Heerlike vakansie plek om te rus en naby aan die natuur te wees.

Baie lekker gebly. Die enigste klagte is dat ons eenheid se buitelig nie gewerk het nie en mens kan nie die stoof gebruik nie, want dit trip die krag.

Great holiday place to rest and be close to nature.

Very nice stay. The only complaint is that our unit's exterior light didn't work and you can't use the stove because it trips the power.

Host's demeanor and lack of communication detracted from overall experience.

I am deeply disappointed with my overall booking experience at this unit. While I received good service from the agency team and the cleaning staff at the establishment, the service provided by the host severely overshadowed these positives. Firstly, despite numerous requests, the host failed to respond to my emails regarding the bed configuration to be made into a king-size bed. Secondly, I did not receive check-in instructions prior to my arrival, resulting in confusion at the resort's reception. When I contacted the host shortly before check-in, I was met with attitude and informed that the instructions would be sent via WhatsApp. Fortunately, I had signal reception at the resort, but my husband, lacking coverage, would have been unable to receive these messages. Additionally, upon arrival, I discovered that the unit number provided did not match the one provided by the host, who only explained the change after I questioned it. The new room had a wasp nest above the door, differed from the one I booked (especially the bathroom), and lacked the requested king-sized bed. Despite multiple attempts to contact the host, I was met with rudeness when addressing these issues. Eventually, after being provided with another room, the experience improved slightly, with the cleaning staff assisting in fixing the bed. However, the host's demeanor and lack of communication significantly detracted from the overall experience and diminished the positive service provided by the agency team.

Amazing, value for my money.

Mabalingwe is like our second home, this unit was beautifully located and had everything we needed. Close to the pools and entertainment area. The only disappointment is the lack of communication from the host; she takes ages to respond to any communication and it almost caused a problem, aside from that our stay was amazing.

Sien bo.

Verblyf was lekker, die kombuisarea is net baie ongemaklik, veral met 'n wasbak buite. Baie min spasie om bv. tee, koffie, suiker, en brood of klaar kos neer te sit. Ons het lekker gerus, maar indien ons vir langer as nou wil gaan, sou ek verkies om 'n groter eenheid te bespreek.

See above.

Stay was nice, the kitchen area is just very uncomfortable, especially with a sink outside. Very little space to e.g. tea, coffee, sugar, and bread or prepared food. We had a nice rest, but if we want to go longer than now, I would prefer to book a bigger unit.

Restful.

Missed the following: egg lifter. hooks in bathroom for towels. railing by step against wall. My mother is 80 and had to help her all the time with stairs, if there was a railing it wouldn't be necessary. small folding table to work on with food and take outside at the sink when washing dishes.

Lekker alhoewel daar 'n bietjie "liefde" kort.

Kuiers op Elephant Lodge is altyd baie lekker. Eenheid Kiewiet kort 'n bietjie baie liefde en aandag aangesien ons opgelet het dat daar 'n paar "onderhouds" areas was. Die voordeur (uit na die braai area) kon nie heeltemal toemaak nie (dit lyk asof die hout "geswel" het a.g.v. reënwater dalk). Die agterdeur het 'n hakkie, maar die hakkie is stukkend en afgebreek. Die eenheid is wel nog van die oorspronklike "Tau Lodge" eenhede met basiese breekware en 'n baie klein yskas/vrieskas. Die eenheid was wel skoon met aankoms (die lugversorger het nie gewerk nie). "Loadshedding" wat buite almal se beheer was, is maar soos ooral in SA 'n groot probleem, maar ons was bly om te sien daar was 2 herlaaibare ligte beskikbaar vir die donker. Alhoewel dit gereën het (en ons braai gestaak het), het ons opgemerk dat die braai nie skoongemaak was van die vorige gaste nie. In elk geval sou ons nie kon braai in die braai area nie aangesien dit vuil was. Nogsteeds baie lekker gekuier op Mabalingwe.

Nice although a little "love" is missing.

Visits to Elephant Lodge are always very enjoyable. Unit Kiewiet needs a bit of love and attention as we noticed that there were a few "maintenance" areas. The front door (out to the braai area) could not close completely (it seems as if the wood has "swelled" due to rainwater perhaps). The back door has a catch, but the catch is broken and broken off. The unit is still one of the original "Tau Lodge" units with basic crockery and a very small fridge/freezer. The unit was clean upon arrival (the air conditioner was not working). "Loadshedding" which was out of everyone's control is a big problem like everywhere else in SA, but we were happy to see there were 2 rechargeable lights available for the dark. Although it was raining (and our barbeque was cancelled), we noticed that the barbeque had not been cleaned from the previous guests. In any case, we would not be able to braai in the braai area as it was dirty. Still had a great time on Mabalingwe.

Mabalingwe was fantastic! Sal volgende keer net 'n ander eenheid bespreek.

Die eenheid was nie vooraf skoongemaak nie. Baie belangrik, daar was geen broodmes, bottelopmaker of blikopmaker nie. Ek het die besturende agent laat weet, boodskap is gelees, maar nie eers geantwoord nie. Ek moes die aand voor ons moes inboek rondbel om inligting oor sleutels en ligging te bekom, daar was geen kommunikasie voor dit.

Mabalingwe was fantastic! Will just book another unit next time.

The unit was not pre-cleaned. Very importantly, there was no bread knife, bottle opener or can opener. I let the managing agent know, message was read but not even answered. I had to call around the night before we had to check in to get information about keys and location, there was no communication before that.

Was ontnugter deur skade van brand aan die ekostelsel asook aan eienaars se eien.

Eenheid het alles wat jy benodig en is soos aangedui. Was weer eens 'n probleem om die dame wat die eenheid bestuur, te telefoneer om die kode te kry om by die verblyf in te kom, asook die kode om by die eenheid se sleutel uit te kom. Sy beantwoord nie haar foon nie en ek moes vra om met haar in kontak te kom. Ons het 50 minute by die ingang na die verblyf gewag voordat ons uiteindelik gehelp is. Dit is onaanvaarbaar en behoort aangespreek te word. Ons het dieselfde ervaring gehad met ons besoek aan die verblyf in Maart vanjaar.

Was disillusioned by damage from fire to the ecosystem as well as to owners' own.

Unit has everything you need and is as shown. Again was a problem phoning the lady who runs the unit to get the code to get into the accommodation as well as the code to get to the unit key. She doesn't answer her phone and I had to ask to get in touch with her. We waited 50 minutes at the entrance to the accommodation before we were finally helped. This is unacceptable and should be addressed. We had the same experience when we visited the accommodation in March this year.

Presies wat op die foto's is - is wat jy kry.

Netjies en skoon gewees. Ons deur se slot was net stukkend so ons kon nie die deur sluit nie en ons het gesukkel om uit te vind wanneer dit loadshedding is, maar het toe een van die ander gaste gevra. Verder het die aircon, waaier, TV en DStv goed gewerk. Ons het lekker warm water gehad en die yskas het lekker koud gemaak. Ons het vergeet om koffie en melk saam te vat, maar verder was daar toiletpapier, handdoeke en 'n ekstra warm kombers.

Exactly what is in the photos - is what you get.

Neat and clean. Our door's lock was just broken so we couldn't lock the door and we struggled to find out when it was loadshedding but then asked one of the other guests. Furthermore, the aircon, fan, TV and DStv worked well. We had nice hot water and the fridge was nice and cold. We forgot to take coffee and milk with us but there was toilet paper, towels and an extra warm blanket.

Het al baie in Elephant Lodge gebly. Eerste keer in die eenheid. Sal beslis weer daar bespreek. DStv is 'n bonus en 'n groot TV. Heel naweek Olifante gesoek, toe kuier hul Sondag namiddag tot later vir ons in Elephant Lodge. Wat 'n belewenis. Kan die eenheid beslis aanbeveel.

'n Meer bekostigbare manier om Mabalingwe te ervaar.

Ons het dit geniet en sal weer besoek. Wonderlike diere en voëls gesien in die reservaat en daar is baie om te doen. Die huisie is eenvoudig maar maar dit het als wat jy nodig het. Dis nie baie privaat nie, twee huisies reg langs mekaar geskei deur dun hout raam. Die ander gaste in area het baie geraas. Die braaiplek is ver van die huisie af. Kommunikasie met eienaars was goed en hulle kon meeste probleme uitsorteer.

A more affordable way to experience Mabalingwe.

We enjoyed it and will visit again. Wonderful animals and birds seen in the reserve and there is a lot to do. The house is simple but it has everything you need. It's not very private, two houses right next to each other separated by a thin wooden frame. The other guests in area made a lot of noise. The braai place is far from the house. Communication with owners was good and they were able to sort out most problems.

Dit was 'n lekker kuier, maar die eenheid is bietjie verwaarloos, ons deur kon nie oopsluit nie en die mense wat ons kom help het, het die deur met 'n mes vir ons oopgemaak. Baie lekker ligging, baie diere kom kuier daar. Ek sou net voorstel dat daar gekyk word na instandhouding.

It was a nice visit, but the unit was a bit neglected, our door could not be unlocked and the people who came to help us opened the door for us with a knife. Very nice location, many animals visit there. I would just suggest looking into maintenance.

Felt like home away from home.

We really enjoyed our stay! Saw amazing animals on our drives, felt so safe (with regard to Covid) with the contactless check in and everyone at the resort wore masks and kept their distance. Apart from the main bedroom fan needing a bit of repairs so it’s not so wobbly- we were very happy. Will definitely be back soon!

Dit was heerlik rustig.

'n Paar goed van uiterste belang: Die gordyne is erg vuil. Badkamerlig werk nie. Badkamerdeur se handvatsel is gebreek. Aircon werk nie, mag nie vensters oopmaak vir diere. Kombuisware baie gechip. Potte kas se deur is gebreek sukkel om oop te maak. Dit is die algehele netheid wat grens aan verwaarlosing en vinnig aandag kort. Die wildrit was eers chaos, te veel mense bespreek vir voertuie.

It was wonderfully peaceful.

A few things of utmost importance: The curtains are very dirty. Bathroom light not working. Bathroom door handle is broken. Aircon not working, may not open windows for animals. Kitchenware very chipped. Potte cabinet's door is broken, difficult to open. It is the overall cleanliness that borders on neglect and quickly lacks attention. The game drive was chaos at first, too many people booked for vehicles.

Lovely cute chalet with lots of wildlife.

We had a great time with a lot of wildlife coming right up to our chalet (nyala, warthog, bush pigs), we were even fortunate to have a herd of elephant walk directly past our braai area.

Was quite enjoyable and affordable.

The cleaners need to "spring clean" once in a while, then there should not be spider webs on the chairs.

Veilig, netjies, lekker privaat en baie diere gesien in en om woongebied.

Beveel dit aan. Alhoewel dit warm was is die lugversorging goed. Die plek was skoon en (Tarentaal en nie Kiewiet nie) is netjies behalwe vir 'n paar klein defekte.

Safe, tidy, nice and private and many animals seen in and around residential area.

Recommend it. Although it was hot, the air conditioning is good. The place was clean and (Tarentaal and not Kiewiet) is tidy except for a few small defects.

Was a very nice place.

Was very nice and relaxing. Only thing is at night to find the place. On the first night it was hard as the numbers are too small and we had no map.

This unit could be a gem, but slightly neglected. Curtains by door to front exit very dirty. Couch also needs cleaning. Dustin lid broken off.

A little TLC could turn this unit into a gem.

Baie lekker.

Heerlik gebly en diens was baie goed. Alles baie netjies en sal dit aanbeveel vir 'n wonderlike wegbreek in die bosveld met uitstekende geriewe en fasiliteite.

Baie gerieflik!

Dit was baie lekker! Breekgoed was net vol stof, omdat dit op 'n kas staan.

It was very nice! Baby clothes were just full of dust, because they are on a cupboard.
