"Despite the damage of the recent floods, Oranjerus was still an inviting attraction. The restaurant on the deck overlooking the Orange River is special to say the least. Service at the resort is friendly and the rooms are comfortable and neat. "

"The location and views are stunning "

"The location is nice.I liked the view from our Riverview cottage. Sadly the safety and security didn't have me feeling too safe, signs all over warning you of theft. The restaurant is closed on Mondays and Sundays "

"The festival was fantastic, we would love to go again. The accommodation was good, clean and the bathrooms were excellent."

"All was well, except no clear markings for exit especially leaving in the dark early morning"

"Relaxing atmosphere next to the Orange River."

"Good grassed and shady camp sites with neat and clean communal ablutions. Their permanent tents are well equipped and perfectly comfortable."

"We stayed in one of the business rooms for our stay for one night. We arrived at 2pm to find out that the restaurant and bar close at 3pm. Therefore we could not order dinner or drinks. Our room was great. Breakfast was also amazing the following morning. "

"Beautiful setting at an unbeatable price!"

"Very nice, clean and value for money!"

"GOOD CMFORTABLE TENTS MET PEOPLE THERE WE SAW ON OTHER PLACES GERAT RESTURANT GOOD FOOD AND COLD BEER"

"The establishment was clean and maintained, the restaurant was fair as well, the views of the river from the deck were excellent.
We were robbed during the night, car window smashed, so take care of your valuables, maybe put them in your pillow case."

"Good, clean facility and good service. Food (breakfast & dinner) was very well cooked. Great people and a place where one needs to spend a few days to really appreciate the setting."

"Very comfortable tented camps, great Deck to have meals on with delicious food! Really sad we could only stay there for one night! I will highly recommend this place!"

"Baie lekker gekuier en gerus. Baie dankie vir die gasvryheid en vriendikheid. Sal beslis weer so maak."

"Accomodation at Oranjerus was very nice. Bathrooms need a desperate upgrade, but the chalet was neat and spacious. Beautiful views of the Orange River. Will recommend this."

"Friendly, efficient reception. Clean and neat room. Great restaurant and deck with lovely view of river!"

"Thank you for a peaceful stay. We will recommend it to any one."

"Very nice stay. Lovely restaurant. Very clean campsite and ablutions."

"A beautiful setting and had all the amenities. Wish we could have explored further."

"Baie gerieflike en netjiese chalets teen die rivier. Restaurant het n pragtige uitsig oor rivier.Die karavaanpark is lowergroen met die mooiste bome. Goeie waarde vir geld."

"A very spacious, comfortable unit with nice braai facilities and a beautiful view of the River. Also a very good restaurant with reasonable prices and lots of grass and open spaces for the kiddies to play safely. Definitely a very attractive stop over, but probably well worth a few days stay as well..."

"It was a great place to stay. Nice setting on the banks of the river."

"Good value for money. Facilities are clean staff are friendly."

"Beautiful place enjoyed my 1 night stop over. "

"Great place, love the view from the restaurant!"

"Ons as n familie het baie lekker gebly, ons sal enige tyd weer daar gaan bly. Baie dankie vir die mooi staanplekke."

"It was very nice to stay at Oranjerus. The tent was neat and comfortable, the resort was neat and the people very friendly. Will certainly revisit again."

"Baie dankie vir 'n ongelooflike tydjie by Oranjerus Oord, glo my, ek bemark julle al van die oomblik wat ons daar aangekom het en nog steeds. Die restaurant en personeel was so gaaf, die kamers was so netjies en alles so ontspanne. Baie baie dankie. Julle is stunning!!!"

The restaurant had an awesome deck over the river and the food prepared by the chef was excellent! We stayed in the safari tents and the ablutions were excellent - spotlessly clean and modern. The best by far that we've ever experienced! We will be back."

"Baie aangename verblyf. Sal weer kom.

Very pleasant accommodation. Will come again."

"What a lovely camping resort! The ablution facilities are fantastic, offering spacious shower cubicles with glass doors with their own basin, counter and mirror! It was all very clean. There are lovely shaded grass campsites next to the Orange River with buck walking around. They had a lovely swimming pool and neatly kept grounds. It is pet friendly as we had our puppies with us and kept them on a lead at all times as not to irritate the other campers. Thank you Oranjerus, we will definitely come back and relax to break our long journey to Namibia! Keep up the good work!"

"It was a pleasant welcome and we enjoyed it very much. We will make use of the resort in the future, and promote them to anyone who needs to stay over in the area."

"A quiet and tranquil stop over. Will stay a day longer next time!"

"We enjoyed our stay."

"Had a very pleasant stay. Liked the neat camping grounds, 5 Star ablution blocks and smart restaurant, which served us a great breakfast before our departure. We will definitely visit again."

"We were extremely impressed with all the facilities available at the resort. The ablution facilities were always clean, the design and fittings are of the best quality.

"We were extremely impressed with all the facilities available at the resort. The ablution facilities were always clean, the design and fittings are of the best quality. The restaurant was also great and I spent my birthday enjoying their food. Sun downers on the deck overlooking the dam was exquisite! The best of all was that all of this was at an affordable price. Thank you for a lovely peaceful stay."

"We stayed over for one night in a semi permanent tent and it was amazing. The tent was properly equipped to deal with the cold winter conditions and the ablution facilities were top class.

Go there and see for yourself."

"We were in a tent and with the cold weather starting I thought we might be cold. However, a small heater provided kept us very warm."

"Wat kan mens s� - die naam s� alles. Ons het lekker gerus op die walle van die Oranjerivier. Baie tevrede, alles was skoon en netjies. Beddens slaap lekker en badkamers is heeltemal voldoende met net 'n stort. As mens die oorstromings in Januarie in ag neem het hierdie mense gewoeker om alles so gou..."

"Wat kan mens s� - die naam s� alles. Ons het lekker gerus op die walle van die Oranjerivier. Baie tevrede, alles was skoon en netjies. Beddens slaap lekker en badkamers is heeltemal voldoende met net 'n stort. As mens die oorstromings in Januarie in ag neem het hierdie mense gewoeker om alles so gou as moontlik weer in plek te kry. Ek is skoon opgewonde om die eindproduk te sien wanneer al die 'renovations' klaar is. Ons het uitsluitlik net met Nicolaas te doen gekry. Nicolaas is 'n 'all-rounder' soos min. Vra hom iets en hy het die antwoord. As chef is hy briljant - hy het 'n passie vir kos en sy toewyding maak dat al die disse uitstekend lyk en proe. Nogmaals dankie vir 'n lekker tyd by hierdie oord. Mag God julle seen en mag julle veel meer kry as wat julle ooit kan dink of vra.

What can we say - the name says everything. We had an amazing rest on the banks of the Orange River. Very satisfied, everything was clean and neat. Beds are comfortable and bathrooms more than appropriate with a shower. If you take the floods of January into account, they really did a great job of putting everything back together. Can't wait to see the place when all the renovations are done. We worked exclusively with Nicolaas who is an all-rounder of note. He is brilliant as a chef and knows about food and how to make things taste and look nice. Again, thank you for a fantastic time at the resort. May God bless you and give you more than you expect or ask for. "

"We have stayed at nine other resorts on our tour and this is the only park that I will rate, thank your very much. Everything was 100%."

"Having had problems with my dual battery system, the staff arranged that the manager of the local Midas opened after hours to allow me to get a charger, else I would have to cancel my holiday. The cleanest, neatest campsite we have visited in a long time. It was a real pity we couldn't stay longer,..."

The cleanest, neatest campsite we have visited in a long time. It was a real pity we couldn't stay longer, but will visit again!"

"Ons het heerlik daar gekuier, die kos was uitstekend, die plek is pragtig netjies en skoon. Ek sal definitief weer daar gaan bly as ons in die omgewing is."

"We had to cut our stay short, however fully enjoyed our stay and the friendliness of the staff as well as guests which we have met."

"Although we were there for a short time, we enjoyed it and will definitely stay there again."

" Beautiful and peaceful place."

"Verblyf was wonderlik by Oranjerus. ons is net spyt ons het nie langer daar gebly nie. Maar sal beslis weer terug gaan vir 'n langer kuier. Dis pragtig en rustig daar. 'n Ware paradys. En die personeel baie profesioneel en vriendelik en behulpsaam."

"Neem net muskietafweermiddel saam. En koes vir die muggies."

"What a beautiful place, friendly people, tasty food, fantastic. I will really like to go there one day again and stay over for longer."

"Ablution blocks were clean and neat."

"Lekker gebly, dankie"

"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. "

"It was a wonderful peaceful experience! We will stay there again. Thank you. "

"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."

"Uitstekend"

"We were 14 adults that occupied 4 Chalets on route to Namibia's Fish River Canyon.

"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. "

"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!! "

"Most enjoyable, we were camping & I have never seen cleaner ablution blocks"

"On our return to Gauteng we stayed at Oranjerust again. We had a very pleasant stay

Good value for money"

"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"

"The selfcatering unit was tidy but the kitchen utensils (especially pots and pans) and the fridge are in need of upgrading. The fridge is too small for the size of the unit and the thermostat was lying loose in the fridge. Although set at 'normal' all our food was frozen the next morning.

"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..."

"Lovely clean, neat, and comfortable rooms. Would make use of this resort again should we ever be in the area again."

"Oranjerus is one beautiful little hidden treasure just outside of a little dorpie (Upington) in the middle of nowhere. What a great surprise we got when we stopped and got out at the restaurant overlooking the Oranje River. After a long trip (13hours) it was definitely a place you wanted to over night at. The tented unit was quant and just what we needed for a one night stop over. They were extremely accommodating and the camp area was gorgeous. Bathrooms were gorgeous. Sitting on the banks of the Oranje River was just breathtaking. The on-site restaurant was lovely, food was good and so nice for us as one nighters. We will definitely be back and definitely not just for one night"

"Oranjerus is ideally positioned on the banks of the Orange River
We spent 2 weeks travelling in Namibia and used Oranjerus as a stopover on both legs of the journey.
It met our needs perfectly
The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable
We enjoyed having the extra space provided by the 2 bedroom cottages and it was very useful having the kitchen and dining space even though we ate dinner in the restaurant on both evenings
The food and service at the restaurant was excellent
On both occasions we sat outside on the dining deck and were treated to a wonderful sunset over the river - altogether a great way to start and end an exciting holiday
We would be more than happy to return
"

"This is paradise galore. Excellent facilities beautiful views. Good first impressions lasts forever."

"Neat and cozy accommodation, situated in a nice area (next to the Orange River). Family friendly. I would definitely recommend it. "

"Attractive camp site by the river. Permanent tents had bedding, fan heater (needed given the sub zero temps), kettle and towels.

A pleasant over night stop to break a long journey."

"We came all the way from Cape Town and really enjoyed every minute of the 2 days we stayed at Oranjerus! The owners & staff are so friendly!

"A definite FIVE STAR rating from me!

"Business Room" was absolute value for money. The waitrons and kitchen staff were exceptional - their friendliness and passion was refreshing, to say the very least. By special request, breakfast was served earlier - it exceeded my wildest expectations!

The scenary was beautiful too. Oranjerus will definitely see me again!"

"Ons het oornag in 'n 2-slaapkamer chalet, wat baie netjies en goed toegerus is. Dis 'n stil, rustige oord. Die mooi kampterrein is op die rivieroewer geleë met besonder netjiese ablusieregiewe. Baie dankie, ons het dit geniet!"

"Great experience to stay in a tent. Reception was friendly, and was very helpful. Had to phone to get directions and this was not a problem. Nice and quiet place, will visit them again."

"We stopped at Oranjerus Resort on our way to the Kgalgadi Transfrontier Park. We were just looking for a place to stay for the night but we got so much more. Pieter the owner is extremely hospitable and immediately made us feel comfortable. We settled into the comfortable and tastefully furnished rooms very quickly. I must say that they serve some of the best pizza I have ever eaten. We were leaving for the KTP early the next morning so Pieter and his team packed a breakfast for us. They were so generous with both variety and quantity that we were sated for most of the next day. I would recommend Oranjerus resort to anyone planning a stop in Upington."

Absolute value for money and highly recommended to all my friends and family and for you that’s looking for an experience of a lifetime."

The staff were friendly and the facilities were honestly much better than I expected for the price we paid. For the people staying self-catering, there aren't any utensils, plates or glasses in the chalets, but they do have a great restaurant on the premises.

I would suggest Oranjerus as a stop over to anybody travelling in that direction!"
