Chill-'n-Biki Lodge Mabalingwe

Uiters aangename verblyf met baie aandag aan detail.

Michelle is 'n baie gawe gasvrou wat deurgaans uitstekend met ons gekommunikeer het. Die huis was silwerskoon en is uiters goed toegerus met alles wat nodig is - meer as wat mens gewoonlik in selfsorg-eenhede kry. Alle toerusting, geyser ens. het gewerk. Die swembad was silwerskoon en die boma 'n heerlike kuierplek om saans om die vuur te kuier. Michelle was selfs so gaaf om ons toe te laat om later as die uitkloktyd die huis te ontruim aangesien daar nie ander gaste direk na ons bespreek het nie. Die huis is baie goed geleë naby ander fasiliteite in die oord waarvan meeste gratis tot ons beskikking was. Baie dankie vir uiters aangename verblyf! Ons beveel Chill-'n-Biki met groot vrymoedigheid aan en beplan reeds aan 'n volgende kuier daar.

Baie netjies en skoon plek. Alles wat mens benodig.

Sien sterre.

Pragtige huis met alles wat jy benodig, baie goeie kommunikasie en diens van die eienaar af.

Die huis is naby die winkel en swembad area, binne loopafstand. Die huis self het alles wat jy nodig het. Lekker skoon swembad, baie lekker gesellige braai area, lugverkoeling, 3 skoon en netjiese en-suite slaapkamers, ens. Ons was 7 mense, en het gemaklik gebly. Michelle het goed met ons gekommunikeer en het vinnig die een klein problem uitgesorteer vir ons. Baie diere het kom kuier, groot groepe vlakvarke met kleintjies, koedoes, njalas, impalas, ens. Die enigste ding om van bewus te wees is dat die huis nie heeltemal in die bos is nie, maar deel is van die Elephant Lodge kompleks. Maar die entertainment area (braai en swembad) kyk uit op die bos, en jy sien nie ander mense nie. Ons sien uit om weer daar te gaan bly. Dankie Michelle!

Ons het ons verblyf baie geniet en het lekker gekuier en gerus.

Die huis is met alles toegerus wat nodig mag wees. Die wild kom kuier by Chill-'n-Biki, ons kleindogter het haar verstom aan die wild wat daar kom kuier. Ons sal eendag weer daar bespreek.

Total amazement.

Had the best time. Animals while you sitting in the pool, amazing walks, close to shops, it was just perfect!

Very, very comfortable stay!

Clean, neat, spacious and very good quality and price.

Absoluut wonderlik!

Daar is nie woorde vir hoe lekker ons gekuier het nie. Die plek is ongelooflik! Buffels 3 meter van ons af, bosvark, koedoes, njalas en vlakvarke heeltyd om die huis. Hele familie ape ons kom groet met 'n klein babatjie wat aan ma vasklou. Alles wat mens nodig het in huis. Ons gaan beslis weer terug!

Very comfortable, clean and neat.

We had a wonderful weekend, rest well. The house is well equipped with everything one needs. Thank you Michelle, we will see you again.

Highly recommended accommodation at Mabalingwe.

Thank you for the opportunity we had to stay at Chill-'n-Biki Lodge. The accommodation was perfect for five adults and three children. Everything we needed was supplied, the bedrooms are spacious and the en-suite bathrooms a winner. We had daily visits by the warthogs, aardvark, kudus and nyalas, to the delight of all. The early-morning game drive booked through Mabalingwe's game rangers was fantastic with many animal sightings. Chill-'n-Biki Lodge will be added to my family's favourite list. Thank you once again for a restful stay!

Very interactive wildlife experience, suitable for young children.

We really enjoyed our stay. The hosts are friendly and easy to contact, and the chalet is well thought out.

Bushveld tranquillity!

We had a great time here from the moment we arrived until we unfortunately had to pack up! The animals and bird life were exceptional! We were surprised by buffalo at the bottom of the camp, walked closely by the cottage. Will definitely visit again. Michelle was always available for any help or questions.

Fantastic location with every thing we needed for our stay!

What a truly spectacular experience. You cannot ask for a better location. The daily visits for all sorts of animals make each day a new experience. The house had everything we needed and is very nicely decorated with special touches everywhere. Would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone.

Fantastic!

We had a lovely time!

The place is very beautiful and clean.

The owners of the house go out of their way to make sure that everything in the place is ready and neat. I could contact the lady at any time if I had a question or was uncertain and she helped. The house is very nice, large rooms each with its own bathroom. It's clean and neat. The animals come to visit every day at the house. We really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone who wants to get out of town.

A very enjoyable experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Chill-'n-Biki Lodge. Extremely helpful and friendly owners; good facilities and friendly staff at the lodge that all ensured a most enjoyable stay. Thank you very much Michelle.

Beautiful place, but needs check up maintenance.

Need to check the globes more often if it still works. The lapa has no lights. The upstairs room has one globe working. TV was working the next day, but not when we arrived. They need to have at least tea or coffee even though it's self-catering.

Dit is so lekker plek mens wil nie huis toe gaan nie.

Die atmosfeer van die bosveld maak mens sommer rustig. Wat 'n besonderse ervaring dat die Olifante by die boma vir ons kom kuier het.

Ons het baie lekker gebly.

Baie dankie vir 'n lekker naweek. Michelle is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Sal beslis weer gaan.

Beautiful lodge, great location.

Access to everything. Warthogs and buck make daily visits! Absolutely wonderful, we can't wait to go back. A beautiful lodge, with a perfect braai area and marquee seating area for the evening. Perfect for a family, games, pools, activities and game drives!

Fantastic.

Good area, good service!

Baie lekker, eenheid is goed toegerus en ideaal vir 'n rustige wegbreek.

Eienaar doen baie moeite om gaste tegemoet te kom en welkom te laat voel. Die ideale bestemming vir 'n naweek weg om rustig te verkeer of met 'n gesin met kinders wat besig gehou moet word.

Lovely break away with family.

Very nice, the kids enjoyed the weekend, especially the animals coming to visit the home. The house is very well equipped and the owners are very helpful.

Perfekte plek vir 'n kort en lang naweek.

Heerlike akkommodasie vir 'n naweek wegbreek. Het niks meer nodig nie, rustig in the middel van die bos. Alles wat mens nodig het is beskikbaar.

Just divine.

A wonderful stay in the African bush just far enough from home to be away, but close enough to go for a weekend. Wonderful accommodation with everything you could need.

Wat 'n belewenis.

Ons tydjie was 'n fantastiese belewenis. Ons het werklik gerus. En die wild wat so mak was, wow, dit was iets om vir jouself te sien.

Comfortable.

The service/accommodation was very nice. Maybe the bedding can be replaced. White marks on the sheet in red bedroom and fitted sheet has a tear in. Will definitely recommend it to anyone.

Great.

Lovely place and people. Everything in its place, neat and clean.

Fantasties!

Ons 'n wondelike tyd by Chill-'n-Bietjie gehad! Die plek is uitstekend geleë, loopafstand na die hoofswembad en winkel. Die vlakvarke, rooibokke en voëls wat ons elke dag kom besoek het was vreeslik opwindend vir veral die kinders! Ons het so lekker "gechill" ons het nie eers die TV aangesit nie! Sal die plekkie beslis aanbeveel vir mens wat net bietjie wil wegbreek, al is dit net vir 'n naweek!

The stay was pleasant.

The place is tranquil, clean and well looked after. Thanks, Michelle, for making it easy for us to find all information we required!

Well located and superbly comfortable for a big family or a few couples.

Very comfortable and tastefully decorated accommodation with everything you could possibly need to enjoy your vacation in Mabalingwe. The braai-lapa is pure joy to use and we had a great time around the camp fire at night. The frequent visits from some of the neighbourhood animals provide additional entertainment. The house is located within 3 minute walking distance from the entertainment complex with free putt-putt, tennis, squash, outdoor chess, kids play area and BBQ facilities. The well stocked shop and coffee shop are also there and another 112 rock steps will take you up the steep hill-side to the heated pool at main reception. That will also give you that kilo-joule burn so that you enjoy your next meal even more at the fantastic restaurant next to the reception area. Michelle and Hennie are awesome hosts and were very helpful when we had questions.

It was very nice. I would really recommend the place to family and friends.

Our stay at Chill-'n-Biki was very nice and cosy. Our family really enjoyed staying there. We would love to return with friends.

Was heerlik met baie dierebesoekers.

Dit was ‘n heerlike week. Rustig met net voëls en diere wat enige geluide maak.

Fantastic!

We enjoyed it a lot, accommodation was value for money and owner friendly and helpful. Will definitely go back.

Heelik, rustig, asemrowend.

Ons het ons wegbreeknaweek terdeë geniet! Die kinders het heerlik en veilig met hulle fietse gery en die diere wat elke nou en dan verby geloop het, het vir groot opgewondenheid gesorg. Die chalet was goed toegerus en baie netjies en ons het niks kortgekom nie. Michelle was ook net 'n oproep weg as daar iets gekort het. Sal definitief weer besoek.

Was an unbelievable weekend!

Very good service. Pretty place!

Ons het 'n ongelooflike lekker tyd gehad by Chil-'n-Biki.

Ons was 'n groep vriendinne wat 'n wegbreeknaweek gaan geniet het by Chil-'n-Biki. Ek sal beslis enige iemand verwys wat op soek is na 'n pragtige naweek in die bosveld.

Amazing holiday destination.

I would highly recommend staying at Chill-'n-Biki lodge in Mabalingwe. We had an amazing time. Everything you need is there. It's a real "home away from home". Especially love the Boma area!

Heerlik ontspan in die bosveld.

Kon rêrig lekker kuier as gesin. Sal dit aanbeveel.

Heerlik.

Aangename, skoon, volledig toegerus.

Our time was very lovely.

The house was beautifull, equipped with everything. There was sufficient space for my family of 5. The nature reserve itself was very beautiful, the house is situated close to everything, we really enjoyed our time at Chill-'n-Bike lodge Mabalingwe and will definitely go back.

Onvergeetlike naweek!

Wat 'n heerlike naweek weg by Chill-'n-Biki lodge Mabalingwe. Die eenheid is pragtig, alles was netjies en skoon gewees, elke kamer sy eie badkamer met die swembad en kinderspeelarea loopafstand. Die vlakvarke en bosvarke het ons elke dag kom groet. Michelle was baie vriendelik gewees en was gereed om ons te verwelkom! Ek sal dit vir seker aanbeveel vir 'n lekker rus en gesinsnaweek saam vriende en familie. Ons sien uit na ons volgende kuier!

Fantastiese verblyf met gerieflike swembaddens en baie om te doen vir kinders.

Ons verwagtinge is oortref met die vriendelike ontvangs en al die ervaringe die naweek.

Wonderlike wegbreek.

Dit was 'n fantastiese en spesiale wegbreek. Die blyplek is great. Die diere wat by die huis kom kuier maak dit onvergeetlik. Die eienaar se omgee is die kersie op die koek.

Fantastic R&R with family!

Great location with superb ambience, everything you need under one roof under the African sky! Will come back any time and definitely recommend it to friends and family.

Fantastic.

A nice healthy environment.

Relaxing and comfortable.

Lounge 2 seater needs replacing. Lounge/open plan kitchen requires serious cooling. Cleaning in general could be improved upon.

Very beautiful place, clean, neat and convenient.

The owner was friendly and hospitable. House is well maintained and decorated.

Awesome place. Will recommend it to anyone

Will go back there.

The name says everything.

Here you can rest and experience everything from the forest that you would like to experience. Beautiful, spacious en suite-bedrooms with all the possible facilities. The nice private boma is of course a plus. 10 out of 10 for Chill-'n-Biki lodge.

Ons het dit vreeslik rustig gevind, ideal vir 'n wegbreek.

Baie geniet. Sal dit aanbeveel vir enige iemand.

It was peaceful and comfortable.

The owners were very accommodating and often made contact to help with arrangements.

The best place to go which is not too far.

Feedback, directions and friendliness were truly appreciated.

Prefect getaway.

Fully equipped and perfect for a getaway from the hustle and bustle without any issues.

Chill-'n-Biki is een van my gunsteling lodges in Mabalingwe.

Ons het baie lekker gebly en Michelle is 'n baie goeie gasvrou. Mens voel sommer welkom in haar huis. Die skoonmaakdiens was ook baie waardeer. Baie dankie vir alles Michelle. Ons sal definitief terugkom.

Was baie lekker en rustig.

Was baie lekker sal aanbeveel.

Baie goeie geriewe en goed geleë.

Ons het so lekker gebly by Chill 'n Bietjie, ek kan dit enige dag vir almal aanbeveel.

Lekker en rustig, netjies en skoon, word aanbeveel as jy rustigheid van die bos verkies.

Michelle die eienaar het my gekontak 'n week voordat ons moes inboek en baie professionele en korrekte aanwysings gestuur. Haar vriendelikheid en hulp word waardeer. Chill n biki lodge sal ek sterk aanbeveel vir 'n gesin met kinders wat lekker wil ontspan en wegkom van die stad se geraas.

Lekker ontspan in die bos.

Sentraal geleë in Mabalingwe, stap afstand na swembad en ontspanningsgeriewe. Netjiese ruim huis, wat gediens word elke dag, net om by te dra na 'n lekker ontspanne kuier! Boma om die bosveld gevoel ten volle te waardeer. Ruim slaapkamers, met storte en groot baddens. Kan Chill 'n Biki aanbeveel, en ons gaan beslis weer kom kuier.

Was heerlik.

Die kamers is ruim en baie gerieflik veral dat elke kamer 'n eie badkamer het. Lekker naby aan swembaddens en speelpark wat 'n groot plus is. Die eienaar was fantasties en sy was heeltyd in kontak met ons om seker te maak alles is reg. Ons het baie lekker gebly.

Die plekkie is baie gesellig en gasvrou Michelle baie aangenaam.

Die kamers is ruim en stylvol gemeubileer. Badkamers is netjies en skoon. Baie gerieflik dat elke kamer 'n eie badkamer het. Kombuis is gerieflik. Kinders kan kinderstories kyk op TV. Boma is lekker om om die vuur te kuier. Lekker naby aan swembaddens en speelpark. Mens voel sommer tuis.

Wondeful.

Michelle, the owner, made us feel at home. She kept contact to make sure everything was in order. You just chill on the patio and the animals come right up to the patio, great place for birders too. All the rooms were spacious and the boma is a nice place to socialize around the fire in the evening. Will definitely be back. We enjoyed it so much and the service was excellent.

Perfect bush break away weekend!

We spent 4 days at Chill-'n-Biki lodge with my 2 small children under 2, and our parents. On arrival we were greeted by the welcoming committee and the warthogs soon become regular visitors. The unit accommodated 6 grownups very comfortably and was equipped with everything we needed. The lodge was walking distance from the swimming pool, kids play area and shop. We had a fantastic family bush weekend, and will definitely return! Thank you Michelle for making sure everything was perfect for our stay at Chill-'n-Biki lodge.

Onbeskryflike lekker naweek.

Nader aan die natuur kan jy nie kom nie, dit was verskriklik netjies en die mooiste plek ooit - olifant het ons besoek by die boma terwyl ons gebraai het dit was unbelievable.

Lovely and peaceful.

Enjoyed the stay. Very quiet and peaceful, only the monkeys were a bit annoying. Would suggest a gauze in front of the windows that can open! They jump over your head into the house to steal the fruit while we sit inside. Couldn't leave any door or window open. Yet still value for money!

Lovely, would like a bigger variety of pots and bowels.

Lovely in the bushveld and animals came to visit us. Nice getaway close to Pretoria and Johannesburg.

Awesome.

It was very nice, just didn't see a lot of wild!

Wonderful little place and I'll definitely be returning.

I just want to thank Michelle. You have a beautiful place and we really enjoyed it. Will definitely be returning.

Peaceful weekend in the bushveld.

The house is spacious and very comfortable. Very neat, clean and tasteful. We really enjoyed the weekend. Didn't see a lot of animals.

This is a lovely, conveniently equipped getaway place close to nature.

This is a beautiful and convenient place. Away from the hustle and bustle but not totally isolated from civilisation. We really enjoyed the animals and nature. Will recommend it to anyone.

Nice place, but not what I thought it was going to be.

Firstly the good. The place is clean and the rooms are as per the pictures. The not so good. The pictures on the web at the time we booked showed a deck that overlooked water. This sounded great as you could relax on the deck while waiting to see if any animals came to drink. The problem is that these photos are from the restaurant nearby and not part of the accommodation. There is no view from the accommodation and not much place to relax when you were not on a game drive. One night it started to rain and we were woken by water dripping onto our bed. The website indicates TV's in every room. There are in some rooms but these don't work.

It was a wonderful experience, friendly service from the owner completed everything perfectly.

Chill-'n-Biki lodge is amazing, close to the important places in Mabalingwe, but far enough so you have enough privacy. Perfect mix of modern and retro, very neat and pretty on the inside, but there is a bushveld vibe in the house. Warthog visit daily, monkies steal the sugar if you don't seal it properly, and an awesome boma area where you can chat away the hours and experience the bush. Was a pleasure to meat Michelle the owner. Her friendly service and attention summed up the experience perfectly.
