Geelkrans Chalets

Reviews

• "You cannot find a better location on the Orange River it is stunning"

  27 September 2020

  "The view and location are superb. The management and staff were very helpful and kinds and friendly. The cottage could use some TLC as some of the finishes are very basic (e.g. beds are not so comfy). With a little TLC this place could be 5 star and charge double. Would gladly pay."

  "My honde het vreeslik lekker gespeel en baljaar. Die geroep van die vols was lafenis vir die siel. Ons het tot baie laat in die nag gesit en gesels en sterre gepluk."

• "Geelkrans stop over"

  23 December 2016

  "This was the most amazing stop over. Everything had been set up for us even though we arrived late at the chalets. It was clean and the area is beautiful. Was also great that the owners allowed us to keep our dog there. Huge lawns for everyone to relax and enjoy. Would recommend it to anyone needing a place to stay on route out of/into Namibia through Vioolsdrift."

• "great location"

  26 November 2016

  "All was absolutely great, but what a pity about the shower, the showerhead was torn, calcified and so close to the wall that your bum would accidently push back the handle.Hope this small problem gets seen too. We would still come again ."

• "Amazing setting with extra detail"

  02 August 2016

  "This place is truly amazing overlooking the orange river. It's so peaceful and quiet - this was the ending of our trip. We heard the fish eagle the next morning - TRANQUIL is the word for sure!<br/><br/>The chalet was very clean, there were extras like milk, firewood, enough soap and cream,<br/><br/>The owners really goes the extra mile to make this place amazing. <br/><br/>We will definitely visit Geelkrans again - it comes highly recommended!"

• "Beautiful setting, but hot water smelled like sewage"

  01 August 2016

  "We really struggled to find the place as there is NO SIGN, my phone was not on roaming and the owner did not answer our calls at first. After searching about 30min we phoned again and she answered. We got directions and arrived.<br/><br/>The place is absolutely beautiful, the view is amazing and it's so peaceful. <br/><br/>There was just 100s of wasps, the hot water smelled like sewage and we did not want to shower :( <br/><br/>It was very clean, there were soap, milk etc. The room just did not have any plugs to dry hair even though there was a mirror.<br/><br/>All in all, I think with just a couple of changes this can be a 5* place to stay.<br/><br/>"

• "Beautiful location on the banks of Orange River"

  "fantastic location, nice clean modern chalets, plenty of space for kids to play, fish, and relax. Wish we could have stayed longer."

• "Fantastic setting"

  17 July 2016

  "A magnificent setting under huge cliffs overlooking the lush Orange River. The chalet we stayef in was very neat and clean, and equipped very well. The fireplace was clean and braaiwood and Blitz were provided. The only slight negative was the pigpen right next to the braai area, but families with children might enjoy that extra rustic touch. The other cottage has a fantastic view over the river."

  13 October 2014

  "We stayed at Geelkrans for 2 nights, we got much more than we expected. Air-conditioning in the rooms, coffee, tea, sugar and even milk in the fridge. The chalets have everything you need and the scenery is amazing.We will definitely make this our regular stopover place when we pass through the area."

• "Orange River tranquility"

  29 September 2014

  "This is the best place to relax and enjoy the beauty of the Orange river. The units are well equipped and comfortable. The lawn in front of the houses creates an oasis in the dry and harsh landscape. The host went out of their way to make our stay pleasant. Thank you! I will most definitely recommend Geelkrans!"

• "Enjoyable quick stay"

  22 July 2014

  "Our stay was very quick for one night, but very relaxed and enjoyable. The chalet is very clean and neat, and has all the necessities inside. We even received firewood!! Just one not so nice part, was that the water tank went empty after two showers! Completely! However, skipping the water part, it was very enjoyable."
