Heel aangenaam.

Tevrede met die opset, net diefstal uit tent op dag een. Bestuur baie behulpsaam.

Was not at all impressed.

The services given on the app were not accurate to what was provided at the unit. There was no WiFi, no fun activities, and the restaurant closed way earlier than it was supposed to. We had to find other places to eat.

Baie vriendelike ontvangs, restaurant op akkommodasie se perseel. Met load shedding in ons almal se midde het ons nie eers die naweek geweet van dit nie! Plek het voorsiening gemaak met kragopwekker. Sal definitief die plek aanbeveel.

Heerlik gekuier!

Staanplek was heerlik groot! Badkamers is redelik basies maar altyd skoon. Daar is 'n kuierplek naby so die musiek in die aande was verstaanbaar. As jy stilte soek is dit nie die plek vir jou nie. Maar elke staanplek word daagliks vir jou gevee, personeel vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Die generator was 'n bonus. Ons sal weer gaan!

Have a great time!

Parking space was great! Bathrooms are pretty basic but always clean. There is a hangout nearby so the music in the evenings was understandable. If you are looking for silence this is not the place for you. But every stand is swept for you daily, staff friendly and helpful. The generator was a bonus. We will go again!

Uiters swak.

Ons het nog altyd webtuiste gebruik om ons vakansies te bespreek, maar die plek is definitief nie vir webtuiste nie. Elke aand is daar 'n kuier tot laat, mense reverse in ander gaste vas en dan lê mens heel aand wakker en bekommer oor jou eie voertuig, want daar is nie parkeerplek by jou eie kampterrein nie. Die kampterreine sal ek nie aanbeveel vir iemand met 'n kampwa of karavaan nie, die ingang is baie klein na jou staan plek en moet dus self ingestoot word in die dik sand. Daar is helemal te min badkamers en stortgeriewe vir die hoeveelheid kampeerders wat daar is. Boonop moes ons 'n breekskadedeposito betaal om te kamp, wat nie genoem was toe ons bespreek het nie. Na amper twee maande se gebel en sms'e is daar nogsteeds verskonings om dit nie terug te betaal nie, en dit nadat ons net een aand van ons week wat bespreek was daar gekamp het. Ons het dus eerder by Sodwana Bay self gaan kamp waar ons rus en vrede vir ons siel kon kry.

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

Extremely weak.

We have always used websites to book our holidays, but the place is definitely not for websites. Every evening there is a visit until late, people reverse into other guests and then you lie awake all night worrying about your own vehicle, because there is no parking space at your own campsite. I would not recommend the campsites to anyone with a camper van or caravan, the entrance is very small when you stand and therefore you have to push yourself into the thick sand. There are far too few bathrooms and shower facilities for the amount of campers there. In addition, we had to pay a breakages deposit to camp, which was not mentioned when we booked. After almost two months of calling and texting, there are still excuses for not paying it back, and this after we only camped there one night of our week that was booked. So we instead went camping at Sodwana Bay itself where we could find rest and peace for our souls.

Well located for young people, I wouldn't stay there myself though.

The site needs attention and renovation. Not enough hot water in the ablution and not everything in working order. Campsites in front look very neat but in the back the grass is long and things are standing around. Security can be upgraded.

We stayed at Maak 'n Jol for 3 nights as a quick breakaway and diving trip.

Very basic living arrangement, especially the wood cabins, but the chalets have everything you need and is good value for money accommodation. Accommodation was satisfactory and the children had great fun while we were there.

Mense sonder kinders - jong studente.

Skoonmakers was elke dag getrou en vriendelik. Chalets word daagliks skoongemaak. Maak 'n Jol is meer vir mense wat baie kuier en word nie juis aanbeveel met mense met kinders nie. Daar is elke aand 'n kuier en musiek is nogal baie hard. Julle kan maar verseker wees daar is 'n boksgeveg saans. Ons het gevoel dat Maak 'n Jol te veel kampeerders akkommodeer en die plek is oorvol dat mens beperk is met parkering en ook mens se uistig is beperk met al die kampeerders wat voor die chalets kamp opgsit het. Sodwana het gereeld kragonderbrekings en ons krag was gereeld afgesit. Hul het wel 'n kragopwekker maar terwyl dit gebruik word, word die geysers en lugversorgings afgesit sodat hulle die kampeerders kan bystaan met krag. Ons voel net dat mens baie betaal vir die chalets en ons krag moet verdeel word. Daar was ook 'n paar dae wat water gesny was a.g.v. die watertank wat leeggeloop het. Ons het vir 3 weke geboek maar het vakansie met 1 week kort geknip a.g.v. die omstandighede.

People without children - young students.

Cleaners were faithful and friendly every day. Chalets are cleaned daily. Make a Jol is more for people who visit a lot and is not particularly recommended for people with children. There is a party every night and the music is quite loud. You can be sure there will be a boxing match in the evening. We felt that Maak 'n Jol accommodates too many campers and the place is overcrowded that one is limited with parking and also one's view is limited with all the campers who set up camp in front of the chalets. Sodwana has frequent power outages and our power was often off. They do have a generator but while it is in use, the geysers and air conditioners are turned off so they can assist the campers with power. We just feel that one pays a lot for the chalets and our power should be divided. There were also a few days when water was cut due to the water tank that was empty. We booked for 3 weeks but cut the holiday short by 1 week due to the circumstances.

It is not what it used to be. Maak n Jol's standards have dropped tremendously and no maintenance has been done to the units.

Also, they advised that it has a fully equipped kitchen. For a family of 4, there was 1 coffee mug, 1 teaspoon, 3 forks and the list goes on. Sodwana is renowned for being able to drive on the beach with your vehicle but we did not know that this is not allowed in out-of-season periods. We were not advised by anyone that you cannot drive on the beach out of season. Won't recommend at all.

Good day,

First I wold like to apologise for the inconvenience. I'm so sure that if you did report the problem in the office that they should sort it out for you immediately. We are busy to upgrade all the chalets at the moment.

It is almost 3 years now that you are not allowed to go on the beach with a vehicle except for weekends and public holidays and school holidays. When my clients book for accommodation they always mail me with a lot of questions about the going on in Sodwana. I'm sure if you did send me a mail or contact me about the beach rules I could explain it to you.

Again, I apologise for all the problems that you did experience.

Aaklig!

Die plek is verwaarloos. Die toilet by ontvangs was vuil, op pad na ons chalet het daar gemors in 'n hoek gelê, die chalets het nuwe verf nodig en algemene onderhoud. Ons vriende se breekware was vuil en vol vet wat vertel dat daar nie gekyk word dat die plek behoorlik skoon is voor nuwe gaste kom nie. Die kampeerstaanplekke lyk gehawend en die mure om die staanplekke val uitmekaar uit. Ons was die enigste gaste en nou weet ek hoekom. Hulle sal ons nooit weer sien nie!

Horrible!

The place is neglected. The toilet at reception was dirty, on the way to our chalet there was rubbish lying in a corner, the chalets need new paint and general maintenance. Our friends' crockery was dirty and full of grease which tells us that the place is not properly cleaned before new guests arrive. The camping pitches look battered and the walls around the pitches are falling apart. We were the only guests and now I know why. They will never see us again!

Hoewel verblyf op standaard was, voel ons dat daar aandag geskenk kan word aan onderhoud veral buite geboue en terrein.

Uiters swak

Ons het skoonmaakgoed gaan koop om rakke en stort en ander skoon te maak voor ons bereid was om te begin met vakansie. Rommelhoop lê oop en oortollig, as die wind draai is daar nog 'n groter probleem. Veilgoed waai rond en natuurlik is daar 'n reuk wat rondom hang. Geen braai-areas vir die kamers, ook onvoldoende eetgerei. Vuil onder matrasse en onseker of beddegoed geruil was. Geyser trip ens ens ens. Uiters, uiters swak.

Extremely weak

We went shopping for cleaning supplies to clean shelves and shower and others before we were ready to go on vacation. Rubbish piles are open and redundant, when the wind turns there is an even bigger problem. Auction goods are blowing around and of course there is a smell hanging around. No braai areas for the rooms, also insufficient cutlery. Dirty under mattresses and not sure if bed linen had been changed. Geyser trip etc etc etc Extremely, extremely weak.

Sal nie aanbeveel vir ouer mense nie en ook nie vir kinders nie. Jong mense kuier tot laat en geen reels teen harde musiek tot vroeg oggend ure nie.

Kampeer plekke is baie naby die chalets en min of geen privaatheid nie. Toegang tot chalets en kampeer plakke - 4x4 aanbeveel - min plek vir motors om te staan en moet somes deur dik sand kan ry. Die Chalets het bietjie TLC nodig maar beid die nodige basiese geriewe.

Would not recommend for older people nor for children. Young people hang out until late and no rules against loud music until the early hours of the morning.

Camping sites are very close to the chalets and have little or no privacy. Access to chalets and camping pitches - 4x4 recommended - little space for cars to park and must sometimes be able to drive through thick sand. The Chalets need some TLC but offer the necessary basic amenities.

We had a wonderful time.

We had a wonderful time, the kids thoroughly enjoyed it. The only concern is that there is no management with regards to the speed limit in the camping grounds as I had to moan at a couple of the youngsters speeding in and out that there were kids running around. Other than that we had a wonderful time and the staff and Management are very helpful and friendly. We will go back in the future.

Maak 'n Jol is goed geleë en het baie potensiaal.

Met aankoms het die woonstel se yskas nie gewerk nie. Ons het die volgende dag eers 'n werkende yskas in woonstel gehad. Toe het die personeel in kombuis by die restaurant middag die krag laat trip. Is die woonstelle sonder krag tot omtrent 20:00 die aand. My man moes hul gaan help om die kragprobleem op te los. Die plek het regtig baie potensiaal, maar word baie swak bestuur, is 'n groot jammerte.

Maak an Jol is well located and has a lot of potential.

On arrival the apartment's fridge was not working. We only had a working fridge in the apartment the next day. Then the staff in the kitchen at the restaurant tripped the power in the afternoon. Are the apartments without power until about 8pm in the evening. My husband had to go and help them solve the power problem. The place really has a lot of potential, but is very poorly managed, which is a great shame.

Die kantoor dame was oulik. Dis omtrent dit.

Badkamers was in n goor toestand. Die bediendes het net toiletpapier ingesit elke dag, glad nie gevee of gewas nie, net een aand warm water gehad en die stort het vol water geloop, plumbing was sleg. Die rommel het die hele kampeerterrein vol gewaai en nie 'n enkele papier was opgetel in die 2 dae wat ons daar was nie. Ons het net 2 uit ons 4 dae gebly. Een van die gaste het 'n deur van 'n ander ingeskop, dis maar rowwe mense wat hier kamp/bly. Nie gepas vir families met klein kinders nie, die swembad is oulik, maar het 'n kroeg aan gekoppel, so jy hoor gereeld kras taal en die mense rook in die omtrek. Dalk vir 'n jonger groep mens beter gepas. Ek sal nie weer hier kamp nie.

The office lady was cute. That's about it.

Bathrooms were in a terrible condition. The maids only put in toilet paper every day, didn't sweep or wash at all, only had hot water one night and the shower was full of water, plumbing was bad. The litter blew all over the campsite and not a single piece of paper was picked up in the 2 days we were there. We only stayed 2 out of our 4 days. One of the guests kicked in a door of another, it's just rough people who camp/stay here. Not suitable for families with small children, the pool is cute, but has a bar attached, so you often hear foul language and the people smoke around. Maybe for a younger group of people better suited. I will not camp here again.

Sleg!

Hierdie was by verre die slegste en swakste verblyf waarby ek nog ooit geslaap het. Die dame waarby ons ingeboek het was ongeduldig en onbehulpsaam, dit was ons eerste keer in Sodwanabaai ons het vanaf haar versoek wat alles lekker is om daar te doen haar antwoord aan ons dat sy net daar werk en dat ons die jongmense moet vra. Die badkamers was 'n absolute nagmerrie, ons het 8 aande daar geslaap waarvan ek net 2 aande warm water gehad het. My kêrel in die mans se badkamer het geen warm water gehad nie! Die toiletpapier het die hele plek vol gelê en was glad nie skoon gemaak nie. Elke liewe keer wat ek gestort het, het ek enkel diepte in die water gestaan want die water dreineer nie. Die mansbadkamer het twee toilette, waarvan een verstop was die hele 8 dae wat ons daar was, die ander toilet het nie 'n toilet seat opgehad nie. Daar was geen kontrole by die kuierplek nie, die jongmense wat daar bo gekuier het was nie een dag voor 05:00 daar weg nie. Sal nie Maak 'n Jol vir enige iemand aanbeveel nie, maar Sodwanabaai het glad nie teleurgestel nie!

Bad!

This was by far the worst and worst accommodation I have ever slept at. The lady we checked in with was impatient and unhelpful, it was our first time in Sodwana Bay we requested from her what all the fun things to do there she replied to us that she only works there and that we should ask the young people. The bathrooms were an absolute nightmare, we slept there for 8 nights of which I only had hot water for 2 nights. My boyfriend in the men's bathroom had no hot water! The toilet paper was all over the place and had not been cleaned at all. Every single time I took a shower, I stood ankle deep in the water because the water didn't drain. The men's bathroom has two toilets, one of which was clogged the entire 8 days we were there, the other toilet did not have a toilet seat. There there was no check at the hangout, the young people hanging out up there were not gone before 05:00 a day. Would not recommend Maak 'n Jol to anyone, but Sodwana Bay did not disappoint at all!

Oord word nie behoorlik onderhou nie (gebreekte krane, warm water probleme, elektrisiteit probleme).

Geen aksie word geneem deur bestuur teen kampers wat tot in die vroeë oggend ure klipharde musiek speel nie. Ons eerste week was aanvaarbaar en ons het rustig gekamp. Die musiek van die kroeg area het ons geensins gepla nie. Die badkamer geriewe is gereeld skoongemaak. Die toestand van die badkamers (krane wat nie werk nie / geskeurde stort gordyne) is nie aanvaarbaar nie. Na Kersfees het ons nuwe kampbure gekry (10+ jong manne en dames). Met hul aankoms het hulle hul musiek kliphard aangesit en dit eers weer 3 uur die oggend afgesit. Dit het elke dag so aangehou. Ons het dit aan bestuur gerapporteer, maar dit het nie gehelp nie. Ons het toe maar besluit om 3 dae vroeër huistoe te kom aangesien ons doodmoeg in die dag was en dit nie meer aangenaam was om daar te kamp nie.

Resort is not properly maintained (broken faucets, hot water problems, electricity problems).

No action is taken by management against campers who play rock-hard music until the early hours of the morning. Our first week was acceptable and we camped peacefully. The music from the bar area did not bother us at all. The bathroom facilities were cleaned regularly. The condition of the bathrooms (taps not working / torn shower curtains) is not acceptable. After Christmas we got new camp neighbors (10+ young men and women). When they arrived, they turned on their music rock hard and didn't turn it off until 3 in the morning. It continued like this every day. We reported it to management but it didn't help. We then decided to come home 3 days earlier as we were dead tired during the day and it was no longer pleasant to camp there.

Glad nie tevrede nie.

Ons was in 2015 met vakansie by Maak-'n-Jol en het 'n fantastiese tyd gehad. Ons het gekamp en het geen probleme gehad met die fasiliteite nie. Hierdie Desember het ons hulle kamers bespreek en die plek was glad nie dieselfde nie. Dit was vuil en die bestuur was baie deurmekaar. Ons moes 'n deposito betaal wat ons nou nog nie terug ontvang het nie en elke keer as ons opvolg word daar gesê dit word vandag betaal. Die dreine was geblok en daar het riool in die shower opgestoot, asook deur die pype buite op die gras. Met hierdie tweede besoek, sal ek nie Maak-'n-Jol aan enige iemand voorstel nie. Die plek het baie agteruit gegaan vanaf my vorige besoek.

Not satisfied at all.

We were on holiday at Maak-'n-Jol in 2015 and had a fantastic time. We camped and had no problems with the facilities. This December we booked their rooms and the place was not the same at all. It was dirty and the management was very confused. We had to pay a deposit which we still haven't received back and every time we follow up it says it will be paid today. The drains were blocked and there was sewage coming up in the shower, as well as through the pipes outside onto the grass. On this second visit, I would not recommend Maak-'n-Jol to anyone. The place has deteriorated a lot since my last visit.

Nice place but not the accusations.

It's a very nice place, now was the 2nd time we were there. We had a nice house with a stoep and braai where we could sit and visit. We also liked the pool although the barmaid in the pool was not very happy with our children splashing water. The people (kids) who work there drink and hang out too much with the customers and get drunk with the customers, but it wasn't nice because then you don't get customer service. We drove early in the morning and put the key in the box near the gate (it had been driven over and was lying on the ground), about 9 o'clock that morning I got a call from the office lady to say that there was a lot things no longer in the cottage like the microwave, 2 plate stove and a few other things. I told the lady that there wasn't a microwave in the room but she wouldn't believe me, I said I would send pictures showing that there wasn't one in the room and that the owner would please let me know. have to call on video call so I can show her what was packed in my car so she can see we didn't take anything but after I called 2 times to talk to the owner I was told the owner will call me now but I did not hear from them again. The place also didn't have a list of things that needed to be there. I can't believe someone could make such false accusations and it made me very angry. I will never go back to that place again.

Bietjie klein maar lekker.

Die swembad is baie lekker en het goeie diens gekry. Het sommer in die swembad by die bar gesit en eet. Die eienaar was baie behulpsaam as ons vir iets gevra het. Hulle speel in die aande lekker musiek by die bar so dit was vir ons lekker. As jy wil kan jy bietjie gaan dans en pool speel. Die kamer was ook nie te bad nie maar ek dink net nie dit werk so lekker as ander mense ook daar slaap nie want die 3 kamers is teenmekaar en jy moet een braaier deel met die ander mense. Die badkamers is nie baie skoon nie. As ons weer sou Sodwana toe gaan sal ons weer daar bly maar sal dan in die groter huis bly wat 'n badkamer het.

A bit small but nice.

The pool is very nice and has received good service. Just sat in the pool at the bar and ate. The owner was very helpful when we asked for something. They play nice music at the bar in the evenings so it was nice for us. If you want you can go dancing and play pool. The room wasn't too bad either, but I just don't think it works as well if other people also sleep there because the 3 rooms are facing each other and you have to share one braai with the other people. The bathrooms are not very clean. If we were to go to Sodwana again we would stay there again but would then stay in the bigger house which has a bathroom.

If you want a jol, this is the place to be.

The camp sites are small, and not all are accessible for camping trailers. If you have a camping trailer, make sure it is mentioned before you make a booking. The camp sites are very close together and there is not really privacy. Maak 'n Jol is famous for its bar, and therefore there are always loud students in and out until midnight. We almost had a drunk student drive through our campsite. Showers can be maintained better, however was always clean. If you want a quiet getaway, this is not the place. However if you're up for a jol, I would definitely recommend this place.

Behalwe vir kampgronde wat vreeslik ongelyk is, was verblyf oor algemeen baie lekker!

Ons vakansie by Maak 'n Jol was regtig lekker! Het dit geniet. Sal dit beslis aan beveel vir ander!

Apart from camping grounds which are terribly uneven, accommodation was generally very nice!

Our holiday at Maak 'n Jol was really nice! Enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend it to others!

Verblyf was aanvaarbaar vir prys.

Swembad/kroegarea is die lokale uithangplek van meeste wat by Sodwana is. Die kos en die drank is buitensporig duur. Dit is en was duurder as meeste toprestaurante in die area wat ons besoek het.

Accommodation was acceptable for price.

Pool/bar area is the local hangout for most who are at Sodwana. The food and the drinks are exorbitantly expensive. It is and was more expensive than most top restaurants in the area we visited.

Gemaklik - word nie aanbeveel vir mense wat 4 tot 5-ster gewoond is nie.

Die kamers is gemaklik. Daar was net nie 'n yskas in ons eenheid soos wat die advertensie gesê het nie. Die dreine van die storte was ook verstop gewees, maar siende dat dit Desember was, kan mens seker verstaan. Nadat ons gekla het, was dit ook nie reggemaak nie.

Comfortable - not recommended for people who are 4 to 5 star accustomed.

The rooms are comfortable. There just wasn't a fridge in our unit as the advertisement said. The drains of the showers were also clogged, but since it was December, one can certainly understand. After we complained, it was not fixed either.

Heerlik.

Die mense is baie vriendelik, die swembad is skoon, die badkamers word elke dag goed skoongemaak. Lieflik, sal weer gaan en dit hoog aanbeveel. Nie vir die rustige stil mense nie.

Delicious.

The people are very friendly, the pool is clean, the bathrooms are cleaned well every day. Lovely, would go again and highly recommend. Not for the quiet quiet people.

Geen rus of ontspanningstyd vakansie.

Harde musiek vanaf kroeg/swembadarea van vroegdag tot lank na middernag. Geen respek of genade vir kampers, mens kan nie met jou vriende gesels of rus/slaap nie, dis dieselfde aanhoudende musiek oor en oor. Hek word ook nie toegemaak soos gesê word nie, mens voel glad nie veilig nie al is daar wag in die aand. Hy verstaan mens ook nie.

No rest or relaxation time vacation.

Loud music from bar/pool area from early morning until well after midnight. No respect or mercy for campers, you can't chat with your friends or rest/sleep, it's the same continuous music over and over. Gate is also not closed as said, one does not feel safe at all even if there is a guard in the evening. He doesn't understand people either.

Teleurstelling.

Plek lyk glad nie soos op die foto’s nie. Verwaarloos, vuil en onnet. Ontvangs was nie vreeslik verwelkomend nie. Inteendeel ons het in die reën daar aan gekom en die dame wat ons in geboek het het heeltyd gekla dat sy ons in die reën na ons slaap plek toe moes vat. Ons was so teleurgesteld in die plek dat ons die volgende oggend by 'n ander plek ingeboek het (amazing). Ons het nooit verwag of gevra om gerefund te word nie en dit so aanvaar. Ons wou net ons breakage terug hê maar André die eienaar wou aanvanklik nie eers dit vir ons terug gee nie. Hulle het eventually. Sal dit glad nie aanbeveel nie.

Disappointment.

Place does not look like the pictures. Neglected, dirty and untidy. Reception was not very welcoming. On the contrary, we arrived in the rain and the lady constantly complained that she had to take us to unit in the rain. We were so disappointed in the place that we booked that we booked into an amazing place the next morning. We never expected or asked to be refunded and accepted it. We just wanted to get our breakage deposit back but Andre, the owner, did not even want to give that back. They eventually did. Would not recommend it at all.
