Guest Reviews
- Mandy (7/5): Lovely - Perfect for one night
- Heidi (7/5): - The view
The location There was nowhere for my dog to toilet, despite being dog friendly
The outdoor seating area was also the driveway
The chalet was functional. No more. No Bedside lamps or other little things.mm
- Fouche (10/5): -
- Davel (10/5): -
- Tina (8/5): -
- Natalie (10/5): - The place was spacious, comfy and so we'll set out with beautiful views NA
- Anita (10/5): Fantastic!!! - Great host. Very communicative. Fantastic facility. Will visit again. Highly recommended.
- Neil (7/5): Very average - It had all clean amenities We expected the picture you see on the website but we did not read the small print which says you need to look at each individual room. Although we had a dam
facing room we were on the driveway and no place to sit outside. Took a long time for hot water to come through the pipes and only a bath in the room we had
- Teboho (10/5): - The view Weather was not our side but we did enjoy.
- Nomonde (8/5): The acomodatin is stunning and very classy to improve on the alternative gate path - security was top notch, room very clean. friendly staff. To improve by putting loose carpet next to bed to step. Also to put toilet brushes and toilet spray.
- Gerda (9/5): A comfortable overlay after a long trip. Excellent view. - Beautiful view, clean, comfortable, value for money No complaints
- Lucas (9/5): -
- Eric (9/5): -
- Richard (8/5): - Entrance into our unit under raining conditions was appalling and no proper mat to wipe wet and muddy shoes
- Farhad Mahomed (9/5): -
- Lara (7/5): - Location was nice & the room was neat. Good value for money overall. There were dogs barking in the property and not a lot of privacy.
- jan (10/5): Wonderful. - Even we arrived late, everything was arranged and no problems to enter the premises. The room are well maintained and will use it again. Thank you management. Unfortunately it was raining, so could not spend time outside. But again we do not say no to rain. The room was nice and warm.
- Kanika (5/5): Good location and nice apartment but horrible bed. - The location was good and the view beautiful.
The apartment is clean and on the ground floor, so easily accessible. It was raining when we arrived. The gate is not motorized so we had to open it in the rain.
There was a lot of water and mud that accumulated at the gate which made driving up the very steep driveway a problem as the wheels of the car kept spinning in the mud.
There was no hot water on the evening that we arrived. We were only able to shower the following morning.
The bed was very hard and it felt like you were lying on rocks.
- Moreki (6/5): I was just satisfied - Location Entrance
- Kanika (5/5): Very uncomfortable bed, despite the lovely apartment and the stunning view. - The apartment is on the ground floor and easily accessible.
There are two double beds so the unit can sleep more than two.
It is clean and neat.
Communication from the hosts was prompt and very informative.
The kitchen is small, which is fine for an overnight stay, but not practical for an extended stay, as there is nowhere to unpack any groceries. There are also no proper cupboards with space to unpack and hang up clothes, just shelves against the wall. The gate is not motorised and needs to be opened and closed by hand. Not very nice when it is raining.
The driveway is very steep and slippery.
The beds are awful. They are very hard and uncomfortable. You could just as well have slept on the floor.
Having driven all day and another day of driving ahead, we would've liked to get a good night's sleep. Unfortunately, this was not the case.
I didn't read the reviews before booking and saw afterwards that the beds have been mentioned numerous times. Sad that the hosts haven't taken this to heart.
There are not a lot of restaurant options, but this is not the property's fault.
The one suggestion no longer exists.
We ate at the Forever Resort. There were only three tables, and it took nearly an hour to get our food.
- Louw (7/5): Adaquate. - Had everything we needed for a quick stop-over Choice of coffee (ricoffee), but that’s a personal preference.
- Joubert (1/5): - Photos on website VERY MISLEADINH
- George (6/5): - Modern No bed lights for people that read. No space for toiletries in bathroom
- ABOOBAKER (6/5): winter suite a no no for us - The view , cleanliness owner was in contact with check in details We had the suite upstairs it was big and for winter it is very cold ( summer will be ok ) the air conditioner did not work on hot we did what the owner told us to get it working and we googled to no avail some windows no curtains can see the outside lights so we did not sleep and cold air coming from somewhere we were cold bad experience and our own experience bed was hard on cement why don’t people just leave extra good blankets ( there was a thin blanket extra it did nothing )
- Adrienne (8/5): -
- Will (7/5): Location is excellent, fantastic view - Location Could be better furniture
- Guest (7/5): -
- Koen (8/5): - The unit was beautiful and clean and perfect for a one-night stay over. No privacy as people from the neighbouring unit drives and walks past our sliding door when going in or out. You could also hear sound from neighbouring units, even the closing of cupboards.
- Victoria (1/5): - The property is a construction site. It is sad that I vacated my home to get away from a renovation site, yet I paid money for a vacation on a construction site.
My room was adjacent to the housekeeping hub. The continual sound of a running laundry machine disturbed the peace I needed while I was trying to rest for the next leg of my journey.
- Moira (9/5): - Bed was comfortable and the shower fantastic. Had what we required for a 1 night stay. The gate wasn't working and walking up and down a very steep incline to open and close it, was not ideal. Also some of the lights in our room didn't work.
- Jeffrey (5/5): -
- marietjie du plessis (8/5): -
- Francois (7/5): for 1 night only it was acceptable - Shower in the living area
- Hermi (8/5): - The place has a beautiful view and is spacious Unfortunately there is still building activities and the building is a semi completed site. Would love to stay when completed
- Jaco (10/5): Had a lekker stay - Very nice Very nice
- Johan (6/5): - Bed was uncomfortable
There was cockroaches in the kitchen.
- Jade (4/5): - Amazing view and very clean. Host was very friendly and sent all relevant info well in advance. I stayed in the suite and had the worst night's sleep that I have ever had whilst travelling. As a result I was exhausted the next day which really affected me while driving the rest of the way to Wilderness. The mattress was so hard it was like sleeping on piece of concrete. In addition only 50 percent of the unit has curtains which meant that there were bright street lights shining in throughout the night, keeping me awake.
- CORNELIUS (9/5): will recommend - view and cleanliness
- Johannes (7/5): - Spectacular view, walking distance from restaurant. Very clean and neat Stove wasnt working so no coffee as kettle only works on gas stove. Wasnt very happy to start my day/travels without my shot of caffeine
- Marline (8/5): - Everything was great.. I only missed a hairdryer in the room. The automatic door lock was interfered by the curtains and made constantly noise. A few pictures on the walls?
- Carmen (8/5): -
- Ilona (10/5): -
- Michelle (8/5): - Lovely view of the Gariep dam Nothing
- Sugandree (6/5): Comfortable overnight stay - Location and comfortable for a night stay Parking is a challenge and steep driveway
- Naicker (8/5): -
- Pat (8/5): -
- Pieter (7/5): - The sliding door curtain irritates the door exit sensor and door will often try to open even at night.
When opening the curtain, the street light shines in your eyes 😒
- Steven (8/5): - Unit was clean and a good place to layover The bed
- Mauritz (10/5): Lekker stay at Gariepview - The view
The cleanliness The front door made a noise
- leon (8/5): -
- Claudell (10/5): -
- Johan (9/5): Nice and clean Like the view - No breakfast No showers
- Colin (10/5): Fabulous open lan apartment overlooking the lake - Fantastic views over the lake, secure parking and apartment entrance. Some windows had no curtains so the room was very bright at sunrise
- Linda (3/5): Never again. - Nothing. We were mot allocated the room we paid for. I am yet to receive an apology or a refund. It’s misrepresented on the site. It has a beautiful view but you have to sit on a garden chair in the driveway to appreciate it. Yhe most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept on. Everything. Maybe they should finalise construction before renting out rooms. Also, the braai facilities?! It’s a joke.
- Elize (10/5): -
- Valerie (1/5): Very disappointed. - Not at all The room.
Not the same as advertised.
- Lip (8/5): Overnight stay - Clean and neat
- Sonja (10/5): -
- Gabi (8/5): Overall, a great spot with a helpful host that with a few tweaks this could be 10/10 - We had a lovely overnight stay at the unit. The views were stunning , the space was clean and well-maintained. The host had good communication at time of booking a d was incredibly helpful when arriving! The only downside for me was that the bed was quite hard, which made it a bit difficult to get a comfortable night’s sleep. That being said my son loved it so maybe my bones are just not as young!
A few small suggestions that could make the stay incredible:
Electrifying the gate for added convenience and security.
Allow a slightly wider turning space when accessing the parking on the right.
Add some color to make the room less clinical. (Maybe art, different colour bedding?)
The bed in second bedroom space should be moved on the opposite walls, include some side tables so that guests could have access to the plug points for charging devices.
Provide long-life milk sachets for coffee (especially for those overnight stays)
- Lynn (8/5): A good place to stopover between the Cape and Jhb. - The room was basic but good for an overnight stay.
- De Witt (10/5): - Location and clean facility Your false advertising by posting incorrect pictures of the rooms. It's will prevent me of not using your service again
- Bongani (5/5): - The site view and the place is clean The bed uncomfortable
Slept with open door curtain because it makes the door magnetic system noisy.
Could not watch ARSENAL GAME because DSTV decoder disconnected from the main server
- Corstiaan (10/5): -
- Jason (7/5): -
- Jan (8/5): - Location, view, cleanliness and value for money. None
- Nkuna (10/5): -
- Hai (10/5): - Shower is nice, bed is good, room is clean. parking can be tricky depends on which unit you booked.
Aircon run short of gas i do believe, and aircon indoor wind direction cannot be adjusted.
Otherwise is good
- Zandile (8/5): -
- Marie (10/5): - Second time stayover. Beautiful view and accommodation. Nothing
- Dawn (7/5): - View was excellent. Location was good. Renovations/building taking place, the front electric gate was not operational so the parking wasn’t totally secure.
- Philani (7/5): it was a good stay considering the location for Dam View, Sun Rise and outside sitting area - The location was, close to the Gariep Dam View point. Gariep Hotel, Gariep Resort Shops and it was very clean with enough parking, sitting and braai area
Great spot for Sun Rise you must open the main gate manually, just off the car which posses safety concerns especially at night
the room that was advertised on booking.com was note the room we stayed at, rooms set up must be clearly described with clear pics on Booking.com, we were under the impression that we staying at the room above with Dam view and all, only to find out our room was on ground floor and not facing the dam
- Ivanov (9/5): - I received detailed information on how to reach
and access the place. It is very well equipped and clean. I will definitely stop there again.
- Dirk (8/5): Satisfactory. - Location and view great. No breakfast. Building alterations in progress.
- Ilona (9/5): -
- de Beer (8/5): -
- Anna Maria (10/5): Absolute perfection - Everything Nothing
- Kobus (7/5): - The room was very clean with a great view over the Gariep dam. Gas stove could not be use. I have opened the isolating valve under the zinc but no gasflow to ignite.
The curtain at the sliding door should be altered as it activate the doorlock sensor. You have to leave the curtain open to prevent activation.
- Dr Rika ( HJ) (8/5): - Advertised as petfriendly, only paving in front of chalets.
- Gail (10/5): - Spotlessly clean, spacious, bed very comfortable. Aircon was a blessing in the heat.
- Ashleigh (8/5): Clean, and easy to get in great view - Everything was lovely good for a stop over one night before heading on the road again
- Reinoud (10/5): - Value for money and friendly staff
- Payne (8/5): Comfortable stop over - The exterior definitely needs painting....I understand that this was about to happen. May some landscaping.
- Anita (10/5): - Clean, neat, spacious and private The drive way and turning left or right to parking area
- House (6/5): -
- Ronel (10/5): Very nice excellent view value for money - Everything was excellent man very spacious modern and user friendley
- Cameron Brisbane (8/5): Beautiful view if you choose the right unit - The elevated view over Gariep Dam The room description was misleading, a mountain view was an inner courtyard view. Our host kindly moved us at no extra cost. The kitchen area is cramped, I am 1.75 metres and could not reach the toaster.
- Makatleho (5/5): -
- Tom (1/5): - The room is not the one in the picture sent to me and did not have the panoramic view shown in the picture plus we were without water and electricity all of the night and the following morning.
- Van Rensburg (10/5): Wonderful !! -
- Andre (8/5): -
- Vickey-Ann (5/5): - Cleanliness Rock hard bed
- Duvenhage (9/5): - Well planned everyyhing we need!
- Louise (7/5): -
- Lizandra (7/5): - The room was tidy, neat and clean.
The bed was very comfortable! No shaded parking.
Main gate does not work and you have to open it yourself, can't lock.
Unfinished construction which is a sore eye.
At the back of the room was a locked door and there was a light that was on which shines through the room at night.
- Scholtz (3/5): Disappointed - The view was nice, room was clean The photos on the website are deceiving. No shower, no complementry drinking water. Bed as hard as a rock, with a light shinning into your face the whole night through a glass door right by the bed.
- Andre (10/5): Great view with a great location.Room is comfortable and well equipped. - View and Aircon was
Great. Parking with trailers is quite hard’ with uphill entrance.
- Michele (10/5): - Absolutely stunning and spacious with an amazing view over the dam.
- Ismail (10/5): - Comfortable
- Antonio (10/5): -
- Tiago (9/5): Practical and comfortable - Spices provided and cleanliness. All amenities are there Nothing, besides the gate not working
