Kamer was vuil op plekke.

Die houtbalke was vol stof bo-op. Wit linne het vlekke op gehad. Daar is nie kragproppe om bv. die ketel in te plug nie. As mens by die trappe opstap stamp jy jou kop teen die grasdak - ek is glad nie 'n lang persoon nie.

Room was dirty in places.

The wooden beams were full of dust on top. White linen had stains on it. There are no power plugs to e.g. plugging in the boiler. When you walk up the stairs you bump your head against the thatched roof - I'm not a tall person at all.

Thank you for hosting us. Had a lovely stay.

Thank you for hosting us, we had a lovely stay and even extended it with one more night. Staff were friendly and always available. The river was not great for fishing, but beautiful and great for a walk. I would definitely suggest a small washing line to hang towels and wet clothes. The pool needs to be made safe with some form of enclosure.

Baie rustige omgewing het lekker uitgerus

Dit was heerlik om net in n stil omgewing in te stap, en jou skoene op die stoep uit te skop en te ontspan. Weg van die allerdaagse bedrywighede, geen besige strate en toeters soos ons al amper gewoond is aan nie.

It was wonderful to just walk into a quiet environment, kick off your shoes on the stoep and relax. Away from the everyday activities, no busy streets and honking horns as we are almost used to.

Nie wat ons verwag het nie.

Die kamer wat ons bespreek het, is nie die kamer wat ons gekry het nie. Ontvangs was ook nie bewus van ons bespreking en die feit dat ons alreeds betaal het nie en moes heelwat rond bel om dit te bevestig. Die kamer wat ons wel gekry het, het egter gewerk. Die kamer is selfsorg, maar het nie genoeg messegoed vir die hoeveelheid mense in die kamer nie en ons moes vir ekstras gaan vra. Die kamer was ook baie oppervlakkig skoongemaak wat onsmaaklik was. Die kamer beskik ook nie oor genoegsame kragpunte vir die toebehore nie en een moet byvoorbeeld uitgetrek word om 'n ander in te prop. Ek beveel 'n multiplug aan. Die houtvloere bo ons het veroorsaak dat die gaste bo ons 'n verskriklike stoornis was. Prysgewys, met al die in ag geneem, het ons al op heelwat plekke gebly wat heelwat goedkoper was en beter was. Op 'n positiewe noot, die personeel is vriendelik en die ontbyt lekker. Ons sal ongelukkig nie terug kom nie.

Not what we expected.

The room we booked is not the room we got. Reception was also unaware of our booking and the fact that we had already paid and had to call around quite a bit to confirm this. However, the room we did get worked. The room is self-catering but does not have enough cutlery for the number of people in the room and we had to ask for extras. The room was also very superficially cleaned which was unpleasant. The room also does not have enough power points for the accessories and one has to be pulled out to plug in another, for example. I recommend a multiplug. The wooden floors above us caused the guests above us to be terribly disturbed. Price-wise, with all that considered, we've stayed in a lot of places that were a lot cheaper and better. On a positive note, the staff are friendly and the breakfast delicious. Unfortunately we will not be coming back.

Good day
All bookings are done online and we cant change rooms without the system notified.
The room that was booked is our budget room and the cheapest room.
Some people confuse our luxury with budget accommodation.

Nice but needs some attention.

The person on duty was very friendly, attentive and nice. But for the price we paid, there really needed to be better maintenance - things were breaking or broken in the room (toilet seat, kettle, light fixtures) and in the general space. It was a pleasant stay but for the price and the promotion of it being a 4 star place, we really expected a lot more.

No air cons nor management to assist.

I booked this facility because it was a 4 star B&B. When we arrived there was a nice young lady Pumzi who received us, no management. The rooms did not have air con's in, surely, surely a four star rated B&B would have air cons, when I asked Pumzi to speak to the owners she said they did not give her airtime to phone them so there was no contact. It was probably 30 degrees, weekend of the Ironman in East London, hence the need for the air con! So with that kind of poor service we left and checked in somewhere else where there were air cons and the service was great.

Tidewaters River Lodge 's response

Thank you for the feedback.

1. Guest booked online and did not book room with air-con.
2. The nice lady, Pumzie, did phone me and I did talk to the guest and explain to him that he did not book rooms with air-con’s but did try to see if the rooms with air-cons was available but wasn’t. I would have taken air-coolers from our other guesthouse down to Tidewaters for them.
3. Pumzie phoned me from the Guesthouse phone and I did have a conversation with the guests.
4. Pumzie phoned me back and told he they left and that he told her that he’s going to put a bad review on the site.
5. The guests had contact with me on the Guesthouse phone.

Puik ligging.

Badkamer kort dringend aandag. Ons bedlampie het nie 'n gloeilamp ingehad nie en die diensafdeling kon nie ons van 1 voorsien nie. Laastens was ons matras baie swak en moet dit onmiddellik vervang word.

Excellent location.

The bathroom urgently needs attention. Our bed lamp didn't have a light bulb and we couldn't be assisted with one. The mattress was terrible and it has to be replaced immediately.

Baie skoon en netjies en rustige atmosfeer.

Die dame wat ons verwelkom het was baie goed, het ons onmiddellik alles gewys en ook 'n heerlike ontbyt die volgende oggend vir ons gemaak. Kamer was baie mooi en ruim.

Goed vertoeven.

Mooie kamer, prima ontbijt. Gastvrouw was heel attent. Jammer dat er bij het zwembad geen stoelen stonden. Bij de kamer buiten was een bank, hele avond daarop zitten was minder.

Stay well.

Nice room, great breakfast. Hostess was very attentive. Too bad there were no chairs at the pool. There was a couch outside the room, sitting on it all evening was less.

Baie lekker gebly.

Goeie waarde vir geld. Die koffie is net baie flou, maar verder uitstekende waarde vir geld. Die koffie kan sterker wees en ontbyt warmer.

Very nice stay.

Good value for money. The coffee is just very weak, but otherwise excellent value for money. The coffee could be stronger and breakfast hotter.

Ek sal weer in die toekoms daar bly.

Ons het in die gesinskamer gebly. Ons langnaweek se besoek vir die Ysterman 2015 was regtig waar aangenaam. Die ligging is naby die see asook restaurante en winkels. Die gesinskamer was baie ruim en ons kinders het die swembad baie geniet.

I will stay there again in the future.

We stayed in the family room. Our long weekend visit for the Ironman 2015 was really really enjoyable. The location is close to the sea as well as restaurants and shops. The family room was very spacious and our children really enjoyed the pool.

Large group

Excellent establishment

Dealing with a large group could sometimes become complicated. There are various requests and at times causes confusion for the establishment. In this instance we had a combination of this, but Antoinette handled it extremely well.
