Fantastic! Safe and peaceful! Lots for the kids to do. Quiet, safe. Was privileged to see 3 of the Big 5: buffalo, rhino and her baby, the elephant and her baby. Lots of antelope. Lots of things for the kids to do.

Fantasties! Veilig en rustig! Baie vir die kinders om te doen. Rustig, veilig. Was bevoorreg om 3 van die Groot 5 te sien: buffel, renoster en haar babatjie, die olifante en haar babatjie. Baie bokke. Baie goed vir die kinders om te doen.

Everything we needed and more. A lovely clean and comfortable unit! We had a lovely weekend! Everything we needed was available at the unit, with many added extras. It was also very clean, comfortable and neat; the unit is very well looked after and would definitely visit Uitspan 253 again.

Clean, neat and lovely. We enjoyed our stay. The property is well maintained, clean and well stocked with everything you need in a self-catering unit. There are always animals throughout the day and night coming by the house.

Absolute paradise. Enjoyed every moment of our stay! Best stay ever! It was once again a fantastic stay at Uitspan 253 - the place is a gem! Absolute value for money. Everything you need is there and the place offers excellent relaxation, amenities and scenery. Lots of animals come to say hello daily and the swimming pool is refreshing!

Absolute lushof. Geniet elke oomblik van ons verblyf! Beste kuier ooit! Dit was weereens 'n fantastiese kuier by Uitspan 253 - die plek is 'n juweel! Absoluut waarde vir geld. Alles wat jy nodig het, is daar en die plek bied uitstekende ontspanning, geriewe en natuurskoon. Baie diere kom groet daagliks en die swembad is verfrissend!

Come visit this place a thousand times over. Food for the soul, sun for the heart. It was excellent! Wow! I will definitely come back to visit. The place is beautiful, practical, so beautiful and we saw so many animals. Everything was wonderful. Comfortable. Stunning layout and everything you need was there. The braai, the swimming, the relaxing are all too nice. The visit on the porch is blissful and experiencing nature from the porch is unforgettable. A gem of a place.

Duisend maal weer 'n keer kom kuier plekkie. Kos vir die siel, son vir die hart. Dit was uitstekend! Wow! Ek sal definitief weer kom kuier. Die plek is pragtig, prakties, so mooi en ons het so baie diere gesien. Alles was wonderlik. Gerieflik. Stunning uitleg en alles wat jy nodig het, was daar. Die braai, die swem, die uitspan is al te lekker. Die kuier op die stoep is salig en om die natuur van die stoep af te beleef, is onvergeetlik. 'n Juweel van 'n plekkie.

Would recommend for families with small kids. The Lodge was exactly as advertised - and more. There was more than enough crockery, cutlery etc. to service the number of guests and more. The little extras made the stay very pleasant - for example, plastic mugs for the little kids, more than enough braai tongs and equipment. The pool has a safety cover that the warthogs walked on without falling in.

Very nice. Quiet. Perfect for a group of 6. Uitspan 253 is perfect for a bushveld getaway. We look forward to our next visit.

Baie lekker. Rustig. Perfek vir 'n groep van 6. Uitspan 253 is perfek vir 'n bosveld wegbreek. Ons sien uit vir ons volgende kuier.
