The lodge is situated on the banks of the Orange River. There is a deck where you can relax. Springboks are wandering on the grounds. The room is comfortable.

Breakfast was included in the price, but if you were not there early, we found it cold and not worth the R150 we paid per person. We also expected a bit more for the price we paid - an electric blanket would be a nice touch. The parking was quite a distance from the room, so we had to carry a lot of heavy things to our room and back, because there is a problem with theft in Upington, and we did not want to take our camping equipment out of the secure parking area into the town.

we arrived very tired after a long hot journey with our two dogs, as when I booked, this was one of the places, that said it was pet friendly, but that had recently been changed because they now had springbok. The lady on reception was extremely helpful, and organised a room with a fenced garden for our dogs. so we were really grateful.

I didn't like the fact that we were miss led, by Booking.com saying the place was pet friendly when it wasn't.

The location was absolutely stunning. The decks on the river are a great spot for a cafe or a beer at sunrise or sunset. The rooms were lovely and clean. The staff were friendly and approachable. Fully recommend.

The breakfast was the only thing I took issue with, it was not up to the standards of the rest of the facilities and the environment. I think it can easily be improved by having more varied options in terms of what to serve.

Wow, this place really blew us away. If you happen to be travelling close to Upington then stay a night or more here. In the banks of the orange river with wildlife and buck right on your doorstep. We made a very last minute booking and despite this the hosts did everything that they could to make our stay special.

I can’t think of anything.

We enjoyed the calmness of this lodge with an olde-worlde feel to it. It is in a great location and we were lucky to get a room with lovely views to the Orange River and a resident small springbok family in the large gardens.

What a peaceful and tranquil little place right on the Orange River! Close to everything we needed and the airport. Very good breakfast and love Linda's big smile and service.

Nothing not too like!

The setting is amazing, on the banks of the Orange River. It was a full flowing river, probably added to the setting. The gardens are beautifully maintained with 3 tame and friendly Springbok roaming. The room was comfortable with a great view over the river. Well located, with an amazing restaurant just a couple kilometers away (Red Ox - well worth a visit).

No complaints, certainly nothing comes to mind. We enjoyed our stay so much we changed our trip to return for another night before heading home.
