Fantastic place for a bushveld getaway. Hospitality and friendliness of staff were top quality.

Fantastiese plek vir bosveld wegbreek. Gasvryheid en vriendelikheid van personeel was van topgehalte.

Comfortable and relaxing stay at Paperbark Cottage. We had a comfortable stay at Paperbark Cottage for 3 nights. We were on self-drives for most of the day, also visiting restaurants and curio shops throughout Dinokeng, but when we got back, we weren't lacking anything. We also had a giraffe, warthogs and impala just outside the fence in front of the cottage around sunset on different days. Just a heads-up: remember to consider Dinokeng's conservation and self-drive fees, which are often only made clear once your booking has been made. These fees amounted to an additional R700.00 for the duration of our stay.

Thank you for your kind review — we’re so glad you had a comfortable stay and enjoyed those special sunset wildlife sightings! Just to clarify, the conservation and self-drive fees are set and collected by the Dinokeng Game Reserve and are separate from our accommodation rates, as they go towards maintaining the reserve. We’re also looking at ways to make this information more visible during the booking process. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

Fantastically nice. Love the silence and the forest. We had a very nice stay. Would check in there again anytime, and I recommend the place to all my family and friends anytime.

Fantasties lekker. Hou van die stilte en die bos. Ons het baie lekker gebly. Sal enige tyd weer daar inboek, en ek beveel die plek aan enige tyd aan al my familie en vriende.

We are so glad you enjoyed the silence and the forest — that's exactly what we are here for. And to hear that you will come back and recommend us makes it extra special for us. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

Ons is so bly julle het die stilte en die bos geniet — dis presies waarvoor ons hier is. En om te hoor julle sal weer kom én ons aanbeveel, maak dit vir ons ekstra spesiaal. Ons sien uit daarna om julle weer binnekort te verwelkom.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It makes our hearts happy to know that the forest has done its job again… safe, quiet and full of soul food. This is exactly why Thorn Tree exists: to breathe, put your feet in the sand, and just be. We look forward to having you around the fire again – where the night sounds tell stories and the flames slowly stir stories. Until next time… Where the wild calls, and memories live on in the firelight.

Baie dankie vir jou mooi woorde. Dit maak ons harte bly om te weet die bos het weer sy werk gedoen… veilig, stil en vol sielskos. Dit is presies hoekom Thorn Tree bestaan: om asem te haal, voete in die sand te sit, en net te wees. Ons sien uit om julle weer om die vuur te hê – waar die naggeluide vertel en die vlamme stadig stories roer. Tot volgende keer… Waar die wild roep, en herinneringe in die vuur se lig bly leef.
