407 guests' feedbackVery nice stay. Accommodation was clean and tidy and everything was there that one could need. Staff welcomed us kindly and even helped us with enough information to choose a restaurant for dinner. Security is good and the view to the dam is excellent. Would definitely recommend.
Very comfortable, convenient and clean unit. Provides privacy for a group of people.
Lovely spacious clean unit with a beautiful view of the pond. Fantastic service from Roxy! The gas grill on the porch is a big bonus.
Lovely big bed. Clean bedding and everything clean and perfect, just as we like it. Will definitely go there again!
Awesome. Friendly staff and an extremely safe environment.
Thank you very much for our beautiful, clean room! We had a very nice stay.
We were 6 people - hostess waited for us - helpful, friendly - rooms were neat, clean and we immediately felt at home.
A perfect halfway break when driving between Cape Town and JHB. Wish we could have stayed longer!
Pleasantly surprised. Much better than their listed stars. Information accurate regarding disabled Grandma who was traveling with regarding accessibility as well as the bathroom for her. Nice packages made up with just what you need for a family that is on its way back and just staying one night. An eye for detail such as milk, good quality coffee and variety of tea.
Our recent stay at View Lodge was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, we were mesmerised by the breathtaking views that greeted us—truly a slice of paradise! Whether enjoying a morning coffee or watching the sunset in the evening, the panoramic scenery was simply stunning. The lodge itself was beautifully designed, blending perfectly with the natural surroundings. The room was spacious, comfortable, and immaculately clean, with large windows that maximised the incredible views. Waking up to such a magnificent landscape every day was a dream! The staff were warm and attentive, always making sure we had everything we needed. They also offered excellent recommendations for nearby restaurants, ensuring we made the most of the scenic location.
Had a really nice stay. View Lodge has a beautiful view and it's neat.
View Lodge is a really nice place. Very friendly welcome. Quality bedding and amazing view.
Terribly hospitable and clean and beautiful.
Treated like the only client, service very excellent.
We enjoyed the stay and good location near N1 for overnight between Cape and Gauteng.
Very nice overnight stay. Good beds.
Clean, comfortable stay. Fit for purpose.
Lovely clean place - with electric blankets on all beds which were very welcome in the freezing cold while we were there. Very easy check-in process. Can really recommend them.
Very nice view. Spacious unit. Will definitely stay there again.
It's exactly what you expect and more. Well equipped and everything you need.
View over the Gariep dam is beautiful, very neat rooms. Reception was friendly and very helpful. Very satisfied with the destination.
Sorry it was only for one night. Beautiful view.
The view of the dam from the unit that we were booked into was stunning. The unit had everything that we needed. The reception was friendly and extremely helpful.
The view was fantastic. Clean, safe, lovely.
What a nice surprise! When my husband arrived there with the twins, we realized that it was exactly the same accommodation as where we stayed in 2018. Great stay.
Very nice place, well located.
View Lodge was excellent from start to finish. We parked right next to our room, so luggage load in and out was a breeze. The rooms were neat and tidy, with enough space for the 4 of us. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped.
It was one of the best.
Yes definitely. The hostess really went out of her way to make our first night of honeymoon special. She served us a lovely 3-course meal at very reasonable prices. She put a lot of effort into making everything look nice. The honeymoon suite is also very nicely decorated.
Delicious. Beautiful view and well rested after a long journey.
I had a great stay. It was quiet and neat. Ideal for a break for the long haul drive between Cape Town & Jozi.
We were received very kindly and everything was neat and orderly. The view from the room was great.
Had a great sleep over. Excellent service from the driver. Will stay there again.
Good service, nice view.
Very neat, nice view. Lounge chairs may be upgraded. Very friendly reception. Dinner at Tjailatyd is a must.
Beautiful location with a stunning view of the Gariep Dam. The apartment was well equipped, spotlessly clean and the welcome from Lara exceptional.
Lovely quiet environment with very nice dam view. Neat unit with enough space and good quality fresh linen. The braai on the balcony and the pool are a big bonus. Very friendly reception with hospitable host.
Nice! Swimming and barbecue excellent, good parking.
We had an amazing stay at The View Lodge. The place is beautiful with a breathtaking view that instantly relaxes you. However, there is room for improvement in terms of the standard of cleaning, but otherwise the service and overall experience was excellent. We will definitely visit again!
Nice view, spacious and well equipped.
Warm welcome after long drive.
Self-catering unit nr 2 was beautiful, modern and well equipped with a beautiful view from the top floor. Great quality bedding and towels and comfortable beds. The only addition I would make is some heating for the top floor (kitchen/lounge area).
Had a nice stay except the unit was not equipped with a two plate stove; that would have been excellent.
Friendly welcome So winter time, slept so nice and warm. Beautiful, clean place. Can recommend anyone to stay there Thanks View Lodge.
Had a great time, thank you.
There is no need for more than what you offer! It's a cute comfortable room with friendly staff. We loved it! Thanks so much!
We often sleep for this. It is comfortable and feels like home.
Safe and clean accommodation.
Perfect for a night or 2 sleepover. Very neat, lovely view.
Lovely. And a great view!
Strong winds and stormy conditions made the braai room a fantastic stay. We were warm and cosy braaing lamb chops in the sheltered area.
Very nice. Friendly staff, couldn't be better.
Good stay, very comfortable place.
See stars.
Very clean and comfortable, great overnight stop between Jhb and Cape Town but not wheelchair friendly.
They need to pay attention to their bathroom facilities in the unit we stayed in please. Thank you.
Stayed well. Very central.
Comfortable accommodation for an overnight stay with a view of the Gariep Dam. Friendly reception on arrival. Lighting in the kitchen was too dim to be effective at night.
Very nice overnight stay. Rooms were comfortable.
Very friendly welcome. Accommodation is very neat and clean.
Enjoyed the stay and spent 1 evening in the common lounge playing games. Was awesome. The host was very friendly and sorted out the noisy neighbours.
Very friendly reception. Very helpful with restaurants in the area. Very nice view on dam.
Yes, thank you. It was just very hot. The upper floor has no cooling.
When we arrived, we informed the lady that the toilet was broken and not flushing. She couldn't get the toilet right and you had to remove the bowl if you wanted to flush the toilet. It was unpleasant. For the price one pays, I expect there should be a proper shower head in the shower. The pillow is tiny with such a small TV. We were also told that they have water restriction and we can only use a little water (the stuff I feel should be told ahead of time, then I will book in another place). We also couldn't log into the WiFi, it wasn't available. The lady was kind.
Quiet and nature is awesome.
Had a particularly nice stay. Everything so beautiful. Thank you for your kind reception.
Definitely a safe and secure quiet place to relax and unwind. Good restaurants close by and friendly, helpful people all round.
It exceeded all our expectations.
Terribly beautiful view of the dam. Definitely a must stay.
Have stayed here a few times. Can highly recommend.
Very spacious units, clean and tidy. Can recommend it.
Beautiful, neat, clean unit with a beautiful view of the dam.
Everything was perfect. Very nice view and good service!
We only spent 1 night but everything was to a high standard. It was bitterly cold, but we didn't notice it at all inside. It has a wonderful view over the Gariep Dam.
We have been there 3 times and each time we have been treated very well and the place is always clean. The view from the rooms over the dam is fantastic.
Place met all our requirements 100% and would happily stay there again. Absolutely recommend the place.
Nice explanation of everything at the room. Very neat and the view is beautiful over the dam.
The perfect place to spend a night if you are breaking up the trip between the Western Cape and Johannesburg. The unit had everything we needed and the hosts were wonderful. The restaurant at Quest Petrol Garage delivers but a visit to the actual restaurant is highly recommended!
Thank you very much for being able to accommodate us at very short notice. The room is very comfortably equipped with everything needed for an overnight stay. The view is breathtaking.
We have probably been sleeping there for 5 years now. It's an awesome place to stay and very clean and tidy.
Very friendly reception. Clean and tidy accommodation. Quiet and well located.
Calm atmosphere. Beautiful view of pond. Nice environment.
Nice room, sorry load shedding only affects the room.
The unit was adequate for our needs and the host was welcoming and helpful. It definitely does have an excellent view of the Gariep Dam.
Well located and very tidy. Electric blankets for the cold winters.
Neat clean room. Friendly and helpful staff.
The unit is nicely located with a beautiful view of the dam (as seen in the photos). Clean bedding, nice amenities and safe parking. Have stayed here before, will definitely come again. Thank you!
The kids enjoyed the swimming pool and braai area. The unit had an amazing view and was very peaceful.
Would stay there again for a longer period of time.
Very pleasant welcome and place is safe and tidy and in a quiet area. Water is their biggest problem in the area as we understand from everyone in town. We did not experience any water problems during our stay.
Good stay. Customer service is not very good. WiFi doesn't work at all.
It is self-catering as we preferred, but facilities not so arranged. Fridge is too small. Nothing to put in salad or side dishes. Yes, a braai for grilling outside, but no braai tongs or bowls available to put fried meat in. WiFi was also very weak.
Info given on reception was sufficient and the friendly reception was excellent. Accommodation was good and the surroundings were very beautiful.
Nice bed - good quality mattress.
I would recommend the View Lodge as a stop over to rest.
Room very small. Still neatly clean and reception friendly.
Good value for money, excellent stay for either a halfway stop or a weekend away.
The only criticism is the one toilet that was not in working order. It wanted to appear whether the management is aware of it?
Was pretty neat and very safe.
Views were stunning.
Always very nice to stay there. We will stay there again.
Will definitely stay at View Lodge again, very friendly welcome.
Well equipped unit. Very neat. Filter coffee a winner.
Accommodation was super neat. On a cold evening, we were very warmly welcomed with beds that were nicely heated by electric blankets! A pleasant experience indeed!
The best place to stay. Best service ever and always very welcome, clean, tidy.
The best place and best view.
Lana was a wonderful hostess. Everything was very neat and clean. There is also secure parking behind gates.
The accommodation is spacious with lots of natural light and a breathtaking view of the pond. Perfect rest and relaxation place.
The unit was clean and tidy. Would advise any person to use it. Very hospitably received by hostess.
The self-catering unit is particularly neat, spacious and has everything you need after a long day's travel. The view over the Gariep is unbeatable and we were pleasantly surprised with the quality coffee and the coffee press allowed us to enjoy a decent cup of coffee the next morning. We ordered takeaway dinner and it was great to be able to enjoy quick, quality food after a long day of driving. I will definitely be back and recommend View Lodge.
Staff very helpful and unit very tidy and well equipped.
Definitely worth staying the night here.
For me, a good bed and safe environment are very important for a good night's rest. Here we got both.
One night was just too short. We felt very much at home.
Enjoyed our stay, clean room and friendly service on arrival and departure. Had a good rest.
It is such a beautiful and neat stopover destination between Pretoria and the Garden Route. The rooms are particularly neat, have great air conditioning and the most beautiful dam view from the room and veranda. Rarely do you see the pond so full, it was quite an exceptional sight. Thank you also for the most delicious breakfast at very reasonable rates. Will definitely stay here again!
Large family unit with all the amenities. Breathtaking view of Gariep Dam. Best place to sleep for us as a family and our dog children.
Used View Lodge for years, well equipped and tidy. Can recommend.
It was extremely comfortable with our teenage sons and baby girl. The view is breathtakingly beautiful.
The Llodge was very neat and clean and the linen wonderful. Ashley was so helpful in making everything as comfortable as possible. We had a wonderful stay and will stay here again.
See stars.
Comfortable accommodation.
The rooms are incredibly neat and the view is very beautiful.
Would stay here again.
Will stay there again if I have to spend the night in Gariep.
We enjoyed our one night stay very much.
We just slept over & met all needs. Very clean & tidy. Had a good rest for the ride on.
Reception was very, friendly and professional. Perfect for max 2 nights.
Secure parking, neat and clean facilities with very comfortable beds. View over pond is beautiful.
Technically nothing to fault except that it sounded like we were sitting in the neighbors living room. Hope it was just a problem with our specific unit (Apartment 4).
Very neat place, friendly and helpful people.
See stars.
One of our favorite places to sleep at when we travel to the sea. The place is always clean and tidy and the service is always good. It is a lovely, homely atmosphere. I would recommend View Lodge to anyone.
Friendly hosts with good accommodations.
Recommend View Lodge. It's neat, clean and fully equipped. The owner is very friendly and helpful.
Excellent customer service. Fantastic master bedroom with fantastic bedding. Most beautiful view with moon glistening on the water. Gas grill on the porch is very annoying. Coffee and biscuits are provided.
What I thought would be a quick overnight stay will become a vacation next time.
It is truly a very beautiful place. They bent over backwards to accommodate us. Very neat and would stay there again any day.
On arrival was received with open arms. Jeff is very friendly, helpful and quickly sorted us out with the necessary information!
Good value for your money. Beautiful views too.
Had a great time and so much to see. View of dam breathtaking.
Very friendly reception and was helpful with earlier check-in. Value for money, tidy, perfectly located and the most beautiful view of the dam.
Friendly service. We had a great time.
A wonderful stopover en route to Cape Town. Lovely views and accommodation well equipped for both the heat and cold.
Neat and clean accommodation with secure parking. Would highly recommend it.
Beautiful view, clean perfect accommodation.
Clean. Tidy. Helpful.
Very nice view, nice overnight stop.
Our stay was pleasant and the breakfast was truly exceptional. Would definitely recommend the lodge.
Three of us slept over for one night on our way to the Eastern Cape. The sun bag and view were so, so beautiful! Bedding and place were very clean and everything we needed. The breakfast was more than enough and worth the money!
Very good experience. Will definitely stay there again.
All was great, enjoyed the stopover.
Clean and very friendly staff. Breakfast was amazing.
We were very impressed with the service, breakfast, cleanliness, pool.
Very neat and friendly people.
Good location, great host and pet friendly. Will definitely return.
Everything neat, just like internet says, everything works.
I would recommend heating for the lounge area. It was very cold, with no heater.
We were very well received with friendly service. Location is great and the room's view was good.
Nice overnight facilities, the only complaint is that the TV is hopelessly installed too high. You can't relax after a long journey, because the cushions on one sofa are rock hard and the cushions on the sofa are set so flat in front of you to see the tall TV that you keep sliding down. The other facilities were very good.
We just spent the night there, on our way to PE. It was all we needed. Clean, tidy and safe for a good night's rest.
Enjoyed the bath or shower option, mini fridge, aircon/heater. Lana was an excellent, friendly and helpful host.
Pleasant stay. Beautiful, clean and tidy. Very well located with a breathtaking view and views of the Gariep Dam. Good location and safe. Definitely worth a visit. Thank you very much.
Always nice to stay here overnight. Everything neat and owners always friendly and helpful.
Very neat and clean environment! As a South African, one feels very proud of what our ancestors achieved!
Spacious, clean and tidy accommodation in a large apartment that sleeps 4 people. All kitchen facilities available for self-catering. Good view of the dam and very close to the dam wall. However, the village itself is sad and a sign of the economic decay of our countryside.
Tidy and comfortable stop over. Beautiful views of Gariep Dam.
Quiet environment with a nice view.
Was pleasant for an overnight stay.
We woke up to no water when we needed to depart and shower for the rest of our journey. The size of the patio was tiny, the "2nd bedroom" was in the open plan kitchen. We felt it was not value for money.
Very neat, comfortable room, hostess helpful and friendly, delicious breakfast.
View Lodge literally and visually stands out in the area. The reception was comfortable and we were in the rooms in no time. With air conditioning in every room, View Lodge is comfortable on the hottest summer days. With options for braai by the two swimming pools or a gas braai on the balcony, it was a pleasant stay for us for the one night.
Great decor! Nice breakfast.
Friendly and helpful staff. Very good service. Very mpoi, neat and clean rooms and very safe.
Friendly people. Perfect for an overnight stay to break up a long road trip.
It's a wonderful place to relax and rest. The service there is absolutely amazing. People are so friendly and still enjoy the breakfast there. Now that's a treat we won't soon forget. Will definitely go there again.
On arrival welcomed and given everything. Very convenient stop between Cape and Gauteng and usually used the hotel but that will be our new destination. Even though there is one bathroom, the second toilet makes everything easier. Unfortunately had to miss the breakfast but smelled very nice when we drove.
Net dat ek en my man se twee klein hondjies deel kon wees is al 'n plus vir ons dankie baie.
We only stayed one night, but would have liked to stay longer. Clean, comfortable room, quiet with a beautiful pool a few steps from your door! Security very good. We liked the idea that your car was very close to the room and also safe inside the security fence. Many thanks to the owner! You made us feel very welcome and the beautiful comfortable room with clean white bedding, everything modern and well planned had no shortcomings! We had a great time. It was just too short! Will definitely want to stay there again in the future!
Great stopover spot between Kenton and Johannesburg.
Staff was very friendly, breakfast is worth it.
What a hidden gem. Had a great stay at View Lodge.
Friendly welcome, very nice view of the dam. Everything you need is in the room.
Excellent sleepover opportunity.
Perfect for one or 2 nights stay. Delicious breakfast was on our table a few minutes later. Secure covered parking. Neat unit. View of dam was good.
View Lodge is not a place where you want to stay more than one night especially if you are in the hotel type room units. However, the unit offers everything you will need for one night. The shower inside the bedroom of hotel type unit is a bit of an inconvenience, but is not a big problem if you are only staying for one night.
The rate charged for the facilities offered by the luxury unit is exorbitant in my opinion. Unit 6 is quite hidden. Add to that the extremely small bathroom, especially the shower, then it creates the impression that the entire facility is the result of the conversion of a storage room.
We paid for the "Luxury" suite. The toilet didn't work, and we reported it. Jeff was trying to fix it. When we tried to use the toilet again, we still realised it wasn't working. We reported it again but this time Jeff said he couldn't help because he wasn't on the premises. It was about 8 o'clock on a Saturday night. He did not offer to make a plan to ensure that we had a working toilet. We also booked for breakfast with Jeff, about an hour after our arrival he came again to ask if we would like breakfast, because he said he could not remember if we had booked. View Lodge and Jeff's service was incredibly poor and in my opinion not worth a cent of the money we paid. They should repay our money. We will never stay there again.
I doubt I'll ever stay anywhere else if I'm travelling to the Cape. The owners are such kind and wonderful people and make you feel right at home. And as before, the rooms were spotless and the bed was very comfortable. A good night's sleep is very important to me when you have to drive far distances the next day.
Safe, clean, beautiful and neat.
Our stay was top notch! Friendly and picture-perfect.
Very pleasant stay and everything was spotlessly clean. The owners are very friendly and make you feel welcome.
Very peaceful and enjoyed it after a long drive.
Friendly owners and delicious breakfast.
Very nice and neat accommodation with everything you need. Ideal for a stay on the road for holidays. The owner is very helpful and the views over the dam are breathtaking.
The room and bathroom were very neat and comfortable. Everything you need for a sleepover was there and more. Everything was nicely labeled and directions for everything were in the room. Will definitely use the View Lodge again!
The reception was friendly and professional. The place looks exactly as advertised and has a very nice view of the dam. There are little extras like the rusk and the shower goodies among others that just made it extra special. The air conditioning is also very good, especially while it was so hot. The shower was just a plus point. Definitely worth every penny and more.
Beautiful sunrise. Nice.
Unit was big enough for 4 adults with a well equipped kitchen. Everything was very clean and tidy and the owner and his wife very friendly and welcoming. Delicious breakfast useful before we hit the road again. Would definitely recommend!
When we drive to Cape Town we always stay at Gariep Dam, either on the way there or on the way back. This time we decided to book at View Lodge and were very impressed! It is top-quality accommodation, spacious and well-furnished. Add to that the friendly reception, the unbeatable views of the dam and delicious breakfast and you won't want to stay anywhere else! Thanks so much Sarian and Jeff.
Everything was neat, friendly people. The view was breathtaking. The attention to detail to make it enjoyable for us was much appreciated!
Great stay, beautiful view. Lovely environment.
Five star accommodation, clean, tidy and quiet.
We have stayed here before and were once again impressed with the accommodation.
Lovely, beautiful, well cared for, beautiful view!
Most beautiful place and excellent view of the dam. The apartment was very neat and clean, the hostess was excellent and helpful with references to restaurants. Will definitely stay here again in the future.
The reception was friendly and very helpful. Accommodation was excellent, clean and tidy. Can't go wrong sleeping over there. One can almost spend a few days there and just rest.
The place was very neat and tidy. Great views and the breakfast was fantastic. Will certainly go back there if we plan on going through the area again.
Brilliant location with stunning views! Gariep dam area is worth a visit, especially a tour of the dam wall! Amazing! We had a very big and spacious duplex unit with lots of space for the kids to play. The property has 2 swimming pools! Our family unit was well-equipped with a full kitchen. Quiet area with secure parking!
Our 2nd time - was as delicious as last time.
Neat and stylish. Location is very good and view is beautiful. We had a very nice stay and the breakfast was also very nice. We could barbecue and swim and the facilities were available and of top quality. View Lodge is definitely recommended.
Beautiful view of the dam, very friendly service. Convenient and clean rooms. Swimming pool to cool down, braai your meat or enjoy dinner at the hotel just around the corner.
The owners make you feel like family. They went out of their way to ensure we had everything we could need. We will definitely stay there again.
Neat, clean, attention to detail to make it as comfortable as possible.
We've been making use of View Lodge for 3 years now and haven't had any problems. We always have a great stay there. They're always willing to walk the extra mile for their guests.
Friendly reception, lovely people, would highly recommend. Everything was great.
Wonderful host and wife. Wonderful location!
It was a relaxing atmosphere, neat, friendly and safe.
Beautiful place, had a friendly welcome. Have already recommended friends who will be staying overnight on 10/01/2020. I would book again for overnight.
We were very kindly welcomed and recommended where to enjoy a nice dinner. The place is very neat, will stop by again for sure.
The hosts were fantastic and the location unbelievable.
View Lodge exceeded our expectations! This is definitely the place to stay when traveling through Gariepdam. Thank you very much!
The location is good, view is beautiful and safety is good.
The best stay! Safe, neat, so clean, wonderful views of the dam and fully and well equipped! Will stay there again anytime.
Can wholeheartedly recommend it. The service and room were everything we needed for an overnight stay.
We were kindly received and informed about restaurants in the area. Lovely, warm sleep in the middle of winter with the most beautiful view over the dam!
Thank you for a lovely clean, comfortable, neat room. Friendly reception, secure parking and location excellent. Value for money. We will definitely stay there again. Regards.
Very clean, pleasant people.
Very nice view with friendly people. Highly recommended.
Ideal halfway house for a quiet evening after a long day's travel.
View Lodge was a very convenient, safe and comfortable overnight stop for us not too far from the N1 between Cape and JHB. Thank you for everything, you will surely see us again.
Webtuiste's photo gives the impression of unobstructed views. However, from rooms it is limited. However, the room was a bit cramped even though it was clean and tidy. Kitchen is very small with no cooking facilities apart from microwave oven. No sink, so can't be used to prepare own meal though.
Having stayed at A'damsview Guest House in Gariep a few nights before, we were very disappointed in View Lodge. The room was indeed clean and tidy, but extremely cramped. The shower and sink are plugged into the room right next to the bed without any partition which is extremely inconvenient. The shower also did not have a shower head with the result that the water sprayed everywhere. Because of the layout of rooms, it was also very noisy and one could not sleep peacefully. There are also only about 4 or 5 TV channels in total. We will not spend the night there again if we sleep over in Gariep.
Was an enjoyable stay. Friendly owners.
The room was clean and neat, just small.
Not worth R900. Will never stay there again. It is very disappointing.
Personal attention, clean, tranquil and safe. Equipment in a good condition, delicious breakfast, will definitely go again.
Very neat place that is well furnished. Will it definitely evenings though.
The rooms were very comfortable and equipped with everything you might need.
Thank you to our host for her warm and friendly welcome. After a long drive it was great to relax with a superb view. The breakfast the next morning was outstanding! We can definitely recommend this gem.
Unit very spacious and clean. Car parked safely behind gate. Breakfast was also very nice! Thank you.
Our favourite stop on the way to Cape Town.
Had a great stay, will definitely be back for longer next time.
Friendly service with hospitable reception.
Once again we made an excellent choice with accommodation options and of course the reviews that are even more important. We stayed in room 5 for two nights. Sarian is a busy little person who gives everything to keep us guests happy. From beginning to end she was everywhere in the kitchen, at reception, her helpfulness, and her hand in the flat's finishing and cleanliness. We have no complaints and had a lovely stay with a smile on our faces. Now we have a new overnight stay (or 2) if we need rest along way! Thank you for going the extra mile for us and for looking after us so well, Sarian - it is highly appreciated!
Ons wat net een aand daar en die lodge was baie netjies met die perfekte ligging.
Friendly people and beautiful view.
Thank you very much for the hospitality. Come and visit again one of these days.
Service was excellent and the view fantastic. Value for money, definitely.
Clean, neat place with neat linen, and comfortable beds.
Clean, tidy, everything you could ask for. Fantastic view. Friendly service. We will definitely stay at View Lodge again.
We enjoyed it very much. Peaceful, quiet and beautiful surroundings.
Enjoyed every moment because everything was perfect.
Everything met our expectations. From the reception to the room. We will definitely use the accommodation again.
View Lodge at Gariepdam is a "must stay" place! The attention to small details makes the accommodation 5-star quality. Friendly, competent staff who take care of every little need of guests round off the picture of a perfect stay perfectly.
Excellent breakfast! The website is a bit misleading regarding restaurants available for dinner. We arrived on Sunday afternoon and only Forever Resorts was open. The kitchen doesn't stay open late. Guest arriving late won't have any place to eat.
The accommodation is great and the owner very helpful. Beautiful view.
Great place for a stopover. Hosts very welcoming. Place is great, very clean and well decorated. Would definitely stay there again.
The third time we stay there on our way back from Cape Town and we enjoy the clean, comfortable accommodation every time.
Rooms are clean and neat. Stunning view and warm welcome.
Was received with a smile. Everything that you need is available. Wonderful view of the Gariep dam.
Lovely modern rooms and bedrooms. Beautiful views from the balcony. You can see far and wide. A place where you can relax in the morning with your cup of coffee and watch the sun rise over the waters, followed by a delicious breakfast. Friendly hospitality. The hostess immediately makes you feel at home and you just want to stay longer.
Owners very friendly and helpful.
We were received very kindly. Unit very clean and comfortable! Fantastic view!
Beautiful, neat place. We were a family of four. Absolutely perfect stopover. We even had our own little kitchen and a very nice view of the pond. Friendly reception.
Very pleasant people with clean facility, very well located. It strengthens our confidence if such facilities are offered.
Friendly reception, very helpful. Room was neat and clean. Garden was neat and well maintained. Breakfast was one of the best and tastiest we have ever eaten at a guest house. Five big stars for them.
Very spacious and nice and tidy, a big bonus that our dogs were also welcome. Very nice view. Restful. Hospitable reception. Thank you very much, we would love to come again.
Be received by the friendliest lady! Very neat and spacious self-catering units with beautiful views over Gariep Dam! See again for sure.
Hospitality and my animal was welcome. Good value for money. Can definitely recommend it.
This place deserves more than just 3 stars! The breakfast is more than just value for money. The tasty, large portions and nicely presented. The rooms are shabby, luxurious and clean!
Beautiful and clean accommodation with a nice view of the dam.
Place was very neat and clean with lovely fresh bedding. We were kindly welcomed. Our car was very safe behind closed gate. We were told where to go for a bite to eat as it was Sunday evening. We will definitely stay there again.
Enthusiastic hostess! Helpful and caring. Very very clean room with a unique view of the dam. Tastefully furnished room with bath and shower. In your own room: tea, coffee and biscuits. Extended breakfast possible. We recommend it to everyone.
We will live there every time we go to Gariep Dam. It's great accommodation with friendly owners. Beautiful view and just absolutely nothing to complain about.
We were warmly received and quickly taken to our room. Personal attention until our departure. The cleanliness and scenery were amazing. I will definitely go there again.
Thanks so much for the wonderful welcome, we had a nice stay.
Nice views over the dam.
Professional service with the right balance between home feeling and privacy. We were warmly received and afterwards were able to nestle ourselves in a lovely unit with a balcony, overlooking the pond. The day was extremely hot, but the two air conditioners worked very effectively! After exploring the area, we were also able to cool off in the pool and use the guest house's bar (which was very reasonable!) This is the best place to stay at the Gariep Dam for sure!
I would recommend View Lodge to anyone. We had a great time.
We had a great time at View Lodge. Beautiful view over the Gariep Dam. Breakfast was delicious! The lady at the guest house was very accommodating and went out of her way to make it comfortable and memorable for us. Would recommend anyone to visit View Lodge.
Very good experience and would definitely stay there again and highly recommend to future travelers. Rooms were clean and tidy and facilities well maintained.
Great place to spend the night in comfort and rest for the road back to PTA. Lodge offers comfort and delicious facilities to rest well.
The units are spacious, stylish, equipped and comfortable with beautiful views over the dam.
The staff were very professional, warm and hospitable. Beautiful accommodation and spotlessly clean.
The luxurious room was beautiful and neat and next to the swimming pool. The guests at the swimming pool do invade on your privacy and the lack of a block-out curtain in front of the sliding door with the outdoor lights shining all night also disturbs your sleep.
Lovely overnight stay between Pretoria and Cape Town. Beautiful view over Gariepdam. Self-catering unit was tasteful and fully equipped, the balcony was a winner. A 180 degree view of the dam and at night a view of the most beautiful stars. We will certainly visit again!
It was wonderfully relaxing after a long, hot day on the road.
View Lodge provides beautiful, clean and comfortable units with a nice view of the dam. The owners are very friendly and hospitable and the breakfast was delicious. The beds are comfortable, the shower water sprays nice and strong and the air conditioning works well. Free WiFi is a plus. We will definitely stop here again!
Great place if you’re staying over in Gariep Dam. Will stay here again!
Great place to sleep over or visit. All facilities good, except fridge too small - especially freezer section. Air conditioning much appreciated.
Rooms clean and with en suite bathroom. Meals optional and good value for money. Friendly and professional service.
From the moment we were received until we left we were taken care of. Every aspect of View Lodge had been superb.
Can highly recommend View Lodge without any hesitation! Will definitely go to View Lodge again when we visit the Gariep Dam.
Great, thank you. Will definitely go again.
Very neat and clean, comprises everything you ned. Lovely entertainment area with swimming pool and braai area.
Owners are very hospitable. The unit is well equipped with all the necessary items to make your stay comfortable. We would stay there again anytime.
Had a great sleep. Particular view. Beautiful moonlight over the water and the most beautiful sunrise. Friendly service.
The reception was very good and the place to stay is wonderful. I would definitely recommend it.
This is our third visit to View Lodge, the standard remains excellent, can certainly recommend it.
Very friendly host, makes you feel right at home!
We didn't spend much time there, just slept over, but the accommodation was very nice, incredible view of Gariep Dam, tidy and very good security.
Upon our arrival the reception was poor. Our unit was tidy and beautifully clean. However, the lady who was supposed to take us to our unit was very absent and curt. Soon came for a visit and never saw again. When we left she was also missing in action and mobile only occupied. Quite disappointing after a very long, difficult journey, but the stay was lovely and beautiful and made up for everything.
We stayed overnight at View Lodge and the room was tidy with everything needed. We were received very kindly and would recommend it to people who want to enjoy a good view of the dam.
Neat and comfortable with small children.
Very very neat and clean. Can definitely recommend.
The unit is very nice, clean and well equipped with everything that could be needed. The view is picturesque. We were kindly received. Each unit has its own parking with its own locking gate. Will definitely stay here again!
Accommodation was neat and clean with enough space. Arrival went smoothly, secure parking but a bit noisy neighbours.
See stars.
Friendly reception, spacious unit. Very tidy with fresh, nice white bed linen and towels are worth 5 stars. Secure covered parking makes for a carefree visit even with valuables left in your vehicle.
Apartment had an upstairs living area and kitchen and we were a family with 2 teenagers and a younger child. All had a wonderful time as each had their own space. Best was the balcony overlooking the Gariep Dam.
An ideal overnight stop every time. Great breakfast and service. Will definitely visit again.
Comfortable and friendly people.
Friendly welcome. The unit was very neat and clean. Breakfast can also be provided which was very nice.
The location, cleanliness, friendliness and everything made it nice to relax there, a nice getaway. Will go again anytime.
We had a great time staying at View Lodge. The room was very neat and the location also very good with a nice view of the dam. We also felt safe with fencing all around as well as security cameras and the air conditioning was a lifesaver. Sarian was incredibly friendly and it was nice to meet another pug lover. It felt like we were visiting family. It was also the first guest house we stayed at where filter coffee is also available in your room with a plunger. I would really recommend them to anyone who wants to spend the night in the Gariep.
We were received very kindly and felt very at home very quickly. The room was very tidy and well-equipped. It met all our needs for overnight stays. The coffee and biscuits were of the best quality. We will definitely stay here again with our next trip to/from the Cape. The view of the dam is fantastic. Thank you very much, Sarian. My only "criticism" is the absence of a bottle of foam bath. I think it would have done wonders for my tired body.
The reception was very good, my car was covered and locked, the room was very clean and well laid out, my view of the dam was beautiful. The bed's mattress was still wonderfully firm and straight so we could sleep well.
We really enjoyed our stay at View Lodge. Value for money. Very neat! Breakfast is additionally available. Very nice with a nice view from the dining room. It was truly a pleasure to stay there.
Wonderful place to stay.
Neat and affordable accommodation. Lots of insightful info about Gariepdam and surrounds.
Rest and peace for a tired body!
Excellent value for this beautifully clean, well appointed accommodation. Attention given to detail and the stunning view amazed us!
I can definitely recommend View Lodge. Clean and neat unit, inside and out. Wonderful view of the Gariepdam. We were warmly welcomed by the owners. Excellent service.
The unit had lovely fresh linen/bedding. Provision is made for all weather conditions through air conditioning and electric blankets. Rooms have lovely built-in wardrobes for those who want to stay here for a few days. Upper floor, with sitting area and kitchenette, is well furnished and has a beautiful view. Attention is paid to detail, which makes one's stay very pleasant.
Very tidy with everything you need.
See the stars.
Clean room with working air conditioner, host very pleasant and always available, great breakfast, safe parking. Will be back for sure.
The room is very neat and the service is very good. View Lodge is definitely recommended.
Very neat, clean accommodation. Well-appointed, safe and beautiful view of the dam.
Hostess not only offered us a discount, but accommodated us in a spacious and quiet room. Room was semi-self-catering with a microwave and a fridge. Area very quiet. Safe. Stylish. Organized, for example: There was a separate container in which to place used cutlery. Hostess went out of her way to make us feel at home. Room neat and clean, and bed and bedding were excellent. "Amenities" available, as well as bottled water. Have used this guest house before, and will again.
Friendly and helpful reception, neat accommodation.
What a wonderful privilege and experience to be received so friendly and helpful after 7 hours on the road from Pretoria! Everything was fine and ready for our stay. Efforts were made so that we could have a barbecue in the evening and enjoy our stay before crawling in for a good night's rest in a quiet and beautiful environment. Will definitely stop there again on the way to the Cape!
Very neat and clean. Beautiful view, friendly and good service.
Convenient, comfortable, extremely neat accommodation. We stayed halfway between George and Durban. Wish we could have stayed longer. Will definitely stay here again.
Warmly welcomed, were shown to our room - braai facilities (Weber) were there. Accommodation fully and neatly equipped. We were moved to a larger unit, but were already notified the previous day. Thank you, the stay was short, yet wonderful. What a disappointment we weren't able to participate in the Argus!
Beautiful view of the Gariep dam. The room was very neat and comfortable with nice personal touches that didn't go unnoticed! The sunrise is absolutely amazing and the hostess is friendly and welcoming. I loved this place - it's a nice stopover on route to or from Cape Province.
Very cute place, well furnished and very clean.
The room was ready, neat, beautiful and clean. The people were friendly and there was coffee, tea and rusks in the kitchen. Neat bathroom with a bath and a shower.
Enjoyed the stay and the view.
See stars.
See star rating.
Excellent, welcomed by owner, clean, neat, professional and stunning.
Accommodation was sufficient and well furnished. Everything you would need were there. Secure parking available which is quite important for us.
Very comfortable and nice view of the dam.
Good location and friendly service.
Had a great time at View Lodge. We were received very kindly and a lot of effort was made to make us feel comfortable. Outstanding service and a particularly beautiful view of the dam. Definitely recommend it.
We will definitely want to stay there again, very clean and neat. Can really recommend the place.
Pleasant experience in a beautiful, tidy room. Very pleasantly received. The owner is hospitable and friendly. Can definitely recommend this lodge.
Location with noise across the road big problem.
Very clean and neat. Friendly hostess and value for money. The rooms are small, but for overnight accommodation it is all one needs. Thank you for your hospitality!
Great accommodation, welcomed so nicely. Very enjoyable stay.
Everything was extremely neat. All the guest's needs have been thought of.
Stayed overnight on the way to PE, the facilities were good and there was everything one would need.
The service was excellent. They check to see if you need anything and suggest places to grab a bite. The breakfast was divine. Will definitely stay there again when I go to PE. Again, thank you for everything!
Our experience at View Lodge was really excellent. We got a warm reception. The room is spacious and convenient. The breakfast was lovely and on Sunday our hostess made something special for us to help us celebrate our anniversary. Would definitely stay here again.
Received a kind welcoming. Place clean and breakfast delicious. Would definitely stay over again.
We were 4 adults so sharing one bathroom was a bit of a challenge but otherwise the place was ideal for a stopover and the breakfast was great.
Breathtaking view. Clean and tidy.
Will book again anytime!
Great surprise! Had a nice stay, too bad it was so short. Will definitely go back!
I can recommend View Lodge to anyone. It's really a beautiful place with a beautiful view.
Beautiful views and excellent customer service. I will recommend it to anyone, even if you only stay there for one night, it's worth it!
Wow! Will definitely make use of this lodge again! Stunning view! What you see is what you get, in and outside! Great hospitality and amazing sunset and sunrise views. Air-conditioning amazing and overall just a stunning place!
Our hostess was very friendly, professional and concerned. The unit was very luxurious, neat and clean and has everything you need as well as a few "luxuries". Kitchen is also well equipped with the essential items. It was a really lovely break. The view from the balcony is incredibly beautiful, it takes your breath away. Will definitely use you again.
View Lodge lives up to its name in providing a fantastic view of the dam. We found it a good place to overnight on our way back from the Cape as well as a place of interest which no doubt can be considered to be a tourist attraction of note. We found the View Lodge accommodation to be adequate, clean, neat, with friendly people. We also enjoyed a hearty inexpensive breakfast.
Just a suggestion that they heat the plates from the breakfast. By the time breakfast was served, the food was cold. Receptionist was very friendly, we immediately felt at home. View Lodge reflects love and homeliness.
We just slept over. It's very clean and tidy. Very nice that there is a small kitchen to heat something up and the small bar fridge for things to be kept cold. Had a lot of leaks. And the king-size bed had also been very leaky.
Friendly reception, neat and clean facilities and a beautiful environment with nice views over the dam.
Beautiful place. Unbelievably beautiful view over the Gariep Dam. Unit was clean and tidy! Will definitely stay there again in the future!
Would also have liked to have had dinner there useful and earlier breakfast.
Sarian and Geoff made us comfortable from the start. The view and location are beautiful. The rooms are exquisite with attention given to the smallest detail. Breakfast was delicious with warm and professional service.
Beautiful rooms. Very well furnished. Had a wonderful stay.
We slept great. Don't think it works for self care though. Room was very neat and bed comfortable. We will definitely stay over again.
The lodge was neat, the owner was friendly and the area was good. Would definitely go again.
Make sure you arrive in daylight to really appreciate the beautiful view!
Had a good night's rest in a peaceful area after a long day on the road.
Friendly reception. The rooms are tastefully and practically equipped.
Thank you, the accommodation was great and we enjoyed it. We were 2 married couples on our way to the Cape. We spent the night in room 4 on the top floor and room 6 on the ground floor which opened onto the pool (so-called honeymoon suite). It was very hot and we used the pool. What I found very annoying was after about 15 mins in the water two teenagers on bikes who were not guests were allowed in to use the pool! Which then made us decide not to swim any further. They spent the rest of the afternoon there! Privacy of the room was also gone with it. Thank you very much for great service from LekkeSlaap. The first time I used you guys! Will definitely do it again now that I am retired after 40 years in the travel industry. May 2017 be a wonderful year for you.
Attention to detail, clean and everything you would expect right there and on its place!
A very comfortable overnight place that we will definitely use again. It offers good value for money in a peaceful and safe environment. Ensure a better calling than staying in Colesberg.
Thank you, we had a great stay.
Our unit was lovely big with a beautiful view of the dam from the top floor. There is air conditioning to keep you cool and the unit is lovely clean. The living room furniture could have been a bit more comfortable and modern to match the rest of the unit. The prices on the website are not what you are quoted. Our first quote was double the amount advertised and when I complained it was reduced; but was still R300 higher than advertised. It's not really value for money, especially considering the location.
A lovely place to rest after a day's travel. Beautiful view, clean and tidy environment and very friendly and helpful service. I will definitely stop here again.
We had a wonderful overnight stay on the way back from the Cape. Sariaan is a very friendly hostess. Beautiful view of the dam! Room upstairs also lacks air con, was very hot in December. Very neat place.
Safe and neat.
View Lodge is a neat place, well laid out with secure parking close to the residence.
Very helpful, hospitable and accommodating.
We will be back. We were pleasantly surprised with the accommodation.
This was our first visit to the Gariep Dam. I was surprised and our accommodation was great. Nice view of the dam.
View Lodge is very neat and the location is good. Beautiful view of the dam!
It was wonderful to be able to spend the night here. We were a bit early, but the hostess let us check in without any trouble. The breakfast is delicious! Will definitely come back again, if only for the mattress that was on our bed!
One of the best guesthouses in South Africa. I am a specialist in guest houses and have more than 140 guest houses as my clients in the RSA and know what I'm talking about.
View Lodge deserves 5 stars for sure.
Tha stay was fantastic and the view was wonderful. The hospitality was outstanding.
Beautiful place. Tidy. Would just like to stay longer. Very minimalistic and tasteful. The white curtains and linen were a 100% for us. Very sparkling hostess who makes you feel right at home. The breakfast was delicious and we couldn't even eat half of what she served. The secure parking allowed us to leave the luggage on the vehicle. You are a little Sarian! We recommend your View Lodge as far as we go.
We were received very kindly. The unit was beautiful, clean and very comfortable. We slept very well. Breakfast the next morning was very tasty and well presented.
The view is breathtaking, it felt like we were by the sea and not by a dam. The unit is wonderfully equipped and very beautiful. We were treated very kindly and our hostess was very helpful.
We were received very kindly. The room unit was beautiful! It's very neat and clean. The hostess is friendly and very helpful. Good breakfast was offered. The view was breathtaking.
Very clean, safe accommodation.
See rating.
We chose View Lodge for a one night stopover on our way back to Cape Town and would definitely recommend it as a choice for accommodation. The place is equipped with everything one needs for one night, or even more. Comfortable and clean and good location with a beautiful view of the dam. I really enjoyed the filter coffee! If I could suggest one thing it would be to place the television at eye level instead, as being high up on the wall reduces one's vision as well as causing discomfort in the neck. The breakfast (optional) the next morning at a reasonable price was delicious and good energy for the long road ahead. We will definitely use View Lodge again.
We would definitely recommend View Lodge to everyone! They went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible and accommodate us with small children. Refreshing, neat and clean. The unit was comfortable and the service good. Thank you very much!
The hostess was very helpful and the premises are very safe.
The unit is fully equipped, very tidy and the breakfast was good.
Good value for money. Nice environment!
