Translate to English.
This was the umpteenth time I have stayed at Sunset Creek and the scenery and location are simply idyllic.
In a nutshell, Sunset Creek is ideal for several reasons: 1. You definitely feel like you are in the bush and wilderness 2. You are close enough to Mbombela to spend a day in the city and 3. You are 45 min 's drive from the Malelane Kruger gate if you want to visit the game park, so I can't ask for more.

Sunset Creek is idyllic, romantic and picturesque!
Gary and his team really spared no effort to make comfortable nests in paradise, and make them available to other people. It is so quiet and so beautiful in nature by the water, with plenty of animal and bird life to enjoy. The only "setback" - and it's not even Sunset Creek's fault - is the approximately 6km dirt road to get there. A sedan car is not tall enough to handle the ditches and loose stones. But about the service and accommodation itself, we have no complaints - it was awesome!

Overnight accommodation due to unforeseen circumstances.
Beautiful place with excellent service. Mr Coetzee went out of his way to make sure we reached our destination, after we initially got lost. I would suggest perhaps separating the beds with a partition to provide some privacy. And then, please, also provide some coffee, tea, milk, and sugar for at least 4 guests in the chalets for the first evening and morning. Especially so during the winter, when you would like to await the sunrise over the water with a nice cup of warm comfort, and you were not aware that it would not be available at all upon your arrival. Usually at most other guest houses or lodges it is provided complimentary in the rooms or chalets. But despite the little fox, I really would book there again anytime.

Not impressed. Not worth 3 star.
On our departure from Pretoria on Friday afternoon, we tried to get hold of the owner on two of his contact numbers as provided to us. We couldn't get hold of him for our entire 4 hour drive to Sunset Creek. Upon our arrival late Friday evening, when we got to the entrance gate we had to enter a code that was not shared with us beforehand and since we could not get hold of the owner we were unable to obtain this type of information. Also no bell so that someone can come and help us. No cell phone signal in the area so we then had to turn back on the dirt road at night to look for a cell phone signal to try and get hold of the owner again as these were the only numbers we had and how do you do otherwise? After the help of the neighborhood watch who was patrolling the area, we were able to obtain the gate code and finally got inside the premises, but were received by cleaning staff, no owner insight. Then we just had to settle for Chalet 2 for no reason after I booked Chalet 1. So we are in Chalet 2 and unpacking. It wasn't until the next morning, when I signaled to another place where we had driven out, that I received a message from the owner saying they were in the wildlife park for the weekend. I think it is important to make sure someone is available all the time if you know you are expecting a lodge full of guests at the weekend. Many electrical problems have been noticed in this chalet, power trips when you boil the kettle and bedside lamp switches do not work well. Soap dish in the shower also hangs from one screw. General impression and service was definitely not that of a 3-star game lodge. The place has a lot of potential but needs more attention and involvement.

Sunset Creek Game Lodge is nice and close to Mbombela (Nelspruit) and it still provides the peace and tranquility of wildlife.
Sunset Creek Game Lodge is both value for money and yet luxurious enough for a great family wildlife getaway. The units have everything you need for self-catering and the enjoyment of nature on your doorstep. This is the second time we have used the lodge and I will definitely recommend it to all my friends and family. It's a 40-minute drive to Malelane Kruger Gate if you want to visit the wildlife park. My stay experience has always been pleasant and adequate.

This is my 3rd time using Sunset Creek accommodation and the tranquility and comfortable layout of the cottages is ideal for my family's needs.
Sunset Creek Game Lodge is located nice and close to Nelspruit if the children want to explore the city, but also nice and close to the Kruger Wildlife Park if you plan to visit the wildlife park. The accommodation is hidden between the hills and cliffs which makes it absolutely wonderful for total seclusion from the noise of the daily activities and that is what we need. The layout of the houses is beautiful and intimate for chatting and just sharing nice stories with each other. The view is a bit limited, but still offers the business of nature and bird life. We will use it again and again.

Big disappointment.
When we arrived on Saturday afternoon, the entrance gate was closed (as it should be), but the gate code was not shared with us ahead of time. Cell phone reception is very poor in that area so we had to turn back until we could get reception to call to get the gate code. After the episode we arrived at reception but were met by one of the cleaning staff and requested to follow the gardener who would then take us to the chalet. So done and the person unlocks and disappears. The chalet was involved with a very unpleasant smell, but we open windows and doors and unpack. Sprayed toilet freshener to fight the smell and we just sat outside. With that we also wanted to turn on the TV, but it didn't work. Call reception again and am told that one of the men will be sent as soon as they are back. In the meantime we inspect the sleeping place and find that the sheets are not clean and have dirty spots on them, unfortunately this was the last straw. We pack up, try to hand in the key again, but as before, no one is available and the key is given to the gardener. The places look good overall and the location of the place is not bad. I can see that one can rest well here, but the service leaves much to be desired. If our needs were addressed and if the chalet's smell and linen were better, we would definitely have stayed, but we expect good service.

Good day Basti. Our apologies that you had such an unfair reception. Just for the record, communication was done with your wife or yourself and we were asked were you guys could do 4X4 trail driving and I had offered to take you out onto our property. Your response was that it would be great to do this and that you also found other routes to travel on with your 4x4. The gate code was given to whoever I spoke to as I do this with all my clients. As explained to yourself, you drove right past where we all were working. I myself went down to the chalet to meet up with you and you had already left without speaking to myself. I reset the TV and was awaiting your return but to no avail. Also tried calling you but also to no avail. The "smell" you experienced was the grass smell from the thatch roof after we had rain for a few days. To us that live in thatch houses, it is a familiar smell. Our bedding is always clean and this is a fact as my wife and I am very serious about cleanliness. As stated in my discussion with you, you are welcome to come and inspect the other chalets and choose the one you are satisfied with. You will also have the deposit you paid kept for that booking. Once again I apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Regards, Gary

What a nice getaway! Was so quiet and peaceful, felt chance again for many after our week at Sunset. Will go back for sure! Gary was very helpful and was very hospitable! The facilities were very clean and Gary and his team thought of everything in the chalets! Was a bit worried about there being no reception, but the WiFi made up for sure and it was nice not to be bothered! 10 out of 10!

This was my second visit to Sunset Creek Game Lodge, and will go again and again. It's a place where you can properly "unplug". Without cell phone reception and internet, one really has the opportunity to relax and listen to the sounds of nature, rather than social media or city bustle. The staff are friendly and welcoming, without depriving you of your privacy. Definitely one of my favorite getaway spots.

Great getaway, so peaceful.
We were very welcome and received kindly, the chalet was clean and tidy, it was so nice and peaceful and blissful and had a lot of privacy. I most enjoyed the beautiful large wooden deck that is part of the chalet and overlooks the pond and forest. And every afternoon I stretched myself out on the comfortable couch to read or just listen to all the sounds of nature and look out over the pond. Our chalet was cleaned every day. And in the evening, we city dwellers really amazed us with the night sky with its multitude of shining stars. I could easily hide away from the hustle and bustle of the city for another week.

Friendly reception and the place is tidy. The term Game Lodge I think is just not correct. No animals seen or any indication that there are game drives or roads that can be driven to see wildlife. Maybe we should have just asked.

We were greeted by the dogs on our arrival. Then Gary said hi, very friendly. We were then accompanied to our chalet by Nomsa - she was also very helpful and friendly. The drought is unfortunate but obviously the owners can't do anything about it. River was dry. Despite the drought we had a nice rest. Very good value for money and food for the soul. Was very difficult to leave since my son became very attached to the pets that spent on night with us.

The accommodation was excellent.
Upon arrival we were welcomed by Nomsa. She informed us that the owner, Gary Coetsee, apologises about the TV that isn't working, and that he didn't have time to replace it with the new TV at reception. I offered to replace it myself, and we watched cricket and the rugby match between SA and Argentina. We were told that the bracket of the TV and wall should be customised (thus, no TV and no discount on outstanding R750). The excuse was that the owner urgently needed to go to Hazyview. Just wondering how long the owner knew about the faulty TV. No good impression of the owner, but the household staff was excellent. Thank you.

Ek wil graag om verskoning vra vir die ongerief wat julle moes deurmaak met die dat julle nie die rugby kon kyk nie. Die feit was dat dit toe nie die TV was wat foutief was nie maar wel die dekodeerder. My gaste is ook altyd welkom om by die hoof Lodge, by die groot skerm te gaan sit en die wedstryd te kyk. Weereens jammer dat ons of liewers ek, jou tevrede kon stel nie. Sou jy ooit dalk weer in die omtrek is om een nag te slap, herinner my daarvan en jy kan verniet bly.

They build and break, so the view was not very nice. Safety is definitely an issue. Workers who are fixing the dam came sneaking around our chalet on Saturday evening. Would definitely label it as a security risk. Accommodation itself was great, very clean, tidy and modern. Well located. Will definitely go again once the dam and building operations are finished and better security measures are put in place.
