Had a great stay, thankful that air conditioning worked, thank you.
The reception was prompt and extremely friendly. We had a very nice stay after a long drive.
Very nice overnight stay. Cute place.
Fantastic value for money.
It is a very neat, clean room with all the necessary facilities for an overnight stay. Would definitely recommend it. Beautiful, clean environment outside. Lovely swimming pool and a restaurant with the most delicious food. An OK shop at the resort. Very secure parking for your car behind a locked gate.
Very nice! Neat, comfortable!
Nice as always. Friendly, great service.
Thank you for a lovely clean room, good location and easy access to the resort. Would recommend for an overnight stay.
Fantastic. Clean, tidy room and excellent facilities.
We only stay at Gariep Inn every time we travel.
Very nice and safe, friendly staff and food at the restaurant fantastic.
Nice stay, except for the bar fridge while photos of chalets show otherwise.
Very helpful. Felt very much at home.
We had a nice stay. My only small problem was that I could hear the neighbors on either side talking and coughing.
Fabulous stay& nice!
The rooms are neat and safe.
Very nice stay. Clean and tidy.
Room and parking lot are neat and safe.
We had a very nice stay. Everything needed is there. Clean and tidy.
The chalet at the accommodation was comfortable, everything was neat and clean.
I always stay at Gariep Inn. Very neat places, friendly service.
The stay was very good.
We were very satisfied with the friendliness of the staff, and the accommodation exceeded our expectations.
Clean and tidy accommodation with everything you need. The DSTV's picture was just very bad, you couldn't really watch TV. Will stay there again.
Gariep Inn is a very nice and peaceful resort. Has all the basic necessities and close to everything. The unit is clean and tidy. Will definitely use them again.
Friendly and helpful staff. Room is neat and clean.
Easy access from freeway. Close to restaurants and shops.
The accommodation was comfortable and met all our needs.
See stars.
A nice safe overnight place with good food.
Lovely, the rooms were very nice.
Ideal place to stay overnight.
Clean, tidy, safe accommodation.
We had a great stay and it's the perfect place to spend the night.
Very nice and clean, good stop if you are on your way to Cape Town. The shower water just had a smell. I am not sure if it is borehole water.
Very nice and comfortable.
Very impressed with the cleanliness of the unit and the unit itself. There is a restaurant on site, Tjailatyd, which serves delicious food and provides good service. It was a great relief for us that we didn't have to drive again in search of a restaurant. The accommodation met all our requirements.
Perfect little thing to sleep in after a long day on the road. Peaceful, calm and quiet.
Awesome it includes everything. This is our 5th or 6th time and there will be more. goes out of her way to help and is customer service oriented. Thank you.
Comfortable. Safe. Clean.
Chalet was very clean, only issue was that there were plenty of ants. The next morning our tin of rusks was full of ants, otherwise all good and clean.
The management is friendly and helpful. The location is perfect. The facilities are excellent.
It is a safe and well-located stopover if you are traveling to the Cape or East Coast.
The unit is being upgraded, and most units are already done. I was in unit 4, it was comfortable, clean and had fresh linen. However, there is an urgent need for paint, new towels and curtains in the sleeping area where the neighbors barbecue meat. There must please storage space for toiletries in the bathroom. The open corner space can be filled with shelves. The fridge wall plug next to the sink is a risk, but otherwise everything is great with a pool and beautiful gardens. There is parking right in front of your front door. This is in no way negative, just tips for good housekeeping.
Had a nice stay and kids enjoyed it.
We often sleep here on the way to Cape Town and have never been disappointed!
It was very nice and comfortable.
Was perfect for our needs.
It was lovely to spend the night there.
We had a wonderful stay and everything was perfect and tidy, thank you very much.
Always nice to stay at Gariep Inn and very convenient with an excellent restaurant on site.
The accommodation was top class and the food from the restaurant was outstanding.
Very nice stay, very cute accommodation.
Very neat units. All in one place, accommodation, restaurant and boat trip bookings. Unfortunately, air conditioning did not work.
Very clean, tidy and safe place with everything you need for an overnight stay. There is a very pleasant restaurant and a supermarket right next door. Perfect place for an overnight stop on the way to Cape Town!
It's always nice to be able to stay overnight at Gariep Inn - always neat, clean and lots of space. Would definitely recommend them!
Perfect stay, and boat ride on the dam.
Enjoy a wonderful overnight stay. Will always do it.
Definitely value for money.
Friendly service, rooms clean and tidy. Very well located. Food at the restaurant is fantastic!
Value for money. Nice and spacious.
Gariep Inn is clean and tidy. Provides everything one needs. Nice hot shower and clean bed and comfortable mattress. Safe and a cool pool after the hot trip.
My second time in 4 months staying there and will definitely use Gariep Inn every time. My mother and I traveled alone and felt very safe. Recommend them to anyone who wants to spend the night there. Everything is walking distance from the unit.
See stars.
Nice overnight stay in a very clean and tidy apartment with great air conditioning. My car is safely parked!
Very nice to sleep and know it is safe.
Very nice, clean, and the food is very good at their restaurant.
Truly value for money. Friendly people. Everything is neat and working. Secure parking.
The room was very neat and clean. The aircon is a very big plus especially in the summer, and the restaurant's food is excellent.
Very comfortable overnight accommodation. Everything you need is available. Will stay there again for sure.
Very nice stay in a clean and well furnished room. Staff were also very helpful in freezing frozen goods overnight. Where is the chocolate on the bed? (Ha-ha-ha!)
Value for money. Very friendly service.
Arrived very tired. Warmly received. There was a nice atmosphere. We are pleasantly surprised with our chalet. Everything you need, nicely put together. Bar and tjailatyd restaurant very nice atmosphere. I really love swimming and unfortunately the pool was not clean. But will definitely sleep on it again. ️.
Fantastic! After a long day of travel, the pool was just what we needed. The restaurant's food was delicious!
Had a wonderful stay. It was so convenient to have the restaurant right there. Loved having the cats around the premises.
Close to the N1 highway, facilities are very good and just that they have a power generation unit for load shedding is absolutely tops.
Very friendly and very cute, peaceful and safe place to stay. Not unaffordable at all.
Very comfortable and neat place to stay. Also always eat well at Tjailatyd.
Room was neat and clean. Sink is a bit on the neat side.
Very nice stay. A little fresh milk for the coffee/tea would be nice and toilet spray please.
Nice stay, well located. Definitely value for money.
Well located and value for money.
Only stayed over for one night but very neat rooms.
The accommodation is very comfortable, neat and clean. A lovely place to spend the night.
Very nice overnight place. Always have fun there.
Very nice place to stay between Gauteng and the sea. Nicely furnished for self-catering, but also a convenient restaurant close at hand. The bed slept great! A few extra hanging places in the bathroom would be welcome. Will definitely stay there again.
Have a good time and at the restaurant.
Yes, it was accommodation with peace of mind.
Great for an overnight stay and safe.
We had a very nice stay after a very long day in the hall.
The room was nice, clean and big, but parking was a bit of an issue. Must provide parking for each room.
And enjoy every moment. The people are very helpful and friendly.
Was very pleasant, and also safe.
Gariep in lovely place to stay, clean, neat and tidy. the staff i spoke to will packing up to leave we polite and friendly.
The stay was pleasant and good enough for our purpose! Room very comfortable and well equipped!
Comfortable with good location for overnight stay. Everything you need. Tjaila time restaurant within walking distance and serves delicious food. Braai facilities by pool. Enough blankets for cold nights. Always have fun going north and back.
Definitely the reason why we always sleep over there. Rooms comfortable and have everything needed. Showers are convenient. Maybe pay attention to the pillows.
Nice stay at Gariep Inn.
Colleen went out of her way to help us. Great. Water has a very very bad smell. It is possible that this is a village problem and not a lodge problem, but it is really bad.
Overnight accommodation, bonus was a restaurant on site.
Yes, was clean, tidy and quiet. Stayed for the night and was perfect.
Yes, great stay there.
We had a nice stay. The place is clean and tidy.
As always, we have a great time! Just what one needs to sleep over. Nice food at the on-site restaurant too.
Perfect overnight place on the way to the Cape. The room has everything you need for a 'stop-over'. After a long day on the road, the air conditioning and pool were lovely. We would stay there again.
Very nice stay. Wonderfully relaxed after a long journey and the air cooling was lovely. Very well furnished - everything one needs. The Tjailatyd restaurant was a bonus. Very conveniently close although a roast beef on the braai would be just as nice. Rooms well laid out to choose between very private or pool view among other people.
Easy to find and clean and tidy. Food from the restaurant is nice.
Very nice stay, centrally located, very spacious.
Excellent location for an overnight stay, next to a restaurant with affordable and large portions of food. The room unit was as advertised, value for money, and very secure parking.
Very nice stay, nice in the restaurant.
Very nice stay. Clean and tidy. Staff are very helpful.
Just one problem. The air conditioner is not working properly. It was set on the 17th and I had to sleep on top of the bed because it didn't get cold. Number 6.
Great stay. Excellent location, everything as advertised. Secure parking. Will stay here again.
My partner and I really enjoyed the stay. It was hot, and we went for a nice swim.
It was so nice to just walk to the store or restaurant! Swimming pool a real relaxation after the day's driving. Nice people.
Very nice stay, sink in room a bit uncomfortable and floor already has water damage.
Just the right place to spend the night after a long day on the road. Friendly reception and neat facilities. It's not the first time we stay, and certainly not the last. And then we are not even talking about the delicious food of the Tjailatyd restaurant next door. Thank you Gariep Inn.
Spacious, tidy and reasonable overnight accommodation.
It was clean, tidy and we slept great. We will definitely stay here again.
We had a great stay, thank you. Everything is clean and tidy. We will use their services again.
I was very impressed with Gariep Inn. Plekkie is beautiful, neat and a nice restaurant. Staff are top notch.
Just an overnight and checked in late. It was clean, safe, and good value. The TV program selection was limited.
Very friendly, welcoming hostess. The tiny basin makes filling the kettle awkward, but otherwise had a lovely stay. The blankets had a fresh, clean smell.
We enjoyed the stay and the surroundings.
Had a great time.
Everything one needs for a comfortable overnight stay.
Great, we have stayed there in the past and we have not been disappointed yet.
Very nice stay. Perfectly located, affordable, fun for the kids and all on one site.
We enjoyed our overnight stay at the Gariep Inn. We had everything we needed, would definitely overnight here again.
Neat short term stay.
It was a very pleasant stay. It was a clean, lovely sized room with the aircon as a plus. The pool was spotless and the grass was as per the pictures. Overall a great place to stay and check out Gariep Dam.
Was a nice holiday atmosphere.
Accommodation was clean and comfortable. Overdraft during the night means that there is no power for the air conditioner, and it gets very hot in the room. Also, there were no lights outside, so security is a bit low during those times.
Value for money, clean, good beds, ideal for a stopover between Gauteng and PE.
Everything you need for an overnight stay.
Everything is as advertised, clean and tidy.
Very nice and tidy place.
Had a great sleep over. The swimming pool was a wonderful cooling down for the children after the long journey.
I had a very nice stay at Gariep Inn. The management was very friendly and accommodating and could provide a lot of information about the area. The restaurant is also very nice to visit and you and your family can really enjoy their food and enjoy a nice break from the hot weather. Would definitely recommend Gariep Inn for an overnight stay or even longer if you want to stay for a few days.
Place was fine for an overnight stay. Very small though! And only one little basin - outside of both the kitchen and the bathroom, which was a little strange and not ideal. On the plus side, there was a pool and trampoline on the property, and a restaurant right next door, which was great! Small things like the basin, or no rooibos tea being available (there is always both of these offered at other places) maybe kept it from being worth 5 stars. Thanks for the stay though - the other outdoor facilities were a huge plus!
The resort itself was lovely and a nice sleepover on our long drive. The reception upon arrival, however, was seriously lacking in making us feel welcome: 1. We had to approach numerous strangers and waiters to ask where we check-in. 2. It felt like we interrupted the receptionist at her bar keeping socialising and/or duties and she looked annoyed when she handed us the keys and listed the rules and instructions like a robot. 3. I had to go back to the pub to find her to enquire what the Wi-Fi password was. She told me that it was only supplied to people who had paid in full and when would I be paying the balance. I informed her that I had paid up in full that morning already and I would just go fetch my laptop quickly to show her the confirmation email from you. She did not apologise and said that you had not let her know. I find that difficult to believe, as I am a host registered with you and have never encountered any tardiness in that regard. Such a pity that a lovely resort like that had to have such a dampener put on it.
We enjoy Gariep Inn very close to N1, very neat and clean, friendly reception.
Great overnight accommodation. Neat with friendly staff and a relaxing setting. Need a mirror in the room.
Enjoyed the quietness and safety at the inn, and for tired travellers the restaurant came in handy.
This is comfortable, no frills accommodation along the N1. Restaurant Tjailatyd on site (closed Sunday evenings). Clean linen and enough warm clothes for cold nights. Never disappoint.
We were very satisfied and had a nice stay. It is right off the road with easy access to the accommodation. The shops along the road, as well as a place to eat, were a bonus. However, the people around you start checking out early in the morning and then it is difficult to sleep any further.
Everyone had a great time.
Terrible smell in room 11 due to drain. Also very nice and neat.
Pleasant. Safe and good value.
Good for an overnight only. Clean room, clean linen. Coffee and tea available. Clean surroundings. Safe parking area. Delicious food at the restaurant.
Enjoyed the stay. Nothing fancy but you get your money's worth.
Ja, it was definitely value for money.
Was peaceful and everything needed for a one night stay.
Accommodation was safe, clean, tidy and comfortable. Close walking distance to restaurant.
The air conditioner helped a lot in the heat and everything worked well in the room. The location is also good and safe.
Food at the restaurant and service was good, WiFi was terrible and unusable, and the room needed maintenance; the floor around the wash basin was rotted.
The bed is made out and sleeping very uncomfortable.
It had been very peaceful.
Accommodation was clean and tidy but slightly disappointing in other respects. There was no drawer or hanging closet for clothes. There was also no cupboard or space for groceries even though it was a self-catering unit. Towels and toilet paper urgently need to be upgraded. This time did not feel like value for money.
Overnight only one night. Everything you need.
Lekke stayed. Clean room. Nice shower with hot water. Nice restaurant. Ice cold beer.
As advertised, convenient location for overnight stay, neat and clean. It was just a hassle to arrange our late arrival.
Very nice stay. Can only focus on cleaning the shower floor.
Good value for money. The air conditioning was like manna from heaven. It was nice and quiet and safe.
Excellent but not enough three-pin sockets to plug the laptop inside the room.
Had a great stay, barbecued, swam and slept. They might just add tongs for unit.
Neat place. Would recommend it.
Comfortable place to sleep on the way to Gauteng from the Cape.
Pleasant stay for short term.
Very cute and comfortable.
The shower bothered because water pressure, and when you open the shower to take a shower, the faucets in the kitchen just turn on. The overnight facilities were pleasant.
More than we expected, very neat, the outdoor braai area was a nice surprise, we really felt peaceful and enjoyed our stay.
Conveniently located and clean.
Very nice and comfortable. Restaurant nearby with good food.
Accommodation is adequate and comfortable.
We were looking forward to a swim, but unfortunately the pool was dirty. The restaurant serves great food and the hotel has all the essentials. Don't expect much in terms of TV viewing variety as this was limited to 2 channels, one being DSTV channel 100. Regardless, if you are looking for a good place to get some rest, this is it. Comfortable beds and peace and quiet. Really neat and clean.
Very nice and cosy room for 1 night overstay.
Very well located with everything you need for a comfortable and convenient overnight stay.
Accommodation had been acceptable.
It was very peaceful. Accommodation has adequate equipment, was tidy. Felt safe. Well situated. Beds were comfortable.
Very nice. Swimming pool was a relief in the heat.
Nice overnight stay on the way to Cape Town. Neat and clean accommodation. Right next to Tjailatyd Restaurant, very nice meal after a long drive.
We had a nice stay. Good value for money.
Stay was great for overnight. The pool is so beneficial being on the road for the day; cooling down was great. Only issue was the toilet cistern was faulty, so the noise was constant.
It was an overnight stop on the way to Cape Town after our holiday in Gauteng. Friendly staff and the place is nice and clean.
Was very nice. Would love to use them again.
Very nice, only the shower needs attention.
Quick overnight stop. Clean and comfortable. Beds need to be looked at please. WiFi password did not work.
Had a lovely stay. Just a suggestion - more plug points that are not near the kitchen. Everything cannot be used at once.
Very nice place with great people who made us feel at home. Will definitely stay there again.
It was very nice.
Very nice stay - clean and tidy.
Bedding had stains, there was human hair in 2 of the beds, bed mats were dirty, tablecloth by coffee table with stains on it, bathroom and shower walls full of mold. Cute place and location, but very dirty! I took pictures of everything if necessary.
Reasonable value for money. A panel heater to preheat the room a bit would have made a big difference (it was bitterly cold when we walked in). TV channels are insufficient.
Very neat room with great air conditioning. The shower works well and we had a good night's rest. Slight overpowering cleaning smell, but not unpleasant. Would recommend for an overnight stay.
Fried every night and went to bed early.
We slept very well, barbecued and also enjoyed the fast delicious storm. Area is awesome, and very close to Garriep Damwal.
We booked 2 rooms as it was 2 families. The one room was OK while the other room had a bad smell. . Overall good stay, value for money.
Reasonable for the price.
Great location. Check-in was easy. There is a restaurant on the premises; however, the family room was disappointing. While it was clean, the aircon leaked onto the bed, and the shower was poorly designed as the shower curtain let water onto the bathroom floor. The towels provided were frayed. The double room we also booked was clean and well-kept.
The accommodation was for 2 rooms, one for 3 adults, which was clean and tidy. The beds were just unbelievably hard and night's rest was scarce. The 2nd room was for my parents, and it's really not a self-catering unit. The fridge is very small, and there is only 1 sink in which to wash dishes and face, with very little space. The water damage definitely needs attention, and consideration of a larger sink with more space will definitely need to be taken into account.
Great location, lovely sized rooms with aircon. And the onsite restaurant was a plus. Food was great. Will definitely use them again in future.
It was ok. Room neat and tidy. A little old, could do with an update in decor.
We had a nice stay. We are just terribly disappointed that we forgot some of our items and when we drove back to pick them up, they were gone and no one knows about anything.
The rooms are very neat, but the water stinks. We booked two rooms. One room's shower had no water, and when we tried to shower in the other room, the water stank so bad that the room smelled like rotten eggs all night. The bed was also very uncomfortable. It is sad because we have stayed here before and it was much better.
Please just check if you can purify water. Smell is not pleasant.
Fridge is built into a cupboard and has to be opened every time you want to take something out. The aircon needs a service as it makes a bad noise all night. The warm water tap was making a bad noise when opened. Unit 9 was great to stay in, but number 14 was not so great.
We had a very nice stay.
Awesome for overnight. Neat, practical and clean. We will stay there again.
Very nice stay. Easy location. There was just a problem with the power, but that was sorted out then.
It was blissful to recharge batteries in a clean room with air conditioning after a long day on the road on the way to our holiday destination.
Friendly service at reception and restaurant.
It was pleasant. Great value for money. The attached restaurant is amazing. Great food and staff.
The place had everything we could need. Clean and tidy. Staff Afrikaans, very friendly and helpful! Restaurant's food was great. OK right next door very convenient if you might have forgotten something. Swimming pool was also a winner!
Very nice stop on the way to the Cape.
The service was truly first rate, friendly and helpful. Beautiful place and neat. Will definitely use them again in the future.
Absolutely amazing! This is a very nice place for a stopover. However, the kettle did not work.
It was lovely and would definitely stay there again. Very neat and clean.
Short, but lovely. Will certainly recommend.
Thank you for a wonderful stay - friendly and professional staff. Great accommodation.
Beautiful room, wonderfully cool with air conditioning in the midst of severe heatwave conditions. Our stay was very pleasant and can definitely recommend it. Will definitely book again for overnight accommodation on the way to the Cape. Would only recommend that travelers go back to the N1 instead if traveling to PE. D. w. s Colesberg, Cradock, PE. The back road to the dam wall through the small villages is very bad and full of potholes.
Great and affordable.
Perfect evening spent on the way down to the Cape, would definitely recommend.
See stars.
Recommendation for anyone.
The house was clean, nice braai area. Everything is there for a nice braai after a long day's driving. Will stay here again when we get the chance.
Very nice place. Would highly recommend it.
Gariep Inn is a very nice place for an overnight stay. We went to Mossel Bay and slept here half way and also booked again for our trip back to Pretoria. I can highly recommend Gariep Inn. It is cute, clean and the staff is very friendly.
Room was clean and tidy.
Gariep Inn is so comfortable and well appointed. We only stayed one night, but it was so comfortable. Very neat and very clean. Will definitely recommend them.
See stars.
Very comfortable, neat and clean.
Als was clean and tidy.
We enjoyed our stay.
Gariep Inn offers everything you need as a traveller. Secure parking. Restaurant on your doorstep. Swimming pool. Our unit was neat and clean.
Absolutely value for money.
After a long journey, Gariep Inn offers an affordable, clean and tidy place to sleep. The restaurant's hamburgers and pizza are delicious. Will book again in chalet 5 or 6.
The chalet is well furnished. Neat and clean and they provided for load shedding. The staff is very friendly and very helpful.
Friendly service, safe parking, peaceful atmosphere, excellent restaurant with delicious food.
Gariep Inn offers very good value for money. Rooms very clean and tidy. Staff very friendly. In addition to ideal self-catering, a restaurant and grocery store are available on site.
Very clean and tidy.
Even at short notice they did accommodate us.
100 percent as expected.
Thank you for a great place to stay that was neat and clean, food at the restaurant was great thank you, just want to comment on the mattress in unit 13, they are very hard, I suggest getting mattress toppers for your mattresses that the will provide necessary comfort. Thanks again.
Well located and will suit the vast majority of travelers needs.
Nice place for an overnight stay, safe, plenty of parking and the restaurant is within walking distance.
Gariep Inn is the best overnight stay, for sure!
Room absolutely neat that exceeded all expectations. Highly recommended for an overnight event. Restaurant adjacent makes it not necessary to look further for a place to eat.
Perfect stop between Cape Town and Johannesburg. The restaurant on the premises has spectacular food at great prices. Clean, cosy, perfect overnight stay for myself and kids on a road trip.
Very nice stay, friendly staff and all information and rules passed on nicely. Would definitely recommend the stay!
Great place as a stopover on a long journey.
Slept well and rode again early.
Room was clean and tidy and the coffee was delicious after the long journey from Pretoria. Will make this a regular breath taking spot! Thank you very much!
It's a very comfortable place to relax on a trip between the interior and the coast. The restaurant next door is nice and comfortable. And the food is top notch. Friendly staff and prompt service!
It's not far from the N1 and ate nice hamburgers at a restaurant.
Stay was perfect. The aircon a bonus, slept great.
Friendly service, tidy room, safe.
Perfect location, most comfortable accommodation and perfect for a mid-point rest for the long journey.
Clean. Neat and friendly people.
I will stay there every time on my way to the North!
Can recommend it, als is nice and close.
Management and workers are friendly and go the extra mile to accommodate guests. Arranged for generator during loadshedding by turning off other units' geysers so that the guests who are there can have power.
Affordable, neat, quiet and safe. Nice restaurant.
Third time staying here in the past year, will always return. Everything you need for a comfortable overnight stay at a pocket-friendly rate.
Lovely hot shower, slept hot. Food in restaurant was tasty, would highly recommend it.
Gariep Inn is tidy, the staff are friendly and the location is perfect.
Very neat and well located place.
Gariep Inn is well furnished and very tidy with everything needed. The beds sleep very well. Service is good. Will definitely recommend it. It is safe and well located.
Nice, clean and value for money.
What you see is what you get. Cute restaurant with delicious affordable meals on site. Load power was no problem as there is a large generator. That was a big plus.
Very clean and tidy, very friendly at restaurant.
A perfect overnight stop.
Clean and tidy accommodation, friendly staff, safe parking, equipped for load shedding, shopping center walking distance from there.
The accommodation was clean and comfortable. The restaurant on site was great. The pizzas are highly recommended. We even stayed an extra night.
We have used Gariep Inn every time we travel south to the Cape. It always remains a pleasant experience and meets all our needs as an overnight stop.
Convenient with restaurant and shop so close.
Good location, nice spacious unit. On site eatery with excellent food and good service even though they are very busy. Thank you, it was very nice to stay at Gariep Inn again.
Very clean and tidy.
Pleasantly surprised! Gariep Inn is perfectly located and quickly accessible to the dam wall and N1. Cute restaurant with delicious affordable meals within walking distance. Will stay there again for sure.
The room is perfect and clean. Nothing was lacking.
Die restaurant se pizzas is amazing.
Good travel inn stay. Management has made an effort to provide everything you need and provide a very clean establishment.
Neat and clean accommodation, perfect for an overnight stay. Rooms are comfortable and everything one needs. Barbeque area by pool is a bonus.
Was super nice and very clean. Excellent service. Very friendly. Excellent place. Thanks.
Nice stay thank you.
Place was really neat and clean. Perfect for overnight stay after a long journey and value for money.
Lovely, neat place to stay. Thank you very much! Just sorry about power problem.
Service was outstanding. Nice meal at the restaurant.
Would like to have a soap/shampoo holder in the shower.
Accommodation was neat and clean, perfect for an overnight stay.
Good service and friendly.
Ordered cheeseburger at restaurant. Everything was good except patty was dry and hard.
Enjoyed our stay - will be booking on our way back from Cape Town back to Johannesburg.
Kitchen sink also needs attention and furniture may need painting.
Have used the Inn many times and always find it good value for money. Great to have power during load shedding - which I didn't find in other places. Also, the restaurant is great to have alongside.
As a result of an additional day in the Cape, I am forced to call Gariep Inn to find out if they can move our place to stay for an evening. There was no hesitation in helping us and within several minutes my change was confirmed. We were received very kindly after a very long day's drive back from the Cape, we were shown to our room. Beautiful, nice and clean with a small bar fridge and coffee and tea making facilities. Beautiful swimming pool right next to the room for the hot summer afternoons. Our dinner at the restaurant on the property was delicious and tasty and I would definitely recommend Gariep Inn. This is our regular "stop over" from the Cape back to Gauteng.
Very nice place. Loved the pool, was able to cool off. The chalet was compact but had everything you needed. Very well planned. The braai place was also a winner. Had a nice time there.
Power box at each cottage to keep campers staying overnight in the caravan fridge running. Towels were provided. Comfortable and clean beds. Right next to a restaurant, very convenient.
Very good overnight stay between Cape Town and Johannesburg. We booked 2 rooms. Room and bedding were clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend.
Clean, neat, friendly and safe. Braai facilities or their restaurant are just around the corner.
Perfect location for an overnight stop between Cape Town and Johannesburg. Neat, clean and comfortable. Definitely worth every penny.
Stay was very nice and comfortable. The aircon was definitely a bonus with the terrible heat. The swimming pool was also a plus point for Gariep Inn. We will definitely use them again.
Only used to stay overnight. Slept well.
Lovely overnight stay in a neat unit.
Very nice stay, but the room did smell like old cigarettes.
Perfect place for an overnight stay.
Customer service excellent and very helpful.
Nice neat room with generators for load shedding and DSTV. Would recommend blinds or curtains at the other side of the room to prevent sunlight coming in during hot days or even early morning.
Just a pity there were actually no TV channels available. But we will always go back.
This is an excellent stay-over venue that is affordable but offers 4-star accommodation. I love the neat and clean feeling of the premises and the room. The owners/managers are also very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this to anyone.
Will stay here again.
Peaceful reception. Neat unit. Clean and comfortable. Everything works in the unit. Young or old will enjoy the stay.
Convenient with restaurant on site.
Made use of restaurant. Very nice food.
I'm happy and love the room so much.
We loved staying at Gariep Inn again. Comfortable and affordable. The restaurant next door is lovely and has an excellent, reasonable menu. Would always recommend staying at Gariep Inn! Thanks for the memories.
I had a little trouble finding the place, my GPS drove me around the town a few times, but after I called the people I found out I was standing at the place. So I would like to recommend management put up another sign to the left of the OR. The place is neat, clean and well maintained and I would recommend the place anytime. The people manage their place well.
We only arrived after dark and left early the following morning. We did eat at the restaurant and were very happy with the quality of the food and the service. We would definitely be happy to stay there again sometime.
It was nice, pity about the load shedding so no TV and cannot boil water or shower until the electricity comes back. Comfortable beds.
Consider making information about the boat trips (minimum persons, times, etc.) as well as the tractor trips (not actually during the week) more visible to people who come from far away. We really wanted to go out on the boat. Other than that, nice stay.
Very kindly received by Monica! Wonderful atmosphere! Place is clean and tidy! Will definitely spend the night there in the future! Definitely recommend!
Friendly welcome and slept comfortably.
Clean and tidy, would definitely stay there again.
Clean and tidy. Convenient - walking distance to shop and restaurant.
Will use it again, especially on the way back to Gauteng from Cape Town.
All in order for a comfortable overnight stay. I would only make a suggestion for access control at the narrow passageway next to the restaurant to the units. We tried to figure out where to check in, and were able to just walk through and move between units without anyone knowing we were there. Ran into a guest who explained us where to go. It's just a suggestion.
See stars.
The accommodation offered a comfortable overnight stay and everything was as described.
There was a small kink in the cable. Gariep Inn did not receive the original reservation. When we got there we had to wait for the owner to arrive as she didn't know about the reservation. Apart from that, we had a great stay!
The bathroom needs some attention.
Thank you - we enjoyed our stay.
The beautiful inside area of the Inn, is a tranquil and peaceful setting with a lovely patio overlooking the pool. Added bonus is the restaurant right there.
Neat and comfortable unit in quiet surroundings.
Neat and comfortable for an overnight stay between Gauteng and the Cape.
Wasn't sure where to go for the key, very small and cramped, but very neat and clean and everything you need there.
A comfortable spot for an overnight stay on a long journey, had everything we needed.
Clean and tidy accommodation in beautiful garden near N1. Comfortable beds, clean and comfortable bathroom. Coffee station. Enjoy a delicious meal at Tjailatyd Restaurant, which is on site. Secure parking. Friendly staff and wifi.
We ate well at the restaurant and rested well. Everything was neat and tidy. Thank you.
Was an ideal overnight stay. The place looks deceiving from the outside, but once on the premises, it looks just like the pictures.
Lovely, calming overnight stay. Staff are very friendly and helpful.
The perfect overnight stay.
We enjoyed our stay. Affordable if you are on your way to the Cape.
Car safety just needs to improve. The fence is not closed and street walkers have access to the premises.
No place to charge phones; had to unplug the kettle.
We had no problem staying the night, except if you drive a long way then you at least want a good night's rest. The bed in room 12 where my husband and I spent the night was very uncomfortable, the bed caved in on one side so my husband did not have a good night's rest and we checked out before 5 o'clock in the morning.
Beds need upgrading, WiFi.
There is a lot to see at Gariep. Will stay longer next time.
Drain just didn't smell nice, otherwise very nice.
We had a very nice stay. It was clean and quiet. We just feel that the reception could be friendlier.
Had a nice stay. TV remote was not there. But was cute for what we needed.
We had a very nice stay.
See stars.
Neat and hospitable.
Lovely accommodation, beautiful decor, good price and a convenient location. Enjoyed the restaurant. Suggestion: a small dustbin in the bathroom would be great!
The only problem I encountered was putting the remote in the mailbox after opening the gate. Pulled my vehicle up close to the post box, opened the gate, threw key into the post box and in moving forward badly injured my car against a low wall which I drove down as I moved forward. The little wall was not visible at all from the vehicle, was afraid the gate would close too quickly and pulled close to the mailbox. Would recommend that guests go through the gate, park outside and walk in to drop the key in the mailbox. Left early.
Sufficient for overnight stay.
We will return to Cape Town from Pretoria to visit Gariep Inn.
We can recommend rooms.
The overnight room has everything needed for a single overnight stay and offers good rest.
The rooms are very good. Make use of the OK Food that is next door for your food. The Restaurant at Forever Gariep's pricing is ridiculous, and our waitress (Julia) at Tjaila Tyd Restaurant spoiled the whole meal and evening for us. Gariep Dam itself is a must-see for all.
The place is well furnished. There is a generator but unfortunately this could not keep up. We experienced frequent power outages and there was a period where none of the wall plugs in the unit worked. We can highly recommend the restaurant Rustic Pub and Grill.
It's a cute overnight stop between the Cape and Johannesburg. We like to sleep over there.
Lovely stay with good location.
Slept well, everything you need is on your doorstep.
We were on our way back from Gauteng and wanted to explore the Gariep Dam area. We stayed overnight at Gariep Inn.
Would stay here again anytime.
Had a great meal at the restaurant.
Receptionist was very friendly, but unfortunately we don't know who she is yet. Not introducing herself to us. Everything we needed was there.
The accommodation was clean and tidy. The braai facilities were good.
Close to dam and convenient.
I will stay there again.
It would have been nice if the braai's were more central for the units that don't have braai's, but we ate very well in the restaurant - food was value for money.
This was our 2nd overnight stay at Gariep Inn and we have no complaints. Load capacity caused inconvenience but otherwise no complaints.
We were slightly disappointed that the room was not equipped with a kitchen sink, but the staff quickly came to our aid.
Gariep Inn is conveniently close to the main road and also by the dam which makes visiting there very comfortable.
We slept very badly because double bed mattress not up to standard. We have in Unit no. 3 slept.
As before, we had a great time staying at Gariep Inn. The unit was adequate for our needs. Unfortunately, certain aspects of the accommodation need updating. The sheets were very washed out and thin, the mattress was slept through - my 14 year old son's mattress was only sponge, so the boards of the bed were clearly felt through the mattress. The gutter outside our unit was broken, causing loud running water all night. Basic maintenance work and updating is urgently needed.
Maybe the only problem that can be looked at. Drain smell.
Easy for overnight sleep en route to Cape areas. We were 5 people and only had hot water for 2, maybe work on bigger geyser. Aircon was a great asset and pool. There is quite a lot to do for such a small area.
Very nice stay and restaurant conveniently located.
It was beautiful, clean, with a friendly reception.
Very peaceful atmosphere. Open space to move around. The room is tidy and the key box is a great idea for when you drive again early in the morning.
Neat and clean, just big enough.
There are all the basic necessities. All I can say negatively is that the water stank quite a bit when we showered.
Comfortable and warm on the coldest night of the year.
Easy to check in, rooms were neat and with needed amenities.
Room 18 has no easily accessible power plugs to charge devices. There is also only one chair for two guests.
Has everything you need, well equipped. Restaurant within walking distance as well as shop.
The resort looks very nice. My wife and I really enjoyed ourselves. The food, especially chicken livers with buns, was really tasty.
The first room we were given wasn't in line with our booking, but the friendly staff soon rectified it. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The restaurant on-site was convenient and good value for money, with delicious food and very friendly service. Perfect accommodation and restaurant for a family.
Our room was ready on arrival. No problems with anything were encountered.
Unit no. 17 short attention due to maintenance. The walls' paint is peeling off. The swimming pool is unsafe, especially during load shedding, as it is not fenced. Small children can also easily fall into the pool.
It was absolutely worth spending the night here. Friendly and helpful reception and neat and clean room.
Quiet relaxed atmosphere, highly recommend them.
Although everything had already closed, they waited for us until we checked in and made sure we felt at home.
Had a friendly reception. Rooms were ready. Everyone had everything they needed for the night's rest.
Too many beds in the apartment.
Reception was unprofessional and it felt like we got there untimely. The room was clean, bedding very neat and clean. The room needs some TLC to come up to standard. Would I stay there again - yes, because for the rate it is adequate. It would be good if the accommodation offered a (basic) breakfast option.
As it was just a stop-over for one night, I cannot add too much.
It is a self care unit, if one comes late they may have a small milk in the fridge, the shower head can be looked at and if possible, the post box where you drop the key if you have to drive after looking, you just try to stop by him and throw the key in and then drive, the little wall to the mailbox is a bit high and didn't see him and drove over him, maybe check there if I had to get out in the cold . Other than that it was nice and maybe the parking to look at.
Friendly and efficient service. Secure parking.
Overnight only. Water was not good but otherwise nice and relaxed.
Basic accommodation suitable only for overnight stay. Clean but limited facilities. Cockroach in room.
The unit has a microwave, fridge and tea/coffee facilities if you would rather stay in after a long drive.
Very friendly welcome. Service is good.
Good overnight facility. If one is looking for a halfway stop, it is good for the purpose. Clean, tidy and comfortable.
There was an ear bud lying in front of the door - not exactly a good welcome. Someone was also smoking in the room unfortunately. The restaurant on the other hand had a welcome fire and the food was good pub food, with good craft beer. The restaurant staff were friendly and hardworking.
Neat and quiet for an overnight stay.
Check in process was quick and easy. . Due to loadshedding and Gariep Inn generator not being able to operate continously, experience was little uncomfortable due to the heat and "miggies". From 10pm onwards the generator was not operational at all and this resulted in a restless night sleep due to the unbearable heat. However we enjoyed the swimming pool and braai facilities.
The manager at Tjailatyd (the restaurant at Gariep Inn) is rude. I actually want to type it in all caps. We spent more than 12 hours on the road, when we wanted to order takeaway to take to the room, then she fought with the waitress Kyla in front of us because we wanted to order take away. We waited 1 hour and 30 minutes for 3 pizzas. We chose to order takeaways because we started driving at 4 in the morning and didn't arrive at Gariep Inn until 5 in the afternoon.
A bit disappointed in location. Could do with renovation. Mattress not nice at all. There is also a shortage of kitchen items such as a grater and drying rack. Too few blankets.
Gariep Inn is not located on the Gariep Dam.
Layout of room was not well thought out. Wasbakkie is e.g. in the room and not in the bathroom. Cutlery is packed open on a small table and there is hardly any space to put down your own coffee or sandwich or to pour a glass of wine.
Gariep Inn is conveniently located and the surprise was that the access route that day took us over Gariep Dam's embankment. It was damn hot and load shedding was in effect when we arrived, the restaurant was closed but the friendly staff at the OK shop next door were happy to sell us cold soft drinks and ice cream.
Would not stay there again, water for shower smelled like sewage and you could smell it outside, table on porch was full of spiders.
The accommodation was homely. Everything available in room.
Average. I expected more from the place.
Basic, clean room that meets requirements. The shower needs some TLC as the water leaks underneath the shower door. We had to put towels to keep the room dry. The shower drain is broken, so we had to put an anti-slip mat over it. Unfortunately, there was no parking available at unit 12. Also, there is no dedicated braai, only a shared braai for a few units.
Not bad but very quit town.
Kitchenware very basic. Just good enough for a 1 night stopover between Gauteng and the Cape. Had loadshedding every 4 hours. No generator. Only very faint solar lights in the rooms. No mirror for a woman to blow dry her hair. Too few power points to use the mirror in the bathroom. Only plus point is the restuarant on the premises.
Most activities in and around Gariep were only intended for the resort and no outside visitors are allowed.
Will suggest they make the wifi and power available. Then they also have to make the bed bigger, not everyone is small.
All the pictures are true. Beautiful and what is advertised. However there is not reference to the location of the venue. This Inn is in the backyard of the Shopping centre and restaurant.
Will stay there again. Everything you might need in one place.
Tjailatyd Restaurant's food is very tasty.
Ideal rest stop to break our journey to Knysna. Clean, neat and functional. 4 sleeper self-catering unit and superior double room. If we knew how good it would be, we would have got there earlier to enjoy the facilities more. Braai and swimming pool. Wi-Fi was a bit slow.
Clean, tidy and functional.
Food at Tjailatyd restaurant was very tasty and people were very helpful and hospitable.
Convenient overnight destination on the way.
Rooms were clean and neat. Drain had a bit of a smell.
Nice clean and tidy.
Gariep Inn has never disappointed us. Best place for a good night's rest before taking on the long road again the next day.
The room is very neat. People are friendly. Perfect for rest after the long road.
Room was very clean and tidy. Very peaceful atmosphere and everything was in working order. Would definitely suggest it!
Tjailatyd restaurant's food is very tasty and staff friendly.
Very nice, with aircon. Restaurant at the accommodation.
I simply gave my name to the friendly lady and was immediately provided with a key. No hassle or unnecessary paperwork was required. We also had a nice meal at Tjailatyd restaurant.
The value for money and everything on one land is a winning recipe.
After I had a blonde moment and chose the wrong date when booking, they were still able to help me with accommodation without any problems. Extremely nice and professional. Was my first time at Gariep Inn but definitely not my last. Thank you very much.
Very neat and clean. Good location and quiet environment.
Very pleasant, comfortable accommodation ideal for an overnight stay when you are traveling far and want to take a break.
The only negative from our side would be the bed - rather uncomfortable, and creaked anytime either of us moved a muscle. Not a great night's sleep.
Very neat and comfortable. Very friendly service.
We have stayed there a few times over the years. Always been very satisfied. First time in room 11 and have to say that those beds must be replaced because they are rock hard, or kept out for people who request them. We couldn't sleep.
No complaints it was very clean, people were friendly, our animals were allowed everything we needed was given to us.
Very friendly people and service.
We were super impressed with how neat the gardens are and the cute little kittens!
I always look forward to staying at Gariep Inn. Staff are hospitable and rooms are always neat and clean. The restaurant on site also makes some of the best food and I would always recommend it.
Clean accommodation with everything working. Very convenient restaurant and bar. Good professional service.
All the equipment one needs for overnight self care was available and in working order. The facility is spacious and comfortable. For the same price as sleeping 2 you can book a 4-bedroom and stay much more comfortable with storage space for suitcases and other items.
The residential units are clean and tidy. They are centrally located near supermarket and bottle store. Staff very friendly and help where they can to make the stay as pleasant as possible.
Since our last visit, many improvements have been made to make the already nice stay even more enjoyable. Thank you for that and for your hospitality.
Very nice restaurant on site, tasty dinner.
Clean and fresh linen, neat rooms and especially delicious pizzas in the restaurant.
The friendliness of the staff made us all feel welcome, the restaurant's food was delicious and the rooms were neat and clean and would recommend Gariep Inn anytime.
Excellent service they went out of the way to accommodate us by phoning to hear where we were and then arrange access as well as to heat up the room for us before arrival, we arrived very late at Gariep.
Gariep Inn has a convenient location. It is very neat, well equipped, safe and quiet. The restaurant and general merchandiser on site is a bonus. I would definitely stay there again.
Great mid-point stop between the Cape and Gauteng.
Would stay there again anytime.
Baie lekker oorslaap en naby als. Eetplek netjies en rustig. Baie dankie.
Excellent service, the lady set the "air con" to warmer for us an hour before we got there. Bed and pillow ensured a good night's sleep.
We only slept over on the way back from Limpopo to the Cape, and are very sorry that we didn't spend more than one night there. The place is painfully neat and beautiful, and it's really worth it.
Very pleasant experience. Will visit again.
Would love more braai place, otherwise it was of high standard and very good and friendly service.
Volgende keer definitief weer gebruik.
Neat and value for money. Everything one needs for a good night's rest, after a day on the busy road.
The rooms are very well furnished with everything one needs for an overnight stay. The rooms were nice and warm in the cold weather. Very clean and tidy. We will definitely stay there again.
Some of the neatest rooms I have ever experienced. Very suitable for overnight or longer. Generator started immediately when load shedding starts. Friendly and helpful staff. Restaurant on the same plot has good service and food.
Nicely laid out. More than met expectations.
We were very early at the Gariep Inn, but they spared no effort to make sure we could check in. It's clean and tidy and close to the dam wall if you want to see more of the dam.
Very relaxed atmosphere, great rooms, great restaurant on the premises.
Great clean, friendly stopover, with a great pizza! Easy booking system.
Very comfortable, clean and tidy.
It was great staying here, nice atmosphere, single bed a bit uncomfortable. Peaceful, nice surroundings.
Pool would be a bonus during the summer. Was very surprised with how well the place is maintained and the cleanliness of the whole place. The restaurant is very delicious and means no self-cooking. Variety on the menu and very friendly people. No nonsense with keys when you leave.
We and our two small dogs were welcome and slept very peacefully that night.
Very neat and friendly people.
Such a nice stay, clean peaceful environment!
The unit, towels, bedding, etc. were all very clean. Some of the kitchen utensils need replacing. The bathroom had a slightly mouldy smell. But all-in-all very clean, comfortable and convenient.
We had a nice stay after a long day on the road. Room and facilities were very neat. Love the little patio. Staff were nimble and friendly.
The area was quiet and peaceful. Layout of residential unit was well thought out. The unit was so clean and tidy, it felt like we were the first customers since it was built. The restaurant, supermarket and bottle store were within walking distance. Very nice overnight stay. Thank you very much.
Very nice place to sleep.
The grounds are clean, and the restaurant's food is very tasty.
Very friendly staff. Very accommodating.
A good overnight stay - half way between Cape and Gauteng.
We really enjoyed our overnight stay at Gariep Inn. The place is very, very beautiful and so clean. It's a very quiet place to relax and enjoy everything you would be doing. The Owner is great and much helpful to the guests.
Thank you for welcoming my dogs and children.
We were only at Gariep Inn for 1 night, felt clean and comfortable. The on-site restaurant makes it easy for meals, and food was delicious. Vehicles can be parked safely and close enough to accommodation. And it is close to Gariep's dam wall if you want to make a trip there. So overall was definitely a place I would stop at again.
Convenient shops and delicious restaurant within walking distance.
Beautifully neat. Peaceful atmosphere and great value for money.
Gariep Inn is always our overnight choice when we travel. Thank you very much for the good service. And that you met us with the date change.
Well located, quiet, clean, safe.
We prefer Gariep Inn for our overnight stop.
We spent one night at Gariep Inn on our way back to JHB from the cape. The accommodation is neat and clean. Towels, linen and cutlery were clean. The restaurant is comfortable and the rooms have air conditioning. We paid R650 for 2 people for 1 night and it is certainly value for money.
Nice pool, tidy and enough for the evening. Perfect!
We slept so incredibly well after Coreen went out of her way for us (she knows exactly the details). The 3 of us woke up rested to travel on again the next morning. Thank you very much Coreen for your excellent service.
Met all our needs and more for a one night stopover en route to Gauteng. And on top of that lovely photos taken of the dam. The staff at the Tjailatyd Restaurant on the premises are very friendly and the food delicious.
Happy with the stay at Gariep Inn.
Staff was very friendly. Nice clean rooms.
Excellent welcome and overall very positive experience. Food at Tjailatyd Restaurant was very good and affordable. Will definately stay again. Thank you.
We have stayed twice at the Gariep Inn. Very nice place for an overnight stay. Has everything one needs. Is clean and tidy.
Very nice stay, thank you very much.
We had a great time staying there.
Safe, clean, friendly service and excellent value for money.
Well located for overnight stays, very safe, tidy and has everything one needs for overnight events.
The staff made the stay even better! AC and TV was switched on for us already.
Ideal for sleepovers. Service was friendly and fast and the beds were very comfortable. We had a nice rest after a long day of driving. Just a little constructive criticism: The shower is nice and big, but I hate shower curtains. The sink's cold water tap doesn't work and there is no storage space for toiletries - a shelf/box by the sink would do the trick. The bathroom door's lock protrudes slightly and catches in the frame when you open the door. A small table/work space next to the braai would also be good, just to have a bowl etc. to be able to put down. The table outside wobbles, but this can be easily fixed by pushing something under one leg.
Ideally located for an overnight stay. Very neat, clean, fully equipped accommodation at particularly affordable rates.
Gariep Inn is centrally located in the village.
Very convenient that the restaurant is on site.
We had a very nice stay. Was only one night, but we didn't need anything more.
Clean, neat and comfortable. Had a lovely dinner at the little restaurant.
It is a beautiful complex where you can get everything in one, fantastic restaurant, a warm room, and a mini market on the same premises, very impressed with everything.
Will definitely stay there again.
Friendly service. Rooms quite clean.
We traveled with our dogs and Gariep Inn welcomed us with open arms. Always stay overnight there on our trip from Cape Town to Gauteng, and back and would never recommend another place.
What a pleasant surprise to sleep over here. All and more that one needs. Next time we grill. Visit the well-equipped OR right there accordingly. From a camp chair to a fishing rod. Friendly guys who work there too. We will definitely stay here again.
Beautiful view if you visit the dam wall. Nice photos taken.
Just a couple of maintenance issues but none serious. Very clean and excellent service.
The air conditioning in the room in December) was a big avalanche. The food at the restaurant was tasty and value for money.
We were received with kindness, place is neat and clean, enough for a night's sleep. We will definitely make a visit there again.
Good location and convenient with eating place.
Everything was fine, the wifi password just didn't work.
The beds were comfortable!
Very good location and the service and food are good at Tjailatyd too. Would definitely want to stay there again.
Very nice, especially for an overnight stay. Everything you need and it's very quiet and safe.
The food in the restaurant was very nice. Would recommend it.
Very convenient, and just enough for a one-night stopover. Bedding is clean.
The ideal overnight facility between the Garden Route and Gauteng.
Hope it doesn't ever become pet-friendly.
Very quiet area, may look at new mattress for unit 5 double bed. Clean towels. Thank you for a peaceful visit with you.
Everything one needs was there: small fridge, kettle, coffee/tea station, air conditioning, bathroom with shower. Pool was pretty clean. Site is safe. The mattress can be replaced, since one rolls to the middle (unit 14). The restaurant was not open on Sunday late afternoon and evening, although it was a long weekend and we would have liked to eat there. So the other restaurant nearby was overcrowded and couldn't accommodate us.
Well equipped and comfortable.
Enjoyed the complete silence at night.
Very convenient. Lock on room door no 4 very tight to open, mattresses very hard, pizza at Tjailatyd was barely edible, will spend the night there again. Thank you.
The noise that trucks make on the highway at night is very disturbing, but obviously not Gariep Inn's fault.
Convenient to simply order dinner from their restaurant and have it delivered. We like to sleep over again.
Although the accommodation was very nice and we looked forward to resting there for the long journey the accommodation is certainly not load shedding friendly, you have no water if the power is out, can't drink water, use the toilet or anything , we got up just after 2 in the morning, loaded the car in the dark and drove because we couldn't sleep in the heat, also without being able to shower or use the toilet.
The units are small but clean, and very comfortable, good beds and bedding. Children could play on the lawn or on the trampoline. It's next to the pool. The restaurant that is part of the property is acceptable and not too expensive, and there is a playground. Will stay there again.
Would definitely recommend Gariep Inn and will stay there again in the future.
I enjoyed the experience with the staff.
Our stay was once again a pleasant experience like our last time. What makes the stay easier is the fact that the stay and the restaurant are together. The reception by the staff is a pleasant experience. What is a bit annoying is that the hand basin is in the bedroom and not in the bathroom.
Friendly service, room was tidy with 3 beds and all the necessary facilities for self-catering.
Gariep is a nice stay to sleep over if one arrives early its nice to explore and see the beauty of the place, unfortunately it rained when we arrived so we could do much but still enjoyed it.
The cool, cleanliness is delicious. The person on duty is always at your disposal. Comfortable movement area. Each room or apartment is in a complex, yet private.
Neatly maintained room.
The stay was wonderful. The carpets in the room are dirty and could be thrown out instead. Older people can fall and slip on the carpets.
The room was very neat and comfortable with everything needed for an overnight stay.
Welcome resting place between your Cape destination and Limpopo. The self-catering chalets we stayed in are very modern and have everything you need for a peaceful overnight stay. Comfortable and interesting surroundings.
Will use Gariep Inn's accommodation again. Sorry the road over dam fall was then for viewing with the dam being almost full.
Beautiful, comfortable apartment. Everything is perfect and in working order. Very safe, with friendly service.
Friendly staff reception.
The facility is neat. The restaurant gives good food at reasonable rates. The generator provided electricity until 22:00. I would recommend it to the traveler who wants to sleep over.
The safety light shines directly into the room and illuminates the room all night.
We liked the restaurant.
Always something to look forward to staying at Gariep Inn!
There was no apparent way to switch on the bedside lamps, but a emergency light was provided on one side if the bed.
Check in was seamless and staff always available to help. We were encouraged to look at the dam wall because the dam was full and it was breathtaking. We will definitely stay there again. It was also easy to leave early as keys were left in mailbox.
Everything needed within walking distance!
Service is excellent. Even delivered the food we ordered from the restaurant to the cottage. The food was of high quality and delicious.
Basic but meets all requirements. Restaurant with delicious food at very reasonable prices.
It's basic, clean, safe and tidy. Exactly what you want after a long day on your way to your next destination.
You get what is described in the ad. Unfortunately the WiFi was unavailable.
Nice place for half way overnight. Little problem with space for parking. Neat and clean with thoughtful amenities in the room. Thanks for good service.
Received very kindly and explained how to get to the chalet. Fast service with WiFi code request. Very pleasant experience and will use the facilities again.
See stars.
Our stay was comfortable but most importantly our two dogs were accommodated, pet friendly is a rare find. Restaurant serves an amazing chicken schnitzel meal with the most delicious pumpkin and green beans. Drinks are also very reasonably priced. Small corner basin is awkward and shower toiletries were empty apart from conditioner. A bottle of water in the fridge but no milk, a small milk would be a good addition.
Very well located with other facilities in walking distance such as restaurant, general dealer etc.
Comfortable, clean, reasonably priced overnight stay between JHB and PE. Lovely restaurant with good quality food and priced well.
Staff friendly. However, there is no information sheet regarding hospital, doctors, pharmacy details. I got sick during the night but didn't know who to call, didn't want to contact the booking lady in the middle of the night for this information.
See stars.
It's a peaceful, quiet unit to spend the night. It's near a cafe and restaurant.
Rooms are always neat, clean and comfortable. Maintenance outside the units can be stepped up. Tables and benches outside the units need attention.
The place is neat and comfortable.
Friendly staff good service.
Nice comfortable beds just a pity we had load shedding.
Overnight point only at reasonable rate.
Good stopover spot, water in taps had a bit of a smell.
Photos on internet was very close to the actual premises except for the long grass. The internet photos are the perfect representation.
Place outside lacks attention, pool paving full of weeds and pool green, not looking good.
Very nice, will visit again.
Neat and clean, ideal place to stay.
Helpful and accommodating.
There was no milk and no hand soap.
Need new beds, very uncomfortable.
The bathrooms are old. Shower heads are not there. One bed was definitely not cleanly covered. The blanket was crumpled and the bed full of crumbs.
The room is average. Everything you need for one night's overnight stay between Johannesburg and the Cape. The bed was uncomfortable. Might look into putting in new beds.
Compared to the place I previously stayed at in Gariep for R100 more, the room looked a bit outdated and like it needed a re-paint. The room was very stuffy and infested with mosquitos. No mosquito-repellent supplied. Probably the reason for being so stuffy because you can not open the windows for fresh air. The shower door was not able to close so the floor was covered in water. Was not shown the room by the host upon arrival, I had to collect the key from the restaurant and all she said was I was in room # and I do not have a designated parking and can park somewhere on the grass.
First impressions were not lasting! Must have picked up my key in a bar/restaurant type part. Photo does not show where the ceiling was painted over. There is a lack of tiles in front of the kitchen sink on the ground. Wall above toilet behind the curtain was very very dirty!
Recommend the 4 berths.
Very neat, safe place to stay overnight. Close to the main road to quickly fall back into the road. Very affordable.
Neat, clean, safe,
Nice resting place when you take the long way back from the Cape. Delicious place to eat literally around the corner.
Ideally situated, everything you need for a overnight stay.
Was a good stop between Jhb and CPT. Bed was a bit hard for my liking but overall it served its purpose as a rest stop. Clean and pet friendly.
Neat, clean and comfortable living unit. Pets are welcome there. Comfortable bed that slept well. Air conditioning is a bonus. Restaurant's food was delicious, affordable and generous portions.
We had to drive 3 hours in the morning to get to our destination. The power was out when we woke up, I called the cell number that was left for us and a lady immediately answered and said the whole town's power was out. She was friendly and helpful.
Was a very nice place. Staff very friendly, would recommend anytime.
Quiet, comfortable overnight place to recharge for the next day's journey to Cape Town.
Lovely overnight accommodation with everything you need.
Very nice place to stay and always have a good time there.
Perfect stopover between Gauteng and Cape.
I recommend the destination.
Gariep Inn has the friendliest staff and the rooms are very tidy.
Great place for a stop over.
Ample play space for children.
We were simply looking for a convenient spot that was animal friendly to overnight on the way to Knysna and this was perfect and reasonably priced.
Wonderful as always. Always clean and tidy. We always feel special and service is very good and friendly.
They were very happy with the restaurant and really enjoyed Tjalatyd's food.
Thank you for your great service. We will definitely use you again and also recommend to friends and family.
Centrally located. Right next to a small supermarket and restaurant. Very safe. Will definitely stay at Gariep Inn again.
Excellent place, would stay there again anytime.
Perfect for a half way overnight stop.
Good and friendly service.
Friendly staff. Clean. Beautiful.
The restaurant opposite the Gariep Inn makes it even more enjoyable to stay here.
A very nice place to stay. Friendly service, clean and lekke food.
We have no complaints, everything was excellent. We were treated kindly, room was clean and tidy, everything was good, we have nothing to complain about. We stayed there again when we came back and will use them again. Thank you.
Modern, clean rooms that are well appointed at a very good price.
Met all requirements for an overnight stop.
Very quiet, safe, comfortable and nice atmosphere.
The Gariep Inn was easy to find and the restaurant on site was a bonus.
Very nice, restuarant next to Gariep Inn. Gariep Dam nearby and an experience.
Ideal place to eat at the rest stop with very good food, would recommend sleeping over there!
Great place and lots to do.
Travelled from Cape Town to Home.
The rooms are very neat and there are many small "details" that make the difference.
Receptionist was very friendly.
Pleasantly surprised, very friendly welcome. All that's missing are electric blankets, it was freezing cold. Fortunately, there are air conditioners that make the rooms cozy. We will definitely stay there again. Have already recommended them to friends.
Gariep Inn's places are very clean and tidy. It's the ideal place to spend the night but also very comfortable and safe to stay there for a few days. We will definitely use them again.
We loved syaying over at Gariep Inn. Neat, safe and comfortable.
We had a great time and felt safe. Everything one could need was there. Very clean and tidy. Thank you.
The facilities were very neat and clean in a safe environment. The food at the restaurant next door was very nice/ (Chicken schnitzel and pork chops with chips and vegetables were our choice). The reception was friendly. Real country hospitality and excellent service - the staff went out of their way to make us feel at home. Will definitely stay there again!
It was definitely our favorite overnight stop. Will stay here every time. We forgot our pillows but the owner contacted us quickly. Just what one needs.
Will always book again.
Really enjoyed staying overnight. A great stop over place! Will recommend to anyone and we will definitely use it again. Brilliant staff, well equipped chalets and outstanding value for money!
Just what we needed for an overnight stay! Possibility to eat in the restaurant nearby. Good food for a very good price. Friendly staff. Also at the check-in counter! Friendly personnel. Easily accessible units. Good and safe atmosphere. Easy accessible from the road!
Friendly service, such a nice place to stay and spend the night. Very nice clean rooms. Would recommend to anyone. Friendly service and very tasty food and large portions. Their milkshake is a must try. Thank you for the beautiful place we discovered!
The place is beautiful, clean and tidy. The people are friendly and helpful.
Will definitely stay at Gariep Inn again, restaurant on site was also cosy, food delicious and quick brisk service.
Everything we needed was there. Definitely recommend.
I always stay here, and will again in the future. It is well located, convenient with the restaurant and has friendly staff. Keep it up!
The rooms are clean and tidy and adequately equipped for overnight stays. It's very convenient that there is also a restaurant on the same premises, we ordered food when we checked in and they just came and delivered it to our room, excellent service. Is close to the dam wall where we went to visit the next morning. Will definitely stay here again.
Will use the accommodation again. Just a pity the pool could not be used - we were quite looking forward to it.
Best service and value for money.
Gariep is a good overnight stop on the way to Johannesburg. Friendly service.
Restaurant conveniently close - friendly service.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. It feels like we are family. We will visit there again for sure.
It was a lovely surprise to walk the beautiful hidden complex of rooms and chalets. The swimming pool after a long journey through the extremely hot Karoo was especially a welcome sight and invitation. The reception was very friendly and professional, even though I arrived quite late. The room is beautiful, comfortable and has everything I needed. Thank you very much again LekkeSlaap, your recommendation was once again spot on!
Rooms are comfortable, well maintained. Nice environment.
Everything was very neat and clean.
Our travel plans changed and Gariep Inn was very accommodating and made our reservation earlier.
The place was clean, safe and there was enough space to stretch your legs (and swim) after a long drive with 2 small children. The unit itself is large enough and comfortable.
Hospitable and helpful.
Will recommend to guests.
Well located. Right for kids, swimming and playing. Beautiful, friendly people and staff. Very satisfied with my choice of overnight stay after my holiday.
Place for children to play. Restaurant on premises, delicious food.
Quick customer service.
Have stayed there before. Will stay there again if space is available on our next trip. Place is way better than anything Colesberg can offer.
Plekkie is perfect for a stopover on the way to Eastern Cape/Western Cape.
Sorry the power and water were off, it made things a bit unpleasant. No shower or cooking facilities worked, due to force.
Good location, easy to find and close to a place to eat on a Sunday afternoon.
Private chalets, fully equipped with braai facilities, chalet sleeps 4, just note that it is open plan and not 2 separate rooms.
Safe parking, barbecue places outside and clean inside. Big bed and nice bathroom.
We only stayed for one night, on our way to Kruger. Perfect overnight stop. The unit was very clean and welcoming, although the communal grounds could do with some maintenance, as one bench near the swimming pool was broken and the swimming pool was green. I'm sure this will be seen to once the hospitality industry gets back on its feet.
See stars.
Booking was easy. Received very neat and friendly service. With a shop, bottle store and eatery it's all you need.
The perfect place to sleep comfortably on the way to the Cape.
Clean and tidy accommodation. Meal in restaurant was delicious.
Just a little cramped.
Very neat rooms, it is fitting that there is a nice restaurant within walking distance of the cottages.
Stayed there on our journey from the Cape to Hartbeespoort. Will stay there again in the future.
Very neat and hospitable.
This was our third visit to Gariep Inn and every time we find it comfortable and tidy there. Beautiful garden and surroundings. Will come again.
Very neat and clean. Will recommend it to people.
Good location, restaurant conveniently next to it.
The place was ready for an overnight stay and another quick departure the next day.
Clean and comfortable and friendly people.
Kitchen space and lack of working space was difficult to cook.
I would just put out better coffee for the guests for the amount one pays. Very nice place - love the pool and close to everything.
We had a great sleep and our little girl swam so well. Such a comfortable sleepover with our dogs who were also welcome. Furthermore, it is really handy to stay next to a restaurant with good food and a supermarket. I highly recommend Gariep Inn.
The unit was serviced on the second day, which was quite surprising.
Everything was as advertised.
Well-equipped unit. Thre is a restaurant on the premises with good food and service.
Affordable, neat and clean family room for our one night stay. Shower water was deliciously hot.
It was very nice and quiet.
The food at the restaurant was delicious and very reasonable in terms of price. The small sink in the corner of the room is impractical and it would be a great improvement if it could be moved to the bathroom.
Good location conveniently located next to a restaurant, you don't need to drive around looking for food. Rooms comfortable. Wonderfully quiet.
Neat, clean and comfortable bed. Outdoor lights at number 3 on wall illuminate entire room. If you are used to a dark room, the light can bother you a bit.
See stars.
Bed was comfortable for 1 night's sleepover. The restaurant is recommended. They had a generator that came in handy with the load shedding together. Unfortunately, the next morning he kicked in and went down again. We were told to drop the key in a post box at the gate but couldn't find the post box. The notice on the bathroom door again says it must be left in the chalet. It was a bit ambiguous.
Good value for money, clean and safe.
We had a wonderful overnight stay. The room was clean, tidy and comfortable. The restaurant serves delicious food in very generous portions. A very positive experience!
Had to wait at reception because restaurant was busy. Accommodation neat.
It is very neat and will definitely use their services again.
Comfortable stay, everything we needed for a sleepover.
Nice place to stay, restaurant with good food on site. Rooms basic but clean and tidy.
The faucets in the shower (unit 13) need attention. It does not open or close properly.
For a family with small children this place is not ideal.
Had a good stay. Clean and comfortable. Good value for money and conveniently close to Tjailatyd restaurant.
Excellent service. Restaurant on premises. Close to Gariep Dam.
Clean, tidy and owners/staff very helpful.
The environment is clean and tidy and the Tjailatyd Restaurant makes the most delicious meals. Their staff is very friendly and nimble.
The room was spacious and clean. The only problem we had was mold in the bathroom on the roof which caused a smell. We just left the door open. Other than that everything was fine. The restaurant just next door surprised us very pleasantly, very good food and affordable.
Stay here often, good value for money. The restaurant serves delicious meals.
Location perfect for overnight travelers. Neat facilities.
Very clean and neat. Friendly and helpful service. Unfortunately overpriced. Very good location as it is within walking distance from the restaurant and OK grocer. Close to petrol station so it is a very convenient location.
The door could not lock - friendly staff moved us to another place.
Room has everything one needs for a quick overnight stay. Room was neat and clean.
Cute place and nice and cool with air conditioning.
Booked two units, one of which was fine. The second unit in which two pensioners lived, there were no readily available power plugs.
Will definitely stay there again.
Good stopover facilty.
Friendly service, slept great after the whole day on the road.
Nice place to stay with a very nice restaurant and facilities that are needed.
Nice stay and was peaceful - the staff very friendly and happy.
Room is comfortable and sufficient for overnight stay.
The restaurant at Gariep Inn's food is tasty.
We only slept over one night, were on our way to the Cape. Service is friendly, unit is tidy. There is not much to do but it was fine for us as we just wanted to sleep over. Thank you!
Definitely worth an overnight stay. Extremely reasonable prices and good customer service.
It was the perfect stop over place. It is decent accommodation.
It was everything we needed for an overnight stay.
Nice restaurant. Friendly staff. Nice for overnight when you travel. Well located.
The location is good, not far from the main road and quiet.
It was just for sleeping over. However, I think it is not worth the money.
Neighbours were very noisy. Bed not of the best quality.
Price is good, place neat and clean, but bed linen! Overall the place was neat and clean. When we opened the door for the first time there was a very distressed sweaty smell in the room. The bedding which is supposed to be white was yellow and very thin with age. The bedding did not smell fresh.
The ash bin in the overnight accommodation was full, therefore not cleaned. The sheet was clean but should have been replaced a long time ago - thin from all the washing. Larger towels may be considered. The fridge needs a good cleaning, especially the rack of the door.
The showerhead was not properly sealed and sprayed water over the shower door onto the floor and there is nothing you can do about it.
Bathrooms need some attention. Other than that, everything was up to standard.
Good clean accommodation at good rates.
Neat with a nice pool.
Comfortable to stay overnight but self-catering facilities are very limited.
Water at sink in room has unpleasant smell.
It is ideal to spend the night here on your way to the Eastern Cape. The place was clean but needs a lot of basic maintenance (paint etc.). Also no water when loadshedding hit us and we had to take the road without showering. For what you get, you pay a little too much.
Accommodation is good and good price. Only short towel rails in bathroom. It also lacks extra space or a shelf to make food on or spread sandwiches on.
Needs a lot of TLC! We only used it as overnight accommodation.
We did check in late, around 19:30 but had to get the key from the restaurant and the service was not very good.
More attention can be given to the application of Covid 19 regulations.
No pond view as in the photos, facilities like swimming pool could not be used, barbeque facilities were also not detailed.
We were very disappointed in the stay there and at R650.00 per night it was not worth the money. Keys were handed out in the street. Very unprofessional and not at all welcoming or friendly.
Would highly recommend upgrading.
The owners will have to clean the bathroom door. It gives the impression that the shower and toilet were not cleaned properly.
We are used to good sleeping places on the website. However, this place is neglected inside. no burglar bars or security gates at sliding door. Our air conditioning did not work and we did not even open a window through the night. Got about warm. Finishing of tiles is poorly done. There are still pieces of cement everywhere, I also took photos to send you. It just hasn't been done yet. So for sure I will not sleep there again.
Dinner had to be ordered in the early afternoon. With service in the room it was so poor that it was not useful at all. Disappointing.
Very nice overnight stay.
The unit was very clean and comfortable. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would stay again and recommend!
Perfect stop over for me and my family with the dog. The place is neat quiet and very nice with its own pub and restaurant for a great dinner at a good price.
The rooms were clean and the pool was such a relief for the kids after a long journey.
The Gariep Inn really is a lovely place. Suitable for the whole family. It is clean, tidy and safe. The environment is ideal for a getaway.
We had a wonderful overnight stay at Gariep Inn. The service was friendly and the place neat. I would recommend it anytime.
The room and grounds were very neat and the staff very friendly. The restaurant also offers good value for money.
We only stayed overnight and were extremely satisfied.
Excellent service!
Perfect neat place for overnight stay. Would recommend for sure!
Very neat rooms, good value for money.
After a long journey from Cape Town, the bed was comfortable, the room beautifully clean and the shower wonderfully hot.
We have no complaints. Everything was perfect.
Nice and quiet, safe overnight stop on the way to Pretoria or the Cape
Gariep Inn was very professional and accommodation was neat and clean. Maybe just looking to upgrade the box tv.
Everything nice and clean, maybe just a rug on the floor next to the bed
Will come again, nice.
Room is clean and well equipped with everything one needs for an overnight stay. Will definitely use it again in the future.
Everyone was very hospitable and everything was clean and tidy.
Very nice and clean facilities.
Their pool is a must to swim in.
It was great to walk into a well appointed chalet with aircon after a long journey. Thank you for the great, friendly service.
Good reception, conveniently located, neat and clean.
Maybe a bottle of filter water in the fridge would have been a nice addition.
Nice stay. Will use it again in future.
Very neat and comfortable.
The location is fantastic and is part of the best place to eat ever! There is an OK and OK liquor also part of the setup so walk away from everything. The swimming pool and green grass make you feel welcome and at ease. Nice and compact, but not cramped. Definitely a very nice place.
The room was simple but very clean and comfortable. The pool was sparkling blue. We were warmly received. The on-site restaurant is wonderful. It's just steps from our room! Will definitely stay here again.
Nice place to spend the night. Rooms spacious and clean. Grounds also very clean and tidy. Pool was a big plus point. Will definitely stay there again.
Clean and neat, great burgers at the restaurant.
It was very nice, you might just put up a big plate along the way, it was hard to find a place.
The rooms are neat and everything is in working order. No luxuries, but enough space and facilities to sleep comfortably.
See stars.
We checked into one of their chalets and were not very happy with the bed. Think the rooms and beds of the chalets need a bit of an upgrade. Without hesitation, the manager offered us another room that was more expensive and very nicely upgraded for exactly the same price. Will definitely stay there again.
It was very comfortably furnished with everything I needed and extremely affordable. The kettle didn't work, but there was a microwave. As for security, I was just wondering about the gate at parking that was open, didn't see a guard.
Friendly reception and everything was neat and in order with good meals and value for money at the restaurant.
Neat, well located and very nice and comfortable overnight stop.
It is neat and perfect for a night stop!
Better quality coffee could be put in the rooms, as well as more coffee/tea and milk for the evening and morning.
Beautiful surroundings with lots to see.
Was surprised that we didn't discover the place earlier. We often sleep over in the Gariep area and this was the best for us yet. Extremely conveniently located, nice people, clean facilities and, I might add, also big enough so that you don't feel cramped. Also had a nice meal at the restaurant. It's a plus that it forms part of the setup, you don't always feel like driving to a place to eat after a day in the vehicle. Will definitely stay there again. Thank you Coreen for your help with our arrangements which kept changing.
Safe, good night's rest with clean and tidy accommodation. Will definitely recommend it to my friends and family.
The grounds are neat and tidy. We liked to sit on the veranda, like many other guests, it was lovely. Thank you for your hospitality.
The restaurant's food is very tasty, large portions and the staff's service and attitude very very good. Would also recommend the restaurant.
No problems encountered.
Gariep Inn is well situated for an overnight stay. The place was clean, comfortable, with a lovely pool and is also well located with the restaurant within walking distance if you want to eat. Recommend the place as it was pleasant to sleep over there.
With a pool to cool off in and a restaurant within walking distance, it was the perfect spot for tired bikers.
The unit is comfortable with all the basic necessities for an overnight stay. It's just a shame that the sink has to be used to wash dishes as well. Two point wall plugs would be a bonus. Had a great stay and will definitely use the facilities again in the future.
The accommodation was clean and safe for kids. Great stopover from Johannesburg to Cape Town.
Good value for money. We will definitely stay there again.
Well located, just off the N1. The dam wall is very impressive to look at. Cute setting with cottages close to restaurant and parking behind the gate.
We often stay here and are always satisfied with the service and the chalet is well equipped with everything needed. Nice gardens and pool if you want to sit outside. Will come again.
Nice that there is a restaurant with good food.
The restaurant deserves more than a thumbs up. Value for money, well prepared food and uninterrupted service. The place needs a nomination.
Neat rooms in a cozy environment.
Friendly environment and reception. Units well equipped and tidy. Nice atmosphere, comfortable, close to the main road. Will definitely stay here again.
The first room we got for our trip to P.A. Number 10's TV didn't work. The second room, no 13 on the return journey, was very comfortable and everything worked well. The small fridge makes a terrible noise. It was so distracting that we turned it off during the night. It would be nice if there was a shelf in the shower to put things down, the same at the sink in the room. The restaurant is very cozy with the fireplace, but the service is hopelessly slow. We waited more than an hour for our food! Unacceptably long as there were only 3 tables occupied. It would be nice to be able to enjoy breakfast before starting the long road again.
It was a pleasure staying at Gariep Inn. Would definitely recommend and stay there again. Plekkie is very neat, as is the environment. Value for money.
It's a very convenient overnight destination. Very nice stay.
An enjoyable stay, not more than one night though. The self catering amenities could be better and we struggled with the basin in the bedroom. The shower head was slightly loose.
Would recommend as an overnight stay.
Good overnight accommodation for the price and good food at the restaurant. Could improve with cleanliness in the unit, especially the bathroom.
Great accommodation - would definitely recommend for an overnight stay.
Will would like to bring the following to Gariep Inn's attention: The bed slept well, but when we turned over at night the bed creaked a lot! Sounds like someone cracked the frame. Then you are awake every time. We were in no. been 13
Rooms very well equipped and restaurant on site has nice meals.
The road is good, reception excellent, quick service, room for overnight. Would recommend that anyone experience it for themselves. Outstanding. Then the location for quick visit to the dam etc. also something that stole the eye.
Unaccustomed to the heat, the air conditioner really enjoys it.
Very nice and peaceful can rest well. Bed not the most comfortable.
We usually sleep over at the Forever Resort or alternatively at the De Stijl Hotel. Neither of the 2 could provide us with overnight accommodation. We were very grateful to be able to get a place at Gariep Inn, although we prefer B&B accommodation. It is very unfortunate that Gariep Inn does not provide breakfast.
Room 12's porch just needs an outside light and the bedside light kept flickering when it was switched on. Probably a connection problem. Thank you.
Self-catering unit is basic, but comfortable and clean. Air-con is effective. TV is a bit small and channels are limited. Lovely swimming pool. Could quickly walk to the restaurant for dinner. Would stay here again.
Neat, clean, safe overnight stay. Also animal friendly. Will stay there again.
Second time we spend the night here, very comfortable rooms, always clean and the children enjoy the pool.
The room was clean and cute, just what we needed for one night's sleepover. The air-con just didn't cool which will be a problem on warmer days and the one TV channel was only black and white. But other than that, everything was 100%.
Other than that very good and quiet - just the bed.
The service at the restaurant at Gariep Inn, Tjailatyd, is absolutely superb.
Nice, neat and convenient. Unfortunately the double bed we slept on in Unit nr. 5 was very uncomfortable as the mattress is long overdue for replacement.
Enjoyed the accommodation, thank you.
See stars.
Cleanliness needs attention. They can also fix broken things, such as broken tiles in the bathroom.
Pleasant enough stay, in a neat and somewhat clinical yet comfortable room and environment. We had motorbike problems and didn't find the staff overly helpful in pointing us in the right direction for assistance. Also, no matter how many times I entered the Wi-Fi password, I couldn't get it to work on my phone. Food and service at the adjacent restaurant were good.
Ideal for overnight stay only.
Beds and mattresses are of a very low standard, pillows are pathetic.
The lawn, swimming pool and playground for the children is a big plus. The braai facilities and porch with wooden bench and table make it a nice place to hang out outside. The rooms meet all your basic needs.
Kitchen slightly inconvenient, too small for 4 people to sit and eat. We did have a barbecue outside which was nice. A shelf or two to put bags with clothes on would help, otherwise 4 people's bags and clothes are lying around on the ground. There are no cupboards, drawers or shelves to put things on. Otherwise, room was comfortable for overnight stay. Gates at entrance were both broken, gate on the side looks like someone pushed it open. Was a little worried about the safety of our caravan, but there was a guard at night. Please make the gates right. Air conditioning was fantastic, as was the pool. TV channels very limited but didn't really bother us. No WiFi in rooms which was inconvenient for teenagers especially. Advertisement should state there is not a view of the dam, but it is in the area and conveniently close to the dam.
I am disappointed in the cleanliness and the porches which were really dirty and had not been swept for a long time. The wooden table outside the room was dirty. And the mattress is horrible. The mattress will need to be replaced.
There were no clean bedding and the floor was dirty. The place needs a lick of paint and new linens.
Ideal place for a stopover on the way back home.
Just perfect after a long days ride.
Very nice stay! People were very friendly and helpful.
Quiet accommodation for the drive between Mossel Bay and Johannesburg. Great to rest to continue the ride.
Gariep Inn is a great place to stay travelling to Hartenbos. The room was very clean and spacious. We visited the restaurant and enjoyed a great meal. True value for money.
We welcomed the rest on the way from the Cape to Gauteng. Having dinner at the restaurant was a good option since we didn't arrive until early evening. We will definitely stay here again.
The door and air conditioner of number 5 need attention. Other than that, everything was wonderfully clean and a pleasure.
We enjoyed our stay. Everything was neat and clean and our 2 pugs were also welcome.
Affordable overnight stay between the coast and Gauteng. The rooms have recently been renovated and are very neat and clean.
An ideal stopover for a family with small kids. Shops are a walk away and there is a small restaurant with a pub. The management and staff are very obliging. The boat trip on the dam is worthwhile and booking is done through Gariep Inn.
Very nice place to stay overnight. The people are friendly and helpful. Will definitely sleep there again.
Gariep Inn was a surprise. Will definitely stay there again.
Gariep Inn is a gem of a place. Nicest place to stay in Gariep. Have told so many people about Gariep inn.
Was lovely to sleep at a place after such a long journey, which has everything you need, the aircon was definitely a bonus in the heat. Very neat, could switch off nicely, safe and quiet.
We would definitely recommend Gariep Inn. Clean and fresh bedding. Blissful air conditioning for the heat. Location super neat. Beautiful clean bathroom. Five star quality.
I enjoyed it a lot.
Beautiful, neat and clean. Feels like 5 star accommodation.
Very nice place to sleep for a tired traveler.
Great place to stay. Very neat, clean and comfortable. Been there several times and will go again.
Thanks for the kind welcome, will make this a regular stopover.
We were 3 persons aged 74 and one younger couple who travelled together and stayed in 3 rooms. Very neat and convenient in secure complex.
Our reception was friendly. Chalet was clean and tidy. Staff were very helpful in making accommodation comfortable for a disabled person. Would recommend.
Pleasant people, organised, neat and comfortable accommodation. I like your hospitality and the bottle of milk in the fridge. I could drink more than one cup of coffee. Thank you!
Very comfortable, clean, tidy accommodation. Bonus is restaurant that is on site, so after long day's travel we could eat deliciously and be in bed early.
Slept and ate well at Gariep Inn's restaurant. No problem with check-in or check-out. Is a very nice place for someone who just wants to sleep over before they take the road to Cape Town. They have a very nice "just sleep over" option, as we did. 6 am the next morning we could easily hit the road without bothering any other guests. Added to that, we towed the trailer back from Rouxville to Wellington a 6 am. There was plenty of room for us, as well as other guests who also had trailers. Will definitely stay at Gariep Inn again in the future.
Thank you very much for a neat and clean place to stay. Our family spent the night here on the way to Cape Town and were surprised with the cute little place. Beds were spotlessly clean and bathrooms and kitchens spotless. Places to eat nearby if you don't want to cook yourself. Reception very friendly. Thanks for good service. We will use you again on our next trip.
Excellent stop over on a trip to Cape Town. Can recommend it.
Single bed blanket on the double bed. Throw has burn marks. The room was beautifully clean and neat.
This is all the 3rd time we used Gariep Inn to sleep. Many improvements have been made in the meantime and they are still in process. The location makes it easy because it is located next to the restaurant and OK store if one needs something. The price is also well-stocked and I feel it's good value for your money.
Would recommend it to anyone.
It is nice not to drive to a shop or restaurant just after a long drive. Everything is just walking distance.
The restaurant is right next to Gariep Inn - very convenient.
It has a kitchenette and small dining area. Lovely soft bed linen and towels are provided. Everything you need to sleep comfortably.
We arrived there about 4:00 and immediately got the key and became familiar with the bed for a while before we went to the restaurant. Spent rest of the evening peacefully watching TV.
My family and I were on our way to Plettenberg Bay and decided to split the journey and stay the night in Gariep. The Gariep Inn was such a lovely little gem. The location was convenient and we had all we needed for a comfortable night's rest. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gariep Inn as a stop over or as a final destination for a relaxing break.
Als was neat with air cooling. Car could be parked safely.
Everything is well furnished and provides all the needs for a 1 night stay. Apartment is fully equipped.
It was very neat, clean and nice to stay at. The poodle could run around.
Good location, neat and clean.
Good location for an overnight stay between Jhb and Port Elizabeth. Bonus with restaurant on site, very convenient after long journey.
Gariep Inn was just an overnight stay. Very clean and tidy and braai facilities were placed right in front of the door. Vehicle was safe and there was also a security guard throughout the night. Shop is right next to the place if you wanted to get meats or braai supplies. Gariep Inn was very helpful and very prompt service. Thank you for the hospitality.
Perfect oasis after a long journey.
The accommodation is about halfway between Oudtshoorn and Johannesburg. It suits us perfectly and we will stay there regularly.
One of the best places to stay! The people, surroundings and accommodation are top notch!
See rating.
Excellent service, everything needed for a sleepover, good price and pleasant.
Very neat and clean. Location is perfect.
Very well organized with very friendly and professional service and a very neat, clean and pleasant place to live with secure parking. Outstanding!
We have used this accommodation every January for the past three years on our way home from the West Coast. Every year we are surprised with improvements that have been made. Slept very well. Will definitely book again.
Thank you to Gariep Inn. We will book again and it was neat and clean. The food at Tjailatyd was awesome!
I just suggest that the gate should be permanently closed or pushed, especially if you have small children and people walking around who shouldn't be there.
See stars.
Just get a holiday feeling.
After a long day on the road, the overnight rooms were a real treat, quietly comfortable and quiet. We even took a dip in the pool. I recommend dinner at the restaurant, the food is of excellent quality and very affordable. Out and out had a very good experience, very good sleep. Maybe just a suggestion: a little fresh milk and a rusk with the coffee in the room would have been quite lovely.
Place is very neat and well furnished. However, cleaning services were not there on Saturday morning for clean towels and replacement of coffee. The main gate might give each guest a remote instead. Saturday evening there was no guard and the gate was blocked inside with stones. I was there for matric reunion and our function was at Forever Resort, and we got in around 23h00.
A simple place with all the amenities needed to whip up something to eat and get a good night's rest.
We used the accommodation as an overnight stop on the way to George. Was kindly received and rested well. Google maps just takes you to the wrong entrance.
Very nice overnight place. Good customer service. Room very clean and tidy. I would suggest buying new bedding, sheet on double bed was torn. Apart from the bedding, everything was neat and clean. Room has everything one needs for one night's stay.
Ideal place to stay overnight.
Great location, enough parking, the restaurant is closeby, cute place.
It's a nice place and the restaurant has friendly people and good food. Room 5's bed is no longer in good condition and they may need to replace the mattress in the near future.
After a long journey through the Karoo, Gariep Inn was a wonderful place to relax. The reception was very friendly and helpful and all purchases could be purchased within walking distance of the beautifully equipped unit. A place we will definitely visit again.
We spent 2 nights in a self-catering room, the bed was comfortable, hot water was plentiful, we had no complaints. A mirror in the bedroom, and a bread board and braai tongs in the kitchen would be welcome.
Gariep Inn provides good value for money. It’s not 5 star but does not intend to be. It is clean, neat and safe. Great for a overnight stay.
We were well and kindly received, but a few things bothered us. Pets belong at home and not at vacation spots. Dogs are not acceptable to all people. The unit is spacious and clean, but there is no storage or hanging space for clothes anywhere. Glass door to the shower will work much better than the curtain. The guests should be informed about noise after 10pm. We shared the resort with a bunch of men who made more and more noise the later. 04:00 the next morning there was still a loud conversation in rough language. The restaurant at Tjailatyd's service and food is excellent and very well presented.
Clean. Tidy. Everything needed was there and worked. Exceeded expectations good value for money and single female traveler felt completely safe.
We had a nice stay; the room is nice and spacious, but a bit dull. If you don't use the warm duvet, the sheet and blanket are a bit snug.
Perfect for overnight.
It is perfectly fine for a one night stay. Everything was fine.
Friendly reception. Comfortable room. Would prefer the gate to remain locked. Air conditioner was a bonus. Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed on Sunday night.
Perfect accommodation for an overnight stay in Cape Town. Neat self catering, will definitely visit again.
Friendly reception, neat overnight facilities. Will stay there again and definitely recommend them.
It was very convenient for us, as it is about halfway between our house and Johannesburg. Such a family weekend for us and our children from Johannesburg.
Initially had problems with the bathroom lights in room 2's switch, but then came right. Thinking more attention can be paid to pre-inspections to make sure everything works in the rooms.
Could have a nice barbecue on the porch, enjoyed it a lot.
Gariep Inn is a very clean, tidy place to stay and would recommend it to anyone.
Clean, safe basic accommodation with air conditioning and TV. Value for money and well placed for all amenities at Gariep.
We were in one of the more modern units (newly redone). Have a nice shower. Bed was slightly dusty. Calm and friendly atmosphere.
People very friendly couple of small things like door locks sticking and shower not the cleanest and braais need a bit of servicing. Good value for money.
Certainly perfect for overnight stays. Just a pity that no provision is made for when there is no electricity.
Great stop-off place on the way to Jeffrey's Bay, not far from the highway. Clean and tidy, well equipped.
We found it quite pleasant.
Room was neat and clean. Children were very impressed with WiFi and dinner at Tjailatyd was delicious and fragrant. On arrival I was informed that I still owed R400 even though I had already paid it 3 weeks ago. Mattress on double bed was flat and slept through. Suggest that it be replaced. Flat sheet on double bed was a single sheet used on double bed so did not fit at all and was inadequate for purpose. Enjoyed stay and will use them again.
Good place to stopover between the Reef and the Eastern and Western Cape. Nothing fancy or fussy about the place. Adequate facilities, fridge, TV etc and seemed secure. Close to a convenience store and attached to a restaurant. Ideal stopover at a reasonable cost.
Clean and neat overnight accommodation.
The places need a little attention, but are perfect to spend the night in order not to drive in the dark.

Clean, and very hospitable.

Was unsure of where to go to book in at first but then called to find out. At Thalia Tyd Restaurant. Lady was very friendly. Room was pretty clean. Aircon worked and slept peacefully. Will recommend them.
Although there was a power cut and we had to do without air conditioning, all the other facilities were excellent, neat and clean. Thank you very much!
The reception was very helpful, the unit very neat and clean definitely a recommendation for any traveller.
Very friendly staff. Great restaurant with delicious food on site with reasonable prices!
Neat, well-equipped units. Must mention that the bedding and pillows in particular were a pleasure to sleep on. Smells wonderfully clean and fresh.
Had a friendly reception, without any problems. I can definitely recommend their restaurant, the Tjailatyd. Excellent service, friendliness and wow, the food was out of the book for the price.
Good value for money.
Cost of accommodation was consideration, pleasantly surprised by cleanliness, layout, safety and helpful service.
Dining within walking distance was a bonus.
It was very clean, our stay was wonderful. Unit no 5's microwave was not working, but on our next stay they fixed it.
Lovely clean, comfortable overnight stay halfway between Joburg and PE. Would highly recommend it.
Overnight in Unit 1 and 2. 4 Pensioners. Unit 1: There was a smell in the bathroom and the fridge's freezer door was missing. Unit 2: our neighbors were playing loud music, the toilet/bathroom lights wouldn't come on, cockroaches were running under the sink, the kitchen cupboard doors looked very shabby.
Very neat and comfortable overnight accommodation.
Security gate was out of order.
Gariep Inn offers neat and simple self-catering units, ideal for overnight travellers. The Tsjailatyd restaurant is more of a sports bar than a restaurant, but the food was tasty and reasonably priced. Service was very friendly.
Rates reasonable with central location and tidy.
Everything you need. It was clean and tidy. The boat ride was a highlight!
The permises is well maintained, there was a peacefulness. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Will go back.
Nice overnight stay for those travelling far. Shops a bit expensive and just open at certain times, but it was on a Sunday.
Very peaceful, lovely atmosphere. Staff is very friendly. We were able to spend 3 nights there recuperating for our journey back and feeling overall fresh for the long road. Definitely another stop for us!
We couldn't sleep. During our stay there was noise till 03:00 in the morning.
See stars.
The pictures on the web page do not reflect the true image of the unit. The breakfast area is so narrow that it is uncomfortable to use for adults. Ceiling was not painted and not all lights worked. There was an unusable braai without grill.
For overnight accommodation its all good, clean and has an air-con for the hot days.
Eskom's unexpected power outages caught everyone off guard, but the other places could at least have provided for candles, which was not the case here.
The accommodation was clean and tidy. People had been kind. The double bed mattress is pretty much at its end, and they can look at replacing the mattress.
The kitchen facilities were not exactly sufficient to cook for a small family. There was dust/wool behind the bed, which shows that it has not been properly cleaned for a long time.
A lot of time and effort is spent on the exterior of the building to keep it tidy, unfortunately the same cannot be said of the rooms. The floor was dirty and the shower was dirty and leaking everywhere. The people made noise until late at night and the security gate for the premises was closed with a stone.
Accommodation was very nice. Will visit Gariep Inn again.
Lovely stay. The restaurant was a great surprise and the food was excellent.
Fortunately, just had to stay one night at Gariep Inn. The place is not recommended at all. The room was not clean. The bed linen was so old and worn that one didn't even want to sleep in the bed - we slept on the bed. My husband took the old blanket and covered the bed with it and I took the two old towels to cover it. The towels were worn and had to be replaced with the bed linen years ago. There was only one chair for 2 people in the room, and it was broken. The two pillows on the bed were full of lumps and the owner still asked you to pay for such a room. Never, ever again will Gariep Inn see us again!
Gariep-Inn's stay is value for money, the accommodation was lovely, clean and beautiful, and with the heat the air conditioner was a great comfort, the reception at the restaurant was friendly and very helpful, we would recommend Gariep-Inn anytime for family and friends.
It was very nice to stay.
We stayed at the Gariep Inn for 1 night, as a stopover on our way to Cape Town. Upon our arrival, we were kindly received by a lady at the Tjaila-tyd Restaurant, where we have to check in. We took a fridge and freezer with us - but we were in the Gariep much earlier than we had planned. Our request to just plug in the fridge or apply power was received without difficulty and they met us immediately. The room was spacious and tidy - exactly as advertised. We definitely got our money's worth. The whole atmosphere was relaxed and we could just rest, before we left early again the next morning. Parking was conveniently right in front of our room, and we didn't have a problem with parking for our van and stroller. We enjoyed a nice light lunch at the restaurant, it was freshly prepared and tasty. We will definitely stay there again.
Gariep Inn is conveniently close to the dam and there is a small supermarket and eatery within walking distance.
Very satisfying. We enjoyed it and stayed and slept well.
See stars.
Not the first time we spent the night there. Very neat, there is a small shop where you can buy meat to grill and if you don't feel like grilling there is a nice restaurant where you can sit and eat or they bring your food to your room. Will stay there again.
Nice place to sleep over, especially if you have children. Restaurant, shop located very close.
We have no complaints about Gariep Inn. It was the ideal overnight stay, halfway to Mossel Bay. Had a nice afternoon nap and enjoyed a nice dinner at their restaurant.
Clean and very neat rooms. Food fantastic!
We were very happy and highly recommend you. Thank you for good service.
Next time we will come in summer so that we can enjoy all the activities that the Gariep Inn has.
Very nice place to stay.
The accommodation was safe, clean and tidy, the hostess friendly and the surroundings very beautiful.
Good value for money. Has everything you need for an overnight stop. The restaurant's food was delicious and the service excellent.
It is a good overnight destination. The restaurant that's just next door is also very convenient.
Ideal for an overnight and exploring the area.
Would definitely recommend it.
Very nice place to take a break on a long journey.
The staff were friendly and even came to explain about the water break. They also warmed up our room before we arrived at 8.30 p.m, which was most welcome as it was freezing and shows that they care about their guests' needs and comfort. The restaurant and OK Grocery Shop on their premises is also a bonus, as you don't have to drive anywhere to get food and supplies.
Our stay was fantastic, we had a great time, barbecued and visited as a family. The staff were so helpful and friendly. The stay was short, but worth it. We were able to drive at 00:00 at night Which helped a lot with our trip.
See stars.
It's truly an oasis when the road is too long and the patience runs out. All the basics are available and then you are blessed with the beautiful view over the dam.
Fantastic, nice and friendly people.
It was a lovely experience.
Great stopover. Neat, clean, safe, great value.
We had a great time with you. Conveniently halfway on our trip and had a great meal at the restaurant.
Clean, safe, tidy, easily accessible.
Always a pleasure to spend the night here.
Friendly and professional staff, reception was excellent and restaurant great. Room was neat, clean and comfortable with nothing missing or lacking. Would love to stay there again.
We had a wonderful overnight stay, there is a swimming pool and restaurant also on the premises and the reception was very friendly and the rooms very tidy with everything you need. We also slept there again on the way back from the Cape, would definitely recommend it. Quiet and peaceful.
Comfortable on the road when traveling to Pretoria or back.
Gariep Inn is in een woord opgesom: Awesome. Pryse is bekostigbaar, die kamers is gerieflik en altyd netjies en skoon. Die restaurant om die draai maak dat 'n mens nie hoef te kook nie.
Very clean and tidy. I was traveling with my daughter and we slept in a chalet. OK mini market on site and has everything you need for a braai.
Very neat and comfortable accommodation. Ideal for a stopover between Gauteng and the Cape but longer will also work. Staff is friendly and very helpful.
Will definitely stay at Gariep Inn again. The rooms are neat and clean and well equipped. It's very convenient with a shop and eatery on the same premises, and all the people are very friendly. Definitely value for money.
We stayed here on our way back from vacation and it was a really good decision. The rooms are modern and neat and the air-conditioning was quite a winner. The restaurant is directly next door and their food is delicious and well priced. Everything one needs is provided: a fridge, kettle, TV, aircon and an en suite-bathroom. There's a swimming pool if you'd like to cool off and it's just a minute's drive from the Gariep Dam which is a must-see.
Gariep Inn is a lovely place to stay. Units well equipped, clean and tidy.
Very neat and clean rooms. The staff was helpful.
Thank you for the Weber that you offered us.
Very neat and comfortable overnight accommodation. Well equipped and comfortable with supermarket and restaurant within walking distance.
Very safe and peaceful with holiday atmosphere and ideal to an overnight stay.
Spacious and tidy rooms with everything you need. The restaurant is a nice place to visit with tasty food.
Nice and affordable accommodation.
Thank you very much! We had a lovely stay at Gariep Inn. It's close to a shopping center and other attractions such as the Gariep dam wall, which you can quickly view before your further journey. It's really peaceful and calm - peace of mind and a respite for the soul after the long journey. I would even spend a short vacation there!
Very nice, would use again anytime and also recommend.
We had a lovely stay at Gariep Inn. Thank you Corlene and your team for the hospitality. The restuarant next door makes delicious food and the shop is a bonus. The rooms were very clean and tidy. We will definitely visit Gariep Inn again.
See stars.
Excellent stopover after a long day on the road. Very neat and clean with air conditioning for the hot weather. Very friendly welcome. Definitely good value for money. Will stay there again.
If I had known that it was so beautiful here, I would certainly have stayed longer.
I always look forward to our next trip, knowing that there is a place for us to stay somewhere halfway, where we can rest up before we move on.
My mother and I had a mother-daughter holiday and Gariep Inn was our last overnight stay before we stopped at home. Gariep Inn felt like your home away from home! Very neat and comfortable, peaceful scenery very beautiful! Would definitely recommend to anyone. Food at restaurant was fragrant and very tasty.
I will definitely consider Gariep Inn in future. In the beginning I was very unsure when I saw their location, but when we gchecked in, I had a totally different opinion. It's a nice area. They are very friendly and considerate. Well done!
The places were clean and tidy. The food at the restaurant was excellent.
Great relaxing after a long and hot road! Lovely cool room and nice shower. Cute restaurant and other cute places to see. Most beautiful nature and sunset over the pond!
It's incredibly nice there. People are friendly. Rooms are well laid out. It was perfect for me and my wife.
Had a delightful stay, room neat and peaceful environment. Lovely bed! Went to go eat at the Gariep Hotel which provided the best view and delicious food!
Gariep Inn is always a comfortable overnight choice for us. Pretty and neat. Many improvements have been made since our first stay there. Will recommend Gariep Inn any time!
It's the second time we've stayed at Gariep Inn. This is now a must stop and overnight if we travel or want to drive around the area. The staff are so friendly and even the gardener makes you feel at home.
We have been using Gariep Inn for 3 years and have never been disappointed. Definitely value for money and good service.
Had very good and friendly service.
Great half way stop between Johannesburg and Cape Town.
We only used the place as a sleepover, had a good meal at the restaurant and left early in the morning. The place itself was pretty clean.
All good, maybe just renew fridges.
Comfortable and neat. Will stay here again.
This is the perfect stopover between Cape Town and Pretoria and is significantly cheaper than the Aventura resort at Gariep.
We have stayed overnight in many places but still think this is the best place for anyone who wants to stay overnight on the way to Cape Town from Gauteng, especially if you have small children. The aircon and pool is a winner! Highly recommend it to anyone.
This was our second visit to Gariep Inn. Will stay there again if I go in that direction again.
A great value for money stay. Super tidy and well equipped. Restaurant only so so.
Very nice overnight place. Motor safe at chalet parking. The lady that received us was very friendly and offered a box of milk and bottled water free of charge since we arrived on a Sunday afternoon and places were already closed. Only negative part was the fact that we were not aware that the restaurant closed early on Sunday and opens Mondays only in the afternoon. It may have to be clearly mentioned on the website as we chose the place for the restaurant and thus did not have to drive far after the long trip.
Chalet is well equipped with everything we needed. The large ice-freezer is a winner. Braai provided helped to be able to have fun braai and relax on the stoep. Will come again.
Comfortable overnight accommodation for travelers on the long road, there is also a restaurant. We had a great stay!
Garipe Inn's rooms are spacious, clean, tidy and the linen durable. Really very good value for money. Parking is right next to the room. So you don't have to unload the whole vehicle. However, the open gate was a little worrying for us who come from Gauteng.
Convenient with restaurant and supermarket next to accommodation.
Accommodation was neat and good value for money. Good place to spend the night.
The room was very neat and well equipped. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Even after the kitchen closed, they offered to make us pizza. Very impressed with the saff.
Content. Affordable.
Very cute place. Lovely with the pool and air conditioners in units. Units were nice and clean.
Pleasantly surprised with the place to stay. Everything was clean and tidy and also no noise at night.
Thank you very much for a peaceful, hospitable overnight stay. Would have liked to have a microwave (previous stays had one available) for road food heating.
Safe, well maintained facilities. Children enjoyed swimming pool. Restaurant's food was delicious!
The place is sufficient for an overnight stay if you are traveling between Gauteng and Cape Town. Everything was neat and worked. Not too expensive.
Delightful oasis in the middle of nowhere. A nice stopover on the way to your final destination, where you can even stay an extra night.
The room was neat, but the door has a big gap underneath which lets dust in and the floor is therefore always full of sand. There was also a slot in our door through which any person could peek and look on the bed. It was not pleasant. Day one, there was no hand soap or towel. Day two, there was soap and a towel, but no shower mat. Day three the towel was gone! The staff (waitresses) at Tjailatyd are extremely friendly and a real asset. Our neighbors also stayed for two days and played disturbing music on a mobile phone day and night. It wasn't nice. Furthermore, the place is neat and spacious and we appreciated the room service.
Will definitely use you again if we come north again.
Neat and clean and fair rate. Tjailatyd Restaurant, which is part of the complex's food is also tasty and reasonable!
See star-rating.
My husband and I have been staying at Gariep Inn every time we go to PE and when we come back home. It is safe and affordable to sleep over there. The service is excellent. Can recommend anyone to use their services.
We have been staying at Gariep Inn for the last 6 years and are still satisfied every time. Every year we see that improvements are made and the rooms are kept clean and tidy. I will always refer people to Gariep Inn.
We were three ladies and it was one affordable place that provided 3 separate beds.

Safe. Clean. Suitable for an overnight stay on a trip.
Perfect halfway stop with friendly people.
The convenience of the adjacent Tjailatyd Restaurant is a bonus!
Thank you. Very clean and convenient.

Thank you very much.
Expected more than we found. I understood that these are self-catering units but there is no kitchenware to meet self-catering. However, the on-site restaurant offers great meals and satisfied our hunger there.
Very neat and clean, close to N1 and ideal for overnight stays.
Everything a person needs.
The apartment pleasantly surprised me. It was clean, tidy and everything was in working order. No broken glass, tiles, windows or dirty walls with marks on them. Braai facilities are available at the unit itself which multiplies one's options for relaxation. The unit is centrally located near a restaurant, supermarket and liquor store. Just a stone's throw from Gariepdam with a wonderful sunset to round off the day. In short, excellent value for money and located in a peaceful, beautiful setting.
Neat overnight accommodation at an affordable rate. We will definitely stay there again.
Very nice place to sleep over.
We were traveling from Cape Town and were looking for a place to stay at a reasonable price. Gariep Inn offers the ideal self-catering accommodation that is neat and clean.
Nice clean, tidy and TV works well. Aircon lovely - on a negative note, the beds are awful. Crack, I slept 3 hours that night before driving back. Especially unit 2. Last time that unit was ok. But the time at no 2 beds were a problem.
Pleasant stay with helpful people. The restaurant nearby also excellent.
Comfortable overnight stay with everything you need.
The morning we left we had to shower in cold water. The barbeque tongs could also be of better quality, I couldn't even turn a piece of barbeque.
Clean and tidy, but very basic accommodation. Suitable for one night overnight stay, will not simply stay longer than one night.
We just wanted an overnight stay and Gariep Inn was perfect. We were really surprised especially by the delicious food at the restaurant next door.
It's very convenient with the restaurant and shop just 100 meters from the room.
Outside lights just make rooms very light throughout the evening.
Clean, but there were quite a lot of mosquito’s. We were four people, but only one person could shower as the hot ran out very quickly. Could also not have coffee before we left early morning the next day as there was no power to the wall plugs in the kitchenette area. Otherwise a good stopover facility.
We are happy with what we got for the price.
This was our 3rd visit to Gariep Inn, but will not be back. The air conditioner in the room did not work and was replaced by a portable one (the motor of the air-con is on the inside). It made such a noise that we could not sleep, the fan in the room did not help either. We ordered take-aways from the restaurant and waited an hour and fifteen minutes for it. It does not seem like the facilities could handle the number of people.
Pillows were uncomfortable, could not open windows for security reasons and can't sleep, with air conditioning. Security was a concern as the gates weren't closed for the night. Neighbours were noisy until 01:30 in the morning, so no supervision in that regard. Meal at the restaurant was very good, fresh, hot and value for money. Checking-in staff friendly.
Pros: There is an air conditioner in the room. Free Wi-Fi. Minuses: The shower in room 14's hot water faucet makes a tremendous noise - I thought the neighbors were drilling a hole in the wall when my wife took a shower. There is no holder for the toilet roll. There is no microwave and the small fridge is tiny. There are no easily accessible wall plugs for cell phones etc. not to load. The only sink is inside the room (outside the bathroom) with no towel rail. It should be used for dishes as well as personal hygiene. The mattress was just tired. Beware! The air conditioner's remote control turns off the TV! If you like your privacy, rooms 13 and up are not for you. Your room door looks right onto the pool.
All good. Security is lacking. The name is not clear at all, the old name is still up and it is misleading.
Gariep Inn only exists in name now. Registration is at the restaurant/bar named Tjailatyd, close to Forever Resorts and next to the OK shopping centre. It is really a big frustration and the name change without directions amazes everyone, even at Gariepdam. Electric installation of electricity points at the accommodation is directly at the basin and tap - if someone gets electrocuted it won't be an accident. Inefficient use of limited scarce space. Tidiness is not a priority at all. Maybe bikers can stay there if they need cheap accommodation, but I cannot recomment it.
Gariep is only for overnight not for a weekend because there is nothing for the children to do.
We were very tired, because we had already been on the road from the Western Cape for 10 hours. The cool pool was the first refreshing sight to greet us. The rooms are spacious and the bathrooms large and comfortable. The complimentary coffee was the ideal ending before we went to bed. Will book here again anytime!
We stayed here in 2016 and 2017 and highly recommend it - very nice!
We slept well and the air conditioning kept the room cool. The restaurant Tjailatyd has very good food and a nice atmosphere with very friendly staff. They just need to put extra wall plug in the room so that mobile phones can be charged and hair can be blow dried. There are no facilities for it, just the wall plug where the air conditioning is, which sits high on the wall.
An awesome experience, just a problem with halaal food but loved the accommodation.
The place is neat and clean. We sat on our porch, ordered food and ate right there. We also slept well and will stay there again. Everyone was very friendly and helpful.
Was kindly received, place is ideally located and was in a large room which was perfect for our night. Will visit and recommend Gariep Inn again.
Very cute, comfortable, great restaurant.
Our reception was very friendly and helpful. Arrived early, expecting to be shown the door as we only got the room for 2 hours. It was no problem and we were able to get the room key right away. The room is very neat and modern furnished.
Ensured for us as a family a lovely memorable stopover! If top shelf - thank you!
We regularly use Gariep Inn's hospitality and know exactly what to expect. Just what we need to make the long road shorter.
Very friendly and comfortable.
I make a lot of use of chalets and Gariep Inn beats them all. Everyone is so hospitable and friendly. Wish I could stay a month.
We had a great time and the food at Tjalatyd was excellent. Calm atmosphere. Will stay there again.
Sal enige tyd enigiemand verwys na Gariep Inn.
We have been using this overnight accommodation for quite some time and could not ask for better. Friendly and professional service. Definitely recommend.
Have stayed at Gariep Inn more than once. Restaurant has excellent food and very affordable. Location ideal.
Very nice stay. The bed needs some oil. The food and service at their Tjaila tyd restaurant was top notch. Will definitely support them again.
Gariep Inn's people are hospitable and very friendly.
Neat accommodation with spacious rooms as well as air conditioning which made the stay very comfortable.
The restaurant next door has the best food. Just bring your own towels.
Nice place to spend the night en route to our next destination.
Safe, comfortable accommodation for the long road. Clean and neat with everything you need in the room. Excellent service and great value for your money at the restaurant.
Neat rooms and very comfortable.
Pleasant accommodation, convenient on your way north or south.
Unit is fully equipped as needed for a night's sleepover.
Would love to stay longer next time.
It was a perfect overnight stay. The chalet had everything we needed. Highly recommended.

The friendly late at night reception after a difficult day is really appreciated! Affordable, comfortable and clean accommodation which makes it easy to return to.
After we travelled for 12 hours and stopped at Gariep-Inn late the evening, we were so tired and really just wanted to take a bath and go to sleep. From the moment we pulled up it was only a pleasure. From the reception, to the service, to the facilities, to the clean and convenient rooms, everything was perfect! Thanks a lot for the safe, good night's sleep. I would recommend Gariep-Inn anytime!
Reception was friendly and the room is neat and clean. The fact that the restaurant is so closeby is a big bonus. We had a lovely meal there every night.
Had a great time at Gariep Inn (we stayed there on our way to the Cape and on our way back - which says a lot already). We stayed in Chalet 1, very tasteful, clean and equipped. Beautiful place and the people are very friendly and it was just really nice.
We were so impressed with our stay at Gariep Inn on the way to our journey to the Cape that we booked it on the way home 14 days later. Both times we enjoyed our stay in Chalet 1. Each of the chalets have their own built-in braai with a table and chairs outside where you sit and enjoy it in peace. The chalet was very clean and tidy and had everything you need to be self-sufficient. We will definitely stop there again. Thank you Gariep Inn.
About 6 times a year we head to the Western Cape and Eastern Cape from Tzaneen in Limpopo. Gariep Inn provides all the necessities and it's a fantastic stopover destination. We have access to all the facilities within walking distance from our room. Clean shops and an affordable restaurant is the icing on the cake!
It was the best experience, the area is clean, quiet.

The rooms were really clean, peaceful atmosphere, very good night's sleep.
Rooms were neat and comfortable. Restaurant food was great and value for money.
Stay was very nice, communication was fantastic, reception very friendly and helpful. Unit was comfortable with everything we needed. Will definitely stay at Gariep Inn again in the future. Would definitely recommend for an overnight stay.
The rooms inside are really beautiful and spotless, with very good and white bedding. It was wonderful to spend the night in such a place after a long day on the road and be able to take a wonderful shower. I would definitely recommend it as a place to stay overnight. Rooms are very tasteful and well furnished.
It is very nicely located, close to the N1. With the restaurant and the supermarket next door it is very convenient after a long day's driving.
Always clean, pet friendly and a fantastic stop over for our long travels from Limpopo to Eastern or Western Cape.
Very neat, clean and convenient!
Very comfortable, clean and tidy - value for money, only a pity there was no water when I left 05:00 in the morning - could not wash face, shower or make coffee.
Gariep Inn is a very neat place. Can strongly recommend for a relaxed overnight stay en route between Gauteng and the Cape.
Very clean and neat, value for money. Lovely with aircon. Double bed in chalet 5 has a severe cracking noise.
After a long journey we had a little trouble finding the place. The nameplate was not very large. We were greeted very kindly and went to our room. Rooms are really neat and are more than we expected! With a calm and quiet atmosphere, we were able to rest well and continue our journey to our holiday destination.
Cute place for an overnight stay. The pool was a lovely bonus in the hot weather, and something to keep the kids busy after the long drive.
See stars.
The road from Gauteng to the Eastern and Western Cape is just too long and this was a great overnight stop where our dog was also welcome. Nice braai facilities right at the swimming pool in front of the rooms.
My husband and I were travelling on a bike trip and found the spot very convenient. There is a lovely restaurant close by and a grocery store for all your needs on your door step. The rooms were well decorated and sufficient in size plus very clean and tidy. We would definitely book in there again if we passed by on our way to the Eastern Cape again.
We arrived at Gariep Inn late afternoon, tired and hungry. We had a delicious meal at Tjailatyd and were able to take a shower afterwards and enjoy a great night's rest for the next day's long drive. Many thanks to everyone.
Clean. Good location. Value for money.
Gariepp Inn was spotless, everything worked, close to the N1. Delicious food and reasonably priced at Tjailatyd Restaurant.
We will stay there again. Neat, clean and very friendly.
Will go back.
Friendly reception and the staff are very helpful.
The rooms were very neat and clean and more luxurious than we first thought. Also had aircon.
Neji travelers overnight stay. Not intended for holiday accommodation. Clean, tidy and user-friendly.
Everything needed is there.
Great. Tjailatyd restaurant was top notch. The food on the menu as well as the prices are worth writing home about. Would recommend it to any traveller on their way to Cape Town. Friendly staff. Thanks again!
See stars.
See rating.
I think it's a bit expensive for 2 people, great customer service, polite and nice, room very clean and tidy, nice decor, just feels very at home. The location is good. Will definitely stay there again or even take a vacation.
Very nice overnight destination.
I really recommend Gariep Inn to anyone who needs to spend the night.
Very neat and clean rooms. Pool and braai facilities were clean. Restaurant was average and very busy.
Met our needs, we needed a stopover between Johannesburg and Cape Town. Had what we needed for a comfortable overnight stay and showers. Adequate beverages, tea and coffee.
Value for money and clean accommodation with friendly staff.
It was a cosy, neat place to sleep. Lovely, comfortable mattress and bedding. Warm, clean shower. Reception was friendly and very helpful and accommodating. Thanks.
My stay was only for the night, so I cannot comment on a longer term, in any case we are very satisfied and will use the accommodation again.
Wonderful place to overnight - unit was neat and clean.
Our night at Gariep Inn was pretty good except for one or two small problems, nothing major. Would recommend the place.
Neat, spacious, cheap chalet. No wardrobes. The chalet is cleaned over weekends. Smoke free. Pet-friendly. Electricity socket right next to the basin in the kitchen.
See rating.
I would like to recommend the accommodation and the meal in the restaurant tasty.
Neat and clean with everything that you need.
We had a great time and after a long day on the road the restaurant is a nice bonus.
Only spent 1 night there.
Gariep Inn is nice and close to the road and the shops. You can relax at the pool or sit on the patio and enjoy the pretty surrounding area.
Good service from our hostess - was in contact with her the entire time before we arrived - very friendly and helpful. Good value for money. Unit is old, but very neat and clean - very satisfied! Everything was in working condition.
Perfect place to relax after a long journey.
It was very pleasant, thank you so much. We enjoyed the stay and the meal and slept well.
Has everything that you need.
It's now my third year that we spend the night at Gariep Inn. Never waited for my room, als was always right and tidy.
Very cute place will stay there again.
Ideal location for an overnight stay if you are on your way to the Cape.
Very neat and clean accommodation. Value for money, but alas, that bed and pillows are rock hard, so not so comfortable.
Basic amenities were provided at a reasonable price.
Friendly received upon arrival. Peaceful and quiet rooms. The floors in the room is unequal and there were dead flies in the bathroom. Attention can be given to cleaning.
Food and drink walking distance away. Swimming pool relaxing and refreshing.
Comfortable and tidy overnight accommodation. Restaurant serves delicious food!
Comfortable overnight stay in a tourist-friendly environment that offers plenty of entertainment and relaxation.
Positive: affordable, well located, slept well. Negative: room needs renovation (walls look dirty). There was only a small amount of toilet paper on the roll. Furniture is basic and rickety. Summary: comfortable place to spend the night on the Cape.
It's nice and clean and the price is good.
It was neat. A bit smaller than it seems on the photos.
Unit 1 wasn't as clean and neat as Unit 4 a week before. Children of other guests kicked up a racket throughout the night so we had to pack our things and leave between 2 and 5 in the morning. No rest. No freezer section in the fridge.
In general neat, but loads of litter especially behind room 8 and hundreds of buds.
Our overall experience was one of great disappointment. Following the photos and description, we were really looking forward to a quiet place to spend the night, where we could get enough rest and sleep after a long day on the road. Although we arrived very early (well before 14:00), we were kindly received and checked in quickly. The rooms are clean and tidy and facilities are sufficient for an overnight stay. What we did find uncomfortable was that the bathroom and toilet window is directly next to the "neighbour's" barbecue and socializing area. The gate and entrance area is also very busy until late at night/early morning which makes it almost impossible to sleep and get a good/necessary night's rest. Will definitely not use or recommend Gariep Inn again.
Very friendly service. The restaurant's food is very tasty.
Value for money for a family of 4 needing a clean room for a stopover.
Coreen was most helpful and accommodating. However, the walls are thin and our neighbours were at it until late. My children were perturbed and very taken aback by the experience, and we couldn't wait to hit the road the following day. Also, it was rather hot, and although the aircon was in working order it gave off a horrible smell. We couldn't open any windows either due to the lack of security. I will probably not consider the Inn in any future travels.
The accommodation was clean but the bed was very hard, it felt as if we slept on cement, have never slept so badly. And the shower's drain was blocked.
Unfortunately we were expecting self-catering, but there was no microwave and only one plate. No cutlery or coffee/tea supplied.
The accommodation was very neat inside and bed linen clean, there were a few things missing in the kitchen such as not having a variety of glasses and not having a braai dish for the braai meat. At night, the dogs of surrounding houses were a bit disturbing, otherwise fine.
My biggest problem was that there was no hot water. The other guests in the chalets experienced the same. The besurer did not respond to sms. There were also no teaspoons in the chalet, how are you supposed to make coffee.
Gariep Inn was a very disappointing start to our holiday. The room was very, very small and the grounds didn't look anything like what is on the site. Also the beds were very hard. My feeling is that it would be great for couples with young kids, but we were friends travelling together and felt a little uncomfortable in such a small space. The shower head in our unit was coming out of the wall and made for a difficult shower as it was directed at the wall. There was no enclosed space for our dog, which was rather annoying as all the dogs roam freely and could easily run into the main road if not careful. This also upset some of the staff as they were very nervous about our doggie and would come to our room to deliver our food. All and all I would rather stay elsewhere as there are a good selection of better places in the area in the same price range.
It was problem-free to get booked in. Thanks to TravelGround everything went smoothly. I will use TravelGround every time.
It is set apart from the other places and is not a part of the resort. The area looks bad, the house is old and there isn't much in the way of crockery. Wouldn't stay here again.
We got lost from the Cape and had to find another place to stay. So we lost our money.
We stayed at Bokmakierie 40. The place smelled like it was not cleaned in months, there were dangerous screws sticking out of a drawer, bathtub was dirty, security was poor, towel rails were either broken or just not there, oven didn't close, fridge was unstable and the towels had holes in them.
Very basic. Felt like old-school school camp facilities. Didn't feel very safe, just drove through to Pretoria from Cape Town.
The Inn was very spacious and we enjoyed our stay. Had a lovely pool. Will come again.
Gariep Inn is a beautiful place and the ideal stopover between Gauteng and Cape Town. I can highly recommend it!
Very neat and tranquil and the restaurant and OK is a bonus.
We had a great stay. The view of the dam is extraordinary. The restaurant's food was also excellent. Highly recommend Gariep Inn.
Value for money! Very comfortable, neat and clean!
The accommodation was reasonable and clean and exactly what was needed.
I only stay at Gariep Inn if my husband or I have to travel to Pretoria. The rooms aren't just everything we need for an overnight stay, but the reception is also warm and the rooms always neat and clean. We will make use of this in the future again for longer periods, without even looking at other accommodations. Well done Gariep Inn, you guys are doing an awesome job. Keep it up.
Everything was comfortable and clean. There was unfortunately no washing up facilities for the dishes if you wanted to braai though. Otherwise it was nice and safe.
This is an ideal stop over place if you are travelling light and want to rest in a relaxed, clean and friendly environment.
Good overnight-stop if you are on the road.
Folks, Gariep Inn is the perfect destination to stay between Cape Town and Johannesburg. The accommodation there is absolutely fantastic. You feel welcome from the moment you arrive and you try to delay the departure time as far as possible. I will stay there again and again and again! Your service and facilities are great!
It was the perfect overnight stop on our way to Cape Town. Very nice restaurant and beautiful rooms!
Close to N1, everything you need. Delicious food at restaurant.
Very tidy and fully equipped. Perfect customer service. The restaurant and shop on the premises is a huge plus. Highly recommended.
A place where you can quickly make friends and relax and also eat in the restaurant. I highly recommend it.
Thankyou for a wonderful stay.
I can recommend Gariep Inn to anyone. The room was beautiful, neat, and the stay was excellent, fresh linen. Well done guys!
Thank you, we enjoyed our stay here for the second time and will make use of your facilities again anytime.
Beautiful, clean, safe and friendly service. Will definitely recommend it. And I will definitely stay there again!
Our overnight accommodation at Gariep Inn was very convenient. The houses are extremely clean. Thailatyd definitely has the best pizza in SA! The OK supermarket has everything you might need, even quality meat!
It is very clean and the facilities are excellent. Will make use of them again.
Was a nice and clean chalet, with the necessary amenities, would book it again.
All right. Clean, auction and quiet.
We can recommend them. Very neat and lovely stay. Each room has its own facilities such as braai.
The unit was very neat and clean. Can maybe only recommend for a wardrobe. There is a small shop and restaurant right on your doorstep. We would have liked to visit a small gift shop, but there was none (there was a sign but no shop). The route to Gariepdam itself is breathtakingly beautiful and just around the corner. So many viewpoints and then even at the dam where we could walk around or barbecue.
We enjoyed it all. Only one problem. No 1 double room's curtains are transparent and there is therefore no privacy at night. We had to hang a blanket to block the lights shining from outside and thus showing us to everyone.
Lovely stay. Was disappointed at not being able have our morning coffee as there was no electricity.
Has everything needed after a long day on the road.
See the stars.
Will definitely stay there again.
Value for money with air conditioning. Hot water was a bit scarce in the evening, but more than adequate in the morning. The OR and the liquor store are within walking distance. The Tjailagyd restaurant's food was delicious and your vehicle is right in front of your door. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay overnight.
Very nice stay at Gariep Inn. We also slept over on the way back from the Cape. Stayed in one of the new rooms, very tidy with good beds, linen etc. The only negative is that there is no mirror above the sink, so it's hard for men to shave, but otherwise it's 100%. We will stay there again and have already highly recommended it to friends and family.
The bed was a bit hard, but otherwise we had a very nice stay. The food at the restaurant where we had dinner was of good quality, with very large portions. Prices not unaffordable either. We would stay there again.
The residential unit is neat and well equipped. All problem is that the water pressure in the shower is weak.
We will stay longer the next time!
The room was very neat and had everything we needed for the night. We got there very late and the lady kept in touch to make sure we got the place and made sure we could get in. Thank you very much for that.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was nice and quiet and just what we needed to rest for the next day's journey down to Cape Town. Thank you very much.
Beds are very hard, I got up with back pain. Very well located, well equipped and conveniently close to restaurant and shop.
It was very nice. Recommendation: The restaurant at the units may be open later on a Sunday. It will be much more convenient.
A view of the dam would have been nice!
Neat, clean and good location.
We were very satisfied with the accommodation at Gariep Inn. The place was very neat and definitely value for money.
Gariep Inn is very tidy, clean, and good value for money. And they allowed us to check in a bit earlier, we really appreciated it after a long day on the road with two young kids.
Could sleep peacefully. Room is well equipped and very spacious. Gardens are well maintained and people friendly.
It was a nice getaway. The manager was very accommodating. Just get a hanging closet and kitchen cabinet, please. It's really a need.
The people were friendly and helpful. The chalet was what I expect from overnight accommodation. There was no noise.
It is very comfortable and the air conditioning was a wonderful experience.
Very neat and quiet. The restaurant has very nice food. Very glad they are pet friendly.
It was very nice. Nothing more than what we had is needed. Thank you very much for the peacefulness.
See the stars.
We stayed 2 nights. They have friendly service with a restaurant that doubles as reception. Rooms are air-conditioned and there is a communal swimming pool to relax in.
The pool and aircon are very convenient after a long day's driving.
We were satisfied with the rooms and the service. It was clean, modern and peaceful. There is a shop and restaurant at the inn whihc made it very convenient. It is also nice for children because there is a swimming pool and jungle gym. It is just opposite the Gariep Dam, so it is truly worth staying there. Thanks so much for the good service!
It is a neat and clean place. Very convenient with shops and restaurants closeby. Will definitely visit again and stay over.
It is a blessing and just at the right spot between KZN and the Cape. You know what to expect and they meet all your basic needs. Thank you.
As we did last time, we had a wonderful stay at Gariep Inn. Many thanks to the friendly staff who helped us quickly when we wanted a braai drum.
Coreen deserves compliments for the way she goes out of her way to be helpful and considerate.
Friendly reception and neat, clean accommodation with everything you need for an overnight stay.
Stayed over on our way to Jeffrey's Bay. The unit was clean and neat. Will definitely make use of Gariep Inn in future.
We slept well and the room was clean and tidy.
The apartment is very comfortable and fully equipped for a 1 night stay. I will definitely use it again.
Will stay overnight again.
Rustig en pragtig! Sal dit aanbeveel.
Can definitely recommend it.
Friendly staff and good location close to the shops. Our accommodation was well equipped and peaceful. There are a lot of nice places in this area, but all more expensive than Gariep Inn. So this is a good choice if you need to stay a night or two in this area. We will definitely stay there again.
Neat and convenient overnight spot. You don't need anything more.
Upon our arrival, we were kindly helped at the restaurant's counter. Room was neat and clean. Value for money if it is for one night's accommodation. Will support them again if the opportunity presents itself.
Neat, comfortable place for 2 people. Not recommended if you have toddlers, much too small then. Only stayed one night. Pool not fenced, bit dangerous for toddlers. Otherwise, very quaint little place!
Keep up the great service! Remember, the people who stay over usually come a long way to get there. They are tired and appreciate your service.
Apartment is fully equipped with everything needed for 1 night's stay. Would definitely recommend. Just not sure about the security of the vehicle because the gate was open all night and not sure if there is security around.
We only stayed one night, but there is friendly help and clean rooms. Can recommend for about two nights. There's just not much to do for the kids if you want to spend the night at the place itself for longer than two days. If you have no children, it is very nice accommodation and the restaurant has excellent meals.
After travelling in the hottest day of the year we hoped for a swim only to find the pool a pea green. Modern features but no soap in the dispenser.
It was a good stopover from Cape Town to Johannesburg.
Neat and well equipped for an overnight stay.
The bathroom floor and toilet floor were dirty. The bathroom mats were dirty and old.
Friendly, clean and neat.
The accommodation was sufficient for our needs and we would make Gariep a definite overnight stop on future journeys.
The braai facilities are inadequate: no braai tongs and braai had not been cleaned. There were crisp papers and empty bacon packets in one of the drawers from a previous resident. The TV's reception was very poor and was white and black. I had to wash a pot before I could use it and there was no dish cloth or scourer.
Gariep Inn is only suitable for overnight stays. There are no facilities for dinner or breakfast. Unit 12: No "no smoking" sign in the room and one can smell that people have been smoking there. The sink in the room is for the cups and cutlery as well as for washing and shaving. The room is neat but poorly equipped such as e.g. no table or chairs.
They have everything you need and a good restaurant and supermarket. Not too bad.
The Luxury rooms had not been luxury and the beds had not been clean either.
First, our room that we booked is not available. Then they gave to "better" room which was more expensive. We arrive an hour early and the woman complains that we are early, but gives the key anyway. Don't say welcome or anything. The room was no better then, because it was their chalet which is basically a "bachelors flat". I then slept a little and woke up with such a body ache that I could never last a whole night. We then just got up and drove on through the night. The bed was very weak. There wasn't even a bar of soap at the sink. We only found out later that the only soap in the place was in the shower, in a "dispenser". You have to use a huge amount of imagination to see how the photo on LekkeSlaap is the same place we stayed. Stay far away. Gariep Inn, your personal service will need to improve greatly. You cannot try to run a corporate guest house in a small place. Be friendly, walk to the room together, show people around. Ask if something is short and put a paper in the room with a questionnaire. Personally, I will not use you again.
Very good experience. Clean rooms love the pool. All that bothered us a bit was the time we could check in. Left Bloemfontein early to escape the heat, but had to wait in the heat anyway for our keys. Also love the Gariep Inn will definitely come again. Thank you very much.
Nicely rested. Nice meal at Tjailatyd restaurant. Neat and clean.
Very nice units with beautiful rooms. Our 13 year old child traveled with us and forgot to take a mattress with us. I only booked a room with a double bed but got permission in advance to bring a mattress for him which I had forgotten. Staff were very helpful and immediately arranged a mattress for me. Rooms are beautifully clean. Had a delicious breakfast there instead of Drive to Colesberg where it would be busy. Beautiful blue pool with green grass. Amenities are very nicely maintained. We will definitely stay there again. Thank you Gariep Inn.
Very neat and well equipped accommodation.
See the stars.
We will spend the night there again or maybe stay longer.
Only stayed one night. It met our requirements.
We don't know the area at all, are from Malmesbury and looked for and found affordable accommodation. Was really value for money. Neat, clean and very comfortable. Will book there again and also recommend it to friends and family. We have already told our friends from Malmesbury about this and are sure they may stay there tomorrow night.
Beautiful place, nice sleep over. We can recommend the Tjailatyd restaurant's pizzas. The full DStv was a bonus.
See the stars.
We only slept there for one night to travel on the next day.
Clean, easy to find, and the food is good.
We spent the night here on 2 occasions. Every time it was clean and tidy and the reception great, even after hours.
The place is small, but you couldn't ask for better. It has everything you need for a nice overnight stay if you venture the long way. Even the children were surprised and enjoyed it very much. The restaurant's staff is friendly with a tasty menu for the hungry. Of all the places we've slept over, this one was tops!
Really nice stay. Will definitely stay there again.
Very neat and clean accommodation. Had a good reception. Will definitely use it again.
Only with the Sunday night's stay was there no toilet paper and the shower mat was gone.
Thank you for a neat stay and facilities. We will definitely return to this overnight stop in the future.
Would encourage others to stay there.
It was very comfortable, clean, tidy and well laid out. Will definitely use Gariep Inn again.
I will stay at the Gariep Inn again. Excellent facilities, swimming pool for relaxation after a hot day on the road and the restaurant's menu is extensive. The meals are tasty and good value for money.
Value for money! Good rest stop half way and good facilities!
Well equipped units, especially if you bring frozen fish from the Cape back to Gauteng. Unit has a freezer available.
I had a great time staying at Gariep Inn! The reception was very friendly and the bar close by. It definitely helps if you don't want to cook yet either. The area is also very quiet and I would definitely stay again!
Nice stay, good overnight facilities.
No complaints except the grasshoppers that swarmed the grass. Otherwise no complaints. We were kindly received and the unit was spotlessly clean. A large freezer and fridge - we really appreciated it! I forgot my handbag with all my cards and large amount of cash in the unit the morning we drove to Bethulie. The cleaners came in the morning while we were away, put everything away and nothing was taken from my handbag! Many thanks to the people who cleaned, you deserve a big thumbs up, remember I'm from Gauteng! Should I travel in the direction again, I will definitely stay at Gariep Inn!
Pleasant cottage that meets all requirements for an overnight stay. Air conditioning was a pleasant surprise.
Thank you very much, enjoyed the overnight stay! Great appreciation for the good service received.
The facilities were perfectly adequate and the air conditioning was a bonus. Had a great stay and ate well at the restaurant.
Good stop half way on our route and with the heat, a nice pool to cool off in.
See stars.
Neat and clean, and value for money for one night's stay.
Clean place, close to everything in Gariep.
We were very impressed with Gariep Inn. Neat, clean and convenient location. Will definitely stay there again.
See the stars.
Nice to relax and sleep over on route.
The administration and communication were excellent! We were greeted by very friendly staff and immediately felt welcome. The house was very neatly furnished and spotlessly clean. The dinner at their restaurant was a wonderful experience. We can definitely recommend this accommodation and will definitely use it again in the future!
See the stars.
Delicious with friendly service.
Would recommend to friends but not to enemies as I don't want them to share the deliciousness.
Please see the stars.
The Tsailatyd restaurant, which is part of the complex, offers delicious meals that offer good value for money. Many thanks also to LekkeSlaap ─ your service is great.
See stars.
Neat and well planned close to the N1, centrally located.
It's very nice clean and tidy. Nothing more needed for a night's sleepover. With the restaurant nearby, we didn't even have to cook. Nice meal next to the fireplace. Thank you all - it was nice to stay there.
It is pet friendly which is important to us for our little dog. Tjailatyd Restaurant which is part of the complex offers good food at reasonable prices.
Was definitely good value for money and can definitely recommend Gariep Inn! It was a nice, clean and neat half way stop!
We slept comfortably and will definitely stay there again.
Clean, tidy and affordable. I would only suggest that the curtains be replaced and that a bedside lamp be added.
Couldn't complain about anything. The sheets may have been a bit small for the double bed, but otherwise everything was fine.
It was a nice stopover from Mossel Bay. Can recommend it. Also easy to view and book over the internet.
Carien was very friendly and helpful.
Gariep Inn is comfortable overnight accommodation and we will definitely stay there again. It is very clean and tidy and the service was excellent.
The unit is uplifting and clean - we had a pleasant stay. The location is ideal for overnight accommodation.
The room was fresh and tidy, everything was fine. Would definitely recommend the overnight rooms.
The room was fresh and everything was clean and tidy.
All that was a problem at Gariep Inn is the fridge that doesn't get cold. They responded quickly and brought a new one, but the new one didn't cool either.
There was not a fan in the room as advertised.
Stay was pleasant, but the whole setup at the dam is deteriorating. Doesn't look like maintenance is done and it's very sad dam is one of the famous resort.
Get yourself a takeaway and have a nice meal on the stoep. Delicious! It's just very far from here. More signs with directions from Colesberg would prevent a lot of confusion.
The overnight facilities were very neat and comfortable. Just sorry about the activities that were a bit difficult during our stay, but I understand that additional accommodation must be created.
They were busy with additions and with the constant passing of the workers it was quite disturbing, but otherwise there were no problems.
It meets exactly what we required - just overnight accommodation.
We checked in very late and left very early again, but will definitely use Gariep Inn again for an overnight stay.
Always received and treated kindly. On a previous occasion helped with freezing facilities. Go out of their way to be helpful.
Facilities clean and tidy. Get value for your money.
The facilities were more than adequate for our overnight stay in Gariep. Would even recommend it for a few days stay.
These are very nice overnight units. Will use it again.
Pleasant place, everything within walking distance. The Tjailatyd Restuarant's food was really tasty and good value for money.
Everything was clean and tidy and would definitely do it again if I had to drive that far!
Neat and clean rooms. The only criticism is the pool which was green due to weather conditions.
Nice clean, quiet and private.
Upon our arrival there was a problem with the water supply to our unit, but they moved us to a much larger house quickly and at no extra cost. Very good service.
Everything was good except TV had only one channel that worked.
We only stayed the night on our way to Montagu. Gariep Inn has been busy with renovations to most of the units and when completed it will be pleasant.
In terms of safety, my concern was that there was no access control at all. Just an electric gate or boom might give some sense of security.
The accommodation was good and I will use it again as a stopover on the way. Attention may only need to be given to the following and will perhaps be resolved even after the construction itself: The wire behind the extensions is loose and anyone can walk in there - not feeling safe. Initial stay "smelled" badly of smoke inside, but luckily we got another unit because lock didn't work. There was no hot water, but it was soon rectified when we mentioned it (fortunately found out the night before to be able to take a bath/shower in the morning before leaving).
Clean, tidy, basic accommodation.
The cottage we stayed in was very well equipped. It has everything you need. The sleeping facilities were very good, as was the relaxation, regarding the lounge etc. The only problem we had is that the house provided to us does not look like it does in the picture. And the reason I gave security a 2 was because there were no locks on the gates at all. We heard from residents that the area is very safe, but you only have that extra peace of mind when there are locks around the gates (eg workers just walked into the yard to pick up the rubbish). I don't think it was that big of a deal, but for people (like us) who are used to locking everything up it was a reasonable adjustment. I would recommend the accommodation (just bring your own locks).
We were not housed in the accommodation in the advert. We were about 2 km from the restaurant. The dust bin had a lid missing. One bedside lamp wasn't working. One bedroom fan not working. One globe missing in one of the rooms.
The location is very convenient, unfortunately not with a pond view, but the Pub & Restaurant right next door makes it convenient to get something to eat and drink after a long drive. The shop also right next door makes it convenient to quickly get something for the road before you leave again the next morning. Unfortunately, the unit we were in was a little neglected, and not very tidy.
We were there for one night. It was not bad, but we had no hot water and we were very far from the pool and food areas.
The air conditioning was a necessary luxury to ward off the cold!
The unit was very clean and tidy. However, the bed was very uncomfortable, very hard. There are no chairs in the unit to sit and watch TV or just relax. You need to lie on the bed for this. The towel rail in the bathroom was hanging loose. Small details need attention.
Clean and tidy. Perfect for a quick sleepover!
Feel free to see the stars.
Although suitable for overnight stays, the unit is not well maintained and is not suitable for two adults and 2 teenagers actually sharing a room. The ceiling in the bathroom is falling down and the dining table is too small for 4 people. Reception was very unfriendly.
We were received quite well, but the reception is part of the restaurant which was busy and it does not work well. The room was quite clean, but some of the bedding was not clean. The bin in the kitchen was still full of rubbish from the previous guests and the air conditioning didn't work either. Towels were clean but old and frayed.
See the stars.
Clean and tidy with basic facilities. Pool was quite dirty. Otherwise good value.
When I booked I was informed that a maximum of 4 people could stay in a unit and they were not willing to put a mattress in one for my youngest. As a result we then had to book two rooms because there were 5 of us. When we got there, one camper had a double bed and the other had a double, single and a bunk bed in it! So enough room for 5. I feel put in and will never stay there again. Furthermore, the larger of the two rooms was not in good condition, the roof looked like it was going to cave in at any moment.
The place I got to stay in and the internet ad didn't match! The bedding (sheets were not clean) the bath mat had been septic. The place is just good enough for overnight stay for travelers who do not require high standards.
There were unpleasant characters hanging around, we were even scolded while we were still on our way to the place of residence. Had to look for other accommodation at great cost even though we had already paid in full. Management did not even offer to refund part of our stay, although we had already paid the full amount.
I found collecting the key from the bar rather inpersonal and bizarre. It was a self-help situation. The beds we slept on in Room 8 were some of the worst I have ever slept on and I almost needed to go and see my chiro afterwards. Never again!
From the moment I checked in to checking out is an experience I never want to experience again. Unfriendly, unhelpful people. We were barely greeted. The house we stayed in had power out when we got there. After that someone was called out to come and look at it, the gentleman didn't even say hello after we as guests first made the effort. The lady who took us to the house left without saying goodbye, just screamed from the window leave the key in the house if you leave tomorrow - completely unprofessional! The one air conditioner that worked was falling apart. The kitchen was dusty and not at all equipped for self-catering. The unit is supposed to accommodate 6 people, but there are only 2 glasses, 4 plates and mixed knives and forks. We were bitten and bothered all night by bugs that were in the mattresses. One of the teenagers was covered in red bite marks when we decided to drive instead in the middle of the evening. I myself work in the tourism industry, and by my standards it is not at all acceptable to be treated like this or to receive the poor quality of service and accommodation.
The place is currently a construction site and one cannot sit outside without staring at construction material / debris. The accommodation is not the cleanest and the equipment is inadequate. Avoid the place!
Upon arrival we were very disappointed, it was not at all what we expected. The biggest disappointment was the pool. We were on a hot road of 42°C all day and all we were looking forward to was relaxing in the nice pool as in the photo. However, it was grass green and dirty. What a disappointment! The unit was also very old. Definitely would not recommend or ever stay there again.
Good service, neat and clean. Thanks for the fans it was a very hot day.
Peaceful. Convenient. Relaxing.
It was peaceful and nice.
The facilities are value for money. We have stayed at Gariep a few times and at other establishments that are more expensive and that offer the same as "Green Doors".
Neat and comfortable. Perfect for overnight!
Keep up the excellent work. Very safe. Always nice to visit.
The house we were in was exceptionally neat at all times. The bed linen and towels always smelled good. I would use or recommend the accommodation again myself.
Just be careful of the guy at the bottle store and count your change.
Friendly experience!
Greendoors are easy to find and lovely to sleep in. We will use it again.
Very neat, quiet and safe accommodation. Everything you need is walking distance: restaurant, bottle store, grocery store, swimming pool etc. I would really recommend it if you need a quiet self catering overnight stay. Tea, coffee and milk were also available on arrival as well as braaiers. Will definitely use Green Doors again when we go to the Cape again.
The accommodation was so comfortable, you have thought of everything, you can even have a holiday there! Really enjoyed it, thanks again.
Create a feeling of... just one more night's sleepover... and another... and another!
A very good and pleasant experience that I would definitely recommend, it's very clean and tidy with friendly staff, which made it nice for us.
The service was off the books. The rooms are comfortable, clean and safe. All amenities are within walking distance. The freezer facilities were a bit small.
Very nice stay and the service was very friendly.
Neat rooms, as well as the whole complex and pool. We had a very nice stay there. It's also very central with a shop and a restaurant just around the corner. It's just a shame the restaurant no longer has their delicious pizzas that everyone recommended. We would definitely stay there again and recommend it!
We were on our way to the Cape and decided to make Secunda our halfway station. We were not disappointed at all. Great accommodation and certainly very affordable.
The owner, Corene, was very friendly and helpful. All amenities within easy reach. Will definitely use Gariep Inn again.
Everything was great and the rooms beautiful, thank you!
It's on the way to Cape Town, would stay there again anytime, service is excellent and rooms are very neat and food at restaurant fantastic, would advise any other person to stay there.
Definitely worth it, will definitely sleep there again friendly welcome.
Units have everything needed for overnight stays.
The sheets on the beds were not all clean - some did not have all the soap washed out - i.e. there were large soap stains. Otherwise everything was fine.
Well located accommodation with spacious rooms that are well maintained, neat and clean. Close to all required amenities. The environment is well maintained and safe. I would stay there again.
Place clean and tidy, just what you want for overnight.
The facility is very clean and safe. The pizza at the adjacent restaurant is incredibly tasty and fresh. We will use Green Doors again in the future.
Just what I wanted and the staff were very friendly.
Pleasantly surprised. The room was spacious with everything we needed. The bedding was very clean.
Customer service was good. Excellent location. Not what one really expected. Pool was green, air conditioning not working properly - it kicks out the power. The bedding was clean but very faded and old.
Guest house was clean and neat.
Convenient for a half-way break to the coast. Friendly, clean and comfortable.
Pleasant, clean and tidy, contains all the necessary facilities. Staff are friendly and helpful. Not 5 star but very good value for money. Only minor criticism: Would prefer shower door over curtain. Adjacent restaurant also conveniently close, acceptable for quality and price, and friendly service.
A very nice and cozy place.

The place offers very good value for money. Staff were helpful with booking.
We will definitely use LekkeSlaap again to make a reservation.
The accommodation was quite adequate.
Clean and comfortable with friendly service. Great restaurant - best pizza ever.
Pleasant!
It is an excellent place to stop over on the way to Johannesburg.
See the stars.
Neat setup - even the braai areas were clean. Spacious rooms, but the dining area is impractical. It would have been uncomfortable if one could not sit outside on picnic benches.
Our neighbors' TV was on until late at night, and we wanted to sleep early because we wanted to drive back to Cape Town the next morning at 04:00. We were in Unit 2, and the neighbors TV must have been on the adjacent wall because it was really distracting. The rest was perfectly acceptable.
The pool was grass green, not blue as shown everywhere. This affected my overall impression of Gariep Inn and I did not get what I paid for. Tjailatyd Restaurant is great.
For the rate per night, one could probably not expect more amenities.
Unfortunately no facilities for people who want to cook their own meals.
Could do better on the cleanliness of the rooms and parking for the vehicles. The restaurant is neat and the food is delicious.
Please advise all travellers that 'Green Doors' have changed their name! We travelled up and down the road and could not find 'Green Doors'. We stopped at a Pub to enquire and were told they are trading under another name.
The apartment was very comfortable and spacious. Just make sure what and where you book. In general, the stay was very nice. Thank you very much.
The place was neat and clean. The dining nook is impractical as two people fit in there with difficulty.
A very, very clean place. Would recommend it. It's very beautiful there.
Clean, spacious and private.
The food at the restaurant was very delicious and the accommodation was very peaceful. Thank you very much!
Very neat and clean.

We really enjoyed our stay, even if it was only one night!
A neat, clean place to stay overnight with everything you need.
The place to sleep was pretty new and very well furnished. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely use it again.
Leave the packed lunch at home and go relax in their bar-restaurant with the most delicious food. Friendly staff and nicest, nicest atmosphere. We had a really good rest! Thank you very much!
It was nice to stay in a cottage in the village. We were pleasantly surprised!
The rooms are very hot, especially this time of the year ... charge a little extra and put air-conditioning in the rooms. It will make our stay that much nicer.

Place is located close to N2. It is clean and good for an overnight stay.
Practical accommodation, especially for people with small children and/or contractors. Neat and clean. Walls a bit thin - we could hear the neighbors clearly.
A good and clean overnight facility!
No air cooling. Very warm inside. No safety bars to open windows.
See the stars below.
The room was quite big (family room). It was clean and had air-conditioning. However, the walls are very thin so you can hear everything the neighbors are saying. Because of this, I'd say it's okay for a 1 night stay. Directions could be better.
The rooms were clean and tidy, and the service was good.

The beds are lame.
We had a great time, only the TV reception was faulty and my wife could not watch her normal soap at the time. Other than that, I can't complain. I will use the place again when I travel past there again.
See the stars below.
The beds were just lame, and equipment in the cottage could be better. Still, at least we didn't stay too badly for the evening.
See the stars below.
Cheap, but would rather look for better accommodation next time.
