Gerieflik en waarde vir geld.

Baie lekker gebly en die verskeidenheid diere is lekker vir die kinders.

Uiters teleurgesteld, 'n dag vroeër gery.

Plek was stowwerig, braai-area weke gelede skoongemaak. Potte en panne oud en beskadig, geen pierings, klein bordjies, chalet is vir 12 mense en daar is net 4 wynglase, een glasopskepbak. Alhoewel dit as volbespreek gewys het was ons die enigste gaste. Toe ons uit die parkeerarea beweeg het is daar op ons geskreeu, toe ek foto's wou neem het een op ons geskreeu: "Don't do that!"

Extremely disappointed, drove a day earlier.

Place was dusty, braai area cleaned weeks ago. Pots and pans old and damaged, no saucers, small plates, chalet is for 12 people and there are only 4 wine glasses, one glass holder. Although it showed as fully booked we were the only guests. When we moved out of the parking area we were shouted at, when I wanted to take pictures someone shouted at us: "Don't do that!"

Amazing cats.

Amazing to be so close to those beautiful cats. The accommodation was a bit rustic for the price. But overall great stay. Thank you.

Die was asemrowend. En die toergids is baie aangenaam, sal beslis weer gaan.

Al probleem wat daar was, is die gaste wat langs ons ingeboek het en die gaste langs hulle het vreeslik geraas en gekuier en dit is onaanvaarbaar. Ons het niks geslaap nie want hul het deur die nag gekuier en baklei. Maar verder was die kuier baie aangenaam. Hul kan wel 'n steak bedien of bietjie uitbrei met hul spyskaart.

The wash was breathtaking. And the tour guide is very pleasant, will definitely go again.

All the problem there was was the guests who checked in next to us and the guests next to them made a lot of noise and chatted and this is unacceptable. We didn't sleep because they were hanging out and fighting all night. But otherwise the visit was very pleasant. They can serve a steak or expand a bit with their menu.

I did go 6 years ago. Nothing could stop me from going again and again.

6 years ago it was the best place to go to, and I wanted to go again. I'm so glad that I made that decision. It changed my life, my way of seeing things in a positive way and it helped me choose what to do in the future. In everything we did there, I will give the staff full stars for the food, their friendly faces, the help and friendship, the tour, the food (excellent) the manager, Liberty, that went out of his way, in tough times with the power outages from Eskom, these people did know what they were doing under much pressure. I am going again. The fresh air, and the feeling of being safe between all those beautiful big cats. You're the best. Thanks for everything.

Beautiful scenery.

The location and outdoor facilities such as the braai area, bar and lions and tigers walking so close to your cottage were very nice. The interior of the houses themselves needs some attention. We were only provided with 2 towels for 4 adults. We did ask on day 2 for extra towels and got them. No WiFi reception.

Lekker bos wegbreek!

Heerlike wegbreekplek vir ‘n naweek met familie. Nie elke dag dat jy ‘n braaivleis vuur kan geniet met die gebrul van leeus as agtergrond nie!

Nice forest getaway!

Great getaway for a weekend with family. It's not every day that you can enjoy a barbecue fire with the roar of lions as a background!

Prentjiemooi.

Was awesome om in nr. 4 te bly, die leeus se gebrul te hoor en te sien as hul langs die draad verbystap. Toer was baie interessant met Steward wat ons heelwat geleer het.

Wonderlik. Sal beslis weer daar bly.

Dit was 'n wonderlike plek met die leeus wat jou dophou terwyl jy vleis braai. Die huisie is goed toegerus en skoon. Die eienaar is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Dit was vol miere en die kombuiskas vol kokkerotte...werklik onaangenaam.

Ons is deur 2 blikke gif vir die miere en kon glad nie kos in die kombuis voorberei nie. Daar was kakkerlakke in die kas, die kraan die badkamer was besig om los te kom. Vir die prys wat betaal word kan daar darem skoonmaakdienste wees...siende daar daar geen besem was om self skoon te maak nie.

It was full of ants and the kitchen cupboard full of cockroaches...really unpleasant.

We went through 2 tins of poison for the ants and could not prepare food in the kitchen at all. There were cockroaches in the closet, the faucet in the bathroom was coming loose. For the price paid, there could at least be cleaning services...seeing that there was no broom to clean yourself.

Ongelooflike ervaring by hartsmense wat omgee vir die natuur.

Dit was voorwaar 'n heerlike oornag-akkommodasie. Volgende keer bly ons beslis langer om die toer saam met die gids mee te maak en die werking by Boskoppie te kan ervaar. Dankie vir hartlike ontvangs ook van die leeus in die leeukamp wat ons kom groet het.

Incredible experience for people at heart who care about nature.

It was truly a lovely overnight accommodation. Next time we will definitely stay longer to take the tour with the guide and experience the operation at Boskoppie. Thank you for the warm welcome also from the lions in the lion camp who came to greet us.

Beslis 'n plek om weer te besoek! Netjiese verblyf met die natuur by jou!

Fantastiese plek, sal dit beslis vir iemand aanbeveel. Beplan om self binnekort weer te besoek, aangesien ons twee funksies die naweek in Kroonstad gehad het, het ons minder tyd daar spandeer as wat ons graag sou wou. My kleinseun was in trane toe ons daar vertrek met die woorde. "This is my happy place, I want to stay here". Die leeus was slegs 5 m van ons huis. Verlang klaar na die rustigheid!

Definitely a place to visit again! Neat accommodation with nature at your side!

Great place, would definitely recommend to anyone. Planning to visit again soon myself, as we had two functions in Kroonstad this weekend, we spent less time there than we would have liked. My grandson was in tears when we left with the words. "This is my happy place, I want to stay here". The lions were only 5 m from our house. Longing for the tranquility!

Uitstekende verblyf en omgewing.

Ons het 'n wonderlike tyd gehad by Boskoppie. Kamer 4 was perfek, stil en reg by die draad waar ongeveer 9 leeus en tiere vir ons kom groet het gedurende ons braai. Ons kamer was skoon en gemaklik en het al ons benodigdhede voorsien. Die dame wat ons toer gedoen het was op punt met haar kennis van die diere.

Excellent accommodation and surroundings.

We had a wonderful time at Boskoppie. Room 4 was perfect, quiet and right by the wire where about 9 lions and tigers came to greet us during our barbecue. Our room was clean and comfortable and provided all our necessities. The lady who did our tour was on point with her knowledge of the animals.
