Very nice, would definitely recommend it. It was a very nice place to stay. Good location, close to everything. Just note that the place doesn't have a stove, so you need to take that into account before planning your meals. Other than that, we had no complaints.

Baie lekker, sal dit definitief aanbeveel. Dit was 'n baie lekker plekkie gewees om in te bly. Goeie ligging, naby aan alles. Let net wel dat die plekkie nie 'n stoof het nie, so jy moet dit in ag neem voordat jy jou etes beplan. Verder as dit het ons geen klagtes gehad nie.

Thank you very much for the review. I just want to clarify: there is a stove but not an oven. Thank you very much. Regards Sonja

Baie dankie vir die resensie. Ek wil net duidelik maak: daar is wel 'n stoof maar nie 'n oond nie. Baie dankie. Groete Sonja

Very nice stay and will definitely go back again. Had a great stay. Place was neat and the daily visits from the animals are a plus. We just had a lot of rain and would like a built-in braai to be considered to provide for if the weather should improve.

Baie lekker gebly en sal beslis weer teruggaan. Het baie lekker gebly. Plekkie was netjies en die daaglikse besoeke van die diere is 'n pluspunt. Ons het net baie reën gehad en sal graag wil hê dat 'n ingeboude braai dalk oorweeg sal word om voorsiening te maak indien die weer sou opsteek.

Cozy and comfortable. Small, but you spend most of the time in nature so it makes up for that. Kids loved the animals that walk past the stoep in the mornings. Would definitely like to visit again.

Well located, close to swimming pool. Unit has a lot of potential but needs attention. Accommodation was okay, but not value for money. Unit was dirty, sofa beds very hard, and kitchen utensils need upgrading. Bath towels too small and the wardrobe was not clean or empty. The photos show a freestanding braai, but there is none. The boma is far from the unit, and there are no lights on the path or at the boma – making it inconvenient in the dark. Wasps are a problem during the day.

Goed geleë, naby swembad. Eenheid het baie potensiaal maar aandag nodig. Verblyf was okay, maar nie waarde vir geld nie. Eenheid was vuil, slaapbanke baie hard, en kombuisbenodigdhede het opgradering nodig. Badhanddoeke te klein en die klerekas was nie skoon of leeg nie. Die foto's wys 'n losstaande braai, maar daar is nie een nie. Die boma is ver van die eenheid af, en daar is geen ligte op die paadjie of by die boma nie – wat dit ongerieflik maak in die donker. Perdebye is 'n probleem deur die dag.

Disappointing. The sleeper couches were so hard that my children could not sleep on them. My husband had to drive to Warmbad to buy mattresses. There were glasses and cutlery that were dirty. I had to follow up about the DStv which was not on when we arrived and it is extremely dirty behind the bed, cobwebs etc. I lost my earring and had to look behind the bed.

Terleurstellend. Die sleeper couches was so hard dat my kinders nie daarop kon slaap nie. My man moes Warmbad toe ry om matrasse te koop. Daar was glase en eetgerei wat vuil was. Ek moes opvolg oor die DStv wat nie aangesit was op ons aankoms nie en dit is uiters vuil agter die bed, spinnerakke ens. Ek het my oorbel verloor en moes agter die bed kyk.

Really enjoyed nature and wildlife watching. Not our favorite accommodation. Porch was not private. Building in unit next door. Had to pick up patio furniture next door. Boma/outdoor barbecue was damaged by elephants. There were only 2 hotplates and no oven. Toilet leaked and bathroom floor was wet!

Het die natuur en wildkyk baie geniet. Nie ons gunsteling akkommodasie. Stoep was nie privaat nie. Bouery in eenheid langsaan. Moes stoepmeubels langsaan gaan haal. Boma/buitebraai was beskadig deur olifante. Daar was net 2 stoofplate en geen oond nie. Toilet het gelek en badkamervloer was nat!

Very unhappy about the accommodation which was very cramped. Unfortunately we did not have a nice stay. We received the wrong information from the agent who said it was a 2 bedroom unit. The photos she sent did not match the place we stayed. We were 2 pensioners who slept on sleeper coaches. Everything was perfect for 4 people.

Baie ongelukkig gewees oor die verblyf wat baie geknop was. Ons het ongelukkig nie lekker gebly nie. Ons het die verkeerde inligting van die agent ontvang wat gesê het dis 'n 2-slaapkamer eenheid. Die foto's wat sy gestuur het, het nie ooreengestem met die plek waar ons gebly het nie. Ons was 2 pensionarisse wat op sleeper coaches geslaap het. Alles was op 'n knop vir 4 persone.

The location was great and we saw an incredible amount of animals. Yes, it was okay. The cleaners were late when we arrived on the day and the place was a bit messy. We had to unpack a closet to make room for our clothes.

Die ligging was great en ons het ongelooflik baie diere gesien. Ja, dit was okay. Die skoonmakers was laat toe ons die dag arriveer en die plek was bietjie deurmekaar. Ons moes 'n kas uitpak om plek te maak vir ons klere.
