Well

Good value for money. Could be more hospitable. Beautiful surroundings and lovely climate especially to escape from the farm's winter.

Verblyf was voldoende vir wat ons betaal het.

Braaigeriewe by die eenhede sal 'n aanwins wees. Televisie het geen kontrole gehad nie. Gronde en geboue kort aandag. Die kamers was wel baie netjies en skoon gewees. Kos in die restaurant was regtig na smaak voorberei en die pryse was ook baie billik. Die personeel was ook baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons sal weer daar aanklop.

Accommodation was adequate for what we paid.

Braai facilities at the units will be an asset. Television had no control. Grounds and buildings need attention. The rooms were very neat and clean. Food in the restaurant was really prepared to taste and the prices were also very reasonable. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. We will knock there again.

Dit is 'n baie mooi en lieflike plek, maar baie verwaarloos.

Dit is 'n great plek met baie potensiaal, maar die slaapplek kort opknapping en aandag. Om 'n idee te gee van wat alles fout was in ons slaapplek: Dit was baie vuil ─ lanklaas skoongemaak, vals ooghare, haarknippies en klere tags het rondgelê. Die helfte van die ligte het nie gewerk nie. Die TV het nie 'n remote gehad nie en as jy die klank probeer stel, dan sit die TV vanself af. Die helfte van die skuifdeure het nie slotte gehad nie. Die yskas kon nie gestel word nie, want die knop aan die binnekant was gebreek. Die binne-lig van die yskas het ook nie gewerk nie. Die wasbakke in die badkamer het nie koue water gehad nie. Dit is nie groot goed om reg te maak nie, maar maar dit sal 'n verskil maak.

It is a very beautiful and lovely place, but very neglected.

It is a great place with a lot of potential, but the accommodation needs renovation and attention. To give an idea of what was wrong with our sleeping quarters: It was very dirty ─ hadn't been cleaned for a long time, fake eyelashes, hair clips and clothes tags were lying around. Half the lights didn't work. The TV did not have a remote and if you try to adjust the sound, the TV turns itself off. Half of the sliding doors had no locks. The fridge could not be set because the knob on the inside was broken. The interior light of the fridge also did not work. The sinks in the bathroom did not have cold water. It's not a big thing to fix, but it will make a difference.

Dit was 'n baie lekker ervaring.

Met aankoms is ons baie gasvry ontvang, ons het egter voor die voorgestelde tyd daar opgedaag en die kamer was onmiddellik beskikbaar, wat ons baie waardeer het, aangesien die paaie ongelooflik besig was en ons redelik uitgeput. Kamers is baie netjies en die feit dat daar "air con" in die kamer was het dit vergemaklik aangesien dit baie warm was. Ons sal wel voorstel dat hul dalk 'n mikrogolf in die kamer kan hê, aangesien ons gebraai het en daar geen geriewe was om dit op te warm na die tyd. Ook geen eetgerei, veral as daar in ag geneem word dis 'n selfsorgeenheid en braaigeriewe beskikbaar gestel word, maar verder het ons die naweek baie geniet, pragtige plek en baie goed versorg.

It was a very nice experience.

On arrival we were greeted very hospitably, however we got there before the suggested time and the room was immediately available, which we really appreciated as the roads were incredibly busy and we were quite exhausted. Rooms are very neat and the fact that there was "air con" in the room made it easier as it was very hot. We would suggest that they might have a microwave in the room, as we had a barbecue and there were no facilities to heat it up afterwards. No cutlery either, especially considering it's a self-catering unit and braai facilities are made available, but otherwise we really enjoyed the weekend, beautiful place and very well looked after.

Teleurstellend.

Lekker vir oorslaap, maar nie baie rustig nie.

Die kamers was skoon en netjies en is elke dag skoongemaak ook. Dit bevat 'n ketel en teekoppies. Dit is lekker as jy iewers moet oorslaap, maar ek sou nie dit voorstel as 'n wegbreek self nie, want van die kamers is baie naby aan die ontvangs en is dus baie raserig van vroeg af. As gevolg van die opvoedingsgeleenthede is daar ook baie skole in die dag, wat wonderlik is, behalwe as jy rustig wil wees. Die mense wat die skoolbussies bestuur speel ook baie harde musiek. Die gronde is mooi, behalwe na besoekgroepe wat hulle gemors oral agterlaat. Die mense wat daar werk is baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Ons het net een keer nie diens gekry by die restaurant nie en toe maar gery, maar die res was uitstekend. Kos is lekker en waarde vir geld. Klein yskassies in die kamers sal ‘n groot aanwins wees.

Nice for a sleepover, but not very peaceful.

The rooms were clean and tidy and were cleaned every day as well. It contains a kettle and teacups. It's nice if you need somewhere to sleep over, but I wouldn't suggest it as a break itself as some of the rooms are very close to reception and therefore very noisy from early on. Because of the educational opportunities, there are also many schools during the day, which is great, except if you want to be quiet. The people who drive the school buses also play very loud music. The grounds are beautiful, except for visiting groups who leave their rubbish everywhere. The people who work there are very friendly and helpful. Only once did we not get service at the restaurant and then just drove, but the rest was excellent. Food is tasty and value for money. Small fridges in the rooms would be a great asset.

Nie as gaste hanteer nie.

Die beddegoed in die kamer was effens vuil. Daar was nie ekstra komberse nie. Daar was een dag nie vars handdoeke na die kamer gebring nie en die oues was geneem en dus kon ons nie behoortlik stort nie. Die krag was af vir 'n tydjie gedurende die dag toe ons wou gereed gemaak het vir aandete saam met vriende en kon bv. nie hare blaas of ons fone laai nie. Die leeus maak dit baie steurend om in die aand te slaap en die kalkoene en tarentale begin vroegoggend jou uit die slaap hou. Daar was ook van die personeel wat vroeg in die oggend goed begin saag en sweis het wat dit baie onaangenaam gemaak het om lekker te rus (die rede van die verblyf was om te rus). Dit is ongelooflik mooi daar, maar Letaba maak dit moeilik om dit ten volle te geniet.

Not treated as guests.

The bedding in the room was slightly dirty. There were no extra blankets. One day fresh towels were not brought to the room and the old ones were taken and therefore we could not shower properly. The power was down for a while during the day when we wanted to get ready for dinner with friends and could e.g. not blow hair or charge our phones. The lions make it very disturbing to sleep in the evening and the turkeys and partridges start to keep you awake in the early morning. There were also some of the staff who started sawing and welding things early in the morning which made it very unpleasant to have a good rest (the reason for the stay was to rest). It is incredibly beautiful there, but Letaba makes it difficult to fully enjoy it.

Very bad!!

Dirty, dark, old and broken. Black bedding - no duvets. They certainly can't wash the "throws" over the bed every time. Toilet broken. Bath faucet fell off. Bathroom with 5 very steep stairs to the top - danger at night! No bath mats. Dump black slate stone that is dirty. The roof so low from the shower that the steam condenses on the roof and cold drops drip on you while you take a hot shower. Bar area and porch dirty, full of dust and leaves. No WIFI and signal - can't work from there. Cockroaches under the boiler. Water not suitable for human consumption - they only give 1 liter of bottled water to use. Old glass doors make so much noise at night as people enter and exit their rooms. The curtains dirty and torn. Everyone walks past the room and looks into the room - no privacy. We were in room 31. We immediately moved to Sanloo Manor!!

Great place to visit and experience the cats.

We really enjoyed our stay. The staff were friendly and the rooms were lovely. Having the lions roar all around you in the evening and morning was special to us. The food was okay, but it could improve. I would suggest they send the chefs for a bit of training. It would then be a top destination place.

Dankbaar ons het nie vir meer nagte bespreek nie.

Definitief nie vir bejaardes nie, heeltemal te veel trappe. Alhoewel die dekor en omgewing mooi was, het die 5 klein kokkerotjies by die ketel, die grote teen die muur, die TV wat nie gewerk het nie en die kroeg wat geen ciders of wyn gehad het nie, die kuier versuur.

Ons verblyf by Letaba River Lodge was onvergeetlik en ek sal weer, en weer, en weer daar gaan oornag.

Vanaf ons aankoms is ons met vriendelikheid ontvang deur die personeel en kan ek byvoeg die reuk van die kos in die Restaurant het my mond laat water! Die kamer was baie netjies dog eenvoudig, alles wat mens sou nodig kry vir 'n kort wegbrekie. Ons het gemaklik geslaap en die badkamer is regtig iets om oor huis toe te skryf! Die aande kon nie afgesluit word sonder 'n heerlike borrelbad in die hoekbad nie. Vrydagaand het ons heerlik langs die swembad gebraai terwyl jy die gebrul van die leeus as musiek in jou ore het. Die Saterdag was onvergeetlik toe ons interaksie met die diere gehad het, op 'n wildrit gegaan het en ook die "Leeu Loop" gedoen het. Kan ek net noem dat tydens hierdie aktiwiteite was die personeel so vriendelik en bedagsaam nie net teenoor ons nie maar ook teenoor die diere. Die diere is met soveel liefde en respek hanteer en vice versa. Dit was regtig wonderlik om te sien hoe opgewonde (as ek dit so kan noem) hierdie wilde diere raak as hulle "handlers" met hulle gesels en speel. Die gidse is baie goed opgelei en vertel jou vreeslike interessante feite oor al die diere. Tydens die Lion Walk waar ons saam met die groot leeus in die veld gaan stap het, het die gidse regtig uit hul pad gegaan om ons so ontspanne en gemaklik moontlik te maak en aan die einde was ons almal gemaklik met hierdie reuse, majestiese diere en wou ons nie groet nie! Die aand het ons heerlik en bekostigbaar in die restaurant geëet. Die kos was regtig smaaklik. Die kinders het die tafeltennis en snoeker baie geniet. Beide ons kinders (9 en 17) het heeltyd iets gehad om te doen en het die naweek vreeslik geniet. Baie dankie aan die Bestuur wat uit hul pad gegaan het om alles vir ons so gemaklik moontlik te maak en wat selfs gereël het dat my jongste seun met die leeu-welpies mag speel omdat hy te kort is vir die "Lion Walk." Dit het sy dag gemaak toe hy vir die welpies melk kon gee! Sal ek Letaba River Lodge weer besoek? Absoluut!

Our stay at Letaba River Lodge was unforgettable and I will do it again, and again and again.

From our arrival we were received with friendliness by the staff and can also add that the smell of the food in the restaurant made my mouth water! The room was very neat though simple, with everything you could need for a short getaway. We had a comfortable night's sleep and the bathroom is really something to write home about! The evenings couldn't end without a lovely bubble bath in the corner bath! Friday evening we braai'd next to the swimming pool with the roars of lions as background music. The Saturday was unforgettable when we could interact with the animals, go on a game drive and also did the "Leeu Loop". Can also mention that during these activities the staff were so friendly and kind not only to us, but also to the animals. The animals are treated with so much love and respect and vice versa. It was truly wonderful to say how excited (if I can call it that) these wild animals get when their "handlers" talk to them and play with them. The guides are very well trained and tell you very interesting facts about all the animals. During the Lion Walk where we walked with big lions in the veld, the guides really went out of their way to make us feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible and at the end all of us were comfortable with these giant majestic animals and didn't want to say goodbye! The evening we had a good night's sleep and had an affordable meal at the restaurant. The food was tasty. The kids enjoyed the table tennis and snooker a lot. Both our children (9 and 17) always had something to do and enjoyed the weekend tremendously. Thanks to the management who went out of their way to make everything as convenient as possible and even arranged that my youngest son could play with the lion cubs because he was too short for the Lion Walk. It made his day when he could give milk to the cubs! Will I visit Letaba River Lodge again? Absolutely!

Great.

Lovely place and pretty food, it just doesn't taste good. Think they should work on that.

Heerlike verblyf in 'n ontspanne atmosfeer met gerieflike kamers.

Die verblyf is goeie waarde vir geld. Ontvangs was gemiddeld, en was maar stadig en nie baie behulpsaam nie. Die kamer was netjies, mooi dekor en goed toegerus. Die aandete was 'n groot teleurstelling. Die spyskaart was glad nie aanvaarbaar nie - boerewors met opgekookte hoenderstukke, smakeloos voorberei en die opdiening was power.

A lovely stay in a relaxing atmosphere with comfortable rooms.

The accommodation is good value for money. The reception was so-so and was a bit slow and not very helpful. The room was neat with nice decor and well equipped. Dinner was a big disappointment. The menu was not acceptable - sausage with cooked chicken pieces, tastelessly prepared and the serving was poor.

Wonderlik

Ek kan Letaba River Lodge beslis aanbeveel. Die personeel is vriendelik en behulpsaam, die kamers is baie netjies en skoon en die terrein self is baie netjies en skoon. Ons het die diere baie geniet. Die diere is goed versorg en die gidse wat jou vir interaksie na die diere vat is baie vriendelik en goed opgelei. Daar is net een woord - fantasies. Sal enige tyd weer van hulle gebruik en hulle tariewe is billik. En om nie eers te praat van die wonderlike lekkerste kos nie! Alle komplimente aan die kok. Die kos is fantasties.

Wonderful

I can definitely recommend Letaba River Lodge. The staff are friendly and helpful, the rooms are very neat and clean and the site itself is very neat and clean. We really enjoyed the animals. The animals are well cared for and the guides who take you to interact with the animals are very friendly and well trained. There is only one word - fantasies. Will use them again anytime and their rates are fair. And not to mention the most amazingly delicious food! All compliments to the cook. The food is fantastic.

Quiet and very beautiful next to the river.

The lodge can be amazing but needs attention. The restaurant is not to be recommended. The menu is only 3 options and it takes more than hour to receive toasts. There were only 4 soft drinks to choose from. There was e.g. kettle and microwave in room without a way to use them, there was not a wall plug within 1 meter. For the price, the accommodation is to be recommended. I believe it is a sensible function and reception venue but there are several things that need attention in terms of the thatched roofs, tiles etc. One almost gets the impression that certain things are not maintained. The predator park is impressive if that is one's type of thing, but personally it was not fun to see the predators in such small enclosures. However, there are apparently cheaper lodges in the area that offer more.

Dis 'n mooi omgewing met baie doendinge.

Die waterdruk was pateties. Die tweede dag was daar geen water nie en moes ons 'n ander eenheid se badkamer gebruik! Personeel was baie hulpvaardig, veral die gidse by die diere.

It's a beautiful environment with lots of things to do.

The water pressure was pathetic. The second day there was no water and we had to use another unit's bathroom! Staff were very helpful, especially the guides with the animals.

Die kamers is skoon en netjies.

Dit is 'n pragtige plek ideaal, vir funksies. Die ondervinding met die diere is baie spesiaal. Maar hulle kan gerus hul spyskaart opknap.

The rooms are clean and tidy.

It is a beautiful place ideal for functions. The experience with the animals is very special. But they can easily revamp their menu.

Sal die lodge glad nie aanbeveel nie.

Die kamer se een muur was vol muf wat die kamer bedompig gemaak het. Die glasdeur en vensters op die balkon is gebreek. Die ander gaste was so lawaaierig dat ons nie kon slaap nie. Hulle het buite die kamers gesit en bier drink en tot watter tyd van die nag buite gedans. Die lodge het glad nie wyn gehad nie en die spyskaart is baie basies. Ons het nie 'n goeie ondervinding gehad nie.

Would not recommend the lodge at all.

The room's one wall was full of mold which made the room stuffy. The glass door and windows on the balcony were broken. The other guests were so noisy that we couldn't sleep. They sat outside the rooms drinking beer and dancing outside until what time of the night. The lodge had no wine at all and the menu is very basic. We did not have a good experience.
