Sufficient. The air conditioner worked but didn't cool it. The mattresses on the bunk beds were incredibly soft and the kids didn't sleep well on the bunk beds - they could really improve that.

Voldoende. Die lugversorger het gewerk maar nie koud gemaak nie. Die matrasse op die stapelbedjies was verskriklik sag en die kinders het nie lekker geslaap op die stapelbedjies nie - hulle kan dit regtig verbeter.

Enjoyed the weekend and was once again relaxing as always. Saw all the animals. Unit was neat and clean and had everything one needs for 2 people. Is as described.

Naweek geniet en was weer eens ontspannend soos altyd. Alle diere gesien. Eenheid was netjies en skoon en het alles wat 'n mens benodig vir 2 persone. Is soos beskryf word.

Calm atmosphere. The stay was very nice, unit well equipped. There were no steak knives, no two-prong plug to charge a cellphone. The toilet struggled to flush and there is a large anthill in the bathroom between the shower and sink. Furthermore, wonderfully peaceful with lots of animal children who came to say hello.

Rustige atmosfeer. Die verblyf was baie lekker gewees, eenheid goed toegerus. Daar was wel geen steakmesse nie, geen tweepunt plug om selfoon te laai nie. Die toilet het gesukkel om te spoel en daar is 'n groot miernes in die badkamer tussen die stort en wasbakkas. Verder heerlik rustig met baie dierekinders wat kom groet het.

Unbelievable. Very nice, animals enjoyed. But definitely improvement please. on cutlery. Steak knives, vegetable knives, masher for potatoes. Place is definitely too small for 4 people. Outside braai is perfect!

Ongelooflik. Baie lekker, diere geniet. Maar beslis verbetering asb. op cutlery. Steakmesse, groentemesse, masher vir aartappels. Plek is definitief te klein vir 4 persone. Buite braai is perfek!

Very nice. Nice stay, neat place. Kitchen needs some upgrading and general maintenance could be done.

Baie lekker. Lekker gebly, netjies plekkie. Kombuis kort so bietjie opgradering en algemene onderhoud kan gerus gedoen word.

Could not sleep on mattress, otherwise ok. Mattresses are outdated and very hard. Smell from toilet constantly. Would suggest some more workspace inside, otherwise ok.

Enjoyable weekend. It is quite basic, especially the kitchen space. It was comfortable; however, it could do with some upgrading. Very conveniently placed within a short walk from the shop, pool, and restaurant up the hill.

Mabalingwe is a very beautiful place, but next time I will definitely choose another place. Mabalingwe is a fantastic place, but Elephant Lodge 255A is not. 1. Mattresses are sponge on a board. 2. Linen is probably 20 years old. 3. Not even a bowl for braai meat. 4. 2 plate stove is outside. 5. Wardrobe is in the (kitchen). 6. No surface to put anything down. 7. Pans fall apart. One good point. No problem with hot water.

Mabalingwe is 'n baie pragtige plek, maar volgende keer kies ek vir seker ander bl. Mabalingwe is 'n fantastiese plek, maar Elephant Lodge 255A nee. 1. Matrasse is spons op 'n plank. 2. Linne is seker 20 jaar oud. 3. Nie eers 'n bak vir braaivleis nie. 4. 2 plaat stoof is buite. 5. Klerekas is in die (kombuis). 6. Geen oppervlakte om iets neer te sit nie. 7. Panne val uitmekaar uit. Een goeie punt. Geen probleem met warm water.

Perfect. I would recommend it to a friend, provided that the host communicates with us when we send messages. For someone to clean the room for us, we had to request the lady who was cleaning 255 B, but other than that I would definitely be coming back.
