71 guests' feedbackWe were pleasantly surprised with our stay at Aldam. Very friendly reception. Clean and tidy rondavel with the most beautiful view over the dam. The restaurant and its staff were very friendly and their service was great! The caravan park's cleanliness impressed us and is a camper's dream. We will definitely visit Aldam again.
There was a power and water problem, but I was made aware of it early on. Reception - good. There was 65l of water outside and inside the unit. Management came to inquire about cell phone charging and brought a portable light for use. Even though we were the only guests, we were able to get dinner at the restaurant. Great service!
Great relaxing and great wildlife viewing. Enjoy.
Aldam Holiday Resort is very nicely situated on the hill overlooking Aldam dam. Bia nimble and fast service with any queries. The chalets are very well equipped against the cold winter mornings.
Very nicely situated in the hills around Aldam with a beautiful view over the dam. Reception was great and any queries were answered immediately. It can get very cold in the winter months, but the units are nice and warm.
What a wonderful stay at Aldam Holiday Resort and Conference. We were lucky enough to stay in the Director's House, and it was truly amazing. Spacious, beautiful views, and beautifully decorated. Real value for money.
Grounds are run down but can recommend the Directors House. Lovely accommodation with a fantastic view.
Very nice camp organized there. Enjoy it.
The room was tidy with everything you need. The bathroom is very cramped.
Wasn’t too clear info and photos of the room and where it is. There were better houses allocated with a beautiful view. Anyway, the place was big, two rooms but very old. My husband really enjoyed the place, brought him a lot of memories from his childhood. I thought that the place needs a new bathroom and modern WiFi.
We had a very nice stay. There is plenty to do for young and old.
It was quiet and very peaceful. I could rest well. Will definitely go again. Everything was clean and tidy.
Neat and clean with a well maintained campsite.
It's just a shame that Aldam can't be renovated more. Everything is clean and tidy, but a lot of maintenance work is needed - such as repainting the information boards, tennis courts etc. Towels and bed linen are old and frayed. The view is beautiful over the dam, the shop is good and the chalets are clean and tidy. It's lovely for a short break.
It was very pleasant. Got more than I expected. Our unit did not have braai tongs. Would be great if management could take out some of the seringas.
We were surprised that the pool was out of water. The school group behaved very well. Compliments to the teachers/supervisors. The lawns were parched, creating quite a morbid atmosphere.
Good value. The place is however very dated. Air con didn't work, 2-plate stove was either red hot or cold, knobs just turned. TV didn't work properly. But for R900 bed and breakfast, it gave exactly what it was supposed to.
Very neat unit.
Beautiful view from the restaurant. Don't book the luxury chalet out of season - no view over the dam. Out of season, it had a bit of an abandoned feel.
Was delicious! But put-put course had debris on it and was not maintained. Luxury unit, but short bedside table on left of double bed please. Furthermore beautiful, clean units, incredible potential as a resort.
We had a very nice stay.
Very nice stay. I was there 30 years back, so one should not compare it to when we were children. It's definitely not the same. Here and there can definitely be renovated. I know everything costs money and is not always possible.
Very nice stay. I was able to rest!
Very nice stay with good service.
It was wonderful. A bit full but definitely worth the effort and money.
Nice stay, will go again.
The environment is beautiful but the infrastructure needs updating. The restaurant staff was very friendly, but the rest of the staff were unfriendly and unhelpful.
I was already home the 1st. Couldn't take it anymore.
Accommodation was really beautiful and the staff was really amazing. Assisted you straight away. The cleaning lady came every morning to see if we needed anything. The whole resort is really neat and well upgraded.
Gardens were neat. The view on the dam is beautiful.
It can be a gem of a vacation destination. If it works, it's just old.
It was good to be here.
Was there during quiet time, almost no other visitors. Friendly reception and adequate accommodation. Very nice views over dam. Nice meal at restaurant.
Chalets were nice and clean, towels and bedding were neat and clean. Beautiful after all the summer rains the dam overflowed, we had a great time fishing.
It was our first time and we were very surprised with how nice and convenient it was. We enjoyed a lot.
Marvelous! Refreshing.
Relaxed, quiet, peaceful place.
Everything was nice except that we didn't stand under any trees and there were plenty of places to stand near trees.
Very nice and peaceful.
I enjoy everything about it and I will book again for the whole family for New year eve.
Reception and customer service were excellent. However, the two-bedroom "luxury" unit needed attention. It might have been described as luxury quite a few years ago, as there are clear signs of lack of maintenance - tap heads coming loose and muddy water initially coming out of the taps. The general impression of the resort is that it could do with basic maintenance. The beds were comfortable and basic amenities were adequate. A bonus of the unit in question (#20) was the view over the dam and it was within walking distance of the restaurant. The on-site shop provides basic necessities. The resort is ideal for accommodation when considering a visit to the Willem Pretorius reserve. However, the rate for the specific unit is not in line with other more luxurious self-catering options in the same category.
No shower in the standard rooms.
I would come very soon with family and a group of friends.
The bed in unit 1 has reached the end of its life.
If they can just have backup for loadshedding.
We were very disappointed in the general appearance and maintenance of the unit we stayed in. Everything there was just terribly outdated. The bathrooms will definitely need to be upgraded and the furniture replaced. The kitchen was surprisingly well equipped. We had a lovely stay but it was not up to the same standard as we were used to with them in the past. The Putt-Putt course really needs revision and the red ants also bit us while we were playing.
Our stay over the Easter weekend was comfortable, but our standard accommodation needs attention. The unit was clean, but old fashioned as in photos. Fridge was old and didn't seal properly, microwave stained. The water was brown. Although the buildings on the resort needed renovation, the grounds were clean and relatively well cared for. The restaurant and small shop provided good service. We were comfortable, but for the price, I don't feel the accommodation was up to standard.
The chalets and roads need to be renovated.
We feel the management is not dynamic.
How can this place call itself a resort when everything, and I mean everything, shuts at four in the afternoon? Our so-called luxury chalet probably was luxurious in the 1950s. Felt sorry for the catering staff. They were great, when they were open, and should be working somewhere better. The woman in reception needs to go on a course.
Nice meal in the bar/outside lapa with a view of the pond. The dam was 102% full so the runout was nice.
Only problem I had was that everything was far apart. I was travelling a lot within the resort. The place is quite big.
It's a wonderful place.
Bit more wheelchair friendly.
I don't have complaints. Nice experience with my family.
What stunning views from our chalet. Loved the peace and quiet. Will come again.
See stars.
Winter is obviously not the perfect time to visit, but even so we enjoyed it. Nice to see maintenance being done on the facilities.
Had a very nice weekend at Aldam Holiday Resort & Conference where we camped. Very nice view, good facilities and activities.
We stayed in the Directors House which is a wonderful property. However, we stayed in the house most of the time. The resort's facilities are in very poor condition. The shop also doesn't even have fresh milk or ice cream as advertised. The swimming pool is not attractive at all - looks like old water.
No walk-in shower. Loose tiles in bathroom. No fan or air vent. Noisy neighbors on 24 Sep 2022. Old carpets.
No more maintenance is done. The service at the resturant is poor, ran because no one wanted to help us with our food order.
When we arrived with another person who is our colleague, he was told to leave within 30 minutes because day visitors are not allowed. Why were we not informed of this when inquiries were made? The receptionist with her colleague was very rude.
Fix the electric appliances, ensure that you have a back up light for loadshedding or even insert rechargeable bulbs.
The place is peaceful.
Facilities are not as tidy as we thought, worthless in some aspects.
Aldam is/was a beautiful resort, but the lack of maintenance is destroying it completely. The place is in poor condition.
It appears that the necessary maintenance and upkeep is lacking. No kitchen cloths or drying cloths were provided. The bedding and towels did not smell clean. We'd rather give it a miss next time.
