66 guests' feedbackEveryone slept really well and everything we needed was there. Brilliant stay! Would definitely recommend!
Although not requested, a camping cot was provided for the baby. Best equipped kitchen. Provision made for load shedding. Lovely outside lapa with bar area and fridge. Will definitely go back again.
Highly recommend Thekwane House for large groups. We were a family of varying ages from 2 years to 90 years and it was suitable for everyone. Clean and exceptionally well kitted out. The pool and Jacuzzi were also spotless. Fani is a fantastic host and Wilamina was on call to assist us when needed, she is incredibly helpful and friendly. We had a fantastic stay there.
We saw many animals, literally walking around the family house. It is peaceful and no one bothers you. There is a maid who came to clean for us every day and made sure anything we were looking for was sorted with just a phone call away. We will definitely come here again with all our friends.
Had a wonderful visit and stay, ordinary, unadorned farmhouse with everything you need for a large group. Kitchen nicely equipped with dishwasher. Roof fans help with heat and mosquitoes. Pool was clean. Terribly dry in the area so garden suffered, but I believe as soon as it rains it will also look beautiful.
We were 13 people all together and there was more than enough space for us all. The lapa area is a winner, so outdoor fellowship around meals was perfect.
The structure is beautiful, but the furnishing needs an upgrade. The pool was green. All furniture inside the house and by the pool is old and worn out. The bedroom has old carpets. For a self-catering establishment, the little kitchenette was cluttered with no food preparation space. On its own, it's not worth the price. But when you consider the location, the bush and the animals make up for the price.
Will definitely go there again.
Fannie is the best. Had a great time, would definitely go back and Sarah is so sweet and helped with everything, enjoyed my stay there.
It was the best and I really enjoyed my stay.
Everything needed was there. Friendly service from cleaners and caretaker. We were able to relax, visit and rest. Thanks for a wonderful weekend.
It was wonderful to be able to see the game drinking through the fence at the small water hole. The staff are very friendly and helpful and made us feel right at home. Many thanks to Fanie and Bodwell, we will definitely be stopping by again.
We had a great time and our reception and stay at Thekwane Lodge was everything we expected. All that bothered me a little was the traffic on the main road that runs not too far past it. We can recommend Thekwane to anyone looking for a bushveld experience. The lodge is centrally located and the entire Dinokeng park is easily accessible.
The music at neighboring lodges and neighboring generator was disturbing at night. DStv is advertised but only Openview is available.
Please fix the chimney of the communal kitchen. Was very bad as all smoke went into the kitchen. Unfortunately, we had guests playing loud music next to our place. When we asked the groundskeeper to tell them to stop it did not happen. We had to message the owner. When the generator is on we can't hear any wildlife sounds.
Everything was how we expected, we were very happy there.
We had a very nice stay. Fanie is very helpful and so is Bodwell. Beautiful farm house with everything you need. Quiet, surrounded by wildlife that we just watched from the lapa. The Thekwane house is extremely spacious with more than enough sleeping space and bathrooms
Fanie is an excellent host. Wim an experienced game drive person with a lot of knowledge of nature and Sarah and Bothwell helpful and friendly staff. Will definitely go back again.
It was such a nice weekend - will definitely come again.
We had an awesome weekend, even the workers were very handy and very helpful.
Outside, the site is very neglected. The shower facilities in the bath are not good for people over 70 years old, my mother who is 90 years old could not use them. There are cobwebs behind the headboards of the beds.
The rondavel had been neat.
Oom Fanie and Bothwel's friendliness and hospitality make you feel at home immediately. We had a great time, the house is nice and private and spacious and well equipped! Can't wait for our next visit! Thanks for everything!
Thekwane was just the place we needed to be peaceful and relax.
Definitely going to visit Dinokeng again in the future.
Although we didn't see the Big 5, we had a great time. The Lodge's staff are also very helpful and friendly. Pool also a big plus.
Very good value for money.
Our stay was lovely. I was glad you had a generator. We did struggle with one TV and had no help. Sailing on patio is broken. We only think of snakes in summer.
Had a good time. The game guide went to great lengths to ensure we saw wildlife. Unfortunately, a group of guests did not respect our other guests and made noise until late at night.
Only night sounds is that of passing vehicles in the main road and the barking of dogs.
If a little more attention was paid to the cleanliness and service, then this could be a much better place.
Very nice and peaceful. Friendly people.
The place is ideal if you want to escape the everyday noise and find some tranquillity and recharge yourself.
Thank you!
Was a little disappointed with the place to stay, needs some renovation. Otherwise nice stay. Feeling safe.
Friendly reception by Fanie. If the entrance and first impressions of his place improve aesthetically, he will do better. However, it remains very good value for money!
We were 2 families visiting with children and we were impressed with the accommodation. You get your value for money. It is a 3 star lodge with 5 star service. On arrival Annie welcomed us and she was just amazing. Nothing was too much for her and we really appreciated the pap she cooked for the kids. Our game drive with Vim was very good. We didn't see any of the big 5 but managed to see jackal, giraffe, and wildebeest.
See star rating.
Very well and friendly received. The house meets all the requirements for a nice stay. May I just say that the area around the house leaves much to the imagination. The little building by the swimming pool is a dumping ground, no grass, etc. The house's beautiful inside does not match the outside or the "garden".
Neat accommodation with everything you need and friendly service. Will definitely book there again.
Fanie and Sarah went out of their way to make it pleasant and enjoyable for us!
Thanks to Sara, she knows her story with cooking!
Many thanks to Fanie and kind Anna. Our weekend was amazing, wish we could have stayed longer! I will book with you again soon.
It's so close to a big city, and the rates are much better than the Kruger National Park, and then you don't even have to drive that far, so you save on travel costs too, it was absolutely fantastic. It was an awesome weekend.
Many thanks to Fanie and Sara their servant. It was fantastic. Nothing can be exchanged for the tranquility, cleanliness and friendly service. We will definitely come back again.
The woodland atmosphere is always good for one's soul. Will definitely go again.
Was very happy with everything. Would definitely visit there again.
A nice peaceful place! It's nothing fancy, but very neat. Good value for money. Well located in Dinokeng. Safe.
Quiet, clean and friendly. A home away from home - we will be back. Thank you!
Calm and relaxing place to break away from a busy town. Good service, very private environment. Small and clean. Really enjoy our stay and will definitely come with family and friends again.
We will be back thank you for a great stay! Well serviced by friendly staff, very quiet!
This is the perfect getaway from home - its close to home - quiet - very clean and on the ball - will recommend to any one who would like to get away from everyday rush for a weekend.
We had a very wonderful stay. Peace of mind and appreciate the welcoming and courtesy we received at the lodge. It will be appreciated if the area can be extended and built upon to afford accommodation for more people. Thanks to Sara and Fanie. Keep it up.
We urgently needed a rest weekend. The pace in the city drains you. We got rest and more at Thekwena. We were welcomed like family. The lodge is super clean. Although it is a self-catering unit, we were spoiled by Anna. She made the BEST porridge and sauce ever for our barbecue. We had a wonderful rest. On the game drive we saw elephants and numerous species of buck. We recharged our batteries and were ready for the city again. We can highly recommend the lodge.
Thank you Thekwane for a relaxing and private experience. All our expectations were met. I would definitely recommend this lodge to any couple looking to get away for a weekend - for some privacy and relaxation. ð???
Peaceful and relaxing stay if you really don't want to do anything for 2/3 days.
Stay was short we did not have time for a game drive, but the place was comfortable and quiet. Thanks Mr Smit and Sara.
Wonderful value for money and service.
We had a wonderful, relaxing time at Thekwane lodge. The rooms are very spacious and clean. Sarah was very hospitable and friendly. We will definitely return and we have already recommended the lodge to friends and family.
Had a fine stay, however I would recommend improved access via road and signage.
If you are a nature lover, Thekwane Lodge is the perfect venue for you!!!
It was a worthy time out. If one wants to be in touch with nature, Thekwane is a place to go and have fun. Whether with a partner, family, parents or children, its worth it.
We had a wonderful time here. The staff are really friendly and very helpful!!
We did have a excellent stay. Sara was very helpful. Thank you!
We enjoyed our stay, it was peaceful and relaxing. The staff is very friendly and helpful, will visit again.
If u want to get away from the busy city life & have fun as well, then this is the place to be!
