.

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.

Beautiful place with hospitable people.
Everything was special; I would only recommend that you replace the mattresses because the mattress in the unit we were in was done.

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

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.
