DO NOT GO THERE - IT IS DEEPLY POLLUTED

DO NOT GO THERE The hotel markets itself as a beach front hotel for families... You are required to pre-pay your stay. However, when you arrive, you will find a hotel situated meters from big and dirty industry, all premises deeply polluted by iron ore dust. The red dust is everywhere, red stuff running down from the roofs. And you can feel the smell of ore in the air at all times. No family should be staying in such conditions. And no kids should be playing on such polluted beaches. We left after half a day. We were not going to stay there with a small kid longing to play in the sand on the beach... When you turn the attention to the problem to hotel management they just note that they are not responsible for "external environmental factors"... and they are not willing to refund. May I ask, if you are responsible for your own messages in advertising!? DO NOT GO THERE!

Lovely lodge next to the sea

Lovely lodge right on the beach. Quaint lodge rooms were very comfortable but ceilings are slopped so not good if you are tall. Brilliant shower but getting a little worn, still loved it. Food on the premises good and reasonable, friendly staff.

Great location

The self catering unit met all our needs. The enclosed garden was perfect for our small yorkies. The units are of decent size, comfortable beds. The premises are well-maintained. This is a perfect location to explore Langebaan and Paternoster. R500 deposit is required upon check in. Staff on duty complained about a check in complaint we had - very unprofessional.

Loved our stay here

We really enjoyed our stay in the pet friendly self catering unit. Great kitchen with everything you might need. Private Braai area and safe and enclosed for our dogs. Lovely bed, spacious rooms. Our dogs loved it even more than us. Lovely area, and the sea view from our room, kitchen and living room were to die for.

Great hotel

The hotel was at the side of the beach, the views from the restaurant were great and you could walk on to the beach. the service in the restaurant was excellent. my room was a little noisy as i could hear the kitchen, but this did not stop me from sleeping.

Nice place but has few flaws

Family friendly and nice views only disappointment was that we had no wi-fi in the rooms that were allocated to us the wi-fi was only in the main reception and breakfast room. We were unable to get any taxis and when we had forgotten our keys one nite There was no one on the reception to try and contact to ask for help, the place was deserted and we had to drive half back to where my mum was.

Tolles Hotel mit „Meer“ Blick

Bei der Ankunft waren wir von den Straßenbau Aktivitäten in Saldahna „positiv „ überrascht......das wird sehr gut, wenn es mal fertig ist. Das nächste Positive - das Hotel macht einen noch schöneren Eindruck, als auf den Bildern (die uns zum Buchen veranlasst hatten) Jetzt die Krönung...... das Zimmer 160 (auch das Honeymoon Zimmer genannt) sehr schön gemacht.....Traumblick auf die Lagune - gut eingerichtet - tolle Dusche.....einfachl großartig !!! Gutes Essen, freundliches Personlal......ganz besonders Oskar macht einen tollen Job. Das war „Meer“ als wir erwartet haben.......wir kommen gerne mal wieder!

Wenn man nicht hier war - hat man nichts verpasst!

Nichtwirklich das Gelbe vom Ei!!!!!! Dieses Hotel hat schon bessere Zeiten gesehen. Diese Uebernachtung war bis jetzt die Schlechteste, die wir auf unserer Reise erlebt haben. Das Fuehstueck war das minimalste Essen, welches wir bis jetzt gehabt haben. Wir waren zu viert zusaetzlich zu uns war noch einweiterer Gast am essen, das Personal war gelangweilt und entspechend aus der Eindruck, den diese gemacht haben. Zimmer sehr klein, ein Koffer kommt knapp zwischen Bett in Kasten vorbei
