Goeie waarde vir geld. Lekker kos by die restaurant.
Het by luukse staanplek oornag oppad Kaap toe. Die gewone staanplekke by water was onder konstruksie en nie beskikbaar nie. Was wel lekker en oord is pragtig versorg, netjies en diens was baie goed.
Ons was bespreek in die luxury chalets en die akkommodasie het ons verwagtinge oortref. Dis relatief onlangs gebou met afwerkings van gehalte. Die elektriese komberse op die beddens was baie welkom op ‘n koue Karoo-nag. Die hoogtepunt was die uitsig op die dam self. Hoewel die oord se restaurant self gesluit was vir opknapping, is goeie etes in die konferensie-saal bedien deur vriendelike personeel.
Dit is die ideale oornagplek met die ekstra bonus van ‘n pragtige uitsig. Die restaurant op die perseel is ook baie gerieflik.
The resort is well maintained. The staff are friendly and the meals provided in the restaurant as well as the service was great!
The location is amazing. The units and equipment is in a poor state. I was very disappointed. Furniture around the pool is very old and badly faded as well as dirty. The unit was spacious, but the beds were old and none of the doors leading to the outside area worked. The curtains had holes in them and are grey from age. The furniture was very dated and it appears to lack any form of maintenance. The shower also leaked completely. The state of the unit and facilities put a damper on our stay. The views are beautiful. The on-site restaurant did not have many of the menu items available either.
Dit was weereens ‘n plesier om daar te kamp. Alles word goed onderhou.
Staanplekke was baie netjies en skoon, die mense by ontvangs was vriendelik en behulpsaam, sal enige tyd weer soontoe gaan.
Skoon en netjies. Personeel vriendelik en behulpsaam.
Miskien meer toilette versprei tussen kampplekke.
Uitstekende diens, alle geriewe, pragtige, veilige en rustig.
Sal enige tyd vir ‘n hele vakansie daar gaan bly.
Dit sou net goed gewees het dat die bestuur meld dat hul swembaddens buitewerking weens onderhoud tydens bespreking. Baie dankie aan die personeel van Gariep wat my bespreking aanvaar het, al kon hulle nie die bespreking en betaling opspoor nie.
In winter they need to ensure that extra blankets and heaters are available. 1 door to the unit did not lock, their maintenance crew must ensure they fix defects prior to clients checking in.
Gerieflike, skoon, rustige akkommodasie relatief naby hoofroete na die Kaap, maar ver genoeg weg vanaf geraas van hoofroete.
Very friendly and helpful personnel. I would recommend the resort to all.
Perfect mid-way stop-over between Western Cape and Gauteng. Will definitely stay over again.
Was skoon en netjies. Kinders het die groot swembad baie geniet.
In geheel was dit baie lekker. Groot netjiese verblyf en is goed toegerus.
Ons was aangenaam verras met die opgradering wat gedoen is by die Luxury 2-slaapkamerchalets, lyk baie mooi. Enigste probleem was toe ons by ontvangs aangemeld het.
Ons het vroeër gearriveer as die inkloktyd. Ons het besluit om te gaan eet in die restaurant waar ons amper ‘n uur en ‘n half gewag het vir die kos. Net na 3 uur het ons die sleutels gekry vir die chalets. Toe ons by die chalets arriveer, het die personeel net begin om die chalets wat baie vuil wa,s begin skoonmaak. Ek het gevra om met die bestuurder te praat wat om verskoning gevra het omdat hul baie besig was en 2 meer mense gekry om te help. Die chalets was egter nie deeglik skoongemaak toe ons uiteindelik kon ingaan nie. Ons het al in die karavaanpark oorgeslaap, maar sal definitief nie weer die chalets bespreek nie. Oor die algemeen was die oord in ‘n swakker kondisie as die vorige keer wat ons oorgeslaap het.
Baie netjiese chalets in ‘n veilige omgewing. Die restaurant se kliëntediens was baie stadig en die helfte van die kos was nie op die spyskaart. Teleurstelling.
Was regtig verbaas oor die puik chalets, sou graag langer daar wou bly.
Breathtaking! Our cottage was on the dam with just a railing in front. To the left there were little sailboats on the water. Best views and sunset! Accommodation very clean. Large, beautifully tended estate. Paradise for children!
Ons as gesin het dit baie geniet.
Tyd baie geniet. So mooi om kinders te sien rondhardloop, lag, visvang en fietsry, sonder ouer se toesig in die donker. So laat terugdink aan hoe ek groot geword het.
Baie beïndruk met flinke diens en eenhede is baie netjies en instand gehou. Volgende keer sal ons langer wil vertoef!
The resort is beautiful with great facilities. Unfortunately we arrived late and had to leave the next morning which meant that we could not utilize all the facilities. The chalet, however, was well equipped and super clean. The only problem we had was that we arrived after the reception was closed for the day and our reservation was not on the list. It took some sorting out with the people at the gate.
Die diens by die ontvangs was baie stadig.
Ons het ons verblyf by Gariepdam geniet. Chalets pragtig en skoon. Sal beslis aanbeveel. Tuine in en om die oord is netjies. Hou aan met die puik diens. Personeel was ook baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.
Ons het 1 aand by Gariep, a Forever Resort, oorgeslaap. Die eenheid was netjies en goed toegerus. Gedurende die nag is by die eenheid langsaan ons ingebreek en niemand kon die aand verder slaap nie. Ons eie eenheid se kamervenster, kombuisvenster en skuifdeur het tekens getoon van vorige inbrake bv. glas wat nie pas by die res nie en stukkende venster wat met ‘n ekstra stukkie glas bo-oor reggemaak is. Die hulp van die oord se sekuriteitspersoneel daardie nag was baie swak. Die polisie het bevestig dat ons eenheid en die eenheid langsaan gedurig by ingebreek word. Ons sal nie graag weer na hierdie oord wil terugkeer nie.
Ons was sommer baie beïndruk met die oord by Gariep. Die chalet was pragtig, en met alles wat nodig is toegerus. Die swembaddens, trampoliens en put-put is in ‘n goeie toestand. Volgende keer bly ons langer.
Wag baie lank om in te boek. Stort was gebreek. Toilet en stort het gestink. Geraas word toegelaat tot vroegoggendure so rus elders sou jy oorslaap om verder te reis.
Nadat trainee by ontvangs fout maak met voertuig permit, word geen verskoning aangebied nie en geen WiFi in restaurant area.
Goed toegerus en ruim.
Uitstekende geriewe. Beveel beslis aan vir gesinne en waterliefhebbers.
Goeie kampgeriewe en ablusies was skoon en netjies.
Ek en my vrou het ‘n heerlike verblyf gehad saam met ons 2 moeders (over 80’s) wat heel impressed was met die mooi view oor die dam. Die oord word goed onderhou en was mooi skoon en netjies oral waar ons was. Restaurant se personeel vriendelik en kos heel goed, dankie. Sien definitief weer binnekort op ons reise!
Ons het al vantevore ook by Gariep Resort gebly. Elke keer was dit ‘n heerlike ontspanne tyd gewees. Chalets is goed ingerig, vir een nag of ‘n week of meer. Hierdie keer het ons met n “huis trek” afgekom, en die vriendelike personeel het ons na ‘n ander chalet geskuif wat die sleepwaens, motors en trek beter kon akkommodeer. Báie dankie, Gariep Resort!
There is really nothing which I would like to be changed.
Unit 36 in very poor repair. Reported some faults to managements.
We visited the Forever Resort at Gariep Dam in the middle of winter so the resort was almost deserted. Regrettably the drought had caused the water level to drop drastically, almost to the point where the harbour is mostly empty with boats stranded out of water – nothing like the picture on the website. We had hoped for a boat trip on the dam but this was not on offer at the time we visited. However I think with normal water levels and during the holiday season this resort should be excellent.
Dit was bitter koud. Die warm stort is ‘n wenner en die elektriese komberse was lewensredders.
Ons was aangenaam verras met die netheid en algemene indruk van die oord. Die verblyf is baie netjies en skoon en het alles wat jy kan nodig kry.
Ons gebruik Gariep gereeld en kan nooit kla oor enige iets nie. Hierdie keer egter was daar ‘n probleem met die warmwatersilinder wat hul nie kon uitsorteer terwyl ons daar was nie. Mnr. Adriaan Harper het my egter persoonlik gekontak en om verskoning gevra en ook vir ons ‘n gratis prys gegee. Die diens by Gariep is baie professioneel en ek sal altyd daar oorslaap.
Volledige toegeruste chalets met ‘n pragtige uitsig oor die dam. Veilig vir kinders en ontspanne vir ouers. Chalets is lekker ruim en snoesig, veral in die winter!
We stayed at Gariepdam in winter, so the dam was low, however our stay was cold but lovely, the place was clean, well kept, staff was friendly. They quickly tended to a problem we had with a blocked drain. Next time we will stay longer.
We will visit Gariepdam again.
Ontvangs was vriendelik en professioneel. Die huisie was modern, netjies en silwerskoon. Uitsig was pragtig. Heerlik oornag!
Sekuriteit by die hek was oningelig oor ons verblyf-betalings en het ons meer as 30 minute laat wag voordat ons uiteindelik toegang gekry het.
Dit was ‘n heerlike wegbreek geleentheid. Sal beslis were Gariepdam besoek.
Die oord bied baie goeie waarde vir geld, en is ideaal vir ‘n gesin met genoeg afleiding om die kinders te vermaak. Besonder lekker. Kan dit sterk aanbeveel.
Mense (dagbesoekers) wat by die swembad gekuier het los hul vullis net so op die gras. Hulle het baie lawaai met hul musiek en geen respek vir medemense nie en swem met gewone klere. Die aand was daar geen beligting (straatligte) in die karavaanpark nie en baie donker. Die restaurant is ‘n groot pluspunt met vriendelike mense by ontvangs wat baie behulpsaam is. Aand was rustig en het goed geslaap.
Ons was baie moeg en het die geriewe voldoende gevind om uit te rus vir die lang pad. Restaurant-ete baie gerieflik in die omstandighede.
Heerlik ontspan vir die nag en krag gehad vir die volgende dag se verder reis.
