Amazing! Very pleasant! Actually, it's not easy to explain it exactly the way it was. The place is easy to access from GP, it is very tranquil, super clean, and the staff is more than excellent in handling their customers. The food was delicious, and the presentation, I can only say kudos to the Chef, a special compliment to Thabo, he is simply amazing! From the time we arrived to the time we left, he was just excellent in everything he did for us. We will definitely be back here.

It was awesome and we really enjoyed Sondele. We enjoy staying at the Country House. Have been there before and will visit them again in the future. Friendly and professional staff. Their room is very neat and clean. Breakfast is delicious.

Dit was awesome en ons geniet Sondele baie. Ons geniet dit om by die Country House te bly. Was al voorheen daar en sal hulle in die toekoms weer besoek. Vriendelike en professionele staff. Hulle kamer is baie netjies en skoon. Ontbyt is heerlik.

A peaceful stay in a tranquil garden setting. A peaceful stay in a tranquil garden setting, situated in a good location which was just far enough from the bustle of the main resort but still close enough to walk. The butler was always quick to respond and courteous; he went the extra mile to ensure that our game drive was special. The food was good, but still quite expensive for what was offered. We were confused about not being able to get a complete and exact bill upon checkout - we had to view individual till slips and an overall statement for the room which included the charges for other guests in the week preceding and some handwritten additions. We found this to be strange and unprofessional.

The weekend was booked for me and my wife's 12th wedding anniversary, which we were able to celebrate for the first time in 11 years. I asked that they put flowers, sparkling wine and chocolates in the room for me on arrival, which they gave me a quote for when I booked. On arrival there was not a welcome drink as stated. Also no sparkling wine, flowers or chocolate as I asked. I asked because I wanted to make it special for my wife, but there was nothing. They didn't ask me until later when I wanted the stuff in the room, and also said the flowers at Pick n Pay weren't pretty, so they didn't get flowers. First of all, I don't want Pick n Pay flowers. Second, I would pay for everything I asked for. They did make the room beautiful on Saturday night with only sparkling wine and leaves from the garden. I then asked that they would also provide a bottle of sparkling wine with the breakfast for Sunday morning, which they did not do either. We also ordered cocktails for which we waited over 45 minutes. When the cocktails finally came, they were made with flat soda water. I think it's pathetic of them as it cost R4750.00 for the 2 nights and then this is the service we get. Anything I wanted extra I would have paid extra for without any problem. I will never use them again. Something that was supposed to be special completely screwed them up. What I do have to say is thank you to the chef. The food was very nice.

Die naweek was geboek vir my en my vrou se 12de huweliksherdenking wat ons kon vier vir die eerste keer in 11 jaar. Ek het gevra dat hulle vir my blomme, vonkelwyn en sjokolade in die kamer sal sit met aankoms, waarop hulle my 'n kwotasie gegee het toe ek bespreek het. Met die aankoms was daar nie 'n verwelkomingsdrankie soos wat gesê was nie. Ook geen vonkelwyn, blomme of sjokolade soos ek gevra het nie. Ek het dit gevra omdat ek dit spesiaal wou maak vir my vrou, maar daar was niks. Hulle het my eers later gevra wanneer ek die goed in die kamer wil hê, en het ook gesê die blomme by Pick n Pay is nie mooi nie, so hulle het nie blomme gekry nie. Eerstens wil ek nie Pick n Pay blomme hê nie. Tweedens sou ek betaal vir alles waarvoor ek gevra het. Hulle het toe wel die kamer mooi gemaak Saterdagaand met slegs vonkelwyn en blare wat uit die tuin kom. Ek het toe gevra dat hulle ook 'n bottel vonkelwyn saam met die ontbyt sal gee vir Sondagoggend, wat hulle ook nie gedoen het nie. Ons het ook cocktails bestel waarvoor ons meer as 45 minute gewag het. Toe die cocktails uiteindelik kom, was dit gemaak met plat soda water. Ek dink dit is pateties van hulle, aangesien dit R4750.00 gekos het vir die 2 nagte en dan is dit die diens wat ons kry. Alles wat ek ekstra wou gehad het, sou ek ekstra vir betaal het sonder enige probleem. Ek sal hulle nooit weer gebruik nie. Iets wat spesiaal moes wees, het hulle heeltemal verknal. Wat ek wel moet sê, is dankie aan die sjef. Die kos was baie lekker gewees.

Very quiet environment and private, so no noise. Excellent service from, among others, David, Thabang and Knowledge. Food was also of the above quality. Rooms very neat and clean. Garden also very neat and private swimming pool only for people staying at Country House.

Baie rustige omgewing en privaat, dus geen geraas. Uitstekende diens van onder andere, David, Thabang en Knowledge. Kos was ook ook van bostaande gehalte. Kamers baie netjies en skoon. Tuin ook baie netjies en privaat swembad net vir mense wat tuis gaan by Country House.

The team that looks after you is awesome! Uan, Jurie and Renier treated us like royalty. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was done with a big smile! It was an incredible weekend with the young, but professional team!

Die span wat na jou kyk is awesome verby! Uan, Jurie en Renier het ons soos royalty hanteer. Niks was te veel moeite nie en alles was gedoen met 'n breë smile! Dit was 'n ongelooflike naweek saam met die jong, maar professionele span!

Was acceptable. Internet amount and quote we got differed and was much more expensive than they advertised the rooms! December maybe? We did inform the website about it! There wasn't a small fridge in room for our cold stuff which we missed! Directions to Country House were very bad and we had to drive back to entrance to make sure!

Was aanvaarbaar. Internet bedrag en kwotasie wat ons gekry het het verskil en was baie duurder as wat hul die kamers geadverteer het! Desember dalk? Ons het die webtuiste wel ingelig daaroor! Daar was nie 'n yskassie in kamer vir ons koue goed nie wat ons gemis het! Aanwysings na Country House was baie sleg en ons moes terugry na ingang om seker te maak!
