Lekker stil en rustig. Daar kan aandag gegee word aan linne en higiëne. Alhoewel die kamer geen rookbordjie gehad het nie, het die kamer erg na rook geruik.

Kan verbeter.

Ek was ietwat teleurgestel met my verblyf. 1. Daar is koffie en Cremora, maar geen vars melk nie. Net koffie word verskaf en geen tee nie. Wat van persone wat nie koffie drink nie? 2. Ek het geen noodlig gesien wat gaste moet gebruik tydens beurtkrag nie. 3. Die kamer waarin ek gebly het het 'n deur wat lei na ander kamers/res van die huis. Daar was mense ingewees wat luidrigtig was en tot laat aand deure hard toegeklap het. Dit was regtig steurend. 4. Alhoewel my kamer skoon en netjies was, het die geheel die voorkoms geskep van onnetheid/onversorgdheid. Bietjie meer aandag sou 'n groot verskil maak.

Can improve.

I was somewhat disappointed with my stay. 1. There is coffee and Cremora, but no fresh milk. Only coffee is provided and no tea. What about non-coffee drinkers? 2. I did not see any emergency light that guests should use during load shedding. 3. The room I stayed in has a door that leads to other rooms/rest of the house. There were people in there who were loud and slammed doors until late at night. It was really disturbing. 4. Although my room was clean and tidy, the whole created the appearance of uncleanliness/negligence. A little more attention would make a big difference.

Glad nie baie skoon of instandgehou nie.

Kamerdeur kon nie sluit van binne. Yskas baie vuil en het gestink. Bedrading by ketel glad nie veilig. Ketel het plofgeluid en vonk gemaak en kon daarna nie water kook. Algehele onderhoud - swak. Algehele netheid - swak. Kamers bekostigbaar. Ek betaal volgende keer eerder 'n bietjie meer vir 'n skoon, netjiese plek wat onderhou word.

Dit lyk ongelukkig glad nie soos op die foto's nie. Als is verwaarloos en slordig. Die kamers ruik muf van toestaan en waterdruk is baie swak. As jy nie kan dans nie, kan jy nie nat word nie.

Ek sal nooit weer hulle dienste gebruik of aanbevelings doen nie.

Fair.

The accommodation is very nicely situated. I shared accommodation on Monday night with 4 very nice friends in the dorm, we respected each other. Tuesday night 3 other guests joined us, they were noisy, they left the place where the TV stand like a pigsty. People do not care to share a bathroom, but the underpants after being washed, was hanged on the shower rail and towel rail, for the whole day? The WiFi was a bonus and was appreciated.

Slegs voldoende.

Ons het na donker eers arriveer, was moeg en moes op aankoms eers 'n grappie aanhoor wat ongelukkig nie op die regte ore geval het nie. Die kamer, alhoewel klein, is voldoende vir een nag oornag, stort en badkamer baie klein, maar dien die doel. Die kamer is geleë langs die backpackers en ons was deur die nag gepla deur die rumoer, oop en toe klap van deure en ongewone geraas. Die lugversorger raas so baie dat ons dit na vyf minute moes afsit. Sal nie weer daar gaan bly nie, alhoewel dit 'n goeie "budget" opsie kan wees.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Only sufficient.

We arrived after dark, were tired and had to listen to a joke on arrival which unfortunately did not fall on the right ears. The room, although small, is sufficient for one night, shower and bathroom very small, but serves the purpose. The room is located next to the backpackers and we were bothered throughout the night by the commotion, doors opening and closing and unusual noise. The air conditioner makes so much noise that we had to turn it off after five minutes. Would not stay there again, although it could be a good "budget" option.

Thank you for your review. I take note of your remarks made concerning the noises you heard, of which I unfortunately was not aware of up and until now. I do have signs that have been in place for years that clearly request all clients staying at Elephant Walk, to keep noise levels down especially after 22:00.
The shower is a standard size shower and unfortunately there is nothing that I can do concerning the size of room, which is a first time being reported as a fault. I can however, have a look at the air-conditioner and attend to it, if need be.
You will recall that after you made it clear to me that you were tired and didn't appreciate the joke I made with you, that I apologised twice for making a joke with you, to both you and your wife. I felt that I had taken action concerning that, and can only once again apologies for that.

A bit outdated.

The accommodation is neat but very old and outdated. The owner is friendly. All right for a stopover but I wouldn't stay for more than a night.

Skoon, netjiese verblyf in rustige area en ideaal geleë vir besoek aan nasionale park.

Hierdie was ons tweede verblyf by Elephant Walk en soos voorheen is ons vriendelik ontvang. Die eienaar het ons baie goed geakkommodeer toe ons op die nippertjie ekstra verblyf vir twee addisionele persone verlang het. Die verblyfplek self is netjies en ontbreek glad nie aan die basiese benodighede nie. Die kamers is basies maar skoon en voldoen 100% aan die behoefte om kop neer te lê na 'n lang dag. Parkering vir voertuie is verlig en veilig en die hek na die perseel word saans gesluit. Die bedrag wat per persoon gevra word per nag is bekostigbaar en solank dit in daardie omgewing bly sal ons altyd weer ons besprekings hier doen.

Clean, tidy accommodation in a quiet area and ideally located for visiting the national park.

This was our second stay at Elephant Walk and as before we were warmly received. The owner accommodated us very well when we requested extra accommodation for two additional persons at the last minute. The accommodation itself is neat and does not lack the basic necessities at all. The rooms are basic but clean and meet 100% the need to lay down after a long day. Parking for vehicles is lighted and safe and the gate to the site is locked at night. The amount asked per person per night is affordable and as long as it stays in that range we will always make our reservations here again.

Rustige en eenvoudige plekkie om by te bly.

Daar is toegang tot 'n gemeenskaplike kombuis om jou eie kos te maak en 'n braai-area beskikbaar gewees. Ek sal aanbeveel om eerder vir die gastekamer opsie te gaan indien jy deurgaan.

Good morning

Thank you for the review which serves the purpose for pointing out faults and problems enabling us to investigate and see what needs attention. I do apologise for replying in English due to my Afrikaans not being very good in the written form.

On the low rating given to customer service, it's a pity as I had a person who was standing in for me in my absence and therefore cannot really comment. He is a young well educated and friendly person and if he treated Amelda and her family badly I do apologise for that. It was his first time he had done this and intended to assist me in my absence this one time.

Sorry about the report on the cleanliness of the unit, but I do not accept that. I did, however, speak to the person who is designated to that particular unit, and as I was, she too was totally surprised. However, I will keep an eye on this.

On the security side, the premises are locked at night. There are functioning security lights for the parking area. I must add that we do not have armed security guards at this establishment as it does not warrant it.

The amenities reported as not functioning properly was double checked, and it was found that the shower functions properly and the toilet flushes correctly as well as the lighting inside was found to be all OK.

Reviews do however ensure that we at our establishment do keep our finger on the pulse.

I would like to suggest that whoever the guest is, to please in future not to suffer in silence, but if there is something wrong to immediately bring it to the attention of the establishment owner affording them time to respond ASAP. This to ensure a pleasant stay. It will assist both parties whoever and wherever.

Thank you.

Inconvenient

Elephant Walk Accommodation is ? overnight facility and one would assume that the sleeping facilities must be comfortable, this was by no means our experience. It was the most uncomfortable double bed that had to be replaced years ago. I was really very disappointed.

Thank you for your review and I will have a look at what you have commented on and if possible take the required action..I do apologies for the steps incident your wife had leading up to the bathroom as it is reasonably visible when entering the bath room.
I will make mention to all new clients that they be aware of the steps leading up to he bath room in the future and that should hopefully alleviate any possible tripping up when wanting to enter the bathroom. Once again thank you.

Although it is an acceptable establishment, the location is not the best.

Although their website states "a quiet rest before visiting the Kruger Park", we got very little sleep on the Friday and Saturday night of our 3 day stay due to the fact that the establishment is right opposite a night club that carried on until 03h00 every night. The owner's response: "We battle to enforce by-laws because SA does not have by-laws anymore". Although their website states "Dinner by arrangement" we were directed to a nearby restaurant for dinner. The swimming pool (being a "private pool") was only made available to guests until 18h00 in the evening, in a part of the country where temperatures remain into the mid 30's well into the night. Overall a very disappointing stay.

Thank you for your review and concerns as stated. I responded to the complaints when they were brought to my attention and contacted the Lodge situated across the road from my establishment.
This I did by means of both telephonically and personally visiting the manager at the source of the noise. I have since then been contacted by the responsible people who offered me and my clients an apology and also assured me that the functions with loud music have been suspended.

The complaint was justified and I can report that the matter was attended to successfully. The swimming pool rules with the times permitted to use it, unfortunately, applies to all persons using that facility.

I’m sorry that your visit turned out the way it did, but has assisted me in having the source of the noise especially stopped.

Kind regards,

I am sorry you had the experience you documented. Thank you for the things reported that were really faulty and I do apologise for that. These things will be attended to by an electrician. There are some things I do not accept as will be seen below.

1). The unit being dirty. All of my units have white linen and towels in them so that any client arriving to stay in any unit at Elephant Walk can see immediately whether the unit is clean. This I support with the reviews of dozens of other clients.
2). Your comments on the bathroom I also totally disagree with.
3). The A/Con will be behind the curtain if you pull the curtain right across it.
4). Thank you for the report on the fan/light.

We had a good stay with only one inconvenience - we were 8 people staying in the 10 bed dorm and the aircon wasn't working - although there was a fan in the room it was too hot to sleep. We only stayed there the one night before we entered the Kruger National Park, and enjoyed the other facilities.

Uitstekend! As daar ses sterre bestaan het, het ons Elephant Walk ses sterre gegee.

Waarde vir geld is uitstekend. Ons het tuis gevoel. Ons groep sal sonder om te huiwer in die toekoms weer en weer en weer daar tuisgaan. Baie dankie vir die huislike atmosfeer.

Outstanding! If six stars existed, we'd give Elephant Walk six stars.

Value for money is excellent. We felt at home. Our group will stay there again and again and again in the future without hesitation. Thank you very much for the homely atmosphere.

Aangename verblyf in alle opsigte!

Wit mure, wit beddegoed en elke dag skoon handdoeke. Daar was boonop twee vollengte spieëls in die slaapkamer en 2 groot spieëls in die badkamer, en die kersie op die koek was 'n kragprop naby 'n spieël! Die eienaar is 'n baie hulpvaardige en vriendelike man wat ingestel is op die gemak en gerief van sy gaste.

Pleasant stay in all respects!

White walls, white bedding and clean towels every day. In addition, there were two full length mirrors in the bedroom and 2 large mirrors in the bathroom, and the icing on the cake was a power plug near a mirror! The owner is a very helpful and friendly man who is focused on the comfort and convenience of his guests.

Goed, behalwe vir die kamer waarin honde/troeteldiere was.

Alles was gaaf, maar daar was duidelik 'n hond of ander troeteldier in die kamer voor ons daar ingekom het. My vrou, wat allergies is, het heeltemal toegetrek en kon feitlik nie slaap nie.

Good, except for the room that had dogs/pets in it.

Everything was nice, but there was clearly a dog or other pet in the room before we got in there. My wife, who is allergic, completely shut down and could hardly sleep.

Lekker in die natuur.

Baie vriendelik ontvang en gehelp. Die kind van 12 jaar het net DStv gesoek, maar dit was haar probleem, nie myne nie. Baie rustig en veilig gevoel.

Nice in nature.

Very kindly received and helped. The 12-year-old was only looking for DStv, but that was her problem, not mine. Very calm and safe feeling.

Baie lekker, maar die kamer is te na aan die woning.

Ek sal graag weer daar gaan woon, solank hulle net nie weer vir my 'n kamer aanbied sonder n stoep nie. Ek dink die eienaar is een wonderlike mens. Sal regtig Elephant Walk my woonplek maak vir 'n weeklange vakansie.

Very nice, but the room is too close to the house.

I would like to live there again, as long as they don't offer me a room without a porch again. I think the owner is one wonderful person. Would really make Elephant Walk my place to stay for a week long holiday.

Perfek vir oornag!

Die kamer was baie mooi skoon, die diens was goed, en die area was baie goed. Ons het net oornag, en dit was die perfekte, sakpas plek om by te oornag. Ons sal dit kan voorstel vir enigeen wat 'n nag of selfs 2 wil gaan.

Perfect for overnight!

The room was very nice and clean, the service was good, and the area was very good. We only stayed the night, and it was the perfect pocket-sized place to stay. We would be able to suggest it to anyone who wants to go for a night or even 2.

Good Value for money and service with a smile.

My wife and I were on our way to the Kruger National Park and decided to stop-over in Phalaborwa to ensure we hit the gate at 6am. Lovely stop-over, locals are friendly and helpful. The local bushveld pub is a must, laid back atmosphere. Elephant walk is a guesthouse close to the Phalaborwa Gate and we would recommend it to any couples and or families.

Een nag vir "backpackers".

Ek sal dit weer gebruik, maar slegs vir een aand. Die tekort aan luversorging sal my noodsaak om te skuif.

One night for "backpackers".

I would use it again, but only for one night. The lack of air conditioning will force me to move.
