Bokmakierie Country Lodge, Ladysmith, KZN

Nice enough. It might have been very nice about 20-30 years ago, but since everything is still from pre 2000, the rooms are showing their age quite badly.

Good reception from the guy who was working at night, he did his best. The place need better Management, their rates are not displayed and they charge per person. Lovely place, but doubt that I will visit them again

Area is very clean. Bedrooms too small at some point. Great location views from the pool side though too many frogs. Breakfast accommodating for kids as well.Rooms: 3/5

Beautiful garden, comfortable clean rooms, friendly staff who go the extra mile. Breakfast was delicious. I have stayed at other lodges in Ladysmith, but this lodge is by far the best. The prices are also good. The manager us friendly and accommating. Catherine was so kind and helpful from the time that we checked in.Rooms: 5/5

Good Location. Nice rooms with air-conditioning, Wifi and safe parking. I wouldn't recommend to include meals on your booking. Their food does not taste so good.They cook in house and the menu does not change.Rooms: 4/5

I lived in Ladysmith from 1986-2006. We booked many guests from the United States here. Several large groups as well. Service was impeccable. Price reasonable. Location great. And hosts were very affable.Rooms: 5/5

Place overall is in a fair condition. Bedding in my room did have a hole I'm it, Aircon did not work, was greeted by a spider and when I enquired about an iron, I was asked to take my clothing into the reception building. Ironing set up is in the corner of the kitchen area.

Totally disappointed! The room is very outdated. The bed is so low and the mattress is very uncomfortable. Booked a room for 2 . 1 set of towels when we arrived . Only 2 very lumpy pillows on the bed , 1 each . The bar fridge was not turned on. The plugs in the basins in the bathroom don't work. They have fancy taps with a lever for the plug , it doesn't release . You have to scratch with your fingernails to lift the plug. Aircon is outdated . Has been on for over an hour , the room temperature is the same. It turns on and off outside the room , down a flight of stairs . I have stayed at way better for MUCH less in Ladysmith.

The place has lots of potential, beautiful nature, top of a mountain and peaceful scenery. However thats were the fairytale stops, the rooms linen are dirty, pillows dirty and towels are old dirty and stained. Infact all linen are old and starting to show tearing. Fishmoths run around galore in the room. No 2 pin plugs for bed lamps. Staff is not very friendly and welcoming, but at least the food is good! Its a pity, but I will not return.
