  "Such an easy and comfortable place. Camped for one night as a half way stop. No hassle and no fuss. Toilets and showers are always clean and in working order. Love the sound of the train too. Peaceful and calm! Jaco is also the friendliest guy ever! Such a pleasure to stay there. Will be back, most definitely! Thank you!"

  "On arrival, I saw no signage to indicate the whereabouts of "Reception" or "Office" for check-in.<br/>I parked my car and wandered around the building, but still could not find "Reception". I noticed that the building was distinctly grubby and decided not to stay. Later that evening, I received the following e-mail from Witput Lodge: "Weet jy ek is regtig baie bly jou soort het vandag verby gehou ek het regtig kliente wat die mooi van di plek sien. As jy in gekom sou jy gesien hoeveel ons al gedoen het maar ja soos ek se ek wens so ek kan eers di mens ontmoet voor ek n kwotasie gee en dan kan ek sien of di mens n mens is of n box is. Veilig ry mag jy n wonderlike nag he. Groete Jaco".<br/><br/>Enough said! Needless to say I will not venture near the place again."

• "Nice"

  16 July 2016

  "This is a very nice and cosy farm house, unfortunately right next to a busy railway track that had me up most of the night.<div>This is almost like a back packer's lodge.</div><div>Not very clean and no luxury, but perfect for a stay over on a long journey. No wifi or even good network.</div><div>You are suppose to let the people of the house know if you would want supper as they do not have a menu, this unfortunately we did not know, as it was not stated when we did our booking online.</div><div>Jaco and the team working there are very nice people. Remember that they do not have a speedpoint and only work with cash payments, luckily he was kind enough to allow me to make a eft payment.</div>"

• "No water and not quite clean enough"

  06 January 2016

  "<p>Unfortunately the rating is low as the facilities were poor and not very clean either. In the morning there was no water in the room at all. According to one of the workers the "contractors", whoare managingthe the facilities, used all the water during the nightbut did not start the pump to fill the tank for the next morning.</p><p>A shame that the place is not up to spec as the historic train station has a lot of potential</p>"

  "We traveled on a fairly tight budget so we weren't expecting ultimate luxury. The people were friendlybut I think their budget is a bit strained. They can and will do better in the future I'm sure as they gain experience. Good luck Jaco."

  "Ons het die tyd daar baie geniet. Dit was so lekker om weer 'n trein te hoor. Dit ontbyt was heerlik en het ons die allerheerlikste vetkoeke ge-eet en nog ook vir die pad gekry. Dit was 'n genoeglike oorbly."
