Wonderful stay surrounded by the beautiful Tankwa nature. This accommodation exceeded all our expectations: large, open rooms, lovely swimming pool, and every man's dream barbecue! Each cottage is delightfully private and excellently furnished. The silence at night was special and was able to experience and appreciate the starry sky anew! Customer service was great and friendly, especially when they came to help us with extra firewood!

Wonderlike verblyf ombring deur die beeldskon Tankwa natuur. Dié verblyf het al ons verwagtinge oortref: groot, oop vertrekke, lieflike swembadjie, en al-wat-'n-man-is se droom braai! Elke huisie is heerlik privaat en uitstekend ingerig. Die stilte snags was besonders en kon weer die sterrehemel opnuut ervaar en waardeer! Kliëntediens was puik en vriendelik, veral toe hulle ons kom help met ekstra braaihout!

Full moon in the Tankwa with a fire on the porch. We will never forget the place. Showers and open plains were something special. Pool was not the best for swimming, was very dirty, full of funny slime.

Volmaan in die Tankwa met 'n vuur op die stoep. Ons sal nooit die plek vergeet nie. Stort en oop vlaktes was iets besonders. Swembad was nie die beste vir swem nie, was baie vuil, vol snaakse sluim.

Blissful; tranquil; in peace with nature. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at our accommodation. Fantastic views, safe and secure, and really the units had everything we needed. Although our stay was very memorable, I do think that certain facts could have been made clearer with the listing description. For example: (1) Knowledge of a sleeper couch in the lounge area, given that we were 3 adults and 1 child. It meant that there was not a separate bed for the additional adult, and thus the child had to sleep on the couch. (2) No electricity made us believe that there is nothing! We were not aware that the unit was fully operated by solar panels and thus there will be lights, a fridge, microwave - this was a great surprise in the end, but we came with a camp freezer, etc! (3) Communicated the real distance (in km) to reception and the units from either ways to enter the reserve - recommendation to actually publish a map of the reserve (similar to what we got when we arrived at reception) to know how far we still have to drive when we entered the reserve. In the end, our stay was amazing; so please see this as positive feedback to be well prepared for our next. Thank you.

Had a great time. Silence was heavenly and neighbors are not in sight. Was a pleasure to be in the. Had a wonderful stay. Will be there again next year. No mirror in bathroom. Bird droppings on walls. Furthermore, everything was very nice and peaceful. No WiFi is the best thing. Thank you. We could switch off completely.

Heerlik gekuier. Stilte was hemels en bure is nie in sig. Was 'n plesier om in die. Heerlik gebly. Sal volgende jaar weer daar wees. Geen spieël in badkamer. Voëlsmis teen mure. Verder was alles baie lekker en rustig. Geen WiFi is die beste ding. Dankie. Ons kon heeltemal afskakel.

3 nights together family. The accommodation is beautiful. The cottages do need some general maintenance. The pool net is rags and a danger to small children. The dirt roads are rough but are passable with tall vehicles.

3 aande saam familie. Die verblyf is pragtig. Die huisies kort wel bietjie algemene onderhoud. Die swembadnet is fodde en 'n gevaar vir klein kindertjies. Die grondpaaie is rof maar is rybaar met hoë voertuie.

Perfect karoo getaway with family. Our family was 4 people but we ended up in 1 bedroom cottage. However, booking shows we have booked for 4. Must have been an error on the website's side?

Perfekte karoo-wegbreek met gesin. Ons gesin was 4 mense, maar ons het in 1-slaapkamerkothuis beland. Bespreking wys egter ons het vir 4 bespreek. Moes 'n fout aan die webtuiste se kant gewees het?

Adventurous. Our accommodation was perfectly located in the Park with a beautiful view. What would make our holiday better is to be better informed by Reception about the following: There is no reception in and around the Park, although there is Wi-Fi at Reception. One can also buy (very good!) wood at Reception. It is a 20 km drive to reception (one way). The roads around and in the Park are currently washed out in places and would recommend that you tackle it with at least a 2x4 vehicle. We even had to turn around with a 4x4 vehicle on several occasions because it was not possible to continue driving. It also takes a lot longer to get from one point to the next and you have to plan for it. It would help a lot if Reception could indicate on our arrival which roads are not accessible. The bridge between Tankwa and Calvinia is washed out and not accessible at all (even with a capable 4x4 vehicle) despite Reception still indicating that you can get to Calvinia by road. Middelpos has been without fuel for over a year, despite being listed as one of the closest places to get fuel. Apparently Gannaga Lodge has a fuel tank, but we only found out later and cannot confirm that this is the case. We drank the tap water without problems, but would recommend taking your own water if you are not used to the taste. The unit was equipped with everything we needed! There are solar panels so electricity was not a problem. Definitely pack binoculars and bird book! And research the wildlife ahead of time because there is no catch, and there is a lot of interesting wildlife that you will want to know more about.

Avontuurlustig. Ons verblyf was perfek geleë in die Park met 'n pragtige uitsig. Wat ons vakansie beter sou maak is om beter ingelig te word deur Ontvangs oor die volgende: Daar is geen opvangs in en om die Park nie, alhoewel daar Wi-Fi by Ontvangs is. Mens kan ook (baie goeie!) hout koop by Ontvangs. Dit is wel 'n 20 km rit na ontvangs (in een rigting). Die paaie rondom en in die Park is tans verspoel op plekke en sal aanbeveel dat mens met minimum 'n 2x4 voertuig dit aanpak. Ons moes selfs met 'n 4x4 voertuig op verskeie kere omdraai omdat dit nie moontlik was om aan te hou ry nie. Dit vat ook heelwat langer om van een punt tot 'n volgende te kom en mens moet daarvoor beplan. Dit sou baie help as Ontvangs kon aandui met ons aankoms watter paaie nie toeganklik is nie. Die brug tussen Tankwa en Calvinia is verspoel en glad nie toeganklik nie (selfs met 'n bekwame 4x4 voertuig) ten spyte dat Ontvangs steeds aandui dat mens met die pad tot by Calvinia kan kom. Middelpos het al vir meer as 'n jaar nie brandstof nie, ten spyte daarvan dat dit genoem word as een van die naaste plekke waar mens brandstof kan kry. Gannaga Lodge het blykbaar 'n brandstoftenk, maar ons het dit eers later uitgevind en kan nie bevestig dat dit die geval is nie. Ons het die kraanwater gedrink sonder probleme, maar sou aanbeveel mens vat jou eie water as mens nie gewoond is aan die smaak nie. Die eenheid was toegerus met alles wat ons nodig gehad het! Daar is sonpanele so elektrisiteit was nie 'n probleem nie. Pak definitief 'n verkyker en voëlboek in! En doen navorsing oor die natuurlewe voor die tyd omrede daar nie opvangs is nie, en baie interessante natuurlewe is waarvan mens meer gaan wil weet.

Pity about the electricity. You said it had paraffin lamps. There was even a TV. The road from Ceres was awful. Had not been graded for ages and was very badly corrugated. We left via the Calvinia entrance. Much better. Even the Sutherland entrance/pass was badly stoned due to flood damage. I thought I had booked a 2 bedroom unit but it only had 1 bedroom.

Stay was fantastic. The condition of the roads within the park was extremely poor and it is a shame that a national park's roads are in such poor condition. As a result, we will not visit the park again or recommend it.

Verblyf was fantasties. Die toestand van die paaie binne die park was uiters swak en dit is 'n skande dat 'n nasionale park se paaie in so 'n swak toestand is. As gevolg daarvan sal ons nie weer die park besoek of dit aanbeveel nie.
