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.

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.

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.

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.

The setting is great - walked out onto green lawns going down to the river and were entertained by friendly springbuck! Most welcome a/c in the room on a very hot day.

Not much - there is Wi-Fi but not in the rooms was our only ‘complaint’

Lovely view over the grass lawn and Orange river. Spacious grounds and spots to sit and enjoy a sundowner. Staff offered ice and wood for a barbeque.
