Not the best experience.
I was not impressed at all. The website is misleading and needs to be updated. There is no WiFi and I had to miss a webinar because of it. I booked Rose Cottage due to the photos on the website, but was placed in a different unit. The air conditioning unit is above the bathroom door and was extremely ineffective in cooling any of the other rooms. There were other shortcomings such as loose taps, the chain that turns the fan and light on and off in one bedroom is unreachably high, and the bathroom mirror is placed for anyone taller than 1.9m. The photos of the garden and outdoor facilities are also no longer a reflection of how it really looks. I changed my booking from Gariep Inn to Rose Cottage and was disappointed in my decision.

The houses we used, namely Flamingo and Suikerbekkie, are renovated construction houses that date from the time when the dam was built, but have been well renovated and modernized. It's just a shame that Suikerbekkie's main en-suite bedroom has no windows, and the hallway door therefore has to be open all the time to get fresh air in.

When we arrived we had to ask for it, then we were informed that there was no WiFi at all. Our aircon didn't work, so we fixed the remote control and turned it on. We drove for a while so the unit could cool down, and when we got back someone had a key and went into our unit and turned off the air conditioning. We suspect our remote control was tampered with before we arrived.

Will not stay there again unfortunately.
Absolute absurd price paid for one night, value for money really not worth it. The shower's temperatures vary terribly, struggled for over 30 min to get the temperature bearable - after a long queue it's the last thing you want to struggle with. Ended up bathing my baby in the sink. The shower towels are very small. The walls are not soundproof, can hear everything from the people next door. When my husband set up the place's baby cot he was torn, we couldn't use him. For the price we paid we would at least expect more, maybe consider including breakfast or something, because really we struggle to see the value for the price, let alone the price. Besides all that - Johan was wonderful, helpful, friendly and showed us everything we needed to know. Thank you Johan for your effort in showing us what the place is etc.

Hi Lettie
Thanks for your review, excuse the answer in English.
Yes, I agree, the shower in your unit is a low pressure solar system.
I have today purchased a hot water booster pump that will give normal pressure and that will sort out the problem.
Thanks for your support, please come stay with us again

Value for money between Gauteng and the Cape.
Actually, Rose Cottage is a street full of prefabricated houses, which have been beautifully renovated. It seems purpose-built for tourists looking for just one night's accommodation between the Cape and Gauteng. Especially with the discount via the website's loyalty program it was very good value for money. The manager was also extremely professional and accommodating, even though we neglected to contact her ahead of time. The air conditioners in the rooms were very welcome, because it is easily very hot in the summer.

Was a nice place, but the price compared to other accommodations that offer much more is a bit expensive in my opinion. The photos also make it appear as if it is one site, but it is two and the pool in the photos is not available at some of the units. The wall is also not soundproof at all and we had trouble sleeping by hearing the other travelers' conversations through our walls. Furthermore, it was nice and spacious and tidy. There was also no TV in our room.

Hi Petro
We had 7 aircons pack up on us in one week, all these split level ones.
I was at Gariep Dam last weekend and have replaced all the aircons with the more efficient free standing ones. Problem now solved.

Affordable accommodation with a very nice hostess who went out of her way to help us. The little problems we encountered included the following: The ceiling fans in the bedrooms did not work properly. The air conditioner's remote control was out of order. The hot water takes hopelessly too long to reach the taps, and what you save on electricity, you lose on water. Our country is poor in water. The bathroom had no window! This is totally unacceptable!

Average.
What you see on the website is anything but what we got. There were no bedfalls around one of the beds, so just clean duvet and bedding but untidy with no covering around the bed bases. The pool, shelter, hole, the other pool not in sight at all, don't know if there might be another site than the one where we stayed, with broken tiles and seats full of cobwebs, not recommended at all. There are no secure enclosures, one entrance is completely open. There were ants in the bedding in one room and the next morning they took over the whole apartment wherever there were crumbs lying around. I would recommend having insecticides and mosquito repellents available. Other than that, I can't complain. We were kindly received, but I say again that what you saw on the page and where we went home was really misleading for me. I go home often and use the website often but I was disappointed this time.

Overnight on the way to the sea.
Bedding and rest were clean. Plumbing is "tricky" - the shower's hot and cold water combination must be handled carefully. When you flush the toilet, water runs out of the kitchen faucet (how)?. If you want to turn off the living room light, it stays on no matter which way the switch is turned (we turned the light bulb out a bit to get it off). It might be a good idea to leave a piece of paper in the unit where guests can make notes about things that scratch. However, for just a sleepover, it was quite OK.

Ja Jannes,
So is dit maar met solar geysers in die winter. Voor ek solar geysers in al my eenhede ingesit het, was ons Eskom krag rekening so hoog dat ek 'n besluit moes maak. Sluit al my gastehuise oor skakel oor na solar. Mens moet maar verstaan, in die winter het jy 'n keuse on of in die aand, of in die oggend warm water te hê.
Jammer vir die ongerief, maar dit gaan maar so bly so lank as ek die gastehuise besit.
Hoop ons sien jou weer.
Groete

Hi Joey
The photos on TravelGround and LekkeSlaap have been checked, re-checked and checked again and again and they bear a true reflection of the unit you have booked. I therefore cannot see why they would be misleading. You need to be more specific, tell me what photo you feel is misleading and I would then be able to give you an answer.
I am the owner and I can't recall speaking to you in terms of the security of the unit. We are not JHB and don't have high fences and all the security of larger cities, such are the homes and guest houses in the "platteland"
I am pleased you found the unit to be neat.

Rose Cottage 's response
Hi Odelia,
You were in our Rooibekkie unit in the Rose Cottage complex. The name Rose Cottage was carried over from a small house that I bought in 1994 and later sold.
We planted 18 long stem ice white roses when I moved from the old house to this new premises and these roses were stunning and reflected somewhat validation to the name.
However, with the extreme drought and water restrictions in 2017/18 and the current heat wave, these roses have mostly died and have left me in a rather embarrassing position in terms of the name of the complex.
I don't really want to change the name so I will need to re-visit the planting of more roses and hopefully restore the complex to its former beauty.
This is the worst drought and heat wave that I have ever seen and it is taking its toll on all the gardens in the Gariep Dam Village.
Hope it rains soon.
I will investigate and see if I can do something about making the Rooibekkie unit more sound proof.
Hope to see you again.
Kind regards,
Robin

Very disappointing and not at all what I expected from the information.
There was barely enough water for one person to shower. The pool was grass green. The shower door was broken. The garden was very dirty and full of rotten fruit. The area outside was so small that one felt uncomfortable. The rules they sent were four pages long and I wasn't aware of them at all ahead of time. Also, after we asked for the Rose Cottage, they moved us to another unit which was not what I wanted and paid for. The parking was very tight and difficult to get in and out of.

Rooibekkie offers good overnight facilities with certain restrictions.
I chose the accommodation because the discount. Very neat, very clean. But very tight. No table or chair to work on, read or eat. One cannot always read outside etc. not. If it rains or the wind blows fiercely, you have to sit on your bed and eat or work. The built-in table outside is without any light. Should one eat in the dark? The room, "kitchen" and bathroom are well equipped. We had some problems with the water in the shower because the hot water tap was not on the left as is international practice. It was like that at the sink - why not the same? I would only recommend Rooibekkie at discount prices. Note: The review only applies to Rooibekkie, because some of the other units looked really good.

Not value for money, I would not recommend anyone to stay overnight in Gariep, value for money accommodation can be found at surrounding villages.
You don't learn that what you see on the internet (photos) is not necessarily the reality! Furthermore, the stay in Rose Cottage was pleasant because the place is tidy - but that's all, holidaymakers are exploited because they have to take what they can get! On our return we slept in a stylish unit for the same amount, bed and breakfast included - never again will we spend the night at "Die Dam" and this is the message we will spread as far as possible. One is always prepared to pay for a certain standard - we travel a lot and we know what we are talking about, this was a way to create as long as the festive season is 'open', let other travelers pay through their ears in the future for a bed to sleep in, we certainly won't. We had an evaluation form completed, but for good reason it was probably not submitted. Customer satisfaction is in short when a customer's need and expectation is addressed, not just your need (to find a place to sleep), the place is neat and clean and everything worked that should have worked, but value for money it definitely was not! The photo also posted of "Rose Cottage" is absolutely misleading. All these things I can say as a Director in Quality Assurance with a doctoral qualification in it!

Hi Attie,
Unfortunately it was our high season rates, when accommodation is in demand. We only offer self catering stays as there are so many restaurants, hotels and resorts that offer good inexpensive breakfasts. We have arrangements with one in particular and we could have referred you to them, if you asked.
Our winter special are half the rates.
I have been all around South Africa and have found our rates well below other established self catering guest houses.
Sorry about the ants, they are certainly a nuisance at Gariep Dam and we try our best to get them under control.
We hope to see you again.

Friendly service and quick feedback, but the inadequate facilities and lack of privacy was disappointing.
The service was friendly and very accommodating, unfortunately the facilities didn't meet my expectations. The rooms aren't brick buildings, but rather temporary units. This means that the separation between guests is literally paper thin and all sounds can be heard. It really isn't pleasant to hear the full details of arguments (with all the dirty language) of guests all through the night. The shower works with a low pressure solar heater, which means the water pressure is very low and sensitive. But this can be understood in an area with extreme drought. The moist towels on guests' beds is, however, less acceptable. It rained before arrival, but a plan could have been made with a tumble dryer. For the price you pay, you expect better facilities. Sorry, but I won't recommend Rose Cottage.

We were tired after the Its time event and just wanted to sleep. Actually didn't realize until the next day that it wasn't the place we saw pictures of.

We were 4 adults in Swallow and it is way too expensive for such a cramped place.
Totally overpriced! The advertisement and also 'confirmation letter' are very misleading. A fully equipped kitchen with dining room and sitting room is nothing more than a 3x3 m room. Everything is so cramped. The private outside bathroom is not for guest use. The splash pool is under repair! And not at all as private and romantic as the picture made it sound. This is nothing more than a very expensive overnight room. I definitely wouldn't recommend it!

Have fun.
It's really a very neat little place. There are notices on the bathroom wall as well as the shower informing you that they use solar powered geysers, we didn't have a problem with anything at all we really had a great time. This is really a place where we will stay again. The staff is also very considerate.

Wasn't too pleasant due to power outage, but the place was excellently clean and tidy.
We were first received by Ronnie who had no knowledge of our booking on his system. He then checked us into another unit that was available. The unit was really very clean and tidy. There was a tremendous storm for about 5 hours and then all of Gariep's power went out. I waited an hour and heard nothing about the power being restored and then called Ronnie and requested him to follow up. He then gave 2 candles. We then had no power to use any of the facilities and if it wasn't for the fact that we had meat for a barbecue, we would have had to go to bed hungry. What was bad is that he didn't even follow up if we were ok or if we needed something. I would at least have expected that the owner might have something like a gas lamp or two and gas bottle with cooker top available for guests in such unforeseen circumstances. Personally, I feel that the money paid for the overnight stay was not worth it under the circumstances and perhaps we could have been accommodated to be able to pay a reduced amount.

Hi Chris, my apology for answering you in English, I'm fluent in Afrikaans but "sukkel" with writing Afrikaans. I have read through your lengthy report and your complaint is absolutely valid and the points you make are constructive and we have undertaken to furnish each of our units with a gas bottle and hob for those unexpected outages. As easy as we got used to "load-shedding" as easy we have forgotten to make provision for such an event. We will offer you a free stay voucher to any of our 16 x SunRose Guest House units. Please contact me directly when you book again and I will see that you are treated like royalty.
Hope to see you soon.

This accommodation is way too expensive for what you end up getting. Everyone has their own expectations, but the price should be revised, especially in this area.
The people at reception weren't very friendly. We had to wait for Ronnie to welcome us. The location is quite bad! Attention should be paid to security. Don't want to offer only negative commentary, but I really wouldn't recommend this place as a stopover. Way too expensive for what you get and the photos aren't really representative of what you'll get.

Stuffy and actually quite horrible.
Would not recommend it. The reception was very short and terse. Nothing special to make us feel at home. Only the lounge had air-conditioning so it was very hot in the rooms and we all had to take our mattresses to the lounge. The kitchen was the only room with hot water. Wouldn't stay here again.

Hi Margot, ja ek het nog nooit die Karoo so droog en warm gevind nie, dit was onplesierig warm. Ek stem heeltemal saam met jou, ons gaan nou lugverkoeling in al die kamers sit want, ons besef met hierdie hitte is die een in die sitkamer glad nie genoeg nie.
Vir julle ongerief bied ek julle 'n volle "free stay voucher" aan en ek hoop dat julle die volgende besoek meer gerieflik sal kry. Groete Robin, Eienaar

Hi Andre, Firstly thank you for your constructive review and for sending me the photo's you took. I must sadly agree with you that we have not kept our stringent maintenance up on this Suikerbekkie free standing home unit. SunRose Group of guest houses has 16 units, mostly around the Gariep Dam area and we have concentrated our efforts mainly in getting the other 15 units up to a very high standard. Your review gave us a bit of a wake up call and I have diverted my complete maintenance team to Suikerbekkie and have used your photos and remarks as a benchmark for repairs and improvements. I am today glad to inform you that we have not only attended to all the points in your review, but have re-painted the entire house, replaced the gutters and downpipes. We have even attended to the rowdy and drunk neighbours and would inform you that this has been brought under control. The owner of the house passed away some two weeks ago and all the rowdy grandchildren have left and only Mrs van Wyngaardt remains in the house.
As owner of the SunRose group of guest houses, firstly let me apologise for your bad experience and we would kindly offer you a free stay voucher, which is valid at any one of our 17 guest houses for a period of 3 years. We hope to see you soon and assure you that we will treat you like royalty and make sure that you have a pleasant stay with us.

Perhaps more needs to be done about the ant infestation. Large amount of biltong packed in a box was full of ants the next day. The container was sitting on the cupboard and was too big for the fridge. Unfortunately we couldn't leave it in the car because it was too hot outside.

Neat accommodation.
After the physical address was confirmed to us via SMS, and I called the contact number provided the day before our stay to mention that we would be arriving between 20:00 and 21:00, I was disappointed when we got there and there other guests in the unit are what we were allocated. I then had to call after which we had to go to another unit at that time of the evening, after one is tired from the whole day's driving. This is not acceptable to me, especially when one has confirmed in advance.
