Uitstekend. Meer as wat ek verwag het.

Cathy en Rodney het my baie gasvry ontvang. Die kamer, beddegoed en handdoeke was skoon en baie netjies. Pragtige bosveldomgewing.

Alles baie mooi en netjies.

Ons het dame wat ons ontvang het gevra of braaier buite gas was. Sy het bevestiging gegee. Dit was toe nie gas nie. Gelukkig kon ons nog ry om houtskool te gaan kry. Dit is die enigste kritiek. Verder alles baie lekker en skoon.

Everything very nice and neat.

We asked the lady who received us if the braai was out of gas. She gave confirmation. It was not gas then. Fortunately, we could still drive to get charcoal. This is the only criticism. Furthermore, everything is very nice and clean.

Wat 'n wonderlike en rustige ervaring in die bos.

Ons het aanvanklik beplan om net 'n paar dae in Hoedspruit deur te bring, maar toe ek vir Mawusi Lodge raakgelees het was die besluit maklik en het ons sommer 10 dae gebly. Rod en Cathy is perfekte gashere en maak seker dat alles in orde is terwyl Mogau alles netjies hou. Die kombuis is baie goed ingerig en die lugverkoeling hou die hitte uit. Die rustige omgewing het al die spoke van 2020 verdryf, en tussen die njalas en vlakvarke by die watergat en geroep van die hiëna het 'n kalmte oor ons gespoel. Daar is ook heelwat om te doen in die omgewing en Rod kan vir julle aanbevelings en besprekings doen. Ons kan beslis Mawusi Lodge aanbeveel.

What a wonderful and peaceful experience in the woods.

We initially planned to spend only a few days in Hoedspruit, but when I read about Mawusi Lodge the decision was easy and we stayed for 10 days. Rod and Cathy are perfect hosts and make sure everything is in order while Mogau keeps everything tidy. The kitchen is very well equipped and the air conditioning keeps the heat out. The peaceful surroundings banished all the ghosts of 2020, and between the nyala and warthogs at the waterhole and the cries of the hyena, a calmness washed over us. There is also a lot to do in the area and Rod can make recommendations and reservations for you. We can definitely recommend Mawusi Lodge.

It was awesome.

We enjoyed our stay with my friends and wouldn't mind to recommend friends and family to Mawusi Bush lodge. The house is clean and it feels like home away from home. The owners are nice and welcoming. Actually they are from heaven. I wouldn't mind to visit again in future. Mawusi is the best of them all.

Geseënd in die skepping.

Die akkomodasie is puik, skoon, netjies en mooi en baie gerieflik ingerig. Die landgoed is fantasties met verskeie kleiner wildspesies wat jou kom groet. Ons het vanaf ons stoep kameelperde, blouwildebeeste, koedoes, waterbokke, steenbokkies en vlakvarke gesien. Neushoringvoëls het in die oggende op die stoep kom kuier. Dit was werklik 'n wonderlike naweek vol wonderlike ervarings in 'n pragtige plek. Ons sal enige tyd weer terugkeer.

Blessed in this creation.

The accommodation is excellent, clean, neat, beautiful and well-equipped. The estate is fantastic, with smaller game species coming to greet you. We saw giraffes, buffalo, kudu, water buck, steenbuck and warthogs. Crowned hornbill visited us on the porch in the morning. It truly was a wonderful weekend full of wonderful experiences in a beautiful place. We will come back anytime.

Briljant!

The Bushbabies Elite Lodge is 'n hoogs aanbeveelbaar! Cathy is 'n fantastiese gasvrou en Vivien wat ons ontvang het is goud werd vir die instansie. Die akkommodasie is baie goed toegerus en die netjieste, skoonste verblyf waarin ons nog tuisgegaan het. Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate is 'n pragtige, veilige uitbreiding met die gerief van die dorp op jou voorstop, maar die rustigheid van die mees afgeleë bestemming! Ek sal enige tyd hierdie billike verblyf met vrymoedigheid aanbeveel!

Brilliant!

The Bushbabies Elite Lodge is a highly recommended! Cathy is a fantastic hostess and Vivien we received is worth its weight in gold for the establishment. The accommodation is very well equipped and the neatest, cleanest accommodation we have ever stayed in. Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate is a beautiful, secure extension with the convenience of town on your doorstep, but the tranquility of the most remote destination! I would recommend this affordable accommodation with confidence any time!

Totally guest orientated! Very good value for money.

We stayed at The Bushbabies for 3 nights & 4 days and it was still too short! Even if we had complicated arrangements, it was no problem for them. We invited friends to join us for a braai, no problem. We asked for laundry services, no problem. We had a wonderful stay! I have never come across a guest house that is so neat and fully equipped together with service with a smile and from the heart. We have previously stayed in other Hoedspruit guesthouses, but we will never stay in another guest house whenever we go back to Hoedspruit again. Rodney, Cathy & Vivienne – thank you kindly for spoiling us! It is appreciated. Totally guest orientated!

Dit was absoluut die moeite werd om daar tuis te gegaan het - waarde vir geld!

Dit was werklik lekker om by The Bushbabies bly. Wanneer mens met vakansie gaan moet jy kan uit rus en ontspan en dis presies wat ons beleef het. Om daar te bly beleef mens 'n klein stukkie van die bosveld paradys werklik iets besonders. Rodney en Cathy was werklik baie vriendelik en het ons dadelik tuis laat voel. Ek sal verseker weer daar wil bly as ons in die omgewing is. Ek gee hulle 5 ster!

I will definitely want to stay there again if we are in the area. I give them 5 star!

Dit verdien definitief vyf sterre. Dit is ongelooflik skoon en die beste gehalte van alles kry jy daar. Ek sal die plek vir enige iemand aanbeveel wat die rustigheid van die bosveld nodig het. Jy voel sommer weer lus vir die lewe na die wegbreek.

Die verblyf is netjies en ruim en die mense is vriendelik.

Verblyf is perfek vir 'n gesin wat 'n selfsorgvakansie wil neem, maar was ook goed vir een persoon om te gebruik. Kamers is netjies met ruim en suite-badkamers. Kombuis is ruim met alles wat benodig word en die leefarea is toegerus met 'n televisie, etenstafel, lugversorging en dakwaaier. Die mense is baie vriendelik en tegemoetkomend.
