Wagon Wheel Country Lodge

Not good that’s all I’m gonna say! Very unhappy with the stay. They have small glass shelves in the bathroom right above the toilet, if you hit your head on it and break it you’re responsible to pay them R200 for fixing. A shelf with no purpose but just a hazard. Will most likely never stop here again.

We stayed in the standard twin room. It's pretty basic. Wifi so useless it's effectively non-existent. Cockroaches. Gaps of 2-3cms underneath entrance door and bathroom door. In contrast, the staff were pleasant. Price excessive for what is provided.

Yes, it’s a fairly basic motel on the main road between Jo burg and Cape Town, but it really deserves to be declared a South African national monument. You can only guess at the number of travellers who have stayed here over the years or seen it from the road. I recently stayed here again after a 40-year gap and loved every minute of it - the pure Karoo air, the friendliness of the staff and the surprisingly good restaurant. I enjoyed it so much that I returned for a second night. The smallest rooms are very small but if you choose a bigger room (not expensive), walk around the grounds and eat supper and breakfast here you are unlikely to regret it. Wagon Wheel deserves to go on for another 100 years. It probably will.

Very disappointed with place. Everything looks good on the pics but the pics are probably 5years old. It’s a motel and not a lodge. Pool area was run down and uninviting. The table in our room almost collapsed it was so unstable. Not suitable for kids at all but we specified that we bringing two kids with.
