10 guests' feedbackClean, tidy place to stay for people who want to relax in nature, very quiet, not for children.
Enjoyed ourselves and had peace.
A secluded location. Great for relaxing. The sound of the river was awesome. It was actually the actual highlight of the stay!
Not nearly like the pictures. The chalets were dirty, no coffee or tea facilities, no cup or glass and we could not use any facilities as depicted. The owner is uninvolved and everything we asked for was not available and he only "caters" to overseas customers for breakfast. We were not allowed to use the braai area, and no meals or bar facilities were available. As a group we held our braai at the Tented Camp's kitchen and braai area as the owner made himself at home in the lounge area which should actually be for Chalet residents. The chalets were not serviced in the 2 days, the bathroom in 1 chalet's floor flooded. The place definitely needs attention and if the person then only wants to prepare meals for overseas customers and make the bar available it must be indicated as such. The nearest place to visit is a few km away and the way back is bitterly dangerous in the evening. There is no TV anywhere. Not even in the living area, because the owner finds it too expensive to install and unaffordable. It was an absolute waste of money because the accommodation was extremely expensive for what we got. It now makes clear sense to me why his place was available and not the other lodges around him. We were so disappointed in the place to stay and will definitely never recommend it. There was no wifi or cell phone reception and the owner didn't even offer to make his wifi available to us. Weak, weak, weak!
Attentive owner, very clean, nice pool area. Trees need to be trimmed heavily to give advertised views.
Nice rest and great area if you like bushveld and camping.
We arrived late in the evening and Ian was patiently waiting for us and guided us to our tented chalet. He is really a lovely host and checked on us every day, suggesting various places in the area we can visit. The shared kitchen and boma space is fully kitted, and everything is neat and clean. The staff working at the lodge are engaging, cleaning the kitchen after every meal and loads of wood were piled on the braai for our fire every night.
There was just too much flies in the area, never ate our food in peace. It's very important as a manager to be consistent in terms of hospitality, the guy was very friendly when we got there and helping with all things, but he became something else when we left on Thursday. The cleaners were already cleaning the kitchen before we even finished using it, to us it looked like we were not welcome anymore, so never ever will I return to that place.
The place is very beautiful and well maintained. The owner made a lot of effort to make our stay pleasant.
