Oranjerus Resort

Great spot, bad management

Reviewed By nicodejager2

I booked long in advance for 2 couples. However, when we arrived (17h00 on 1 June 2022), the chalet was not ready and we were moved back and forth between chalet 1 and 2. Chalet 2 was dirty and chalet 1 was clean but was lacking something. I did not expect a welcome party to meet us on arrival, but we got the total opposite. We had to wait quite a while after arrival before somebody noticed us and attended to us. However, after a while a young and kind gentleman (forgot his long name) appeared and got us sorted. Later on he came around and offered us a 50% refund. I perceived this as a kind gesture and it made-up for some of the discomfort which we experienced. However, I doubt whether it will solve the management problem which was clearly absent when we arrived.

Le Must Residence is a superior, boutique guest house on the banks of the verdant Orange River, in the business centre of Upington. The Residence is reminiscent of the great Italian villas of the lake district of Italy and is lush with antiquities, heirlooms and an eclectic mix of modern furniture and other treasures collected from all over the world. Le Must River Residence with 9 bedroom en-suites, is a haven of peace and tranquillity and will host you with comfort. We are proud to be a non-hotel property.

His work in the industry has been recognised on many platforms. He is the author of 3 heritage cookbooks that celebrate South African food. Klein Geluk in Nieu Bethesda [Graaff Reinet] are part of his unique, collection.

Le Must is absolutely a wonderful place to stay. We were received so friendly; even setting out cutlery, plates and spices etc so that we can have our own braai. The setting is so beautiful as the house is looking out on the river with a stunning sunset !

Sleepover

We slept here on our way to Namibia. Room is clean and comfortable. Nice gardens and pool. Reception was friendly and effective. Parking safe but little cramped. Close to restaurants and mall. For the price it is good value for money. Ideal for short stays

Try a little harder

Reviewed By Golda M

A few years ago, we enjoyed staying at the Desert Palace. Now, the standard of service, food, and the rest is extremely low. What a huge disappointment. Although the rooms were clean, our luxurious room was just very normal. Apparently, there were supposed to be 2 double beds, we only had one. Also, we received two big towels and two small ones on the first day, which is good, but afterward we always had to fight room service to bring us enough towels. Also, most of the electric wall sockets did not work in our room. We also struggled for a full day to get our TV working. They kept on telling us it is fixed now but did not come to check or do a follow-up visit. Management, please teach your people about quality checks and serving guests. After that day (we stayed 3 days), the lady waiter brought us someone else's ribs and tried to convince us it was the lamb chops we ordered. My goodness, management, don't you train your waiters to understand the difference between ribs and lamb chops? By the time we got the lamb chops, we could not eat it. It was tougher than the dirty plastic cloth on the tables. Also, our order of wine never came, even after reminding the lady waiter several times. The adult children's pizza was very nice though. Furthermore, one could not relax next to the swimming pool. There were no chairs or anywhere to just enjoy the water in the incredible heat. The mature lady that is usually behind the front desk was the only person who gave us a good service. A man, who looked like an Indian chap, ate big plates of fatty chips and Russians at the front desk while us guests were waiting to be served. The whole front desk stank of fatty food. He then served us with dirty hands. I cannot tell you how utterly disappointed we were. The fall from where this hotel used to be in the past and where it is now, is very sad. If you don't pull up your socks and start to understand the hotel industry and make it work, many of your employees are going to lose their jobs, due to management incompetency. We never saw a manager anywhere. Management needs to wander around and interact with guests to make sure they have a happy stay. It's a matter of excellence and professionalism, it does not matter if you are a 3 star or 5 star. hotel. Come on, guys, you need to be much better than this. It all about exerting leadership, from everyone, even from the lowest of your personnel. Teach them that, self-worth and dignity. It was nowhere to be seen.

Great stop over

Reviewed By klthompson1

I was heading out of the park and needed somewhere as a stop off. The rooms are wonderfully appointed and the pool is a welcome feature in the Upington heat. The owners were very accommodating and gave me a lift to the bus stop due to my stay being on a public holiday. Would recommend and will be stopping there again. Secure parking and WiFi available.

This was a perfect stay. Just perfect. Really perfect.

Reviewed By Jurgen B

We rarely "love love love" a stay but here we can say that. It was a safe place, the room was grand and very comfortable and the breakfast was just excellent. Also the price was quite low for so much quality offered. But it's the hosts, Celeste and Aldert, that make this place so special and so very very welcoming.
