Die gasheer, Michael, was baie behulpsaam en het vinnig ons kamer opgegradeer na 'n kamer van ons keuse toe ons nie gelukkig was met die eerste een nie.

Die personeel was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam en die kos was van uitstaande gehalte. Die kroeg en restaurant kry beslis 'n 5-ster gradering. Die kamers kort 'n bietjie aandag, maar ons het nietemin 'n baie goeie nagrus gehad na 'n lang dag op die pad en die paar ontbrekende luukses het nie te veel saak gemaak vir ons nie. Dit was immers net om te oornag na 'n lang reis. Ons sal beslis weer daar oornag.

The host, Michael, was very helpful and quickly upgraded our room to a room of our choice when we were not happy with the first one.

The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was of excellent quality. The bar and restaurant definitely gets a 5-star rating. The rooms need a bit of attention, but we still had a very good night's rest after a long day on the road and the few missing luxuries didn't matter too much to us. After all, it was just to stay the night after a long journey. We will definitely stay there again.

Die foto's op die webwerf en die werklikheid verskil van mekaar. Indien die koste minder per nag, per persoon was, sou die standaard van die fassiliteit aanvaarbaar gewees het.

Die kamerlig en die badkamerlig was buitewerking. Die stoel het stukkende plekke, die bedmatjie het stukkende plekke. Af teël in die badkamer. Stortdeur onder vuil en aangepak. Die deur is effens los van die muur en kan nie oop of toe sonder dat hy opgelig word nie. Die asblikkies het nie plastiese sakke in nie vullis direk in drommetjie. Badkamer asblik kan nie oopmaak met voet nie, mens moet die deksel met die hand lig. Hangkas het 'n gat in onder. Die deur sluit nie dig nie. Die badkamer se gordyn pas nie by die opening nie, die kamergordyne maak net-net die opening toe as dit toegetrek is en is verseker nie -3 ster standaard / gehalte nie. Mure het plekke wat afdop. Ons het 2 sleutels ontvang een vir die buitedeur in die gang, en een vir ons kamer. Albei sleutels sluit beide die kamer en die buite deur in die gang oop. Dit beteken al die kamers se sleutels kan al die kamers oopsluit!

Translate to English.

The photos on the website and the reality are different from each other. If the cost was less per night, per person, the standard of the facility would have been acceptable.

The room light and the bathroom light were out of order. The chair has broken places, the bed mat has broken places. Down tile in the bathroom. Shower door below dirty and boarded up. The door is slightly detached from the wall and cannot open or close without being lifted. The dustbins do not have plastic bags in them, rubbish is placed directly in the bin. Bathroom trash cannot be opened with foot, one has to lift the lid by hand. Hanging cabinet has a hole in the bottom. The door does not close tightly. The bathroom curtain does not fit the opening, the room curtains only close the opening when drawn and are certainly not -3 star standard / quality. Walls have spots that peel off. We received 2 keys one for the outside door in the corridor, and one for our room. Both keys unlock both the room and the outer door in the corridor. This means all the room's keys can unlock all the rooms!

Very disappointed, with the room and the overall experience.

The state of the room is not good, the door is broken, damaged, looks like someone punched it, damage looks like someone tried to break into the room. The bathroom is, well, the sink has cracks, the toilet cistern is broken (cracked). I did not get breakfast even after they asked me what time I wanted to eat, I said 8:30 as I had to travel to another wedding, no one from the hotel was even there at 8:30, they only arrived just before 9 am, by then it was too late to eat. Very unhappy with the price and what I got (did not get). Will not use them again.

Not the right place.

We stayed for one night at Hamlet Country lodge purely because a friend suggested we stop at Prince Alfred Hamlet (apparently a nice little historical town) on our way to Sutherland. It was a disappointing experience, as there is absolutely nothing to see in this town, except for the Gydo pass. The lodge is situated on the main busy road, with lots of traffic and Friday night street noise. The lodge itself is clean and trying hard to preserve its old glory, but is suitable for an overnight stop only. If in the area, rather look for accommodation in Ceres, which is only 10 min away.

Die publieke areas was gesellig en netjies en het persoonlikheid. Die kamer was teleurstellend en het duidelik dringende aandag nodig. Dei reuk van sigaretrook het die hele kompleks oorheers. Ontbyt was uitstaande en die diens van die restaurantpersoneel ook, baie dankie!

Om in die Hamlet in te stap, stap mens terug in tyd.

Die Hamlet is 'n gesellige oorslaapplek. Goeie waarde vir geld en meestal alles volgens verwagtinge. Die groot plus en beste deel van die ervaring is om saans in die kroeg te kuier saam met die locals en reisigers. Die musiek is nostalgies 60's en 70's vroegaand en die atmosfeer laat vreemdelinge maklik meng.

To step into the Hamlet, one steps back in time.

The Hamlet is a cozy place to sleep. Good value for money and mostly everything as expected. The big plus and best part of the experience is hanging out in the bar in the evening with the locals and travelers. The music is nostalgic 60s and 70s in the early evening and the atmosphere allows strangers to mingle easily.

Gerieflike oornagverblyf vir ons.

Ons het die Lodge a.g.v. sy goeie resensies gekies en gevind dat dit werklik so goed was. Vriendelike diens, groot en gemaklike kamer en skoon badkamer. Die aandete en ontbyt was goed voorberei en smaaklik (bobotie persoonlik deur die eienaar gemaak). Die ouwêreldse sjarme van die hotel is behou, maar prakties en gerieflik ingerig.

Mooi skoon klein hotelletjie met vriendelike mense en lekker kos.

Ek was werklik verbaas met hierdie hotel. Ek moet sê ek het nie veel verwag toe ek geboek het nie. Die kamers is baie netjies en skoon. Dit was redelik koud, maar toe ons so 7 uur daar aankom was die aircon reeds aan en die kamer heerlik warm. In die restaurant en kroeg het 'n heerlike vuurtjie gebrand. Die kos en diens was puik. Ek was heerlik verras toe ek in die bed klim en vind daar is 'n elektriese kombers op die bed en dit was reeds aangesit. Ek sal beslis nie huiwer on weer hier te oornag nie.

Nice clean little hotel with friendly people and good food.

I was really surprised with this hotel. I have to say I wasn't expecting much when I booked. The rooms are very neat and clean. It was quite cold, but when we got there around 7 o'clock the aircon was already on and the room was wonderfully warm. A delicious fire was burning in the restaurant and bar. The food and service were great. I was pleasantly surprised when I got into bed and found there was an electric blanket on the bed and it was already on. I would definitely not hesitate to stay here again.

Not somewhere I will revisit.

We arrived on Boxing day at the check-in time and no one was in the hotel. We had to call for it to be opened up. We were unaware that the restaurant was going to be closed so I cannot comment on the quality of the dinner but the breakfast the following morning was pretty good. The room was clean and neat however the fridge smelled really bad. My review maybe bias because of the public holiday but this was our experience.

Nie baie beïndruk nie.

Ons het ongeveer 14h00 op Saterdag daar gestop. Die geraas vanaf die kroeg kon van die straat, waar ons parkeer het, gehoor word. Ons het seker 15 minute by die sekuriteitsdeur voor die ingangsportaal gestaan en die klokkie aanmekaar gelui voor iemand per toeval daar verbygeloop het en ons raakgesien het. Toe word ons gesê ons het nie bespreek nie. Ons het na seker nog 15 minute ons kamer gekry, wat ons ook nie beïndruk het nie. Die kamer het net 'n bad gehad, wat regtig klein is. Daar is geen voorsiening gemaak vir 'n beker om bv. jou hare af te spoel nie. Die vloeibareseephouer by die wasbak kon nie gebruik word nie. Die yskas raas so dat ons dit moes afsit om te kon slaap. Die kamer was egter netjies, met skoon wit linne en wit handdoeke.

Not impressed.

We arrived at 14:00 on the Saturday afternoon. The noise from the bar could be heard from outside in the street where we parked. We waited about 15 minutes at the front door, ringing the bell, until someone eventually saw us and let us in. We were then informed that we did not have a reservation. After another 15 minutes, we eventually got a room that we were not impressed with at all. The bathroom only had a very small bath. There was no way to wash your hair. The liquid soap container at the basin could not be used. The fridge made such a noise that we had to switch it off just to get some sleep. The room was quite neat with clean white linen and towels.

Heerlike oornag vir gesin.

Ons het een aand in lodge oorgeslaap tydens kinders se tennis toernooi op Ceres. Ons het baie lekker middagete en aandete in die lodge geniet en was verbaas oor die groot porsies. Ek en my vrou kon rustig in die kroeg kuier terwyl die kinders veilig buite rondhardloop. Baie dankie aan ons gasheer Hennie en sy personeel vir 'n heerlike aand. Ons kan die lodge beslis aanbeveel.

Vriendelike mense en wonderlike kos.

Ons het regtig ons verblyf baie geniet. Die personeel is van die vriendelikste en behulpsaamste wat ek al ooit teëgekom het. Hierdie plek is sulke goeie waarde vir geld dat dit regtig jammer is dat die interieur so verbeeldingloos is. Die pragtige ou gebou sal soveel meer tot sy reg kom as die interieur daarby aansluit. Die eetkamer het 'n kaggel, maar daar is geen gemaklike sitplekke daarby nie. Met die gevolg dat mens nêrens lekker kan sit en lees nie aangesien die lig in die kamers baie swak is.

Friendly people and great food.

We really enjoyed our stay. The staff are some of the friendliest and most helpful I have ever encountered. This place is such good value for money that it's a real shame that the interior is so unimaginative. The beautiful old building will come into its own so much more if the interior matches it. The dining room has a fireplace, but there are no comfortable seats by it. With the result that one cannot sit and read comfortably anywhere as the light in the rooms is very poor.

Was vreedsaam.

Die ontbyt kan maar met gratis drankies wees, bv. my kind drink sap, maar moes ekstra betaal daarvoor terwyl koffie en tee ingesluit was. Jy kan ook nie 'n tweede gratis koppie koffie kry nie.

Was peaceful.

The breakfast can only be with free drinks, e.g. my child drinks juice but had to pay extra for it while coffee and tea were included. You also cannot get a second free cup of coffee.

Koel lafenis in die Februarieson.

Ek en my man het lekker daar geslaap. Die ontbyt was ook vullend. By aankoms was ons aanvanklik teleurgesteld, omdat ons kamer twee beddens i.p.v. 'n dubbelbed gehad het, soos ek bespreek het. Monja het egter vriendelik verduidelik dat die dubbelbed-kamer se lugversorging skielik gebreek het. Ons het beslis die koelte bo 'n dubbelbed waardeer!

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

Cool breeze in the February sun.

My husband and I slept well there. The breakfast was also filling. On arrival we were initially disappointed, because our room had two beds instead of had a double bed, as I had booked. However, Monja kindly explained that the double-bed room's air conditioning had suddenly broken down. We definitely appreciated the coolness above a double bed!

Kamer het my so afgesit. Als oud en daar kan beslis opgradeer word met alles.

Die eienaar behulpsaam en vriendelike personeel. Ontbyt was nie afskeep en baie lekker. Kroeg mooi asook ontvangsarea mooi oudhede. Kamers is oud en met beddegoed en gordyne en handdoeke, geen lus om daar te slaap. Badkamer als saamgeflans en slordig met teëls en rakkies en veral die toilet. Dubbele stort gerieflik maar moet opgradeer. Sal dit nooit aanbeveel.

Kamer put me off like that. If old and there can definitely be upgraded with everything.

The owner helpful and friendly staff. Breakfast was not neglected and very tasty. Bar nice as well as reception area nice antiques. Rooms are old and with bedding and curtains and towels, no desire to sleep there. Bathroom if flanged together and sloppy with tiles and shelves and especially the toilet. Double shower convenient but needs upgrading. Would never recommend it.

Tidy. Nice bar.

The accommodation was neat. The service for breakfast was a bit poor in the sense that the tables were still dirty from the previous day, but this may be because we checked in at 8am for breakfast, when they were still getting ready. I would like to see more of the management, maybe meet the owners.

Was werklik 'n lekker experience.

Met aankoms het ek gevind die yskas was nie mooi skoongemaak na die vorige gaste vertrek het nie, maar die personeel het onmiddellik ingespring en dit skoongemaak. Die mense was vriendelik en baie behulpsaam! Sal vir seker weer daar oornag. Ek kan dalk net voorstel dat hulle die parkeringshek sluit in die aand, rede daarvoor is ek het gereis per motorfiets.

Skoon, netjies, goeie diens en goeie prys.

Van die oomblik dat jy instap by die Hamlet Country Lodge, voel jy spesiaal. Die akkommodasie is baie netjies, skoon en aandag word gegee aan detail wat vir my belangrik is. Dit is perfek vir iemand wat baie sakereise onderneem. Hier kry jy nog waarde vir geld. Die etes is heerlik, vars en word deur vriendelike personeel bedien. Niks is hier te veel gevra van die personeel van die lodge nie. Ek reis baie vir besigheid, en my akkommodasie in die Hamlet/Ceres-area sal beslis by die Hamlet Country Lodge wees.
