A nice comfortable room.

Very happy with the stay here. The room was clean and spacious with efficient service, even late on a Friday. Thanks!

Relaxing, family-orientated and good hospitality.

Firstly, we would like to thank our hosts for such a warm welcome and all the patience they had with us. Just a point of concession from us was that we were given older rooms that were not clean, noting that the place was closed and only had us. We had hoped that we would get better accommodation. Noting that the electricity situation needs to improve, but we do know that they have plans already! Other than that, we really felt like we were welcomed and we were treated with so much care. Thank you to all that contributed to this.

Wonderlike herinneringe!

Ons was teruggevoer na 30 jaar gelede toe ons ons bruilofvieringe by die destydse Wayside Inn gehad het. Baie dankie, Pierre en jou span! 'n Mens kan julle harde werk en toewyding om die prag plekkie weer te laat lewe in alles sien. Ons waardeer julle gasvryheid en moeite om ons gemaklik en ontspanne te laat voel. Dankie dat ons ook saam met jou 'n terugblik in die geskiedenis van die "Wayside" kon beleef. Ons het weer nuwe herinneringe gemaak.

Wonderful memories!

We were transported back to 30 years ago when we had our wedding celebrations at the then Wayside Inn. Thank you very much, Pierre and your team! One can see your hard work and dedication to bring the beautiful place back to life in everything. We appreciate your hospitality and effort to make us feel comfortable and relaxed. Thank you for allowing us to experience the history of the "Wayside" together with you. We made new memories again.

Pragtige natuurskoon.

Netjiese en gerieflike eenheid en oord. Waarde vir geld, sal Wayside beslis aanbeveel.

Die kuier was glad nie wat ons verwag het nie, die eenheid was yskoud en daar is geen verwarmer nie.

Geen televisie in kamer wat dit moeilik gemaak het aangesien daar 'n groep van kontrakteurs gebly het wat die hele plek oorgeneem het. Met aankoms was daar aan ons genoem dat daar 14 kontrakteurs bly wat ons aanvaanklik nie gepla het nie. Die eienaar het drank aan hulle verskaf alhoewel dit nie nou wettig is nie. Hulle het die hele middag buite ons kamer gesit en drink en hulle soos barbare gedra. Dit voel asof die eienaar nie meer belangstel nie, veral nie om te sorg dat die gaste tevrede is nie.

The visit was not at all what we expected, the unit was freezing cold and there is no heater.

No television in room which made it difficult as there was a group of contractors staying who took over the whole place. On arrival it was mentioned to us that there were 14 contractors staying which at first did not bother us. The owner provided them with liquor even though it is not legal now. They sat outside our room all afternoon drinking and behaving like barbarians. It feels like the owner is no longer interested, especially not in making sure the guests are satisfied.

Uitstekend! Ongelooflike gasvryheid, netheid, veiligheid. Ons gaan beslis gereelde besoekers daar wees.

Wayside Lodge het al my en my ma se verwagtinge oortref. In die pragtige natuurskoon, kon ons rustigheid beleef. Sowel as uitstekende gasvryheid vanaf Pierre en Sally Ann, sy vrou. Die kos is van hoogstaande gehalte. Die eenhede is perfek skoon en gemaklik. Baie baie dankie vir 'n ongelooflike vakansie. Ons sien julle weer binnekort.

Outstanding! Amazing hospitality, cleanliness, safety. We will definitely be regular visitors there.

Wayside Lodge exceeded all my and my mother's expectations. In the beautiful scenery, we could experience tranquility. As well as excellent hospitality from Pierre and Sally Ann, his wife. The food is of high quality. The units are perfectly clean and comfortable. Thank you very much for an incredible holiday. We will see you again soon.

Dit was nou 'n lekker rustige naweek om net te rus!

Die plek is pragtig, skoon en ons het die swembad ten volle geniet, veral die kinders. Baie gaaf en behulpsame eienaar, sal dit aanbeveel vir enige iemand wat net wil weg kom en bietjie gaan rus.

It was a nice quiet weekend to just rest!

The place is beautiful, clean and we thoroughly enjoyed the pool, especially the children. Very nice and helpful owner, would recommend to anyone who just wants to get away and have some rest.

Uiters aangenaam.

Wat 'n aangename ondervinding. Die enigste iets wat ek sou toevoeg, is dat 'n groter aanwysingsbord by die indraai aangebring word. Ons het na donker arriveer en was effens verward.

Very pleasant.

What a pleasant experience. The only thing I would add is that a larger signboard is added to the door. We arrived after dark and were slightly confused.

Good day Annette,

Thank you for the great review and it was a pleasure hosting you.
As we speak I am busy building a big wall for more signage as per your suggestion to make us more visible at our entrance.

Hope to see you all soon
Thank you Pierre
