Family with young children

Ons het 'n huis gedeel met ons kinders en kleinkinders. Daar was min te doen vir kinders. Swempoel is klein.

Dit is duur en ek het meer verwag vir die prys. Kwaliteit van beddens is swak. Geriewe om self koffie te maak en skoon te maak is swak. Daar is nie veel te doen, daar is min wild. Wildbewaarders se kennis was goed en hulle was vriendelik. Aandete was goed.

We shared a home with our children and grandchildren. There was little for children to do. Swimming pool is small.

It is expensive and I expected more for the price. Quality of beds is poor. Facilities for making coffee and cleaning yourself are poor. There is not much to do, there is little wildlife. Game wardens' knowledge was good and they were friendly. Dinner was good.

Not worth the price.

From the moment we arrived we didn't feel any sense of welcome. This so called 4 star lodge had poor service from the start. They didn't assist us with our luggage on arrival, never came to clean the room or provide fresh towels. My wife asked the barman for a coffee (no other guests were around) and he told her it's down in the eating area. A better response would've been to go make her some coffee. Just a very unpleasant experience and I definitely won't return again and it's not 4 star in the slightest. It sucks to write a negative review but it was very poor to non existent from a service level and 4 star standards. Not worth the money.

Baie netjies en mooi, ongelooflike vriendelike personeel en ongelukkig nie beïndruk met die bestuur nie.

Ons was ongelukkig glad nie beïndruk met die bestuur(der) van die lodge nie. Hul praat ook sleg van ander lodges in dieselfde reservaat. Die personeel is nie goed opgelei nie, hoewel die personeel ongelooflik vriendelik van natuur is en uit hul pad gaan vir hul gaste, benodig hul wel heelwat opleiding. Die lodge is baie netjies en rustig.

Very neat and beautiful, incredibly friendly staff but unfortunately not impressed with the management.

Unfortunately, we were not impressed with the management of the lodge. They spoke poorly of other lodges in the same reserve. The staff is not well trained but they are incredibly friendly and will go out of their way for the guests, still they need a lot of training. The lodge is very tidy and tranquil.

Fantasties! Is ook baie sentraal om omgewing te verken.

Wat 'n heerlike ervaring. Die verblyf en etes was baie goed, maar die personeel moet uitgesonder word. Altyd gereed om jou tyd saam met hulle onvergeetlik te maak. Ons het lanklaas sulke vriendelike gasvrye mense ontmoet. Dit was letterlik: "Your wish is our command". Baie dankie aan elkeen wat ons tyd daar onvergeetlik gemaak het. See you soon!

What a lovely experience. The accommodation and meals were very good, but the staff need to be exhalted. They are always ready to help and make your stay an unforgettable one. It's been a long time since we met such friendly and hospitable people. It was literally "Your wish is my command!" Thank you to each and everyone who made our stay memorable. See you soon!

Lekker gebly en baie lekker geëet.

Pezulu was besig om van eienaars te verander gedurende ons besoek. Daar is bietjie opknappingswerk nodig, maar sien uit om te sien hoe dit sal verander met die nuwe eienaar! Die kos en diens was fantasties!

Pezulu was changing hands during our visit. It needs some renovation work, but look forward to seeing how it will change with the new owner! The food and service were fantastic!

Die boomhuise is 'n aangename alternatief.

Lugversorging is 'n noodsaaklikheid in daardie soort klimaat. Daar is 'n probleem met die waterdruk wat stort 'n frustrerende aktiwiteit maak. Wildritte vir die Groot 5 gebeur op ander plekke wat 'n verdere reis nodig maak, en dit kan lastig wees.

The tree houses are a pleasant alternative.

Air conditioning is a necessity in that kind of climate. There is a problem with the water pressure that makes showering a frustrating activity. Game drives for the Big 5 happen in other places that require a further trip, and this can be troublesome.

Lekker gekuier.

Inligting op die webtuiste is misleidend. Die groot vyf is nie op die terrein nie. Dit kan slegs deur wildritte op naburige plase besigtig word. Buitestorte is wonderlik, net bietjie koud en oop vir die winter. Ek vermoed daar word in die nabye omgewing gejag en die wild is baie skrikkerig en verwilderd. Die beskrywing spog ook met die voëlbevolking, ons was teleurgesteld. Ons is ook deurnag geteister deur blaffende honde en dit is beslis nie aangenaam in die bos nie. Buitelanders kry beslis voorkeur-behandeling hier.

Have a nice time.

Information on the website is misleading. The big five are not on site. It can only be viewed through game drives on neighboring farms. Outdoor showers are great, just a little cold and open for the winter. I suspect there is hunting in the immediate area and the wildlife is very scary and feral. The description also boasts of the bird population, we were disappointed. We were also harassed by barking dogs throughout the night and it is certainly not pleasant in the forest. Foreigners definitely get preferential treatment here.

The place and service were awesome.

We thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay there, and would recommend the place to everyone, it was a fantastic experience and there was nothing better than sitting on the balcony on a swing chair looking out over the treetops.

Ek sal Pezulu vir enige iemand aanbeveel wat stilte soek.

Stilte, stilte geen TV, radio ons het baie daarvan gehou. Die uitstappies was net so lekker ─ die wildrit en die staproete. Die huis was lekker groot, soveel spasie. Baie mooi.

I would recommend Pezulu to anyone looking for silence.

Silence, silence no TV, radio we liked it very much. The excursions were just as fun ─ the game drive and the hiking trail. The house was nice and big, so much space. Very pretty.

Baie teleurgesteld.

Dit is 'n skoon plek en van die werk-mense is vreeslik vriendelik, maar ek hou nie daarvan om vir my kos hande te klap nie en ook nie om soos 'n korporaal stil gemaak te word om die spyskaart te hoor nie. Hulle kan gerus 'n klein menu op die 4 tafels sit wat daar is. My dag fooi het my kos ingesluit. Ontbyt was baie teleurstellend aangesien ek glad nie van koue eiers hou nie. Middagete was ek rasend honger omdat ek nie die koue ontbyt geëet het nie en toe kry ek 'n toebroodjie om te eet. Die poedings is baie lekker. Die Family Tree House is glad nie wat ek verwag het nie en ek is baie teleurgesteld. Vir my was dit nie 'n familie-eenheid nie aangesien my badkamer buite was en my kind se kamer 'n heeltemal ander huisie was. Ons was nie saam as 'n gesin nie. Pezulu kan op hulle inligting aandui dat 'n gewone voertuig nie sommer daar sal kan kom nie en 'n bakkie of SUV die verkose voertuig mag wees. Die enigste rede hoekom ons met ons SUV gery het is omdat ek moeg was, anders het ons met die gewone voertuig gery en sou nie kon inkom nie. Daar is nie 'n yskas in die kamer nie en ek voel dit is nodig. Die kroeg is ongelooflik duur en jy word gedwing om daar te koop aangesien jy nie koue koeldrank of water kan aanhou nie.

Very disappointed.

It's a clean place and some of the people working are very friendly, but I don't like clapping for my food or being silenced like a corporal to hear the menu. They can put a small menu on the 4 tables that are there. My day fee included my food. Breakfast was very disappointing as I don't like cold eggs at all. At lunch I was very hungry because I didn't eat the cold breakfast and then I got a sandwich to eat. The puddings are very tasty. The Family Tree House is not at all what I expected and I am very disappointed. For me it was not a family unit as my bathroom was outside and my child's room was a completely different house. We were not together as a family. Pezulu can indicate on their information that an ordinary vehicle will not be able to get there and a bakkie or SUV may be the preferred vehicle. The only reason we drove our SUV is because I was tired, otherwise we would have driven the normal vehicle and wouldn't have been able to get in. There is no fridge in the room and I feel it is needed. The bar is incredibly expensive and you are forced to buy there as you can't keep cold drinks or water.

Heerlike wegbreek van alles.

Rustige omgewing met net stilte om jou. 'n Goeie wegbreek van al die gewoel van die besige lewe om ons elke dag. Kamers is heerlik, maar baie warm. Ek sal aanbeveel dat meer waaiers in die huise geplaas moet word.

Peaceful surroundings with only silence around you. A good break from all the hustle and bustle of the busy life around us every day. Rooms are lovely, but very hot. I would recommend that more fans should be placed in the houses.

Een groot en heerlike ondervinding.

Die boomhuis met sy buitestort, die skemerkelkie by die lodge en uitkykpunt, die dromme wat die aandete aankondig, die ete onder maanlig en sterre in die boma. Dit was een groot fees. Baie dankie vir Pezulu wat elke oomblik baie spesiaal gemaak het.

A great and wonderful experience.

The tree house with its outdoor shower, the cocktail at the lodge and lookout point, the drums announcing the dinner, the meal under moonlight and stars in the boma. It was one big festival. Many thanks to Pezulu who made every moment very special.

Friendly staff, but the rest was a let-down.

There is no vetilation in the rooms, no bar fridges to keep water or milk cold. No aircon - and the temperatures soar into the 40's there, so its is very uncomfortable. There is a fan, but does very little. The food was terrible! We were asked if we had any dietry requirements and I noted on my form before and on arrival LCHF / Banting. This is LOW CARBS; high fat. They replied and said our requirements are noted, but never even attempted to cater for it. Why even bother? The meals were nothing but carbs and the food was really terrible. The staff are very friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome, but the rest failed. It was very disappointing. The swimming pool was out of order, and you are not allowed to walk around anywhere unless with a guide (at R190 per person!). So you are confined to the hot room or the small uncomfortable bar area. This then forces you to go spend the day somewhere else, spending more money that was not intended and not being able to relax.
