Wonderful time at Hornbills Nest! As a large family with kids, we had a wonderful time at Hornbills Nest. The room configuration was perfect for us, and it was a lovely weekend break!

Wonderful guest house. Wonderful house with lots of space and nice entertaining areas. It was ideal for a large group of friends who wanted to spend the weekend together. Would definitely recommend it.

Wonderlike kuier-huis. Wonderlike huis met baie spasie en lekker kuierareas. Dit was ideaal vir 'n groot groep vriendinne wat die naweek saam wou spandeer. Sal dit definitief aanbeveel.

Have a nice weekend getaway! Very nice weekend getaway with friends. The hostess was very helpful and went out of her way to make sure the house was ready and that we would be comfortable. The only suggestion I would make is that there should be more toilet paper provided, as well as insecticide (like Doom) for all the ants. There should also be a back-up in case of a power outage, because if the power is out, there is no water either. Unfortunately, we had to pack up early on Sunday morning and go home, because we could not bathe, flush toilets or cook without electricity.

Lekker naweek wegbreek! Baie lekker naweek wegbreek saam met vriende. Die gasvrou was baie hulpvaardig en het uit haar pad gegaan om seker te maak die huis was reg en dat ons gemaklik sal bly. Al voorstel wat ek sal maak, is dat daar asb. meer toiletpapier voorsien moet word, asook insekdoder (soos Doom) vir al die miere. Daar moet ook asb. 'n back-up wees ingeval van 'n kragonderbreking, want as die krag af is, is daar ook nie water nie. Ons moes ongelukkig Sondagoggend vroeg oppak en huistoe gaan, omdat ons nie kon bad, toilette spoel of kosmaak sonder elektrisiteit nie.

Afternoon. Sorry for the inconvenience. We pack a lot of toilet paper, but will leave extra. We spray, but will then leave an extra bottle there. Sorry about the power. It was the power that went out at Mabilibgwe and the water pump is unfortunately going down. Will look for a small generator. Hope we see you again.

Middag. Jammer oor ongerief. Ons pak baie toiletpapier, maar sal wel ekstra los. Ons spuit, maar sal dan ekstra bottel daar los. Jammer oor krag. Dit was krag wat by Mabilibgwe afgegaan het en die waterpomp gaan ongelukkig af. Sal wel kyk vir 'n klein generator. Hoop ons sien julle weer.

Quiet weekend getaway. Clean and quiet. The visit was very nice.

Rustige naweek wegbreek. Netjies en rustig. Kuier was vreeslik lekker.

Excellent and quiet. Incredibly beautiful place, we also had wildlife visitors at the waterhole. Will definitely use Hornbills Nest again.

Uitstekend en rustig. Ongelooflike mooi plek, ons het ook wildbesoekers gehad by die watergat. Sal beslis weer van Hornbills Nest gebruikmaak.

Had a great time. Comfortable with everything needed. Clean and tidy, but needs some maintenance attention.

Baie lekker gekuier. Gerieflik met alles wat benodig word. Skoon en netjies, maar kort bietjie onderhoud-aandag.
