Wonderful, enjoyed the animals that came to visit, goats, birds, warthogs. Very nice unit, everything you need. Plus point that the unit is cleaned daily. Will definitely use it again.

Wonderlike, het diere geniet wat kom kuier het, bokke, voëls, vlakvarke. Baie mooi eenheid, alles wat nodige is. Plus punt dat eenheid daagliks skoon gemaak word. Sal dit verseker weer gebruik.

Happy with accommodation. The host/hostess was very accommodating. Communicated with us as needed. Very satisfied.

Gelukkig met akkommodasie. Die gasheer/gasvrou was baie akkommoderend. Het met ons gekommunikeer soos nodig. Baie tevrede.

Fantastic. It was a wonderful long weekend. A tap did leak in the master bedroom bathroom. The fridge and freezers were big enough for once. Will definitely book there again.

Fantasties. Dit was 'n wonderlike lang naweek. 'n Kraan het wel gelek in die hoofslaapkamer se badkamer. Die yskas en vrieskaste was vir eens groot genoeg. Sal beslis weer daar bespreek.

Feel at home. Feels like our 2nd home! Very neat and peaceful atmosphere! Can't wait to visit again.

Voel tuis. Voel soos ons 2de tuiste! Baie netjies en rustige atmosfeer! Kan nie wag om weer te kom kuier nie.

The bobcats are a problem, breaking open glass doors and destroying and taking your stuff. The place is very nice and the owner is very helpful with bobijane, just one problem.

Die bobijane n probleem breek glasdeure oop en verniel en vat jou goed. Plek is baie lekker en die eienaar is baie behulp saam bobijane, net 'n probleem.

We were a family of 5 who loved to braai and at least had a good rest. We had a great stay. The place is very well located and comfortable. Unfortunately, there are only a few essentials that were missing: dishcloths, a mat at the door (it had been raining and it is tiled so you couldn't wipe your feet and it is slippery), a shower mat, a place to put things in the shower. There were also no microwaves. It seems as if people don't often stay for more than 1 night.

Ons was 'n gesin van 5 wat hou van braai en darem lekker gerus het. Ons het lekker gebly. Die plek is baie goed geleë en gerieflik. Daar is ongelukkig net 'n paar noodsaaklikhede wat gekort het: vatlappies, mat by die deur (dit het gereën en dit is teëls so mens kon nie voet afvee nie en dit is glad), stortmatjie, plekkie om goed neer te sit in die stort. Daar was ook nie mikrogolfbakke nie. Dit lyk asof daar nie gereeld mense bly vir langer as 1 nag nie.

Not the best and not on my bucket list for a next break. The unit at Elephant Lodge could do with some uplift. Tiles were broken and the doors to the rooms had some strange handles that could not close securely. The bathrooms could also be attended to in terms of cleaning, spiderwebs, and a bathroom mat/shower could be useful.

Wasn't a good experience. Good quality beds and linen. House is well equipped. The house was not as clean as expected. It rained while we were there and we couldn't even use the porch because there was no roof left. The loft's roof leaked so badly that no one could sleep there. Leaked everywhere downstairs and one bed had to be moved during the night due to drops on the bed. It was also very difficult to reach the owner before the visit to get information, because there was no response to our cellphone messages.

Was nie 'n goeie ervaring nie. Beddens en linne van goeie kwaliteit. Huis is goed toegerus. Die huis was nie ordentlik skoon soos wat verwag word nie. Dit het gereën terwyl ons daar was en kon nie eens van die stoep gebruikmaak deurdat daar nie 'n dak oor was nie. Die loft se dak het so erg gelek dat niemand daar kon slaap nie. Oral onder ook gelek en een bed moes deur die nag verskuif word a.g.v. druppels op die bed. Dit was ook baie moeilik om die eienaar voor die besoek te bereik om inligting te kry, want daar was geen reaksie op ons selfoonboodskappe nie.

Hanging out with my people was fun, but the accommodation was horrible! The stay was terrible. The unit is incredibly neglected and needs urgent attention! Would not recommend it at all!

Kuier saam my mense was lekker, maar die verblyf was aaklig! Die verblyf was terrible. Die unit is ongelooflik verwaarloos en kort dringend aandag! Sal dit glad nie aanbeveel nie!

Mabalingwe is great but the accommodation was lacking. While it has a lot of potential and is in a beautiful setting, the house itself has been neglected, has leaks and needs repair. The host was unhelpful when a door to a bedroom slammed shut in the wind and there was no key available to unlock it.
