Local area description
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
