Asemrowend en ontspannend!

Baie warm gewees maar ons het baie lekker ontspan en die aircon het oortyd gewerk. Die ligging is wonderlik en baie naby aan die swembaddens, winkeltjie ens. Ons sal definitief weer gaan!

Breathtaking and relaxing!

It was very hot but we had a great time relaxing and the aircon worked overtime. The location is great and very close to the pools, shop etc. We will definitely go again!

Great accommodation, serious lack of attention to detail.

Arrived to find no toilet paper - essential after a long drive. When questioned the next morning, the cleaning lady said she had run out of toilet paper - yet she was able to provide two new rolls. The king-size bed was wide, but queen-size in length. I had specifically said I was over 2 m tall, and was assured that the bed would be king-size. Not a deal breaker, but irritating. Further, the reading lamp at the head of the bed was loose, and could not be moved away from my head when lying down. The DSTV bouquet was so limited that it was clearly the cheapest option, not in keeping with the standard of accommodation. While it was great to have the owner's telephone number for problems, it was also futile since there was no signal for the cell phone. Minor issues, but irritating.

Good.

The safe wasn't working and the drain of the toilet stinks. The kettle had white stuff inside, couldn't use it and it wasn't the kettle in the picture. But otherwise, it was good.

Spanninglose naweek.

Rustigheid met al die diertjies wat daar rondloop. Fasiliteite uitstekend. Die verblyf was baie aangenaam. Al die fasiliteite was wonderlik. Die personeel is amazing. Ons het ontspan en die wild geniet. Die chalet is skoon en mooi. Jammer vir die perdeby nes by die stoep. Maar die varkies het ons ongelooflik entertain.

Stressless weekend.

Tranquility with all the animals walking around there. Facilities excellent. The stay was very pleasant. All the facilities were great. The staff is amazing. We relaxed and enjoyed the wildlife. The chalet is clean and beautiful. Sorry for the wasp nest by the porch. But the piggies entertained us incredibly.

Rustig, veilig en baie om te doen.

Kan lekker binne die gebied rondry en wild besigtig, swem, braai, van alles vergeet en net ontspan.

Ons het baie lekker gebly en kan nie kla oor die verblyf nie. Baie wild gesien en die tyd geniet.

Die misverstand oor die verblyf was nogal onaangenaam. Ons het toe in 267-8 gewoon en hul het dit vinnig uitsorteer. Ek dink Mabalingwe kan heelwat meer moeite doen met die tuine, blare en netheid by Elephant Lodge.

We had a great stay and cannot complain about the accommodation. Saw a lot of wildlife and enjoyed the time.

The misunderstanding about the accommodation was quite unpleasant. We lived in 267-8 at the time and they sorted it out quickly. I think Mabalingwe could put a lot more effort into the gardens, foliage and cleanliness at Elephant Lodge.

Pragtige plek, rustig en waarde vir geld.

Die eenheid is baie mooi ingerig en was 100% reg vir ons. Die stoep buite was lekker gerieflik en die lapa was perfek. Plekkie is baie gerieflik geleë naby die winkel en ontspanningsarea. Regtig die moeite werd.

Baie rustig. Die swembad-area is mooi en netjies.

Dit sal net gaaf wees indien daar voorsiening kan gemaak word in die geval van reën. Mens kan dan nie die boma gebruik nie, en daar is nie oond in kombuis om vleis voor te berei nie. ’n Ingeboude braai op stoep sal ’n pluspunt wees.

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

Very calm. The pool area is nice and tidy.

It would only be nice if provision could be made in the event of rain. One cannot then use the boma, and there is no oven in the kitchen to prepare meat. A built-in braai on the porch would be a plus.

Heerlike ligging en pret geriewe.

Alhoewel die chalet nie reg was toe ons arriveer het so ongeveer 3uur nie, was die skoonmaakdame baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die toilet sitplek is los gewees en nie alle goedjies was daar soos op die lys nie, daar was bv. net twee vurke, geen toiletpapier nie. Klein goedjies, wat nie veel gepla het nie. Alles en alles het ons dit steeds vreeslik geniet.

Great location and fun amenities.

Although the chalet was not ready when we arrived around 3am, the cleaning lady was very friendly and helpful. The toilet seat was loose and not all things were there as on the list, there were e.g. only two forks, no toilet paper. Little things, which didn't bother much. All and all we still enjoyed it tremendously.

Ruimte vir verbetering.

Beddegoed en handoeke was nie vuil nie maar ook nie baie vars nie. Geen seep in eenheid, anders goed. Die La Ferna restaurant was glad nie goed nie. Personeel nie baie vriendelik nie. Hambuger ook nie goed nie met 'n haar in. Heelwat drank by verskeie plekke en baie mense wat hulle redelik sleg gedra en moes selfs aanmerkings hoor van besope mans aan my vrou. Bobbins van die elektriese heining lê orals in die pad met stukke draad aan wat bande beskadig.

Room for improvement.

Bed linen and towels were not dirty but not very fresh either. No soap in unit, otherwise good. The La Ferna restaurant was not good at all. Staff not very friendly. Hambuger also not good with a hair in it. Lots of booze at various places and lots of people behaving quite badly and even had to hear comments from drunken men to my wife. Bobbins from the electric fence lay everywhere in the road with pieces of wire damaging tires.
