58 guests' feedbackKalahari Lion's Rest was great. It did my soul good.
Clean, safe place to sleep with friendly, helpful staff/owners. We immediately felt at home and were quickly helped with an awesome place to eat a stone's throw from where we are staying. Kalahari Lion's Rest is in a quiet neighborhood with the most beautiful view of fields where you can stand in front of your room door and watch the sun go down and the new day break in the morning.
Nice overnight stay, clean and warm welcome.
It is conveniently located in a quiet part of town with a beautiful view of the river. We will use the place again if the opportunity arises.
The bathroom taps were completely loose. There had been soap but no shampoo.
Rooms are well equipped with all necessary. The wooden partitions (walls) can affect some visitors because you can hear what people next to you are talking about.
The place is advertised as B&B but is not. I wouldn't say it's really self-care either.
Would recommend the place to anyone, cozy with everything you need in your room. Last time I stayed at a place that was so well equipped.
Everything perfect. Except that rooms are not soundproof due to wooden structure.
Reception staff apologized for load shedding.
Not very well furnished upstairs for guests to sit. A bit of dust and cobwebs on the ledge above the shower. Room well furnished, only 1 easy chair in room for 2 people!
A beautiful place, Christal was very cute and very friendly and even gave us advice on where to eat. Rooms are super neat and clean. I will stay there again for sure. Thank you Kalahari Lion's Rest, you guys are great!
Would like to be able to use a braai area on site.
We slept great at Kalahari Lion's Rest during a quick visit to the Upington area. We didn't spend a lot of time at the place to sleep, but I can definitely confirm that we slept great there. The location is outside the main town and very quiet and peaceful. Do note that it is a wooden building and if your neighbors are up early, you are going to wake up. However, this did not bother us and we had a very nice stay there. We were received very kindly and had a safe parking area. Feel free to stay there.
We booked three rooms and all were quite satisfied, but one room did not have hot water for showering. We didn't report it because it was early in the morning and we were driving early. Everything was neat and clean and comfortable, but the walls are really thin and you can hear everyone talking and walking. If it wasn't for that, the place would have been really, really good. But many thanks for the friendly reception and the nice restaurant that was recommended. We had a nice rest and that's what we needed.
Kalahari Lion's Rest was very conveniently located in a suburban area - quite a distance from the center of town. It was very quiet and peaceful. The room and bathroom were comfortable and spacious. Note that it is a wooden house and that the wood does make noise and move when you walk on it - not for light sleepers, but we slept great. The coffee area was well equipped - I did miss a microwave but that wasn't a problem. We had a great time and slept peacefully. Our car was very securely parked behind the building and behind an electronic gate. The owner received us very kindly and kept us informed about the load shedding schedule.
We visited the Augrabian Falls, what an experience.
Neat and very nice place to sleep over, value for money.
Nice place and view and friendliness.
Fantastic king-sized beds for a fantastic night's rest.
You can hear every word from the people next to you and above you. Als cracks when you or the people next to you walk. You hear every snore. Will not stay there again.
I was kindly received. When it is bedtime, one can hear every sound.
Very definitely a destination that I recommend with all my heart! Chrystal went out of her way to make our stay pleasant. And she also recommended us where to enjoy a nice dinner!
Thank you for the neat room and friendly reception.
We spent the night here on our way to the West Coast and found the accommodation clean, tidy and affordable. I would recommend it as an overnight destination anytime.
Slightly disturbing because you can hear all the time when guests in adjacent rooms are talking and moving.
The view is so beautiful of the Orange River. Very neat and reception was very friendly.
The unit is comfortable, the floors just move a lot so if anyone walks anywhere on the upper floor you feel it.
The accommodation is in a wooden structure and the rooms are facing each other. When someone walks on the wooden floor you feel the movement in your room. The soundproofing between the different rooms is also not good and you can hear what your neighbor is talking and doing.
Facilities are neat and the reception generous.
See stars.
We were well received, everything was clean and neat, and the room had everything. Delicious breakfast.
The rooms are very comfortable and clean had a good nights rest. The breakfast was delicious and I can recommend the accommodation.
Warmly and generously received by competent staff. Secure own parking and well equipped room. Nice big bed. Delicious breakfast that was already included in the price. Got a good discount. Hostess knowledgeable about area and great restuarant recommended. Will definitely stay there again in the future.
Value for money. Good service.
We had a wonderful stay and slept, the room has a beautiful view of the panorama of the fields. Received very friendly service and we will surely recommend the lovely place to our friends.
The reception was great. Everything was neat and clean. We were aware in advance of possible noises if you sleep downstairs due to wooden floors, so no worries. It's good enough for an overnight stay.
Nice stay! Will definitely recommend to others.
We were very friendly and warmly received. Efforts are made to make guests feel at home and to assist with advice and action. The rooms are well furnished and the breakfast is delicious. We left early and got a delicious breakfast/snack pack for the road. Kalahari Lion's Rest is built of wood and it looks so beautiful. Unfortunately the walls are paper thin. You hear every step, whisper and breath of your neighbors, and it's not very nice!
Because the guest house is a wooden structure, it is less private for guests, because you can hear everything that goes on next to you and above you. If the doings of other guests don't bother you, this really is a lovely place to stay.
We were received by the owner; everything works; comfortable, clean. Affordable.
We received a good reception and the service was very good. It was very cold, but had a nice and warm night's sleep.
Lovely spacious rooms, with very friendly service! We drove very early the next morning, so they packed us breakfast packages. It was so big and had such a wide variety of food that we could eat all day on the way to Henties Bay. Would recommend Kalahari Lion's Rest to anyone!
Good value for money.
Very friendly and helpful staff very well received. Place very neat and clean will definitely suggest to someone else. Will definitely come back again. Only one thing I personally want in the room is a microwave.
The hostess and host are very friendly and helpful. We had a lovely time with them. They provided us with a braai so we could make our own food and even set a table for us. The breakfast the next morning was prepared special for us because we had a long way to drive. Plus it was a delicious breakfast.
We had a great time during our stay. The room was clean and very tidy and the new bed was exactly what our tired bodies needed after our long journey.
It was a wonderful experience, very clean, luxurious, with friendly hospitality. Nice bed and facilities, delicious breakfast. Will use again anytime and definitely recommend to all family and acquaintances. Thank you very much for your good references, we had a great meal at BI LO bistro and visited Spice Route as recommended, really enjoyed it.
Friendly, very nice and convenient.
My parents really enjoyed their stay. They received a warm welcoming and everything was organised well. Breakfast was delicious. Thank you.
Fantastic service. Definitely recommended.
Place is relatively new (opened its doors in October 2016) so everything is beautiful and new. Quiet, peaceful area with stunning view. We weren't aware of any traffic. Rooms are very comfortable and tastefully appointed. Coffee, tea, and rusks provided, and 250 ml milk and 2 bottles of water in the fridge. Delicious breakfast served the next morning exactly at the time that suited us. I definitely recommend them.
Very neat and the owners are very friendly and helpful.
We enjoyed our time there. The people were very friendly and helpful. It was incredibly relaxing for our group of friends. Will definitely stay there again.
It was very neat, very friendly reception.
See rating.
The unit is very spacious, clean and tidy. Owner very friendly and helpful with directions and help with restaurant choices. Breakfast was also very nice.
Very neat and tastefully furnished. Nice breakfast included in the price. Really good value for money. Only obstacle is the vibration of the floor when someone moves in other units, which can be particularly disturbing after bedtime, but it is expected of wooden structures.
