A blissful retreat in the beautiful mountains of Thabazimbi.

If you are looking for an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, this is the perfect spot. It has all the amenities that you will need. The pod is very private and secluded, giving you the much-needed peace of mind. I highly recommend it for disconnecting from your day-to-day routine. There is no WiFi, which helps if you really want to disconnect.

Thank you for the review; we appreciate the time you took to post your experience. We enjoyed having you and hope to have you back with us in the near future.

Dit was 'n luukse en besonderse ervaring.

Baie lekker. Die plekkie is piepklein maar het verbasend alles wat jy kan nodig kry. Dit is 'n duurder tipe verblyf maar is perfek vir 'n 1/2 aand wegbreek om iets spesiaal te vier.

It was a luxurious and exceptional experience.

Very nice. The place is tiny but surprisingly has everything you could need. This is a more expensive type of accommodation but is perfect for a 1/2 night break to celebrate something special.

Baie lekker gebly, neem net kennis dit is effens warm in die somer.

Ongelooflik lekker gebly. Die pods is baie mooi en het 'n wonderlike uitsig.

Great stay, beautiful views, friendly staff.

Beautiful pod on top of the mountain with stunning views. Fantastic picnic in the forest with fresh finger foods. I can recommend this. The negative aspect is the construction that is interfering with the peace and natural sounds of the bush. Also, the hot water geyser is not working.

Goeie middag Mev Homan.
Ons hoop julle het 'n onvergeetlike tyd by Thaba eNtle gehad.
Ons is baie jammer vir die ongerief wat julle moontlik moes ervaar, ons sal definitief in die toekoms die konstruksie op sekere areas op die perseel kommunikeer met gaste.

Pleasant but unfortunate.

Our stay at the pods was lovely except for the fact that we could not shower for whatever reason. The manager did not seem to be willing to help. Only on the last day when I asked for an alternative solution did she offer the other pod.

The Pods 's response

We sincerely apologise for this very unpleasant experience. We have escalated this matter to our operational department and it will certainly be looked into. We do, however, wish to welcome you back to Thaba eNtle soon to relive an unforgettable experience.

Peaceful luxurious hideout not far from the city.

The roads to the pods kicked in the adventure mood. Such a wild beautiful experience. We definitely would want to experience other pot stays at different seasons too.

Mooiste uitsig.

Die plek is lieflik! Die uitsig is die beste deel. Dis so romanties en perfekte wegbreek vir couples. Jy kort wel n 4x4 op by pods te kom maar hulle kan mens opvat met hul voertuie as jy nie 'n 4x4 het nie. Hulle gee ook hout vir 'n ektra R25 per sakkie. Daar is baie aktiwiteite beskikbaar, stap, game drives, quad bike en fietry, teen ektra koste. Daar is ook 'n Mountain View area met swembad en boma wat mens kan uithuur vir n ektra koste. Die Pod is eco, maar het wel 'n aircon, gas geyser, en plugs op fone mee te herlaai. Daar is n braai area, hot tub en koffie masjien. Daar alles wat mens sou nodig hê. Vivienne en DeeDee is lieflik en behulpsaam. Dis regtig n wonderlike plek die.

Most beautiful view.

The place is lovely! The view is the best part. It's so romantic and a perfect getaway for couples. You do need a 4x4 to get to pods, but they can pick you up with their vehicles if you don't have a 4x4. They also give wood for an extra R25 per bag. There are many activities available, walking, game drives, quad bike and fietry, at extra cost. There is also a Mountain View area with swimming pool and boma that you can rent out for an extra cost. The Pod is eco, but does have an aircon, gas geyser, and plugs for recharging phones. There is a braai area, hot tub and coffee machine. There everything one would need. Vivienne and DeeDee are lovely and helpful. It's really a wonderful place.

Service was amazing, they were always punctual with delivering food and activity appointments. The staff were ready to assist and it was easy to talk to them especially the game drive manager. She was so fun and made the experience amazing for us.

We had everything we could possibly need in the pod. I didn't expect spices and olive oil so I was impressed. The utilities were operating quite well. The electric blanket was a good idea for cold nights. would recommend this to my friends. I loved my stay. Thank you.

It's a very beautiful place, but very impractical.

When we arrived, I saw that it was not the same unit as in the photos. The windows were very dirty as well as some of the linen on the bed. It's a self-catering unit so we had to take all our food and drinks, but there's only a small bar fridge in the unit, not nearly enough space to store everything for the weekend. We bought ice from them, but had to keep it in a cooler box and by Saturday it had all melted. There is also not enough room in the unit, the space is very limited. The cooler was in the way all the time. Saturday was also a very hot day and we struggled to get a bit of coolness, the whole room was directly in the sun and the air conditioner and fan didn't even make a difference. On the deck was 1 umbrella and its coolness fell on the rough pebbles where we could not sit. It's better a winter break than a summer one. There is also no oven or microwave, so no way to heat food, only a 2 plate stove and the braai outside. The bathroom is also very small, not enough space to even dry off and the shower was either blazing hot or freezing cold. There were also workers on the farm all day who could be heard working and talking which was still disturbing. The view was very beautiful as well as the walking route. The manager was pleasant and helpful.
