"DISAPOINTING"

30 September 2019

"Nor much good to say. Requested and booked 4 separate bed for 4 adult males. The unit only had a double bed and 2 singles in it. The place is old and run down. Electrical wiring exposed. TV shocks when touching. Beds old and hollow. Stairs very steep and potentially dangerous. At least the water was hot and the host friendly and accomadating"
"Stop-over in Bethlehem"

"Very attentive host (Deon). Room very pleasant and adequate for one night. Directions were a bit misleading as we approached from opposite direction - but we found it OK and it is centrally positioned for the town."

"When arriving on the date of my reservation, AND DEPOSIT PAID, I was told that I was not booked with them. After +-10-minutes they came back and showed me in a book I was booked for the 22 Feb and not 24th. Altough I had my reservation number: 10790723, and reservation dates on hand, in mail from SafariNow.<div><br /></div><div>They did then get me a place at a different house of a family member, of which I did not make use.</div><div><br /></div><div>IN SHORT, SAFARI-NOW & GOOSEBERRY MUST SORT THIS OUT, IF THE FAULT IS WITH GOOSEBERRY I RECOMMEND YOU TAKE THEM OF YOUR LIST.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I ALSO REQUEST THAT YOU REFUND MY DEPOSIT?</div><div><br /></div><div>IN THE MEANTIME I WILL NEVER USE SAFARI-NOW AGAIN AND WILL UNFORTUNATELY SHARE MY EXPERIENCE WITH FRIENDS AND BUSINESS COLLEAQUES. </div>"
"Quaint and Comfortable"

08 June 2015

"We had a very comfortable stay despite the cold weather in Bethlehem - which Durbanites are not used to! We received a very warm welcome from a friendly host. The room was spacious, well-equipped and neat. There were heaters in the room and bathroom and enough extra blankets to help keep the cold out! The breakfast was also hearty and delicious. We will definitely stay there again."
"Wonderful stay"

"<p>Gooseberry Lodge is one of the best B&Bs I have stayed at.</p><p>Unfortunately my visit was only overnight but I felt thoroughly relaxed and at home. My room was spacious and comfortable, there were sufficient blankets for a Durban girl who is not used to the cold, tea and coffee provided and lots of quiet.</p><p>Deon was a very kind host and I would love to visit the area and lodge again.</p><p>Well done!</p><p></p>"
"Fantastic!"

"Lekker gebly"

"Die personeel het ons welkom laat voel. Netjiese kamers en heerlike ontbyt. Ek sal dit definetief aanbeveel."
"Wel gedaan."

11 June 2013

"Ons was hartlik verwelkom, en op die koue aand soos dit was het n heerlike glasie sjerrie op die tafel vir ons in die kamer gewag. Deon en sy span het moeite gedoen om aan al ons behoeftes te voldoen en het selfs die kamer rondgeskuif sodat ons alles kon inkry. Die kamer was lekker warm en die groot bad in die badkamer n heerlike bederf. Die ontbyt was heerlik. Die onderdak parkering is n bonus. Ek sal Gooseberry aan enigiemand aanbeveel."
"Awesome"

"One night stay"
"Excellent facility with affordable rates"

24 March 2008

"The GooseBerry Lodge Guest House is an excellent facility at affordable price compared to the cost of accommodation in the region. The owners, Deon and Linda are very hospitable and friendly, and eager to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. Its location in the town centre is an added advantage. The town of Clarens and the Golden Gate, where accommodation is significantly expensive and difficult to find during holidays, are only about 20 minute drive from the Lodge and is a better option. We shall recommend it to all our friends who may plan to pass thru and stay in that area. P K Jain"
"Home from home"

03 January 2007

"We were welcomed by Deon since his wife was visiting her sick mother in Pretoria and he went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. Even housing our Christmas turkey in his own fridge! <br/>We had a good nights rest and a really good breakfast the next morning which set us up for the day ahead.<br/>All in all a very pleasant stay, we will book there again if we are going through Bethlehem."
