Amazing experience. Our stay was wonderful. The unit is very well equipped and offered us real value. We enjoyed our stay and the view from the patio was definitely a highlight!

We enjoyed the place, but upon arrival the place was dirty; 2 bedrooms were in a. It was okay; however, a lot needs improvement.

Had a great time with a wonderful view. We had a lovely visit. The house is wonderful and the view even better. Lovely braai and boma area and the kudus came for a spin. As well as a little snake which caused some excitement. Lynette's service is fantastic, as are the other houses managed by her in Mabalingwe.

Heerlik gekuier met 'n wonderlike uitsig. Ons het 'n heerlike kuier gehad. Die huis is wonderlik en die uitsig nog beter. Lieflike braai- en boma-area en die koedoes het kom draai maak. So ook 'n slangetjie wat vir bietjie opwinding gesorg het. Lynette se diens is fantasties, net soos die ander huise wat deur haar in Mabalingwe bestuur word.

Baie mooi plek, baie lekker gekuier en ontspan. Die huis is baie netjies, baie lekker kuier-area. Mooiste uitsig.

Nice house with a beautiful view of the forest. The house is spacious with a nice outdoor living area. However, the kitchen is not equipped for a large group. Bring glasses and bowls etc. together. The kettle and toaster did not work. We had problems with the forest vehicle. The vehicle has been replaced with a second vehicle that needs to be pushed into motion. The vehicle stopped us in the woods and a third vehicle finally worked. We had to call a few times and got our deposit back after a few weeks.

Mooi huis met pragtige uitsig op die bosveld. Die huis is ruim met 'n lekker buite kuierarea. Die kombuis is egter nie toegerus vir 'n groot groep nie. Bring glase en bakke ens. saam. Die ketel en toaster het nie gewerk nie. Ons het probleme met die bosvoertuig gehad. Die voertuig is vervang met 'n tweede voertuig wat aan die gang gestoot moet word. Die voertuig het ons laat staan in die bos en 'n derde voertuig het uiteindelik gewerk. Ons moes 'n paar keer bel en het na 'n paar weke ons deposito terug gekry.

Hallo Thea. Die wifi wat tydelik buitewerking was, was agv die donderstorms en ons is ongelukkig afhanklik van Belanet ons diensverskaffer om ons by te staan. Dit is dadelik raporteer dus is jou stelling nie waar nie. Daar is heelwat huise in Mabalingwe wat ook beinvloed was deur die storm wie se routers ook vervang moes word. Dit is ook so aan jou verduidelik. Ons het ook moeite gedoen om al julle besittings wat julle agtergelaat het te laat aflewer in persoon. Jammer julle het nie die ervaring geniet nie.

Not very happy at all with what we got for the value we paid! When we checked in at 3 o'clock the place was still not ready. We paid R1600 plus R1500 deposit for a game drive van that we never drove. The money was not paid back to us either. The R1500 deposit for if something breaks was also not refunded after the 7 days. The Jacuzzi's water was very hot, we could not use it. There is also no button where you can set it lower. Outside are 2 rooms (we didn't use them at all). The first one's door cannot lock at all from the outside. So we are not at all satisfied with the service we got from the lodge.

Glad nie baie gelukkig met wat ons gekry het vir die waarde wat ons betaal het nie! Toe ons 3 uur inklok is die plek nog nie reg nie. Ons het R1600 plus R1500 deposito betaal vir 'n game drive bakkie wat ons nooit gery het nie. Die geld is ook nie aan ons terugbetaal nie. Die R1500 deposito vir as iets breek is ook nie terugbetaal na die 7 dae nie. Die Jacuzzi se water was baie warm, ons kon hom nie gebruik nie. Daar is ook nie 'n knoppie waar jy hom laer kan stel nie. Buite is 2 kamers (ons het hul glad nie gebruik nie). Die eerste se deur kan glad nie van buite af sluit nie. So ons is glad nie tevrede met die diens wat ons van die lodge af gekry het nie.

Hi Chantelle, Your feedback is unfortunately not entirely accurate. The vehicle was delivered (which you acknowledged), but someone in your group instructed the driver that you would not be using the vehicle. The driver returned with the vehicle. You have admitted it was a miscommunication. We were never notified that you had trouble with the lock. The room closes with a twist lock from the inside and a key for the inside is not necessary at all. One call could have fixed it. Sorry that your experience was not to your liking.

Hi Chantelle, Julle terugvoer is ongelukkig nie heeltemal akkuraat nie. Die voertuig was afgelewer (wat julle erken het), maar iemand in julle groep het die drywer instruksies gegee en gese dat julle nie die voertuig sou gebruik nie. Die drywer het teruggekeer met die voertuig. Julle het erken dit was 'n mis kommunikasie. Ons is nooit in kennis gestel dat julle gesukkel het met die slot nie. Die kamer sluit met 'n draai slot van binne en 'n sleutel vir binne is glad nie nodig nie. Een oproep kon dit reggestel het. Jammer dat julle ervaring nie na wense was nie.
