A beautiful stay. It was a very wonderful weekend. The place is so beautiful even pictures on the website don't do justice. The serenity is out of this world.

Wonderful weekend getaway with friends. Absolute bushveld tranquility! Rafiki's Place was the perfect place for an annual getaway with friends. The house is well equipped and had everything we needed. We will be back soon.

Wonderlike naweek wegbreek saam met vriende. Absolute bosveld rustigheid! Rafiki's Place was die perfekte plek vir 'n jaarlikse wegbreek saam met vriende. Die huis is goed toegerus en daar was alles wat ons nodig gehad het. Ons kom kuier gou weer.

Okay. The place had electricity issues which left us inconvenienced as the owners failed to communicate it to us until we raised it with the helpers there. We stayed from Saturday until departure upstairs and some plugs were not working. Some of us couldn't even charge our devices.

Rafiki's Place Mabalingwe
Unfortunately, we were not aware of the issue. We discovered that the electrical issue was due to a lightning strike on the house during the storm on Thursday night where parts of the wiring were damaged. The upstairs plug circuit and the Lapa plugs did not function due to damaged wires. Over the weekend, we did have an electrician there to investigate who managed to get the upstairs plugs working but not the Lapa plugs. The balance of the damage was too big and could not be repaired while guests were in the house as the work would create a lot of disturbance. We did keep the guests informed throughout this process and apologised for the inconvenience but the situation was out of our control. This issue has since been rectified and all is in order at RafiKi's Place Mabalingwe.

Amazing visit! Our stay was very enjoyable with everything we needed and was close to all amenities. It is such a beautiful home, super clean and so comfortable. (The real thing actually looks better than the pictures).

Safe, clean, well equipped. Rafiki's place is very well equipped. Safe, peaceful environment to relax in the bush.

Veilig, skoon, goed toegerus. Rafiki's place is baie goed toegerus. Veilige, rustige omgewing om te ontspan in die bos.

Awesome. From my booking I was treated with the utmost respect and guidance. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. The lady that cleaned the house, her name is Maggie, you are so kind, sweet and humble, keep up the good work.
