Gaikou Lodge 's response
Dear Charl
I trust you are well.
Charl, I would like to sincerely apologise for the poor condition in which you received the room you and your wife stayed in.
I know this email should have been answered immediately upon receiving and for that I am truly sorry.
I have been appointed as the new General Manager of Gaikou Lodge and given strict instructions to up the service quality and standards of the lodge. I started yesterday and can assure you I will make work of your complaints to avoid any other guests from experiencing the same things you did.
Should you ever be in the area again, please come and have a cup of coffee with me so that I can show you what improvements we have made.
Once again, I do apologise for the inconvenience caused.
Kind regards
General Manager

Very pleasant.
I overslept one night. Very neat and friendly reception. The emergency light for load shedding helped a lot. Beautiful outdoor area with barbecue facilities. The internet was erratic.

Unforgettable, hospitable, breathtaking landscape.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. Rooms are neat and clean and the environment around the lodge is well maintained. There is a lot to do such as fishing, walking (the river walk is very peaceful), golf, swimming and more. Definitely worth visiting.

Salig weens die rustigheid van die omgewing en ruim verblyf.
This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.
Blissful because of the tranquility of the surroundings and spacious accommodation.
For the price, we expected more attention to the finer details. The coffee and tea were basic and limited, just enough coffee grounds and brown sugar for two cups of coffee. There was no milk in the room either.

Thank you very much for your feedback, it is much appreciated. We do have a dining room, which is not a restaurant as such, but we offer to arrange lunch and dinner for guests if we have some advanced notice. Our Family Villas are self-catering with everything that is needed. The only thing our rooms don’t offer is an oven or hob. We provide braais or Webers as an alternative instead. I will amend our listing to reflect this and thank you for taking the time to let us know your requirements in more detail.

Lovely, tidy, fantastic environment!
A place to stay that I would recommend! If there is something that I can possibly suggest as improvement it is that the group should be housed together!

Hi
Thank you very much for your message. All our villas are private but not very far apart, just enough for privacy but we do have 2 Family Villas that sleep 4 to 6 people and Villas that are joined together but private rooms.
The ideal situation is to please book as much in advance as you can so that we have availability and can, therefore, book you into adjoining rooms, otherwise you might be separated by a few meters but all our villas are quite close to each other.
Kind regards,
Lidia,
Lodge Manager,
Gaikou Lodge.
