We had a very nice comfortable stay at Namakwa Chalets.

The owner and son were extremely helpful with everything we required and so friendly. We felt very at home at their place and would gladly recommend Namakwa Chalets to friends and family.

A bit disappointing but at least we slept well.

My expectation is that guesthouse owners will at least ensure that everything is working before guests arrive. The TV didn't work. Upon request, it was partially redone. There was unfinished repair work in the bathroom which did not look good (owners apologized). The accommodation is uncomfortably small for two people. Parking is open and on the street.

Beknop met onvoldoende WiFi.

Eenheid C is werklik te klein vir twee mense. Dis feitlik onmoontlik om met 'n gemiddelde hoeveelheid bagasie daar in te pas. Beveel dit beslis nie vir meer as een nag aan nie. Alles het darem gewerk en was skoon, dankie. Ons groot frustrasie was egter die internettoegang. Wanneer geadverteer word dat gratis WiFi beskikbaar is, verwag mens in hierdie tyd WiFi van 'n hoë gehalte. Mens verstaan die probleme van die platteland met onderhoud, ens, maar dis nie aanvaarbaar dat die password van 'n gas weerhou word en dat die internet slegs een keer in die bitter koue op die stoep voor die kantoor benut kon word nie. Daarna kon ons eenvoudig nie weer ons gasheer in die hande kry om daaroor te praat nie. Mens voel dus jy is nie eerlik behandel nie. Gelukkig het ons die lieflike Wildflower Restaurant in die dorp ontdek, waar lekker kos, goeie diens en onbeperkte WiFi beskikbaar is.

Cramped with insufficient WiFi.

Unit C is really too small for two people. It's practically impossible to fit in there with an average amount of luggage. Definitely don't recommend for more than one night. At least everything worked and was clean, thank you. However, our major frustration was the internet access. When free WiFi is advertised as available, one expects high quality WiFi in this day and age. One understands the problems of the countryside with maintenance, etc., but it is not acceptable that the password of a guest is withheld and that the internet could only be used once in the bitter cold on the stoep in front of the office. After that, we simply couldn't get hold of our host again to talk about it. One therefore feels that you have not been treated fairly. Fortunately, we discovered the lovely Wildflower Restaurant in town, where great food, great service and unlimited Wi-Fi are available.

Compact and very comfortable.

We found the location of Namakwa Chalets perfect for exploring the spectacular Spring floral display, visiting local historical sites and other points of interest.

Die plek was baie netjies, maar sekerlik nie 'n 4-ster nie.

Die plek is baie klein, is nie 'n chalet (A) soos dit adverteer word nie, is basies net 'n baie klein kamertjie met 'n badkamertjie met 'n gangetjie wat dien as 'n klein kombuisie. Daar is net 1 braaiplek met geen toerusting nie, soos bv. geen koletang nie. Geen ekstra komberse was beskikbaar nie. Net een kombers met 'n throw, geen duvet nie. Vir die prys het ons meer verwag.

The place was very neat, but certainly not a 4-star.

The place is very small, is not a chalet (A) as advertised, is basically just a very small room with a small bathroom with a small hallway that doubles as a small kitchen. There is only 1 braai place with no equipment, such as no tongs. No extra blankets were available. Just one blanket with a throw, no duvet. For the price we expected more.

Heerlike oornagplek.

Wat 'n verrassing toe ons elektriese komberse en aircon in ons kamers kry. Was buite baie koud, maar binne lekker warm. Dankie Mariette en seuns!

Ons het deur middel van 'n middelman wat daar was ooreengekom om een nag oor te bly, toe bel sy die webtuiste omdat sy ontevrede was, maar sy het glad nie moeite gedoen om met ons te praat nie.

Die plek se verf in die badkamer dop af. By al die plekke wat ons gebly het was dit die swakste en almal se tariewe was min of meer dieselfde.

We agreed to stay one night through a middleman who was there, then she called the website because she was unhappy, but she didn't bother to talk to us at all.

The place's paint in the bathroom shell off. Of all the places we stayed, this was the worst and everyone's rates were more or less the same.

A chalet in a nutshell.

Take a large garage and divide it into 3 units. Fill it up with all possible things travellers want and you have a small cave in which it is difficult to move around. Enough said.

Heerlike rustige omgewing.

Die omgewing is baie rustig en weg van enige geraas of deurloop van mense. Die gasheer/-vrou is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die kamers is ook baie netjies en bied alles wat 'n mens benodig. Ons sal definitief weer van dié plek gebruik maak.

Springbok business-trip.

Clean and neat, and suitable enough for a 1 night stay. Just found the rate slightly over-inflated for what was on offer, however understandable since it's flower season. If I had to stay there out of season, I would hope their prices would be adjusted. Thank you, we loved our short stay in Springbok.

Goed genoeg vir oornagverblyf, maar andersins baie beknop.

Ons het die gevoel gekry die eienaars druk al hulle ekstra meublement in die beperkte spasie in, wat die area nog meer beknop maak.

Adequate overnight accommodation, but otherwise very cramped.

We got the feeling that the owners squeezed all their extra furniture into the limited space, which makes it even more cramped.

Was heel lekker, rustig, warm water, skoon fasiliteit en nie moeilik om te kry nie.

Ek sou sê vir 'n oorslaapplek was die chalets eenhonderd persent behalwe vir die dubbelbed wat ietwat klein was vir ons wat gewoond is aan 'n groter een. As jy daar wil bly en nie iewers elke dag heen ry nie is dit nie die plek vir jou nie. Die mure sal om my toevou, ek soek oop spasies en met die koue daai week kon mens nie rerig die aandluggie geniet nie. Ons het lekker kon braai die een aand en dit was lekker om die volgende oggend te sien die braaiplek is reeds skoongemaak - dankie.

Was so nice, peaceful, hot water, clean facilities, and not difficult to find.

I reckon for an overnight spot the chalets were 100% except for the double bed which is a bit small for us who are used to a bigger one. If you want to stay there and not explore during the day, then the place isn't for you. The walls will collapse around me, I need open spaces and with the cold weather we couldn't really enjoy the evening breeze. We had a nice braai the one evening and it was nice to see the braai had already been cleaned the next morning - thanks.
