Nice but could be better.

Swimming pool loungers broken and uncomfortable and dirty. We kept being told we cannot have ice as they have run out. This was frustrating. and drinks from fridges were warm. No sweetener and myself and my son can only drink sweetener and not sugar. The menu for dinner consists of the same 4 meals for all 3 nights we were there. No verity. It was tasty but we needed to go to a different establishment to have something else to eat. No kids meals at all available. They needed to order from the main menu and the meals are not something kids really eat. Safety is a concern as anyone can enter very easily. It made me feel uneasy the whole stay. I am very safety conscious. Joseph and Washington were very friendly and tried their best to make us happy. They are amazing guys.

Lieflike, rustige atmosfeer.

'n Wonderlike stil plek so tussen die berge waar mens net kan wegbreek, vir 'n naweek ontspan in die natuur. Die diens en personeel is puik en hulle gaan uit hul pad uit vir 'n mens. Die eenhede is ook baie mooi skoon en netjies. Sal definitief ook die restaurant aanbeveel, die kos is puik.

Lovely, peaceful atmosphere.

A wonderful quiet place between the mountains where you can just break away, relax in nature for a weekend. The service and staff are great and they go out of their way for a person. The units are also very nice clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend the restaurant as well, the food is great.

Heartwarming.

My stay at Makoya was phenomenal. Staff members, Karabo and Yusuf, made it extra special. They were always willing to listen to our needs and went the extra mile in suggesting some of the activities we participate in. The meals prepped by the restaurant were also great. While there is no TV, if you're looking for some down time, this is definitely the place to go to. The place is good for long stays too. My 10 year-old daughter enjoyed some time off with her mother and was never bored. Will definitely be going back there again. Kudos to you Raymond and your family for a lovely and warm place.

Goeie diens.

Die diens van die staf was altyd behulpsaam en vriendelik. Die kamers was gemaklik en netjies. Die restaurant se kos was goed voorberei and die spyskaart het genoeg keuses gehad. Let wel op die foto's is dit nie duidelik dat die akkommodasie oor verskeie geboue versprei is nie, wat beslis vir meer privaatheid gesorg het as wat ons verwag het.

Good service.

The service from the staff was always helpful and friendly. The rooms were comfortable and tidy. The restaurant's food was well prepared and the menu had enough choices. Please note from the photos it is not clear that the accommodation is spread over several buildings, which certainly made for more privacy than we expected.

Fantastiese ervaring. Het baie lekker geslaap.

Die diens was puik gewees, ons het 'n troue gehad wat 3 uur begin het en wou vroeër inklok omdat ons vroeg gery het. Hulle het glad nie 'n probleem gehad om ons vroeër te laat inklok nie. Die kamers was so netjies en skoon. Die stort se water was glad nie lekker nie, maar dit is okay. Die ontbyt die volgende offend was verskriklik smaaklik, die diens puik. Ons sal beslis weer besoek en volgende keer bietjie langer bly.

Fantastic experience. Slept very well.

The service was great, we had a wedding that started at 3 o'clock and wanted to check in earlier because we were driving early. They had no problem letting us check in earlier at all. The rooms were so neat and clean. The shower water was not nice at all, but that's okay. The breakfast the next day was delicious, the service excellent. We will definitely visit again and stay a little longer next time.

Pragtig, rustig, vriendelike diens.

Van bespreking to uitklok was dit ‘n baie aangename ervaring om met Mokoya se personeel te werk. Hulle is verskriklik behulpsaam en vriendelik, en het ons sommer dadelik laat tuis voel. Die aandete en ontbyt was heerlik en ons het ook hulle staproete geniet. Dit is maklik genoeg vir die hele gesin om saam te stap. Dit is ook duidelik dat die perseel goed versorg word.

R1500 per nag baie duur vir wat hul offer.

Olivia en Peter is ‘n wonderlike gasheer en vrou en hul is trots op hul werk. Die lodge se tuine lapa is baie swak onderhou. Speelrame en area vir kinders- verwaarloos! Mens besef daar is ’n waterskaarste, maar tog onderhou mede lodges hul tuine. Die eerste kamer wat aan ons allokeer is, is ‘n baksteen breedte van die restaurant (die “agterkamer”) Geen uitsig. Baie eenvoudig. Peter het ons verskuif na kamer 13, netjies maar glad nie die standaard wat jy sou verwag vir R1500 per nag met ontbyt ingesluit nie. Ons kamer kyk uit op huidige bouwerk - tydelik, maar 'n jammerte. Beperkte spyskaart (geen pryse gelys nie), maar van hoë gehalte. Die lapa- rusarea nie doeltreffend gemeubileer vir gaste om rustig te sit en die buitelewe en uitsig te geniet nie - verwaarloos. Dit was ons 12 jaar huweliksherdenking soos genoem aan Hayley - ons verwagtinge was ongelukkig nie ontmoet nie.

Translate to English.

R1500 per night very expensive for what they offer.

Olivia and Peter are a wonderful host and wife and they take pride in their work. The lodge's gardens are poorly maintained. Play frames and area for children - neglected! One realizes that there is a water shortage, but fellow lodges still maintain their gardens. The first room allocated to us is a brick width from the restaurant (the "back room") No view. Very simple. Peter moved us to room 13, tidy but not at all the standard you would expect for R1500 a night with breakfast included. Our room overlooks current construction - temporary, but a pity. Limited menu (no prices listed), but of high quality. The lap rest area not efficiently furnished for guests to sit quietly and enjoy the outdoors and view - neglected. It was our 12 year wedding anniversary as mentioned to Hayley - unfortunately our expectations were not met.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback, all constructive criticism is appreciated.
We are sorry to hear that the room did not meet your expectations. When we send the confirmation of the booking we give you the room number and we suggest that you view the room on our website and on our virtual tour, this we do to prevent guests from either being disappointed or to ensure that they know what they have booked.
Thank you for the compliments on Peter and Olivia – we are very proud of them and will certainly pass on the positive comments.
The building that you saw will be our new lounge area to ensure a comfortable relaxing retreat spot to sit and enjoy the scenery and surrounds, as we realise that the lapa is more suited for functions.
Regrettably water shortage is a problem as the Magalies River has also dried up. Holding thumbs for some rain soon.
We have touched base with you personally to offer compensation for you dissatisfaction. We hope to welcome you back to Mokoya Lodge soon.

Ons het lekker gebly vir die naweek. Die kamers is net ongelooflik warm en daar is geen air con. Die stort lek water so die hele badkamer is vol water as mens klaar gestort het. Die toilet flush nie ordentlik nie, die parkering is te ver van jou chalet of kamer af.

Dear Ilze
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We are sorry to hear that your stay at the lodge was not up to par. We did try to accommodate your last minute changes with preference to different rooms to the best of our ability. Room 20 is a brand new room. Unfortunately, the air-conditioning has not yet been installed, but it should not have any plumbing issues. Please note that this information has been passed on to our concerned staff and will be taken care of. Despite this, we hope to be able to welcome you back in the future.
