Für einen kleinen Abstecher in die Wildnis ganz nett, als schnellen Zwischenstopp nicht zu empfehlen
Pros:

Die Lage ist etwas besonderes, weg von den üblichen Touristenrouten. Wenn man dort 2-3 Nächte verbringt und die Gelegenheit nutzt sich ein Hausboot zu mieten, ist das eine nette Abwechslung. Wir haben das Hotel gebucht um die Anreise nach George zu halbieren. Dafür ist die Lage nicht wirklich geeignet, da die Anfahrt-/Abfahrt jeweils ca. 30km über Schotterpiste erfolgt, was ca. 50min dauert und einen kaputten Rücken verursacht.

Cons:

Das Zimmer war sehr einfach ausgestattet und hat etwas schmuddelig gewirkt

A gem waiting to shine
Pros:

This little place has so much potential. Beautiful location and gardens. Crossing the Breede River on the pont is a highlight.

Cons:

Our first room was dark and outdated. The bathroom had an open shower which is not a good idea. The manager kindly moved us on oir second nigbt to a family room which was much bigger and had a proper shower and view.

Pros:

Eigenaar is erg vriendelijk. En kamers voor gezin perfect, veel ruimte. Badkamer schoon en balkon. Gezellig toen we aankwamen.
Pontje is gratis, wel tip gevraagd aan toeristen maar prima, hadden we sowieso wel gedaan.
Bar en pooltafel leuk.
Gemakkelijk parkeren.
De off road route via de pont was erg leuk! Komt van alles tegen qua dieren.

Cons:

Meeste personeel is erg chagrijnig en vooral het barmeisje, waardoor geen sfeer. Die man en 1 serveerster wel vriendelijk maar dit nog niet eerder meegemaakt in dit land.
Voor de prijs/kwaliteit vond ik het eten niet goed. Ontbijt zelfs slecht. Met veel moeite werd er een eitje voor je gemaakt.
Drankjes en wijn bij het eten zijn 1,5x de prijs die we gewend zijn te betale in restaurants.

Pros:

Kleine Unterkunft, für eine Nacht ok.

Cons:

Leider war das Zimmrr nicht sehr sauber.
Liegt aber vielleicht auch an dem "deutschen Standard" den man sonst gewöhnt ist.
