Thank you very much Mabalingwe. Will never forget it. It was a great weekend at Mabalingwe. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. There are many activities to choose from and the wildlife there is amazing.

Baie dankie Mabalingwe. Sal dit nooit vergeet nie. Dit was 'n great naweek by Mabalingwe. Die personeel is ongelooflik vriendelik en behulpsaam. Daar is baie aktiwiteite om van te kies en die wild wat daar is, is amazing.

Great holiday place to rest and be close to nature. Very nice stay. The only complaint is that our unit's exterior light didn't work and you can't use the stove because it trips the power.

Heerlike vakansie plek om te rus en naby aan die natuur te wees. Baie lekker gebly. Die enigste klagte is dat ons eenheid se buitelig nie gewerk het nie en mens kan nie die stoof gebruik nie, want dit trip die krag.

Fantastic. Our overnight stay was very nice and definitely worth it.

Fantasties. Ons oornag was baie lekker gewees en definitief die moeite werd gewees.

See above. Stay was nice, the kitchen area is just very uncomfortable, especially with a sink outside. Very little space to e.g. tea, coffee, sugar, and bread or prepared food. We had a nice rest, but if we want to go longer than now, I would prefer to book a bigger unit.

Sien bo. Verblyf was lekker, die kombuisarea is net baie ongemaklik, veral met 'n wasbak buite. Baie min spasie om bv. tee, koffie, suiker, en brood of klaar kos neer te sit. Ons het lekker gerus, maar indien ons vir langer as nou wil gaan, sou ek verkies om 'n groter eenheid te bespreek.

Small but nice. Quiet, very healthy animals and units close to the pool.

Klein maar lekker. Rustig, baie gesonde diere en eenhede naby aan die swembad.

Despite everything, we had a great stay. Mabalingwe has always been a hit. The accommodation is very well located and peaceful in nature. There were no shower or bath mats. There were also no floor cloths, brooms or mops to mop up in case of an emergency. The first cold water in the bathroom was pitch black and dirty, and the sink was also dirty. It took a long time to run clean. I had to go and buy water to drink and for the kettle. The multiplug to use all the equipment was faulty. It was inconvenient to change the kettle, microwave and grill every time you wanted to use them. Ants were a big problem so I had to go buy poison and spray every day.

Ten spyte van alles baie lekker gebly. Mabalingwe nog altyd 'n treffer. Die blyplek is baie goed geleë en rustig in die natuur. Daar was geen stort- of badmatjies nie. Daar was ook geen vloerlappe, besem of mop om te kan opvee in geval van 'n noodgeval nie. Die eerste koue water in die badkamer was pikswart en vuil, en die wasbak was ook vuil. Dit het 'n lang ruk geneem om skoon te loop. Ek moes water gaan koop om te drink en vir die ketel. Die multiplug om al die toerusting te gebruik was foutief. Dit was ongemaklik om elke keer die ketel, mikrogolf oond en rooster te ruil as jy dit wou gebruik. Miere was 'n groot probleem, so ek moes gif gaan koop en elke dag spuit.

Amazing, value for my money. Mabalingwe is like our second home, this unit was beautifully located and had everything we needed. Close to the pools and entertainment area. The only disappointment is the lack of communication from the host; she takes ages to respond to any communication and it almost caused a problem, aside from that our stay was amazing.

Nice although a little "love" is missing. Visits to Elephant Lodge are always very enjoyable. Unit Kiewiet needs a bit of love and attention as we noticed that there were a few "maintenance" areas. The front door (out to the braai area) could not close completely (it seems as if the wood has "swelled" due to rainwater perhaps). The back door has a catch, but the catch is broken and broken off. The unit is still one of the original "Tau Lodge" units with basic crockery and a very small fridge/freezer. The unit was clean upon arrival (the air conditioner was not working). "Loadshedding" which was out of everyone's control is a big problem like everywhere else in SA, but we were happy to see there were 2 rechargeable lights available for the dark. Although it was raining (and our barbeque was cancelled), we noticed that the barbeque had not been cleaned from the previous guests. In any case, we would not be able to braai in the braai area as it was dirty. Still had a great time on Mabalingwe.

Lekker alhoewel daar 'n bietjie "liefde" kort. Kuiers op Elephant Lodge is altyd baie lekker. Eenheid Kiewiet kort 'n bietjie baie liefde en aandag aangesien ons opgelet het dat daar 'n paar "onderhouds" areas was. Die voordeur (uit na die braai area) kon nie heeltemal toemaak nie (dit lyk asof die hout "geswel" het a.g.v. reënwater dalk). Die agterdeur het 'n hakkie, maar die hakkie is stukkend en afgebreek. Die eenheid is wel nog van die oorspronklike "Tau Lodge" eenhede met basiese breekware en 'n baie klein yskas/vrieskas. Die eenheid was wel skoon met aankoms (die lugversorger het nie gewerk nie). "Loadshedding" wat buite almal se beheer was, is maar soos ooral in SA 'n groot probleem, maar ons was bly om te sien daar was 2 herlaaibare ligte beskikbaar vir die donker. Alhoewel dit gereën het (en ons braai gestaak het), het ons opgemerk dat die braai nie skoongemaak was van die vorige gaste nie. In elk geval sou ons nie kon braai in die braai area nie aangesien dit vuil was. Nogsteeds baie lekker gekuier op Mabalingwe.
