72 guests' feedbackHad a great stay.
It was very peaceful and received good service.
We had a nice stay and good hospitality.
Yes, I had a great stay and I enjoyed it.
Beautiful, but we need a TV in the room, and they must build a swimming pool. It's beautiful and relaxing.
Yes, the room was fantastic, just as I was also pleased with their service. The restaurant and facilities are very neat and special.
The place was clean even though the furniture was old. There was no TV, and there was too much noise from people. Dogs were all over the property, and I couldn't get out in the morning as I was scared of the dogs. Overall, the staff was friendly.
The whole room was covered with ants. There was no tea or milk. No cups to even drink coffee. Sink drain is clogged. Hot water is almost nothing. Bedside lights flicker on and off.
Will not stay there again and will not recommend the place to other people at all. The beds are hollow, no coffee facilities in rooms, the little bit of milk in the shared kitchen's fridge was sour, the shower taps don't work properly. Our friend was in an accident in the morning, we couldn't get out the gate at all, both numbers were down that had to be called to open the gate! We could only get out of there after 08:00.
This place has so much potential but looks like it is stuck in time. The tour of the place was just the room and bar. The room we stayed in was so outdated and not the cleanest. Owners were okay. Dogs were very cute. Our room was not the safest due to our door that didn't lock and the people who kept walking past our door. Even if the owner explained the loudness, I'm just disappointed they didn't respect the people sleeping here.
It was our second visit and we already look forward to the next visit. The place is nice, quiet, and clean. It feels like you are at home, and the people are very friendly. We had a wonderful weekend, it was our second visit and will not be our last. A nice place just to relax and enjoy.
Host and lady very helpful and friendly.
Very nice place to spend the night and very friendly owner and staff.
Looking for accommodation for just 1 night, did the Om die Dam race. Tropicana offers accommodation for just 1 night, great, most places 2 or more nights. Rooms were neat, delicious pizzas for dinner. Can definitely recommend.
The room we booked was double booked and the lady at the lodge gave us a down-graded room. However, the Manager later made up for it.
Garden very neglected. Toilet was clogged. Air conditioning not working.
We slept well, despite small things.
Good, quick stopover.
Poorly maintained unit, incredibly noisy until well after midnight due to music from the bar and pool hall. Air soured by the goat pen next to the rooms.
Would not recommend, had no hot water in our room. Need to step up cleanliness. Their entrance intercom doesn't work at the gate, loud music in the evening, can't rest.
Rooms were quite neat. But towels have holes in them and don't smell good. Bathroom light doesn't work, fan doesn't work, bedside lights don't work, shower curtain is dirty, shower water doesn't drain and stands in a puddle when you shower. Bar is very expensive with their soft drinks. No kettle, cups or microwave in the room. Don't expect it. But other than that, the bed was nicely made.
On arrival, the lady showed us our rooms and the lounge only. We only saw the kitchen at Tropicana Lodge & Function Venue on the last day of our stay. We struggled to organize the braai, from cleaning the braai stand to cooking. Then, the same night, there was a terrible noise from the bar, like a live band or something. I couldn't sleep until 2 am.
Would not recommend the lodge to anyone while the current owners are there. We stayed there on Saturday 2nd September 2023. The room is not at all to our liking, the bed is so hollow it feels like you are lying in a boat, the music was deafening and we couldn't sleep at all, I have 00H30 got up and went to ask the guy (he is sitting in the bar) when is the music going to stop or to turn it down because we still couldn't sleep at all, he answered me very arrogantly, if we don't like the music he will return our money and we can leave the premises. After exchanging a few words, we packed up still with deafening music in our ears and left the lodge at 01H00 back to Benoni. We are frequent travelers and frequent overnighters, never encountered such an arrogant owner, and this at a lodge! It seems to me that the bar and drinks are more important to him than the overnight guests who also pay for service.
My spouse and I really enjoyed our stay, the place is beautiful. Would highly recommend to others.
Darita is a wonderful hostess, for whom nothing is too much trouble. Guests' comfort is very important to her. The whole resort spells tranquility and you can properly recharge your batteries there. The food in the restaurant is of above average quality and absolutely delicious.
Friendly staff. We only stayed over for 1 night, sat in bar part because room does not provide.
Value for money and safety in accommodation.
Might be better to inform guests that there is no generator. Guest room faucets need to be worked on. Water flow is very poor.
Fridge was off and no place to plug in, had to use own power extension. Aircon was noisy so didn't use it. No coffee and tea available, had to go and ask and then the kettle didn't work either. Wanted to charge us extra because they upgraded us.
We stayed comfortably. Comfortable bed and room. All that was sometimes disturbing was the late night music.
In all the rooms there is no fan, some of the power plugs did not work. But otherwise had a nice stay.
I would definitely recommend this to a friend.
Nothing more to tell.
My husband and I were traveling through for a wedding and decided to stay the night here. Our bedding had holes in it, no water when we had to shower and toilet leaked. Our 'curtains' were basically translucent. We could see out and see in. Was overall not a nice overnight session. The place's restaurant has good food, would recommend it.
The place has potential, but I think they need more housekeeping personnel. The initial room we booked into was dirty (bathroom), I had to asked to be moved to another room, which was in a better state. The commune kitchen was filthy. The microwave and the fridge was very dirty. That is not a kitchen for guests who pay money to stay. I was not impressed at all.
Their kitchen is empty, no stuff to use except for a bar fridge and a tv. No house keeping was done. Their gates are kept locked which is good for safety but every time you need to go out you have to call someone to open the gates. I was not happy about my staying so I wont go back or recommend it to anybody.
Bed was like sleeping on the floor. No hot water in the shower. Not tea or coffee in the room. No cared to ask how we doing until we checked out.
Shared kitchen needs some attention. Short new cutlery as well as a microwave. And the jacuzzi doesn't work, they say the pump was stolen, it was quite a big disappointment.
If very nice. We just had almost no water at shower.
I am disappointed in the accommodation. Our sink was clogged. It's reported. It's not fixed because they don't have extra keys for the room. The fridge contained open yogurts, used milk and soft drinks. We had to ask for a cup to be able to drink coffee. It's a problem for me because we live with Covid. How do they clean their rooms? It was definitely not worth the price per night for me. Will not stay there again.
They should fix their showers, they are not working properly.
Although the reception and entertainment areas are neat and of high standard, the rooms (the actual focus for visitors) require extreme attention.
Room too small for the money I paid, found shower dirty, shower door kept on coming out, no fan in the room, kitchen was dirty and sink on the inside had fat residue, the microwave oven is old and rusty.
See stars
I feel the place was not good at all, we were received in a very bad way. It is not a B&B at all because there is no breakfast even though it says so, you have to pay R60 after we have already paid R700 for the evening. There was no kettle or coffee and tea at all. The shower we had had no water pressure and showered with very little water. The water was leaking badly from the shower into the room. I feel the units should be looked at. Would not recommend, will have to look at the website.
Tropicana Lodge & Function Venue must be removed from the list of holiday places, it is way too old, filthy, the kitchen is the worst, bedrooms are way too small with old bedding that smells cigarette. The owner is not professional, not helpful or bother to come over and assist when we had queries. We saw her the first day we checked in and never saw her again. Every time you drive out you must call them to open the gate, so if you do not have airtime you are in trouble. The dining hall couches are torn, smelly and you just fall inside when you sit. The room is so dark because there are no windows. Their pictures are deceiving. They do not clean the yard. I do not think any amount is worth paying for the place They don't even have a proper parking space.
Was awesome and the gardens are stunning. Highly recommended.
The staff are friendly, always ready to help.
None of the photos on the website was part of what we saw during our stay.
No towels in the rooms. There is only a kettle and not even tea or coffee in the rooms. Very small. The pictures showed a lot more than what one gets. The parking is far from the rooms.
It was really lovely and will definitely come again and have recommended it to my family and friends.
The place is exactly as depicted in the pictures and the staff is friendly.
I would recommend that you look at a ceiling fan in the room. The rooms are very warm and the one room's fan couldn't even turn. Perhaps just put a kettle and some coffee for your guests in the room. And your showers' entrances are terribly small! It is very uncomfortable to get in and out of the shower. Otherwise, everything was very nice.
Very nice place. Water for shower was only a problem. Trouble with water pressure. Couldn't shower properly.
Mattress in the room is old, blinds and bathroom door are broken. Not even a kettle in the room for coffee.
Your rooms are dirty as a pig sty. Very much old fashioned and dirty. Not alright for human consumption. Smelly and old beds that are itching. I won't choose any star for you.
Very friendly and helpful people. Had no problems with anything.
Not a bad place at all, just kind of boring because of lack of entertainment.
The place looked very neglected. Withered flowers on bedside table, dead fish in the almost empty pont and the security gate did not work. The bathroom was very small. A kettle with coffee would've been nice in the room. The garden look well manicured.
The beds are slept through and the pillow is a yellow color and very old.
No kettle in room to make coffee. Gate was not working properly. No TV in room. Couldn't sleep had to kill insects all night.
I'm doing business on a mine near the Lodge and I wanted my people to stay there because we are from Mpumalanga. The following was not acceptable: The photo of Lodge is misleading. We did not stay in the section as seen in photo. This is misrepresentation. There was no plug for the sink. There were no sheets on the bed. Just a duvet and mattress cover. No coffee, cups or glasses in the room. There were no hangers for your clothes. No soap and shampoo for guests. No chair in the room to sit. I often stay at other places and the price per head is the same Next time I will seek other accommodation for my team. With all the other guesthouses competing for guests, I would expect this places to be competitive. Not happy with my stay.
Aircon sounds like a tractor in your room. Not a good place.
I was very happy with Tropical Gardens Lodge. Christo was very friendly and my room was neat and clean.
Staff was not friendly, we were given poor service, Bedding and towels were not changed, it was so unhygienic, we found the bedding with stains.
