Dit was vir ons 'n halfweg-stop. Lekker kos met 'n bottel wyn by restaurant geniet.

Dit was baie koud en die deur het openings aan die kante en bo. Maar die bed was lekker warm. Lekker warm gestort.

Comfortable for a stopover, especially if you are towing a caravan or trailer.

Just ok.

The stay was good but there are things one must consider once you want to stay there, especially chalet no 4 and no 5. There is DSTV, so watching TV via the aerial is a big challenge if you want to watch. Bring your own tea, staff, and toilet paper as we were told that you only get it once when you arrive and that is all. No room cleaning while you are there, no heater or aircon especially if you go there now because it is a thatched roof. Bring some spray to control spiders and other insects as you will be greeted by them. The shower at no 4 is big enough but the shower head doesn't make it possible to enjoy showering. The wardrobe needs some attention inside as it is falling because of age maybe. At least the staff there is very helpful, and if you ask for a microwave oven, they will supply, as well as the plates, fork, and knife. But you won't get them in Room 4 and 5, so ask for them if you're going to need them. Unfortunately, the plates are too big for the microwave oven if you want to warm your food. The food at the bar lounge or restaurant is nice, and the cafe also sells almost every essential you might need, and the staff is very helpful. I like the place, but you have to know a few things about it before you go. I will go there again, but at least I will be prepared. My team and I enjoyed the putt-putt golf.

Convenient clean over-night stay.

The accommodation was clean and comfortable. The establishment is situated next to a tar road, and traffic could be heard, which is understandable. We selected this as a convenient overnight spot on a long drive, and for this, it was perfect. There are bar and restaurant services, which we did not use. Although we were there on a Friday evening, it was quiet.

Baie, baie lekker.

Hulle moet net na die geisers kyk. Hulle yskaste sit hulle af om kostes te bespaar as daar nie mense is nie maar moet dit aansit vroeg, voor 'n mens inklok.

They just have to look at the geysers. They turn off their fridges to save costs when there are no people but must turn them on early, before one checks in.

Teleurstellend.

Eerstens het hulle ons in die verkeerde chalet geplaas en ons moes R600 ekstra betaal het vir die 3 aande se verblyf. Die wasbak waar jy jou skottelgoed moet was is in die badkamer. Die kombuistoerusting was vuil. Die yskas was af so al ons goed in die yskas het ontvries. Die braai was vuil toe ons hom ontvang het en moes hom self was. Die bar is reg by die chalets en musiek speel tot laat in die aande wat maak dat mens nie kan slaap nie. Daar is geen stoele buite by jou chalet nie so jy moet op die vloer sit en braai. Die geyser werk nie 100% nie so die water bly koud raak as jy stort. Die putt-putt-baan werk nie behoorlik nie. Daar is amper niks om te doen daar nie. Glad nie 'n stil plek nie. Dit is langs 'n hoofpad so karre raas konstant. Overall was ons glad nie tevrede met die plek nie en sal die aan geen ander verwys nie.

Disappointing.

First of all they put us in the wrong chalet and we had to pay R600 extra for the 3 nights stay. The sink where you have to wash your dishes is in the bathroom. The kitchen equipment was dirty. The fridge was off so all our stuff in the fridge defrosted. The braai was dirty when we received it and had to wash it ourselves. The bar is right by the chalets and music plays until late in the evenings which makes it impossible to sleep. There are no chairs outside at your chalet so you have to sit on the floor and barbecue. The geyser does not work 100% so the water keeps getting cold when you take a shower. The putt-putt course is not working properly. There is almost nothing to do there. Not a quiet place at all. It is next to a main road so cars make constant noise. Overall we were not at all satisfied with the place and will not refer it to anyone else.

Expected much more and better.

The first unit we were admitted to had a bed so broken it was impossible to sleep there and my 77-year-old mother asked if we could get another bed, then we were moved to a unit without a fridge and without a microwave, broken kettle, no crockery apart from 3 mugs and glasses, the TV they also claimed was knocked out by the weather earlier in the day when there was no weather and when we asked for breakfast they said they don't open until 11am and we have to leave already at 10 o'clock. Got towels smaller than guest washcloths, we were really disappointed, the place was clean but facilities not up to standard. The time was very disappointing.

Sommer 'n vinnige wegbreek gehad met ou vriende. Oulike plekkie vir 'n kortkuier. Goed toegerus en die eienaars is regte hartsmense. Dit was net sjoe-sjoe koud maar die verwarmers en ekstra komberse het ons gou laat ontdooi! (of was dit die sjerrie?)

Poor house keeping.

The owners were very friendly and welcoming. Customer service was very poor to say the least.There were spider webs on every corner of the house,the windows were also covered in spider webs. We stayed for 3 nights and our bedding was not changed, no clean towels were supplied, no toilet paper provided, no mop to clean if you spilled water on the floor. House keeping is so poor! I brought my DStv decoder and there was no satellite dish. Luckily this was a business trip and I spend most of the time out,otherwise I was not going to be able to stay for that long. I would prefer if the reception area was separated from the bar because it's not convenient if travelling with kids.

Our stay at Wawiel Country Lodge was very very very bad.

I would never never recommend it to anyone, they don't have courtesy, the accommodation is very very bad. Toilets, bathrooms and roofing are leaking. Electricity problems (plugs were not working) we prepared beds for our selves (with old bedding). Their kraals are just next to the rooms and there is a terrible smell coming towards the rooms. The management is not welcoming (they are very impolite). I regret. I don't recommend it to anyone.

The stay was so uncomfortable with family as I didn't feel like I'm on holiday and I had to cut my nights short, the lady was so unfriendly, my kids didn't enjoy the pool. I won't recommend anyone to go stay at that place.

Wawiel Country Lodge is 'n heerlike plek om te oornag.

Wawiel Country Lodge bied uitstekende verblyf. Hulle het ook 'n restaurant wat baie goeie maaltye teen billike pryse bedien. Hulle is omtrent 10 km uit Ventersdorp, ietwat van roete af, maar dit het nie gehinder nie. Die pad is nogal besig in die nag en word gehoor in die chalets. Die chalets is baie netjies en gerieflik.

We know there are insects etc. in the outdoors however my daughter was badly bitten indoors and we think in her bed. When we requested clean bedding we were made to feel unwelcome and staff and management were rude. We had to check-out by 10:00. We left a little after 10:00 and had to leave the keys in the cabin as reception gate was locked and there was no one to let us out.
