593 guests' feedbackSecond time staying. Will return! Well organised.
Nice stay and very tidy. Has a nice view of the dam.
Very clean and well appointed accommodation. Has everything needed for self-help.
Amazing view and relaxing.
Our second visit to Gariepview. Exceeds our expectation.
We had a great stay! The honeymoon suite's space takes one's breath away! The view over the dam is unbeatable. The unit is very luxuriously finished and literally everything needed to make your stay comfortable is there. This is definitely not just a convenient stopover. We will stay longer next time!
We had a very nice overnight stay. The owner was kind enough to move our date of stay when unforeseen events occurred.
Very nice stay in a neat, comfortable unit with a beautiful view.
Very nice. Just needed more light in the kitchen as some bulbs were blown or non-existent.
Location very nice. Everything that is needed.
We had no problems! Very nice place, we had the honeymoon suite.
As usual, the units are beautiful, clean, tidy and comfortable. This is our only remaining place between the Cape and Gauteng. You and the owner are very friendly and helpful. 10 out of 10 for Gariepview.
It was a pleasant stay with a stunning view of the dam with everything one needed.
Wow! Wish we could have stayed here longer! Everything was perfect, thank you very much.
Thank you very much for a lovely overnight stay.
Small, but comfortable. Centrally located with a nice view.
Excellent stay.
Comfortable for one night. Very clean and safe. The view is picturesque. Wintertime room a bit cold, but there was an aircon that warmed the room. Would 100% stay there again.
Very nicely decorated place that is sufficient for an evening's ear soap.
My 1st time and it was very nice.
Neat overnight accommodation.
Great overnight place. We stayed in unit 3. There was no view of the dam, but the view of the other units over the dam is beautiful!
It was quiet and peaceful,I unfortunately was only there for one night while travelling up to Gauteng.
It was truly a wonderful experience!
Lovely place to sleep. We had a great time and the view over the Gariep is very beautiful. The smart TV is great too.
As always, wonderfully peaceful and quiet with a very nice view from the private unit as well as the no. 4 unit.
Great location with a fantastic view of the pond, especially at sunrise! The private suite is very very spacious. Only know your story when you drive up and down the steep ramp!
See stars.
Lovely clean tidy accommodation. Fantastic stopover for the road between the Cape and Gauteng! Host very helpful!
As in the past - pleasant and convenient.
It was much more than we expected!
Spacious and luxurious apartment with a beautiful view of the Gariep Dam. Will definitely use the apartment again. Good communication from Heincke.
Great place to sleep over.
Everything was off the books and the overnight stay was excellent.
It was very nice to sleep over there for a few days.
Quiet, tidy place with a beautiful view.
We only stayed one night there and were impressed with the neat unit. Beautiful view of the dam. Driveway is very steep and some of the other guests had difficulty driving up it. Safe parking and quiet surroundings. The fridge in the unit was very small (smaller than a bar fridge) and not very cold. The fact that it has no freezer compartment is inconvenient as we had to travel further with hot food and even hotter ice packs.
The room was clean. The room had everything a traveler would want in a self-catering unit. I think the price was very fair and the instructions the owner sent were enough to clear any doubts. We travel a lot and the accommodation at Gariepview is definitely a place we would recommend. Very close to good restaurants.
Wonderful view. With a nice restaurant walking distance.
Nice place, very clean and slept well.
Very nice area, and the accommodation is really something special. The room has everything you need, a nice big bed, air conditioning, DSTV, and of course a very nice view of the dam. Will stay here again for sure. Thank you very much.
Beautiful place with a nice view of the dam.
Great place to sleep. Good mattress. Quiet and clean with a nice view. Thank you guys! Will definitely stay here again.
Thank you very much, everything was perfect, beautiful view. Clean and tidy.
Super neat, clean, modern and the most beautiful view of the dam. Everything was perfect, thank you. We will definitely stay there again.
Beautiful view over the dam with the most beautiful sunrise.
See stars.
Very neat unit (3).
Yes, very nice, thank you. No complaints.
We were looking for an overnight stop while travelling. Gariepview comfortably filled all our needs.
Great comfort in beautiful surroundings.
Incredibly delicious! Clean, practical, just the necessary interaction with owners, amazing view, especially sunset.
Very tidy, comfortably furnished, beautiful view and value for money. A place I will definitely book again.
Great stay. Very nice stay.
Very nice. The most beautiful view.
It was truly lovely to stay at Gariepview. Incredible view of the dam, very neat, spacious and extremely comfortable! Will definitely recommend Gariepview to anyone traveling that way.
Neat and clean. Friendly staff who are very helpful. Would definitely recommend! Wonder why there are no curtains in front of the windows. Feel exposed when you sleep in the private suite.
The stay was very nice - perfect location, very nice view of the dam.
Wonderful view, clean apartment and great spot.
Very nice stay in clean and tidy accommodation.
Great, brand new accommodation with a great, firm mattress. The best sunrise in SA!
Incredibly delicious. Only regret we could not stay longer.
We had a very nice stay.
Very nice stay. Clean, new and tidy.
Comfortable place to stay. Value for money.
Delicious! Perhaps a gate that should not be unlocked.
Very well furnished and equipped. Great overnight accommodation.
We stayed in the Private Suite. Got there dark but a beautiful view greeted us the next morning. The suite is very spacious, modern and well equipped. There are no curtains in front of all the windows and sliding door, so not as dark as one would like for sleeping. Otherwise it met our needs.
We received very complete directions and information from the owner. This is a very spacious unit with a fantastic view. Will stay here again.
Was ideal for our overnight needs.
We unfortunately only spent one night there, but enjoyed it immensely. The rooms were incredibly beautiful and luxurious with the most beautiful view over the dam.
Gariepview was very pleasant! As an overnight stop it was ideal. Enjoyed the late afternoon sunset at the lookout point near the dam wall. Would recommend Gariepview to anyone.
We had a great stay, everything is clean, tidy and luxurious and a very nice view of Gariep Dam.
Excellent overnight stay. Shower not available. Difficult bathing for the elderly.
Beautiful spacious accommodation!
Beautiful view of pond. Convenient and safe. Great service, thank you very much!
It was very convenient.
Very neat, modern, comfortable overnight accommodation with the most beautiful view over the dam!
Quiet, clean, safe.
Nice and huge place, very steep driveway, stunning views.
It was a beautiful view and very safe. Very neat clean place. Stay there again. Perfect stop on the way to Cape Town, very close to the N1.
Nice stay, but the beds feel like sleeping on a board. Mattress of bed very hard.
Great place, only marketing is difficult for older people.
Nice quiet area and slept well.
I booked a self-catering place as I was transporting some food and assumed there was a fridge. The fridge was smaller than a hard cooler box and had no ice compartment. The bed was too hard for me.
Very neat and spacious suite with a lovely view. However, there are a few light bulbs missing in the kitchen and the entrance gate from the road does not close.
Delicious. Thank you. Please note up for guests who disrespect other guests.
Very nice and nice stay.
Great overnight facilities and we would stay there again. Security will be better once the outer boundary wall is completed.
Very nice stay. The view is exceptional and would stay there again.
Although we did not meet our host face to face, the host provided appreciated and friendly telephone assistance when we arrived. Thank you very much! The unit is neatly and stylishly equipped, although the fridge offers very limited space for cold products that need cooling on the long journey. Shifting power without standby power - especially when arriving in the dark - is also somewhat frustrating, but the beautiful view when the day breaks might make everything a little more bearable!
Plekkie is very neat and clean and modern with a very nice lake view.
Was very peaceful with beautiful views. The second bed is low but surprisingly comfortable to get up from.
We enjoyed it, thank you.
Gariepview is a peaceful accommodation option with a beautiful view of the Gariep Dam. We had a nice stay here. One's privacy is unfortunately limited because the large windows are not yet fully covered with curtains, especially the one window to the left of the bed.
Very relaxing. Would love to spend more than one night in the future.
Thank you very much! We had a really nice stay. The unit had everything we needed.
Safe, very tidy accommodation. Host very helpful. Great place to eat a few minutes away.
Beautiful place with ideal location and amazing view. Would prefer a working entrance gate. Could not find WiFi.
Problem with hot water at bathroom. Nothing at sink. Bath does not drain and there was still water in it when we got there.
The venue was further from the dam than expected. Accommodation was great, comfortable bed and lovely shower. No plug for the kitchen, which is a small thing. Everything we needed was there.
The unit was very neat and clean with everything needed. We had a semi dam view which was adequate. The only problem was the hot water, we struggled with showering in hot water, the water gets cold quickly and in the morning there was no hot water.
It was a good halfway point between Cape Town and Durban, lovely sunrise, lovely sunset.
I loved the fact that the room overlooks the dam as well as easy access to the room. However, I don't think the linen was newly washed and clean as it appears to have been slept on before. I would also suggest a small ever fresh milk for the fridge. Other than that, we were happy with our stay.
Really nice view of the dam.
The housing meets top standards, is clean, tidy, comfortable and well located. We will use it again in the future.
Everything was neat and clean. We had a very nice stay. I was only under the impression that the unit had a shower. Lovely bathroom. I also missed a hair dryer. Although it is a beautiful and comfortable place, I was quite worried about our car. I understand there are currently workers on site and both gates are not very secure.
Beautiful, clean, modern. Fridge is very small. Good quality mattress, but the base is built (making sleep uncomfortable/hard).
The unit was comfortable and had everything we required. Parking was safe and the view beautiful.
It was delicious, beautiful view.
Beautiful view of Gariep Dam, quality linen, close to several places where meals can be enjoyed. Air conditioner was a lifesaver during my visit (37°C). Good communication by the owner.
Neat and modern place with a beautiful view. Very well located. There is no garden, so only suitable for 1x overnight stay. I never complain, but you wouldn't know if I didn't mention it either. By the bed is a glass door. The upstairs unit had the light on through the night which brightly lit our room all night. It's like trying to sleep with the lights on. On the other side of the bed is the door that opens with a wave of the hand in front of an ultraviolet light. The light bothered us all evening, because if you put something in front of it, the door opens. Did no one think of that? We slept badly, despite the beautiful place. It is clear that the owners did not stay in the place themselves.
Yes, it was pleasant.
Quiet overnight stay, everything tidy and what you need for an overnight stay after a long drive, easy to find a place and lovely view of the dam.
Our stay at Gariepview was pleasant.
Mattresses are terribly hard and curtains need replacing. Shower was not cleaned well.
It is a bit off the freeway and you can hear other guests coming and going. Fridge and electric kettle not working but there was a kettle for the gas stove. Ok for a night but wouldn't stay longer.
The view is nice, but unfortunately both beds were incredibly hard.
Everything you need, stovetop, microwave, refrigerator, and sink in the unit. It's very neat and well laid out.
There are no curtains everywhere, which makes the room very light at night, as well as less private. Presumably they are still busy with painting and renovation outside. The entrance gate does not lock and must be opened and closed manually. Prompt, friendly service. Check-in and check-out is very convenient. Tidy. Beautiful view - If the above points were not here, it would be 5*!
Not recommended for day visit. Very hot area. Pool or hot tub would be an option. Air conditioning is not sufficient for a large open room. View is a bonus.
Gariepview No. 3 is very nice, neat and clean. The bed and bedding are perfect. Upon arrival we were nicely helped with parking and information about the unit. Good communication from the host.
The unit was very neat and clean. We had a little trouble getting the hot water right with the gas geyser, but managed later.
Very nice stay. Will suggest bedside tables and bed camp.
The place is beautiful and luxurious, beautiful view, neat, clean and well furnished. Have no complaints there. I would suggest maybe considering a hair dryer for the units, for the people who don't have one in their overnight bag. Would also strongly recommend and suggest that you might look into a "memory foam mattress topper" to put on the beds. The only downside for me about the place was that the beds are VERY hard and I slept really uncomfortably and very little. Such a topper on the hard mattress will make a difference for sure.
Comfortable and relaxing.
View over the dam is beautiful.
We were disappointed that many of the lights did not have bulbs in them. Would also prefer that all the windows have curtains as the outside lights cannot be turned off, and it is disturbing if you want to sleep.
Had a great stay.
Unit was very tidy with everything you need. However, there was a problem with the sliding door and it wouldn't open or close at all without lifting off the track. We had to sleep with an open door because we couldn't lock the door. No one to help!
Only stayed a single night.
Stay was pleasant. Well received. Fridge is too small and could not be set colder.
Very nice stay, only the light coming in through one door made it difficult to sleep. Nice clean and tidy.
Gariepview has a very nice view and is suitable for 1 night's stay. Everything was clean and tidy and the flashlight available for loadshedding was a very good idea. The main gate does not lock at all and anyone can just push the gate open and enter the property. The mattresses were rock hard and it felt like sleeping on a concrete block. Curtains don't keep the sun out. One curtain also had a tear. The glass shower tray was broken and you had to pack on the floor.
Reception was not up to standard. Place not suitable for senior citizens. No shower, no grab rails. Too risky to bath, no non-slip mats.
Rooms were clean and tidy. Would have been great to be able to talk in person but the phone call helped. Magnetic locking mechanisms work well on sliding doors, except that they interfere with locking the door with the key (Unit 2). Nice view of Gariep Dam. Security gate for access to the yard does not work and has to be opened manually, which is a security risk.
We were not there for long as we arrived in the dark and left just after it became light, so only enjoyed the view for a short while. It was clean but super cold, and I felt a bit uncomfortable with the fact that the one window didn't have curtains and it was right next to our bed! I also found the painting of the spider eye a bit creepy. Overall, it was a comfortable stay with a wonderful view to wake up to.
Gariepview is a very nice place to stay for an overnight stay. We did experience problems with workers coming into the room before the check-out time as if they were unaware that the room was booked. It was disturbing. You also have to check out very early (09:00).
Good place to stay evernight on our way to Gauteng. Beautiful sunrise across the dam.
Towels were a turn off, and the duvet wasn't clean.
Gariepview has an excellent view, clean and tidy, but I would only make one recommendation for a better sleeping place in the second bedroom if you have booked for 4 adults. A sofa bed that is almost 10cm off the ground doesn't really work comfortably. Two single beds would have worked much better. For small young children it might work, but not at all for elderly adults. It needs urgent attention.
Very nice stay, thank you.
No hot water to bath in after 9 hours travel. No TV usage as it requires owner's codes to use or view any channels. One coffee sachet provided for 2 people, 4 Cremora sachets and 3 sugars! Suggestion: Remove dirty carpet with visible urine drops in front of toilet from bathroom.
It was not what we expected. The pictures showed braai facilities, so we bought food and meat that we could not braai. Guests should be informed that the room they are getting does not have a view or braai facilities.
Clean tidy accommodation. However, it had just been very cold. Would suggest that they put electric blankets or at least winter sheets on the bed. Drive in is very steep, won't be able to get up with a stroller.
Our water was cold. The owner said they test it every day. If so, how do you miss an empty gas bottle?
Gariepview is a gorgeous unit with the most beautiful views. Unfortunately no mention was made of an incredibly steep driveway and I do feel this should be mentioned. My little car couldn't make it up the driveway. Fortunately there was a young chap there who was able to show us a back entrance over a very rocky and gravel road - more suited to a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Secondly, perhaps we have just been spoilt but we are accustomed to milk and rusks. There was ellis brown coffee creamer but that's just not the same is it?. In the main bedroom area only 2 sides had curtains. There was a big window on the left hand side of the bed without any curtains. With the result that no-one was sleeping past sunrise. In the bathroom there are industrial type soap dispensers which just did not fit with the overall aesthetics of the unit. Every time I washed my hands I felt I was in a roadside toilet. In the TV area the only seating are stiff chairs, which were impossible to relax in, around a table and a double bed, but in the main bedroom area there are two couches - I would have thought the other way around would be better. The outside braai area has a marble working surface on a pedestal. The marble had a crack right through it. I took a photograph and sent it to the host not wanting him to think it was us who had broken it. He said that he was aware of it. All of these are relatively small things but my largest concern is the video camera focussed on the living areas of the property. I feel that this is totally unacceptable and extremely invasive. If the host does not trust his guests then he should stop hosting. Needless to say we will not be staying there again.
Very disappointed, maintenance is not done on this unit. The couches are broken and completely worn out. Half of the lights are either broken or missing bulbs. Some windows do not have curtains, especially right next to the bed. Does not cause proper night rest as the security lights shine in. Kitchen is well equipped and the view is particularly beautiful.
It was not a "Lekkeslaap" experience at all. The 2nd Room was a nightmare. I dont know what was the so called mattress on the bed because it doesn't look like a mattress and it was so hard we couldn't sleep on it. The carpet in the Room is a tripping hazard as it was curled on the corners. Each and every single bedding item on the bed had bleach marks on them. And the brown table does not look good at all. We also had a very bad experience while showering. The water will become extremely hot or extremely cold without any adjustments whatsoever. On a positive note the Main bedroom and Kitchen is beautiful. It was our second visit to Gariepview and were extremely disappointed.
- No shower in Accomodation 1 and not informed of such in advertising material. Unable to bath as water supply into bath was erratic and inconsisrent temperature. Blue door security light shines directly to bed and severely disturbs sleeping. Mat in bathroom was soiled. Current building operations extremely untidy and shows unpleasant surroundings. Lace curtains in main room and bathroom had noticible tears.
The unit was modern. We entered the property through a construction site. Dirt marks on the wall and bed linen.
The room was completely different from what we saw on the website. The mattresses were rock hard. The second bed is on the floor, the kitchen is tiny and the air conditioning didn't help much. The pictures we got were of the apartment on the second floor.
Neat, comfortable and well-appointed unit in a beautiful location.
The unit inside is very spacious and luxurious. Everything we needed for a night's stay. The king size bed with a good quality mattress was fantastic!
Very nice stay. Quiet with a very nice view.
It was really excellent.
We enjoyed it very much. The view was beautiful. The stay was excellent.
It was picture perfect. Was very nice to be able to look over the pond from the room.
The suite has the most beautiful views. Everything was neat, modern and comfortable. Aircon was very welcome on the hot days!
Lovely overnight stay with a comfortable bed and spacious, clean room and bathroom. No clutter, no unnecessary extra cushions on the bed, and everything you need for a day or two, or even longer. We will definitely stay here again.
Very nice stay. Unfortunately only one night. Will want to stay longer next time.
Always available to assist. Friendliness.
Wash clean, neat and easy.
Had a great stay. Clean and comfortable. I would recommend putting a curtain or blind at the window next to the bed, as people from the stop street at the hotel and street can see into your bedroom, especially the main honeymoon suite. But otherwise, what a beautiful place. Very nice.
The most beautiful view.
The unit was excellently equipped, with everything needed. The incredible view of the dam creates a tranquility that every weary traveler needs. Excellent halfway house between Gauteng and the Cape.
Did not get any WiFi code. Only got someone to give it to us the next day. It was a bit disappointing.
Everything was fine for us.
The most beautiful view over Gariep.
We really enjoyed our stay. It is a beautiful place with a nice view of the dam. It is large and furnished with everything you need. Everything is very luxurious and super beautiful. It is nice and convenient. Thank you very much, we will definitely stay there again.
This is why I do not do surveys. Why is it required to fill in this?
Very large and spacious, well equipped, fantastic view over the pond and the highlight was the sunrise!
Very nice view of the dam. Close to the Stijl Hotel.
It was very nice.
One of the most priceless moments was the sunrise. Thank you Gariepview for an amazing experience.
The house is very nice and tidy and access to your unit is easy via your own sliding door. View over the dam is breathtaking, especially at sunset and sunrise.
We only stayed overnight, but the place was clean, quiet and comfortable. Will stay there again.
The host was very friendly and responded immediately when the plugs tripped in the evening. The room was well equipped and very clean. Gariepview is great value for money, and I would highly recommend this establishment.
Beautiful dam view and everything in the apartment was good quality.
Gariepview is a very neat, modern and perfectly located place. Heincke's communication and information about the place had been better than expected. Top notch hospitality. We will definitely want to stay there again in the future.
Only negative is the outside of the B&B needs some maintenance.
Beautiful location with excellent marketing photos. One of the few places where the photos capture the atmosphere of the accommodation. I would go back anytime. Nice restaurants for every taste. Sufficient grocery store and good roads. Really a must for someone who just wants to rest!
The dam and dam wall is a good attraction.
Very nice stay.
Neat, clean accommodation. Good customer service. Nice stay!
Excellent place to get away from the busy city with your husband/wife. Fresh air, silence and a beautiful view do the soul good.
Cute place. Nice central.
Wonderful place, clean and tidy.
The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean. Keep up this standard and you will remain successful.
Book, without doubt for a nice overnight stay. Gas geyser and stove which makes load shedding irrelevant.
Clean, well appointed, good value for money.
Tidy and clean. Relaxing and peaceful. Beautiful scenery. Safe.
Received very good service. Will drop by again.
Would have preferred a shower instead of a bath but is not a complaint.
See stars.
This is the most beautiful place, so clean and comfortable, easily found. It was just wow.
I was last there when the yachts were lying on their sides. So it was nice to be able to see the dam so full and the beautiful view was great️.
Awesome venue with stunning views.
Really good service, the place is beautiful and very comfortable and has everything for a lovely holiday, great views of the dam, felt safe.
Beautiful view over the Gariep Dam.
The hosts were friendly and the accommodation was clean, cosy and welcoming. It had all the basic necessities and the view was absolutely stunning. I would definitely recommend it to anyone going that way.
The view from our room was beautiful and the host was incredibly friendly and helpful. The place is definitely a must if you want to spend the night in the area!
For sure this will be our new overstay when travelling to JHB. In love with the place.
Modern, comfortable and very clean and tidy. Better view of the dam than expected. The check-in was very efficient. Sorry there is no support for load shedding, but it was very clearly mentioned beforehand.
This most beautiful place. Everything crisp and brand new. Lovely bed, fantastic bath and just the most beautiful view imaginable.
The view from the parking is amazing.
Everything was ready and clean, right and very well located. It was an experience to remember.
Everything worked, the bed was comfortable and it was very quiet.
Beautiful facilities and beautiful view of the dam especially at sunrise. I'll just make sure the unit I booked has a shower next time. I have been in unit 3 three times and did not pay particular attention to the facilities in unit three. my mistake Otherwise very comfortable and all amenities are great.
Very tidy and everything needed for an overnight or longer stay available.
Would recommend that they put a mattress topper on beds, for softer sleep.
Lovely unit with all you need. Clean and modern. Thank you for a lovely stay.
Lovely overnight accommodation fully equipped. Comfortable, beautiful view, clean and spacious.
We were very surprised to see that the accommodation looks exactly like photos. Very pleasant experience. Thank you very much.
Beautiful scenery. You can just sit and watch and switch off all day. Close to Forever Resorts if you want to rent a boat. Very reasonable rate.
The view. Breathtaking. The suite. spacious, well-equipped, and comfy. Directions. Spot on. Check-in. No issues. We had such a great time. will definitely visit again en route to and from Gauteng!
Everything was just like in the picture. Was very quiet and nice. Own access to braai area which was very nice. Will visit again anytime, this time we will definitely take the bigger unit. Value for money. Will recommend to my family and friends.
Professional, neat and clean.
Conveniently located, good communication and clean, tidy with a lovely view.
Well located, we could walk to the dam wall from the unit to enjoy the sunset, but it was quite a walk. The owner also allowed us to check out a little later with prior arrangements due to necessary business that we still had to complete before we took the further drive down to the Cape.
Very clean, tidy, modern facilities with some of the best appliances. Will definitely stay there for a third time. I just didn't know if there was WiFi available (my only negative comment).
I stayed in Gariep Dam because it is half way to Jhb.
Please look at the water in the shower. Alternates a lot between hot and cold by itself. Other than that, no complaints and would recommend.
Our room had a very nice view of the pond with the sunrise from our bed. Great service. Will stay there again.
The dam unit has a very nice view. The gas stove was great during load shedding.
It was breathtaking and so beautiful. The place is clean and tidy and has all the amenities. I don't regret one moment and really value for money. I will definitely visit here again and this time for a longer period. A must for everyone.
Relaxed and beautiful view.
Beautifully clean and everything we could need.
Tastefully furnished room.
Beautiful, spacious apartment! Nice view!
Private Suite is tops.
We were very comfortable for our stopover to the Eastern Cape. Very private and secure place.
It exceeded our highest expectations. Everything we needed. View breathtaking. We come again.
Neat, clean, well equipped and the view is fantastic.
Would have preferred a shower, but bath facilities were up to standard.
Facility is well located with a nice view over the dam. Everything is modern and well equipped and full DStv package.
Beautiful, clean and tidy, more than we expected.
The unit was beautiful and spotless. It is also well equipped and one could experience beautiful views of the mountain and dam. The path and parking looked intimidating at first, but then turned out to be easy and spacious. Good communication from the management also about things like load shedding.
Great overnight stay. Very neat.
Great venue - will definitely visit again. The house has everything and more you need.
Although we only stayed overnight at the accommodation, we had a great stay. The Gariepview accommodation was good. The unit was very neat and clean and well equipped. There are restaurants and a shop nearby.
The unit is clean and tidy, with all the necessary facilities for a comfortable overnight stay. The sunrise over the pond was amazing. A suggestion I can make might be a shaded bench in front of the unit to appreciate the view.
The room has a very nice view. It is very neat and comfortable.
The view is beautiful and it is nice and close to the restaurant (walking distance).
Very nice stay with a nice view over the dam. Very neat. Appreciated the large bathroom.
Everything was well cared for and clean, mattresses are perhaps a little too hard for our group, but that's just personal taste.
We enjoyed the view from the suite, beautiful! The unit was equipped with all amenities. I wouldn't mind having a kitchen like that! One recommendation: also hang a curtain on the east bedroom window: it gives more privacy and screens street lights.
We enjoy the view you have to be able to look over the Gariep dam like this. Everything on the premises is neat and clean, as is the room and bathroom. For self-catering there is everything we needed. Due to our satisfaction, we recommended Gariepview to our friends who also stayed there and they were also very satisfied with Gariepview's setup. Will definitely stay there again if we are in the area.
Very easy and good communication from the owner. The load shedding causes the door to not be locked. Possibly just a warning that the door should then be closed. Beautiful bathroom and large shower with hot water. Will definitely visit again.
We came late and left early, so nothing more to say.
See stars.
Comfortable stopover on the way to the Cape from the North or the other way around, beautiful surroundings and a nice place to walk.
Obviously the owners personal space but lacking in character. Large beautifully appointed place with stunning views but leaves one feeling somewhat lonely.
The view over the dam was beautiful.
I will definitely return.
Place is neat, clean and equipped with everything you might need away from home. We slept very well and will definitely go back again.
Had a good view of the dam.
Comfortable overnight stay halfway between Pretoria and George.
Comfortable overnight stay. Beautiful view of the dam.
Clean, efficient, comfortable.
Gariepview is perfect for a quick overnight stay to your next destination.
Nice location and friendly owners.
Only challenge was no shower or hand shower in bathroom. Very difficult for person with limited mobility to get in and out of bath. Only saw it afterwards in the description, there is only a bath.
On arrival there was no gas and was only replaced that evening after a call. Could have checked ahead of time.
Really nice place and comfortable place except for the night there it was extremely cold and also with load shedding there is no water which makes things really difficult, but overall I would go again.
A comfortable, clean, well-appointed self-catering accommodation with a wonderful view of Gariep Dam.
Good rest and sleep over. View fantastic.
See stars.
Very neat and clean. Location offers a beautiful view of the dam. Gate motor out of order so it has to be opened and closed manually which is not a problem but it doesn't lock so access to the premises is very easy which could be a security risk.
Recommended. Is very neat and clean.
Gravity unfortunately affects the water flow. Pity no WiFi, despite good mobile signal.
Water supply may be looked at during "loadshedding".
Nice view. Calm and quiet. Well located.
Loadshedding is a problem in the summer because then the air conditioner does not work.
Will stay there again when travelling between Johannesburg and Mossel Bay.
We stayed overnight, 4 in family. The house's entrance walls need painting and plants in the built plant flower beds will round off the self-catering house nicely. On the premises was a container, during the night loud noise from the container. Difficulty sleeping with the constant sound. Water pressure next morning in pipes very weak, could not shower. The interior decoration basically to nothing.
Unfortunately, safety is an issue. The outside gate to the street does not lock (the gate motor seems to be broken, and pushes open by hand). The door to the apartment is electrically locked with a code, but when the power goes out the door is open. There is a lock on the inside, but it catches so the door cannot be locked. There is also a sensor on the inside that opens with movement, and it sits right next to the curtain, so when the curtain is drawn, the door opens. This is probably not a problem, but in the time of high crime one sleeps with one eye open. Otherwise the service is excellent and the host very pleasant.
The gate to the street was not locked. Anyone could push it open and get in, that's my safety choice. Otherwise I can't complain about anything.
Warm with late afternoon sun. Unfortunately, bed felt hard for all of us and everyone slept badly.
Good, clean room, but bath with no shower is a disadvantage, especially for older people. Front gate does not lock creating possible security risk. Teabags and UHT milk sachets would be beneficial - sparse tea/coffee supplies.
Good location, security. You get what you pay for. Good comfortable bed, good quality linen.
View is amazing. The place is neat, clean and well equipped. What you see on the web is what you get. Will definitely stay there again.
Can only do one thing: to put up dark curtains for the side window.
Overall stay was good, the unit was clean. I did find the bathroom had a bit of an odour. There is an adjoining glass door to another unit which troubles me, as when I was off to bed the lights shine right through, making our room quite bright, which made it a little difficult to fall asleep. It rained consistently through the evening and night, causing the rain to overflow from the roof above onto an awning above our door, making quite a loud sound. Other than that, all was good.
It's a very nice place, but it doesn't look like the photos anymore. One bed was also broken. It is very steep for cars that are low underneath. I will not book there again. The shower's water was also cold and we got there late, so one would think that by then the water would at least be warm. After such a long time on the road, that's all you need - a good bed to sleep on. I give them about 4/10.
Will visit again. Thank you for a lovely home. Had everything we needed plus extras.
The room was neat, clean and comfortable. The braai facilities in room 1 in particular are inadequate. A pair of tongs would be nice too. The electronic gate did not work and had to be opened by hand which was very inconvenient as the entrance is very stylish. Overall, the room met our expectations.
The place was beautiful. Just a shame the purchasing power ran out during the night and there was no power from 12pm in the evening until after 7am in the morning. We couldn't really sleep, as my husband sleeps with a sleep machine. There was also an amount that we have to pay because we moved the stay by 1 night.
Gariepview is a very good, new overnight accommodation. The room is neat with a spacious bathroom and 'vintage look' red bar fridge. Eskom remains a problem. The view is very nice over the dam.
Beautiful view of the dam.
The dam is close by, make the effort and check it out.
Gariepview is ideally located with a view of the Gariep Dam. Accommodation was clean, tidy and well equipped. Would definitely recommend it.
We decided to use the place as an overnight stop to drive on the next day and it was definitely worth it. View over the dam was beautiful.
Too bad there isn't a shower in the bathroom. The tub is uncomfortable - very luxurious, but still uncomfortable.
Beautiful view of Gariep Dam from Gariepview. The unit we occupied had a sleeper couch that was not suitable for teenagers as it was very uncomfortable. The mattress on the other bed was also very hard.
Clean and tidy. Friendly welcome.
Unit was clean, bed was very hard.
During load shedding the hot water was freezing, which I understand, but a few hours later it was still not hot. Taking a cold bath in winter is not a pleasant experience.
Dam view was very nice. Beds/mattresses extremely hard.
Wi-Fi was out of data. In the two days I stayed, it was not recharged, so no wi-fi. The gate needs you to get out of the car to open and close it, the least could be to have the motorised gate with keypad accessible from the driver's window and when going out it uses the sensors to open the gate.
We enjoyed it very much. Thank you.
See stars.
Was there for an overnighter. The bed was rather hard. But the place was clean and the view outside was lovely. Fridge made a lot of noise.
We were driving back from Cape Town to Johannesburg and broke the trip up by having a stopover at Gariepview so we could have a nice rest and enjoy the scenery. The place was clean and as expected and we had no issues, the instructions upon arrival were clear and concise.
Had a great time. Quiet and neat. Will go back again.
Shower needs a scrub. No bedside lamps. 1 rechargeable lamp. If you open the curtains, the parking lot is directly in front of the sliding door and window. No privacy. Nice view of pond. Unit I booked looked different.
Sufficient overnight accommodation.
Very nice and neat.
The security system does not work if there is loadshedding. It's an electronic lock on the room's door that turns off automatically when the load is off. Room can lock from inside but not from outside. Other than that we had a wonderful stay.
The ideal overnight stop on the N1.
Nice view and clean.
All home requirements in one room.
Everything available that is needed. Very nice view.
Altogether, a pleasant overnight experience.
I towed a 4 meter trailer which could not be accommodated on site. Had to park the vehicle and trailer at the Hotel and request security to keep an eye overnight. No issues with vehicle safety, but was not impressed at all. The web page should clearly indicate no access for vehicles with trailers to prospective guests!
Unit neat. Beautiful view. Outside seating area right under a sky rail. Broken fence next to unit. Can't enjoy silence! Paving not finished. Fry half done.
Blanket was not washed, and there was no sugar with the coffee. Make sure you bring your own. Otherwise, the rest is very comfortable, but not worth the price.
The ramp is very steep, not easy access. There is no office, there was no one to receive you, personal contact only WA or phone. Probably modern way. The units are keyless which works very well. No WIFI code provided.
We accepted that it would only have a partial view of the dam. The overall location is really good for the front units but not so for this unit which is a 'back room', specified as a partial view but the problem was two airconditioning units ran intermittently throughout the night, one directly over the front door (partial view) and the only other 2 windows overlooked the plumbing and geysers for upstairs.
Rooms were good. The external area needs a lot of work (but it is a work in progress). I stayed for 2 nights, and the room was not serviced. Not sure why?
It's a charming place for me and I would definitely recommend it.
The place is small, but very neat. However, the small soft drink fridge (without a freezer unit) is not sufficient for travelers who require freezing facilities. As a halfway stop, you want to keep your freezer frozen, refreeze your freezer blocks and just get everything extra cold for the road ahead. The small fridge is intended for cold drinks and is not big enough. Unnecessary space is wasted in the bathroom while the sleeping area has very little space. The space could be better utilized to house a full size refrigerator as well. However, everything is very nice and tidy, new and clean.
Very nice. Must fix gate and maybe install WiFi.
Nice view. Comfortable stay.
Of all my bookings this was the most disappointing one. The bedding was dirty, the shower could not be set cold or hot, only hot and much hotter, the shower was dirty and no undercover parking. It is very nice and new but needs attention with the above.
We had a nice stay and rested after a long journey.
We could see a beautiful sunrise over the pond in the room where we stayed. Unfortunately the rest of the stay was not up to standard. Half a soda bottle was put under the ceiling where it was leaking, the broken toilet window was taped with brown cello tape and the bedding was dirty. The shower only had 2 temperatures, boiling hot or freezing cold. The yard's gate does not lock and must be opened and closed by hand. There was coffee and tea, but it would have been nice if there was just some milk as well. The outside of the house also needs attention.
No safety and very unpleasant.
Comfortable and enough facilities for an overnight stay. All you need is a hair dryer.
Was very calm. Had a great time.
Great for big families with kids for either a halfway stop or weekend getaway.
It was very neat and clean. You get much more than what is needed for just an overnight room. Will definitely stay there again and recommend it anytime. Just a shame we couldn't stay longer to appreciate the view more.
Place was very neat and we felt like honored guests.
Well equipped and beautifully clean.
Fantastic value for money, gas braai is really an asset along with the view and comfort.
Love the key/method. Modern and comfortable. Full DStv package was a pleasant surprise.
Beautiful place with beautiful view.
I recommend Gariepview to anyone.
Fantastic views of the Gariep Dam sunrise.
A great view of Gariep Dam and the private suite is perfect.
Very new with everything provided, like microwave included.
Wonderful amenities. Would love to visit longer.
Was peaceful and we had fun. We were assisted with everything and were not rushed to check out.
Controlling the hot water in the shower requires an engineering degree, otherwise great stay.
Lovely view of the dam when we looked out at half past 6.
Will most definitely use this location's again.
Only inconvenience was that there was no shower in our room, we did not specifically ask for it. Very luxurious.
Easy self check in, clean modern and a nice view over the dam.
We were kindly welcomed by Lesley. Everything was perfectly arranged by the owner - easy access. Lovely view of the pond. The room was comfortable and very tidy.
The penthouse has beautiful views. The security is really good. Would recommend this unit.
The highlight of our stay during our slog tour. Beautiful view of the dam. Starry night, everything perfect.
Check in was easy hassle free, two double beds, kitchenette, fridge, shower, TV, air conditioning. Home is on a hill, not by the pond.
Nice suite with a beautiful view of the dam.
Although we got there late, the view was still beautiful.
Would recommend to anyone. Clean, beautiful view and would stay there again.
Would love to stay longer and see more of Gariep.
The owner was very pleasant although we did not have the opportunity to meet him.
It's a very nice and clean place and nice and private. Will definitely go there again.
If you need a splendid stay, take a short left to visit the Gariepview self-catering, in general, excellent for a vacation.
Very neat and good location.
Most beautiful view! We will definitely come back. Our expectations were exceeded! Thank you very, very much.
We were received very kindly by the staff of the guest house, and the host went out of his way to arrange extra sleeping space for our little girl at short notice. The room is stylishly and practically furnished, especially for load shedding, because the room is equipped with an electric boiler, and also a boiler for the gas stove. The view over the Gariepdam is beautiful, especially at sunrise and sunset, and the area is nice and quiet. We will definitely book Gariepview guest house again in the future for our long journeys between Mpumalanga and the Western Cape.
The stay was breathtaking. It was neat and comfortable, close to the OK minimarket and also a petrol station. Would definitely recommend it. The WiFi was stable and strong.
There is no shower, but a nice bath. Light shining all night through the glass door of the room from another room was a bit disturbing.
Very comfortable and tidy, well equipped with a breathtaking view of the Gariep Dam, we will always stay here when we go to the Cape from now on.
Our flatlet had everything we needed, as well as the most glorious view over the dam. Heincke responded quickly to any queries and made sure we were happy and comfortable. We would love to return!
The view over the dam is very beautiful. The accommodation is very neat, had a great stay.
Clean and tidy. Water was a problem during the power outage, but that's understandable.
We were on our honeymoon and this was one of our favorite places. The place is very big and luxurious with a very nice view of the dam. Wake up to the best sunrise. Was only there one night but would like to spend a weekend next time. Owner is very friendly and helpful. Just be careful with which car you go, the drive up to the place is pretty steep. Had to do it twice before I could get up. Place is very safe with very modern access.
Nice quiet environment with a nice view.
Incredibly clean, peaceful, safe. Would stay again anytime with peace of mind. Thank you very much. There wasn't a microwave and because it was raining so hard we couldn't barbecue outside, which was a challenge but we still worked around it and really enjoyed our stay. Thanks Gariepview!
Stay was excellent and peaceful.
Very comfortable and tidy guest house and friendly service.
We had a great time staying in the beautiful room! The direct communication with Heincko was great and the place far exceeded our expectations. Will always stay there in the future. Thank you very much!
Everything was very nice and clean.
Nice place. Clean and tidy. Safety and security are good. Beautiful view. Enjoyed the stay.
Very neat. However, the 9H00 check-out time is a bit early. I would have preferred 9:00 AM so that there is enough time for breakfast.
Unit 1 for two people was very neat and well equipped. Excellent location with a view over the Gariep Dam. Very good choice for overnight stay.
Absolutely fantastic. Beautiful place.
We stayed in the suite, which was equipped better than expected. It has the best view of the dam and we could watch the sunrise from our bed! A stunning and luxurious accommodation!
Probably one of the most beautiful environments in our country. Road winds through "mountain pass" to guest house from where you have the most beautiful view of Gariepdam. Luxurious accommodation, very modern, comfortable and tidy. Definitely a must to spend the night there.
Gariepview, your place is stunning, was really impressed. It's definitely a comeback for us, well done.
Very clean, modern and very nice owner. It's definitely worth it. View is breathtaking.
The owner was so helpful and the unit is so nicely furnished. The stars were so beautifully visible. Everything 100.
We were kept informed all the way by Heincke with important information regarding access to the guest house and frequent inquiries from him to hear if we were okay. Gariepview has a breathtaking view, is very luxurious and neatly furnished with every detail of the best quality. From the bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, lounge and dining room, the attention to quality was just amazing to us.
Beautiful and well-kept place to spend the night and or weekend to visit.
First time we sleep at Gariepview, a special place with a beautiful view of the pond. Will definitely stay there again.
Fantastic accommodation and view, staff friendly and helpful.
We were looking for a clean and tidy place to stay overnight not too far from the Cape, so that one can comfortably drive it in one day without rushing or getting up too early. On the other hand, it should not be too far from Potchefstroom. This was the ideal stopping place with a small OR not far from the accommodation where one could buy what was needed to use the evening. The one thing that is a shame that there are no braai facilities. Although there are many glasses and other crockery, there were no wine glasses either.
This new place with the best view and unbeatable facilities is highly recommended. They will see us again, definitely.
Very impressed with the setup. Very newly built with probably some of the best new implements and bedding. Electronic access very easy and effective. Would heartily recommend Heincke's Gariepview.
It was quick, but nice.
Nice unit for one night stay. Clean and tidy. Nice keyless system. The cutest little red fridge, but a bit small for if you take fridge food with you on your trip. The mattress was very hard, but other travelers may like that. I'm not complaining at all, it's just tips for the next traveler. I will stay there again.
Will definitely stay there again, very luxurious, comfortable, clean and safe.
We were pleasantly surprised by the location and view. The room is super clean. Has everything you need inside the unit for a very comfortable stay. Aircon to cool down and just an awesome stay.
Very tidy and everything you need for an overnight stay or a break.
We had a nice stay, the owner was very helpful. The only problem for me was the steep climb to the accommodation. And the water in the sort that was cold so quickly.
Very happy with website's approach to our needs, just as we like it, our kind of people, will definitely make use of them again.
The apartment was new, clean and very comfortable. Beautiful view over the Gariep Dam. Lovely silence.
The suite was beautiful!
Friendly, well located, spacious and beautiful.
Very well furnished, bed a bit hard. Very nice view.
New, neat, beautiful view. Good value for money.
The unit was clean and tidy and equipped with everything we needed. Directions were 100%. Check in was very easy. Beautiful view. Can recommend Gariepview anytime.
Owner friendly and helpful. Very quiet area with a beautiful view of the dam.
We see that Gariepview's grounds are still under construction, as the paving is not yet finished. The owner must build sufficient braai facilities as this is a necessity for most travelers who spend the night there.
We really enjoyed our rest stop at Gariepview. The service was very friendly and helpful. We were ladies traveling and felt very safe. The atmosphere was also peaceful and the view to the dam was beautiful. Everything was neat and clean. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to break up the long drive with an overnight stop or even to explore the area and rest for a few days.
Place is modern and the electronic code systems make everything much more convenient.
Gariepview far exceeded our expectations. Thank you very much.
Very neat and well equipped. Good value for money.
Very nice house, with a breathtaking view. Had a nice barbecue on the gas grill and slept very well that night.
Puik, skoon en modern.
Will be booking again.
Overnight rest between Cape Town and Pretoria.
We can highly recommend Gariepview. It was a wonderful experience.
Gariepview is a brand new built house with neat finishes and facilities to meet all your needs. Heincke is friendly, helpful and responds quickly to any queries. Would definitely recommend!
Beautiful (clean and very tidy) accommodation with everything you need. Heincke was a great host. Would recommend Gariepview for 1 night or more. Definitely see you again when we travel in that direction.
Will definitely be back.
Easy to book in and just as easy to book out, little admin and very tidy inside.
Will use again in passing. It was a nice experience.
Exactly as the ad listed. Will definitely recommend.
Load shedding was only problem and caused that there was no hot water.
The photos on the website do not do the view 'justice' at all. It's much more beautiful than I thought. Very neat and clean and friendly communication from the owner. Definitely a next stop of ours, if we're looking for overnight accommodation halfway between here and the Cape again.
I stopped at Gariepview on my way to Cape Town. The view is beautiful and it is so quiet and peaceful. The owner responded to my messages straight away which I really appreciated. So, I booked again on my way back from Cape Town.
The only thing that needs to be added is curtains! Was a bit strange that the windows in the room didn't have curtains - besides privacy - it lets the sun in really early. Otherwise a great place.
Wonderful view from private suite and room 4. Arrangements and check-in work great, well communicated throughout. For bigger parties - not great privacy and the sleeper couch is extremely hard, would recommend it for couples any time.
Very neat, everything you need except maybe WiFi. Love the view.
The private suite accommodation is excellent, I would however make some recommendations: A roof/pergola to be installed over the outside braai area, as it cannot be used when there is rain. During loadshedding, the electric locks on the doors open automatically, giving access to the rooms, this is a safety and security risk. Keys were fastened to the doors, so could not be taken with us when we went out. Look at making keys available when there is no power.
Good value for money. Highly recommended for an overnight stay.
The unit was neat and well equipped.
The place was neat and pleasant. Was a nice overnight stay.
Well equipped. Well located. Spacious and nicely furnished. Only negatives for us were that the TV was not well placed and the toilet did not have a door.
Everything was off the books! The beds were just a little hard, but we really enjoyed our time there. Electric gate motor just didn't work, we Gautenians are just scary.
Very comfortable and enjoyed the stay very much.
The view is as beautiful as it gets. There is nice parking, everything inside and out is beautiful and clean.
Was very nice with a very nice view.
Gariepview was perfectly suited for our 1 night on route overnight stay. Excellent and friendly service.
Exactly what one needs.
Very clean and tidy. Well equipped and it was lovely to walk down to the dam after a long day on the road. The entrance to the unit is very stylish. The bed is extremely high and hard for our taste. Shorter people, the elderly and those who struggle with hips etc may struggle to get on the bed. Only a sheer curtain in windshield and we had to hang a blanket over the rail for the outside lights. The electronic locking mechanism shines a bright blue light at night and too close to the curtain which makes the mechanism not work as intended.
Well located with a particularly good view of the dam and panoramic landscape.
Beautiful place and very peaceful. Sorry the beds are very hard.
The directions and street address were not clear and there is also another accommodation with the same name in Gariep. I would like to suggest that the curtains be replaced with "blockout" linings and that the glass door next to the bed be slightly sealed. Lights from outside shine directly through that glass.
All arrangements regarding access regarding the gate and the apartment's door were arranged by telephone. Apparently the owner does not live there himself. Everything was clean and tidy and nothing was missing.
The unit is perfect for overnight stays when traveling between the south and north via the N1. Very neatly and practically furnished, with a beautiful view over the Gariep Dam. Can recommend it for sure.
We used unit 4. The view is truly breathtakingly beautiful. The unit is nice clean and tidy, everything you need for an overnight stay or even longer. Only comment is regarding the water in the shower. One moment the water is scalding hot and the next moment ice cold without even adjusting the taps. Will definitely recommend the accommodation to others.
Can recommend the place to anyone.
It is a perfect place to sleep over. Very neat and clean, would recommend other people to sleep there. Thank you very much, we enjoyed it.
Comfortable place with everything you will need.
See summary above, it adequately describes our one night sleepover.
Was undoubtedly worth the discussion.
Neat place that just needs a little bit of finishing. We were in the honeymoon suite, there is one window in the bedroom that doesn't have a curtain at all so you have little privacy! We had a big downpour and couldn't use the braai because the facilities are not covered. However, we had a great time at De Stijl hotel which is within walking distance!
One of the best overnight stays we have ever used. Definitely value for money. Most beautiful view of Gariep. Will definitely stay here again and then spend more time resting.
Very sorry no hairdryer is provided. Apartment 2's magnetic door lock faulty, opens and closes intermittently without touching. See first photo. Also suggest 10h00 and not 09h00 as check-out time. Inconvenient.
Our reserved room was not prepared, so Heinrich put us in the honeymoon suite. It was stunning and the suite is truly fit for royalty. The view is fantastic and we immediately moved all the curtains away. Clothes were unnecessary, because passers-by cannot look into the suite. Two pensioners on honeymoon. Delicious!
A pleasant experience.
Gariepview will definitely visit us again. The best location with the most beautiful view.
Everything you need, neat, clean and a nice view of the dam. Driveway to accommodation very steep and access gate not locked.
View over the Gariepdam is breathtaking. Very peaceful environment. Would love to stay there again even for a few days.
Ons 40ste huweliksherdenking. Sal dit nie vergeet nie.
Had a wonderful sleep, although the weather didn't cooperate, it was a wonderful overnight stay at home. Host was available on WhatsApp at all times.
I struggled with the access to parking, very steep hump and because it was raining it was impossible to drive out of the hump with a buggy, for that you would need at least a 4x4. However, there was an alternative parking place for the buggy a short distance away. We struggled with the hot water in the shower which was on and off a lot and it was almost impossible to set it to the right temperature. This is typically what happens with gas geysers.
There was a gas geyser but water pressure too weak to give hot water. Also unfortunately not informed about power failure. We could have taken precautions then.
Great getaway and overnight accommodation. Modern, safe, beautiful view, high quality. Would appreciate meeting owner/manager. No one to receive us. A bit impersonal.
Clean with modern finishes. Complimentary tea and coffee could make a finishing touch.
Will use the premises again, was excellent. Would love to stay there for a weekend in the suite.
Very beautiful with a view of the dam. Clean, tidy and well equipped.
Beautiful awesome location, lovely finnish, very tasteful.
The room had everything for a comfortable break from a long journey.
Modern with a view of Gariep Dam.
View is special. Will stay there again.
Our host was efficient and friendly. We were very happy to have found the place to be as is depicted in the pictures and both the penthouse and the other room we booked were comfortable, clean and fit with every convenience.
Magnetic security door locks don't work when it's loadshedding and our door couldn't lock. One faucet is completely loose in room 2.
Refrigerator in room no. 1 is too small.
Would only recommend maybe blinds in front of kitchen window. Thin curtains are sufficient for the day, but not in the evening.
The accommodation was beautiful! One of the nicest places we have stayed at. The owners have really made the Private Suite beautiful.
Everything was perfectly arranged - access to the units with codes and all. I just missed the face of the owners, because there was no contact with them, but they were very helpful on WhatsApp.
We really enjoyed the cold afternoon and next morning. Will visit again.
Stylish, but the cleanliness of the units could be improved. Trash had not been emptied and cigarette butts and ashes from previous tenants were also visible in the trash. As a non-smoker it was quite pleasant. There were no on-site personnel available to report this. Ashtrays are provided and the No Smoking notice is very small and invisible which makes it attractive to smokers. There had definitely been smoking in our unit before. Apart from that, we will definitely go back there again.
The photos and the view from our room were a bit misleading. There were also no candles or battery lights to use during "loadshedding". Gas geyser also not working during loadshedding, had to wait for power to come on to be able to shower.
The cupboard in the room is arranged directly next to the bed and is dangerous if you get up at night and the corner of the cupboard hits you on the head. The bath's inlet pipe is too short, with the result that hot water flows in more slowly. The glass shelf above the bath is poorly installed and you can't put anything on it. No storage space in bathroom for any toiletries/bathroom necessities. Glass door lets in a lot of light from the stairwells which can be a hindrance. You should never forget your code or have it with you because if the door is locked and your phone is inside, you're in trouble!
The location of the place is incredible, with a special view of the dam. If you are willing to get out of the springs early you will be rewarded with a fantastic sunrise over the pond.
We had a nice barbecue and socializing with a stunning view.
Gariepview is a very nice new comfortable place will stay there again.
The apartment is spacious and has wonderful views.
Very neatly located near the hotel. The photo of the room was different from the room we stayed in. The upper room was in the picture. So upon arrival then you get confused. We couldn't get the gate open when we wanted to go out and it wasn't because of the wrong code we put in. It could be from the rain or the small children playing outside. Our bakkie's trunk smelled badly of smoke, we had to struggle to get up to the hump because the bakkie also had no load on it.
Gariepview's location is excellent, very good layout.
Neat accommodation and 'thumbs up' for Lester we received.
Neat, clean and quiet with a nice view.
Perfect stay, everything we needed for our three night stay. A gorgeous view and a wonderful location. Pictures of the smaller apartments facing the dam should be shown in the pictures and not with the lace curtains obstructing the view. Lester the caretaker was super friendly and helpful. We felt very safe there.
Bed was very uncomfortable. Need lamps for load shedding and sort out water pressure during load shedding.
The unit was very neat and clean. The safety was not as desired. The electric gate had to be opened manually so everyone who wanted could enter. The electric door lock unlocked if the curtain was drawn and came too close to the sensor. The electric door lock unlocks when the DStv decoder's remote control is used. I don't know if someone can unlock the door from the outside with a DStv remote control. The trash can in the kitchen does not open properly. (It was also like that in January 2022). The shower faucet's handle is loose, which makes controlling the water very difficult.
The unit is very spacious. Everything was spotless and the kitchen was fully equipped. The sofa bed in the living room is one of the most comfortable I have ever slept on. All that bothered us was that the smoke from the mobile grills of other units, as well as cigarette smoke from guests who smoke in front of their units, seriously disturbed us. Perhaps the owners could consider a fixed permanent smoking area and braai area at the back of the open area of the premises? The sunrise over the pond was very beautiful every morning.
The ramp to the parking lot is very stylish and it is difficult to drive up there with a normal vehicle with luggage. There was a double booking and guests arrived and I was in the unit for 1 more night. The hallway light at the private unit was on all night lighting up unit 3, I had a hard time sleeping Thursday night.
Very nice accommodation, spotless, modern. Problem with microwave oven was cleared with Heincke. Lots of mosquitoes! Please consider mosquito repellents. Small portable braai for front unit was lame.
See stars.
Was a beautiful overnight stop.
Very clean and comfortable. Most beautiful view. Will go back again for sure.
Beautiful place to spend the night. Clean and comfortable. Nice view of the dam. Would definitely stay there again.
Very comfy bed! Good overnight stop.
It was a good stay, nice location and safe. Pretty steep entrance to drive into. The toilet brush was filthy, the bathroom window was taped together and the air-conditioner leaked onto the platform above the bed (where I unfortunately put my phone and it was water into the phone speaker). The water (shower and bathroom sink) was very hot and would randomly get hot although it was on the cold end so make it difficult to shower without getting burnt here and there.
We would have preferred a shower rather than a bath, but otherwise everything is fine.
Neat, clean and safe.
All recommendation is a block out blind at side window for night. Had a great time. Will definitely come again.
Was sufficient for 1 night's sleep.
We had a bad experience from water flooding from the top rooms into our room and had to make plans ourselves to get it dry. No help from the managers. We also had no light at the barbeque area, luckily we had our own emergency light to help out there. Otherwise, the rooms are very good equipped and comfortable.
Will use this accommodation again.
We had a wonderful overnight stay, everything was clean and tidy. Perhaps guests can only be informed of the load shedding schedules that apply?
Very neat. Bed sleeps well and the carpet in the bathroom is so practical.
The buildings are obviously newly build and still need. A lot of work. The electricity and plumbing are not at all up to standard. Each unit should have own DB box and plugs for fridges etc. Shower needs attention as water supply is terrible.
Clean neat overnight place. Nice view.
Felt more like a hospital than a B&B. Clean, clinical, and comfortable, but for us a bit sterile and without character. The pics shown below are accurate, but that is not what we saw on the website when I booked. Nowhere to sit and enjoy the view if you booked downstairs.
The maintenance man didn't even have his own cell phone or air time to communicate with owner who was out of town - had to use my phone and air time and still problem was not resolved during our stay.
Heincke was a good host and available all the time via WhatsApp. Unit 2 is spacious, neat and clean. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need for a self-catering unit. The shower is nice and big. We did struggle a bit with the gas geyser. The bed has a firm mattress which contributed to a good night's rest. The guest house is a short distance from the cafe and hangout which is a plus for peace and safety.
The doors open with loadshedding. The maglocks do not have backup batteries. So if you are not there your unit is basically open when the power goes out.
The unit does not appear to be complete. It is missing blinds or curtains from several windows. The unit is also very hot and the small air conditioner is completely inadequate for large open rooms. Windows had to be opened for cooler air, but this could let in mosquitoes. The lights are very bright, and the unit needs a dimmer light especially in room. Just one bedside light that isn't actually a bedside lamp.
There is no provision for power generation during load shedding.
No drying cloth. TV remote connected to the electronics of the door which kept opening when remote was utilised. Window above sink gave no privacy to bedroom.
No blind in front of kitchen window, even though it's behind and not visible from the road, dispenser doesn't work properly, cold and hot just attached to wall with koki, looks bad, electronic lock works all the time with remotes and is activated all night. Paving that's half finished looks a bit dodgy, otherwise it's a lovely place for the price. It just doesn't look nice with all the gas pipes and wires hanging all around the house, looks like a temporary project that is half done and it's such a nice location and house structure, really a shame. Maybe they're not done yet. But we've been there a few times and it still looks the same. Braai place, but no facilities to braai. Grid etc. and maybe complimentary wood or something like that.
Opening and closing mechanism is affected by moving curtains. Bed very hard. No curtain at the sink makes sleeping uncomfortable.
Upon arrival we did not know how to get into the gate. Called no, after which was told that they had sent instructions throughout the day. Later saw that it was already sent on July 20. Unfortunately, I can't remember that far back. We originally booked the honeymoon suite and Gariep View informed us that it was full, but they had another place available. My reason for the specific discussion regarding the braai and stoep. So I assumed the other unit would be the same. Arrived there, no barbecue, no porch, no outdoor furniture, not even wine glasses. We were told via phone to carry the table and chairs outside (I have a shoulder injury) and walk from unit to unit asking for a glass of wine. Apparently the wine glasses were broken after the weekend and they still had to go and buy them. (It was already Thursday). No barbecue. Against the wall was a lopsided braai, which the owner told us via phone we could use. Then he informed us that it is actually just a place to stay and does not have all the facilities. But the 1st place I wanted to book has all the amenities. I don't understand well. In the kitchen drawer there is a braai tong, but there is no braai. To a beater. But it's only overnight facilities? You have a beautiful view of the pond, but no furniture or a place to view it. And no sight of the owner.
1. Outside light shines through bathroom window all night. 2. Light shines all night through the glass door next to the bathroom - across the bed. 3. Security door's round blue light shines on bed all night. 4. The sharp corner edge of a cupboard built in above the bed can injure gas when getting in and out of the bed. 5. No storage space for toiletries in bathroom. 6. Driveway to and from street entrance is horribly steep - won't be able to get up/in it with a pram or caravan. 7. No fresh milk available.
We booked the honeymoon private suite and were looking forward to view the dam from the top floor through all glass windows. We were stuffed into a room on the ground floor. Booking number 4 made no sense to me, as I don't know where the room numbers are. I called the agent who assured me that we will be booked in the honeymoon suite on the top floor. She even sent me the video of the suite. There were no occupants for the night and if the owner of agents cared at all, they could have moved us up. I will for sure never booked Gariepview again.
Room smelled badly of smoke, towels were not clean - previous people's toothpaste marks were still on one towel. Beds very uncomfortable.
Along the way informed that we have to use other unit, car gate wouldn't open 2nd time and we had to drive through field to get into site. They did tell us how to unlock the car gate, but did not follow up or make an effort to come and see for themselves. Had to unlock gate with key next morning to get out. Available coffee bags were Frisco and loose light was bulb in socket with wire to power plug.
A beautiful overnight house, a few kilometers from the N1, high on the hill with a beautiful view of the Gariep Dam. Check-in and check-out is a breeze, with codes sent to you via WA - so you can come and go as you please and open the gates and rooms with a code - no keys. The family unit has two nice and spacious rooms with its own kitchen and bathroom. The air conditioning makes the rooms nice and cool and the shower is wonderful (I always feel that if you have had a good shower, your day just feels better). Mattresses are nice and hard (maybe too hard for some people), bedding is clean and tidy and the rooms have multi-point power plugs. Rooms are white, gray and black, which creates a nice clean feel (but may feel too clinical for some). For us it was a wonderful experience on the round trip. Will stay there again!
Excellent location and view. Very neat and well equipped.
The view from the penthouse was truly spectacular. 180 degrees of glass windows.
The accommodation was very neat and clean and offers everything one needs. We felt safe and could relax after the long drive.
We liked our privacy. Codes were sent ahead of time to enter. All amenities there to cook. Refrigerator to keep my insulin cold.
Clean, luxurious, comfortable and very tidy.
It's a nice place and I don't mind coming again.
It was so easy to access the place, all communicated electronically via Whatsapp. We had a great time, it's the perfect place to spend the night on a road trip.
Gariepview is exactly what the name suggests. The view is incredibly beautiful and the unit is very spacious, neatly and comfortably furnished, with good linen and beds. Getting in and out is also very comfortable with a keyless system. The only possible negative point is that the unit has many windows but no curtains/blinds in front of all of them, so the sun wakes you up quite early if you are used to sleeping in a very dark room.
Will definitely stay there again.
The service was very good and fast. The view fantastic. The accommodation was five star quality, very neat and clean. I have already recommended the place to family and friends.
After a long, tiring drive, Gariepview is an oasis. The room is spotlessly clean and extremely comfortably furnished. The interior exudes a calmness that relaxes every weary traveler as soon as they step inside. The lovely sunrise over the dam was a bonus.
Enjoyed our stay at Gariepview.
Checking in and out is easy and geared for those also looking to sleep over en route to CT or JHB. The service is exceptional and super friendly. The rooms are gorgeous and beds very comfortable. The views of the dam are gorgeous. Very peaceful.
Most beautiful view and beautiful place.
All our family and friends refer.
Was in contact with the host all the time and kept me informed of arrangements. Had a nice sleep over. It was a very peaceful unit. Very clean and tidy.
Good overnight accommodation.
Neat, clean property with value for money, will definitely stay there again on my way to my destination.
The place is very neat and spacious has everything needed, will definitely go again.
We enjoyed our short time at Gariepview. Affordable accommodation, clean and tidy. Very helpful and friendly host.
Host was very accommodating, allowed us to book in earlier than stipulated. I will recommend them to my friends and will stay there again when traveling to Gauteng and back.
Silver clean room, bedding, view that is indescribable. The host is very helpful and friendly. An equipped kitchen with everything you can think of. We had a great time relaxing and the view in front of us gave you peace of mind. We wish you all success and prosperity for everything going forward. We will definitely come back and stay longer!
Quiet place with a breathtaking view. Place is ultra modern and neat. We were kindly received by Heincke and Nellie.
Very neat place, very clean, very modern, absolutely the best place to stay at Gariep!
Will definitely make use of this again as my spouse is an avid amateur photographer, she really had some fun taking pics of the views.
Apartment 3 - New, neat, comfortable. Ideal for overnight stay. Very nice view of the dam from the braai area.
Will definitely book there again. Very neat, modern, safe and tasteful and of course an incredible view. The owner very friendly and helpful. Really recommend the place 100%.
Stayed one night in the Honeymoon suite and it was a fantastic experience! Very spacious, modern and very clean and tidy. The view over the dam is breathtaking and the silence is food for the soul. We will definitely stay there longer next time.
Clean and tidy. Couldn't find any error.
After a long journey from the Cape, we were not disappointed with our overnight stay. Everything we needed was there and in great condition. The view is picturesque over the dam and the house very modern.
Everything was perfect and suit my needs and security was also perfect.
I can really recommend Gariepview, it's extremely neat with the most beautiful view over the dam. Very good service from the friendly owners and a wonderful, keyless, safe system that just makes it very easy for a late arrival and early morning departure. Thank you Heincke.
Very neat at a good price! We really enjoyed the view! Nellie's communication is excellent. Would recommend Gariepview for sure.
It's was awesome!! Beautiful house with the most amazing view.
Had a great stay - very safe.
The apartment is incredibly spacious and modern. It was also well equipped.
Very good service. Everything not finished outside, but it didn't affect our stay. Very good value for money.
The 'penthouse' is wonderfully spacious with an outdoor braai, well-equipped kitchen, good sleeping facilities and a huge, nice bathroom. Communication from the owners is fast and accurate - we really enjoyed our stay at Gariepview.
We stayed in unit no 3 and it really was lovely. So clean and cosy. Perfect for an individual or a couple for a weekend or so. Owner is so friendly.
Nice view of Gariep Dam. It's very neat.
Did a flower tour and slept at various places. On our way back, Gariep, our last overnight stop, was probably also the cleanest. What you see in the pictures is what you get, it is very nice clean and peaceful with a very nice view over the dam. Keep it up!
Very neat, safe place to visit with a lovely view.
Very neat accommodation, it is very safe and the parking area is very convenient. Accommodation is incredibly neat and clean received excellent service. Would definitely recommend Gariepview for a place to stay!
Gariepview is excellently located as an overnight stop between the Cape and Gauteng. The place is well equipped and has everything you need. The view over the dam is unbeatable.
Excellent and convenient and neat.
Beautiful place and view, spotlessly clean and good bed. Would just like more curtains in bedroom area for more privacy. Can recommend as an overnight stay.
The overall silence is fantastic. It is very easy to relax and recharge the batteries. For us the bed was too firm (but for the next person it might fit again). It was quite strange to be in a house without curtains. I would like the option to draw curtains in the sleeping area in the evening when the lights are on and in the morning (early) when the sun comes up and shines right on the bed.
Driveway difficult, other guest facility not soundproof enough - irritation with noise from other guests.
We enjoyed the overnight stay, unit 3 is very neat and comfortable. The small fridge is a bit small and does not have a freezer section.
I'd stay there again.
We were on our way on holiday and stayed overnight. Beautiful view of the dam.
From hospitality to comfort and cleanliness, all boxes are ticked. Will definitely use more of their services.
Everything was very clean and tidy with a lovely big bed!
Looking forward to see it again when all is done.
The outside porch was slightly covered in dust due to the drilling for water and the people who were drilling right next to our unit until 6 o'clock in the evening. It was inconvenient and a lot of noise.
If your looking for a place peaceful and quiet, Gariep is the place for you.
Except for children who ran around until late in the room above us, the sounds of their feet stomping disturbed. The rubbish bin in the kitchen unit was broken and we could not open it properly.
The place is in dire need of curtains. The whole room is bright after all the lights are off and it makes it difficult to sleep.
Very neat and fantastic view over the dam.
The unit is brand new, modern and very nice. There was a power outage in the entire area for several hours and there is no provision for emergency power. The gas stove was not connected so we could not make food or coffee. It was very inconvenient.
Will recommend this to my friends.
New place. Luxury. Incredible view. Teething problems: 1. Curtain on front door activates Maglock and opens door! 2. No gas for stovetop to cook with. 3. Window in toilet broken and covered with masking tape. 4. Toilet leaks badly! 5. Kitchen window looking at bed. No curtain (lace curtain). 6. Worried about raw sewage leaking out the front gate!
This is only a review for apartment 3. Modern, well-equipped room with the impersonal atmosphere of a hotel room. Lovely shower. Full DStv. Air conditioning. A bit dusty, because construction is not yet complete but a temporary situation. No view from the room on a pond or on a mountain but staring into a fence and houses that are higher up. Private barbecue area. If you sit outside at the table and chairs that are provided, you can look out on the pond. Mattress built into cement block that makes one quickly learn to keep one's toes off the bed. Found it a bit loud and uncomfortable but partner was satisfied. There is a glass door that connects to the rest of the house where a light was on all the time and together with the thin curtain at the window the room was brightly lit which made complete rest difficult. Would recommend that there are blockout curtains also placed in front of small window and hallway door. Feel like houses at the top can see through small window with transparent curtain. Trash in bathroom was dirty from previous guests' trash. Room meets purpose for quick overnight and early drive.
