Peaceful with an amazing view.

Very well equipped luxury tent. Really enjoyed our stay and the view was amazing. The only thing I would recommend in the bathroom is to put in a bench, maybe so that you can put your clothing on. The sleeper couch needs cleaning. We were surprised to not have bedding for the sleeper couch when I mentioned that we were 6 people. So, I had the impression that the luxury tent had 3 bedrooms, which it only has 2. Other than that, the stay was really peaceful, with no TV and no internet.

Perfekte uitleg vir ons behoeftes. Privaat dog gemeenskaplik. Heerlike naweek!

Verblyf uit die boonste rakke! Pragtige uitsig. Ys, hout en charcoal word voorsien (teen betaling). Het die pooltafel en pylveertjies geniet - heerlike vermaak. Die groot buite tafel was ons "kantoor" vir die naweek. Genoeg privaatheid vir almal. Heerlike groot kommersiële yskas.

Perfect layout for our needs. Private yet communal. Great weekend!

Top notch accommodation! Beautiful view. Ice, wood and charcoal are provided (for a fee). Enjoyed the pool table and quivers - great entertainment. The large outdoor table was our "office" for the weekend. Enough privacy for everyone. Great big commercial fridge.

Swak diens. Maak seker jy weet hoe ver die swembad van jou eenheid is, veral die 8-sleeper.

Glad nie. Ek het gevra of daar 'n swembad by ons eenheid is en die terugvoer was onkorrek. Daar was vreeslike lawaai en geen rustigheid. Ek sou waardeer het as daar kommunikasie was tydens die bespreking dat dit nie 'n stil naweek sou wees nie a.g.v. 'n fees. Ek was baie ongelukkig.

Poor service. Make sure you know how far the pool is from your unit, especially the 8 sleeper.

Not at all. I asked if there was a pool at our unit and the feedback was incorrect. There was terrible noise and no peace. I would have appreciated if there had been communication during the booking that it would not be a quiet weekend due to a festival I was very unhappy.

Natural serenity in luxury accommodation.

The tented accommodation at Idwala Le Ingwe Lodge was modern and very comfortable. The view was amazing! I went mid-week and it was so quiet, only me there. Had a sudden water leak outside the tent and no water to the tent, but the host had it fixed in 20 minutes! So peaceful!

From the booking, they made sure that everything is communicated with us till we arrived.

I would rate them 5/5. Their service is great, Johan was so friendly and welcoming, which made everything easier. The view is to die for. Since it's winter they make sure that you have enough blankets and a heater to keep yourself warm. We really enjoyed our stay, and planning to come back with friends next time.

Ongelooflike harde musiek en klanke vanaf aangrensende lodge sowel as motorfietsrenbaan.

Alles baie netjies en goed ge-organiseerd. Die enigste probleem was die geraas van vreemde musiek en geskreeu oor luidsprekers. Die moto-cross baan reg langsaan Idwala het ook vir ons kopsere besorg. Verder baie lekker gestap en die luukse tent was aangenaam. Hekpoort en omliggende dele is meer 'n speelplek vir die Gautengers met motorfietse en partytjiegangers. Geen rus en vrede nie.

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

Unbelievably loud music and sounds from adjacent lodge as well as motorbike race track.

Everything very neat and well organized. The only problem was the noise of strange music and shouting over speakers. The moto-cross track right next to Idwala also gave us headaches. Furthermore, very nice walking and the luxury tent was pleasant. Hekpoort and surrounding areas are more of a playground for Gautengers with motorbikes and party goers. No peace and quiet.

Pragtige, ruim, netjiese huis met die beste ligging en uitsig.

Was baie beïndruk met die ruim kamers, leefvertrek, netheid en kombuis. Ons verblyf was baie lekker en ons het ook van die staproete gebruik gemaak. Die uitsig was fantasties. Die kombuis het meer as genoeg breekware en nie net die hoeveelheid glase, bekers en eetgerei soos meeste ander plekke vir die aantal gaste nie. Ek sal die huis enige tyd aanbeveel.

Was very impressed with the spacious rooms, living room, cleanliness and kitchen. Our stay was very nice and we also made use of the hiking trail. The view was fantastic. The kitchen has more than enough crockery and not just the amount of glasses, mugs and cutlery like most other places for the number of guests. I would recommend the house anytime.

Satisfied but please be more polite to guests.

We had a wonderful stay, the place is beautiful. However we did experience some hostile treatment when 2 of our guests made the mistake of thinking they were allowed to use the other private pool (which the 2 guests only put their feet in the water as they were fully clothed). It was a misunderstanding and even though we admitted that we were in the wrong, the lodge staff immediately assumed the worst of us and even fined us for making use of the jacuzzi that we didn't come close to. Also the stuff were already standing at the door an hour before our checking out time with no masks on. It felt like we were being chased out even though we were already taking out our bags at 9am.

'n Baie netjiese tent.

Die luukse tent is baie netjies. Dit is goeie waarde vir geld as 'n mens buite 'n naweek bespreek. Die swembad en Jacuzzi is nie noodwendig beskikbaar vir die tentinwoners nie, en word ook ekstra verhef indien dit beskikbaar is.
