Really enjoyed staying here. Worth the money. It was definitely more than I expected. It was nice having wildlife visits on a daily basis. The house was in tip-top condition apart from the TV remote not working. The WiFi was also not working. Some of the outdoor lights were not working either, although I've seen numerous complaints about this from previous reviews, yet it's still not fixed. The house is located close to the shop and restaurant. Was a really good weekend, with the weather in our favour and finishing off the stay with a game drive before heading home. Will definitely want to stay at 250 Tlou Lodge again.

Awesome. Just gorgeous! We loved everything about the unit, especially the private pool and boma. Our friendly hostess went out of her way to make our stay as memorable as possible. We will definitely be back.

Very convenient and can be recommended. Beautiful house with everything you need. The boma which is a short distance from the house was a winner. Our grandson had a great time riding his bike in the courtyard on the pavement.

Baie gerieflik en kan aanbeveel word. Pragtige huis met alles wat jy nodig het. Die boma wat 'n entjie van die huis af is, was 'n wenner. Ons kleinkind het heerlik met sy fietsie in die binnehof op die plaveisel gery.

Have a nice day. The weather was not cooperative. We had a nice rest, but due to the rain we were unable to use the facilities. We are very satisfied with the unit.

Lekker gerus. Die weer het nie saamgespeel nie. Ons het lekker gerus, maar a.g.v. die reën kon ons nie die geriewe benut nie. Ons is heel tevrede met die eenheid.

Nice stay. We had a great stay. The cottage was comfortable with everything we needed. The 3 bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom, are really comfortable. The swimming pool and boma are a lovely relaxation area. The wooden stairs to the upper room need urgent attention.

Lekker gebly. Ons het baie lekker gebly. Die huisie was gerieflik met alles wat ons nodig gehad het. Die 3 slaapkamers, met elk sy eie volledige badkamer, is regtig gerieflik. Die swembad en boma is 'n heerlike ontspanningsarea. Die houttrappe na die boonste kamer kort dringend aandag.

Good enough. Good value for money. The unit is clean, but a bit run down. The shower heads for example didn't work, we had to take a bath. The water was brown and muddy, probably from rust or disuse. The thatched roof in the upper room is dusty, so bad for hay fever. The mattresses were good and slept well. Bring your own dishcloths etc., there are none. We extended our stay by a day and the host was more than helpful with that, thank you very much. They take a breakage deposit. Be sure to follow up for the refund. It doesn't happen automatically, so you can easily forget about it. Mabalingwe is a nice holiday or short break.

Goed genoeg. Goeie waarde vir geld. Die eenheid is skoon, maar bietjie vervalle. Die stortkoppe werk bv. nie, ons moes bad. Die water was bruin en modderig, sekerlik van roes of ongebruik. Die grasdak in die boonste kamer is stowwerig, so sleg vir hooikoors. Die matrasse was goed en slaap lekker. Bring eie opwaslappies ens., daar is geen. Ons het ons verblyf met 'n dag verleng en die gasheer was hulpvaardiger daarmee, baie dankie. Hulle neem vir 'n breekdeposito. Wees seker om op te volg vir die terugbetaling. Dit gebeur nie automaties nie, jy kan dus maklik daarvan vergeet. Mabalingwe is 'n lekker vakansie of kort wegbreek.

House was nice, the cleaning staff and agent made the stay disappointing. The agent was not doing his job. When we got to Mabilingwe, he hadn't sent the QR code, and when I called, he said, can I do him a favour and send all the information again on WhatsApp since he doesn't have access to his emails. Also, the cleaning team was still busy at the house at 14:30 and didn't want to wash the outside floor since she told us it's just going to rain again.

The email was sent well in time to the guest to provide us with the required documents to create the quote, and that never happened. It was explained that without the required information, they would be denied access. The guest only phoned us when they were already at the Mabalingwe gate and after being denied access. For their convenience, we then advised that they send the required information via WhatsApp to expedite their access. The cleaning company to which cleaning has been outsourced was informed on the same day about the unacceptable conduct of their staff. The management of the cleaning company further informed us that they went to the guest and apologised for the unacceptable conduct of their staff. We also wish to once more apologise for the inconvenience. The cleaning company has made an undertaking that it will not happen again and that necessary disciplinary measures will be taken.

The house needs TLC, the area is peaceful. The surroundings are peaceful, buffalo, goats and pigs walk right behind the house.

Die huis kort TLC, omgewing is rustig. Omgewing is rustig, buffels, bokke en varke loop reg agter die huis verby.
