20 guests' feedbackThe cottage was well-equipped and had modern touches. Lots of love and care go into the maintenance of the place. We were very comfortable.
Beautiful location. Pretty neat.
Very nice stay. The following aspects need attention: Two mattresses need to be replaced. There is only cutlery for 7 people, while the chalet caters for 8 guests. The shower needs more hooks to hang clothes / towels. WiFi didn't work.
Enjoyed the accommodation and great service.
Valley Lakes is a wonderful stay, chalet comfortably accommodated our families with all we could ask for. Nestled near Underberg, plenty to see and do. Farouk assists with everything and seamlessly keeps your power on, he makes load shedding a pleasure. Overlooking a beautiful lake, hugged by rolling hills, you couldn't ask for more, an absolute gem.
The boys had a blast and I loved that they had the freedom to do what they wanted and safe so I could relax too. Comfortable beds, great fireplace and space to play family games at night. The smoors were an added treat to make us feel well looked after. We stayed at both the charming Pear Tree Cottage and lovely Valley Lakes - both Wisdom and Farouk were very friendly and attentive.
It is a very neat and peaceful place with wonderful views and nice walking routes. The house was well equipped with everything we needed, Farouk the caretaker looked after us very carefully and made sure everything was OK. The first farm gate is not marked which can be a bit misleading.
Unit no. 3 is very neglected and the maintenance needs urgent attention. We will not be visiting Valley Lakes again. Farouk was very helpful though.
Had a great time. Farouk, the man on site, very kindly helped with everything we needed. Beautiful surroundings. Everything was neat and clean. Will definitely go again.
Our accommodation was clean and neat. There were at least 6 vases with fresh flowers. The generator was on during loadshedding.
The weather was very cold, but the fireplace kept us warm.
The Pear Cottage in the mountains, is beautiful and everything you need just to forget about the city life. The rooms was nicely decorated with white linen and comfortable. We made a fire in the fiereplace and burn up all the wood they supply, because it was rainy and cold. We relax and look over the mountains. The owners was very helpful with locating you to the place. Will definitely spend time again at Vally Lakes. Kind regards. Sonja.
Very comfortable units, well appointed. Stunning views of the lake and mountains. My only recommendation is to put up a patio or some sort of shelter on the side of the unit that faces the lake as this can then be used to enjoy the outdoors if it rains which was the case for us.
We needed rest after a long trip, and Valley Lakes was perfect for that. If we wanted to stay longer, there might be a need for information about e.g. possible hiking options.
We were pleasantly surprised. Farouk went out of his way to help us and even offered before you could think of something! I'll visit again anytime and recommend them strongly!
We had a great stay but it would be good to inform guests of the following: There is very little toilet paper provided and it is far from any shops. It is said that no extra toilet paper will be given. Towels are not provided so make sure guests know this. There was also no communication from the owner, I asked questions about wood and what is provided and I got no answer back. I also let them know what time we would be there and got no response. It would also be good to have better outside lights so that one can barbecue.
The overall impression was good, rooms were neat, lighting was terrible though. Lighting in living area didn't work (lamp on table). No towels were provided. Reception can provide more info regarding necessities. Besides that, it was pleasant.
The service was great. Was very well received and the cottage was very tidy at all times and had everything to make the stay enjoyable. Farouk was very helpful and asked us about the hands. Will definitely go back again next year.
The cottages are beautifully located next to the dam and create a peaceful atmosphere. The surrounding nature is truly beautiful. For anglers, this place is surely a paradise.
Valley Lakes is a lovely getaway for someone from the city who is looking for some peace and quiet. Well equipped and beautiful location at the Dam and Farouk's excellent service was the cherry on top.
