Our host was very warm and welcoming. Very informative, including telling us where we could go and eat. Rooms very clean. An ideal stopover, after a long drive.
The furnishings in the room were fairly rudimentary, but comfortable.

Location is good. View was great. Shower was good. Bed was comfortable.
1) not having an open patio, 2) windows did not stay open and 3) aircon barely kept the room cool, 4) no waste bin in the kitchen, 5) The name on Booking.com ("Gariep View") is not the name of the venue which is "View Lodge" so we had to call the manager to find out where to go, 6) The GPS for "Gariep View" is also incorrect and should be fixed.

Sofas not very comfortable

It’s facilities plus it’s super serenity, perched high overlooking the dam. It’s breathtakingly beautiful
All thanks to load shedding, it got chilly in the room though there’s a back up for lights. Not a fault of the property.

The beds were extremely comfortable and we had a good night rest. The view was exactly what we wished for. The sunrise was beautiful over the lake. The receptionist made us feel like family right away and was very helpful. We were able to have delicious food delivered to our room from a local restaurent. An awesome stay!!!
Everything was to our liking👍

My 3rd time booking and always love staying in Gariep Dam and View Lodge. Lovely views from balcony of dam and hostess was contacted us during the trip to give updates and to find out how we are and made plans for us arriving late.
Only the main shower head needs a little attention but other than that no issues

Location was good for an overnighter. It would be lovely to have a meal on the premises as the view is so good.

The location was great with beautiful views from the living area upstairs. The reception staff were very friendly and accommodating.
The unit is in need of some maintenance. Toilets kept leaking when you flush. Towel Hooks were broken. Dinner plates far too big. Didn't fit into small microwave and kitchen sink.

The vie and the pool.
Last time we stayed we had a. upstairs room which was better than the room we were allocated this time. I understood that they had problems with the upstairs rooms. We made tea in the morning only to discover that the milk suppled was off.
