We even got offered a breakfast 'take-away', because we left early.

Breakfast included with the option of dinner on site.

Warm and friendly service, with delicious food, all on the beautiful sun set bank of the Orange River.

Waschbank was such a wonderful overnighting experience on our way to the Drakensberg in October, with a delicious dinner and breakfast, that we promptly booked our return stay there too ☺️  The brand new swimming pool and camping grounds overlooking the river, were in the final stages of completion on our return - looking amazing already!

Food was delicious and staff very friendly.

The river front, was the highlight along with the rooms and how clean they were, and of course the delicious breakfast.

Everything was great, from the check-in, our room, the location, and the dinner and breakfast.

however they still managed to serve us a mouth watering take away dinner and breakfast.

Room 1: Bathroom door must be planed, stuck to carpet.

.attention owner: DO NOT mingle with other guests during MIDNIGHT hours to avoid disturbing OTHER GUESTS right NEXT DOOR (extremely unprofessional).

Interleading door needs better sound proofing.

One set of our room doors were stuck shut, the curtains were tied up with string and wouldn’t open properly, the deck outside of our room was very worn, there were bare electrical wires behind the bed, there were several burned-out lightbulbs which we replaced after requesting from staff, there were broken floor tiles, the shower knobs didn’t work properly, and we couldn’t close the bathroom door without locking it.

although the setting was lovely, it was spoilt by the lack of power all night!!

Also, we had to unplug the fridge in our room because it was noisy and woke us up in the night.

Friendly service the, food was amazing and it is quiet and tranquil.

The staff were extremely helpful and very friendly.

Absolutely amazing place to stay, staff were super helpful and friendly, great service and food.

The rooms are exactly as advertised, everything works, the staff are very friendly and helpful and there are not many places where you can sit on a deck and watch the sun set over the Orange River.

Incredible place - surpassed our expectations - friendly staff - gorgeous pool - , clean, neat, tidy and comfortable - great food - not often a place is better than what you selected on the website - will be back

The lodge is beautifully positioned on the Orange River near the Gariep Dam.

Feeling so close to nature is really relaxing and Waschbank River Lodge is a great place to just rest and gain your enery again.

Sitting on the deck, watching the sunset is a perfect way to unwind after a long trip.

Fabulous, comfortable, and very relaxing.

Best decision you can make for a lovely peaceful stay.

A beautiful, peaceful and relaxing view of river at sunset is well is well worth a stopover.

We so enjoyed the beautiful tranquil views of the river - from our room, the restuarant deck & even down at the waters edge.

A  lovely, quiet and peaceful place to wind down.

Next morning, we left after a good breakfast and will return.

There was a choice of  Continental and English breakfast.

From booking to breakfast, to the view, to the beds, can’t fault!

The breakfast was outstanding and served in a beautiful lounge with a smile and a beautiful view.

Delicious breakfast available in the morning.

We were spoilt with a lovely breakfast overlooking the dam.

The breakfast the next morning was fit for a king and just what we needed for the long road trip back to Joburg.

Advertised breakfast as an extra R80-00 per person (quite high) not available.

Clean rooms great service and good breakfast.

A nice stay over place when travelling to the coast.The owners are friendly and helpful.Beautiful view of the Gariep Dam.Everything available that one needs with a very affordable,delicious breakfast.

Breakfast is consistent with a 3 star B&B.

A really tasty breakfast was served in a beautiful dining area.

Breakfast was totally scrumptious, what a treat.

Breakfast is offered for R75  per person and is adequate.

Breakfast are definitely recommended: delicious farm house breakfasts with great variety at a great price.

Full English Breakfast was served in a dining room with another lovely view.

Although we still paid a normal price, there was no warm water the first evening and the second evening the toilet wasn't working.

Breakfast was just what you need to start the day.

Food at stoneridge Guesthouse was delicious and plentiful.

Breakfast room spacious
made a lot of effort to ensure parking
Owner excellent personality

Thank you Michelle and special mention for the unexpectedly delicious and honest fare from Rustiq restaurant.

The breakfast was plentiful and most elicit us scrambled eggs.

She cooked up a tasty and substantial South African (game meat included) breakfast for us.

Breakfast was very nice and everything was clean and tidy.

We were so pleased with the accommodation, hospitality and breakfast that we booked again for our return journey.

And excellent service and delicious breakfast.

The breakfast was amazing and all prepared by Michelle herself.

The room was very clean and modern - view of the mountains beautiful - great breakfast and fellow guests very friendly.

The breakfast was freshly made by her and was also fine.

What a beautiful stay we had at Stoneridge 😍 beginning with the most friendly reception by Michelle, the comfiest sleep in a modern room, and woken to a scrumptious breakfast!

To send you on your way, a delicious breakfast and hot cup of coffee.

Hosts Michael and Michelle very hospitable and we enjoyed a delicious home cooked dinner and breakfast.

Maybe coffee and tea can be included at breakfast.

The only redeeming feature (since check out was already at 0900 and no breakfast was on offer) was a nice bathroom and a very friendly owner.

if check out time is 10: 00, it must apply to all  your guest regardless of skin colour.

but if you are booking make sure you check which bedroom you are booking and confirm the size bed.

Also, call ahead to see if your booking coincides with one of the Theatre evenings, i believe that they are special.

In two phone calls prior to arrival she was blunt and unfriendly.

Upon entering the room I reported that the room was not what we paid for as there was no four posted bed.

The only gripe we had was having to pay for drinking water as the tap water was not recommended.

I booked (and paid more for) a luxury room via Hotels.com (Expedia) and got a really sub standard room.

Just one negative that one needs to adress was the fact that 12 months ago it was a bed and breakfast included in the price and this year no breakfast and the price was also much more that last year.

but it was, none the less, comfortable.I thought it was a bit costly but it was all we could find for one night.

What we paid for the night is what we normally pay for our diner in the bedroom charge, quite an opener.

but as we have only the end number it seemed overpriced.

Slightly more expensive than the other offerings in town,

The other lodges we stayed at have never charged for this service.

The couple in the next room could not connect either.

The house was left open, so it would have been easy for them to write a note and let us know which room would be ours, so we would not have needed them there to check-in or they could have provided the WiFi Code so we could have contacted them via WhatsApp.

Had the lamb chops for dinner, delicious.

We stayed for breakfast which was very nice.

We booked for the buffet supper as was advised on the confirmation booking.

Dinner and breakfast are consistently excellent.

Breakfast overlooking the river was very good.

We had an "option 2" breakfast which was served in no time, toast, tea, coffee and juice.

The resort was well looked after and the food in the restaurant was delicious and not overly priced.

The chips that came with the meal were just scrumptious too.

What followed was  a skirmish over packets of Ricoffee and extra milk.

The buffet breakfast of everyday cereal, a punnet of yogurt, bread, eggs, bacon and a sausage was  just under R100 - we had to pay R18 a cup for filter coffee instead of the instant that was included..

We would have preferred filter coffee instead of the instant coffee served at breakfast though.

Also, there was only instant coffee at breakfast.

luckily we had a first aid kit in the car 

Beware of  a lot of noise when people in the upstairs unit move.

They also have beer in their bar :)
2 negatives I could mention is that there was no WIFI, the floor was a bit noisy upstairs.

Not great due to noisy neighbours right next door.

I was warned of the noise from the freeway,

but at the same time let in lots of noise from the families with young children who appear to be this resort's primary market.

The breakfast the next day was beautiful.
