    26 December 2016

    "Die kombuis wasbak het nie 'n warm kraan nie.Die kombuis wasbak is ook verstop.Die ketel was vreeslik aangepak en ons het maar water gekook in die pot.Die yskas het nie koud genoeg gemaak nie en ons melk het suur geword.Daar was geen water die volgende oggend toe ons wou stort/skottelgoed was.Die druin het gevrot.Die aircon en swembad was lekker.Mooi uitsig."

  • "Not up to standard"

    14 July 2015

    "<p>The accommodation was not quite the standard we expected.<br></br>I had to ask twice for more towels (booking for 4 people, only 2 towels in the cabin).</p><p>The shower still had bundles of hair on the floor as if it hasn't been cleaned after the previous accupants.<br></br>The bedding (sheets and duvet covers) were very old and thin. Not sure if it was actualy clean...<br></br>No hot water at the sink in the kitchen.<br></br>The kettle was in a questionable state. Dirty on the outside.<br></br>The swimming pool was extremely dirty.<br></br></p>"

  • "Aquacade Camp"

    05 May 2014

    "The facilities are what was expected, I must compliment Herrick with the hard work he is putting into receiving guests, preparing and serving food for them and also cleaning up all the dishes. We really enjoyed our stay and will recommend the camp to others."

  • "Almost Tragic"

    25 March 2014

    "Good stay. No hot shower for almost two days.Stranded for approx three hours during river rafting and end up in Namibia without any assisting guide.Resturant only seasonal. Owerbos assist with their delicious pizza.NEVER AGAIN!!!"

    11 March 2007

  • "Aquade Camp"

    09 September 2006

  • "Recommend Aquacade"

    20 July 2006

    "We found Aquacade camp good for our requirements. the hot water ran out the evening but the next morning I was able to take a very hot shower. I would recommend Aquacade as a stopover any day. The unit was comfortable and set in lovely surroundings. Thank you for your trouble with the reservation."
