Best Hotels near Waterval Farm 497, Benede Oranje

This place is ideally located as the first location offering (there's plenty in the area to choose from) when you enter Upington along the N14. So, after a long drive to the Northern Cape from Rustenburg, its location was ideal for us as a midway stop to where we had planned to visit. We chose this place for its value for money package and how it easily accommodated our little one. For the price, we also had breakfast included. We opted for an upgrade of our room, to one with both a shower and bathtub and we were gladly granted that request. A bathtub makes bath time easier with a little one. The room we were given was upstairs (number 3) and had an extra mattress prepared for us. The room was so spacious that our little one could easily play around with his scooter inside. We're glad we had enough space in the car to pack his favorite mobile toy for him to enjoy here! The room had pretty much everything you can think of in it for functionality purposes - aircon, comfy bed, bar fridge, extra blanket, safe, study table and chair, couch, complimentary water, DStv, clean and fresh towels. The TV is cleverly positioned away from the study area to give privacy to those using the table and chair for reading or writing purposes. The DSTV also had many channels available, which meant that our little one could watch any cartoon channel he wanted to, all day long. The room also had a tea and coffee station, with snacks and drinks, the snacks and drinks were available for purchase. The room had a wooden floor and an outside balcony area. The area is also safe with gated access and limited covered parking. The atmosphere around the place is one that is peaceful, in touch with nature and calming. There's lush green grass and plants around with a massive pool and beautiful ponds all around with fish to see. There are two friendly ducks, which our son loved to see and greet each time he saw them and there are some springboks at a distance to see as well when you walk around the area to take everything in. The animals were a special touch that the place offered and our son really enjoyed that element to the place. There was unfortunately no jungle gym (play area) as I had expected from the online images I have seen. The place did not also offer dinner/lunch but that was highlighted at check in. The room also did not have a microwave to warm up the takeaway food but was not a deal breaker. The place is located close to the Kalahari Mall and an Engen garage for filling up. Browns Manor was an ideal accommodation spot for us as we had planned to visit the Augrabies Falls, which is located 1 hour and 30 minutes drive away from the National Park. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it.

absolutely fantastic service car was parked under a canopy hotel was in a beautiful location which led down to the orange river food was lovely room was delightful and lovely to see the owner taking an interest area was safe to walk around

Great and located at a convenient spot. Scrumptious buffet breakfast. Friendly stuff and clean place. Beautiful scenery in the dining room. Great family room with comfortable beds and clean linen. Top notch hotel to stay at

When I made the booking I was told that the river facing rooms were fully booked but that we could have a non-river facing room, which we booked. It turned out that these rooms are right next to their building expansion (adding rooms), in other words, when you open your window or door, you have workers right on the outside. We felt that we should have been informed about the construction work, we then would not have rented the room. The rooms are actually not rentable. Also, we couldn't use the room during the day due to the noise and the invasion of privacy. However, we were given a very nice family suite for one night (the hotel was fully booked for the next night), which we cannot fault and we also didn't pay for the upgrade. The room was river facing and slightly away from the building works with a lovely view over the Orange River. Most of the staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was good. If it wasn't for the 'construction' room, we would have had a good stay.
