Peaceful spot after hot days work

Even a few days after flooding as the Orange River rose and flooded their lawns - the BnB was immaculate. Great service - friendly staff - rooms had a lot of creature comforts. Will certainly consider them as a future stay in Upington. Breakfast were awesome.

Beautiful and Accomodating

We just stayed for one night after visiting the Kgalagadi, but the room was clean and modern. The back lawn is absolutely beautiful, with a small pool, lounge chairs, and a river-front view. It was perfect for what we needed, and the staff was very accommodating when I asked for an early breakfast before my flight!

Wir haben eine Nacht in dem Hotel gebucht und waren begeistert. Der Ausblick vom Zimmer auf den Fluss ist vor allem zum Sonneruntergang genial. Insgesamt ist der Außenbereich mit Garten, Pool und einigen Liegemöglichkeiten sehr schön angelegt und lädt zum entspannen ein. Die Zimmer sind geschmackvoll eingerichtet (hatten auch einen Kühlschrank) und sehr sauber geputzt. Ebenfalls sehr gut war das Frühstück

Ein paar Kleinigkeiten haben mich während dem Aufenthalt gestört. Zum einen fahren die Motorboote eines Wasserskianbieters immer vor dem Hotel auf und ab was die Idylle trübt. Ebenfalls schade fand ich die Lärmbelästigung anderer Gäste mit BlueTooth-Radios ohne nennenswerten Eingriff des Hotelpersonals. Dies hat sich immer weiter hochgeschaukelt, da sich die belästigt gefühlten Gäste damit beholfen haben ebenfalls Musik übers Handy etc. zu spielen bis man kaum mehr draußen sitzen konnte. Wenn ich ein Hotel zu diesem Preis buche möchte ich auch meine Ruhe haben und das sollte das Hotelpersonal auch einfordern.
