Always love Sondela. Great location, family friendly, relaxed environment. We had a wonderful family birthday celebration. Sondela's location makes it perfect for a quick getaway. The accommodation was perfect and we had fun driving the reserve while looking for game. We also took part in some of the fun activities offered at the main reception.

Makhato 114 is not value for money at all. The cottage itself is not that bad, but the bedding and curtains are appalling. Very poor and cheap quality. Especially for the amount we paid per night, you expect more and better. I would rather look for another cottage next time. Makhato 114 is not value for money at all.

Makhato 114 is glad nie waarde vir jou geld nie. Die huisie self is nie so sleg nie, maar die beddegoed en gordyne is skrikwekkend. Baie swak en goedkoop kwaliteit. Veral vir die bedrag wat ons betaal het per nag, verwag jy meer en beter. Ek sal eerder 'n ander huis volgende keer soek. Makhato 114 is glad nie waarde vir jou geld nie.

Hi Hugo Sorry to see that you did not like our choice of bedding and curtains. Would like to know what the problem was with 'cleanliness', 'customer service', 'location' and 'security' as it was not good for you either. Cleaning can always be improved if it is brought to our attention Not sure what customer service and location warrants a rating of 2 and 3. 'Maps', distances and full explanation of house and check-in arrangements were already communicated 2 weeks before check-in. Security - please let me know if you have experienced a problem with security, as security is a priority for us and also for Sondela. The house has an alarm and panic buttons, or the emergency number can be called 24/7, for any emergency it would be needed. Kind regards Zelda

Hi Hugo Jammer om te sien dat jy nie van ons keuse van beddegoed en gordyne gehou het nie. Sal graag wil weet wat die probleem met 'cleanliness', 'customer service', 'location' en 'security' was siende dat dit ook nie vir jou goed was nie. Skoonmaak kan altyd verbeter as dit onder ons aandag gebring word Nie seker wat kliëntediens en ligging se gradering van 2 en 3 regverdig nie. 'Maps', distansies en volledige uiteensetting van huis en inboekreëlings was reeds 2 weke voor inboek gekommunikeer. Sekuriteit - asb. laat weet my as julle 'n probleem ondervind het met sekuriteit, aangesien sekuriteit vir ons en ook vir Sondela 'n prioriteit is. Die huis het 'n alarm en paniekknoppies, of die noodnommer kan 24/7 geskakel word, vir enige noodgeval sou dit benodig word. Vriendelike groete Zelda

Perfect, spacious and comfortable for a bush getaway. We had a wonderful family getaway at Makhato 114. The house is lovely and the fact that there are 2 different wings gives a bit of extra privacy. Loved the outside shower! The house is well equipped with everything you need and the salt block in front of the house attracts a lot of animals, which was amazing for the kids and for us. The house is close to the pool, which is great, and having the added luxury of it being serviced is wonderful too. The host was very helpful and responsive, and gave us a lot of helpful info prior to our arrival. The fact that you can check in early is a huge plus! I would not hesitate to book the house again. Many thanks.

Great family getaway. Had a lovely stay with the family. Plenty of space and well equipped. Air conditioners were definitely a bonus with temperatures just under 40 degrees C. Various wildlife visited regularly and the porch was the perfect place to sit and watch them. Kept us informed ahead of time and was available for any questions. Would definitely recommend anytime and come visit again.

Puik familie wegbreek. Heerlik saam met die familie gekuier. Genoeg ruimte en goed toegerus. Lugversorgers was beslis 'n bonus met temperature net onder 40 grade C. Verskeie wild het gereeld kom besoek en die stoep was die perfekte plek om na hulle te sit en kyk. Het ons voor die tyd op hoogte gehou en was beskikbaar vir enige vrae. Sal beslis enige tyd aanbeveel en weer kom kuier.

Perfect woodland getaway home. Everything was perfect. Clean, spacious and Zelda was available anytime if anything was needed. Will definitely use Makhato 114 again.

Perfekte bosveld wegbreek huis. Alles was perfek. Skoon, ruim en Zelda was enige tyd beskikbaar as iets gekort het. Vir seker weer gebruik maak van Makhato 114.

I would definitely recommend Makhato 114! We had a great time at Makhato 114! The location was convenient between us from Limpopo and friends from Gauteng. The game came round every day! The house has enough space for 8 people, with a nice large kitchen/living area and a large veranda. We had a problem with our one geyser the first night, and they came to fix it the next day (on a holiday). We will visit again for sure!

Ek sal Makhato 114 beslis aanbeveel! Ons het baie lekker gekuier by Makhato 114! Die ligging was gerieflik tussen ons van Limpopo en vriende van Gauteng af. Die wild het elke dag kom draai! Die huis het genoeg plek vir 8 mense, met 'n lekker groot kombuis/leefarea en 'n groot stoep. Ons het die eerste aand 'n probleem met ons een geyser gehad, en hulle het dit die volgende dag (op 'n vakansiedag) kom regmaak. Ons sal vir seker weer gaan kuier!

Thank you Yolandie. We are glad you enjoyed it. The problem then was an overfilled gas bottle which damaged our regulators. Or so I understand it So far no further problems with the hot water, thank goodness. Greetings

Dankie Yolandie. Ons is bly julle het dit geniet. Die probleem was toe 'n oorvol gasbottel wat ons regulateurs beskadig het. Of so verstaan ek dit Sover geen verdere probleme met die warm water nie, dankie tog. Groete
