• "A nice Kuruman B and B"

  21 September 2015

  "My wife and I and two family from overseas stayed here for a night. It is a good stopover point if visiting Augrabies. We were met by Nadine and we were shown to two very nice rooms overlooking the bush. We had arranged dinner which was lambshank. It was underdone for my taste as I like the meat to fall off the bone, but the others seemed to enjoy it.Breakfast was delicious and more than adequate. We were somewhat concerned to find that the place is unlicensed, and guests should be warned of this. We would certainly stay there again- and take our own wine. Tony C Hilton<br />"

• "Delicious braai and interesting game drives"

  04 November 2014

  "Without doubt, the best Braai in South-Africa we had at Chapman Safaris Game Lodge!! But also the Breakfast was rich and delicious. Further I have to mention that Ross took us on two free interesting game drives. Beside Ross also the other people at Chapman Safaris Game Lodge were very hospitable.We had the double room next to the main building where the shower and toilet is integrated into the room. This was not a problem for us, but if you prefer a separate bathroom you should better ask for one of the other rooms or chalets. Apart from that our room was nice and clean."

• "Totally enjoyed our stay"

  21 October 2013

  "We have been self driving for 5 weeks all around SA and stayed mostly in Guesthouses. Chapman's has been over all one of most satisfying. It was just sort of isolated accommodation we were looking for and a good introduction to South Africa. While keeping up with reasonable rates, hard working and good humoured owner Ross gave us a warm welcome and manage to provide amenities generally found in more expensive lodges. We occupied one of two small and well appointed chalets on hill overlooking reserve, from which we had panoramic view from balcony and seen many animals while sipping wine at twilight. Short dirt road from main house and restaurant to chalet may not be fit for fancy sport cars, but we had no problem getting there with compact car. Other accommodations stand close to main lodge. Cellular phone is a must to call once you reach the locked gate on the dirt road leading in. We had one of best breakfast ever with huge and tasty ommelette and sausage in beautiful thatched roof restaurant in main lodge. Ross then offered to show us around reserve in his big overland vehicule. He drove us happily at slow pace which allowed us to view and photograph at close range most of the many roaming animals. We didn't see as many species anywhere else until we made it to Kruger. Only regret is reserve is so large that Ross could never track down the two newly released giraffes. Avons t totalement satisfaits de notre sjour. Chalets confortables dont 2 offrant vue panoramique sur la rserve. Excellent djeuner dans la magnifique salle principale toit de chaume. Accueil chaleureux du propritaire Ross qui nous a offert une agrable visite matinale bord de son vhicule tout terrain, qui nous a permis de voir et photographier de prs un grand nombre d'espces. Un tlphone cellulaire s'avre indispensable pour demander l'ouverture de la grille l'entre. Un des meilleurs rapports qualit-prix de nos 5 semaines de voyage.Gilles Murray, Quebec, Canada"

• "Convenient"

  14 September 2013

  "Room was clean, comfortable bed. Too close to the main house though and it would have been more convenient if the shower/toilet/basin were separate and not in the room itself."

• "Terrible"

  31 August 2013

  "I cannot understand the glowing reviews of previous guests. Perhaps the "Lodge" has changed hands. We arrived, up the dirt road, a fair distance from town to be told there was no bar and no alcohol available. Not a concern if you know, but if you don't it is a long way from town. The first room we were offered was next to the kitchen and smelt like it was in the kitchen, strange when "dinner" that evening was fried chicken legs (probably from KFC) with rice and some spinach and salad. The amount of food was insufficient for the guests, a situtaion made worse when tho owner also ate from what was available. The other guests were offered bread and jam, no one spoke to us. No starter or sweet was available.The room we eventually stayed in was up the hill, only accessible by 4x4. The roof was loose and banged all night in the wind keeping us awake. No notice was taken of our choice for breakfast, we specifically asked for cheese to be excluded, but were served cheese grillers and cheese on toast. There was no supervision in the dinning area, and the food preparation methods were unhygenic to say the least. No mention of game drives either. Avoid this establishment."
