Telleurstellend.

Telleurstellend. Eerstens was daar niemand om ons te ontvang nie. Uiteindelik iemand opgespoor en word toe meegedeel dat daar nie 'n bespreking vir ons is nie. Tweedens, was dit glad nie skoon rondom die woning nie. Die gras was lank, vleis bene het rond gelê rondom perseel en aansienlik onnet gewees. Ek en my vrou ook gevoel gekry dat veiligheid n probleem kan wees. Die webtuiste het alternatiewe akkommodasie by Clanwilliam Accommodation gekry en was dankbaar dat hul op kort kennisgewing ons kon akkommodeer.

Disappointing.

Disappointing. First, there was no one to receive us. Finally tracked down someone and was then told there was no reservation for us. Second, it was not clean at all around the residence. The grass was long, meaty bones were lying around the premises and was considerably untidy. My wife and I also felt that safety could be a problem. The website found alternative accommodation at Clanwilliam Accommodation and were grateful that they could accommodate us at short notice.

Lekker gebly. Alles was in plek. Kort net 'n mikrogolfoond.

Die pad na hulle toe is bietjie verwarrend. Geen duidelike padaanwysers nie. Hulle is redelik ver van 'n dorp. Daar is geen manier om kos warm te maak as jy daar wil eet nie. Kort 'n mikrogolfoond.

Nice stay. Everything was in place. Just needs a microwave oven.

The road to them is a bit confusing. No clear road signs. They are quite far from a town. There is no way to heat food if you want to eat there. Short a microwave oven.

Uitstekende kliëntediens.

Ons het 'n fantastiese tyd as huisgesin saam geniet. Benjamin, die eienaar was net eenvoudig puik vandat ons daar aangekom het totdat ons vertrek het. Sy diens was uitstekend en hy is 'n boobaas chef. Sy ontbyte was eersteklas en het ons baie spesiaal laat voel. Ek sal voorstel dat wie ook al by Benjamin bly glad nie eers oorweeg om enige ander plek te eet as by hom nie. Hy het ook ander wooneenhede beskikbaar in die berg wat fantasties is. Dankie vir die moeite wat hy gedoen het om dit vir ons te gaan wys. Benjamin is n wonderlike mens wat net die beste verdien.

Excellent customer service.

We had a fantastic time together as a family. Benjamin, the owner was just simply great from the time we got there until we left. His service was excellent and he is a top chef. His breakfasts were first class and made us feel very special. I would suggest that whoever stays at Benjamin's place does not even consider eating anywhere but his place. He also has other condos available in the mountain that are fantastic. Thanks for the effort he made to show it to us. Benjamin is a wonderful person who deserves only the best.

Heerlike verblyf by 'n gasvrye gesin.

Besonderse omgewing waaraan mens jou verkyk. Die gasheer het uit sy pad gegaan om dit vir ons aangenaam te maak. Die kamers was netjies en skoon. Ons het heerlik gebraai in 'n beskutte lapa al was dit nie 'n selfsorgplek nie. Die gasheer het borde en eetgerei aangedra. Die ontbyt was uit die boeke! Keurig en spesiaal voorberei. Dit het gevoel of ons in 'n hotel eet!

Lovely stay with a hospitable family.

A special environment to look at. The host went out of his way to make it pleasant for us. The rooms were neat and clean. We had a great barbecue in a sheltered lapa even though it was not a self-catering place. The host brought plates and cutlery. The breakfast was out of the books! Carefully and specially prepared. It felt like we were eating in a hotel!

Maybe the kitchen could be cleaned more often. I also didn't know we had to take our own cutlery, but it's a very nice place. I will check in there again anytime.

There was something different on the dinner table than usual. Nicely prepared.

Only when you talk to Benjamin and hear his testimony - then you understand certain elements and observations. We would recommend that there should be a little more finishing and finesse and be developed to make his guest house more attractive. It will make his guest house even better to realize his ideal so that he can also continue to provide services and help to other people, especially the young farm children that he likes to help and guide. He is an outstanding cook. Blessings to him.

Die eienaar Benjamin het uit sy pad gegaan om ons 'n lieflike tyd te gee, heeltemal bo ons verwagtinge.

Ons het na Citrusdal gegaan as drie gesinne om die buite aktiewiteite te gaan geniet (met bergfietsroetes). Ons het toe plek by Ukholo gekry. Weens die droogte was daar geen swemplek naby ons nie, maar ons kon toe 'n dag by Clanwilliamdam spandeer. Die drie dae in Citrusdal was kort maar gepak met familie-buiteaktiwiteite en gasvryheid wat ons harte warm gemaak het.

The owner Benjamin went out of his way to give us a lovely time, completely beyond our expectations.

We went to Citrusdal as three families to enjoy the outdoor activities (with mountain bike trails). We then got a place at Ukholo. Due to the drought there was no swimming place near us, but we were then able to spend a day at Clanwilliamdam. The three days in Citrusdal were short but packed with family outdoor activities and hospitality that warmed our hearts.

Voldoen nie aan verwagtinge.

Beskrywing misleidend. Indien jy 'n backpacker tipe verblyf verlang, is dit die plek vir jou. Baie informeel. Het 'n meer professionele aanslag verwag. Reis heelwat en het nog nie vantevore so 'n opset teëgekom waar plaaslike inwoners ook deel van die opset uitmaak nie. Soos 'n vorige besoeker genoem het, die leë bierbottels wat buite rondstaan, skep nie 'n goeie indruk nie. Vir die regte tipe besoeker is hierdie sekerlik 'n goeie plek.

Does not meet expectations.

Description misleading. If you want a backpacker type of accommodation, this is the place for you. Very informal. Expected a more professional approach. Travel a lot and have never come across such a set up where locals are also part of the set up. As a previous visitor mentioned, the empty beer bottles lying around outside do not create a good impression. For the right type of visitor, this is certainly a good place.

The room was pretty, perfect for two people. The shower's hot and cold taps were good. The room is clean and in a quiet area. It is perfect to recharge away from the city's hustle and bustle. Excellent. The reception was very good.

A relaxing stay in beautiful surroundings.

Benjamin welcomed us and immediately we felt at home. A great host, good food and spotlessly clean. Beautifully situated amongst orange orchards with great views. Very relaxing.

Skoon en netjies. Die kos was uit die boeke gewees.

Die padaanwysings vanaf Pretoria was net nie akkuraat nie.

Clean and tidy. The food was off the books.

The road directions from Pretoria were just not accurate.

Rooms very nice and tidy.

Dirt road to the residence leaves a lot to be desired, especially if one has to drive there with a motorcycle. I fell there.

Aangenaam.

Ons het lekker gebly. Wat wel gepla het is die volgende: die toilet was twee dae buite werking. Daar is slegs een kragprop in die vertrek vir die ketel, waaier, skootrekenaars en yskas. Plafonwaaiers kan ook aangebring word. Andersins was verblyf goed, Benjamin het goeie werk gedoen.

Pleasant.

We had a nice stay. What did bother me is the following: the toilet was out of order for two days. There is only one power plug in the room for the boiler, fan, laptops and fridge. Ceiling fans can also be fitted. Otherwise stay was good, Benjamin did a great job.

Vriendelike ontvangs, baie netjies.

Al wat kortkom is lugversorging of 'n waaier in die kamers. Verder het ons heerlik gekuier en die kos was van hoogstaande gehalte. Die gasheer is baie professioneel en ook vriendelik.

Vir 'n oornag-stop is dit ideaal!

Die kamers is baie netjies en skoon, dink hulle moet net seker maak dat die kamers reg is voor hulle nuwe gaste insit. Ons kamer het omtrent geen toiletpapier gehad nie! Die personeel was baie vriendelik en het graag gehelp waar hulle kon. Dink hulle moet net let op al die leë bierbottels wat buite en op die stoep staan, dit gee 'n slegte indruk van die plek. Asook die personeel wat deur die dag oop en bloot sit en drink, dit skep 'n baie slegte indruk van die plek! Ek dink die plek het vreeslik baie potensiaal!

For an overnight stop it is ideal!

The rooms are very neat and clean, think they just need to make sure that the rooms are ready before they put in new guests. Our room had almost no toilet paper! The staff were very friendly and happy to help where they could. Think they should just pay attention to all the empty beer bottles outside and on the porch, it gives a bad impression of the place. As well as the staff who sit and drink openly throughout the day, this creates a very bad impression of the place! I think the place has a lot of potential!

Benjamin goes out of his way to accommodate his clients.

Under relatively new management - has made positive additions and improvements to make hospitality and comfort a reality. Benjamin still needs to revamp the lounge and the self catering side. However, the rooms are fabulous and reflects Benjamin's flare for creativity. We enjoyed his hearty welcome and meals.

Sleg.

Die plek is baie sleg geleë. Die stop/ry-padblokkade het gemaak dat ons 20 km verby gery het. Die eienaar kon 'n groter bord teen die pad gesit het sodat reisigers dit makliker kan sien. Die kamer was netjies toe ons daar kom. Dit was egter nooit gevee nie en die vloere is nooit gewas nie. Om alles te kroon was daar nie 'n besem of 'n mop sodat ek dit self kon doen nie. Die opwasmiddel was verdun met water. Ons moes die mikrogolfoond half van die yskas af laat staan voordat die draad by die muurprop kon bykom. Nodeloos om te sê was die plek nie een keer in die 4 dae dat ons daar was skoongemaak nie. Ons het ook nie skoon beddegoed gekry nie. Ek het ook nie my R20 kleingeld gekry nie. Ons was by 'n troue en het effens later as die voorgeskrewe tyd vertrek en die eienaar het dit skaamteloos uitgewys. Ek was nog nooit by enige blyplek dit aangesê nie. Hy het nog baie om te leer van gasvryheid.

Bad.

The place is very badly located. The stop/drive roadblock made us drive 20 km past. The owner could have put a bigger sign on the road so that travelers can see it more easily. The room was tidy when we got there. However, it was never swept and the floors were never washed. To top it all off there was no broom or mop so I could do it myself. The detergent was diluted with water. We had to leave the microwave halfway away from the fridge before the wire could reach the wall plug. Needless to say the place was not cleaned once in the 4 days we were there. We also did not get clean bedding. I didn't get my R20 change either. We were at a wedding and left slightly later than the prescribed time and the owner shamelessly pointed this out. I have never been told this at any place to stay. He still has a lot to learn about hospitality.

Hoogs aanbeveel!

Ek en my vrou het Citrusdal besoek vir 'n werksonderhoud en besluit om die omgewing bietjie te verken. Ukholo Lodge was 'n uitstekende plek om dit te doen. Hulle pryse was uitstekend in vergelyking met meeste plekke in die Wes-Kaap. Die ontbyt was ook uitstekend! 'n Paar dinge om te onthou is dat nie al die kamers yskasgeriewe het nie. Die bestuurder is besig om die kamers met al hoe meer sulke dinge uit te rus. Wat gaste wel kan verwag is 'n baie netjiese blyplek met gawe ontvangs. Die enigste nadeel van Ukholo Lodge is dat mens nogal ver kan ry indien mense anderkant Citrusdal wil stop. Om egter Clanwilliam en Citrusdal te verken, is Ukholo Lodge ideaal.

Highly recommended!

My wife and I visited Citrusdal for a job interview and decided to explore the area a bit. Ukholo Lodge was an excellent place to do this. Their prices were excellent compared to most places in the Western Cape. The breakfast was also excellent! A few things to remember is that not all rooms have refrigerator facilities. The manager is busy equipping the rooms with more and more such things. What guests can expect is a very neat place to stay with a nice reception. The only disadvantage of Ukholo Lodge is that you can drive quite far if people want to stop on the other side of Citrusdal. However, for exploring Clanwilliam and Citrusdal, Ukholo Lodge is ideal.

Baie lekker!

Ons het 'n vriendelike ontvangs gehad en die bestuur het onmiddellik 'n besluit geneem om ons na 'n ander kamer te skuif toe ons die hoofpadgeraas uitlig. Die gehalte van die linne en handdoeke was goed, die bed gemaklik. En die kos was vyfstergehalte. Die ligging van die gastehuis is goed in die opsig dat mens in die natuur is en sommer gou die koppie agter die huis kan uitlim. Die enigste negatiewe punt is die feit dat die raserige N7 so naby is. Regtig iets om aan te beveel. Ek hoop hierdie jong man maak 'n groot sukses van sy besigheid.

Very nice!

We had a friendly welcome and the management immediately made a decision to move us to another room when we highlighted the main road noise. The quality of the linen and towels was good, the bed comfortable. And the food was five star quality. The location of the guest house is good in the sense that you are in nature and can easily climb the hill behind the house. The only negative point is the fact that the noisy N7 is so close. Really something to recommend. I hope this young man makes a big success of his business.

Gasvryheid en rus te vinde by Ukholo Lodge.

Ek was aangenaam verras deur die gasvryheid, vriendelikheid en goeie diens wat deur Benjamin en sy personeel by Ukholo Lodge aangebied was. Die kamers is ruim en gerieflike en die ontbyt wat ingesluit is by die koste is heerlik. Ek sal dit beslis aanraai vir enige persoon wat 'n sentrale blyplek nodig het om die Weskus verder te verken.

Hospitality and rest to be found at Ukholo Lodge.

I was pleasantly surprised by the hospitality, friendliness and good service offered by Benjamin and his staff at Ukholo Lodge. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and the breakfast included in the cost is delicious. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who needs a central place to stay to further explore the West Coast.

Sou graag langer as net een nag wou oorbly!

Ons is hartlik ontvang in 'n huis met uitstekende geriewe, veral vir ons serebraal gestremde kleindogter. Ons wens Benjamin Thompson net die allerbeste toe, mag die Here hom steeds seën en sy toekomsplanne suksesvol maak. Dit was 'n voorreg om by Ukholo oor te bly en met hom nader kennis te maak.

Lovely setting, attentative and knowledgable owner, close to the Cederberg hikes ... happiness!

While the place still needs some fixing up (work in progress!), the rooms are clean, functional and tastefully decorated. We had a great time, the dinners were very good and once again good value for money. The owner was present and offered good advice on the area. We will most definitely come back ... and with friends!

This accommodation and service need an urgent upgrade, then it should be fine.

Very peaceful atmosphere but too small to call "cottage", and no view - it was a long room at the back of the garage. Paint peeling off building and entrance door and no security gate. The cooking utensils were not adequate, the table cloth sticky (outside table), no dustbin, stove only supplied on request, and then the gas ran out. Microwave was faulty. Bed sloped towards the middle. No plugs for bedside lamp, no adaptor plug. After several problems the proprietor apologised for all the inconvenience and did not charge the second half of the fee. He promised to upgrade the facilities. The current photo on the website is misleading.

Kamer netjies, res van huis nie goeie indruk gegee.

Ons was uiters geskok in ontvangs. Kontakpersoon wat verskaf is, was nie daar en daar was geen bewys gevind dat ons bespreek was. Waarnemende persoon was sonder belangstelling, traag en onbeholpe. Het eienaar probeer skakel maar hul het geen landlyn geriewe. Eienaar ook nie beskikbaar / het nie foon geantwoord. Die akkommodasie is ook vir "Overlanders" ingerig wat weliswaar buite kampeer. Die kamer was netjies en modern ingerig. Die res van die huis is gewone leefhuis en kombuis ingerig vir groot groepe.

Room neat, rest of house not given a good impression.

We were extremely shocked in reception. Contact person provided was not there and no evidence was found that we were booked. Acting person was uninterested, sluggish and clumsy. Tried calling owner but they have no landline facilities. Owner also unavailable / did not answer phone. The accommodation is also set up for "Overlanders" who, admittedly, camp outside. The room was neatly and modernly furnished. The rest of the house is a regular living room and kitchen set up for large groups.

Very disappointing.

The manager had no knowledge of the area - and spoke only Afrikaans. The nearest village is 20 km away. To swim in the river pools you have to walk across a highway. The pool at the lodge was green and unusable. Breakfast was served without being given any choices (how you like your eggs etc.). Car washing and vacuuming by staff outside my bedroom window on a Saturday afternoon.
