Our chalet was clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and helpful. Very friendly. The first night it was quiet and peaceful and we could hear noises all night, but the second night there was a group making noise all night. Such a shame!

Value for money with excellent service. Made to feel very welcome from the gate to the camp. Rooms are very well located and spacious. It's neat and I would recommend it.

It was a wonderful experience. Upon arrival we were welcomed. And the guide was there to ask what time we wanted to go on the game drive. The next morning we went for a walk with the cheetah. It was a great experience and I would definitely recommend it.

No comment, I prefer to remain silent. Upon arrival we were welcomed by a very cute security guard. He asked us where we checked in. I then showed him my booking indicating Cheetah. He used his 2-way radio to let someone know we were on our way. The security guard is 7 m from our accommodation and explained us well. When we arrived at the camp we were awaited by a domestic helper (staff). Because I'm used to it like at other places, I asked where the reception is so we can hear what happens for what and what time it happens. We got there at 11h45 so they must have known our time. I was approached by the maid and they asked me where we were staying and I showed them my booking which again showed Cheetah. I then went up the stairs to the wooden house with my 2 parents who are over 70 years old. It rained terribly over the weekend and they are struggling up there. I was very disappointed because I know with the website's photos it is always the same as we booked. We were then in the log house with a leaking roof and a very open house with ventilation with wire porch and doors and very cold. We walked through the place and the place did not look at all like what we had booked. It was full of mouse droppings on the beds and bathrooms and the curtains dirty and the shower heads dirty and sticky. I took the 2 old people to town to buy warm clothes. We then returned at 18h00 after eating something and exploring the town. We all took an early hot shower and my parents went to bed after a long day's drive from the East Rand to Hoedspruit. Around 20h00 I was outside by my car to make sure everything was closed when a light fell on me where one of the game wardens approached me. He then told me why we are in Cheetah and why we are not booked into the new place. My reply to him was I booked according to the photos and like any other holiday spot you can't just walk in and say I'm staying true. I also told him that the photos are not the same as on the website's home page. He told me we are welcome to move now 20h00 in the evening and I told him my parents are in bed and it is raining. How does a guy pull 2 pensioners in the rain and on those slippery stairs. He also informed me about that morning's walking route, so I told him my parents have trouble walking, we'll just go into the Wildlife Park and it's our choice what we want to do. So no I did not participate in his activities nor did the afternoon drive. Good thing too, because my father would have told everyone and what his feelings and disappointing experience were about the place.

Geen kommentaar, ek bly liewer stil. By die aankoms is ons deur 'n baie oulike sekuriteitswag verwelkom. Hy het ons gevra waar is ons ingeboek. Ek het toe vir hom my booking gewys wat Cheetah aandui. Hy het sy 2-rigtingradio gebruik om iemand te lat weet ons is op pad. Die sekuriteitswag is 7 m van ons verblyf af en het ons mooi verduidelik. Toe ons by die kamp aankom was ons ingewag met 'n huishulp (staff). Omdat ek gewoond is soos by ander plekke het ek gevra waar is die ontvangs sodat ons kan hoor wat gaan vir wat en hoe laat gebeur als. Ons het 11h45 daar aangekom so hulle moes geweet het ons klok in. Ek was genader deur die huishulp en hulle het my gevra waar bly ons en ek het hulle my bespreking gewys wat weereens Cheetah wys. Ek is toe met my 2 ouers wat bo 70 jaar oud is met die trappe op na die houthuis. Dit het vreeslik oor die naweek gereën en sukkel-sukkel is hulle daar bo. Ek was baie teleurgesteld omdat ek weet met webtuiste se foto's is dit nog altyd dieselfde as wat ons bespreek het. Ons is toe in die houthuis met 'n dak wat lek en 'n huis wat baie oop is met ventilasie met draadstoep en deure en baie koud. Ons het deur die plek gestap en die plek het glad nie gelyk soos wat ons bespreek het nie. Dit was vol muismis op die beddens en badkamers en die gordyne vuil en stortmaaitjies vuil en taai. Ek het die 2 ou mense dorp toe gevat om warm klere te gaan koop. Ons is toe by 18h00 terug nadat ons iets gaan eet het en die dorp gaan verken het. Ons almal het vroeg 'n warm stort gevat en my ouers is bed toe na 'n lang dag se ry van die Oos Rand na Hoedspruit. Omstreeks 20h00 was ek buite by my kar om seker te maak als is gesluit toe 'n lig op my val waar een van die wildbewaarders my genader het. Hy sê toe vir my hoekom is ons in Cheetah en hoekom is ons nie in die nuwe plekkie ingeboek nie. My antwoord aan hom was ek het geboek volgens die foto's en soos by enige ander vakansieplekke kan jy nie net instap en sê ek bly waar nie. Ek het ook vir hom gesê die fotos is nie dieselfde as op webtuiste se tuisblad nie. Hy het vir my gesê ons is welkom om nou oor te trek 20h00 in die aand en ek het vir hom gesê my ouers is in die bed en dit reën. Hoe trek 'n ou 2 pensioners in die reën en op daai gladde trappe. Hy het my ook ingelig oor toe oggend staproete toe sê ek vir hom my ouers sukkel om te loop ons sal maar ingaan Wildtuin toe en dit mos ons keuse wat ons wil doen. So nee ek het nie in sy aktiwiteite deelgeneem nie en ook nie die middagrit gedoen nie. Ook maar goed, want my pa sou almal vertel het en wat sy gevoelings en teleurstellende ervaring was oor die plek.

We were very sorry about this family's experience. We have replied and heard his query. I'm not sure what this latest remark is about as the photos for the 1 cottage that were incorect, they have been updated. They are the right photos now.
