I was quoted a very low rate which I thought was because I mentioned I am a tour guide needing a room for 2 nights while my clients are at a game lodge not far away. It turns out the low price is because it's a dump. The website shows lovely photos but the reality is something else. My room stank of dirty carpets; the bedding was old and just a blanket instead of a duvet; the room was freezing; furniture is old and patched in parts; the tv had no remote and I was told it would be sorted the next day - there were empty rooms so they could've changed my room instead of bringing a different tv the next day; the main overhead light in the room is actually on the wall behind the tv so I struggled to work on my laptop as it was too dark; no shower so I bathed the first day but the second day bathing was impossible as the water was flowing outside the room instead of into the bath. My room was not cleaned, bed not made up; coffee in the rooms is actually chicory.||The restaurant is horrid. Staff were very friendly but the food is abysmal. A burger is served on 2 slices of toasted bread and the meat patty is a thin tasteless frozen one. Breakfast was beyond boring and very unappetizing. ||If I ever again need accommodation in this area I'd rather drive the extra miles and spend double the amount by going to the nearby towns of Hartenbos or Mossel Bay where they know how to provide service and...
Read moreWe arrive on the 9 January 2012 at Eden Country Inn at Klein Brak River. It is a two star Hotel. We booked two rooms but changed it to a Chalet. ||||The Chalets are very very old fashioned. The bathroom and kitchen have lanoleum floors that lift from the floor and mold growing everywhere. The toilets and the bath and the basin seems to be there since the 1940's. The hotel needs an urgent update. Upon arrival the chalet was not cleaned properly. I had to go see the manager to clean the place properly. The stove in the kitchen is rusted and fall apart and is extremely dirty so was the freezerand the whole kitchen. The place is Mosquito ridden and it need proper mosquito nets and gauze on the windows. The mouldy bathroom walls was dirty and so was the bath and the basin and the toilet. The bar they advertise to be a ladies bar but it aint one more a one horse town bar with nothing in it but drunk people. The hotels restaurant is drab and dreary and needs an update and so does their menu. It also lies near the Highway and the traffic noise can be overwhelming especially at night when you want to get a proper rest. There's no such thing as A/C is open windows and a battel witht...
Read moreWe had an absolute, jaw-dropping experience at Blinkleys! From the moment we stepped in, we were treated to the softest, marshmallow-like pillows and plush duvets that made our stay feel like a dream. The spacious showers were a highlight, and the stunning views from our room left us breathless. But what truly made our stay special was the incredible animal life surrounding the property, Lizzy the cat, Geese, bird life surrounding the centre garden - it felt like we were staying in a nature reserve! The friendly staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, and the pub on site was a amazing experience , with affordable drinks at unbeatable prices that left me speechless.
Live entertainment was the highlight and this will draw way more clients to the venue.
An absolute gem of a place with rich history - I'd highly recommend Blinkleys to anyone looking for a relaxing and unforgettable getaway!
The newest edition of the night market was a brilliant idea bringing something diffirent to the area!
Looking forward bringing more friends soon!
P. S - Suggestion
Pool table will draw even more people.
Well done on the dartboard...
