  • "Not very happy"

    23 March 2016

    "Having stayed at Welgekozen Country Lodge several times during the last few years we booked an overnight stay with our friends again. The rooms were as expected, however our room was not as well maintained as it used to be. This was no problem for us. What bothered us more was the food. We specially booked dinner with our arrangement and expected an adequate meal. What we got, was simply not digestible. Even as we complained to the person serving, we got no reply. Ordering the wine was another experience never seen before. The "waiter" did not understand what we requested. Eventually we received a glass of wine each, thereafter the half full wine bottle "disappeared". The whole situation was so strange, especially as the owner showed up several times without noting that there must be something very wrong. Finally we all took it with humor, went to the rooms and ate some "crackers" in order not to starve. Unfortunately next mornings breakfast was not much better. We think, that this place has changed a lot and might be well equipped for larger groups and catering events but no longer for individual travelers."

  • "Our stay at Welgekozen Country Lodge"

    22 December 2009

    "We loved the nice spacious room and lovely big bathroom at Welgekozen Country Lodge. We would recommend this B&B to friends passing through Piet Retief.Two items which we felt would further enhance the appeal of staying at Welgekozen Country Lodge:- Offer guests an evening meal, particularly as you have a great chef in the kitchen- Improve the security on the front entrance eg: security controlled access gate and a guard to patrol around the grounds at night"
