Ruigtevallei Lodge

The pool is well kept and the owners are friendly. There were lots of cute kittens running around. The view from the pool is very picturesque.

The room did not look like the photos. The shower had pink and blank mold and the doors lock didn't work so we had to sleep with our door unlocked. I understand that we booked the cheapest room and hence didn't have the best privacy, bbq facilities, a TV or a fridge, but we still expect a door that can lock and a shower without mold.

Swimming pool

There was no breakfast,got the message clarified that very late on our stay.Refund was promised but we never had it... The toilet overflow The window blinds were not working

Nothing

The location was perfect, as we wanted to be close to view the Gariep dam. It was also a really lovely farm stay to just relax by the gorgeous pool and chill with the sounds of the farm and the scenery soothing my senses.

I can't complain about anything, but I suppose the fact that the wi-fi is not accessible in the bedrooms can be an issue, but then it did not bother me as I sat outside by the pool overlooking the mountains whilst working on my laptop.

Convenient and perfect for a stop over on the road.

No WiFi in the room. Mosquitoes were quite annoying.

Convenient and value for money. Perfect for a stopover.

No WiFi in the rooms.

Facility not yet ready to operate Had to bring own water Were asked if we had our own towels as towels were not yet dry No breakfast available but were promised a refund No water when we arrived However the borehole at a later stage was connected

We liked the pool area. This is just basic accomodation and okay for a one- night stay.

Didn't like the shared kitchen and lounge. Was very smelly. Mosquitos galore in the room. Luckily we had brought with some spray.. No fridge in room nor microwave. Too many kittens around. Won't use it again.
