Gemaklik, gerieflik, 'n ware tuiste weg van die huis af.

Ons het weereens baie lekker gebly. Ons beplan trouens altyd ons reis rondom oorslaap hier. Die mense is baie vriendelik, die diens baie goed. Ons kamer is altyd skoon en gerieflik. Aandete was 'n belewenis. Baie lekker en geurig voorberei.

Comfortable, convenient, a true home away from home.

We had a very nice stay once again. In fact, we always plan our trip around staying here. The people are very friendly, the service is very good. Our room is always clean and comfortable. Dinner was an experience. Very tasty and fragrantly prepared.

Goeie oornagplek.

Ons het 1 nag by Namaqua Lodge oorgebly op ons pad. Ons het lekker geëet in hul restaurant. Die verskeidenheid van plaaslike wyn was interessant. Die verblyf was basies, maar voldoende. Die personeel was vriendelik en hulpvaardig.

Not okay.

The room smelled like a drainpipe all the time. The air conditioner was installed very low against the wall. The air blew on top of us because the lid was missing.

Namaqua Lodge 's response

Good morning Lutz,

Firstly, I want to thank you for your review. We always appreciate all reviews, good or bad. Without reviews, we will not know how to better our service to our clients.

Thank you for bringing the situation of the drainpipe to our attention. This was an unforeseen situation that we had no control over as it was caused by a blocked drain, but please be assured that this situation has been attended to and has been resolved.

We are very sorry that you felt the air conditioning to be insufficient. Our temperatures in this region do get extremely hot and thus we have found that if the air conditioning is installed lower, rather than higher the guests do appreciate it more as it is more efficient. We apologise for the fact that the air conditioning blew directly onto your bed. We noticed after your complaint that someone actually broke off the flap on the air conditioning. We did not have prior knowledge of this and it is something that we cannot do anything about. The company that manufactured that specific air conditioning does not exist anymore and the parts are no longer available. The only option we have now is to replace the entire air conditioning and this is not a cost-effective solution at this stage. We are saddened by the fact that you had some unpleasant experiences, but truly do hope that the rest of your stay was a good experience.

We do hope that you will consider visiting our institution again in the future.

Kind regards,
Namaqua Lodge Management

Soos reeds genoem.

Ons bespreking en ontvangs was baie goed. Die kamers was netjies en skoon, maar ons was 'n groep van 14 (10 volwassenes en 4 kinders tussen 9 en 13 jaar). Almal wat in kamer nr. 1 geslaap het, het waarskynlik net helfte van die aand geslaap indien so baie. Die pype in die mure raas die hele nag deur! WiFi was ook nie goed nie.

Our booking and reception was very good. The rooms were neat and clean, but we were a group of 14 (10 adults and 4 children between 9 and 13 years old). Everyone who lives in room no. 1 slept, probably only slept half the night if that much. The pipes in the walls roar all night long! WiFi was also not good.

Die kuier en etes en die vriendelike bediening was uitstekend. Baie dankie.

Ons het daar arriveer nadat ons meer as 900 km gery het (vanaf Mariëntal). Ons was moeg toe het ons nie 'n vriendelike ontvangs by die toonbank gehad nie. Ons was lus om elders blyplek te soek. Die res van die personeel het egter meer as vergoed vir die aanvanklike teleurstelling.

Lieflike verblyf op pad noorde toe. Ons kamer het nie 'n stort gehad nie, maar na 'n navrae aan die ontvangsdame het sy sonder enige probleme ons na 'n ander kamer geskuif. Almal by die Lodge was so hulpvaardig, beleefd en vriendelik. Maak gerus gebruik van die restaurant, groot verskeidenheid en kan vir seker die ontbyt aanbeveel.

Goeie, hartlike ontvangs. Absoluut heerlike etes. Kamer voldoen aan meeste standaarde behalwe badkamer het nie 'n stort nie. Ons is vooraf daaroor in kennis gestel. Beurtkrag was nie 'n probleem nie.

Ideaal geleë in blommeseisoen.

Baie sentraal geleë vir blommekyk toeriste. Ontvangs was vriendelik en alles is mooi verduidelik. Kamer was netjies, ruim, gerieflik en goed toegerus. Vars drinkwater fontein in eetsaal en kragopwekker wat aangaan in beurtkragtyd was 'n bonus. WiFi werk goed en handig vir werkende reisigers. Etes was heerlik en restaurant op perseel gerieflik. Enigste probleem is warm water wanneer logde vol geboek is met toergroepe en almal op dieselfde tyd soggens wil bad/stort en vertrek. Dis makliker om saans warm water te kry deur net bietjie vroeër of later te bad/stort.

Ideally located in flower season.

Very centrally located for flower viewing tourists. Reception was friendly and everything was well explained. Room was neat, spacious, comfortable and well equipped. Fresh drinking water fountain in dining hall and generator that goes on during load shedding time was a bonus. WiFi works well and handy for working travelers. Meals were delicious and restaurant on site convenient. Only problem is hot water when logs are fully booked with tour groups and everyone wants to bath/shower and leave at the same time in the morning. It's easier to get hot water in the evening by just taking a bath/shower a little earlier or later.

Die aande was lawaaierig tot laat, nie aanvaarbaar nie.

Ons was blomme en Calvinia Vleis-feesgangers en het die hele dag blomme gelyk en die area besoek. Eerste aand boek daar 'n groep in wat tot 23h15 baie hard lag en gesels in eetsaal naby aan die kamer waar ons gebly het. Ander gaste kla ook oor die lawaai verneem ek van ontvangs. Nag 2 speel die Springbokke teen die All Blacks en die TV in die dameskroeg word op volle volume gedraai tot 22h45 en ons probeer om 'n goeie nagrus in te kry tussen al die dinge deur. My mening is dat die kamers naby die publieke areas beskerm moet word met toeskuifdeure in die aand om die klank te demp. Die bestuur was op diens die tye soos bevestig deur die ontvangsdame aan my nadat ek oor die lawaai gekla het. Bestuur laat die lawaai toe en neem nie die betalende gaste in ag nie. Ek sal weer daar bly, maar vir seker nie naby die publike areas, kroeë en eetsaal nie.

The evenings were noisy until late, not acceptable.

We were flowers and Calvinia Fleis festival goers and looked flowers all day and visited the area. First night there is a group that laughs and chats very loudly until 11.15pm in the dining room close to the room where we stayed. Other guests also complain about the noise, I learn from reception. Night 2 the Springboks play against the All Blacks and the TV in the ladies bar is turned on at full volume until 10.45pm and we try to get a good night's rest in between all that. My opinion is that the rooms near the public areas should be protected with sliding doors in the evening to dampen the sound. The management was on duty the times as confirmed to me by the receptionist after I complained about the noise. Management allows the noise and does not consider the paying guests. I would stay there again, but for sure not near the public areas, bars and dining hall.

Ons het een dag vroeër gearriveer as wat ons bespreking was om 22:30. Die persoon aan diens het geen probleem gehad om ons 'n kamer te gee en het nodig gehad om kamers te skuif, sodat ons dieselfde kamer as die volgende kon kry. Baie moeite gedoen om ons te help.

Baie goed geleë vir blommekyk.

Sekuriteit vir toegang tot die perseel kan beslis verbeter word. Voor by die ingang is 'n hek met 'n wagwoord, maar aan die agterkant van die parkeerarea is hekke wat oopstaan. Personeel in die restaurant het ons "oorbedien" in die opsig dat verskeie personeellede verskeie kere kom vra het of alles reg is, tot so 'n mate dat dit irriterend geword het.

Very well located for flower viewing.

Security for access to the premises could definitely be improved. In front of the entrance is a gate with a password, but at the back of the parking area are gates that are open. Staff in the restaurant "overserved" us in the sense that several staff members came to ask if everything was ok several times, to the point where it became annoying.

Ons sal hierdie verblyf vir niemand aanbeveel nie.

Ons ervaring was dat jy soos royalty hanteer word as jy deel is van hul blommetoer, andersins word jy slegs as 'n nommer hanteer. Ons was kortaf en stief deur die meeste van die personeel behandel. Die kamer en badkamer is oud en onafgewerk. Dit was netjies, maar die bad was vol hare. Selfs nadat hul dit 'n tweede keer kom skoonmaak het was dit steeds vol hare. Die sekuriteit is goed aan die voorkant van die gebou, maar agter staan die hek oop en enige iemand kan inkom, jou motor is dus nie veilig 24/7 nie. Die verblyf regverdig glad nie die kostes per nag nie. Ons was gelukkig om elders verblyf te kry vir die nag, so ons het binne 'n paar uur weer uitgeboek. 'n Personeellid wou toe weet hoe sy die situasie kon regstel, maar na wat ons als ervaar het, het ons dit van die hand gewys.

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

We would not recommend this accommodation to anyone.

Our experience has been that you are treated like royalty if you are part of their flower tour, otherwise you are only treated as a number. We were treated curtly and stiffly by most of the staff. The room and bathroom are old and unfinished. It was neat, but the tub was full of hair. Even after they came to clean it a second time it was still full of hair. The security is good at the front of the building, but at the back the gate is open and anyone can enter, so your car is not safe 24/7. The accommodation does not justify the costs per night at all. We were lucky to find accommodation elsewhere for the night, so we checked out again within a few hours. A member of staff then wanted to know how she could rectify the situation, but after what we had already experienced, we declined.

Very unfriendly and rooms need a makeover.

I probably stood waiting at reception for over 10 minutes for someone to check us in while they sat at the bar. After that we are moved to another room not the one we booked on nice sleep co. sat. it was then a completely different room, I let it go, we were tired and just wanted to rest for the night. The room was very old and some of the guests made a lot of noise at the back late at night and in the morning hours. And while we are busy creating comfort my wife discovers the biggest cockroach in our room it disappeared under the bed we had to look for it luckily there is a can of doom in the room we were able to spray it and find the cockroach I have the photo . We wanted to check out right away, but we were so tired and decided to just spend the night waiting for it to be day and travel on. I will come with my bakkie and bushlapa next time, maybe we will be treated better.

Adequate facilities.

We stayed over for one night. The staff on arrival were friendly and efficient. We were nervous about leaving the car outside in the street, but were relieved that there was parking around the back. This however should be monitored by a security guard as later we found people that had walked in from the streets that shouldn't be there. The rooms are like dormitories. The whole building is old and would do well to have a revamp. On entering the room, one could immediately notice a sewerage smell. Later discovered that the toilet, shower and basin shared an outlet pipe. Also the basin was leaking slightly on the floor. We tolerated this as we were only staying for one night. Also there is no solid wall between the bathroom and the bedroom. This was evident that the bathroom was an afterthought. The room and bedding was clean. The crockery supplied was ancient, and can do with upgrading. The restaurant and service was very good. We had wonderful meals there.

Ons het al verskeie kere daar oornag, hetsy op noorde toe of terug huis toe.

Ons het nog altyd baie lekker daar geslaap en geëet en hulle gee beslis waarde vir geld. Hulle moet net aandag gee aan die detail instandhouding, krane wat los sit, die wasbakkrane wat verkeerd om gekoppel is, een bedlampie wat glad nie 'n kragprop het nie ens.

We have spent the night there several times, either on our way north or back home.

We have always slept and eaten very well there and they definitely give value for money. They just need to pay attention to the detail maintenance, faucets that are loose, the sink faucets that are connected incorrectly, one bedside lamp that doesn't have a power plug at all etc.

My vriendin en ek het 'n selfsorgkamer gedeel in die agterste wooneenhede by Namaqua Lodge. Die slaapkamer en kombuis is standaard en voldoen aan basiese verwagtinge. Die feit dat daar 'n sleutel vir elke kas in die kombuis is, is vreemd-irriterend veral as jy net gou 'n bord of 'n glas wil uithaal. Die kombuis is onnodig ruim (sonder dat daar gerieflike sitplek is om 'n ete te nuttig), maar in die badkamer kap die stortdeur teen die wasbak wanneer jy dit groot genoeg oopmaak om in die stort in te wurm en nie een van ons is lywig nie. Die spasie tussen die enkelbeddens en die spieëlkas is uiters knap en ons was dankbaar dat ons net daar geslaap het vir twee nagte. Die gevoel is dat die lodge soveel moontlik gaste wil akkommodeer sonder om regtig te veel om te gee vir hul gerief. Die kamers was skoon maar 'n matjie op die teëlvloer sou gehelp het vir die ysige aande.

Basic accommodation but well located if you want to look at flowers.

My girlfriend and I shared a self-catering room in the rear accommodation units at Namaqua Lodge. The bedroom and kitchen are standard and meet basic expectations. The fact that there is a key for every cabinet in the kitchen is strangely annoying, especially if you just want to take out a plate or a glass. The kitchen is unnecessarily spacious (without comfortable seating for a meal), but in the bathroom the shower door hits the sink when you open it wide enough to worm your way into the shower and neither of us are bulky not. The space between the single beds and the dressing table is extremely neat and we were thankful that we only slept there for two nights. The feeling is that the lodge wants to accommodate as many guests as possible without really caring too much about their comfort. The rooms were clean but a mat on the tiled floor would have helped for the chilly evenings.

Ons besoek aan die pragtige Namakwaland is effens bederf deur teleurstellende verblyf.

Ons het regtig uitgesien na ons tweede besoek aan Vanrhynsdorp en veral ook na aanleiding van die goeie advertensie van Namaqua Lodge. Die ontvangs was baie professioneel en die aandete (braai-buffet) se gehalte was ook uitstaande. Die kamer was egter teleustellend en die feit dat ons op geen stadium warm water kon hê nie, baie ontstellend.

Our visit to the beautiful Namaqualand was slightly spoiled by disappointing accommodation.

We were really looking forward to our second visit to Vanrhynsdorp and especially following the good advertisement of Namaqua Lodge. The reception was very professional and the quality of the dinner (barbecue buffet) was also outstanding. However, the room was disappointing and the fact that we could not have hot water at any point, very upsetting.

Ons het lekker gebly (soos ook in die verlede). Heerlik geëet in die restaurant. Al die personeel is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Indien jy 'n gesinskamer bespreek en reeds tieners of ouer kinders het is Kamer 22 nie die geskikste kamer nie. Die ruimte is baie beperk en die badkamer bitter klein.

If you book a family room and already have teenagers or older children, Room 22 is not the most suitable room. The space is very limited and the bathroom extremely small.

Disappointing.

The accommodation was comfortable and clean, however the hostess concentrates on tour groups rather than the private customer. Meal times are dictatorial and inflexible - dinner from 19h15 until 20h15; breakfast from 07h00 to 08h00 - and "please be punctual". A bit much to ask for people wanting to relax on holiday!

Namaqua Lodge 's response

Goeiedag Piet en Erica,
Ons is baie bly en dankbaar dat julle ons lodge gekies het vir 'n welverdiende wegbreek om die pragtige blomme te kom aanskou. Soos julle weet is dit ons besigste tyd van die jaar en hardloop ons maar 'n bietjie rond om by alles uit te kom. Ons waardeer wel die hoeveelheid ekstra kuiergaste ongelooflik baie. Daarby gese het ons, ons eie toermaatskappy waar ons mense die blomme wys elke dag. Dan het ons ook ons buffet etes waarop ons baie trots is en ons naam ons vooruit loop. Met die twee saam het ons regtig 'n wenresep waar ons soveel mense blomme kan wys en heerlike kos kan gee teen 'n billike prys. Ongelukkig met die aard van buffetetes word die kos op 'n sekere tyd bedien om die meeste mense op een slag kwalitiet kos te voer. Dan kan die kos net vir 'n sekere tyd voorgesit word voordat dit ongelukkig te droog/koud word om regtig jou waarde vir jou geld te kry. Dis 'n fyn balans om almal te probeer gelukkig hou, 'n redelike tyd te bedien, en goeie kwaliteit kos te bedien. Dus moet ons ons tye bietjie beperk en aanpas om die meeste gaste gelukkig te hou. Ons is jammer die tye het julle nie gepas nie. Ontbyt is sekere oggende baie vroeg om toergaste tegemoet te kom. Ons verstaan vakansie is 'n tyd om laat te slaap en ontspanne te voel. Ons hoop julle verstaan ons punt en dat julle weer sal terugkom vir 'n kuier volgende jaar.

Sleg geslaap en koue stort.

Bed was sag met holte in middel en ek en my vrou kon skaars slaap. Vreeslik lawaaierig as mense deure oop- en toemaak. Personeel skree ook oor en weer vir mekaar. Ergste was die koue stort die volgende oggend. Buffet-aandete was heerlik maar bietjie duur. Ons het toe maar ontbyt gemis, want dit was oor ons begroting na aandete.

Bad sleep and cold shower.

Bed was soft with a cavity in the middle and my wife and I could hardly sleep. Terribly noisy when people open and close doors. Staff also shout at each other over and over again. Worst was the cold shower the next morning. Buffet dinner was delicious but a bit expensive. We then just missed breakfast because it was over our budget after dinner.

Goeie dag Wouter,
Ons is jammer die ervaring was nie op standaard nie. Ons het die probleem met die geyser uitgesorteer. (Element)
Ongelukkig kan ons nie veel doen aan die deure wat raas as dit oop of toe gemaak word nie. Ons het wel die personeel aangespreek oor die geraas in die gange. Baie dankie vir die terugvoering. Die bed was Januarie 2021 nuut gekoop en het ons nog net goeie terugvoering gekry daaroor. Meeste van die hotel se beddens is minder as 2 jaar oud. Die buffet ete se prys voel ons is billik vir voorgereg, slaaie, hoofgereg (insluitend 2 vleise) en vele nageregte om van te kies asook koffie en tee. Ons hoop julle sal weer 'n draai kom maak wanneer ons a la carte restaurant weer oop is. Ons het baie billike pryse en 'n goeie wyn versameling. Geniet julle tydjie in Namakwaland!

Lekker kos, maar fasiliteite kort 'n opknapping.

Die feit dat die kamers en badkamers nie op dieselfde vlak is nie skep 'n probleem. Die badkamers is ook nie toegebou tot teen die dak nie.

Basically just overslept.

Bathroom, shower specifically, is just creepy. Sink faucets are loose in the sink. Shower does not drain completely. Broken tiles. A little attention to this can mean great improvement.

Die akkommodasie was bo verwagting. Sal dit enige tyd aanbeveel. Uitstekende kliëntediens.

Amanda het vooraf geskakel en seker gemaak dat ’n kamer sonder ’n stort reg is. Met ons aankoms het ons gevra ons en ons vriende wil naby mekaar wees, toe skuif hulle ons. Ons het op 8 verskillende plekke geslaap tydens ons toer en kan vergelyk. Namaqua se personeel was baie vriendelik en professioneel en tegemoetkomend. Die kos was heerlik.

A little gem.

When I arrived at the hotel I thought to myself where have I booked. This impression was probably because it had been a long day and I was tired from travelling. Don't be put off from the outside as this is a little gem and great place to stay. The price they charge is so reasonable that I don't know how they can be so budget friendly. The staff were friendly and accommodating and made sure that I had a pleasant stay. The hotel is old and the rooms quite small but everything was clean and functional. If you are expecting 5-star you will be disappointed, but if you want friendly home away from home feel this is the place to stay. I had a lovely meal in the open courtyard and a nice breakfast selection in the dining room. Nice to have safe parking as well. I would definitely stay here if I was back in the area.

Gasvryheid, omgee en passie. Dit is hoe ons jul die beste kan beskryf.

Na 'n lang dag op die pad, dag 4 van ons "roadtrip", het ons onself vir 'n eerste besoek in Vanrhynsdorp bevind. Besprekings was so op die pad gedoen en hier kon ons reeds die opregtheid en gasvrye gesindheid van die Lodge se personeel ervaar. Ons wooneenheid (selfversorgend) was netjies, ruim en skoon en het voldoen aan die behoefte van ons besoek hier. Dit was valentynsdag en die "special" ete beslis 'n treffer. Party sal verwys na dit as hoe dit moet wees, maar ons weet, opregtheid, omgee en harts-mense, doen dinge net anders, julle ook. Ons het daar en dan besluit om 2 nagte te vertoef en die dorp te verken. Geen oomblik was ons spyt oor die besluit. Aandetes, ontbyt en vriendelikheid het jul beslis in ons harte laat in kruip. Die mooiste kokerbome hier sal ons ook bybly. Jul span is kosbaar en dit is ons gebed dat jul geseend sal wees, voorspoedig en guns sal ontvang om voort dit te doen wat besoekers opgewonde maak. Dankie nogmaal. (Petro en Bertus)

Hospitality, care and passion. This is how we can best describe you.

After a long day on the road, day 4 of our "road trip", we found ourselves in Vanrhynsdorp for a first visit. Reservations were made on the way and here we could already experience the sincerity and hospitable attitude of the Lodge's staff. Our accommodation unit (self-catering) was neat, spacious and clean and met the needs of our visit here. It was Valentine's Day and the "special" meal was definitely a hit. Some will refer to it as the way it should be, but we know, sincerity, caring and hear
