Family weekend with small kids. Stay was amazing. Thumbs up for the lodge, small things like a complimentary bottle of wine, braai wood and ice were such a plus point.

Hornbill provided a peaceful and restful holiday for all of us. Access to the Lodge on arrival was trouble-free and we were impressed with the interior fittings. The surrounding gardens were well kept and enjoyed by us all, especially our two young grandchildren on their first visit to the bushveld. We were totally isolated and appreciated the peace and quiet. A daily game drive provided by the Lodge was a wonderful experience and our driver, Gift, was punctual, friendly, a very good driver and found an impressive list of game. The cleaner was friendly and polite and kept the Lodge in excellent order.

Fantastic, will definitely go again. Very comfortable with good facilities, everything you need. Place was neat and clean. We were 6 adults with 3 children.

Fantasties, sal defnitief weer gaan. Baie gemaklik met goeie geriewe, alles wat 'n mens nodig het. Plek was netjies en skoon. Ons was 6 volwasse met 3 kinders.

Outstanding! Excellent value for money. Received very good customer service. Had an unexpected complimentary game drive and the guide was great. Probably the best ever.

Uitstekend! Uitstekende waarde vir geld. Baie goeie klientediens ontvang. Onverwagse komplimentêre wildsrit gery en die gids was puik. Seker die beste ooit.

Quiet, peaceful, safe, beautiful. No complaints or problems, everything was right and in place. People were friendly and helpful, everything was clean and in order, including the swimming pool. Only load shedding could become a problem in the future.

Rustig, stil, vreedsaam, veilig, mooi. Geen klagtes of probleme, alles was reg en op sy plek. Mense was vriendelik en hulpvaardig, alles was skoon en reg, insluitend die swembad. Net loadshedding kan 'n probleem word in die toekoms.

Great family holiday. We had a fantastic family break at Hornbill. The game drives with Gift were great, and Anna made sure the house was well looked after while we were away. The cherry on the top was the elephant visiting the house one evening while we were braaiing. Having quick access to the caravan park with its shop, swimming pools, and restaurant was also a treat. We will be back.

We felt wonderfully rested and pampered. Can't wait for the next time. This was our fifth visit to Mabalingwe and the stay and overall experience with the people was incomparable. The cleanliness of the Lodge greets you at the gate before you drive in. The atmosphere created as you enter the house makes you feel as if the mountain has just fallen off your shoulders with an indescribable tranquility that comes over you. The effort and preparation was clearly visible, as was every subsequent day. The staff was friendly, punctual and very competent. The game drives were the highlight! In 3 game drives we saw, among other things, the elephants each time (a first for us), on a single drive we counted 14 different species of animals! Each drive certainly did not disappoint. The knowledge of the guides was remarkable.

Ons het heerlik gerus en bederf gevoel. Kan nie wag vir die volgende keer. Dit was ons vyfde besoek aan Mabalingwe en die verblyf en oorhoofse ervaring saam die mense was onvergelykbaar. Die netheid van die Lodge groet jou al by die hek voordat jy inry. Die atmosfeer wat geskep word soos jy die huis betree, laat jou voel of die berg op jou skouers net daar afval met 'n onbeskryflike rustigheid wat oor jou kom. Die moeite en voorbereiding was duidelik sigbaar, so ook elke opvolgende dag. Die personeel was vriendelik, stiptelik en baie bevoeg. Die wildsritte was die hoogtepunt! In 3 wildsritte sien ons onder andere elke keer die olifante (vir ons die eerste), op 'n enkele rit tel ons 14 verskillende diersoorte! Elke rit het vir seker nie teleurgestel nie. Die kennis van die gidse was merkwaardig.
