Ndedema Lodge

1. Disappointing service. Really, this high score on Tripadvisor must have been in another decade. It was the only accommodation in 4 weeks travel that was really poor. 2. My fault that I paid twice because I assumed the credit card payment did not go through, but no refund and worse, no reaction at all on mails is just not right. My advise: do NOT go to Ndedema.

This is a very special place.Warm welcome.Friendly,helpful people. Our room had everything for comfort - electric blankets,wall heater,air conditioner,bar fridge,kettle. Beautiful, peaceful garden to relax in. Excellent breakfast No complaints.We'll be back.

This review is relatively objective as I have been undertaking extensive road trips for the past 13 years, with a 2 year Covid induced hiatus. I stayed (solo) for 3 nights in late January/early February. Easily found in Clanwilliam on the edge of town. Secure car parking. Due to a communication breakdown no one to meet me, but a quick phone call resolved that issue. The admin is conducted off site, with a very pleasant Peet and Enid on hand at the house. Lovely old building with thick walls and high ceilings. Even in 43 degree day time temperatures the internal rooms were relatively cool. Wonderful original floor boards etc. My bedroom was spacious, well equipped, clean and comfortable. Loved the safe deposit box, which was a small old school stand alone safe bolted to the floor with the door opening upwards. Only down side was that the overhead fan was noisy - quickly rectified by Peet supplying a portable modern fan. Aircon was quiet and efficient. Ice was provided on request. Bathroom was spacious, clean and well equipped. Good shower pressure. Large gardens with shade to relax in after a busy day - excellent breakfast served on the patio. Decent sized pool. Front stoop perfect for an ABF beer with Peet in the evening. A short walk or drive into town for dining options. Recommended
