Carl allowed us to check in earlier. Thank you very much. Tricia went out of her way to make us feel at home. Nothing is too much trouble for her. She is really an asset to Voorbegin. Her husband took us on a game drive and went out of his way to show us certain goats. The house was super clean, equipped with everything you need. Incredible view of the dam. Roads are neat, environment is clean. New covered parking. Will definitely go again.

Lovely, peaceful family destination.
Our family had a great time in the river house. House needs some renovations, it rained heavily on Friday night and the covered braai on the porch is leaking profusely. Gas braai which is inside visiting area did not have gas bottle. Furthermore, the house is very well furnished, tidy and offers all the facilities one needs.

Management helpful.
Roads in resort very neat. River and pond very beautiful. Good stay. The road from Bothaville was difficult as it was freshly scraped and then rain followed. Suitable vehicle required. My Polo stood tall! One negative comment. The "septic tank" was becoming clogged. It has been reported. they would probably attend to it after we left.

Hoewel dit baie mooi is was dit baie verder uit Bothaville as wat op die promosie beskryf was. Die pad is baie swak en die gasvrou was nie baie hulpvaardig nie.

Although it is very beautiful, it was much further from Bothaville than was described on the promotion. The road is very poor and the hostess was not very helpful.
Everyone understands power failure but all water was also off during the load shedding.

Nice and friendly but soulless.
The people are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are neat and nice, but not necessarily well thought out for the area (i.e warm blankets for the winter, a/c is ineffective / winter bedding). No "amenities". The lodge and animals are beautiful.

Goeie Dag.
Ek vertrou dat dit goed gaan.
Baie dankie vir u terugvoering, dit word opreg waarder.
Ek sal dit deurgee aan ons span sodat ons daaraan kan aandag gee.
Soos beskryf word op TravelGround en LekkeSlaap is al ons eenhede selfsorg.
Ons kan ongelukkig nie op hierdie stadium Wi-Fi voorsien nie omrede die netwerke dit nie toelaat nie. Soos wat die netwerke hul torings uitbrei sal ons daarna kyk.

It was absolutely fantastic.
After the first call, the discussion went smoothly. Upon our arrival we were kindly received and made to feel at home. We were very kindly taken through the house and everything was explained. Everyone made us feel at home and it felt like you were at home visiting family. The management did a very good job of making everything as easy and possible as possible. With the greeting at the gate, a wonderful weekend came to an end. Thank you very, very much.

Absolute natural beauty and rest for your soul.
First of all, I just want to say a big thank you to Andrea. She is friendly, helpful and was there every day to hear how things were going and if we needed anything. Also thanks to Happy who cleaned the house every day. You receive clean linen and towels during your stay. Sitting like that on the stoep and the Vaal River running about 50 meters away from you was fantastic. The sounds of all the birds in the trees were like music to your ears. The young bunch caught a lot of fish - carp and barbers and thoroughly enjoyed it. We felt safe and the people are all very friendly. Thank you very much for a fantastic and idyllic 8 days. Would recommend it to any person.

I would recommend this place to people who want to relax a bit. The people are some of the friendliest and most helpful I have ever encountered. They make you feel so at home. The only downside is that it is a bit far from the Rand, otherwise I would have visited many more times.

Friendly staff, from the guard at the gate, to the drivers.
On behalf of my husband and child, I would like to say thank you very much for a wonderful stay at Voorbegin Lodge. As I already told Andrea there are no words to describe how beautiful and peaceful the place is. Even though we weren't on the game drive, we had the time of our lives. Nature, clean air and no television was what we needed as a family. We will definitely make a reservation again, and this time in the middle of summer, I will definitely refer the rest of our family and friends to them. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you very much for a wonderful place.

We enjoyed it, rested, watched animals, walked and watered lines. Jan and Stephanie are very hospitable. Everything is of high quality. The stoep is lovely, but if it starts to get very hot in the afternoon or cold in the evenings, then the stoep with garden chairs is not enough.
