152 guests' feedbackTranquility at its best.
Very nice please. House has everything needed. There is an outdoor barbecue as well as a gas barbecue on the deck. Great view from the deck where you can sit and read for hours or just hang out. We enjoyed the walk where you could see the blesboks, zebras, impalas, duikers and wildebeest grazing. Rest for your soul where you truly experience soul rest.
Very peaceful and beautiful surroundings. Beautiful view over the Bosveld.
Thaba Lenaka 1 is a fantastic chalet. Lots of space, well equipped and gives you a feeling of being deep in the bush.
We had a great time, the stoep remains a winner, the view is very beautiful! We were also lucky not to get any 'load shedding'. When you walk in, you already feel at home. Everything was also in working condition and it is exactly how it looks in the photos. This was my fifth time at the accommodation and I would go back again anytime, maybe only when it's cooler.
We really enjoyed the large deck. The noises of the quad bikes from an adjacent farm were a bit annoying. I think it is necessary to add in the description of the property that it is not totally secluded. One can see lots of properties all around.
Very good. We hope to have one of the smaller chalets next time.
We would recommend it to anyone.
Everything was right, clean, tidy. Had a great stay and rested. Thank you, Marié and Peet!
Marie, the owner of the resort, made us feel at home from minute 1, the house is very neatly furnished. The tranquility and natural beauty made our third visit to the resort as good as the first. Affordable and value for money.
We had a wonderful rest, beautiful view, very neat facilities.
The house is very neat, the patio has a stunning view, great place to unwind.
We had a wonderful rest - Thaba Lenaka 1 is a beautiful place and the view is truly fantastic. We will visit there again for sure!
I enjoy staying here, a great place to unwind.
Wow. What an experience. If you are looking for tranquility, this is definitely the place to be. I will go there again for sure. Thank you very much for a wonderful weekend.
We had a great time at Thaba Lenaka! We were very kindly received by Marié and would love to visit here again.
We haven't stayed so luxuriously so affordably in a very long time. The deck with large dining table and lounge set was a highlight. The view lovely, will definitely have to return after the rain. Marie and Peet are exceptionally friendly and hospitable!
We had a lovely weekend at Thaba Lenaka. Will definitely go again.
What a beautiful place! We really enjoyed the weekend. No one to bother you - very private and the view from the porch is beautiful! Owner Marie was so friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived until we left. The house is really beautiful and luxuriously furnished. We will definitely go back to Thaba Lenaka again and have already recommended friends and family.
The house is very clean, everything you could need is new and available, will visit again and again.
Pity about Eskom and no Wi-Fi.
The view is picturesque and the house is very well furnished. Will definitely go again.
We were received very kindly. The unit was fully equipped and everything worked! Just a pity we could only sleep 2 nights.
The only annoyance was the noise of the quad bikes from the neighboring farms, don't know if it's from Klein Kariba or from Mon Repos. I don't think it's something Thaba Lenaka can necessarily do anything about.
Accomodation was fantastic, exactly like the picture. Location is great.
Thaba Lenaka 1 exceeded our expectations and is really very comfortable, spacious accommodation with everything one needs. The location of Thaba Lenaka is ideal for things to do.
This is a great place to spend a weekend to relax and unwind within easy travel distance from Joburg and Pretoria. Unit 1 is very spacious fully equipped and has great views out over the valley. Bird watching and walks on the farm being two of the things we enjoyed. We saw Zebra, Impala and Blesbok while out walking.
Friendly reception and everything in the unit is clean, tidy and working.
Thaba Lenaka 1 is stylish, spacious and tidy. The view from the porch is breathtaking. The house is well equipped and has quite a few nice luxuries. We really enjoyed our weekend there.
A really beautiful place, especially if you just want to get away with family and have a good time on the stoep. It was a little cold to spend the weekend on the porch, but really a homey feeling, beautifully laid out with furniture and everything.
A good place to to just chill and unwind.
Not far from Pretoria. 100 km radius. Very hot there in Bosveld. Place is 5 star. Marie is very friendly and helpful. Can recommend to any couple or family. Will go again.
Fantastic getaway to get yourself in the mood for life again.
Relaxing atmosphere.
House well stocked with items needed to stay.
I think what would make their place ideal is a jacuzzi on the deck.
The house is spacious and well equipped. Als is clean and tidy. We had a great time relaxing outside on the porch where you have a very nice view. The gas grill outside is handy. Would love to go again.
Liked the tranquil natural surroundings and that you can be on your own and private.
Could almost touch the zebras they were so tame. Really nice.
Been to Thaba Lenaka a few times and been satisfied every time. Very quiet there. There is no air conditioning, but there is a fan. It gets pretty hot there. Everything you need is there. Beautiful place.
Upon arrival, Marie came to greet us as if we had known each other for years and immediately made us feel welcome. We were pleasantly surprised to see that spacious unit one wash and everything is top notch. If you are someone who sets high standards when it comes to places to sleep, we can recommend this with confidence. The bird life is something very special with the Southern waterfowl and tiptolls that visit around and on the stoep all day. The badger pair were so tame that they even went inside the house looking for something to eat. We slept with the sliding door to the master bedroom open and could hear the calls of the distant night owls throughout the night. We may go there again.
Have no words to describe how nice it is. So into nature. Full points for everything. Plan to go again.
Accommodation is clean and tidy. People very friendly.
Everything was perfect, from the booking to the accommodation. Owners are very nice people, houses are far apart and other guests do not bother you. The house has everything you can think of. Beautiful place.
Great value for money. Excellent thatched cottage 5 star.
Can really recommend Thaba Lenaka for a peaceful getaway and rest for the soul! Very well located, neat and safe! Delicious!
I highly recommend Thaba Lenaka. Marie is very friendly. The place is nice, private, beautiful, neat, spacious and cozy. The location is perfect. Will definitely visit again!
Thaba Lenaka is a stunning and nice place to stay at. The lodge is very well equipped with everything you need. Will definitely go back.
Wat 'n wonderlike plek, uitstekende diens, rustigheid en ingerig bo ons verwagtiginge.
Everything so beautiful and neat with a stunning view! Future visitors: Please keep it. so neat for everyone? Marie, you will definitely see us again! Thank you!
Very nice thatched house with lovely patio and beautiful views. We really enjoyed the weekend.
You only drive an hour from Pretoria to discover this gem in the bush! Would recommend to anyone as well as a large group of people!
See stars.
I would highly recommend this place. Was woken up by birds and beautiful views. Very peaceful and serene. Spacious and well decorated.
It was incredibly nice and beautiful. Owner went out of their way to make it special.
See stars.
Our baby boy loved the tame Zebras. It was truly a quiet, relaxing and nice forest getaway. Saw many birds. Very nice barbecue and visit on the deck. See you again!
Thaba Lenaka didn’t disappoint - keep it up.
The stay was incredibly nice and peaceful. Had a very friendly reception and welcome. It's very private and relaxed in the woods. The house was very nicely furnished and painfully neat. I would recommend anyone to relax there. It had been breathtaking.
What a place. We had a good rest, everything was just right. We were friendly received and immediately felt at home. The place was 100%.
The unit is well located and very private. Rested well and enjoyed the natural beauty in the surroundings. Highly recommended.
We will definitely go again. Maybe next time with family or friends.
The house's interior is unbelievably beautiful and the wooden patio in front is the cherry on top. Beautiful view and early in the morning you can see game next to the river all the way from the patio. Enjoyed it a lot and will definitely go back.
My sister and I had a very special time. We basically sat on the porch the whole time and hung out. The view was beautiful! The house is well furnished with everything one needs. And the interior decoration is very tastefully done and we felt like we were out of Africa!
I've been there so many times and I will book again for many years. Great place for socials, clean and neat rooms. I could spend all my days on the patio. Marie Horn, thanks so much for the opportunity to visit your place!
Very friendly service, good value for money. Very nice rest especially with the view you have.
We thoroughly enjoyed it. The house is beautifully laid out and perfect for a relaxing weekend in the woods. Marie is also a friendly and very helpful host.
Had a very nice weekend. Very nice and clean house with a good view from the porch. Very quiet and safe and very wild. Can't wait to go again.
Would recommend to anyone for a peaceful, relaxing and beautiful stay. Awesome house.
Very nice stay. Will do so again in the summer.
Extremely neat and comfortable accommodation. Peaceful surroundings and definitely value for money.
Fantastic breakaway, very comfortable. The view from the deck is beautiful. The chalet is very spacious, clean and neat. Same applies to the 2 rooms upstairs, both with full bathrooms. Would've been convenient if there were a toilet somewhere downstairs, but no deal breaker. Can't wait to go there again!
Just two words to describe this accommodation PAR EXCELLENCE.
Looking for a place away from everything and everyone? A place to find yourself again? Explore the world safely on foot? Listen to the sounds of nature at night like you can only do in the bush? The management is super hospitable and the place is super neat, clean and fully equipped. This is the first place where they welcomed us with the necessary things for coffee. It may sound stupid, but everything to the finest detail, even toilet paper and ice blocks ofr a glass of something cold, if coffee is not your speed. If you are looking for a place to rest far from the city, this is a must!
Marie was very nice and made us feel welcome right from the start. The scenery and sounds are enough to make you forget about your daily worries and just recharge your batteries. Thank you for a lovely weekend.
Went with family visiting from Scotland. Everyone very impressed. Had a most enjoyable break. Will definitely be back again.
Dis baie rustig en pragtig, eenheid is skoon en netjies.
We were pleasantly surprised bu this accommodation. Everything was convenient, clean and beautiful. The nice and spacious veranda with a view is a bonus!
Close to Pretoria for a getaway with the kids. Not big enough so that you can drive around and see game at all. You see a few buck and zebra walking distance of a about half an hour from the farm. As keen birders it was wonderful to visit Nylsvlei and surrounds.
There isn't much to do on the farm. We walked across the whole farm within an hour, so birng enough to do and to eat.
Had a wonderful getaway at Thaba Lenaka. It is close to Johannesburg, very neat and clean. Very peaceful place and we really enjoyed it. A true gem of a place and I am so happy we discovered it. The pics is a poor reflection of how wonderful this accommodation actually is! Will definitely call again!
We enjoyed our stay tremendously. Will definitely stay here again and I highly recommend Thaba Lenaka to all our friends.
Very pretty and neat place in the heart of the bushveld. Would recommend to anyone to go and visit Mari and them. A beautiful place.
Ideal place for a peaceful break and lovely time. Could spend hours on that deck! Well equipped and tidy - value for money.
Quiet, peaceful and surrounded by natural beauty. View wildlife from the balcony of Cottage or go for a walk among the wildlife, especially the zebras are used to people and it was wonderful for me to be able to go so close to them and walk with them. I was looking for some peace and quiet and found it in abundance at this unique place. If people want to be more active the location is ideal, next to Klein Kariba which people can visit as day visitors and about 8 km from Bela Bela for more to do and see and shopping etc. I highly recommend Thaba Lenaka there are two smaller chalets also available and the spacious, luxurious Cottage which can accommodate 6 (we were only 2 and the payment is per person) was good value for our money.
I was absolutely impressed by every single thing.
Very well equipped. We had a lot of fun and had day visitors.
Very relaxing weekend. The unit is neat and well equipped. Would definitely recommend the resort. Glad they have now also built a braai at the unit.
Tranquil and quiet environment, we really enjoyed. We will definitely be back soon.
Beautiful and everything is tasteful, even the cutlery and corckery. Tranquil, quiet, and stunning nature despite the drought. The hosts were very friendly. A few large casseroles are advisable in the kitchen and maybe a large fraying pan for eggs. We were 5 adults (mom and dad, married son and spouse, and daughter 30). We had to buy aluminium casseroles. Otherwise - highly recommended!
Will go back again anytime. Great for just a weekend of doing nothing and being close to nature. Well received.
Would stay here again anytime. Amazing view and close to everything. There not a pool, but didn't even miss it. Value for money and relaxed atmosphere. Next time I will come for a week.
It's within an hour and a half from Johannesburg, in the silence of the bushveld. That porch is a winner! Had a great time, just a shame there isn't a pool!
Please see the stars.
It was an incredibly nice break to the silence and nature of the upper veld. Just what we needed.
I will definitely visit Thaba Lenaka again. It is a beautiful and extremely neat place with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Marie, our hostess, was also friendly and accommodating.
It was an experience for us. We have never been so well rested. We definitely want to go there more. It's our new favorite.
Maybe just add fire place for winter only then you will beat Mabalingwe.
Als was 100% - we had a good rest, als was clean and tidy. The house was very well equipped with everything one could possibly need. We just wouldn't have minded if there was air conditioning because it had been incredibly hot - but the fans in the house helped a little.
We were warmly welcomed and delighted beyond expectations with our accommodation. It was spotless with lovely linen, and fragrant soaps and lotions in the bathrooms. Was a treat to find lots of ready-made ice in the freezer, tea coffee sugar and creamer, bin-liners, washing-up liquid and cloths, lots of coat hangers, and a special gift of Thaba Lenaka coasters. When load-shedding occurred we were immediately SMS'ed to ask if we had everything we needed. The unit has a good indoor/outdoor flow with a pretty bush and river view from the large comfortably-furnished verandah. Lovely to walk freely in the game area and I would enjoy staying there again.
It is worth the money and a very nice place to just break away from the city life. First class accommodation with the birds chirping in the forest and the wildlife. I would highly recommend Thaba Lenaka.
Nice and spacious. Everything you need for a nice visit.
We enjoyed our stay here, we just wish they had game drives available, but besides that it was a lovely experience, very peaceful. We will definitely be coming back here!
House is stunning and private. Service is friendly. Will use Thaba Lenaka as a base to explore the area in the future. It would be nice to have an optional cleaning service.
We had a fab time at Thaba Lenaka. This is more than just a place to stay ... you will feel spoiled staying in comfort in the Bush. The owners did not spare any expense when arranging the house unlike other places where cheap has been marketed as luxury. Do note this is self catering and includes everything upside is you have privacy. Your own little piece of the Bushveld.
The most luxurious furnished chalet with a true African wildlife decor and helpful hosts.
We are already planning our next stay there.
Would recommend for a quiet weekend away in the bush with luxury accommodation.
Would go again anytime! We rested well. It's nice and quiet on the deck, with only the birds and the river you hear. Calming! The unit is very "classy". Would recommend anytime.
The cottage is very beautiful and luxurious. Comfortable for as long as you want to stay. The view was breathtaking. I will recommend Taba Lenaka to everyone who wants to relax and refuel.
Clean and tidy! In a beautiful setting with a beautiful view! Can definitely recommend it!
Beautiful housing with very beautiful scenery. The experience was truly worth it and we would recommend anyone to take the chance to stay here.
Beautiful house with everything you need, and lovely space for hanging out on the porch.
It's a beautiful place! Got much more value than expected!
We were pleasantly surprised. Very friendly reception and response to inquiries.
The place is definitely recommendable! We were very warmly received, and were privileged to be the first couple who could stay in the new Cottage. Everything is nicely equipped and very clean. It's the perfect place for a weekend! We will definitely do it again!
We had a great time at Thaba Lenaka!
Alles bakgat. I'd suggest changing the TV to a plasma screen, and then you'll be perfect!
We had a great stay, but feel that they should invest in a fan or air-con as was very hot. Otherwise, we enjoyed it to the fullest. Thanks.
Perfectly situated and most peaceful stay. Will recommend with great pleasure! Thank you once again!
Lovely accommodation. Was very peaceful. Only thing I can note as a small issue was that the veranda has no safety guard for children. We had a great stay anyway!
We liked the place very much with my family. It was a perfect Easter Break, far from the madding crowd and noise of the City. It is very convenient , easily accessible even to other amenities and activities of fun and enjoyment around the Thaba Lenaka. It was enjoyable break and a WOW feeling
It was lazy with a nice deck to relax on.
Very clean and very well furnished. Had a really quiet and relaxing time.
We really enjoyed our stay at this luxurious and wonderful, clean and quiet guest farm, it was a fantastic weekend. We would definitely go back again. Keep it up!
See the stars below.
The place is so peaceful and it is a remedy for us who are exposed to the city noises.
Enjoyed every bit of our stay.felt refreshed. If you want peace & tranquility then Thaba Lenaka is where you should be at.
A stunning cottage surrounded by nature - a perfect getaway from the city.
The venue was beautiful, and we found it to be real value for money.
Had an amazing weekend, loved everything! In short, and awesome stay!
Thaba Lenaka is an excellent accommodation, which provides great service. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there!
Thank you once again to Marie and Thaba Lenaka. My fiance and I went for a romantic weekend away and Thaba Lenaka was perfect in every way. This was just the break we needed. Thank you :)
If you want a place of tranquility and peace, then I would recommend this place. Not far away from the Bela Bela CBD, as well as surrounding tourist attractions.
We had the pleasure of staying for a weekend at Thaba Lenaka and will absolutely recommend it to anybody wanting to get away to peace and tranquility. The hosts are the most amazing and friendly people and the house is offered way under priced for the quality and size.
We had a very peaceful rest at Thaba Lenaka. Being in touch with God-given nature was a wonderful experience for us. Many thanks to Marie, for all her hospitality and the high quality standards of the rooms.
The place is very nice and quiet. I would suggest if you can build a swimming pool since many people like to swim and would prefer to avoid going somewhere else to take a dip. Other than that, perfect!
Very peaceful area, it's ideal for a restful weekend getaway.
Really great - would have liked to stay longer than 1 night!
The house is so out of this world, excellent. Next year we will be back to celebrate our anniversary as this is a romantic getaway as well!
This is what anyone would enjoy, a stunning and beautiful place to stay! When I walked into the Cottage I had a jaw dropping moment of pure joy and excitement! A Huge thank you to Marie and her amazing staff for looking after us so nicely. To Marosane from TravelGround.com, Thank you very much for your amazing assistance and helping me find my perfect Holiday accommodation ever!!
We will recommend this to anyone who would like to getaway and relax.
Highly recommended for couples who are looking for a romantic and private getaway - and do not wish to stay at a hotel. The decor was absolutely magnificent and the hospitality was excellent. Very clean and spacious!
Thaba Lenaka is a very neat and tidy place. Thank you again for the wonderful service. Great value for money, and stunning location. Everything was very well done, including the way my booking was handled - nothing was too difficult.
I cannot recommend Thaba Lenaka highly enough! A must visit!
It was a wonderful and pleasurable experience.The cottage was immaculate,luxurious and high-tech.It was so comfy and well located.We had a peace of mind out of the rush in the city.We were living in a TOP BILLING HOUSE.Iwould love to come back again,even my kids enjoyed themselves. Everything in that house was just perfect.
I could write a book on what a GREAT place this is!! I would recommend this place to everyone I know. From the decor to the atmosphere you feel relaxed and revitalised from the moment you get there. Its close enough to Pretoria and Johannesburg for a weekend away but itâ??s also far enough to feel like a holiday. The owners Marie and Peet are so helpful and friendly. Thank you so much for the awesome weekend. It was just what we needed :)
Very relaxing stuning house and it is a hours drive from PTA! Thank you!!
The stay at Thaba Lenaka was a memorable one.Will be coming back very soon.
Refreshing and for the kids it was dream land as there were so many animals to see and the cleanliness of the apartment was welcoming.
It was a fabulous weekend away from the cityâ??s hassle and bustle. We had a beautiful view of the surrounding area from the veranda where we also had most of our meals. We spent most of our time relaxed on the veranda where there is a nice sitting area and table. Just chilling with a drink in the hand or entertaining ourselves with board games and conversation. It was a girl weekend only and we enormously enjoyed ourselves with no outside interference of any kind. The nature is close by and night noises is so relaxing that you just wish to sleep outside on the veranda. The only thing missing was a pool, but with Forever Resort only 8km away it was not a big inconvenience but would have been nice on those days that you do not want move from the lodge.
Its a very safe place with all the neccesary equipment required.very well kept,clean and very friendly service
