Rustig. Te veel grondpad.

Was te ver van die Kgalagadi ingang, nie geweet van grondpad.

Retha die gasvrou was baie vriendelik. Verblyf was uitstekend.

Al die geriewe was beskikbaar en ontbyt uit die boonste rakke.

Loch Maree is like an oasis. Everything you could wish for in the middle of nowhere.

We loved the remoteness of LM. Comfortable accommodation and well-appointed. The salt lake was amazing! However, it would be helpful to have a sign at the T-junction to direct visitors to the guest farm.

Heerlike ontspanning.

Dis bietjie uit die pad uit, maar as jy die ekstra paar kilometers kan ry is dit regtig die moeite werd.

Great relaxation.

It's a bit out of the way, but if you can drive the extra few kilometers it's really worth it.

Rustig.

Ons is jagkamp toe gestuur waar twee huisies en 'n kookarea was. Iemand van die plaas sou ons kom besoek die aand. Ons het nie geweet hoeveel huisies is ons s'n nie, slaap daar nog gaste en of ons kan afpak nie. Ons het dus tot donker rondgedraai en toe niemand opdaag nie in twee slaapplekke ingetrek. Ons het ook nog geld geskuld wat ek wou betaal. Later die aand het van die werksmense vir ons heerlike vetkoek gebring wat ek na die tyd die gasvrou voor bedank het. Met ons terugkeer het ek 'n WhatsApp gekry wat die uitstaande bedrag getoon het en het ons die geld oorgeplaas. Ek wou nie 'n resensie skryf nie, want daar was nie rêrig fout nie maar ons het ook nie rêrig welkom gevoel nie.

Quiet.

We were sent to a hunting camp where there were two cottages and a cooking area. Someone from the farm would come and visit us that evening. We did not know how many cottages were ours, are other guests sleeping there and whether we could pack out. So we hanged around until dark and when no one showed up we moved into two sleeping places. We also owed money I wanted to pay. Later that evening some of the workmen brought us delicious vetkoek which I thanked the hostess for afterwards. Upon our return, I got a WhatsApp that showed the outstanding amount and we transferred the money. I didn't want to write a review because there wasn't a real mistake, but we didn't really feel welcome either.

Loch Maree Guest Farm and Field Camp 's response

Hi Joa,
Ek maak verskoning vir die ongerief. Ek self het jul by die hoofopstal ontvang en gesê jul kan maar opgaan en jul tuismaak. My skoondogter sou die aand by jul 'n draai maak, maar hul het bietjie laat uit Upington teruggekom. Ek het nog gaste by my in die Familie Suite gehad wat ek 'n 'sundowner op 'n duin moes gaan gee, asook aandete, en kon nie self by jul uitkom nie. Ek het wel vetkoeke na hul gestuur om hul welkom te laat voel. Ek is baie jammer ons het nie na jul gegaan nie, dit was nalatig en ons vra om verskoning vir dit.

Verskriklik lekker!

Ek het baie lekker gebly! Loch Maree is 'n baie oulike plek vir enige iemand/paartjie/groep wat in die Kalahari reis of spesiaal wil deurry vir 'n lekker kuier-naweek. Ek het in die veldkamp gebly wat baie goed toegerus, netjies en skoon was! Ek en my 2 scotties het elke middag 'n sundowner op die duin saam die blafgeitjies geniet, oomblikke wat ek nooit sal vergeet nie!

Terribly delicious!

I had a great stay! Loch Maree is a very nice place for anyone/couple/group traveling in the Kalahari or especially wanting to drive through for a nice weekend. I stayed in the field camp which was very well equipped, neat and clean! My 2 scotties and I enjoyed a sundowner on the dune with the barking geckos every afternoon, moments I will never forget!

Fantastic Kalahari dune 4x4 route.

We want to thank Loot for his hospitality during our visit. Ice was even delivered to us at our campsite after a long day in the dunes. The campsite was clean and even braai wood was supplied. The solar heated open shower was something to experience early in the mornings. Very very refreshing with an open sky above you. The 4x4 route is worth every cent and sand dunes could be driven at any level. I thought an FJ can not get stuck in the sand. Even the ladies had to assist to dig it out - great fun. To prepare and have lunch in the desert is something to be experienced. This is a MUST for any person with an appetite for sand dunes We will be back for more fun. Many thanks Loot!

Amazing, well equipped bush camp with all the luxuries!

We had a great stay at Loch Maree, the bush camp is beautiful and fully equipped! The owners are most friendly and made us feel right at home!
