Pleasant enough. A bit overpriced for what you got
Pros:

Room was spacious, great view

Cons:

Lack of cupboard space and electric points. The wheels on the oil heater were broken so we battled to move it. Carpet was dirty.

Peaceful, perfect for our needs.
Pros:

The breakfast was great. The rooms were warm in a chilly winter, and the shower was blissful and large! The bar fridge was a lifesaver. Loved the views and the location on the river.

Cons:

The restaurant that was advertised in permanently closed. There is no microwave in the room to heat bought food and no restaurant in safe walking distance.

Beautiful place for those visiting Velddrif!
Pros:

Stunning location at the mouth of the river! We were travelling for work, and were pleased with beautiful views. The rooms were comfortable and the breakfast was as expected. Friendly and helpful staff.

Cons:

The walls of the rooms were a bit thin so I could hear my neighbours, but this is expected in a shared space.
