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.

Thank you for a comfortable & clean room.

Rooms are clean and spacious with a splash pool for the kids to enjoy while enjoying a cold refreshment on the “stoep” with a view.

Great Service with comfortable rooms that are neat.

Our room was clean and comfortable and the evening meal that was offered to us when we booked was delicious.

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful, peaceful setting on the edge of the Orange River with the sound of the rapids to calm the soul.

Not sure which is worse not a TV or having one that we couldn't use.

The rooms are clean and we are able to take out dog with us which is important to us.

A good choice for travellers wanting a clean room halfway between Cape Town and Johannesburg.

water

the bed slopes to one side and the basin in the bath room does the same.

not much vegetarian food 
Could have better showers and maybe a bin in the room , Overall

We were two couples that recently spent a night at this hotel on our way back from Cape Town.This hotel is much to be desired.The rooms are atrocious and the bathroom pathetic.The only plus factor is the view of the dam

I am 1.84m and i had to lift my arms to get over the bathroom basin its so high!!

Furniture is delapidated with signs of water damage in the bathroom; bathrooms, especially the showers, need a good scrub; food is nice

Toilet seat looks like it was installed when hotel was build.

Sleep was disturbed by showers and slamming doors  between 3:00 and 4:00.

but make it cold and looks kind of dirty - from the sun shining in you could see where it had been brushed in the middle but not around the sides of the room, so walking on the floor left your feet dirty after a shower.

Only one bathroom (probably should have noticed in the information given) and no air conditioning.

A basin in the small kitchen is available for washing cups

but for the price it is not acceptable that a self-catering apartment doesnt have a basic set of dishes or that the dishes i received were dirty.

Floor gives you the look that its very dirty.

Great location, staff friendly and helpful!

We loved the view, the service is very good and friendly staff attended to our needs, even when there was an electrical problem.

Stayed overnight on my way up from Port Alfred to JHB and was pleasantly surprised by the amazing views, clean and neat rooms, friendly staff and amazing food.

The staff were friendly and very helpful, the lamb shank dinner and omelette breakfast were both delicious.

The staff were all friendly and the pool was a welcome cool-off in the hot weather.

Staff were vey friendly and super helpful.

Check out early morning was again seamless and friendly.

The food is absolutely amazing, the rooms are clean and spacious, friendly and helpful staff .

High quality accommodation with comfortably appointed rooms, friendly staff, excellent food.

Friendly reception staff, really large room - 2 queen size beds, balcony with a view of the dam.

The staff were friendly and helpful and the bar was quick with good service.

Friendly staff, clean, well looked after property with excellent view of the dam.

The bar was pleasant with friendly staff.

Although we can notice sone changes to the menu, the quality of the food was disappointing and poor value for money.

We needed a halfway stop between Jo’burg and Cape Town and we were unsure about DeStijl because of the number of poor reviews.

In summary, it is an expensive stay in a convenient location, offering poor food.

After staying at many other places throughout SA we feel that the price is a little high.

The meal in the restaurant was pricey and really not good, tough lamb and overcooked eggy creme brulee.

Eventually when we paid the GM for teas we were introduced to one of the TWO restaurant managers,

Its definitely overpriced for the service&quality you receive!

For the type of hotel and cost of the room, I would have expected a LCD against the wall and double the screen size.

but expensive and we were surprised to find that a cooked breakfast was not included in the bed and breakfast rate - we were told that only cereal and fruit was included.

We ate in the restaurant both nights of our stay and found the food to be tasty, varied, plentiful and well priced.

We booked into the 'Good Hope' suite at a cost of R2 450 excluding breakfast.

The room was spotless and the only thing missing would have been a bar fridge and a better variety of channels on dstv.

The rooms were clean whilst the view from them is fantastic.

rooms are very clean, staff very friendly and skilled, breakfast improved compared to 2017. good value for money.

The rooms are very clean and neat and have a nice lay-out.

Stayed over for the weekend and enjoyed every moment of it,from the exceptional staff,immaculate rooms with the views to the incredible food and drinks by the restaurant,literally everything at that hotel was exceptional,so much so we’re already planning a trip back

The rooms are spacious, the location is great, as the view over the dam was stunning!

Currently, while the rooms are spacious and clean, there is a feeling of neglect.

The rooms were spacious with its own balcony.

Excellent half way stop with clean & spacious rooms and staff who really make it feel like home.

The service was excellent, rooms very spacious & modern, breathtaking views of the dam.

but quickly supplied by reception on request.

We arrived shortly before sunset so were welcomed by the most glorious pink and gold clouds over the dam.

service assistant at reception great, as was the apologetic waitron at the lengthy dinner delay.

The team at De Stijl Gariep Hotel delivered exceptional service.

Always a good place to stay if you are traveling between the Cape and Gauteng, good value for money and convenient, rooms have a great view of the dam and you are greeted in the morning with a beautiful sunrise

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.

Great quality food and service and well kept clean rooms.

The staff/owners are very friendly and helpful, Our room was clean and very affordable, with a great view right on the Orange River bank.

Rooms r very clean and they r willing to accommodate vegans - they even cooked 3 meals for my dogs - never disappointed and I have stayed here 4 times.
