127 guests' feedbackOwl Spot was wonderful - every detail was thoughtfully included. Well equipped and beautiful chalet. Can't wait to go back!
We had a great stay, the house is beautiful, spacious and clean. The whole weekend and experience at Owl Spot was a pleasure.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Not so many animals, though.
It was my mother's 80th birthday and she has been secretly wishing to go to Owl Spot for years. She was blown away by the rooms, the watering hole and we could enjoy family time but also individual time. The small things such as decent coffee, sugar and bubble bath! We made memories forever in the most beautiful surroundings.
Had a wonderful stay. Very neat and clean, well equipped. The silence was so peaceful. Bird life is abundant around the cottage.
We had a great time, peace and quiet. Loved the game drive, the place was amazing and we truly enjoyed our stay. Great service and the hospitality was excellent! Thank you to our host and the game ranger was great entertainment and made our stay enjoyable.
The accommodation was awesome. More than enough space in the lodge. Everything you need to make food is available. Just bring your own food. Firewood is available and the area is sheltered and warm once you have a fire going at night.
It was one of the best places I've ever been. Everything was perfect, clean, tidy and well equipped! The service is fantastic and so much extra effort is made. The atmosphere is something that cannot be described. The view is breathtaking. I will definitely be back again! Thank you so much for an incredible getaway.
The communication from the owner was excellent, both for the check-in arrangements as well as arrangements during our stay. The owners were incredibly hospitable and made it feel like no request was too much. Wonderful experience.
Most enjoyable stay. Clean, well-equipped cottage. Lovely patio - ideal for relaxing and watching game - birds, kudu, zebras, warthogs, etc. Definitely a place to return to. Thank you.
We had a very nice weekend. We stayed in Owl Spot and it was very neat. Will definitely be back.
We had a great time staying and visiting. The place is very clean and tidy and is definitely recommended.
Very neat, clean and friendly owners. One of our favorite places in Dinokeng.
The house is nicely designed, we had privacy and the best time of our lives. It was relaxing.
We enjoyed our visit incredibly much! The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped. The linen is of top quality. The facilities are spotless. The unit has all the luxuries that make your stay that much more enjoyable without being flashy or overboard. Feel free to use the Game Drive provided - the guides are some of the best I've come across. Thank you for a wonderful visit, we will definitely see you again.
It was truly an experience. The place was neat, clean, had good kitchenware and beautiful facilities. Saw many birds and small animals. Feeling pampered and really enjoying the place.
Lovely place, tidy and well furnished.
Very neat and clean, excellent location with a nice view.
Very nice stay. Air conditioning will be nice in summer.
Amazing place! Saw many animals. The place itself is tastefully equipped with all amenities. Saw and heard many birds. It was also lovely to sit by the fire in the evening and hear the foxes and hyenas.
Everything was great. We've already suggested the place to friends of ours.
Owl Spot has a wonderful quiet piece in the nature reserve. I would definitely recommend a game drive through them too!
Spacious, neat facility with all the necessary facilities and very private. We stayed in Grass Owl which is right in front of the watering hole. Various animals make a visit daily and as photographers we especially appreciated and enjoyed the variety of birds. A special place that we will definitely see again. Highly recommend it.
It's a big place with everything you need. It was clean and tidy. We really enjoyed the braai area. We will definitely visit there again.
Well equipped unit and friendly and helpful staff.
Neat, quiet and bring the tranquility of nature to your porch.
See stars.
At Owl Spot your soul rests! The house is spacious and clean and has everything one might need. We had a great time on the porch watching the birds.
Owl Spot is a gem of a place. You get away from the noise of the city to rest with wildlife that comes to your doorstep. It had been an experience for us. Owl Spot pays attention to the smallest detail that other places don't think about. Their advance communication is excellent and it speaks volumes of what one can expect when there. Owl Spot will definitely see you again soon.
Everything you need for a nice rest or romantic getaway. The house is very clean, well equipped, great bathroom with views, and excellent outdoor shower. Very good service from a lot of very friendly people. The watering hole right in front of the house never disappoints.
Here one can rest and relax. So beautiful, neat, well equipped and private. Very professional service and communication. I can definitely recommend Owl Spot.
Would definitely recommend Owl Spot. The chalets are very beautiful and comfortable. Have a nice time. The animals that come to drink water right in front of the chalets were an extra bonus. It's been a quiet and lovely week to recharge batteries. Will definitely visit again.
Dry sicklewood at R20 per bag! I do suggest they invest in a decent mattress and pillows.
What an excellent location in Dinokeng! The accommodation at Owl Spot is truly exceptional providing an outstanding experience. The setting, with its veranda overlooking the waterhole, is simply perfect. During our stay, we were fortunate to see a diverse array of animals congregate at the waterhole, which added to the peaceful atmosphere. We are definitely looking forward to our next visit to Owl Spot as it left an indelible impression on us.
Quiet with nature. Lots of game and birds.
We had a great time at Owl Spot. The unit is very neat and clean.
It's only difficult because there isn't a pool and other lodges in the area don't allow day visitors - it was VERY hot. The boma area is great!
The stay at Owl Spot was anything but ordinary. Will definitely return and stay a few extra days.
1 bathroom / toilet for 6 people. 1 bedroom only. The loft is open and sleeps 4. Cockroaches in the kitchen. The hob is tiny, can't even put a pan and a pot on safely at the same time.
The unit was neat and service was great.
We had such a good time. The place is clean, beautiful and well equipped.
Our unit - Pearl Spotted Owl - was very comfortable, neat and clean. The site is well maintained and the bird bath and platform with bird seeds - visible from the porch - attract many different birds. The game drives and guides also made for a pleasant morning and afternoon drive. We will definitely visit Owl Spot again!
The accommodation has little touches that make your stay so much more comfortable and pleasant. The layout is simple in the good way, but perfect in proportion and design. It was so quiet and peaceful, absolute pleasure to get away from it all. Host was very considerate. Only suggestion would be a harder bed please.
We have experienced many weekends away, but Owl Spot has to be the best one ever! From our accommodation to the cleanliness and peacefulness of everything, the Oscar has to go to Owl Spot. The cherry on top of it all was no TV and an amazing outdoor shower.
Good for the soul and very peaceful. Good and clean barbecue with good service. Very pleasant and friendly owners. Very good value for money.
Fantastic bird life and other animals right in front of the chalet.
Highly recommended stay.
We enjoyed it very much. Was very clean and tidy and the game drives were very interesting. Will come back again.
Best place in Dinokeng for privacy, good service and nice bushveld break. .
We had a great time. Everything we needed. Easy to find and location is ideal. Friendly hosts.
It was so quiet you could hear all the woodland sounds. The unit was incredibly beautiful and clean, and has everything you need. The customer service is very good, always available if you need something. Will definitely go back.
It was a lovely peaceful weekend in a well equipped sleeping unit. It was neat, clean and the surroundings were beautiful. Marizanné is very professional with a personal touch. It was lovely to arrive in your apartment, with everything arranged in its place and yet there is no personal contact. My friends from the UK are very impressed and take a piece of Africa back to a gloomy country. Thank you!
From the delicious picnic on our arrival to another zebra greeting on our departure, it was a treat like no other! The accommodation was modern, neat and comfortable and despite a cold winter, it was wonderfully warm inside! The hospitality and excellent service from Marizanne was some of the very best we have ever experienced! This was the first of many visits to Owl Spot!
Very neat and centrally located. Safe and clean.
See stars.
It was so peaceful and nice! We so enjoyed seeing the animals right at our unit. It is very neat and beautiful. We will definitely come again!
We had a lovely stay at Owl Spot. We stayed in Marsh Owl. The unit was neat and tidy (inside and outside) and very well equipped with everything you need for a self-catering stay. The location was great, we saw Zebra, Porcupine, Warthog, Kudu and plenty of birds from our patio. We will definitely visit again.
The outdoor shower was a hit especially with our toddler. Lions hear glasses in the evening. Very nice experience. Really a surprising place. Quiet, in the woods, close to Pretoria and clean, tidy, furnished and child-friendly.
What a beautiful place, very neat and clean and the owner was always available when we had questions. Game drive was also worth it. We will surely come again soon.
Nicely styled, very spacious, peaceful, nearby the city and great value for money.
The host kept us updated on WhatsApp and was always available when we needed her, but left us in peace and privacy. One of the best weekends away we have had in many years. Zebra, impala, kudu and birds, lots of birds on our doorstep.
Best accommodation we've been to in Dinokeng.
Quiet environment, house nice and clean. Shower is fantastic. Patio and braai area convenient.
Only negative is that accommodation will be very restrictive for 6 people (the maximum). We were 3 adults who paid for the cottage; so not per person.
The Marsh Owl chalet is a lovely, practical and comfortable, and the ideal accommodation for a couple. The standard of presentation is equal to, or better than, any international tourist accommodation. The fact that it is in such an exceptional setting elevates the rating to the best. The service is personal and top notch. This is a gem.
We felt very safe as 3 ladies and it was very peaceful and quiet with beautiful birdlife.
The Barn Owl Spot is neat, well laid out in peaceful surroundings with the most beautiful sunsets.
It was definitely worth it. The kids enjoyed it a lot. The place is very nice and clean.
The best part was the game drive - thank you Corrie. Unfortunately the unit was infested with bed bugs. Unbearable sleepless nights. Marizaan was responsive to the situation however could not offer an alternative unit. Mattresses were swopped and linen cleaned however this did nothing to alleviate the continual bites. The girls had to travel to a pharmacy for medication. Additional meds had to be purchased on the return home and travel bags and clothing came home with bugs. Currently having to take extensive measures to eradicate and prevent further infestion in our homes. A great disappoint to a long awaited trip to celebrate graduation with close friends.
Went on a game drive, guide was full of knowledge, did other activities like the bush spa and bush picnic which are worth the money and the animals came to say hello every day at the waterhole next to the wire.
We enjoyed Owl Spot a lot. The unit was very clean and neat as well as well equipped with everything you need. Definitely one of the best places to stay in Dinokeng.
The facilities were everything we needed. We felt very safe and had a great time. It is definitely a recommendation for a break from the city noise.
We had a wonderful weekend at Owl Spot. The unit was beautiful and had everything you need for a breakaway from reality. The game drive was an added bonus and we really enjoyed it! Marizannè went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect.
Beautiful, super clean, well situated within Dinokeng. Lots of attention to detail. We will definitely visit again.
We had a quiet and relaxing weekend. The picnic Friday evening was brilliant.
Lovely woodland only 45 minutes from Pretoria but it feels like you are far in the woodland. Hosts were very friendly and helpful and the place to stay is great! We will definitely be back.
Spent our time taking self-drives around the game reserve. Just being in the bush away from the hustle and bustle is relaxing enough.
Our accommodation was very nice and spacious. The open plan layout, double shower, and tub near the window were well thought out.
Owl Spot is a great place to go to just to get away for a weekend and to relax and spend time in nature. The place is very well equipped and very clean. The owners were also friendly and helpful.
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, the Owl Spot is definitely a must visit destination. It was so nice when we sat on the porch and lots of animals came to chat with us, 15 m away from us at the water hole. Do yourself a favor and book now!
Owl Spot is good value for money and very well equipped and clean. It looks like the pictures. We could buy ice and wood. We had a nice barbecue and it's very peaceful like that in the forest with the night sounds. I will definitely visit Owl Spot again.
The chalet is beautiful and well equipped. We were very warmly received and soon felt at home. This accommodation is definitely recommended.
See stars.
We had a lovely stay at Owl Spot and will definitely go back again.
Will definitely visit again.
Here you can't help but relax. It really is a piece of heaven on earth. The wildlife came and went at the water hole at the unit all day and it was lovely to sit and watch them live in their natural environment. The unit was clean and has everything one needs to make a getaway comfortable. During the game drive the guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. The game drive was really enjoyable and educational. We have already recommended Owl Spot to others and will be going back again ourselves.
Lovely and peaceful - hopefully we'll see them again soon.
We really enjoyed the game drive and had a great time together as friends.
This is an absolute gem! The chalet is beautifully appointed (we stayed in Scops Owl) and the view of the water hole from your own patio is incredible. The hosts really do go the extra mile to make your stay enjoyable and expertly booked other activities for us (game drive, bush walk). The romantic bush picnic is also highly recommended. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend Owl Spot to our family and friends.
Owl Spot is an amazing place to make memories and I will definitely go back in the near future. It's peaceful and the service is amazing.
Good setup in terms of the facilities and excellent communication.
Well-equipped unit with everything you need for self-catering. Very clean, tidy and well maintained. We look forward to the outdoor shower in the making. Nice view of the waterhole. Silence and rest just 60 km from Pretoria.
One of the best and cleanest places I had been. Would highly recommend it.
The accommodation is pretty modern and very tidy. The environment is breathtaking in the heart of the woods with animals that move past your cottage all day. Because of the many bushes it feels like you are alone there because you don't see the other units and that makes the experience even better.
Lovely, peaceful spot for a weekend break, great for birdlife.
Terribly beautiful, clean, quiet, nature. Probably one of the places with most friendly owner, helpful and polite. Stay was awesome. Will definitely visit there again.
Unfortunately after more than 10 hours of driving in Dinokeng we saw nothing of the Big 5. The unit we stayed in was very warm and the owner can put in an air conditioner.
The mattress in the lower room is soggy and needs to be replaced. The bed in the upper room has been temporarily fixed with a board, and this needs to be addressed. We couldn't find instructions for turning on the gas oven (may be there, but we didn't see it).
Very nice and modern house. The boma for the fire is cozy. The water hole attracted many animals and bird life. Marizanné's hospitality was excellent. Would feel free to suggest Owl Spot if you want to visit Dinokeng.
I would recommend to anyone. The accommodation was neat, very clean and hospitality was excellent. Thanks to the owners for making it so convenient. See you again soon!
Our 3 days at Mars Owl gave us so much rest. The place is spacious and tidy and everyone is so friendly and helpful. It's nice and quiet and the wildlife comes to eat and drink almost on your porch. The game drive was special as was the picnic. First class.
Unfortunately we only stayed one night, but it was a really good experience. From the booking to the departure we were kept informed about literally everything available and then we also went on a game drive which was a really nice experience. The house is well equipped with literally everything you will need to cook and sleep over. It was clean and tidy and we could hear the nocturnal animals from the large veranda. Would really recommend Owl Spot and feel free to do the game drive on offer. We were spoiled!
Lots of birds in camp! Lovely fire place and beautiful sounds in the evening!
We booked a stay at the Owl Spot while my brother was here from Australia, as he was desperate to get into the bush, but only here for a week so we couldn't go anywhere that required lengthy travel. We were so pleasantly surprised to find that the 2 units we had booked were close enough to each other, but both very private. Marizanne was wonderful to deal with, going our of her way to ensure we were looked after, and very helpful when I asked about having a game drive, and she organised it all for us. The bird life was incredible and we spent many hours just sitting on the patio looking at various beautiful birds in the trees around us. The unit was clean, spacious and well equipped for our stay. I would definitely recommend a stay, we will certainly be back.
Nice and quiet in the bush, great hosts, perfect and clean accommodation.
There are only four houses on Owl Spot and each one is wonderful on its own. We stayed in Marsh Owl. The house is well equipped (I have my own coffee plunger) and very convenient. Marizanne is a dear hostess and makes every effort to facilitate her guests' stay. Bring your own wood and ice. We were uncertain about the timber regulations on the transport of timber in certain areas. Remember mosquito repellents too! We watched such beautiful stars in the clear sky and enjoyed the animals walking to the watering hole. There are lovely birds in the area! And silence, wonderful silence! Lovely, comfortable stay!
The unit was neat and clean with everything you need, the zebras, blue wildebeest, kudus and moose walked past us. In the evenings you could hear the foxes while sitting next to a fire. The service was great and Marizanne and Jacques were always helpful. Would definitely recommend and go again for sure.
Really very peaceful and beautiful inside and then the animals in the area, will go again for sure.
Had a very nice week. The children enjoyed it and played well. It was nice to show and explain the wildlife in the area to the children. The night visit of the Jackals was special and something special.
The Dinokeng Game Reserve is quite confusing to find out where to drive. We got quite lost a few times. It is extremely expensive compared to other reserves as they want you to pay a daily self-drive rate which is definitely not worth it. I found that quite off-putting. The units at owl spot are lovely but walking area is quite limited.
We had a really lovely stay at Owl Spot. Accommodation is great, chalets seem recently refurbished so sparkling clean and new! Best shower I have had in a holiday house and awesome bathtub too. Well equipped kitchen, great braai area and stoep. Such a treat to have soft green grass around the house too! Dinokeng itself can be a bit hit and miss in terms of animal spotting, so would recommend doing the guided game drive with Jacques and Marizanne. Very reasonably priced. Such a convenient spot to get to. Great hosts and overall a good experience. We will be back.
I can highly recommend Owl Spot, we had a really special time. The peace and quiet is amazing, and we thoroughly enjoyed the game drive with Jacques. We will definitely be back!
Had a great time quietly and privately!
Very nice place, nice and private. Always nice to hear lions in the evenings, had lovely romantic bush picnics. Would definitely recommend it.
Two houses on site and each one is very private. Lovely quiet and clean away from the hustle and bustle of the city. House looks like the photos, with no negative surprises! Layout is well planned and has everything you need. You can just relax and enjoy the rich bird and animal life around you. Game drive with Marizanne was wonderful and learned a lot. Would recommend the place and would also like to go again if the opportunity presents itself.
My wife and myself spent a long weekend at Owl Spot lodge, the accommodation was wonderful and the owner was very friendly and willing to assist with any questions and queries. The game drive was also very informative and well worth it.
Baie aangename verrassing met groot ruimte binne en groot onderdak stoep vir buite kuier. Pynlik netjiese kombuis en badkamer en heerlike groot stoep lapa met braaigeriewe wat uit kyk op dié Bosveld. Ongelooflik voëllewe en bosgeluide, ‘n ware lafenis en verkwikking met persoonlike aandag en diens. Ideaal vir dié wegbreek en spesiaal gereëlde game drive beskikbaar buiten dié self-drive roetes. Omhein en veilige toegang.
Thank you so much for letting us stay in this beautiful place for a weekend. Everything was beautifully clean. It is not always that you find a place that looks exactly like the pictures on the internet, we were pleasantly surprised! Thanks again!
This is a gem to be discovered! Beautiful clean chalets in the heart of the bushveld of the Dinokeng Nature Reserve on the outskirts of Pretoria. Everything you need in this beautiful tranquil piece of nature. Enjoyed one of the best steak braais the Friday evening upon arrival and after our game drive on Saturday we prepared oxtail and lamb potjies outside our chalet with a huge bonfire at the braai area. Jacques and Marizanne have a passion for what they do and they will make a massive success of this new venture!
Jewel of the woodland. Will definitely stay there again. Very nice neat well maintained unit.
We had the privilege of being able to enjoy a wonderful weekend at Owl Spot Lodge. Every evening the lovely woodland silence next to a fire with the sounds of wild animals in the background. What more could we ask for to be able to just relax and forget about the everyday hustle and bustle. Jacques, our tour guide, showed us the scenic beauty of Dinokeng properly on Sunday morning and the treat with the coffee stop in the Reserve was delicious. Owl Spot Lodge is the ideal accommodation if you just want to get away and relax, the units were beautifully clean and fully equipped with everything you would need.
Luxurious, well equipped and quiet close to nature. Hostess's enthusiasm of Dinokeng is infectious. Can highly recommend it.
Good value for money - the accommodation is convenient and well equipped, the guesthouse is personal and warm, the area is beautiful and the animal and bird life is rich.
We enjoyed it very much, the children played well. We rested a lot with the silence of the forest every night next to the campfire.
Very nice stay with everything we needed. The only problem was that we thought there was a king-size bed but it was just a queen. Other than that I can recommend Owl Spot for any family.
We had a great stay at Owl Spot for a quiet, peaceful weekend. Would definitely recommend going there again.
Cleaning services are not even offered. Owner says she comes in herself, so of course you'll say it's not necessary. Power was off, there is no light or lamps available. Got a generator but it's not working. I feel we paid way too much and got nothing like we expected. Not recommended, it's too expensive for too little.
