Sufficient as an overnight destination. The comb.

The accommodation was not bad, but would not stay for more than a day or 2, more of a stopover than holiday accommodation. The toilet lid was broken and loose and the location of the toilet is inconvenient, right on the door.

Was not value for money.

Accommodation was not what we expected, therefore not child friendly. The room was also not made up the next day. The stairs up are not suitable for children unsafe.

Billike verblyf op die rand van die dorp.

Mens moet weet dat dit 'n groterige "lodge" is met slaapplek vir heelwat gaste. Daar was 'n toergroep tuis saam met my en die heel verste kamer van ontvangs is aan my toegeken; trappe op, ens. Die kamer was ruim en netjies met 'n groot badkamer. Die ontbyt is uitstekende waarde teen R100 kontant.

Reasonable accommodation on the edge of town.

One should know that it is a large "lodge" with sleeping space for many guests. There was a tour group at home with me and I was allocated the farthest room from reception; up stairs, etc. The room was spacious and tidy with a large bathroom. The breakfast is excellent value at R100 cash.

Riverside Lodge kan beter doen.

Toe ons aankom was daar 'n partytjie aan die gang. Geen ontvangsdame nie. Ons het gesukkel om iemand in die hande te kry en die ander gaste het ook gehelp. Later was die diens goed. Ons was alleen in die Lodge, het bietjie ongemaklik gevoel rakende sekuriteit, my motor buitekant. Daar is geen rak of tafel om enigiets in die badkamer neer te sit nie, geen hake vir handdoeke nie, die ketel moes onder die tafel gesit word om aan te skakel.

Riverside Lodge can do better.

When we arrived there was a party going on. No receptionist. We struggled to get hold of someone and the other guests also helped. Later the service was good. We were alone in the Lodge, felt a bit uneasy about security, my car outside. There is no shelf or table to put anything down in the bathroom, no hooks for towels, the kettle had to be put under the table to switch on.

There was no one to welcome us on arrival after waiting 15 min, someone came and she was not friendly at all.

They are so untidy the kitchen and their bathroom not up to standard, the lady that welcomed us was not friendly at all and when we ask her something she got so annoyed. We'll never go back there again, no activities for children, we had to share the kitchen with other guests and clean up our own dishes which we did not mind, but if you are more than 3 guests using the same kitchen you can not make out which dishes belong to who.

Sou net graag die ketel wou kon kook by die koffiestasie, maar daar is ongelukkig nie 'n elektriese prop nie.

Would have liked to have been able to boil the kettle at the coffee station, but unfortunately there is no electrical plug.

Disappointing.

I have stayed here in the past but was shocked at how degraded it has become. My en-suite roof was full of mold and there was dust and cobwebs between the wall and the cupboard. No soaps or anything in the shower and my colleague's room's shower didn't even have a door. I went to bed early due to an exhausting day, but then the staff decided to hold a talking contest in the 'courtyard' in front of my window. After this they never see me again. We decided to check out after the first night.

Vriendelik, gemaklik, rustig.

Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang en baie lekker gebly. Baie gemaklike beddens en sagte beddegoed. Gratis WiFi en vol DStv bouquet was veral 'n hoogtepunt vir my dogter. Sal definitief weer daar kom bly.

Friendly help but will not book with them again.

The hostess was very pleasant and helped how and where she could. Breakfast was deliciously prepared. Place is very nice but our room was really a disappointment. The bed's mattress is already so soft that you hear and feel every jump when you move. Toilet was loose in the wall so if you sit down then you do it in faith. The shower is beautiful but so impractical. No mat in bathroom or next to beds. Als is wet when you have finished taking a shower. No hot water at sink or bath so couldn't wash my hair unless I got all the way in the shower. If only it was a hassle.

Geen herstelwerk word gedoen.

Ons het R1000 betaal vir 1 nag, maar in die badkamer is geen herstelwerk gedoen nie. Ons badkamer se deurhandvatsel is afgebreek, lê net daar. Die bad werk nie. Die reuk in badkamer stink ek reken die druin stoot op. Die badkamer se toebehore is geroes. Die balkon se skuifdeur kon nie sluit nie. Die balkonne is vuil en tuin rondom is nie versorg nie. Hulle sê daar is sekuriteit, maar ons het niemand gesien nie. Niemand by ontvangs om dadelik diens te gee nie. Gedurende loadshedding het hulle ligte uitgesit, maar geen batterye in nie so dit het nie gewerk nie. 1 ply toiletpapier. Ek meen vir prys per nag kan hulle werklik meer kwaliteit insit met klein goedjies. Beddegoed was skoon wat 1 pluspunt is. Daar is geen water vir gaste in yskasie nie. Was nie genoeg handdoeke of koppies uitgesit nie.

No repairs are done.

We paid R1000 for 1 night, but no repairs were done in the bathroom. Our bathroom door handle is broken off, just lying there. The tub doesn't work. The smell in the bathroom stinks, I reckon the plum is pushing up. The bathroom fixtures are rusted. The balcony's sliding door could not close. The balconies are dirty and the garden around is not taken care of. They say there is security, but we didn't see anyone. No one at reception to give immediate service. During loadshedding they put lights out but no batteries in so it didn't work. 1 ply toilet paper. I think for price per night they could really put more quality in with little things. Bedding was clean which is 1 plus point. There is no water for guests in the fridge. Wasn't enough towels or cups put out.

Personeel was vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Wat ons die meeste ontstel het is dat daar Eskom-werkers ook gebly het wat vroegaand baie lawaai het.

What upset us the most is that there were Eskom workers also staying who made a lot of noise in the early evening.

Friendly service, clean room but smelled of smoke, too much noise.

Friendly and helpful receptionist, the room was clean and comfortable, but smelled of cigarette smoke, the hifi in the reception area was left on all night and was right next door to my room.
