From the minute we arrived it was instant relaxation and rest. Heartfelt greeting on arrival and nothing was too much trouble. Our hostess, Phumzi, was an absolute gem and always had a smile. Wonderful stay and we will definitely be visiting again. A huge thanks to Tidewaters River Lodge for hosting us.

Personeel baie vriendelik, kamer baie skoon en netjies met goedversorgde tuin. Kamer waarin ons gebly het, kort lugversoring. Waaier is onvoldoende en die kamer word baie warm. Daar is ‘n gebrek aan natuurlike sonlig in die betrokke kamer. Verkies ‘n variasie vir ontbyt.

Baie lekker gebly. Behalwe dat ons kamer nie ‘n aircon gehad het op een van die warmste dae van die jaar was dit ‘n uitstekende kuiertjie. Die swembad het ons wel lekker afgekoel.

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.

Hierdie gastehuis kan ons regtig aanbeveel. Absoluut ‘n ware rusplek vir enige reisiger. Vriendelike personeel, pragtige skoon kamer en selfs aandete word na jou kamer gebring. Van al die gaste huise wat ons oor die jare by gebly het, sal ons hierdie gastehuis onder die top 3 plaas. Baie dankie.

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.

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.

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.
