Gordonia, Northern Cape hotel rooms at the Independent

"Staff were amazing at this property. From PJ our shuttle driver to reception and the amazing breakfast, I’d recommend this hotel to anyone. "

"Amazing is the only word to describe our stay. From the moment that we entered until we drove away we were treated exceptionally by everyone. Even though we stayed during off season and there were not many people staying at the lodge, all services were available for us. The food at the restaurant was very delicious and the wait staff is second to none. Our only complaint was that the air conditioner in our room was exceptionally loud. We definitely recommend staying here."

"Stayed at Lions Rest several times before. Convenient place to stay when arriving in Upington to go to Kalahari. Family run - very friendly. Fixtures and fittings are getting a bit 'tired' and in need of refreshing."

"Have stayed in Upington several times before but first time we have stayed at Browns Manor. Fully deserves 4 star rating. A green oasis in the Kalahari - massive koi carp a reap bonus. Staff really kind and helpful. Nice clean pool with shaded area and loungers. Good quality breakfast included."

"Great view, great facilities, great food"

"friendly efficient check in, nice room with A/C already working well. comfy bed, fridge & tea& coffee making facilities. only complaint was restaurant closes at 15.00 on Sundays (I was pre warned of this but it was still a bit of a pain!). would still stay there in future (but not on Sunday!)"

"Terrible experience at this hotel, i had booked a room with a river view, upon my arrival I was allocated a cube room, with no window and a partitioned balcony. I queried this and noticed that they gave my room to their frequent guest and I had to suffer as am not a regular at the property. I was later given a room which had a small window still not the room I had booked and paid for. Just when i though I had all the terrible experience the dinner was even worse i could not swallow their wings under cooked and covered with BBQ source which was very brown. "
