218 guests' feedbackLovely place, beautifully peaceful. The perfect place to unwind.
Beautiful, peaceful and well managed. We'll be back.
We were upgraded - the view was spectacular and it was just great.
We really appreciated the fireplace with the freezing wet weather. Very neat and clean.
We had a pleasant, restful and social weekend. My one recommendation is that the stove in the old farmhouse was a bit of a challenge to cater for eight people.
It really is a very peaceful place to just get away for a bit. Very neat. Would recommend it. People are very considerate and helpful, especially Johan was always ready to help.
Although the gravel road to get there is quite bumpy, the location on the Vaal is beautiful. We stayed in the thatched bungalow - Klipspringer - which was lovely and had everything we needed for self-catering. The personnel are very helpful and friendly. It was a freezing cold evening, but there is a cosy fireplace and electric blankets.
Very pleasant. People very friendly and go the extra mile.
We had a wonderful stay.
Welcoming, friendly hosts. Beautiful location right by the Vaal River. Absolutely loved it. Hosts would go the extra mile to make your stay special. Thank you.
What a beautiful place, the staff were friendly and helpful, will definitely go there again, the chalets are clean and beautiful.
Very nice stay, you care about your guests' comfort and safety and all the staff are friendly.
Everything was very nice. Everything we needed was there. Clean and tidy.
Nice view, good facilities, rural hospitality and clean environment, full marks to the management and staff, thank you for a nice weekend by the Vaal River.
It was very nice for us!
Really enjoyed, everything is very neat and clean.
Fantastic! Calm atmosphere.
We had a great stay, but unfortunately we had problems with our vehicle and had to come back earlier.
The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. We will definitely vacation there again.
We had a very nice stay. The view was on the river. The other people around you don't bother you at all. The owners are also very friendly and helpful.
We had a good time, even if the fish didn't bite. Vicky really put in a lot of effort and helped where she could. Will go again for sure, only when it's not so hot.
Very nice and peaceful.
We thoroughly enjoyed it. All the staff were helpful and friendly. We are already looking at our next dates to 'rest' again. All that was short was more information about the bathrooms inside the chalets. Sometimes you want to refer people, but they can't sit in a bath. Such a shower is required.
The cleanliness of the resort is noteworthy. Friendly and helpful management.
Tranquil. Beautiful location. Good service.
Our stay was wonderful. It was quiet and calm. Exactly what we needed. Thank you.
Very nice, thank you very much. We will visit there again.
Friendly helpful staff. The 2 tame ostriches gave us a cute dance show. Thanks Eugene and Vicky, we'll see you again at the end of March.
The best place to stay. The people there are very friendly and helpful, for all Johan who helped us with everything. For sure with the wildlife viewing trip, we could not have chosen a better place for our 3 year anniversary. Thanks again to The Dell.
Cabin needed a few essentials and needed to be cleaned.
Wonderful stay, thoroughly enjoyed myself. Would have loved to stay longer. Will definitely be back.
The chalet was very tidy with lots of living space and very clean. The weather was not on our side, so the heating at the pool didn't work much, but we really enjoyed the place.
Very nice stay at the Dell.
Bit by too many bedbugs. Lice.
We stayed in a "permanent" tent. The thatched roof is not properly sealed and the bats have free access. As a result, we got little sleep with the bats flying over our heads all night.
The staff was really friendly and welcoming.
The perfect getaway, we wanted to get away from the noise and people. The Dell was ideal, we could relax in peace, the game drive was definitely a highlight with beautiful views of the Vredefort dome and Vaal River. We could end the day with a glass of wine next to a campfire on the river bank. Couldn't ask for more.
Nice place to stay overnight.
I saw so many animals, which was unexpected, and it was very special.
The place was very clean, the people very friendly and the environment is very peaceful.
Loadshedding caught us a bit on Friday and Saturday night, but we had candles for light as well as a gas stove for cooking and a kettle for coffee. Will definitely come back in the summer. Saw a lot of wildlife as well as an ostrich that came to greet us at the door the day we left.
The staff is very accommodating. I had my dates wrong, but they really treated us very kindly and were very accommodating. The atmosphere is very peaceful. There are two tame ostriches which only made our stay even better.
Neat, clean and everything we needed. We had a very nice stay.
This place is just so beautiful and relaxing. The management and staff are very friendly. Although the grounds were still flooded, we still enjoyed ourselves. The chalet was clean. Just what a person needs away from city life. I would recommend The Dell to anyone.
It is a very beautiful place and very cute paddock. I would definitely stay there again and highly recommend it.
We only stayed one night. Very neat and clean. Believe it will be wonderful and relaxing to fish and enjoy nature. Owners very hospitable, wish we could stay longer.
Beautiful surroundings, friendly staff. Great fish, nice atmosphere! Will definitely see me again!
Beautiful resort, especially our chalet with its own pool. The restaurant in the resort is a winner and the service is excellent. All the staff are friendly and helpful. Will definitely visit again.
Our little house was very well equipped with the fishing waters just under the porch. The owners and workers are hospitable and helpful. Food at the Rooi Garnaat is tasty and affordable. We had a great stay and will definitely go again.
The facilities at The Dell are basic but one does not need anything more. Everything is clean and tidy and the staff is very friendly and helpful.
We stayed in the Osprey unit, it was very neat and clean when we got there. The unit is nice and open and close to the river. The cleaning service made it convenient for both of us and we will definitely return with friends and family. The signal was bad, but nothing we couldn't handle.
Yes, thanks, we had bats and were moved to the old farmhouse.
Quiet and peaceful, hospitable. Relaxing. Good atmosphere.
Absolute rest for the soul, quiet and nature. What more do you want.
Very good overnight stay if you choose Klipspringer chalet. Other units are river facing, might be good for longer than a 1-night stay.
Great time at The Dell. The house was beautiful and tidy, just what you need for a break from the city. We really had a great time and will definitely visit The Dell again. Only recommendation to The Dell's owners would be to put security gates with insect nets in front of the doors and windows. Then mems can sleep well with an open glass door and still be safe from thugs, as well as from the mosquitoes and flies.
Accommodation is not suitable for small children or the elderly. The chalets we have booked do not have adequate safety rails at the stairs or at the balcony. The chalet is impractical. The bathroom is tiny and it's right next to the tiny kitchen. Some of the equipment such as the toaster was also broken and the kitchen was not well equipped e.g. nor is there a salad bowl. There is also not a lot of 'counterspace' to unpack or work on anything. It depends on which chalet you book. The campsite is very beautiful and the river view is also beautiful.
It's beautiful with the wildlife in the camp, but had fun with the ostriches. I also appreciated that they bring the breakfast to your chalet, it makes the break even more peaceful.
Had a great break and will go again in the summer.
The rooms are very well equipped and tidy, it's a peaceful getaway with everything around you that you need. the Rooi Garnaat restaurant is a bonus on site.
In nature but still at als in no time, will come again, thank you for your good service.
Nice place. Beautiful animals. Hospitable.
Very friendly and hospitable. Had a great stay there, would definitely recommend it.
It's a very beautiful place. Friendly people, they have good food too.
The unit is right on the river which is something special, we enjoyed a big breakfast and a game drive right after. The game drive is a must, if only to see the scale of the crater. Excellent for fishermen too.
The game drive was a highlight and the service fantastic.
The place was very neat and clean, everything you need was there (pots, barbecue, microwave). They saw we had a baby boy and asked if we would rather move to the chalet where the braai area is covered to make it easier for us and baby at the same price, which we did, it was great considerate. We really enjoyed our weekend.
Great stay that exceeded our expectations.
The resort on the other side of the river was bothering, especially with guests who played loud music. Beautiful accommodation with all the necessary facilities. A great weekend getaway spot.
Friendly reception and indication of our unit. Beautifully situated on the banks of the Vaal River.
The Wildsrit is a must.
The bed linen on photos is not the same as found in rooms. For the cold area I feel there could be warmer bedding. There are 3 beds in the house with 2 extra blankets. Luckily I brought my own warm blanket. For the nice decor in the house, I feel the bathroom mats and the broken leather chair can be replaced.
We had a nice stay and had a good time, you just need new beds and pillows. There is a dirt road to the resort that needs attention. The ostrich is troublesome and eats food from the tables. Other than that it was quiet and safe.
The place was clean and awesome. The staff are friendly and very welcoming.
It was a wonderful getaway weekend. Very friendly service. Neat and clean.
Very peaceful, was able to relax. Will definitely go again.
Clean, neat and very helpful. Excellent location and natural beauty.
Vicky was accommodating and very helpful. Will go back to rest anytime.
Great location. Views of the river are great from all the chalets/rooms. They have a small restaurant and shop now which is an added bonus if you don't want to travel into town. Two ostriches roam around the property.
Wood, ice and soft drinks are available in the reception area. The accommodation is very luxurious and incredibly neat. The fireplace is also a bonus.
Fantastic hospitality and a lot of effort made to make our experience special.
Great value for money. Please get barbecue tongs
Only aspects that disappointed me were: 1) No air conditioner, a must on a hot day and evening. 2) No TV, things get very boring if it rains in the day or night, can still fish if the weather is nice. 3) The price is not cheap, expect at least the above. Also very nice.
Friendly people and service.
Accommodation was neat and well maintained. Vicky went out of her way to make our stay very enjoyable for us. She specially arranged a TV for us to watch the rugby test. We really appreciated all the effort. The Dell is really focused on customer service. The 2 tame ostriches were very entertaining. Fishing was not great. Little wildlife seen on our game drive. Everything else was very nice.
Environment is beautiful, very quiet and beautiful nature.
I enjoyed the sunset sitting on the river bank with some friends. Just pure quietness.
Perfect for groups and fishing.
All the accommodation has verandas overlooking the river. It was quiet, with places to stay some distance from each other.
The resort is much smaller than advertised. No activities, such as canoeing or cycling available. The bikes that were available were only for riding through the few chalets that are there. The person in charge of the canoes was on leave. The advertised restaurant/shop was rarely open. The one morning we did want to have breakfast, the cook was in town. There was also no water at all one morning. The double bed in our chalet was broken. This was reported to the cleaner, but nothing was done about it. This resort is ideal for people who only fish and do not have children.
Very close to Johannesburg, very clean and good and safe accommodation at an affordable rate.
See stars.
The visit at The Dell exceeded all my expectations.
Rus vir jou gedagtes.
We had a wonderful stay!
Quiet place to have a weekend away and not drive too far.
The unit was clean and well laid out, nice and rustic. The hosts were fantastic and friendly. The facilities are great, and the location on the river provides some lekker places to chill.
The stay was very nice. Will go back again soon. Just would have liked a trash bag and cloth for dishes. But other than that it was really fun and I'm already planning our next visit there at The Dell! Terribly beautiful nature. Enjoyed it a lot
Nice spacious area.
Piet My Vrou's bathroom very cramped.
Although the kitchenette is small with a small fridge, it is well equipped. Peaceful destination, beautiful location.
We stayed in house pofadder. Dirty bedding. Found dead mouse in kitchen. Kitchen cupboards stink Toilet seat is broken. Room door cannot close. Floors were dirty. The price does not justify the place. Very expensive for what you get. But the other houses by the river look nice and in better condition and the river itself is very beautiful.
Was very neat and close to the town. Children could fish and adults could drink wine and relax.
Will book with them again anytime, especially the Klipspringer accommodation. Everything you need, calm and quiet and the cutest guests (ostriches) who come to say hello throughout the day.
It was a great experience to stay at The Dell. Friendly staff and beautiful housing. The buildings and grounds are well maintained. Quite a few animals moving through the houses to the river. Will definitely go back again.
The place was very well equipped and very peaceful. No noise and one can really relax. Was received very kindly, only problem is one can get a little confused with the steps around the bed if you get up during the night and it is dark, but otherwise I can really recommend this place. Will definitely go there again.
Close to relax area. Will definitely go again.
My friend and I really enjoyed our visit to The Dell. It was a surprise to know such a cute place is so close to our hometown. We were kindly received and stayed at Likkewaan. The place was clean and tidy and had everything we needed. With the river barely 20 meters away, we watched birds and just sat and relaxed. We also walked to some of the other places and all the cottages we could see were beautifully equipped and very cute. There were plenty of blankets, the bathroom was well equipped. I would suggest that extra loose lamps be placed in the lounge - lighting was not adequate, which made reading a bit difficult at night. Otherwise lovely. Thank you. Will definitely go again.
Right next to the Vaal River. Just what one needs to become human again.
Perfect location right on the river. We had a lovely stay in the Likkewaan chalet and can recommend it for a family. However, the loft is very warm with little air flowing. The living room downstairs can also do with better lighting. No TV and we enjoy reading, but struggled in the evening with too little light. The large veranda overlooking the river is a bonus.
Had a wonderful time, very peaceful place with great client service.
The long weekend at The Dell was peaceful and enjoyable. The hiking trails were well marked and a good experience. The videos on the web page that show what the units look like do not completely match what is in the specific unit. The units are very nice, but the boiler was dirty when we got there. One day cleaners didn't show up to clean the unit and the one day they did come they didn't throw out the trash. The units are very close to each other - so if the neighbors turn on or stir their taps you can't help but wake up and get up.
We stayed in Loerie. Our host was very helpful and friendly. Even though we checked in late at night, he met us at the reception and accompanied us to the cottage. On arrival there was a distressed drain smell in the cottage which dampened our excitement. We reported it the next day and they would have attended to it. Other than that it was a pleasant place to stay.
Pleasantly surprised with the location, facilities and privacy along the river. The chalet is located on the river bank which I expected and our cooper really enjoyed. Will definitely go again.
My husband and I really enjoyed it. Would recommend to anyone.
Good location and lovely stay. Would definitely recommend The Dell and would definitely stay there again.
The only negative is the poor stretch of dirt road. Actually not suitable for a car for me personally. It would have been nice to know this beforehand.
Accommodation is "spotless". Everything you need for a nice quiet weekend. They are very helpful and are there within minutes if you need anything. Nice quiet place to fish. It was nice to be private. Was very cold but there was a small bladder heater which helped. Everything is neat and new and everything works.
The people are incredibly friendly. The place is indescribably beautiful. Even in July, the warm fireplace was a big plus, as were the electric sheets. The animal life, birdsong and variety is incredible.
Will recommend to friends and family. Nature beautiful quiet environment. Clean and tidy grounds. Friendly and prompt service. Will definitely come back to relax.
Wonderful experience. Thank you very much!
It is a very nice and peaceful environment. We had a great time relaxing by the water.
It was very nice, quiet and clean.
We were warmly and kindly received, everyone at The Dell is helpful and makes you feel at home. Everything is nice and clean and would definitely recommend them.
We were very well received and had a wonderful overnight stay.
Very nice stay in te Piet my vrou chalet, it has everything that you need. The owners were very helpful.
We enjoyed it so much, the fireplace was so nice and warmed the room. The staff is very friendly. It's very beautiful and the ostriches walk around in front of your porch!
We had been in the Osprey unit which I suspect is the best unit on site. It was truly an incredible two days.
If you would like to get away from everyday noise, this is not the place for you. It's different people's rock-hard music across the water and reverberates so badly that there is no silence until those people first go to sleep. Then again, our unit was opposite another unit building. The people next door didn't check in until 01:00 in the morning and you can hear everything that goes on inside the unit next door. I should have gone and silenced them and I'm just glad my child wasn't along and his ears didn't hear certain things! Furthermore, it is nice and tidy there and I think the animals that roam around there are very cute, like the ostriches that came to say hello early in the morning.
It's very quiet and peaceful. The Vaal Dam is also beautiful. We wish we could've seen more animals, but the 2 ostriches were very nice. The only negative was the gravel road. We didn't realise a normal car would have trouble on the road. Wish we could have stayed longer!
The Dell is in a peaceful environment and very tidy. Conveniently close to Paris and surrounding activities.
The stay was nice. Can only improve the shower's water pressure by changing the shower head at Piet my wife. The balcony's chimney must also be fixed so that one can barbecue with wood.
We were kindly welcomed by the host and he provides excellent service. It's a lovely place to switch off, because it's a long way from town. The dirt road there is not very nice and persons with low vehicles must drive carefully. The Dell may also consider hanging a mirror in the room to easily blow dry hair and apply makeup. There is also no shower. Overall we had a nice stay and would go there again. The springboks and other game on the farm are also a bonus. Thank you very much!
It's a peaceful place, does need aircons in the houses. Swimming pool also needs work. Also very quiet.
Puff adder needs attention. Thank you, it was nice.
It was very warm and humid, we struggled to sleep. The fan in the chalet is not good enough. Aircon should be considered, please. The place is neat and clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the weekend and will definitely recommend this place.
Will definitely visit again and recommend!
Such a warm welcome at reception. The directions were correct and we didn't have any problems finding the place. Clean and neat.
The reserve itself is beautiful and the riverside location is a great escape from the city. Just a few comments: We were in the Klipspringer Chalet, where we had a 10 liter geyser that did not provide enough hot water for one shower. The linen was also not sufficient - there was no duvet, only an old woolen blanket and a blanket, which is unhygienic. At R1000 per night we expected more, and the unit costs the same as the other luxury units.
See stars.
A resort where the silence and tranquility of the beautiful nature is the ideal place to recharge your batteries. It's a clean, tidy self-catering resort with well-maintained accommodation and friendly service. Caution on the dirt road to the resort is necessary for cars with low ground clearance due to the good rains this season. The resort will definitely see me again.
It was really amazing! Would really recommend The Dell to anyone. It's an experience, peaceful, quiet and just beautiful. The animals are also pretty damn cute.
Thank you for the hospitality, tidy room and effort! I recommend it to anyone!
Extremely neat place, staff and owner very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend.
It was probably the best time we ever spent at The Dell. Total privacy, excellent service and friendliness. We enjoyed our days out fishing right at our Osprey cottage and grilling together the tame bushbuck and ostrich. Wish we could go every weekend!
Very hospitable. The unit was neat and clean. Didn't want to leave. The tranquillity is unbelievable.
The Dell is the perfect place to escape to. Quiet with such a nice atmosphere. Would definitely visit again!
Our chalets were by the river and it was very nice and relaxing. Staff very friendly. The Dell is also very nicely maintained and nicely green, will definitely go again, definitely recommend The Dell!
Vet beautiful area. Friendly service and very neat.
It's been a lovely few days at The Dell. We were pleasantly surprised with the accommodation and facilities. Als was very neat and clean, and we had a fantastic view. The kitchen had everything we needed, very complete. The service we received was very friendly and tidy. They went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The nature and silence was a nice treat. Some of the animals walked right in front of the porch. We will definitely visit there again!
Friendly people. Saw many animals and although the weather didn't cooperate it was too nice to just enjoy nature and ride the bikes around in the fields.
The accommodation was clean and tidy and we were received very kindly. Beautiful wildlife to see. Perhaps only mention should be made on the website of the 6 km dirt road from the turn off of the tarmac road to The Dell.
It was very nice to stay by the river, would have liked to stay longer.
Genotvolle verblyf by Klipspringer Chalet. Knus en die privaatheid was lekker.
Thank you Eugene, Vicky, Dirk and the cleaning staff. They went to a lot of trouble to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The terrain is well-maintained. Will definitely go back.
Pity that the 2 single bed mattresses of which the king-size bed exist should've been thrown away a long time ago. 2 nights was long to sleep like that. I would like to see that it is mentioned somewhere that the gravel road is in a poor state - not suitable for any vehicle. Was happy to be so close to the water though.
Will go to The Dell again. The tranquility and cleanliness are heavenly. Can recommend it to anyone who just wants to relax. The staff are very friendly and make you feel right at home.
Service was excellent and friendly. I will visit again anytime.
Friendly staff. Tidy and clean and very safe.
We were received kindly and everything was well explained. Dirk was a great help and went out of his way to help us and make things run smoothly. I can truly recommend The Dell.
It should only be a private house and not next to other accommodation.
You will forget yourself in the tranquility. Everything is clean and tidy and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I would go there again anytime.
Goeie diens en 'n pragtige plek, met lieflike uitsigte en 'n lekker rustige atmosfeer!
The living facilities are nice and clean and the reception friendly. They are always available to help. It is wonderfully quiet and peaceful. Especially liked the "personal" deck on the river. Not too far from where we live, so it's the perfect weekend getaway.
The reception was very friendly and the and the book-in very easy. The house was clean and the lawns were short and well-kept. Will definitely visit again! Wonderful place.
We will be back. Just what you need for a getaway!
Thank you very much Dirk and Vicky for your hospitality. The Dell is definitely a place where you can leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind for a few days and just become human again. We had a great time and rested. The unit is well equipped with everything needed. See you again soon.
We stayed in Viserand, everything was incredibly neat and well furnished. The view over the Vaal River was fantastic, and we had a great time relaxing. It is the perfect "break away" for city people, just to breathe again and enjoy nature. The "shop" is a bit expensive, so take everything you need with you. Will definitely always recommend "The Dell". We are regular visitors there.
Personal attention was excellent. Very quiet and private. Ideal place to relax and just enjoy. Ensure a holiday experience, you and the nature around you.
Would definitely recommend it. It's a neat, beautiful place and the goats and ostriches often come for a bite to eat. It's incredibly beautiful.
Feel free to see the stars.
Very clean and tidy. Would prefer a shower in the unit. Very quiet and peaceful.
It rained a lot during our stay and the level of the water rose remarkably. Our unit (Visarend) was closest to the water, so it was interesting to see, but quite scary too!
Sorry about the dirt road which is a bit bad, but the rest is very good and we really enjoyed our overnight stay.
We always enjoy going to The Dell, my husband really enjoys the fishing and the private deck is a big plus for us. The Hartbeestent is comfortable, and has everything we need.
We had a great time at The Dell. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The atmosphere so close to the water is peaceful. I suggest that the kitchen and kitchen utensils be renovated.
I would recommend this place any time. The peacefulness is good for the soul.
Facilities, staff, and location are very good. The fact that they have a green (solar power etc.) approach is a big plus. The camping area is right next to the chalets. A bit bothersome when the campers listen to music until late at night, otherwise everything was 100%.
Wonderful and helpful service at a great place to spend time in nature!
Children enjoyed the open fields and was able to ride their bikes. The bucks and ostriches also paid us a visit. We stayed in Pofadder, a spacious unit. Recommend comfy couches in front of the fireplace, as the current one's are hard and uncomfortable.
Well looked after place, the only thing that wasn't nice was that it was bitterly cold and that there was no aircon. Will think twice before booking there again in the winter, but I will definitely return. The owner and his wife are very helpful and also went to a lot of trouble for us.
There is a large ventilation hole where the flies come in during the day and the bats come in at night. Not a good night's rest.
The photos and the reality are not the same. We were placed next to a campsite with loud music. We wanted to have a quiet weekend.
The chalets have incredible views and are luxuriously furnished and the service fantastic. There is something for everyone with their activities. We will be back for sure. Wonderful river views.
Quiet atmosphere, romantic, relaxing. There may just be a tarpaulin in front of the private swimming pool. Everything else was top notch.
Absolutely stunning, perfect discreet service, friendly warm hospitality, gorgeous chalet set on the banks of the Vaal where you can hear the fish eagle cries and receive visits from animals and birds. You're equipped with everything you need. HIGHLY recommended.
The Dell is definitely a place that will be recommended to any of our family and friends - truly a delightful experience and place to visit.
The reception and the facilities are great. Everything is of good quality and comfort. The tent was incredibly well equipped. The staff were friendly and helpful. Well done to the management.
We enjoyed every moment, the hospitality, the animals, the view, the fireplace... everything was just perfect. The Fish Eagle Chalet was well laid out and had everything we needed. We have, and will continue to refer people there. Many thanks to LekkeSlaap, without you we would not have spent our five years at such a wonderful place. Your service is by far the best and is appreciated.
What a fantastic place. Upon our arrival we were received like family. You just feel at home when you stop there. There is everything you need to make your stay as comfortable as possible. I love the fireplace in the living room where you can make a fire. The braai on the stoep is enclosed so you can braai even if it rains. We did a Nature Drive as well as a Couples Drive. It was breathtaking, our gamekeeper/guide Kyle's experience and knowledge is fantastic. We not only saw wildlife, but also learned a lot about certain types of plants that are edible.
Very nice and just booked an extra day. Nice to relax and with the wild animals that visited us often it was something special. Would definitely go again and recommend to anyone. Definitely worth the price.
Would definitely recommend The Dell! Looking forward to going again.
Very good, very clean and tidy. Friendly and very beautiful and peaceful. Definitely a winner.
Friendly reception from staff. It's nice when a tame ostrich comes to the barbecue area in the morning to check if something has fallen on the ground.
Will visit again.
Compared to the other accommodation options, I think the Old Homestead is not as tastefully/newly furnished. Will definitely visit The Dell again but in one of the other rooms.
Beautiful farm setting. Very neat and clean. Wonderfully private and peaceful. We will definitely visit again soon!
Klipspringer chalet's kitchen and bathroom are very small. But would recommend The Dell. Nice and quiet and beautiful views of the river. The goats, pig and ostriches that come to visit your cottage are definitely a highlight.
Very nice place to sleep if you have to be in Johannesburg the next day.
The venue is probably better suited for a larger group. We were there for only 2 nights, Saturday and Sunday, and were disappointed to discover our unit was not serviced on a Sunday. Nobody told us. Also, hiking was at an extra charge. We enquired on the Saturday, but then when we arrived early on Sunday to hike, we could not due to hunting in the area. Nobody told us that the day before. The unit is nice and cosy and has great river views, a bit cold in winter to braai down at the river.
We enjoyed it. Service is professional. Will definitely go again.
A very good experience. I got stuck in the mud at one o'clock in the morning and Eugene immediately came to help drag me out. Thank you very much for the effort!
We stayed in Pofadder which really needs some updating. The premises themselves are also average. Staff were friendly. Not much for kids to do.
This is extremely weak. We didn't even sleep there. Drive immediately. Furniture in the photos and in the chalets is different. Something was dead and rotting in the chalet, one could not breathe. Awful place.
What a pleasure to stay here. Incredibly neat and you can see they are very proud of their place. See you again soon. Idyllic place!
It was incredibly fun, the service is excellent, we really enjoyed the tranquility and the trip to the lookout point was awesome, as was the picnic.
What a great weekend experience! Everything is painfully neat, beautiful nature and location. The animals are sweetly tame and the goats eat right out of your hand. The staff/owners are particularly helpful and attentive. Our friends who were there were very positively surprised and will definitely go there again.
The Dell is one incredible place. We enjoyed our time there so much. Barbeque along the Vaal River on your own private jetty and relax deliciously while the meat chats on the coals. The game is very tame and simply braai together in the evenings. The unit is comfortable and clean, you just feel part of nature when you sleep in the Wildebees tent chalet. I have already recommended many people to rest there.
Friendly staff!
Was pleasantly surprised, warm welcome by Vicky, peaceful ripples of Vaal River, right in front of Chalet, friendly staff, neat comfortable chalet, lovely clearly marked hiking trails, in short, ONE BIG WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE! SAL THE DELL, SURE TO VISIT AGAIN! THANK YOU VICKY AND GREAT SLEEP CONSULTANTS, WHAT A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!!!
The staff are very friendly and this is truly one of the few place that look and feel like you expected after seeing the pictures. Thanks for a relaxing weekend
If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is the place to go. No TV in the chalet, no loud music, you can do some fishing. Absolutely surrounded by only nature. Had a lovely rest.
Nice getaway, great location, clean and tidy accommodation!
The gnats and mosquitoes are quite a nuisance, but the view over the river is beautiful and the visits from the goats, ostriches, sheep and piglet were special. We will definitely be relaxing at The Dell again.
