For the money not worth it.

Opened liquor bottles still in a switched off fridge, make the place stink. Booked for 2 people but there were only necessities for 1 person, had to ask for spoons to make coffee, nothing in the room. There was no milk to make coffee with. Tv channels just a fake advertisement for such a place.

Room was not ready on our arrival.

The music in the diner was too loud during dinner. The crew was not ready with meals as per the stipulated times.

Teleurgesteld. Kamers nie netjies nie met krake en plekke wat nog nie klaar geverf is nie.

Gevra vir duvet vir kinders se bed en net gesê dat een van hulle maar onder die kombers moet slaap. Klein dinge soos gordyne wat nie ingehaak is nie was opvallend. Pragtige plek, maar kamers en diens laat veel te wense oor.

Disappointed. Rooms not tidy with cracks and places not yet finished painting.

Asked for duvet for children's bed and only told that one of them should sleep under the blanket. Little things like curtains that weren't hooked up were noticeable. Beautiful place, but rooms and service leave much to be desired.

Disappointed, the venue is overrated.

On arrival reception was very cold. We were not told about free WiFi, dinner times and costs. No further explanation on activities at lodge or in the greater Battlefields area. Breakfast was below average. The internet pictures of the accommodation was not the same as the actual accommodation.

Baie rustig en natuurskoon is pragtig.

Verblyf is net te duur vir die silo waar ons ingebly het. Mens betaal net soveel in n 4 ster hotel en dan is dit baie groter ruimte.

Very quiet and scenery is beautiful.

Accommodation is just too expensive for the silo we stayed in. You pay as much in a 4 star hotel and then it is a much bigger space.

Was fantasties lekker gewees.

Beide my vrou en ek het die Lodge ongelooflik gevind. Die kamer was fantasties skoon en netjies en die diens was vriendelik en flink. Die Battlefield Country Lodge is 'n moet indien jy sentraal geleë wil woon wanneer jy die Battle Field roete wil aanpak. Ons will graag die bestuur bedank vir die wonderlike tydjie wat ons daar woonagtig kon wees.

Was fantastically nice.

Both my wife and I found the Lodge amazing. The room was fantastically clean and tidy and the service was friendly and prompt. The Battlefield Country Lodge is a must if you want to live centrally located when you want to tackle the Battle Field route. We would like to thank the management for the wonderful time we had living there.

Skoon, goed geleë, onbetrokke personeel, was net besig om funksies te hanteer.

Goeie verblyf, swak kommunikasie met personeel, het gesukkel om eetsaal self te kry, maar skoon en mooi.

Clean, well-located, unassuming staff, were just busy dealing with functions.

Good accommodation, poor communication with staff, struggled to find the dining room by ourselves, but clean and beautiful.

Slegte ervaring.

'n Pragtige plek. Maar wat 'n teleurstelling toe ek ons bungalow sien. 'n Vertrekkie 4 m by 5 m waarvan 1 m afgestaan is vir 'n piepklein wasbakkie, stort en toilet. Geen seep. Geen waterglas in die houer by die wasbakkie, geen dubbelprop om selfoon te laai nie. Klein spieëltjie ver van 'n muurprop (toe ek bel en vir een vra, bring hulle 'n internasionale prop), kan nie sien as hare blaas nie, geen toiletverfrisser nie. Moet weer bel vir lugversorging se "remote". Lakens dun en deurgewas van jare se gebruik. Handdoeke net so dun en klein, kan nie eens om lyf vou nie. Het dit na gebruik in vuilgoedblik geprop. Hoop iemand kry die boodskap. Vind agterna uit dit was 'n "budget room". Hoekom is dit nie aan ons genoem met bespreking nie? Dit is net goed genoeg vir kinders wat saam met 'n skool toergroep is, maar dan is dit hopeloos te duur, want 2 enkelbedjies is ook maar klein! Gelukkig was die ontbyt nie te sleg nie. Moes wag vir eetgerei, want daar was 'n oorsese toergroep en alles was reeds in gebruik!

Bad experience.

A beautiful place. But what a disappointment when I saw our bungalow. A small room 4 m by 5 m of which 1 m has been set aside for a tiny sink, shower and toilet. No soap. No water glass in the holder by the sink, no double plug to charge a mobile phone. Small mirror far from a wall plug (when I called and asked for one they brought an international plug), can't see if hair is blowing, no toilet freshener. Have to call again for A/C "remote". Sheets thin and washed out from years of use. Towels just so thin and small, can't even wrap around the body. Popped it in the trash after use. Hope someone gets the message. Later found out it was a "budget room". Why was this not mentioned to us at booking? It is just good enough for children who are with a school tour group, but then it is hopelessly overpriced, because 2 single beds are also small! Luckily the breakfast wasn't too bad. Had to wait for cutlery as there was an overseas tour group and everything was already in use!

Baie vriendelike personeel.

Volgens die web is daar volledige toegeruste kombuis. Daar was net 2 bekers, 2 glase, yskas, mikrogolf, ketel. Geen kombuisware, nie eens 'n teelepel nie. Dat mens kan braai is ook nie korrek. Jy moet vleis koop by die kombuis en hulle braai dan vir jou en jy kry eetgerei. Daar moet duidelik gesê word dat die lodge nie selfsorg is nie. Die kamers kort werklik instandhouding. Matte moet gewas word. Blinders stukkend. Stortkop stukkend. Handdoekreling val af. Kombuis gordyn val af. Baie vriendelike personeel en heerlike bed met skoon wit lakens. Ongelooflike natuurskoon.

Very friendly staff.

According to the web there is a fully equipped kitchen. There were only 2 mugs, 2 glasses, fridge, microwave, kettle. No kitchen ware, not even a teaspoon. The fact that you can braai is also not true. You have to buy meat at the kitchen and they braai it for you and you receive cutlery. This should be mentioned - the lodge is not self-catering. The rooms really need some maintenance. Carpets must be washed. Blinds are broken. Shower head is broken. Towel railing falls off. Kitchen curtan falls off. Very friendly staff and nice bed with clean white sheets. Amazing nature.

Ons het heerlik warm geslaap en boonop is ons motor ook pragtig skoon gewas.

Ontvangs die Sondagaand en aanwys van akkommodasie moet bietjie aandag kry. Ten spyte van 'n bespreking meer as 3 maande voor die tyd en bevestiging per epos 2 weke voor die tyd, was ons akkommodasie nie gereed met aankoms nie. Ons het na 17:00 eers aangekom. Ons is egter baie goed tegemoet gekom en het daarna ons verblyf regtig geniet.

We slept wonderfully warm and, on top of that, our car was also beautifully washed.

Reception on Sunday evening and designation of accommodation need some attention. Despite booking more than 3 months in advance and confirmation by email 2 weeks in advance, our accommodation was not ready on arrival. We only arrived after 17:00. However, we were very well received and afterwards really enjoyed our stay.

Dit was aangenaam.

Die personeel kan saam met die gas na die kamer gaan. Ek het nogal lank na myne gesoek. Die TV-programme is meerdendeels op sport gekonsentreer en ek het nie 'n kanaal gehad wat my interesseer nie. Gee asb daaraan aandag. Vir die prys voel ek dat daar sjampoe en stortseep in die badkamer moet wees. Ek het nie daarvan gehou dat die personeel by ontvangs gevra het wat ek betaal het nie, aangesien ek reeds die volle bedrag aan LekkeSlaap betaal het en die personeel "voel" ek skuld hul nog geld.

It was pleasant.

The staff can go to the room with the guest. I have been looking for mine for quite some time. The TV programs are mostly concentrated on sports and I didn't have a channel that interested me. Please pay attention to it. For the price I feel that there should be shampoo and shower soap in the bathroom. I did not like that the staff at reception asked what I paid, as I had already paid the full amount to LekkeSlaap and the staff "feel" I still owe them money.
