House rules
- A game drive vehicle can be hired at an extra cost per day. Guided game drives are available at an extra cost for a two hour drive. Please advise should you require this service.

- Please note that there is a gravel road leading to the accommodation. Guests are required to enquire about the condition of the gravel road before booking.

- Tholo Lodge does have an inverter/back up power and will keep the lights on, wi-fi going during loadshedding. It's however important to note that whilst every measure has been taken to supply water and electricity to the property, we are still dependent on water from the Mabalingwe Game Reserve. During certain stages of loadshedding the reserve may not always be able to fill all the water holding tanks to full capacity and there might be short periods of limited water during loadshedding periods. We can unfortunately not be held liable for such occurrences and guests will not be compensated should this occur.

- Rubbish to be kept in the lodge or bins provided, and rubbish will be removed when housekeeping services are booked.
- Please refrain from moving furniture around except for pool loungers and folding chairs. This damages the deck
- All doors and windows to be closed when not in residence.
- All windows to be closed and all doors to be locked on departure.
- Lodge keys are not allowed to be removed from the property and have to be locked in the key safe, even if you are going on a game drive.
- Fire is only allowed in the designated areas; braai and boma.
- Firewood for the boma and braai area can be pre-ordered for delivery at the lodge at an additional cost per bag.
- No firewood to be collected from the veld
- Beer bottles, caps, cigarette butts etc thrown in the veld will be cleaned at a charge of R500
- Any damages caused by non-adherence will be charged to guests directly.
- Some roads in the reserve are not tarred, and it is recommended to use a vehicle with a high clearance when possible.

Kindly take note of the following:
The management of Mabalingwe Nature reserve and the board, owners and agents of Tholo Lodge, do not accept liability for loss, damage or inconvenience caused by animals, weather conditions, injury, power cuts, loadshedding, fire or theft of any kind.

Please note that you will be required to accept the full terms and conditions as provided by the establishment upon booking.
Breakage deposits will be refunded 5-7 days after check-out. It is the guest’s responsibility to provide us with banking details for the refund.
- Please be advised that the check out time is 10am. A late check out is available subject to availability and at an additional charge. No exceptions. Please enquiry with the property beforehand.
