Mabalingwe is a wonderful game reserve. We have been visiting Mabalingwe for some time, the unit is perfectly located, but the appliances are not all in working condition. Our kettle was broken, and the fridge freezer is also very small, one bag of ice and the freezer compartment is full. The air conditioning system also only blew wind and did not cool the unit as it should.

Mabalingwe is 'n heerlike wildsreservaat. Ons kuier al geruime tyd by Mabalingwe, die eenheid is perfek geleë, maar die toebehore is nie alles in werkende kondisie nie. Ons ketel was stukkend, en die yskas se vriesgedeelte is ook baie klein, een sakkie ys en die vrieskas gedeelte is vol. Die lugverkoelingstelsel het ook net wind geblaas en nie die eenheid afgekoel soos dit behoort nie.

Sleeping was comfortable, but the rest of the unit was not. Part of the kitchen is outside. The unit unfortunately does not compare well with others in the same complex. At the same price there are unfortunately fewer amenities and facilities. Bedding and beds are clean and comfortable. Unfortunately the rest of the unit is not well maintained. DStv did not work initially, but later sorted out after communication with the owner. The remote does not work. The bar fridge is very small and the freezer space (quite damaged) not even enough for a pack of ice.

Slaap was gemaklik, maar die res van die eenheid nie. Deel van die kombuis is buite. Die eenheid vergelyk ongelukkig nie goed met ander in dieselfde kompleks. Teen dieselfde prys is daar ongelukkig minder geriewe en fasiliteite. Beddegoed en beddens is skoon en gemaklik. Ongelukkig is die res van die eenheid nie goed onderhou. DStv het nie aanvanklik gewerk, maar later na kommunikasie met die eienaar uitgesorteer. Die remote werk nie. Die yskassie is baie klein en die vriesruimte (redelik verniel) nie eers genoeg vir 'n pakkie ys nie.

Disappointing! Good day. This is the most beautiful camp, but it really needs attention, around the chalets it is not neat. Our chalet was very dirty, the boiler did not work, the air conditioning did not work 100%. The outer cupboard and sink were dirty. There are no proper kitchen utensils to cook food in. It was really a very big disappointment!

Teleurstellend! Goeiedag. Dit is die mooiste kamp, maar kort regtig aandag, om die chalets is dit nie netjies nie. Ons chalet was baie vuil, die ketel het nie gewerk nie, die lugverkoeling het nie 100% gewerk nie. Die buitenste kas en wasbak was vuil. Daar is nie behoorlike kombuisware om in kos gaar te maak nie. Dit was regtig 'n baie groot teleurstelling!

Pleasant, but neighbour noise issues. A lovely stay for the nature, the cleaning service, and the game drive. However, people are not considerate regarding noise levels, including the playing of loud music. Accommodation is close together, so noise is inevitable in the unit, but visitors can be more considerate towards others and the animals that always hope to see outside our door.
