Nice lodge, just needs to be maintained.

Lodge is in a beautiful setting. Unfortunately, the pictures didn't match the tent we were in but we still enjoyed it. Some upgrades on shower taps, aircon and cutlery/crockery are recommended. We still had a great stay.

Accommodation excellent, tent and surrounds very well equipped.

WiFi is poor and non-existent as well as the prepared food is very disappointing, other than that, to self-cater and the surroundings we will def be back. The massages and staff were very friendly but need to be more on-site but super helpful.

Amazing.

Very nice place. So peaceful, relaxing and very clean. The staff so friendly and very helpful with whatever you need. I will also like to send a shout out to Ruan: so kind and he treats guests very well and is patient. We enjoyed the target shooting with him and also the game drive. To the lady at the spa (Mandisa) you did a great job. And lastly, but not least to the manager, Dalene: since day 1 she was good, making sure that our stay at the lodge was massive and our travel as well. Very kind woman. I definitely recommend it to anyone, especially couples who just want to unwind and relax at a private place with beautiful nature. This is the place to be.

My verwagtinge is oortref!

Met ons aankoms is ons hartlik verwelkom met drankies deur Oneè. Dit is mooi groen die tyd van die jaar, alles was netjies en georganiseer. Die swembad se water was heerlike lou en kon ons heeldag in die water spandeer. Ongelooflike rustige wegbreek vir die wat net wil kom van die besige gejaag van die stad. Hulle het ons verwagtinge oortref met 'n romantiese ete wat ons bespreek het. Hulle het soveel moeite gedoen om dit spesiaal te maak en die kos was heerlik. Voor- tot nagereg was spesiaal vir ons gemaak met kerse en 'n kaggelvuur om die atmosfeer te skep. Die spa behandelings en wildsritte word ook aanbeveel. Dankie Bateleur Lodge vir 'n onvergeetlike wegbreek.

My expectations were exceeded!

On our arrival we were warmly welcomed with drinks by Oneè. It's pretty green this time of year, everything was neat and organized. The pool's water was deliciously lukewarm and we could spend the whole day in the water. Amazing peaceful getaway for those who just want to get away from the busy hustle and bustle of the city. They exceeded our expectations with a romantic meal we had booked. They put so much effort into making it special and the food was delicious. Appetizer to dessert was specially made for us with candles and a log fire to create the atmosphere. The spa treatments and game drives are also recommended. Thank you Bateleur Lodge for an unforgettable break.

Lekker naweek wegbreek, maar kort 'n verbetering.

Baie lekker bestemming vir die familie gewees maar wel n paar punte om uit te wys. Het 'n verwelkomingsdrankie en warm lappie verwag soos op die webblad adverteer. Warm water vir 3 dae nie beskikbaar en 5 maande baba moet by ander eenheid gebad word en in koue lug uitgevat om terug te keer na tent, word eers op laaste dag herstel. Warm borrelbad was buite werking toe ons vra, maar wel in werking gestel toe buitelanders opdaag. Kroeg was sonder voorraad. Kamp was nie deeglik skoongemaak na elke aand. Steurende musiek was 24/7 vanaf aangrensende plaas gespeel en het glad nie uitgerus in die nag. Het geen wild gesien om kamp en ons wou graag net so draai stap in padjies toe daar vir ons gesê was ons mag nie ons gaan die wild steur en moet saam met n wildsbewaarder gaan stap wat ons R195 p/p gaan kos. Baie mooi kamp, maar kort beter diens aan plaaslike kliënte en nie net fokus op buitelanders. Elektroniese instandhouding is in swak kondisie en kort verbetering die kampe het werklik baie potensiaal.

Nice weekend getaway, but needs an improvement.

It was a very nice destination for the family, but there are a few points to point out. Expected a welcome drink and warm cloth as advertised on the website. Hot water not available for 3 days and 5 month baby has to be bathed at another unit and taken out in cold air to return to tent, is only restored on the last day. Hot tub was out of order when we asked, but activated when foreigners arrived. Bar was out of stock. Camp was not thoroughly cleaned after each night. Disturbing music was playing 24/7 from the adjacent farm and never rested at night. Didn't see any wildlife around the camp and we wanted to just turn around and walk in paths when we were told we weren't allowed to disturb the wildlife and had to go for a walk with a game warden which would cost us R195 p/p. Very nice camp, but lacks better service to local customers and not only focusing on foreigners. Electronic maintenance is in poor condition and needs improvement the camps really have a lot of potential.

Pragtige plek, maar swak diens.

Pragtige, mooi plekkie. Tenthuise is goed uitgelê en ingerig, maar baie teleurstellings. 'n Maand voor die tyd geskakel om wildritte te bespreek. Hulle het gesê jy bespreek wanneer jy daar aankom. Daar aangekom en wou bespreek, is alle wildritte vol. Bateleur dui aan dat hul spa-geriewe het. Na die teleurstelling dat ons nie op wildritte kan gaan nie, het ons gevra of ons die spa kan gebruik. Daar word toe vir ons gesê dat die verskaffer laat is met die spa-produkte, dus sal ons nie die spa kan gebruik nie. Met die dag van ons aankoms, is daar vriendelik vir ons gesê om die swembadgeriewe te gebruik voor 17:00, want hulle het 'n familiebraai vanaf 17:00. Dus, nie volle toegang tot sogenaamde geriewe vir 'n betalende gas nie. Kommunikasie en dienslewering was uiters swak. Ons moes elke keer self uitvra oor aktiwiteite aangebied, hoe laat en wanneer. En dan het die personeel in elk geval weer verskuiwings gemaak met tye ens. soos dit hulle gepas het. Middagetes en aandetes word nie aangebied soos per hul spyskaart/reëls nie. Toe ons gevra het vir middagete, was daar gesê dat hul nie net vir 2 mense maak nie. Ons het gelukkig vooraf betaal vir ontbyt so hulle was verplig om dit te maak. Na aanleiding van alle bogenoemede, het ons 'n dag vroeër uitgeklok uit Bateleur. Dus nog geld verloor, maar kon nie meer die dienslewering uitstaan nie. Ons het die eienaar probeer skakel, 3 stemboodskappe gelos, en 'n sms gestuur om ons meegevoel te deel. Personeel het met ons aankoms gesê dat die eienaars nie daar is nie. Ons wag steeds op hede vir enige terugvoer van die eienaars af. Ter opsomming, dis 'n pragtige plek, maar als kom neer op dienslewering. 'n Gas gaan altyd terug na 'n plek wat goeie dienslewering gebied het en waar personeel nie huiwer om die ekstra myl te loop nie.

Beautiful place, but poor service.

Beautiful, beautiful place. Tent houses are well laid out and furnished, but many disappointments. Called a month in advance to book game drives. They said you book when you get there. Arrived there and wanted to book, all game drives are full. Bateleur indicates that they have spa facilities. After the disappointment of not being able to go on game drives, we asked if we could use the spa. We were then told that the supplier was late with the spa products so we would not be able to use the spa. On the day of our arrival, we were kindly told to use the pool facilities before 17:00 as they have a family barbecue from 17:00. So, not full access to so called amenities for a paying guest. Communication and service delivery was extremely poor. Every time we had to ask ourselves about activities offered, what time and when. And then in any case the staff made shifts again with times etc. as it suited them. Lunches and dinners are not offered as per their menu/rules. When we asked for lunch, we were told that they don't make just for 2 people. Luckily we pre-paid for breakfast so they were obliged to make it. Following all the above, we checked out of Bateleur a day earlier. So still lost money, but could no longer stand the service delivery. We tried calling the owner, left 3 voicemails, and sent a text to share our condolences. Staff said upon our arrival that the owners were not there. We are currently still awaiting any feedback from the owners. In summary, it's a beautiful place, but it all comes down to service delivery. A guest always goes back to a place that has provided good service and where staff do not hesitate to go the extra mile.

Baie rustige en stil verblyf in die bosveld.

Ons het 4 nagte in een van die selfsorgtente gebly. Air-con is 'n móét in die somer en was baie effektief teen die hitte. Verblyf is baie privaat en ver genoeg van die bure af. Swembaddens en lodge word goed versorg en al die luukshede is beskikbaar wat mens nodig het.

Very peaceful and quiet accommodation in the bushveld.

We stayed 4 nights in one of the self-catering tents. Air-con is a must in the summer and was very effective against the heat. Accommodation is very private and far enough from the neighbours. Pools and lodge are well maintained and all the luxuries one needs are available.

Heerlike wegbreekgeleentheid in die natuur.

Ons het heerlik gekuier by Bateleurs. Die hele span (Monique, Petro, Bianca, Wynand en Pieter en die ander agter die skerms) het sommer onmiddelik soos familie gevoel en ons laat tuis voel. Kos was heerlik en ons het dit geniet om na die diere te sit en kyk toe dit voertyd raak. Behalwe vir die veraf gedoef-doef van musiek (seker een van die nabye plakkerskampe of 'n taxi of 'n ding), was dit absoluut salig en rustig. In geheel sal ons dit beslis aanbeveel en met graagte weer teruggaan. Baie dankie julle!

A wonderful getaway opportunity in nature.

We had a great time at Bateleurs. The whole team (Monique, Petro, Bianca, Wynand and Pieter and the others behind the scenes) immediately felt like family and made us feel at home. Food was delicious and we enjoyed sitting and watching the animals when it was feeding time. Except for the distant thud-thud of music (probably one of the nearby squatter camps or a taxi or something), it was absolutely blissful and peaceful. Overall we would definitely recommend it and would happily go back again. Thank you very much!

Rustige wegbreek.

Bietjie deurmekaar op die eerste dag net die eenheid nie ingerig vir selfsorg nie, het die volgende dag geskuif na 'n ander eenheid. Was 'n heerlike wegbreek, die lugversorger is 'n moet in die Bosveld-somer.

Peaceful getaway.

A bit confused on the first day only the unit was not set up for self catering, moved to another unit the next day. Was a lovely break, the air conditioner is a must in the Bushveld summer.

Pragtige bosveld verblyf.

Alles was skoon en netjies en die omgewing is pragtig. Ek voel wel dat hulle eerder nie ander gaste moet onthaal terwyl daar jagters is nie, aangesien die jagters eerste prioriteit is. Geen ander gaste kan dus gaan stap of rond ry op die plaas agv die jagters, wat beteken jy kan net in die kamp sit.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Beautiful woodland accommodation.

Everything was clean and tidy and the surroundings are beautiful. I do feel that they should rather not entertain other guests while there are hunters as the hunters are first priority. No other guests can go for a walk or drive around the farm because of the hunters, which means you can only sit in the camp.

Rustig na aan die natuur, voertyd van die diere is 'n belewenis.

Van ontvangs tot uitboek was professioneel en enige navrae was met gemak beantwoord. Die pad aanwysings na Bateleur was korrek en maklik om te volg. Die tente is netjies en goed versorg en die terrein word goed versorg. Bateleur word aanbeveel vir enige natuur liefhebber.

Friendly people, very tasty food, nice surroundings.

The Lodge is aimed more at hunters. There is no Big 5 on site and game drives are undertaken on other farms in the area. Game drives must be booked well in advance of arrival - we could not get a place on game drives at Big 5 farms. The road is very bad - rather drive around Ellisras than on the dirt road from Vaalwater.

Sal nie weer daar bespreek nie.

Dit is net 'n onprofessionele opset - daar word twee jong manne en twee jong meisies gelos om na als om te sien. Hulle vier eindig op by die kroeg van die middag af tot laat in die aand en daar word gedrink en gekuier met klipharde musiek. Geensins wat ek in gedagte gehad het nie. Spreiers word vroegoggend aangeskakel om die tente en ek moet deur die stortreën loop om by die ontbyttafel uit te kom.

Will not book there again.

It's just an unprofessional setup - two young men and two young girls are left to look after everything. The four of them end up at the bar from midday until late in the evening and there is drinking and partying with rock hard music. Not at all what I had in mind. Spreaders are turned on early in the morning around the tents and I have to walk through the pouring rain to get to the breakfast table.

Bateleur Tented Safari Lodge and Bush Spa 's response

Goeie Dag Hendrie

Ons vra om verskoning omdat jy nie 'n aangename tyd gehad het gedurende jou kort kuiertjie by Bateleur nie.

Gedurende hierdie fees tyd was die lodge nie so 'n stil rustige hawe wat ons gaste gewoonlik ervaar nie, maar ons hoop dat jy weer in die toekoms n draai by ons sal maak om 'n baie beter ervaring te hê.

Geseënde jaar vir jou verder.

Vriendelike Groete.
Bateleur Bestuur.

Ons het die rustigheid geniet.

Die aand se kuier langs die vuurtjie was aangenaam en die voorsiening van eetgerei tussen tente was goed. Die klagte is die steuring wat die honde veroorsaak het deur dikwels langs die tente te blaf.

We enjoyed the tranquility.

The evening's visit by the fire was pleasant and the provision of cutlery between tents was good. The complaint is the disturbance caused by the dogs by often barking next to the tents.
