Gaste Opmerkings: Met ons vertrek na Kgalagadi in Desember 2008 het ons oornag slaapplek gesoek in Upington. Ongelukkig vir ons het ons net van Die Eiland vakansie oord geweet en die nag daar vertoef. Wat 'n nagmerrie - die locals neem die plek oor met hulle gevloek, gedrinkery en bakleiery. Ons is regdeur die aand wakker gemaak deur musiek, harde stemme (ek bedoel so veel dat dit klink of hulle in jou tent sit en gesels), selfs die sekuriteits persone wat deur die kamp jaag met nekbrekende spoed deur die nag - nie weer nie. Met ons terugkoms was ons weer voor die besluit waar om te oornag. Gelukkig vir ons is die mense in Upington so vriendelik dat 'n vroutjie ons aanbeveel het om by Oranje Rus Vakansie Oord 'n draai te maak. Die oord is tussen Upington en Keimoes geleë. Met ons aankoms is ons verwelkom deur die twee vriendelikste mense wat ek in 'n lank tyd ontmoet het. Wat 'n verrassing teen R160.00 'n nag vir 5 persone. Die staanplekke het heerlike skaduwee, is groot genoeg vir die grootste karavaan met sy tent, lowergroen gras, lieflike restaurant, met die mooiste en skoonste ablusieblokke wat ek nog gesien het. Die storte is prakties uitgelê en het stortdeure met 'n aparte klein aantrek kamertjie wat sorg dat jou klere droog bly (laat my dink ons moet dringend ons eie badkamer opgradeer). Daar is ook 'n lekker swembad om in af te koel. Ons het nie een aand onveilig gevoel nie aangesien die plek voldoende omhein is met ingang beheer. Die wonderlikste - geen dagbesoekers en quads word toegelaat nie!! Ons sou een aand oornag maar het op die ou end drie dae gebly - vir ons 'n heerlike rus tydperk. Ons het selfs hulle Kersete bygewoon en wat 'n wonderlike ervaring. Die ander gaste (locals) het dadelike met ons begin praat en ons het deel van 'n groot gesin gevoel. Nie iets wat jy sommer in Gauteng sal kry nie. Die eienaars het selfs Kersdag by elke gesin aangegaan om hulle met hulle te gesels. Hulle het ook nie een oomblik geskroom om kampeerders wat nie die reëls nakom nie aan te spreek nie. Aan die eienaars van die oord - baie dankie vir 'n wonderlike oord. Dit was vir ons 'n heerlike ondervinding wat ons nie gou sal vergeet nie en ons sal verseker julle weer besoek. Sou julle belangstel om die oord te besoek hiermee die besonderhede: Website: www.oranjerus.com Tel no: 054 491 1010 Faks no: 054 491 1011 Email: oranjerus@mweb.co.za Koordinate: 28º38'19.78"S 21º7'4.94"E Wednesday, 6th January, 2010 at 8:27 am Goeie dag almal. Ons het in Desember Upington besoek en weer by Oranjerus (tussen Upington en Keimoes) gekamp. Wat 'n heerlike ondervinding. Die kampterrein is skoon, genoeg bome om jou relatief koel te hou, baie gras, ablusie fasiliteite wat bo standaard is en bestuur wat werklik omgee oor hulle besoekers. Dit is een van die min kampterreine waar kampers veilig voel veral in die nag. Dit is verseker 'n kamp wat weer en weer besoek kan word.

En koes vir die muggies. — Anonymous, Poland Fantastic 30 November 2009 What a beautiful place, friendly people, tasty food, fantastic. I will really like to go there one day again and stay over for longer. — Erika Potgieter, South Africa It was great. 04 October 2009 Ablution blocks were clean and neat. — Ria V D Westhuizen, South Africa Recommended 16 September 2009 Lekker gebly, dankie — Celia Mynhardt, South Africa Oranjerus Resort 30 August 2009 Lovely place, with kind managers. Far from shops (which are in Upington) though so be prepared if you are to self cater as restaurant is closed on Monday nights, which we did not know and did not see anywhere on website. — Jane Sinclair, South Africa Oranjerus Resort 09 July 2009 It was a wonderful peaceful experience! We will stay there again. Thank you. — Marinda Mare, South Africa Fish River Canyon Stop Over 22 June 2009 We were a group of 20 people in transit to hike the Fish River Canyon. Without question, everyone in the group were impressed and really enjoyed the stop over at Oranjerus Resort. The chalets are comfortable and the food was excellent - very good value for money. — Marian Hill, South Africa Excellent 11 June 2009 Uitstekend — Coenie Van Rensburg, South Africa Highly recommended 22 May 2009 We were 14 adults that occupied 4 Chalets on route to Namibia's Fish River Canyon. We all thoroughly enjoyed the stay especially on our return from the hike as we were craving for a decent bed. the restaurant owner kept our meat frozen for us for a week until our return and not many establishments would accommodate something like that. Its only a pity none of us took fishing rods along to attempt catching something out of the mighty Orange River. i'd reccommend anyone travelling to Namibia for the Fish River Canyon hike to break up their journey and stay at the beautiful Oranjerus resort. — Suleman Moola, South Africa Was absolutely lovely!! 13 November 2008 Thank you so very much for booking us at Oranjerus Resort!! The Resort is Beautiful!! The service and welcome we received was wonderful!! Had a super time!! — Larry Biggs, South Africa Very good 26 October 2008 Most enjoyable, we were camping & I have never seen cleaner ablution blocks — Liz Attree, South Africa Very pleasant 01 September 2008 On our return to Gauteng we stayed at Oranjerust again. We had a very pleasant stay Good value for money — Anonymous, South Africa Fantastic 20 July 2008 The luxury cottages that we stayed in were fantastic, wonderful position right on the river, what a spot. Nothing could be faulted, will definitely be back next time in the area. Thanks once again — Anonymous, South Africa LCCSA enjoyed their stay at Oranjerus 19 June 2008 Oranjerus was a stopover for our group en route to the Richtersveld for a 9-day 4x4 trip. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Dinner and Breakfast was superb - thank you very much. We will definitely recommend Oranjerus to the rest of our members in the Land Cruiser Club Southern Africa as a stopover for trips to the south-western part of RSA/Namibia. — Roland Bergh, South Africa Very quiet 14 May 2008 We spent there just a night and we had everything that we needed. It is very quiet place close to the river. I'd recommend that for the travellers with children. — Karin Dronia, Namibia Very good 01 May 2008 Very comfortable and a lovely place — angie botha, South Africa Baie mooi 07 January 2008 Oulik, skoon en baie mooi. — Ronel Barnard, South Africa Well done 10 July 2007 Neat campsite, ablution facilities the best i have experienced thus far. Well done! — Anonymous Very good 27 June 2007 We stayed over for 1 night only on our way to the West Coast, the accommodation was very neat and exactly what we needed for the price we payed. — Dawie Martins, South Africa Great Stuff !!! 9 May 2007 Well impressed. Had a wonderful time. — Jean Burger, South Africa Space, quiet and stars 10 March 2007 This place offered just what we needed for a couple of day's rest and recouperation! Although they are still building the restaurant - and building noises were all around, it was also wonderful to see the local people employed and hard at work as a team. It did not intrude at all. We look forward to enjoying some more meals there some time! — Lydia Juliana-Jones, South Africa Bron: www.safarinow.com ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Click on the link below to read more http://www.mnet.co.za/Kyknet/shows/displayShow.asp?ID=61&Type=epi&eid=2827 http://www.safarinow.com/go/oranjerus/ http://www.campsa.co.za/sites/campsa/campsa.nsf/0/603d5c57efff9b4b4225726400687f84!OpenDocument&Click= http://www.northerncape.org.za/accommodation/?acc_name=&town_id=&acc_cat_id=&pageNum=31&totalRows=754 http://www.accommodationtourism.co.za/index.php?option=com_bi&task=details&catid=4730&id=3201&Itemid=81 |
