Excellent. Stay was excellent, rooms were neat and clean, bathrooms fresh and water supply was uninterrupted and the tranquility superb. The road was manageable.

What a pleasant surprise! We would stay there again anytime. We were very surprised to discover this unknown gem. What a lovely surprise when the place had already cooled down when we walked in, and we could just kick off our shoes. Everything was clean and in place. Because it is on the heritage site, we were able to walk alone in the early morning and brush up on our history at the lookout points. Our family enjoyed it very much. Thank you.

Wat ʼn aangename verrassing! Ons sal enige tyd weer daar oornag. Groot was ons verbasing om hiérdie onbekende juweel te ontdek. Wat ʼn lieflike verrassing toe die plek reeds afgekoel is met die instapslag, en ons net skoene kon uitskop. Als was skoon en in plek. Omdat dit op die erfenisterrein is, kon ons vroegoggend heerlik alleen stap en by die uitkykpunte ons geskiedenis opskerp. Ons familie het dit baie geniet. Dankie julle.

The accommodation location was amazing with breathtaking scenery. There were a few items missing from the accommodation: the bar fridge needs to be replaced with a bigger fridge in line with the 6 people accommodated. Minimal coffee, tea, sugar and milk were required. Too little crockery was available (6 people). Toilet cleaning brushes were required in the toilets. The shower in the second bathroom's waste water outlet was blocked. There was a nice big washing machine in the facility but no outside clothing lines. The broken lid of the waste bin in the kitchen needs to be replaced. No additional black waste bags were available. No hand soap and air freshener were available in both bathrooms. No welcome form from the facility host. No WiFi was available. No TV set.

Bagpipe Lodge has a lot of potential if the little things are addressed. Bagpipe Lodge is a nice place, but has a few shortcomings such as no braai tongs and wire brush to clean the braai grid. There was also no dishwashing soap available to wash the dishes, nor a sponge or dishcloth. The dishcloth was not clean, there was no hand soap in the bathroom, and the right-hand shower's water mixer handle was loose and kept falling off. The broken floor tiles right by the front door create a poor impression. The knives and forks are loose in the drawer, and there was only one steak knife available.

Bagpipe Lodge het baie potensiaal mits die klein dingetjies aandag kry. Bagpipe Lodge is 'n oulike plek, maar het 'n paar tekortkominge soos geen braaitang en draadborsel om die braairooster skoon te maak nie. Daar was ook nie afwasseep beskikbaar om die skottelgoed te was nie, en ook nie 'n sponsie of wasvadoek nie. Die afdroogvadoek was nie skoon nie, daar was geen handewasseep in die badkamer nie, en die regterkantse stort se watermenger se handvatsel is los en val kort-kort af. Die gebroke vloerteëls reg by die voordeur skep 'n swak indruk. Die messe en vurke is los in die laai, en daar was net een steakmes beskikbaar.

See above. Very good location and wonderful scenery. Unfortunately the apartment was very dirty! The microwave was very dirty on the inside, as was the (very small) fridge. The freezer compartment was completely frozen over and on the first night the fridge started leaking a lot of water and stopped working completely (we informed the contact person). The shower drain was completely clogged with hair from previous guests and so the water could not drain and the floor quickly overflowed (we informed the contact person). The tables in the lounge were very sticky and dirty. It did not look like it had been cleaned at all before our arrival. There are also no rubbish bins anywhere in the rooms or bathroom, only one in the kitchen whose lid is bent and therefore cannot close properly. Cutlery was also too few. There were 4 of us, but there were only 3 large plates and 3 cups. You have to remember your own dish sponge and dishcloth, as well as black bags, and definitely cleaning products! The braai grill e.g. was very dirty and left that way after the previous guests' braai. The potential is great, because the atmosphere on the Magersfontein mountain is wonderfully enchanting and magical, especially if you like historical places, but the house definitely needs a very thorough cleaning and a few garbage cans!

Sien hierbo. Baie goeie ligging en wonderlike natuurskoon. Ongelukkig was die woonstel baie vuil! Die mikrogolfoond was baie vuil aan die binnekant, so ook die (baie klein) yskas. Die vrieshokkie was heeltemal opge-ys en sommer op die eerste aand het die yskas heelwat water begin uitlek en heeltemal opgehou werk (ons het die skakelpersoon laat weet). Die stort se drein was heeltemal verstop met hare van vorige gaste en dus kon die water nie uitloop nie en die vloer het vinnig oorvloed (ons het die skakelpersoon laat weet). Die tafeltjies in die sitkamer was baie taai en vuil. Dit het nie gelyk of daar enigsins skoongemaak is voor ons koms nie. Daar is ook nêrens vullisdrommetjies in die kamers of badkamer nie, slegs een in die kombuis waarvan die deksel gebuig is en dus kan hy nie mooi toemaak nie. Eetgerei ook te min. Ons was 4, maar daar was slegs 3 groot borde en 3 bekers. Mens moet jou eie skottelgoedsponsie en vadoek onthou, asook swartsakke, en definitief skoonmaakmiddels! Die braairooster bv. was baie vuil en net so gelos na die vorige gaste se braai. Die potensiaal is groot, want die atmosfeer op die Magersfontein berg is wonderlik betowerend en magies, veral as jy van geskiedkundige plekke hou, maar die huisie kort beslis 'n baie deeglike skoonmaak en 'n paar vullisdrommetjies!

Relax with good air conditioning in the summer and a nice braai area outside. Quiet and peaceful with dark nights so the stars are visible because it is so remote. Historical attractions within walking distance of the house.

Lekker gerus met goeie lugverkoeling in die somer en 'n lekker braai area buite. Stil en rustig met donker nagte sodat die sterre sigbaar is omdat dit so afgeleë is. Geskiedkundige besienswaardighede binne stapafstand van die huis.

A trip into yesteryear. Spoiled by awesome hospitality. So on a long trip escorting abnormal loads from CPT to GP, we got stuck in Kimberley for three nights. Looking around for adorable accommodation led me to Bagpipe Lodge. I was a little surprised that it was further away from Kimberley than I had wanted to be. But when I arrived and discovered what felt like the unknown, I was more than happy. From the awesomely friendly and helpful Klara who received me and checked up regularly to see all was OK, and believe me, nothing was too much for her. This place is hidden away, steeped in history and an awesome place to go to forget the world and go into yesteryear.

Wonderful experience. Enjoy a breathtaking sunset and view. Dirt road and some 4x4 to get there - not ideal if you are in a hurry to or from Cape Town. Bring your own braai grill, braai tongs and coffee.

Wonderlike belewenis. Geniet van 'n asemrowende sonsondergang en uitsig. Grondpad en bietjie 4x4 om daar uit te kom - nie ideaal as jy haastig Kaap toe of terug is. Bring jou eie braairooster, braaitang en koffie.
