155 guests' feedbackThe people are very professional and service delivery is great. The food is very tasty and rooms neat and clean. Throughout the evening one will hear the lions, hyenas and jackals. I will definitely stay there again.
We had an incredibly amazing and peaceful long weekend. The hospitality was excellent and the food from the restaurant was very tasty. We will definitely go back!
Best place to just relax. Place is clean and has everything you need. The people are super friendly and the hostess makes you feel very welcome.
Was so hospitable and made sure we were comfortable and everything was nice and clean and peaceful. The food was absolutely delicious and the scenery was breathtaking!
The food is amazing! Very tasty and well priced. Staff are all very friendly and go out of their way to make sure everything is ok.
Very relaxing. Was able to view animals without leaving camp.
Had a very peaceful weekend with top shelf food!
Great stay, wonderful staff. will definitely recommend for a real bush experience.
This was a very last minute booking, but the outstanding service my parents received was out of this world. Thanks to Bernadette for her amazing hospitality. She made sure my parents were taken care of during their anniversary. My parents could not fault the place.
Super friendly service.
It was so peaceful. The best hostess anyone could wish for. The food is top notch! Been absolutely wonderful.
Rooms were spacious and welcoming. I wish next time when I go there is TV and that they have breakfast on buffet.
Located in the forest which is very nice and quiet. Very safe and the roar of the lions was so beautiful! Very neat and special service. Food was out of a book and filling! Will definitely visit again, thank you very much.
Bernadette was a fantastic hostess, food was delicious and the atmosphere fantastic.
The host made up for what the accommodation lacked. Was a great time away.
Absolutely fantastic host. The owners hang around a bit too much, which makes a person feel uneasy, almost like they don't trust their staff.
Room had everything needed. The massage parlor next to the accommodation was just noisy on the Saturday afternoon with guests. Lighting in kitchenette could be improved.
The meals were well prepared. Found it unusual for such a small lodge. Staff was very friendly.
Shower curtain torn and dirty. Floor not tiled and unhygienic.
Photos look much better than it is. Although accommodation is clean, it is old. Towels washed through. Wardrobe for both sleeping places in the kitchen area. Around the units, the site is neglected. However, the restaurant area is much better.
It was Quite and tranquile , Lives up to It name. Owners and staff very friendly and helpful.
Best breakfast ever had.
Thank you for a nice visit. We felt at home. We ate so well. Will check in with you again anytime.
Our stay at Tranquillity Lodge was nothing short of amazing. Our host, Bernadette is the soul of this place and she made sure we felt like we were the only ones there. The effort taken on little things, like setting the table exactly how we ended up sitting on the first night. Keeping our tab open so we could move around care free and helping us light a fire when we had nothing with us. Thinking of everything before we even did. This place was the most relaxing and Tranquil spot, no one even talking loudly. The gardener even pushed the wheelbarrow silently over the paving. Bernadette and staff all went out of their way to make our stay as peaceful as possible. I cannot wait to go back again. Highly recommend this place. Also close to lion and cheetah and hyena lodges, so you experience the proper sound of the bush at night with predators and other wild creatures. We will definitely not be able to stay away. Thank you Bernadette. You were as friendly and wonderful early morning as you were late at night. If you ever move to another lodge, please let me know so we can follow you. Heart and sole of Tranquillity lodge. One thing I appreciated was that cell phone reception was spotty. Perfect to send a WhatsApp but not enough to get bothered by electronics all weekend.
Management helped us to cross the flooded road, which makes us feel at home.
Was so 'n lekker vakansie en die mense is vriendelik en mens word lekker bederf met die heerlikste ontbyt.
Will definitely bring my whole family to Tranquility Spa Lodge in the future for a weekend getaway for quiet fine dining and pampering.
If I can suggest one thing it is to open up the pool area, so there comes in a breeze of air.
Hospitality and humor stand out. The all-in-one lady is excellent.
We really enjoyed our time there. The houses are very neat and comfortable - everything works and the place is clean. The bar/restaurant was convenient to use for meals.
Very peaceful, quiet and calm.
Only thing I would suggest is stock the kitchen. As there are no utensils, glasses and plates. But all in all, we will return. Beautiful bush chalets, has a stocked bar, Jacuzzis, swimming pool. And an amazing deck to enjoy sundowners. Owners are very hospitable.
It was very nice there. Very clean and everyone there is friendly and helpful. They all think out of the box with everything. The food is fantastic. I would recommend it to anyone.
Value for money.
Needs to state that breakfast is included in price. It was a nice surprise.
Great place to just break away from the city and find your soul!
It is beautiful there and wonderfully peaceful. I love animals and really enjoyed the 2 dogs there. The place is clean and tidy. I really enjoyed the roar of the lions nearby. We will definitely go there again. Thank you very much for you.
The place needs some revamp curtains and furniture. The staff is very friendly and the food is very nice. It's a great place to be.
Really enjoyed our time away at Tranquillity. Sadly the property needs a bit of TLC and could do with a few upgrades on the furnishing (beds, curtains, amenities etc.) and general upkeep, but overall decent value for money. The food is amazing, and Lizzy and Marty's service was out of this world. Will definitely be visiting again.
Was our wedding anniversary and they made us feel very special with a bottle of champagne.
Chalets well maintained and staff friendly.
Lizzy is an absolute gem. Always ready to assist when needed.
Greatly relax and have a good rest.
On arrival we had to wait a long time to gain access, intercom did not work. Friendly welcome by Lizzy, who is terribly busy as it seems that the management (bar and dining room and reservations) has been left to her. No Covid protocol is applied whatsoever. The cleanliness of our accommodation as well as the restaurant leaves much to be desired. There is so much potential with this place, but unfortunately the owners are not "hands on" involved. When we went to watch rugby the bar was full of people, Lizzy had to arrange food orders, drink orders and observe service where the owners only socialized with the visitors. Sorry for the negative, it's not in our nature to find fault, but have had much more pleasant experiences.
Wonderful holiday, everyone makes you feel comfortable. Sleep peacefully. Food in restaurant is very nice and prices are really fair. Lots to keep you busy. And everywhere prices are reasonable and aimed at South Africans' pockets. Definitely see me again.
We had some special requests and Bernadette and Lizzy were helpful and made an extra effort. The restaurant's food is very tasty. We were a group and everyone was happy with their food. Would definitely recommend Tranquility
We had a great long weekend. Staff are friendly, and take care of your every need. The owner and staff are wonderful people. We will be back for sure!
The staff at tranquility really put a lot of effort into making our wedding anniversary extra special and their full body massage is definitely worth it. Thank you Lizzie and team at Tranquility Spa Lodge.
Less than 50 km from Pretoria. Wonderful woodland atmosphere. Units very well appointed. Friendly staff and owners. Have a nice time. Food excellent. Fantastic to hear the lions in the evening. Will definitely do a getaway like this again to Tranquility spa.
Lizzie was a star. Went as a large group and they looked after us very well and made us feel very welcome. Will definitely go again.
Excellent management!
I would recommend Tranquillity Spa to absolutely everyone! The hosts were beyond amazing and were able to cater to our every need. Would definitely go back and recommend to anyone.
Staff is excellent, service is above average good. Maintenance in chalets lacks attention.
Excellent to visit and restore time for your soul and humanity.
Hospitality was amazing. Owner drove into town to buy me meat to braai. Went on an incredible 3 hour game drive for a meagre R250! Saw loads of animals. Loved our few days. Can't wait to return. Recommend it!
The service is excellent, the food is out of this world and the stay was so peaceful and pleasant. Lizzy is a star and she and her team made us feel very comfortable and welcome. I haven't received such good service and value for money in a long time.
The staff is friendly and considerate, tidy and a very peaceful atmosphere.
More than I expected, good food, nice visit and of course the game drive. Never have I been out with a guide who told us so much. The closeness of the animals can only be described as awesome. Many thanks to everyone for a very nice weekend. Will do so again. Costs were reasonable.
Tranquility is very well located in the Dinokeng area and the place surprised us with the excellent service we received from the staff. The food was also very good and the prices were reasonable in the bar. If I have to single out one problem it is that the Kudu Chalet needs an update. A wonderful day and evening.
Nice place! We went to rest, and that's what we did. Close to JHB and yet feels like you are away from it all. Was very nice.
Place was very beautiful. And had a wonderful stay. The ladies who work there are very friendly. Can see how a nice big group can also stay there. Breakfast is at 9am which can be good or bad. It suited us very well on a Sunday afternoon. The menu is basic, but the food is very tasty. Can really recommend the Tranquility Pizza. Just be warned, there are no eating utensils such as knives, forks and plates in the rooms. Take your own, although you can borrow from the restaurant. The cell phone signal at the big gate is very weak and you can have quite a bit of trouble getting in and out. Take a Vodacom, Cell C and MTN phone and see which one works that day. Just be warned, the Jacuzzi is not kept clean and they need 24 hour notice to clean it. So a bit disappointing if you looked forward to it. The Wildways gate to Dinokeng Game Reserve is not far. I think it would also be nice of the staff to help someone who doesn't know the area with advice and road directions to Wildways' gate where you can drive yourself if you don't agree to the game drive.
Our chalet needs renovation, other chalets are very nice. The use of hot tub is too expensive.
Beautiful location. Friendly service. Tidy.
Awesome place, friendly staff.
Friendly staff, peaceful atmosphere and neat accommodation.
Sal graag weer daar inboek. Kos is uit die boonste rakke. Beste ooit. En mensies is baie vriendelik en bedagsaam.
Convenient stay, hospitable hosts and delicious food.
We were warmly welcomed and everything was so special. The unit was so beautifully decorated because it was our wedding anniversary. Food is delicious and everyone is very friendly. Like family.
Treated like kings, what a place and what a view. Owners are super helpful, food tops and staff very friendly.
We were very surprised by the service we received at the resort. The staff were very friendly, helpful and couldn't do enough to help. Ray and his team operate a gold mine.
One of the best places I have ever visited. Excellent and friendly service.
Wonderful scenery and the sound of the lions roaring made this an unforgettable holiday. And the workers are so nice and helpful. Had a great massage too. Will definitely return.
Upon arrival, the owner Ray welcomed us, and immediately offered us a larger room that was available, at no extra charge. The location is excellent; very close to Pretoria/Johannesburg, and adjacent to the new Groot 5 Dinokeng reserve. In the evenings you hear the lions roaring from the neighboring farm. Great food and cocktails, and excellent service.
Thanks for an awesome time. We loved every minute from the room that's so beautiful to the great swimming pool area and then there is the food. The best I have had in a long time. And the staff is very friendly and helpful all the time. Ray and Beth are wonderful hosts, and there for your every need. Can't wait to visit again.
Rooms are spacious and tidy. Staff in the restaurant and bar very friendly. We had a fantastic evening at the boma and barbecue and the service was excellent.
From when we arrived until we left, the hospitality and delicious meals were just a great treat. The accommodation and surrounding environment compliment each other, and the cocktails are a definite must. Thank you very much to Tommie and his staff. We will definitely go back as well as refer friends and family.
It had been so peaceful and completely listened to the lions. Lizzy is such a nice person talking to her makes your day.
It's very peaceful. Just what you want to finish.
Like the peace and quiet.
Very friendly and helpful from the time we checked in on Friday night until we left on Sunday morning, it was amazing.
Nice and lofty accommodation with friendly and helpful staff and owner. The food at the restaurant was wonderful. The kitchen can be a bit noisy at night when you want to listen to the sounds of the night. It was lovely to hear the lions and jackals during the night.
Delicious and affordable food at the restaurant. Calm atmosphere and good service. Nice pools. Game drives are quality.
Just a thought: We went for a massage which was very good and we enjoyed it. It would have been nice to have had some soothing music playing in the background.
The place is very peaceful, as the name suggests. Ray and his wife really went out of their way to make us feel at home. Enjoyed it a lot.
Ray and Beth, thank you for a very relaxing weekend with Lizzy and staff who are so friendly and there to serve with a smile. 1 Kudu is so private and the game is close to the fence while we have a braai. Where in the world you can sit in the bush and see an AN 2 Bi-plane land. Sit at a farm dam with your feet in the water, bear in hand and watch game drink in the watering hole 20 meters from you.
We booked in on the Saturday afternoon for the evening. We were welcomed by the owner and manger on arrival and shown to our unit, Hedgehog. Everything was neat and clean. We enjoyed our stay and will like to come back someday.
The accommodation was neat and clean. Very friendly service and the food was fantastic.
A real bush experience. Ray was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were neat and clean. They just forgot the 2 single beds. Breakfast was lovely and enough! Will definitely visit Tranquillity again.
The lodge is nothing fancy, but Lizzy's service is great and makes it worth it.
The place is very peaceful. If you're looking for time to yourself I highly recommend it. Although I feel that the manager can increase activities for kids such as trampoline and slides.
See stars.
The place is very relaxing. The staff are friendly and helpful.
We enjoyed it immensely, the silence, the most beautiful views, caught up on much overdue sleep. We went on a game drive, it was a bit expensive for me for the time we were on the drive. For the rest it was wonderful, the evenings around the fire and the roar of the lions in the background were definitely a plus point.
A lot of maintenance to be done on premises. Restaurant was actually the highlight. Food and service very good. Layout of chalets not to my liking.
Our unit was not clean when we got there. The room was very neglected. Our food in the restaurant was not good either. I really wouldn't recommend the place.
It was very nice there. The staff is very friendly and helpful. All that put us off was that we could not park our car at the chalet. The manager told us they were getting ready for a wedding in October and the grass should be ready by then. We understand this 100% but was just a bit of an inconvenience.
Breathtaking bushveld.
The weekend was wonderful and just what we needed. Tobie is very hospitable and helped tremendously with explanations and recommendations of what to do. The lodge itself is not in Dinokeng Game Reserve, but it is a short distance to the gate, and we even drove around the farm itself and saw wildlife. The food is delicious and affordable, and the restaurant has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
It was very relaxing. The staff and guest are friendly and willing to help if you need something. The food is delicious.
Next time we want to stay longer. It was a lovely break to a very well organized place. Here you are not just a number, but you become someone! Tommy was the best host and we quickly made friends with him. That food was delicious! We enjoyed every moment and will definitely come back again.
The accommodation is very good and clean, staff are very friendly and even the food is of good quality. Will visit there again.
The service and the food was excellent, it was very peaceful. An enjoyable trip all round. The host was very attentive when we went to the restaurant/bar. I would recommend for a peaceful get away.
Many thanks to Tommy, he makes the lodge so much more enjoyable. Delicious food, lovely atmosphere, the name 'Tranquillity' is 100% appropriate - so peaceful. My highlight was the spa treatment and the lions talking through the night - what an experience. Will definitely go back again and highly recommend.
It was a wonderful holiday! It offers you a break from the hustle and bustle of city life. Tommy (the lodge manager) was extremely helpful, friendly and always made sure we were happy. The breakfast was fantastic! At night you hear the roar of lions. I would recommend the lodge to anyone looking to get away for a weekend or for a few days.
Will definitely go back again!
Tommy and his team were hospitable and very helpful! The accommodation itself was also top notch! Would recommend to anyone wanting to experience a bit of woodland.
Tommy went out of his way to make us happy, he greeted us by name when we stopped by and made sure everything was perfectly in place. Many thanks also to Dan who took us for the game drive, his information he gave us was very good. Thank you for making us feel like family.
Lovely stay. We enjoyed every minute of it. Location is absolutely awesome and you can hear the Lions roaring at night. The MD is so helpful and lovely. The food is out of this world and reasonably priced. The breakfasts included are so yummy and the fact that it is included makes it such great value for money. The only thing would be that it must be mentioned that all cutlery and pots/pans etc. must be brought by the visitors as we were not aware, and people that are camping parked right by the jacuzzi's and the outdoor pool which made it uncomfortable for us to go swim so we did not make use of those facilities. All in all, an absolutely lovely stay! Cozy, clean and absolute value for money!
Our host received us very kindly and throughout the whole time he made us feel absolutely at home. He treated us as if we were the only guests but he did the same with every other guest. The food was delicious and we really had a good time and relaxed.
A place we would definitely go back to. Tommy is an awesome host. Place is clean and safe.
Recommend it to everyone.
Dinokeng was a little disappointing but the lodge made up for it. We saw a multitude of lions that you won't find in Dinokeng. The people around us were incredibly friendly and shared their knowledge with us. It was a wonderful getaway for me and my wife. Will definitely go back again.
Great to have a pool at the lodge, especially in summer. Private airstrip on site.
The food is to die for and activities that kids love. Very friendly staff. It's home away from home. I would go there anytime.
Just what we needed, what a nice relaxing weekend breakaway not too far from home. All the staff are very friendly and make you feel special, they go out of their way to make your stay memorable. Rooms were neat and comfortable and had everything we needed. The food was delicious and portions generous. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an affordable relaxing break.
Tommie made us feel welcome and went out of his way to ensure we weren't short of anything. The fact that you can walk outside the boundaries of the lodge such a bonus! The accommodation was very neat and clean and just ask the kitchen if you need any cutlery. The restaurant food was delicious, the wait just a bit long. We were pleasantly surprised by the breakfast.
It was delicious, no complaints and the service was fantastic! Will go again.
Tommie was a great host. From our advance inquiries for extra information about bird watching, the reception on arrival and the service throughout the period. All this made it our best bush weekend ever. The complimentary massage for Mother's Day was also a very pleasant surprise.
Tommy and Beth were amazing. They moved our rooms after they saw our 2 year old and offered to give us a room with a bath. They were constantly worried about my boy and went out of their way to make him food that he would eat. The massage was heavenly and the Jacuzzi was super fun.
Little gem on the doorstep of the city. The reception was warm and friendly and we immediately felt welcome. The food from the restaurant was delicious and the staff very friendly and helpful. This is a place to go to just relax and get away from the city and technology. The roar of lions and the night sounds were fantastic; jackals and hyenas and even bullfrogs. The swimming pool is located where you can see the goats at the water hole.
It was relaxing and a very lovely stay.
We really enjoyed our time there! The restaurant's food was delicious and value for money! Friendly service!
It was relaxing and fun.
Thanks to Tommy and his team for a nice peaceful weekend. Your breakfast was top notch and the cappuccinos even better. Thank you for making us feel at home and for your hospitality and friendly service! I would recommend Tranquility Spa Lodge to anyone!
Tommy and the other staff were very hospitable and helpful. We were a large group and used their restaurant for a party. They were involved in the arrangements from start to finish and ready to help where they could. The breakfast was fantastic! The spa is definitely a great treat. The best part of the weekend was sitting around the fire and hearing the lions roar. The chalets are neat and comfortable, the kitchen provides cutlery if you ask. The bush lodge rooms need some renovation. Tranquility Spa Lodge will definitely see us again!
Massages are not done thoroughly. Guests wait very long for food at restaurant.
The resort is very peaceful and you relax wonderfully. Many thanks to Tommy and the staff who go out of their way to provide good service. Your hospitality is something special. Tommy decided of his own accord to upgrade us to a larger unit, free of charge. It was a nice surprise. The variety on the restaurant menu is limited and somewhat expensive. The breakfast is the same every day and your food bill works out expensive, because the kitchenette in the chalet was not fully equipped. The ice took a long time to freeze because the freezer door was closed. We recommend a game drive on Jakkals' buffalo vehicle.
Very cute getaway just outside Pretoria. Caretaker goes out of his way to make it comfortable.
Accommodation was quiet and nice. My three year old daughter enjoyed it thoroughly. Our room was upgraded because we stayed for four nights. It was unexpected and much appreciated. The lions in the nearby camp is unbelievable and we enjoyed the roaring sounds very much. We will definitely go again - for a day visit or overnight stay. Staff is friendly and helpful.
Ate too much, but so relaxing. Cobwebs and spiders everywhere, but it probably goes with the environment. Very nice stay, pizzas and breakfast. Was very nice thank you very much.
Positive: Very good service, very hospitable. The food was very nice. Negative: The unit was very basic - thin blankets, with no extra blankets. The bathroom and especially the shower was very basic. The only TV is in the public area. My expectation was that it would be closer to Dinokeng Nature Reserve. As a stopover it was adequate, but I would have struggled to keep the kids occupied for a whole weekend.
Friendly staff and always helpful. The lodge has a very peaceful atmosphere and the roar of the lions is so close to the bushveld. Restaurant has delicious food.
See stars.
From arrival to departure we were taken care of. Nothing is too much trouble. Truly a place to kick off your shoes and just relax.
Good customer service I received at Tranquility Spa Lodge. The staff and both managers are friendly, easy to talk with and went an extra mile for us. A very big thank you to Mercy for hosting and attending to our every need, and Tsitsi thank you for those great meals you prepared for us. Definitely coming back in the future.
Lovely peaceful atmosphere, friendly service. We enjoyed it very much.
Had a good rest. They put in a lot of effort.
Friendly staff, fantastic accommodation, owner and landlady very friendly and happy to strike up a conversation.
We loved being at Tranquillity - just 1.15 hrs away from the humdrum of city life where the serenity of nature can be enjoyed. Particularly impressed with the hospitality of the staff, special mention to Ray, Beth, Samantha, and Mapule. Really appreciate the personal attention provided to make the stay pleasant & comfortable. Hope to come back again with a larger group sometime.
We wanted to relax and that is what we did. But we do like to walk and we were warned of snakes. We don't like snakes so did not walk at all. We just had a great time reading and doing nothing. OK for a once off, but could be boring on repeat visits. Ray and Beth were great to meet and talk to. The staff are wonderful.
The accommodation is clean, tidy and luxurious. However, the staff only needs to check that the unit is fully equipped. The little things that are overlooked (the hand wash soap bottle was empty and glasses were missing). However, it is kindly and quickly rectified. The spa section with the massage is a big plus as are the cooling facilities. Overall the Lodge met all our expectations and we would go back again. The owners are also personally involved, which makes it really enjoyable. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
Beth and her staff are pleasant.
Friendly staff, easy living and a big dog....
I would definitely visit again!
Very cute place with friendly and helpful staff. Staff communicate comfortably and make an effort. Enough facilities to enjoy.
The food there was great.
We had a great stay and were received very hospitably. All that was missing were barbecue items such as a scraper to scrape the coals with, steak knives and a meat bowl. The hot water comes and goes when one takes a shower; it didn't bother me now in the summer, but in the winter it won't work well. Will visit the place again!
The accommodation is beautiful. Wonderful experience, very hard to describe!
Food, accommodation, and service were all superb.
