Wonderful oasis after a long day on the road.
Our large family room was very comfortable. The air conditioning was great in the heat. A large boerekos dinner was a wonderful treat and so was breakfast. All the staff were friendly and made you feel truly at home. Will stay there again.

Quiet and safe and the food served in the restaurant is delicious.
The service from the staff was great. Due to the storms in the Western Cape and the fact that some of the main routes as well as the Huguenot tunnel were closed to traffic, we were obliged to postpone our booking by one night. After one phone call directly after reception at Donkin Country House, our request was met immediately and without hesitation. This is excellent service.

Hi Eckart, almost anything and everything can be arranged, if you request it beforehand. We have corporate guests that order lunch packs. We have families that order picnic lunches. We have early travellers that order breakfast packs. We are always happy to assist our guests, but it really makes it easier if you just ask.

Booked because there was also DSTV, big sports weekend in RSA. No rugby on DSTV package. Must then mention that there is no sport/rugby on the DSTV package at Donkin Country House.
If I make a reservation, look at certain things that are offered such as air conditioning, swimming pool and DSTV. There was a great sports weekend with several RSA rugby teams in play-off matches. Donkin Country Lodge mentions that there is DSTV available, so one assumes that this will also include the sports channel. Channel 201 and also 211 were not available and we were advised to drive to two different eating places in town to watch the rugby. MAW if you mention there is DSTV then they must also mention no sport. Customer service at the place knew there was no rugby because she mentioned that the people usually have to go and watch the rugby elsewhere in the town. So it wasn't the 1st time it happened.

Hi Jacques,
So sad to hear about your discomfort.
Our power backup includes all lights on the premises, security, Wi-Fi, communications, access control, and other essentials. No air-cons however because adding almost 60 air-cons to the load would require a battery bank bigger than your house.

Translate to English.
Neat and clean, but attention to detail is lacking.
We only stayed one night as we were traveling to Caledon and had already been on the road for 12 hours at the time of our arrival. Our unit's ceiling needs attention as the paint is either starting to peel or it was not properly prepared before it was painted. The door frame (wood) of the bathroom has a hole in it (which appears to be rotted). Due to the season we are in, we have specifically booked a unit with air conditioning, and although there is an air conditioner, there is a condition that it cannot be set colder than 22 degrees Celsius due to the pressure it puts on the electricity farm. This may not be a problem for everyone, but we prefer at least 18-19 degrees, especially with the temperatures experienced in the summer (it was 38 degrees in the afternoon at 16:30). For the rate being asked, we would also expect proper coffee to be provided in the room, but there were only Ricoffy bags and tea and we just went and bought our own coffee. At the price per night I can't recommend it - it looks like newer, more modern units have been added at the front and may be more value for money, although we didn't view them. However, Donkin Country House is neat and clean, but we have spent the night cheaper with better facilities.

Donkin provides excellent and comfortable overnight accommodation/
Flat 2 is great, with 2 bedrooms, each with a bathroom. There is also a kitchen and living room with TV. Everything is clean and comfortable! Don't miss the dinner!

Nice place for an overnight stay.
The place is spacious. Disappointed in the baths which are old and unstable. As the double bed in one of the rooms is rock hard, no one can sleep on it. Will have to replace it before I will consider staying there again. Furthermore, it is a very cute place.

Donkin Country House is very nice, clean and tidy. The food in the restaurant is very nice. It was wonderful to be able to cool off in the pool. We would love to stay there again and would definitely recommend Donkin Country House

Accommodation good, food not good at all.
Accommodation was very neat, very spacious & comfortable, also very good price. However, dinner was far too little even for small portions, and the price was ridiculously expensive. There is also no staff to help with dinner, so for accommodation I would recommend it, but not at all to eat there.

Hi Maggi
Ons is baie verbaas en verras om van jou teleurstelling te hoor.
Almal wat by ons aandete en ontbyt eet is altyd so bly dat hulle gekies het om eerder hier te eet. By ons buffet saans kan gaste hulleself help, soos by enige ander buffet. Ons het altyd meer as een vleisgereg, voorberei volgens tradisionele Karoo boerestyl. Ons het ook altyd meer as twee verskillende groentes, met rys en 'n aartappeltjie. Ook a Griekse 'n slaai. Dan het ons ook 'n kroeg waar jy jou drankie van jou keuse kan geniet. Dit net vir R150. Nagereg is opsioneel.
Ontbyt geniet almal ook. Behalwe die koue buffet wat koffie en vrugtesappe insluit, word jou warm kos voorberei na jou sin. Ontbyt is R100.
Ons pryse is baie mededingend en bied waarde vir geld. Ons is tevrede dat ons gaste nie te veel betaal nie. Volgende keer kom bespreek dit gerus met die bestuur. Meeste kere na so 'n geselsie besef gaste hoe duur kosaankope is, en dat ons nie werklik geld maak uit kosverkope nie. Dis meer 'n diens wat ons aan ons gaste lewer.
Veilig reis
Karooliefde.

Plek het basies onderhoud nodig om dit beter te maak.

Place basically needs maintenance to make it better.
Double bed is harder than kitchen table. Baths look very bad, shower is not at all what a shower should be (I understand there is water shortage, but shower heads/pressure is just plain poor).
