225 guests' feedbackHad a very pleasant experience. Customer service is top notch. Everything you want under one roof. Food in the restaurant was very good. PS ask about the Happy Hour! Jessica in the restaurant deserves a thumbs up.
I want to visit at least 3 times per year. It was blessed.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were contacted early in the morning to confirm check-in time, were received super friendly and treated very hospitably.
We had a great stay, thank you.
Stayed, ate and slept very well.
We stayed 1 night at Namaqua Lodge on our way. We had a nice meal in their restaurant. The variety of local wine was interesting. The accommodation was basic, but adequate. The staff were friendly and helpful.
The room smelled like a drainpipe all the time. The air conditioner was installed very low against the wall. The air blew on top of us because the lid was missing.
We had a very nice stay. Lumpy service was absolutely exceptional! All the staff were friendly, considerate and helpful!
Our booking and reception was very good. The rooms were neat and clean, but we were a group of 14 (10 adults and 4 children between 9 and 13 years old). Everyone who lives in room no. 1 slept, probably only slept half the night if that much. The pipes in the walls roar all night long! WiFi was also not good.
Clean and comfortable en-suite room. Dinner and breakfast was good.
We were very warmly received by the receptionist. Beds are comfortable and clean.
It was good to sleep there. Just later replaced the plank floor and soft towels. Other than that everything was good.
We arrived there after driving more than 900 km (from Mariëntal). We were tired then we did not have a friendly reception at the counter. We felt like looking for a place to stay elsewhere. However, the rest of the staff more than made up for the initial disappointment.
Good enough but not great.
Lighting in room 14 is just very poor, but everything else was very good.
We had a nice stay, thank you.
This team went the extra mile during my stay there.
The reception was very warm. We got wup ahead of time to give us the address and phone number. Rooms were clean and spacious. Secure parking.
Reservations are always smooth, load shedding is not a problem, very good restaurant. Will stay there again!
Would like to stay here again.
We had a very nice stay. The dinner and breakfast were also very nice. The staff had been very nice. Definitely value for money!
As we entered reception, everything was explained to us in detail which was really nice. What I particularly liked was, that I had my cup of coffee at the bar area watching Springboks beat New Zealand without any rowdiness just pure excitement. Matured and controlled.
Accommodation was not modern, but clean and affordable.
It was truly an oasis to visit Namaqua Lodge. The room was excellent and the meal in the restaurant excellent. Friendly staff who do everything to make us feel at home.
We were kindly received and taken care of.
Lovely stay on the way north. Our room did not have a shower, but after inquiring with the receptionist she moved us to another room without any problems. Everyone at the Lodge was so helpful, polite and friendly. Feel free to use the restaurant, great variety and can definitely recommend the breakfast.
Pleasant atmosphere. Due to a storm our room leaked but the staff went out of their way to offer us an alternative room with free drinks before dinner.
We often sleep at Namaqua Lodge on the way from Namibia to Cape Town. Value for money - there is always power during load shedding (generator), clean room, good food at the restaurant, safe parking.
Great service and nice food. Quiet and comfortable.
From the booking we received prompt feedback throughout and during our stay and meal the staff were exceptionally friendly and hospitable. Car is also safely parked behind locked gate. The place is highly recommended with good value for money! Generator is also a big bonus and air conditioners were able to work all the time.
Namaqua Lodge is a suitable place to spend the night. Friendly service. Room was comfortable. Ideal for a single traveller.
Had a great overnight stay at Namaqua Lodge. Great food, clean, and comfortable with safe parking for our bikes. Ticked all the boxes.
Very centrally located for flower viewing tourists. Reception was friendly and everything was well explained. Room was neat, spacious, comfortable and well equipped. Fresh drinking water fountain in dining hall and generator that goes on during load shedding time was a bonus. WiFi works well and handy for working travelers. Meals were delicious and restaurant on site convenient. Only problem is hot water when logs are fully booked with tour groups and everyone wants to bath/shower and leave at the same time in the morning. It's easier to get hot water in the evening by just taking a bath/shower a little earlier or later.
Pleasant and friendly people — beautiful nature to enjoy.
Good, warm welcome. Absolutely delicious meals. Room meets most standards except bathroom does not have a shower. We were informed about it in advance. Load capacity was not a problem.
Very friendly reception. Room is very neat and clean. Big bonus, always power! Cozy atmosphere. Restaurant on premises. Centrally located so ideal for flower viewing. Can recommend them with confidence.
Friendly reception. Secure parking. Restaurant with delicious dishes.
We were flowers and Calvinia Fleis festival goers and looked flowers all day and visited the area. First night there is a group that laughs and chats very loudly until 11.15pm in the dining room close to the room where we stayed. Other guests also complain about the noise, I learn from reception. Night 2 the Springboks play against the All Blacks and the TV in the ladies bar is turned on at full volume until 10.45pm and we try to get a good night's rest in between all that. My opinion is that the rooms near the public areas should be protected with sliding doors in the evening to dampen the sound. The management was on duty the times as confirmed to me by the receptionist after I complained about the noise. Management allows the noise and does not consider the paying guests. I would stay there again, but for sure not near the public areas, bars and dining hall.
Good food, along with safe parking and overnight.
We arrived one day earlier than our reservation at 10.30pm. The person on duty had no problem giving us a room and needed to move rooms so we could get the same room as the next one. Made a lot of effort to help us.
Restaurant provides good food, but the quantity is unnecessarily large.
Was looking for a place to stay.
Security for access to the premises could definitely be improved. In front of the entrance is a gate with a password, but at the back of the parking area are gates that are open. Staff in the restaurant "overserved" us in the sense that several staff members came to ask if everything was ok several times, to the point where it became annoying.
Staff very friendly.
Restaurant service and quality was excellent.
The place is nice and clean and the people very friendly! Food is great!
Very noisy environment and plumbing. Bed very uncomfortable.
Room had no hot water and unfortunately problem was not solved after we reported it. Only feedback was that they will look into the problem.
Our experience has been that you are treated like royalty if you are part of their flower tour, otherwise you are only treated as a number. We were treated curtly and stiffly by most of the staff. The room and bathroom are old and unfinished. It was neat, but the tub was full of hair. Even after they came to clean it a second time it was still full of hair. The security is good at the front of the building, but at the back the gate is open and anyone can enter, so your car is not safe 24/7. The accommodation does not justify the costs per night at all. We were lucky to find accommodation elsewhere for the night, so we checked out again within a few hours. A member of staff then wanted to know how she could rectify the situation, but after what we had already experienced, we declined.
The place was neat and the room was also neat and clean.
Fantastic service. The people are very friendly and helpful and we would highly recommend it.
A very beautiful village with friendly and helpful residents. Had a great time.
Food and accommodation were as depicted.
Fantastic atmosphere.
When I read the history of Namaqua Lodge on their website, I was drawn to the possibility of old-world wealth. And I was not disappointed! A combination of old fashioned style and memories with modern amenities and wonderful hospitality!
Friendly staff, incredibly tasty farm food.
The staff very friendly. Food is fantastic. Can recommend the lodge to anyone. It is very centrally located. Safe behind gates. It's a lovely place to stay.
Room was neat and we slept great!
Great experience for us.
We really enjoyed our visit! Friendly people and staff! Value for money and comfort!
It's pleasant in Namakwa Lodge. Hospitality and reception were top notch. Very concerned about the well being of the guests and very helpful.
The staff are warm and friendly and we're so happy to accommodate our needs.
An unexpected diamond on the road to Springbok.
Affordable and comfortable overnight accommodation.
We stayed over for one night. The staff on arrival were friendly and efficient. We were nervous about leaving the car outside in the street, but were relieved that there was parking around the back. This however should be monitored by a security guard as later we found people that had walked in from the streets that shouldn't be there. The rooms are like dormitories. The whole building is old and would do well to have a revamp. On entering the room, one could immediately notice a sewerage smell. Later discovered that the toilet, shower and basin shared an outlet pipe. Also the basin was leaking slightly on the floor. We tolerated this as we were only staying for one night. Also there is no solid wall between the bathroom and the bedroom. This was evident that the bathroom was an afterthought. The room and bedding was clean. The crockery supplied was ancient, and can do with upgrading. The restaurant and service was very good. We had wonderful meals there.
We have always slept and eaten very well there and they definitely give value for money. They just need to pay attention to the detail maintenance, faucets that are loose, the sink faucets that are connected incorrectly, one bedside lamp that doesn't have a power plug at all etc.
Was very nice. Clean and tidy with friendly service.
Nice visit, hospitable people, good food. Warm people with warm hearts.
My girlfriend and I shared a self-catering room in the rear accommodation units at Namaqua Lodge. The bedroom and kitchen are standard and meet basic expectations. The fact that there is a key for every cabinet in the kitchen is strangely annoying, especially if you just want to take out a plate or a glass. The kitchen is unnecessarily spacious (without comfortable seating for a meal), but in the bathroom the shower door hits the sink when you open it wide enough to worm your way into the shower and neither of us are bulky not. The space between the single beds and the dressing table is extremely neat and we were thankful that we only slept there for two nights. The feeling is that the lodge wants to accommodate as many guests as possible without really caring too much about their comfort. The rooms were clean but a mat on the tiled floor would have helped for the chilly evenings.
We were really looking forward to our second visit to Vanrhynsdorp and especially following the good advertisement of Namaqua Lodge. The reception was very professional and the quality of the dinner (barbecue buffet) was also outstanding. However, the room was disappointing and the fact that we could not have hot water at any point, very upsetting.
If you book a family room and already have teenagers or older children, Room 22 is not the most suitable room. The space is very limited and the bathroom extremely small.
Friendly staff!
The accommodation was comfortable and clean, however the hostess concentrates on tour groups rather than the private customer. Meal times are dictatorial and inflexible - dinner from 19h15 until 20h15; breakfast from 07h00 to 08h00 - and "please be punctual". A bit much to ask for people wanting to relax on holiday!
Bed was soft with a cavity in the middle and my wife and I could hardly sleep. Terribly noisy when people open and close doors. Staff also shout at each other over and over again. Worst was the cold shower the next morning. Buffet dinner was delicious but a bit expensive. We then just missed breakfast because it was over our budget after dinner.
The fact that the rooms and bathrooms are not on the same level creates a problem. The bathrooms are also not built up to the roof.
Very friendly staff. Had a great time and saw the surroundings.
Friendly people and the meal at the restaurant was out of the books.
Feel free to go. You will not regret it. Perfect for overnight.
Customer service was excellent, very friendly.
Friendly and efficient staff, neat and clean rooms, affordable, delicious restaurant meals, and even a bar. Enough space and tranquility. Will definitely stay there again.
Namaqua Lodge is the ideal place to sleep in Vanrhynsdorp, well located, and affordable with all the necessary facilities. We really enjoyed our visit.
The staff were very helpful and made us feel at home.
Amanda contacted us beforehand to ensure that a room without a shower would be alright. On arrival we asked that we and our friends be close together, so they moved us. We stayed at 8 different places on our tour and can compare. Namaqua's staff were very friendly and professional and accommodating. The food was delicious.
Very comfortable unit. We stayed in the self-catering room and were able to barbecue. Excellent service from Santa who arranged for our flat tire to be repaired by Jan Tire while we enjoyed breakfast. Very clean and tidy. Staff are friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay there again.
Clean and tidy. Ideal for a night's rest between the Western Cape and Northern Cape.
We only got there late and they put our takeaways in the room and it was also delicious. Thank you very much for all your effort.
Great welcoming with amazing service. All the best and great job.
Had a good time, slept well and ate well. Will sleep there again.
I recommend Namaqua Lodge to any traveler who has to pass by.
After a long day on the road, day 4 of our "road trip", we found ourselves in VanRhynsdorp for a first visit. Reservations were made that way on the road and here we could already experience the sincerity and hospitable attitude of the lodge's staff. Our accommodation unit (self-catering) was neat, spacious and clean and met the needs of our visit here. It was Valentine's Day and the "special" meal was definitely a hit. Some will refer to it as how it should be, but we know, sincerity, care and heart people, actions just differently, you too. We decided there and then to stay 2 nights and explore the town. We never regretted the decision for a moment. Dinners, breakfasts and kindness have definitely made you crawl into our hearts. The most beautiful quiver trees here will also stay with us. Your team is precious and it is our prayer that you will be blessed, prosper and receive favor to continue doing what excites visitors. Thanks again.
When I arrived at the hotel I thought to myself where have I booked. This impression was probably because it had been a long day and I was tired from travelling. Don't be put off from the outside as this is a little gem and great place to stay. The price they charge is so reasonable that I don't know how they can be so budget friendly. The staff were friendly and accommodating and made sure that I had a pleasant stay. The hotel is old and the rooms quite small but everything was clean and functional. If you are expecting 5-star you will be disappointed, but if you want friendly home away from home feel this is the place to stay. I had a lovely meal in the open courtyard and a nice breakfast selection in the dining room. Nice to have safe parking as well. I would definitely stay here if I was back in the area.

Owners and staff were excellent. Stay was perfect and will definitely stay there again. Everything you need is there and you don't even have to leave the grounds.
Friendly reception by very helpful staff. Had a wonderful stay with all necessary amenities. A hot shower is always a plus and an air conditioner on a hot day! Working late at night, restaurant was even willing to put my food and soft drinks in my room. That's service! Definitely see you again in the future. Thank you very much Namakwa Lodge!
The service from receptionist to restaurant staff was friendly and efficient. We felt welcome there in a homely sort of way. Room was upmarket and sheets were remarkably clean and well ironed. The braai/buffet dinner was excellent. Parking facilities were good. Two adverse things to work on: 1. We (70 plus year olds ) had to carry our luggage from the car to the room which was quite a long way and quite tiring 2. The cost of the breakfast was a little over the top for what we got.
It can get quite busy during the flower season, but staff remain pleasant and available.
Water crisis in the area. Maybe more provision when 3 people are in family room other than only 1 x 5L water for everything! And no concern expressed by management.
Would prefer to be further away from rooms where a tour group spends the night - it can be quite noisy if the group leaves again very early.
Good service. Restaurant prices very reasonable.
Very nice stay, safe and clean. The food was excellent.
Friendly reception, providing all necessary information and escorting us to our room. Although the building is very old it is kept clean and neat. The steak in the restaurant was really special, well cooked and tasty.
Food is a highlight.
The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The buffet dinner was amazing! Full marks to the owner who personally oversees every aspect of the hotel. Only small inconvenience was the volatility of WiFi in our room.
We had a very nice evening. The hostess was friendly and helpful. Rooms nice and clean. Because of restrictions, we couldn't eat in their restaurant, but we did order takeaway, which was delivered to our door on time. Will definitely stop there again.
Me, my husband and our 2 month old baby came from the Eastern Cape for a wedding and stayed at Namakwa Lodge. It was so nice, food was amazing, rooms were neat and comfortable! We really enjoyed the weekend!
Booked the honeymoon suite because of what I saw in the photos on the listing. Unfortunately didn't receive it that way when we checked in. I was super excited to share the special room with my husband. As soon as I walked in, I could see that my husband was not impressed with the very plain, not at all romantic, room. They apologized and brought us a free bottle of Rose, but the vibe was awkward and still not at all what we hoped it would be.
Will stay there again.
Me and my wife and my mother slept over one night. We booked two rooms next to each other. It was excellent value for money. Drinks in the lounge and dinner in the restaurant were delicious and really good value for money. The staff's service is excellent and they are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast the next morning was slightly disappointing compared to the good value for money of the dinner. The hotel is nice inside, but a lick of paint here and there would do wonders. One of the big plus points for me is that guests' vehicles can sleep safely under lock and key. For the special price we paid, I would stay there again.
Staff were very friendly and helpful, bathroom lacks some space to put things down.
Basic accommodation. No complaints.
Very good service. I will come again.
Very friendly staff.
Staff are very friendly and helpful.
Although the hotel is old, the hotel has a lot of character. Lots of antiques. Meals were good. Bathrooms in rooms bother, minimal privacy. Otherwise good.
They compensated me, but unfortunately I had to make other arrangements and my flower viewing did not happen.
Whilst the staff are very friendly and the food of a good standard, the rooms are very old and although clean, gives an impression of doubtful hygiene due to the age of everything in the room. I think the accommodation is overpriced.
Very neat. Quiet and people helpful, but make sure the geyser works next time. Not at all happy to shower in ice cold water at 5 in the morning. Furthermore, good overnight facilities.
Cheap furniture. No air freshener in the toilet, no window in the toilet, no door between toilet and bedroom. No extras in the bathroom, like soap, shampoo. There's a water jug in the bedroom, empty! In the bar and entertainment area there are dozens of people smoking inside and outside. There is no non-smoking area. The restaurant food was good.
The rooms are neat and clean.
Bar area smells terribly of smoke. A little worried about complying with Covid regulations.
Place is very outdated.
Good food. No warm water on arrival nor at departure. Rude staff. Not worth it at all.
Namaqua Lodge was a lovely place to stay and the food was top notch. Will definitely go again.
We were contacted before our arrival because the kitchen would close at 8pm. A menu was sent to us and our food was served in our room when we got there. Received very good service. Can recommend Namaqua Lodge to everyone.
We were kindly received and taken care of. The food is heavenly and it was definitely a great sleep experience.
We only stayed one night and it was excellent to book a place at such short notice and experience exceptional service. Their hospitality was also a big plus.
A place where you can recharge your batteries. Very quiet rural village. Will definitely visit again.
Friendly welcome, clean room and bathroom. Nice stay, thank you.
One eats too much because the box is too tasty. Safety of vehicles is excellent. Customer service was great.
Told us where the most beautiful places are in terms of flowers and the off the grid route!
Two friends in our group travel with their mobile home. They were allowed to spend the night free of charge in Namaqua Lodge's parking area safely behind gates and were therefore able to visit with us and eat in the restaurant. A mobile braai drum was provided for us and our group of nine was able to spend time together around a fire on the back porch.
Absolutely a pleasure, the owners/managers and staff are so attentive and friendly, nothing is too much trouble, lots of good advice and smiles - will definitely stay there again.
Excellent menu and flexible meal times and where you want to eat. Nice warm air conditioning in the bedroom against the cold. Secure parking.
We arrived late and the friendly staff calmly let us unpack and set ourselves up and then we were given time to calmly decide what we were going to order for dinner. The cook did an excellent job, our food was of the highest quality. The wine list has also been expanded with lovely wines from the county. Room is clean and very comfortable. I highly recommend Namaqua Lodge.
It was an unforgettable visit. How can one say thank you to so many friendly staff.
The rump was excellent. We North-Capers must have fat on steak.
We drove with the Lodge's van the first day. Our guide was a lady who works there, I think her name is Marna. She is not only an excellent driver but also a very good guide. She took us to the rare flowers and plants that are not noticed by the common traveller. Delicious food and drinks were packed for us, which we could just enjoy in the field. We also enjoyed the other guests' company.
Perfect for flower trails, tasty meals and reasonably priced.
Basic amenities at an excellent price. Very clean and tidy. Restaurant serves delicious food in generous quantities. Always friendly and helpful.
Hot water in shower was not very hot. Next morning there was hot water.
The location is good, the staff very friendly, the food excellent, but it needs a serious upgrade.
However, the mattress is done and needs replacement.
Pleasant and helpful staff and accommodation clean and neat.
Neat facilities and friendly service.
Dining room was very busy and disturbing early in the morning and in the evening.
Restaurant was poor, made effort to accommodate extra person.
Namaqua lodge is a lovely place to stay and would definitely recommend it. Thank you very much for this place the ad was exactly what we got.
The service was exceptional, friendliness from the top shelves. Neat, practical and highly recommended.
Will definitely go back again.
Ek my man en my skoonsuster het julle gasvryheid terdeë geniet. Puik mense en puik kos. Mense mense wat lekker kon gesels. Sal julle weer besoek.
Stay was a pleasant experience. Will visit and recommend Namaqua Lodge again.
Die personeel was baie vriendelik en ons het 'n heerlike tyd gehad.
As already mentioned, impressive!
The place is very central and safe and we were warmly welcomed. Definitely good value for money.
Really recommend.
Well managed and well equipped setup. Offers all the facilities needed for a comfortable overnight stay. The dinner and breakfast were of high quality. Definitely recommended.
Namaqua Lodge offers all of the necessary facilities and more.
We had a great time. The people were friendly and hospitable and the rooms were neat.
Namaqua Lodge is a very neat and peaceful place. I would advise anyone to sleep over it.
Very fair and very good customer service. Delicious food at restaurant, which is also very reasonable. Good location and very safe.
Staff very hospitable and helpful. The meals were delicious. Rooms clean and neat.
The staff were helpful and clean.
After a long drive, we had a lovely overnight stay at Namaqua Lodge. Their food is value for money and everyone was very friendly.
Good service and worth every penny.
Prices of meals are very reasonable and affordable! My husband and I have booked again for next week!
Corlette, you were an absolute star.
I enjoyed my stay. The room may be old but very clean and neat. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and I had a great night out. The food was excellent and very well priced. Will definitely stay there again if I'm in the area.
Lodge very well located, away from busy petrol stations. Was able to rest well for next day's trek. Safe parking and good service. Will go there again.
See rating.
Even though the building was old, it was comfortable and clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Just one thing, that didn't bother us that much, was the fact that the TV did not work.
The place was clean and neat. Convenient. The staff are friendly.
Very nice place. Unfortunately we did not get the room we booked. But it's okay. Will stay there again. Their food is delicious.
Was very okay just basic. Needs items to be added to the room.
We only stayed one night and it met all our needs.
They always have accommodation available and at short notice.
Although place was cheap, we were disappointed in how dirty our room was especially under beds and bedside tables. There was no loose sheet along with the thick blanket that surely wasn't washed every time someone was around. Boiler in room full of mould. Bathroom was not too dirty, except for detectable hair. Restaurant did not have 2 of the 3 items we ordered available.
Was really surprised with the nice place, really enjoyed the stay and the food.
It's a distance from Gobabis from Cape Town. Namaqua Lodge was an excellent choice. It is then early enough to kick out shoes and rest before dinner. Both meals were tasteful and the stay was good value for money. The room was comfortable and quiet and security was sharp.
I had a very nice stay. Everything was neat and clean and staff very friendly and helpful. Food in the restaurant. Only advice I would give is that the people who check you in should just tell you more about the lodge and what there is to do. I have e.g. didn't know the lodge had a bar and pool table. And also at the unit just quickly show you how and what is true. More specifically how the gas stove works. Will definitely stay there again.
The management went out of their way to accommodate our mother next to us. We could park at the units, which made it easy for her.
See stars.
We had a lovely stay and the restaurant was good.
Completely satisfied with stay and service.
Everything was fantastic. Only one problem was the beds, they were two single beds pushed together, otherwise everything was ok. Thank you very much. Would stay there again anytime.
Affordable and neat accommodation with very accommodating and friendly staff. The restaurant is excellent and the food is delicious and affordable. Excellent accommodation for single people, as well as small and large groups.
Friendly reception, thank you.
Had a great sleep and ate at the lodge.
Reception staff was friendly and helpful. Parking safe. Rooms clean and neat. We got a room with a bath. The warm water access was pathetic. Basically no water and very cold.
Slept really well, the food was the best, and the staff were very friendly.
It was worth the trouble and we had a nice rest. Everything was very clean and neat and Santa was very hospitable.
Safe place to stay. Definitely recommend it. Friendly and helpful staff. A peaceful atmosphere and good food.
Quiet, safe and clean accommodation. Hospitable and friendly staff. Unfortunately we hit it with no water that evening. Apparently a pipe burst in town?! Will definitely go back.
Dit het gevoel asof ons by die huis is. Bestuur en personeel was die hele tyd betrokke by ons. Alhoewel die Lodge baie besig was het ons uitstekende diens ontvang.
People are very helpful and had a great stay.
Neat unit and comfortable, central.
Very helpful, bar is delicious, the meals were really special.
Had a neat, safe overnight stay. Secure parking. Helpful staff.
Just flat. A poor restaurant.
Friendly welcome by owner and staff. Comfortable clean accommodation and great food! Was also helpful with an early breakfast.
Very good stay and the food was great. Don't even think of eating anywhere else, you will be disappointed.
See the stars.
Employees were friendly although I had to wait 10 minutes at reception for a response. Dinner was excellent. The gas geysers are quite a problem.
Although the accommodation is clean, the rooms are run down and in dire need of attention, The creaky floors are atrocious!
The building needs urgent maintenance. The floor creaks, the decor is old and the air conditioning didn't work.
Room disappointing for a "honeymoon suite". Fortunately, we have been married for a long time. Place is old and presents an image of being on the verge of neglect and deterioration. Only one male member of staff really knows what it is to make guests feel at home. Most ladies are unprofessional.
Vanrhynsdorp was our last stop on the way back to the Cape from the Northern Cape and what a nice place to stay. The service was excellent, the rooms clean and tidy and the parking for trailer and car very safe!
Its a beautiful little town and the accommodation was just what we needed to get refreshed for the rest of our journey. We wished we didn't have to rush off the next morning but we still had a long drive to go, would of loved to experience the rest of the little town.
The neon signs in Vanrhynsdorp startled us - but the room was wonderfully quiet (despite the Lodge being in town and 100% full!) The comfort of a spacious, clean and quiet room, the secure parking and an on-site restaurant - with enthusiastic waiters - makes us choose it again. The so-called free wi-fi did have its limitations - but this time wi-fi was not my great need.
Ronel's friendly reception and help was much appreciated, will recommend the accommodation to everyone.
Friendly staff and safe parking. Great restaurant.
Overslept to spend the evening with friends.
This place had everything I needed for my stay. I had a delicious dinner, while they went out of their way so that my Yorkie could be with me. And then that music the next morning before breakfast! I was on my way out when this wonderful, light classic music lured me back. Thank you very much! It made my day! Everything was beautiful, nice, neat and clean. The reception staff was extremely hospitable and helpful. I would definitely recommend you!
People helpful, room stylish and parking safe.
Good accommodation for a quick visit to Van Rhynsdorp.
Friendly reception and consistently good service. Comfortable, neat room. Meals tasty.
I went to have accommodation for 2 nights and not for the sightseeing. The rooms really need some upgrading and I'm not talking about overdoing it. But one can probably replace a bedside lamp that falls apart with age and fix a light switch that wants to shock you when you touch it. Very courteous and friendly and I can't complain about service, only the rooms lack work.
The staff were very friendly and we will definitely stay there again ASAP. Only problem is the Jacuzzi that wasn't working and when we reported it, nobody came to look for the problem. Not cool.
For an overnight - it’s fine and fulfilled our requirements.
The place is very neat and clean, the staff is friendly and helpful. The food was very nice although we could not enjoy breakfast, because they start a little late in the morning and we then had to drive further to the Cape. I would stay there again!
The stay was not what I expected. The bedding comes from the 1960s. Not very clean. There is no WiFi as advertised. The DStv consists of 2 channels that nobody watches. The place is not very clean, and I expected more. Behind the lodge is some kind of brickyard that makes a lot of dust and makes a lot of noise if you sleep in the self-catering units. I will not sleep there again. After 7 hours on the road, you want to rest and look for a place where you can rest. The place is not that place. But I suppose for the price you pay, that's probably what you can expect.
