Naweekwegbreek.

Die plek is baie mooi netjies en skoon, al wat sleg was - ons het nie warm water gehad nie. Maar andersins het ons lekker gebly.

The place is very nice neat and clean, all that was bad - we didn't have hot water. But otherwise we had a nice stay.

Heerlike ontspanningsnaweek.

Die stilte met die voëltjies wat so lekker sing was net wat ons nodige gehad het om ons battery te laai vir die laaste trek van 2022.

The silence with the birds singing so well was just what we needed to charge our batteries for the last trek of 2022.

Ons is hartlik en vriendelik ontvang deur Ronel, en het 'n heerlike rustige naweek gehad, die bokke op ons voorstoep, was 'n groot bonus. Sal beslis die plaas weer besoek.

Vinnige oornag. Redelik stil (bietjie pad geraas) in 'n mooi omgewing.

Goed toegerus maar die feit dat die kombuis op die boonste vloer is met 'n baie nou trap no bo, maak dit moeilik om kratte met kos ens. bo te kry. Die voordeel is dat jy 'n mooier uitsig het vanaf die braai-balkon.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Quick overnight. Fairly quiet (little road noise) in a nice setting.

Well equipped but the fact that the kitchen is on the top floor with a very narrow staircase at the top makes it difficult to carry crates of food etc. get to the top. The advantage is that you have a nicer view from the braai balcony.

Perfek vir 'n naweekwegbreek vanaf die stad. Gesinsnaweek. My dogtertjie kon lekker op die grasperk speel terwyl ons om die vuurtjie gesit en kuier het. Privaat en baie rustig. Ons wil binnekort weer gaan kuier. Ronel het ons geboodskap om te hoor of als in orde is.

Ons het bespreek en binne 'n uur ingeklok, ons sou nie in Parys oorgebly het nie. Die huisie het alles wat jy nodig het, met 'n braai stoep op boonste vloer by kombuis en TV- en eetkamer. Die kamers en badkamers is onder. Lekker swembadjie en pragtige natuur.

Pragtige omgewing.

Het die gasvrou glad nie gesien nie. Daar was geen verwelkoming en enige inligting deurgegee nie, moes haar bel. Het Pendoring bespreek en voluit betaal al 5 maande terug, maar toe ons daar kom wou sy ons in 'n ander eenheid sit. Was glad nie aanvaarbaar nie, maar na 'n telefoonoproep het ons darem toe kon ingaan na dit wat ons bespreek het.

Doringbos Lodge is die perfekte plek vir 'n vinnige wegbreek uit die gedreun van die stad en reguit in die bosveld in. Die plek is goed toegerus en lyk presies soos die foto's. Daar is baie plek om rond te stap en diere om te sien.

Warm water is nog altyd 'n probleem op die plaas, ons geniet dit ongelooflik baie op die plaas, maar vind dit ongemaklik met die warm water situasie.

Hot water has always been a problem on the farm, we enjoy it incredibly much on the farm, but find it uncomfortable with the hot water situation.

Dit was 'n heerlike rustige naweek en hierdie juweel kan gerusbesoek word.

As die gejaagde lewe te veel word is hierdie die plek om te besoek. Die wooneenhede is netjies en ruim. Wild is volop en loop al om die woonstelgronde. Onthou die fietse, lekker roetes.

Pragtige skoon netjiese wegbreek plek met baie vriendelike en behulpsame gasheer en vrou.

Skoon, netjiese, stil en rustige wegbreekplek in die natuur, waar mens kan wegkom van die stadsgewoel. Die uitstekende, vriendelike en behulpsame diens van die eienaars is noemenswaardig. Die lodge is effens verwyder van die hoofstroom naweek aktiwiteite van Parys, maar vir seker dus rustigheid.

Clean, tidy, quiet and peaceful getaway in nature, where you can get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The excellent, friendly and helpful service of the owners is worth mentioning. The lodge is slightly removed from the mainstream weekend activities of Paris, but for sure therefore tranquility.

Rustige wegbreek.

Die verblyf is pragtig en skoon. Die hoekbad in die hoofslaapkamer was 'n groot bederf. Die louwarm swembad was heerlik. Die omgewing is baie rustig en mens kan werklik ontspan. Een ding wat toekomstige toeriste moet weet is dat daar in die Somer baie vlieë is, veral wanneer daar kos gemaak/gebraai word. Ek stel voor om voorsiening te maak soos Doom of ander alternatiewe. Ons het dit baie geniet. Baie dankie.

The accommodation is beautiful and clean. The corner bath in the main bedroom was a big treat. The lukewarm swimming pool was lovely. The environment is very clam and one can really relax. One thing prospective tourists have to know is that there are a lot of flies in summer, especially when food is being prepared. I would recommend buying Doom or other alternatives. We enjoyed it a lot. Thanks so much.

Ondraaglik warm en onwelkom.

As dit nie vir die wild was wat daar rondloop nie, is daar niks spesiaal aan die plek nie. Wel ek praat spesifiek van die Soetdoring eenheid, waarin ons geplaas was. Ek vermoed die eienaar het gesien ons kom van Botswana af en gedink die eenheid is gepas vir "bos-bewoners". Ons is meegedeel dat die ander eenhede by die Lodge nie beskikbaar is nie, dit was 'n leun. Die 'bed' waarop my 16 jarige dogter moes slaap, was swak. Die plek is vol stof en vol spinnerakke. Ons het Vrydag middag ingeboek, behalwe dat ons die stem van die eienaar/bestuurder gehoor het oor die foon, het ons geen siel gesien vir die 4 dae wat ons daar was nie. Soetdoring is in die middel van 'n oop stuk grond, dis is soos 'n bakoond en daar is slegs 'n losstaande waaier. Die plek is solar aangedrewe, so met ons aankoms, is ons telefonies meegedeel dat ons nie haardroërs mag gebruik nie, hoe gebruik 'n vrou vir 4 dae glad nie 'n haardroër nie?

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Unbearably hot and unwelcome.

If it wasn't for the wildlife walking around, nothing would be special about this place. Well, I'm specifically referring to the Soetdoring unit where we were placed. I suspect the owner saw that we are from Botswana and thought this unit would suit "bush dwellers". We were informed that the other units at the Lodge were not available, it was a lie. The bed my 16 year old daughter had to sleep on, was weak. The place is full of dust and cobwebs. We arrived Friday afternoon, except for the owner's voice we heard over the phone, we didn't see anyone for the 4 days we were there. Soetdoring is in the middle of an open field, it is like an oven and there is just a stand-alone fan. The place is solar powered, so at arrival we were informed over the phone that we were not allowed to use a blow dryer, how does a women not use a blow dryer for 4 days?

Goeie dag

Ons is jammer dat bg gas dit so ervaar het. Soetdoring is ons eenheid wat altyd heel eerste bespreek word. Die gaste verwys na ons plek as n paradys. Dit is ook die eerste keer wat gaste kla oor die spleeper chouch. Aan die hitte kan ek ongelukkig niks doen nie. Die gaste moet besef dit is op n plaas en die goggas en spinnerakke is deel daarvan. Ek maak vandag my eie wooning skoon en n dag daarna is daar weer spinnerakke. Ek het ook die gas meegedeel dat daar n haardroer beskikbaar is wat sy vrou kan gebruik wat deur die solar gedra kan word.

Nie weer nie.

Eerstens het ons 'n blyplek gekry wat nie op die web geadverteer is nie. Ons het uitgesien daarna om in een van die plekke te wees wat geadverteer is. Tweedens het ons gesukkel om die TV te laat speel. Derdens het die gasverwarmer nie gewerk nie. Vierdens het dit begin reën en toe ons in die hoofslaapkamer ingaan, is alles vol water. Van die toilet af deur die badkamer tot in die slaapkamer. Die water het letterlik in die plek ingestroom. Dit het selfs op die bed nat geraak. Ons het die mense laat weet en tot op hede wag ons nog steeds op 'n reply van hulle af. Vyfdens werk die stoof nie. Ons wou 'n stukkie hoender bak, in die oond en na 'n halfuur het nog niks gebeur nie alhoewel die liggie wys die oond is aan. Sesdens het dit begin hael en ons voertuig staan buitekant die erf waar huis is. Geen beskerming vir voertuig nie. Baie haelskade opgedoen.

Never again.

Firstly we did not get the accommodation that is advertised on the web. We were looking forward to staying in one of the places that was advertised. Secondly we struggled to make the TV work. Thirdly the gas heater did not work. Fourth it started raining and when we went into the main bedroom, everything was full of water from the toilet to the bedroom. The water literally flowed into the place. It even got wet on the bed. We let the people know and we are still waiting for a reply. Also the stove did not work. We wanted to bake a piece of chicken and after a half hour nothing had happened even though the light proved that the oven was on. It also started hailing and our car stood outside the yard of the house without any protection. We suffered a lot of hail damage.

Sover ek weet het ons dit spesiaal op die web bygevoeg. Ons het die gasverwarmer die Maandag aangesteek en dit het gebrand. Die oond het ons nagegaan en dit het ook gewerk. Ons het ongelukkig eers die boodskap gekry nadat hul uitgeboek het omdat ons nie altyd 'n goeie sein het nie. Aan die reën kan ons ongelukkig niks doen nie ons is maar net te dankbaar. Ons was nie bewus daarvan dat die dak lek nie dis die eerste keer. Ons kan ongelukkig nie voorsien dat dit gaan hael nie. Die stoof het ook gewerk. Jammer vir die ongerief.

Onbeskryflik mooi.

Doringbos Lodge is onbeskryflik mooi. Vandat jy deur die hekke ry voel jy tuis. Ronel is baie vriendelik en baie behulpsaam. Soetdoring is die mooiste en gerieflikste huisie, met alles wat nodig is. Die bokke het ons ook dadelik welkom laat voel. Hulle het al om die huisie beweeg. Dankie aan Ronel en LekkeSlaap vir hierdie hemel op aarde.

Indescribably beautiful.

Doringbos Lodge is indescribably beautiful. From the moment you drive through the gates you feel at home. Ronel is very friendly and very helpful. Soetdoring is the most beautiful and comfortable house, with everything you need. The goats also immediately made us feel welcome. They have already moved around the house. Thanks to Ronel and LekkeSlaap for this heaven on earth.

Die ideale plek om sommer net in die mooi natuur te ontspan en kuiertyd met jou familie te geniet.

Heerlik gekuier en sal enige tyd aanbeveel.

Ongelooflike uitsigte, heerlik stil en rustig so die ideale plek om te ontspan

Ongelooflike uitsigte, heerlik stil en rustig so die ideale plek om te ontspan en mens te word. Gerieflik naby aan Parys maar ver genoeg om die sterre te kan sien. Vlamdoring is baie netjies, skoon en baie goed toegerus. Ronel is so vriendelik, gasvry en gaan uit haar pad om seker te maak alles is reg. Ek sal defnitief Doringbos Lodge aanbeveel en gaan absoluut weer kom ontspan.

Incredible views, wonderfully quiet and calm, it is the ideal place to relax. You can find yourself again. It is comfortably close to Parys, but far enough away so that you can see the stars. Vlamdoring is very neat, clean and well equipped. Ronel is very friendly, hospitable and will go out of her way to ensure that everything is fine. I will definitely recommend Doringbos Lodge and will also definitely return!

Pragtige, vreedsame omgewing!

Dis pragtige, goed versorgde eenhede. Lekker bed en bad. Ek het 'n duvet gemis. En daar was spinnerakke en dooie goggas as mens die bed wegtrek van die muur af. Die geroeste swartpotjie vir kook was nie ideaal nie. Sal 'n duvet en pot volgende keer saamvat. Die mense was baie gaaf en hulpvaardig. Heerlike groot gasverwarmer in die kamer. Waarde vir geld.

Beautiful, peaceful environment!

These are beautiful and well looked after units. Nice bed and bath. I missed a duvet. There were also cobwebs and dead bugs visible when you pulled the bed away from the wall. The rusted black pot was not ideal for cooking. I will take a duvet and pot along next time. The people were kind and helpful. Lovely big gas heater in the room. Value for money.

Dis die beste selfsorg-eenheid wat ek nog gehuur het teen 'n baie billike prys.

Die eenheid is baie goed toegerus, skoon en netjies. Die ontvangs was vriendelik. Dit is die ideale plek om te gaan rus en uit die stad se lawaai te kom. Die springbokkies slaap op die gras voor die eenhede, wat dit nog rustiger maak. Sal dit definitief aanbeveel.

It's the best self-catering unit I've ever rented at a very reasonable price.

The unit is very well equipped, clean and tidy. The reception was friendly. It is the ideal place to rest and get away from the city noise. The spring goats sleep on the grass in front of the units, which makes it even more peaceful. Would definitely recommend it.

Die rustigheid was heerlik.

Die eenhede is pragtig. Die goggas in die aand was bietjie ongemaklik vir sommige van die gaste. Miskien net vooraf waarsku dat ons insekdoder kan saambring. Daar was ook spinnekoppe agter die beddens. Andersins was dit heerlik. Ek sal beslis weer gaan.

The tranquility was wonderful.

The units are beautiful. The bugs in the evening were a bit uncomfortable for some of the guests. Maybe just warn in advance that we can bring insecticide. There were also spiders behind the beds. Otherwise it was delicious. I will definitely go again.

Heerlik gebly. Effens naby die pad, maar behalwe vir dit was heeltemal die moeite werd. Baie gasvry.

Wonderlike ervaring! Ons seuntjie het dit baie geniet: "splash pool", staproetes en heerlik gesinskuier. Die eenhede is baie netjies, modern en goed ingerig. Die eienaar is gasvry en baie akkommoderend.

Dit was aangenaam.

Die eenheid het nie lugversorging nie en die vensters in die hoofslaapkamer kon nie oopmaak nie, so dit was baie warm. 'n Broodrooster sal lekker gewees het en die deur na die eenheid was stukkend en ek moes met ons vertrek deur die venster klim om die deur oop te kry.

It was pleasant.

The unit does not have air conditioning and the windows in the master bedroom could not be opened so it was very hot. A toaster would have been nice and the door to the unit was broken and I had to climb through the window to get the door open when we left.

Baie gerieflik en silwerskoon.

Die akkommodasie is gerieflik en ver genoeg van die dorp af vir rus en vrede en tog naby genoeg om gou iets te gaan eet. Die huisies is goed uitgelê en toegerus.

Teleurgesteld.

Die eenheid wat ons bespreek het, was adverteer as geskik vir 8, maar dit was eintlik net geskik vir 6. Die plek was vuil - kaste vol stof en spinnerakke agter die beddens, ens. Ons het koud gekry en het vir ekstra komberse gevra, maar het nie gekry nie. Beddegoed was baie dun vir die winter. Vensters het baie koue lig ingelaat, het nie ordentlik toegemaak nie. Die stort was baie swak, geen water het omtrent by die stort uitgekom nie.

Best place to be to enjoy the peace and quietness that nature has to offer.

Lovely stay we had, would definitely come back. We have to decided to make it our place for tranquility. The heated pool was beautiful especially at night gazing at the stars and listening to sounds of wild animals. The place is big and spacious though we would love to have more pots as it is a self catering facility; an iron and ironing board should also be provided. Overall, lovely stay we had and fairly reasonably priced.
