Prime location and lovely communal facilities.

The only issue we had was with our towels. We only received 1 towel in our twin room, and in the double room, the towel was taken by the cleaning staff but not replaced.

Kon nie vinnig genoeg uit nie.

Kort 'n ernstige skoonmaak. Gebruikte stukkies seep in die stort, vloer kort 'n deeglike skrop.

Needs a serious cleaning. Used bits of soap in the shower, floor needs a thorough scrubbing.

Al die negatiewe kommentaar oor hulle is nie nodig nie.

Ons het heerlik gebly, eers in die huis self en toe in woonstel al 2 was heerlik.

All the negative comments about them are unnecessary.

We had a wonderful stay, first in the house itself and then in the apartment, both were wonderful.

Baie goed geleë gewees vir die doel van die besoek. Netjies en gerieflik.

Ek het by Shalom Lodge oorgebly tydens die SAPPA jaarvergadering. Die is regoor die konferensiesaal geleë en het dus 100% aan my behoeftes voldoen.

Die foto's op die internet is bedrieglik. Parkeerspasie is knap. Kamers is afgeleef. Water stroom oor sypaadjies, moeilik om in en uit perseel te stap.

Ek het rustig geslaap, maar sal nie weer self daar bly nie.

Die foto's op die internet is werklik bedrieglik. Ek dink regtig dat die kamertjie waarin ek moes bly, was regtig nie R500 werd nie. Ek kan dit nie vergelyk met verblyf in die Kaap teen R500 per persoon nie. Jammer, maar ek sal eerlik nie mense aanbeveel nie, veral nie enkelpersone nie. Dit was naby die atletiekbaan waar ek moes wees, maar nie volgens my op baie goeie standaard nie. Ek kon veilig binne parkeer. Dankie daarvoor. Die nag was verder rustig met geen steuringe nie.

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

I slept peacefully, but would not stay there myself again.

The pictures on the internet are truly deceiving. I really think that the little room I had to stay in was really not worth R500. I can't compare it to accommodation in the Cape at R500 per person. Sorry, but I honestly wouldn't recommend people, especially single people. It was close to the athletics track where I needed to be, but not to a very good standard in my opinion. I was able to park safely inside. Thanks for that. The night was otherwise peaceful with no disturbances.

Baie gerieflik.

Die verblyf is netjies en goed geleë en staf is vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die selfsorgeenhede se kombuisie is bitter klein en kort plaatstoof/oond waarmee jy kan kos gaar maak - op die stadium is daar net braai buite, mikrogolf en yskas, eetplek is ook net buite. As die weer sleg is is daar geen geskikte plek om kos gaar te maak of om te sit en eet nie. Lodge was baie tegemoetkomend in die dat ons hoof kombuis kon gebruik en binnenshuis geriewe kon benut om onderdak-eetplek te he maar die hele doel met "selfsorg" bespreek is om reeds die geriewe tot jou beskikking te hê, in my opinie kwalifiseer die selfsorgeenhede nie as selfsorg nie. Ontbyt wat lodge aanbied is heerlik! Baie dankie vir 'n lekker wegbreek.

Very convenient.

The accommodation is neat and well located and the staff are friendly and helpful. The self-catering units' kitchen is extremely small and lacks a plate stove/oven with which you can cook food - at the stage there is only a barbecue outside, a microwave and a fridge, the dining area is also only outside. If the weather is bad there is no suitable place to cook food or to sit and eat. Lodge was very accommodating in that we could use the main kitchen and indoor facilities to have a covered dining area but the whole purpose of "self-catering" was discussed to already have the facilities at your disposal, in my opinion the self-catering units do not qualify as self-care. Breakfast that lodge offers is delicious! Thank you very much for a nice break.

Ek sal nie die gastehuis vir mense aanbeveel nie.

Die TV het nie gewerk nie. Ons het nie warm water gehad nie. Blykbaar was ontbyt nie ingesluit in die bedrag nie, maar die eienaar het gesê sy sal dit vir ons gee. Ons het ontbyt gereël vir 7:00, maar 7:30 was daar nogsteeds niemand beskikbaar om vir ons ontbyt te bedien nie.

I would not recommend the guest house to people.

The TV didn't work. We had no hot water. Apparently breakfast was not included in the amount, but the owner said she would give it to us. We arranged breakfast for 7:00, but at 7:30 there was still no one available to serve us breakfast.
