Nach Vorlage der Buchungsbestätigung haben wir ein Zimmer mit Gartenblick und eigenem Balkon erhalten. Das Zimmer war sauber, das Bett bequem. Im Bad hat man sich allerdings unwillkürlich am Handtuchhalter gestoßen. Die Tür hatte kein ursprüngliches Schanier mehr. Wir waren fast alleine im Hotel. Das Hotel ist von einem Zaun umgeben, was für ein gewisses Sicherheitsgefühl sorgt (Zaun/Mauer ist aber Standard in SA). Das Hotel selber liegt nicht gerade zentral, hat aber ein Restaurant. Hier wurde uns ein sehr leckeres und auch günstiges vegatarisches Essen zubereitet. Alle Bedienstesten waren sehr nett. Das inbegriffene Frühstück war etwas spartanisch. ##### Stefan Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helmut 31 Jan 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Super Service, sauberes Zimmer und Pool. ##### Helmut Stayed 1 night in Jan 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### George 8 Dec 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The Lodge was up to its normal high standard in most aspects, including the ever friendly staff. The only problem experienced was the alarm that kept going off during the early hours of Sunday morning ##### George Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Henry 27 Apr 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent Guesthouse Absolutely outstanding ! Myself and my staff have stayed here before and it is always outstanding. The staff are extremely accommodating, helpful and professional. Everything one would expect from a well run establishment.
