30 guests' feedbackIt was lovely to relax and the cottage was very comfortable and convenient.
Very comfortable accommodation, just no lights with load shedding. There is a portable light but didn't work and we were in the dark for 2 hours. The tub didn't have a plug.
It was the most fabulous experience and the place is so beautiful. All the guests get to interact with others. It's amazing to stay in Mabalingwe, 100%.
Safety is good. Place is neat.
The bathroom light did not work, the kettle looked old and did not work so well - it probably needs to be replaced, but overall the stay in the chalet was nice. The chalet was clean and the beds were comfy. I will go there again in future.
Unit well equipped for a weekend getaway.
Disappointing. Kitchenette impractical, only 2 of each utensil, small prep bowl sink outside, no pan for breakfast, toilet door doesn't close, ceiling fan doesn't work, beds need an upgrade.
It's good for peace of mind.
Toilet door does not close properly. Outside light was not working. Other than that, it was a lovely experience.
Was very nice. We really enjoy staying at Mabalingwe and come often. The unit might just pay attention to their toilet.
Mabalingwe itself is a very nice relaxed place loads to do. Linen needs to be replaced. it's supposed to be white old yellowish linen. Toilet door broken, bathroom wooden mat broken towels needs replacements as well. TV did not work. I tried calling for help spoke to Monique when we called back after 15min her phone was switched off.
Mabalingwe Elephant Lodge Unit 270B Patrys is great, and would definitely recommend it to anyone and everyone. The website made our booking very easy with no complications at all.
Great service! Value for money. We really enjoyed the animals and it is so convenient that we could go on a 'game drive' with our own vehicle. The unit is as advertised. Will definitely be able to recommend to people.
I really like Patrys no 270b, all I would recommend is that the place could be a little cleaner, especially behind the doors and cobwebs everywhere in the cupboards, but I looked past that, it was nice.
The location of the unit is lovely and we had a great time. It is very unfortunate that no warm blankets are provided in the winter and that I could not get any feedback from the owner about this.
Value for money accommodation, well located in a wonderful park.
Would like to see more information about the lodge's general arrangements on the website so that all the guests and staff are informed about the general operation of the lodge as a whole. Some staff could not help me with my requests. Just a suggestion. Otherwise it was nice to be in nature.
Compared to previous stays in other units (which were much cheaper), Elephant lodge was disappointing. No barbecue accessories or grill. Had to go buy one. Don't let the private bathroom fool you. The bath is narrow for a size 10 person and when you bathe you cannot turn on the tap beforehand, your arms cannot reach. You literally have to get into the tub to turn it on. It will only work if you stand in the tub and shower.
We had such a great time relaxing at Mabalingwe. The room is comfortable for 2 people, with an air conditioner! Definitely a bonus here in the Limpopo area. We enjoyed that the main complex was within walking distance. We will definitely book this unit again.
The unit's microwave is not working. The bathroom tiles were broken and the toilet seat was also broken.
The stay was great. Monique’s hospitality and services was amazing. The game ranger was a great champ, he made sure my partner and I were well taken car of even after I injured my ankle.
Place is very clean and tidy, ideal for a quick getaway.
We were very pleased with the Unit 170 Partridge(b). The manager went out of her way to accommodate us. The location of the unit is very central and is walking distance (60 m) from all the activities. Swimming pool, table tennis, tennis court, cafe, coffee shop and game drives. The service was very good and I will book Patrys again.
Had a lovely stay. Thanks for extra fan. But an aircon can make a big difference and maybe slightly bigger fridges, especially freezers. Especially if you want to stay for longer than 3 days. Other than that, everything is great.
Cute place and very neat, lekker braai area with some privacy and relaxing.
Thanks a lot.
Please deal with the spider webs in the rooms and the network is not good. Helpful and friendly staff members. We felt a bit like outcasts, especially in the pool area.
Our stay was okay, sorry we didn't get a double bed and ants carried us away.
There are no numbers or names on the units. Everything is very unclear. We ended up in another owner's unit, 169 Pumba (Andre and Maretha). Maretha called me and kicked me out and accused me of being a burglar. We then moved to the right unit at 21:00 that evening. We stayed two nights and decided to go home earlier. A week later the owner of 169 texts me and accuses me of not being out of their unit until the next morning and that they will take legal action. My husband and I really did not enjoy the 2 days at all and we feel we wasted our money.
