So na aan natuur as wat 'n mens kan kom.

'n Wonderlike plek om te gaan rus. Pragtige natuurskoon. Die buitekombuis en buitebadkamer is fantasties! Mens kom so na aan die natuur sonder om te kamp.

Terrible.

There was no water most of the time, the pillow was smelling, and there was no soap to wash dishes. Can one sleep the whole night without water? If you have a running stomach at night, what then? One needs to request them to open the water.

Phumuza Bush Lodge 's response

Hi
Unfortunately, there was a water problem in the whole area that weekend, however, you were supplied with water when requested.
Our lodge is self-catering and you were advised that you were responsible for your own dishwashing liquid and that you were supposed to keep your unit clean.
You never mentioned the state in which you left the linen as well as the chalet. We actually had to replace the linen because in was so badly spoiled.

Rustige omgewing met gemaklike akkommodasie. Die diens was goed en het maklik hout en ys gekry.

Troupand is 'n mooi huis met geriewe. Die huis kort wel 'n paar skerp messe en warmer komberse vir koue nagte. Die buiteligte vir sekuriteit is belangrik, maar skyn helder in die kamer in wat nagrus pla. Stel voor dalk digter gordyne.

Peaceful surroundings with comfortable accommodation. The service was good and got wood and ice easily.

Troupand is a beautiful house with facilities. The house does need some sharp knives and warmer blankets for cold nights. The exterior lights for security are important, but shine brightly into the room disturbing nighttime sleep. Suggest perhaps denser curtains.

Heel lekker.

Plek was mooi skoon met aankoms. Daar is geen daaglikse skoonmaak nie. Let wel, daar is geen vadoeke, sponsies of skottelgoedseep nie, so vat jou eie saam. Die grondpad is min of meer 2 km en 'n plat voertuig gaan dalk skuur.

Baie lekker. Baie rustig.

Ons het baie lekker gebly vir ons naweek weg. Dit is doodstil daar, wat wonderlik is, want mens is naby genoeg aan die dorp om ietsie te gaan koop, maar ver genoeg dat mens net die natuur kan hoor. Ek sal definitief weer kom, dit is veral lekker as mens net wil wegbreek van die elke-dag-malligheid.

We had a great stay for our weekend away. It is dead quiet there, which is wonderful, because you are close enough to the town to go shopping, but far enough that you can only hear nature. I will definitely come again, it's especially nice if you just want to get away from the everyday craziness.

Hi Salomi

Thank you for your review.
Just a few points.
The unit you stayed in is very popular and always busy.
We appreciate that you found it sparkling clean as this is something we pay great attention to.
Your comments about the "bossies" this is the bushveld and we try to keep the environment natural.

Very happy you enjoyed your stay and found it peaceful
Kindest regards

Relaxing and very peaceful experience.

It was the perfect escape from the busy city life. It was very quiet and peaceful. My 15 month old son enjoyed playing in the pool and water puddles after the rain. We took walks around the property which was good. I would suggest the map of the property in the information booklet to be modified a bit and to have a small section in the booklet about the different routes one could take to get to the lookout tower and around the property. I always looked forward to walking to the lookout tower. We really had a good time. The owners were very kind and accommodating. Thank you.

Rustigheid weg van alles.

Die rustigheid weg van alles en veral wanneer mens in die stad en dorpies bly is so lekker gewees. Sonder TV of enige ekstra goed wat mens vanselfsprekend aanvaar was nie beskikbaar en het mens net weer terug aarde toe laat kom. Dit was rêrig baie lekker.

Aktiewe wegbreek.

Die lodge self is baie netjies en goed uit een gesit. Die hoofslaapkamer is groot maar die ander kamer is meer geskik vir kinders. Die oop kombuis skep 'n lekker atmosfeer rondom die goeie braai fasiliteite. Enigste ontstellende indruk op die naweek was die omgewing se honde wat heelnag geblaf en lawaai het.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Active breakaway.

The lodge itself is very neat and well laid out. The master bedroom is large but the other room is more suitable for children. The open kitchen creates a nice atmosphere around the good braai facilities. Only disturbing impression on the weekend was the neighborhood's dogs that barked and made noise all night.

Uiteindelik 'n vakansieplek waar mens kan rus.

Die 4 dae in die bos was die beste besluit nog. Daar is 'n swembad vir die kinders om te swem en baie sand om mee te speel en stokke om prentjie in die sand te teken. Ek verkies Phumuza Lodge omdat daar nie iets is om te oor haastig te wees of om te doen nie. Ek kon heeltemal rus en voel hoe dit voel om niks te doen, daar was genoeg plekke naby genoeg om 'n vinnige wegneemete te kry of om te gaan sit en eet.

Finally a vacation spot where one can rest.

The 4 days in the forest was the best decision yet. There is a pool for the children to swim in and lots of sand to play with and sticks to draw pictures in the sand. I prefer Phumuza Lodge because there is nothing to rush about or do. I could totally rest and feel what it felt like to do nothing, there were enough places close enough to get a quick takeaway or sit down and eat.

Sal net voorstel die Google Maps location moet verwyder word, want dit neem mens na 'n plek ver weg van Phumuza. Die eienaar het wel 'n boodskap gestuur wat dit noem, maar ek het die boodskap laat gekry na ek reeds verdwaal het.

Baie basiese verblyf, maar rustig, privaat en voldoende vir 'n wegbreek in die bos en teen 'n baie redelike prys. Jy kry waarvoor jy betaal.

Die pad-aanwysings op die web-blad is heeltemal verkeerd. Die oord stuur egter 'n WhatsApp met die regte aanwysings - volg hierdie aanwysings! En just beware. met loadshedding is daar ook geen water nie.

Die kuier was 'n ware bosveldervaring. Warm, droog en aandstilte onder die sterre.

Die Campbell's is baie vriendelik en het geen moeite ontsien om ons tuis te laat voel nie. Die probleem met die stofie wat nie gewerk het nie is binne 'n halfuur opgelos. Die beddegoed kort opgradering en pakplek in die kamers en badkamer is 'n probleem. Een of ander bedekking buite die houthutte, bv. 'n laag klippies of grasperk soos by die swembad en hoofarea sal help om die stof in die hutte te verminder, wat nogal 'n probleem was omdat ons toevallig baie wind/stof tydens ons verblyf ervaar het.

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

The visit was a real woodland experience. Warm, dry and evening silence under the stars.

The Campbell's are very friendly and spared no effort to make us feel at home. The problem with the fabric not working was solved within half an hour. The bedding needs upgrading and storage space in the rooms and bathroom is a problem. Some kind of covering outside the log cabins, e.g. a layer of pebbles or grass like at the pool and main area will help reduce the dust in the cabins, which was quite a problem as we happened to experience a lot of wind/dust during our stay.

As jy wil rus is dit beslis die plek om te gaan.

Die eienaar was so hulpvaardig en het dadelik gehelp as ons iets gekort het. Ek dink die tieners sou net graag iets wou gehad het om te doen aangesien daar geen aktiwiteite of "games room"of putt-putt ens. vir hulle was om te doen nie, maar dit het verseker dat hulle saam met die grootmense moes kuier! Pragtig, stil en rus vir jou siel!

Phumuza Bush Lodge 's response

Dear Jaco,

We were extremely disappointed to read your review.
We have a strict no tolerance to any disturbance or noise policy. We adhere to this policy with no exceptions. Any noise that may have been experienced by yourselves was definitely ceased by 22.00, which is the generally accepted time. We monitor the noise level and accept no deviations. We were unaware of any exceptional noise while you were here. You never complained about the noise while you were on the lodge, if you had we would have definitely followed up.
Your comment about the units being too close is unfounded. Each unit has a distance of at least 50 m between them and is surrounded by natural bush and trees making them private.

Ons het op 'n Sondag ingeklok na almal weg was, so ons was die enigste gaste op die perseel, wat fantasties was. Kon alleen by uitkykpunt gaan sit en ook die swembad geniet. Die aand in die stilte van die bos om die vuur was great. Daar was een of ander fout met die huisie wat ons bespreek het met die buitestort en kombuis. Maar was nie die einde van die wêreld nie. Die huisie wat ons gekry het was goed uitgerus met alles wat ons nodig gehad het. Ons sê altyd ons is maklik, fine met enigiets, solank dit net skoon is. Maar ek was opreg verbaas oor hoe skoon die huisie was. Daar's nie eers een spinnerakkie of niks waar mens dit gewoonlik verwag in die dak of onder die tuinstoele en tafel buite nie. Sal weer wil kom eendag en die hele familie bring na die groot huis vir bietjie wegbreek.

Exactly what we were looking for.

We checked in on a Sunday after everyone had left, so we were the only guests on site, which was fantastic. Could sit alone at the lookout point and also enjoy the pool. The evening in the silence of the forest around the fire was great. There was some problem with the cottage we booked with the outside shower and kitchen. But was not the end of the world. The cottage we found was well equipped with everything we needed. We always say we are easygoing, fine with anything, as long as it is clean. But I was genuinely surprised at how clean the house was. There's not even one cobweb or nothing where you usually expect it in the roof or under the garden chairs and table outside. Will want to come again someday and bring the whole family to the big house for a little getaway.

Nice place for a forest holiday.

Phumuza Bush Lodge would be a nice place for a bush holiday, but I would definitely prefer a guest house for just one night's sleep. Everything was neat and clean, but I don't quite understand why towels, dishcloths, soap, coffee, tea, sugar and milk (at least just enough for the next morning) can't be provided. It's just basic hospitality. Also, there was no sink in the one bathroom. There is a very impractical sliding lock on the sliding door which does not contribute to safety or restful sleep.

Ek sal volgende keer van ander verblyf gebruik maak.

Ons het nie kennis gekry dat handdoeke nie beskikbaar sal wees nie. Die beddegoed is glad nie op standaard nie. Laken was geskeur en saam met duvet-oortreksel was dit dun en uitgewas. Ons voel dat daar so baie blyplekke in die omgewing is en kompetisie vir Phumuza Bush Lodge is. Het regtig aandag gekort.

Phumuza Bush Lodge 's response

Dear Martie,
We are really sorry you did not enjoy your overnight stay at Phumuza. The issue you had with towels could have been avoided as we do state on the booking page that we do not supply towels. We immediately checked the linen after your complaint and yes, the fitted sheet has a small tear where the stitching has come loose on the corner where it covers the mattress. We will attend to that. Thank you for informing us. The duvet and cover have never been a problem before but we will look into it, please bear in mind we are a bush lodge and having feather duvets is really not an option.
We must just say that some people find it better to ignore small issues and rather focus on the positives such as the beautiful surroundings and other facilities which far outweigh all else. Could it perhaps be that your stay was not long enough to enjoy what we offer?

Rustigheid.

Dit is definitief 'n wegbreek van die stadslewe en tegnologie. Net om te besef daar is soveel meer om te waardeer en te leer van die natuur, 'n oomblik te vat van ons besige lewe en die klein dingetjies weer te waardeer, 'n kosbare en spesiale tyd saam met die gesin te spandeer sonder enige onderbrekings.

It is definitely a break from city life and technology. Just to realize there is so much more to appreciate and learn about nature, to take a moment from our busy lives and appreciate the little things again, to spend a precious and special time with the family without any interruptions .

Baie overpriced.

Plek het doel gedien as oorslaap plek alleenlik. Cabin was regtig nie geskik vir 4 volwassenes nie, was hopeloos te klein. Stortkop was stukkend en het dit moeilik gemaak om te stort. Omtrent geen waterdruk in kombuis en ons moes water aandra vanaf die badkamer om skottelgoed te was. Verder was dit nie sleg nie, maar ons het slegs oorgeslaap en nie veel daar gedoen nie. Dit was regtig net baie overpriced in my opinie.

Very overpriced.

Place served purpose as a place to sleep only. Cabin was really not suitable for 4 adults, was hopelessly too small. Shower head was broken and made showering difficult. Almost no water pressure in kitchen and we had to bring water from the bathroom to wash dishes. Other than that it wasn't bad, but we only slept over and didn't do much there. It was really just very overpriced in my opinion.

Place lacks attention and it feels like there is no wildlife, it is way too expensive for what you get.

The shower in my unit's slope works out so that the water flows outside the shower, there is a gap that makes this possible The floor tiles are cracked. The bed's frame is very skeptical and loose. The unit's corners have water vapor problems and cobwebs are also in the corners. The door has a lot of trouble closing. The lodge has almost no wildlife (no tracks or fog visible) and no clear indications of where you can drive or walk to see wildlife, think it's actually too small for that. I walked and sat down at the lookout tower, it was falling apart. The lookout tower's thatched roof is halfway gone and the wooden floor of the lookout tower has a few places where it has broken (one could get very hurt if you step on it and even fall, who knows). The place has very strict rules and the leaflet is poorly laid out with rules that repeat all the time. When I got there I had to complete a disclaimer form which basically states that they are not responsible for my safety or belongings whatsoever, no matter what happens. They also have such a long description about it in their pamphlet in the room. The place does not provide towels and can only put a chocolate on the bed. The bedside lamps don't work and there was only one toilet paper roll (if I remember correctly). I think it is important that good sleep should visit their places regularly and do an inspection: Is the price and what you get out of a place fair? Do they really have the services that the place claims recognition for on our website, there is also a difference to say you have game to look at (only 2 goats in 10 hectares) and another place has 1000 goats over 100 hectares . I will have to consider whether I book directly with Klein Kariba and pay more, but you know what you pay for.

Asemrowend mooi en netjies.

Dis die soort plek waar jy rus vir jou siel kry met genoeg vermaak van die eekhoringtjies en nagapies. Daar is bokspore, bospaadjies en 'n baie hoë uitkyktoring by 'n watergat wat ons bokant die boomtoppe gevat het. Ons het die "Vlakvark" houteenheid regtig geniet, maar meer die sand tussen ons tone. Dis 'n bos-juweel vol wilde vrugtebome en voëllewe.

It's the sort of place where you find peace for your soul with enough entertainment from the squirrels and bushbaies.

It's a forest jewel full of wild fruit trees and bird life.

Nie heeltemal wat ons verwag het nie.

Ek dink die huisie waarin ons gebly het was onbewoon vir 'n tydjie, of daar was baie oppervlakkig skoon gemaak voor ons aankoms. Linne was nie vars nie en oral was spinnerakke. Die buitestort is 'n goeie idee, maar daar moet dalk 'n mop of lap verskaf word om die vloer op te droog anders loop mens deur die water na die kamer na jy die toilet besoek het. Mooi plek, maar kan verbeter om verblyf meer gemaklik te maak.

Not quite what we expected.

I think the cottage we stayed in was unoccupied for a while, or it was hardly cleaned before our arrival. Linen was not fresh and cobwebs where everywhere. The outside shower is a good idea, but there may need to be a mop or cloth to dry the floor, or walk through the water to the room after visiting the toilet. Nice place, but can improve to make accommodation more comfortable.

Calm and quiet and relaxed.

Had a great time and everything was neat and clean. Friendly people who own the place. The fire pit is a little deep for older people with stiff backs - braai could be raised a bit?

Baie kalmerend en rustig.

Die plekkie is baie mooi en het mooi uitsigte, baie rustig en het die tyd in die bos baie geniet en het baie gerus. Die uitkykpunt kan bietjie opgeknap word en is baie mooi, maar kort 'n bietjie aandag. Verder is dit 'n baie rustige plek waar jy kan lekker rus.

The place is very beautiful and has nice views, very peaceful and enjoyed the time in the forest very much and rested a lot. The viewpoint could do with a bit of renovation and is very nice, but needs some attention. Furthermore, it is a very peaceful place where you can rest well.

Thank you very much for your kind words. We are aware of the damage to the tower. It unfortunetely happened a short time before your visit. We had exceptionally strong winds and damage was caused. The tower is under repair and will be back to its beautiful self shortly.

Ek het dit glad nie geniet nie, suiwer oor die onvriendelike en sarkastiese comment gemaak deur Shaaron toe ons daar gekom het.

Die intercom by die hek het nie gewerk toe ek daar kom nie. Ek moes die nr op die internet opsoek en bel sodat die hek oopgemaak word. Die hek het net half oopgemaak en ek moes weer bel sodat dit heeltemal oopgemaak kan word sodat ek kon deurry. Toe ek by ontvangs kom sê Shaaron sarkasties vir my ek moes die "emergency" knoppie druk en nie die intekomknoppie nie. Geen kaartfasiliteit. Toe ek my kaart gee vir die betaling. Shaaron: "It is a pity that people do not read the information supplied before they book." Ons het Donderdag wat 'n vakansiedag was ingeboek. Ek het Vrydag na werk ongeveer 6nm by Phumuza gekom en die intercom gedruk (die keer het dit gewerk). Shaaron het geantwoord en toe ek vra of sy die hek sal oop maak het sy geantwoord dat dit nie convenient is vir haar nie en ek vir my man moet wag om die remote te bring. Die kombuis laat veel te wense oor. Twee van die borde was gekraak en 'n beker gechip. Die messe is van swak kwaliteit en ons het liefs nie gewaag om iets te sny daarmee nie want dit sou breek. Ek het gery en steak messe gaan koop. Die kampstoele was vuil en die skinkbord deel aan die stoel was stukkend. Die kamer is so beknop dat die bunkerbed voor die badkamerdeur staan. Jy moet jou hand deur die bed se reling druk om die deur oop te maak. Daar is baie beter lodges vir dieselfde geld waarde in die omgewing en ek sal almal aanbeveel om eerder by 'n ander plek as Phumuza te bespreek. Daar sal jy ook rustigheid en 'n mooi omgewing hê maar definitief vriendeliker ontvangs.

I did not enjoy it at all, purely because of the unkind and sarcastic comment made by Shaaron when we got there.

The intercom at the gate was not working when I got there. I had to look up the number on the internet and call to have the gate opened. The gate only opened halfway and I had to call again to have it fully opened so I could drive through. When I got to reception Shaaron sarcastically told me I should have pressed the "emergency" button and not the income button. No card facility. When I gave my card for the payment. Sharon: "It is a pity that people do not read the information supplied before they book." We checked in on Thursday which was a holiday. I got to Phumuza after work on Friday around 6pm and pressed the intercom (this time it worked). Shaaron answered and when I asked if she would open the gate she replied that it was not convenient for her and I had to wait for my husband to bring the remote. The kitchen leaves much to be desired. Two of the plates were cracked and a mug chipped. The knives are of poor quality and we did not dare to cut anything with them because they would break. I drove and went to buy steak knives. The camp chairs were dirty and the tray part of the chair was broken. The room is so cramped that the bunker bed is in front of the bathroom door. You have to push your hand through the bed rail to open the door. There are much better lodges for the same value of money in the area and I would recommend everyone to book somewhere other than Phumuza instead. There you will also have tranquility and a beautiful environment but definitely a friendlier reception.

Dear Denise
We sincerely apologise that your expectations were not met. It would have been great if you had conveyed your issues and concerns to us when Pat came around to check and see if all was ok. He had a long conversation with your husband and children and nothing was mentioned. We could have sorted out your concerns and made your stay pleasent.
The issue with the remote, i would just like to emphasize that guests are issued with a remote for easy access to the property . The office is not manned 24 hours and it is difficult for staff to monitor guests movements . The constant ringing of the gate bell is also a nuisance for the other guests.
Once again we apologise and sincerly wish that your experience could have been better . The envirement is so peaceful and calming it would have been great to see you relax and enjoy yourself

It's lovely and peaceful, you can go for a nice walk. Big farm, with no game, 4 divers, 2 kudus and maybe a roebuck. Not at all what was expected. Boundary wire was damaged, came across wood harvesters during a hike.

Phumuza Bush Lodge 's response

Dear Sarie,
Thank you for your comments. Unfortunately, game is very unpredictable, and elusive. You may be lucky and see many different species, and then again, you may just have bad luck and see nothing. It is necessary to be patient and quiet, which can be quite a challenge especially when there are younger children in your party. We do offer advice on where to find the various animals, and would have been glad to help you in your search.
Bela Bela has many exciting activities that the younger generation find enjoyable and day outings can be a treat. Coming back to a restful quiet place to rest in the evening, is an advantage.

Baie lekker en gemaklik.

Ons het onlangs die geleentheid gehad om te bly by Phumuza. Alhoewel dit baie warm was, was daar plafonwaaiers in die eenhede waarin ons tuisgegaan het (Vlakvark en Giraffe). Baie gerieflik en netjiese houthuisies in die bos. Klein maar koel afkoel "paddle pool" wat natuurlik heerlik was in die 45° toe ons daar was. Neem net jou eie skoonmaakmiddels, vadoeke, handdoeke ens. saam (daar word nie voorsien nie). Oor die heelal baie lekker.

Just take your own cleaning products, dishcloths, towels etc. together (there is not provided). Overall very nice.

Geen diens gedurende verblyf en hek op voertuig toegemaak.

Die akkommodasie is skoon op aankoms en die houthuisies baie mooi. Geen diens gedurende verblyf: Geen eenheid skoonmaak, geen asblik verwydering, geen vuur skoonmaak, geen toiletpapier vervanging gedurende verblyf. Op aankoms het die eieneaar die hek op ons voertuig toegemaak en die skade was: krapmerke en verf het afgekom. Sou gedink het dat daar ten minste sensors op hek sal wees; veral as mens met publiek werk. Geen verskoning of aanvaarding van ongeluk of kompensasie ontvang nie.

Rustige omgewing waar jy kan uitrus.

Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang. Als is vir ons verduidelik. Ons wou privaatheid hê, en dit is gerespekteer. Het rondgeloop en na als gaan kyk. Daar is nogal heelwat waarmee mens jou kan besig hou. Daar is veerpeiltjies, 'n Jacuzzi, pool-tafel en die swembad. Ongelukkig was hulle besig met reparasies aan die swembad, en kon ons dit nie geniet nie. Daar is aangebied om die swembad vir ons vol te maak, maar dis 'n baie groot uitgawe vir net 2 mense. Die woon-eenheid was baie netjies en skoon. Ons het 'n baie lieflike paar dae daar gehad. Die rustigheid is net wat mens nodig het om jou batterye te herlaai.

They offered to fill the swimming pool for us, but it's a very big expense for just 2 people. The living area was very tidy and clean. We had a very nice few days there. The tranquillity is just what you need to recharge your batteries.

Rus en vrede.

Ons kuier het verloop soos ons voor gehoop het. Rustig. Alles is daar wat 'n mens benodig maar ons sal wel aanbeveel dat Troupant se kombuisgerei bietjie opgegradeer word (steak messe ens.) en dat die dubbelbed se matras eerder gouer as later vervang word met 'n beter gehalte. Ons wil ook voorstel dat die eenheid met 'n dakwaaier of twee uitgerus word vir die warm bosveld somers. Verder het ons baie lekker gekuier.

Our visit went as we had hoped. Restful. Everything one needs is there, but we would recommend that Troupant's kitchen utensils be upgraded a bit (steak knives etc.) and that the double bed's mattress be replaced sooner rather than later with a better quality one. We would also suggest that the unit be equipped with a roof fan or two for the hot woodland summers. Furthermore, we had a great time.

Werklik 'n lekker plek om te gaan en om te ontspan.

Dit was 'n baie mooi huis en ons het 'n baie lekker tyd gehad. Maar dit sou gaaf wees as iemand ons gesê het dat daar nie vadoeke en skottelgoedseep was nie sodat ons dit kon saambring. Die beddegoed is nie baie skoon nie. Die dubbelbed in die spaarkamer is deurgeslaap en dit voel of mens net op springs slaap.

Phumuza bush lodge. Kan verseker aanbeveel word. Ons het regtig lekker en rustig om die vuur gekuier. Phumuza bush lodge is mooi skoon en netjies. Sal verseker weer daar gaan kuier.

Glad nie die geld werd nie. Geen privaatheid en onnet.

Ons Cabin is nie uitgehou waarvoor ons deposito betaal het nie, die geyser is nie aangesit nie, toilet is stukkend, geen privaatheid nie. Ons het op die inwoners se stoep vasgekyk.

Baie rustige bosveld atmosfeer.

Gasvrou was baie vriendelik en het ons dadelik tuis laat voel. Dit was net weer lieflik om buite in veld te kon wees, te stap en te braai en geen raserigheid van sirenes en stadsgeraas te kon hê nie.

We've experienced a beyond expectation time at Phumuza.

A Peaceful destination greets us where we could humble ourselves to our Almighty father God. The wooden hut - Vlakvark - gave our stay a Unique bushveld feeling - smelling wood and "veld" so fresh. Meditation on body, soul and mind were right on our doorstep. Listen, smell, feel, see. Unbelievable bird twitter greets you early mornings and at sunset. A zest for life we found in the simplicity of the bush, seeing squirrels and bush babies, impala and a lot of birds. The best. Amazing sunsets and sunrises from the tower. There you definitely experience the splendour of the King. Glory to our God! It's His breath in our lungs so we pour out the praise! All the underlined words spell PHUMUZA - Place of Restoration.

Lekker rustig in die bosveld.

Ons het die stilte geniet en die privaatheid van die troupant eenheid. Al wat bietjie lastig was, is dat die geyser nie betyds aangeskakel is nie en ons eerste aand se stort dus nie warm was nie. Die braai wat 'n gat in die grond is, is lekker as 'n kampvuur maar erg ongemaklik om by te braai.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Nice and peaceful in the bushveld.

We enjoyed the silence and the privacy of the Troupant unit. The only thing that was a bit annoying, was that the geyser wasn't switched on, so our shower on the first night wasn't warm. The braai is a hole in the ground and even though it's a nice camp fire, it's uncomfortable to braai in.

Phumuza lodge provided a peaceful bush experience, but customer service and other shortcomings need attention.

The following areas need attention: 1) There was no light at the braai area! 2) An additional braai area should be provided, as the one that was available is impractical and needs attention. 3) The bathtub in the unit was dirty, the candles had not been replaced with new ones, and the bubble bath was pretty much empty. Surely this is the honeymoon unit? There had been no dish soap in the unit. 4) We were not informed that there was an entertainment area (pool, darts etc). There was also a hot tub that we didn't even know about. We came across it by chance?! It is recommended that the map of the farm indicating the routes and locations be updated, as the one provided was indicated on a very small scale and was dim. Attention must be paid to the above. Thank you very much

Baie hartseer oor die eienaar se optrede!

Baie teleurgesteld in Sharon! Wag vir amper 'n week om deposito terug te kry en dan word alles nie eers terug betaal nie omdat ons 'n pot gebruik het wat per ongeluk swart gebrand het! Nou is hy kamstig "damaged". As jy wil braai moet jy op die grond sit, want daar is geen kampstoele beskikbaar om op te sit nie! Sekuriteitstelsel in maar werk glad nie, ons het baie onveilig gevoel en kon glad nie slaap nie! Ek sal dit glad nie vir vriende en familie aanbeveel nie! Eerste en laaste keer dat die plek my sien! Geen sterre vir kliëntediens of veiligheid nie!

Very unhappy with the owner's behaviour.

Very disappointed in Sharon! We waited almost a week to get our deposit back and then it wasn't even paid back in full because we used a pot which accidentally burned black! Nou it's so-called "damaged". If you want to braai you have to sit on the ground because there were no camping chairs available to sit on! Security system is there but doesn't work at all, we felt unsafe and couldn't sleep at all! I will not recommend it to my family or friends at all! First and last time that I will visit this place! No stars for customer service or safety!

Rustigheid en stilte.

Ons kuier was kort en baie aangenaam. Ongelukkig te vroeg in die seisoen om te swem, maar die swembad was baie aanloklik. Die Troupant waarin ons gebly het, het alles wat nodig is. Die uitkykpunt was 'n hoogtepunt. Die eienaars is vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons enigste versoek is dat die gordyne dalk digter gemaak kan word om die sekerheidslig se strale uit die huisie te hou met slaaptyd. En dalk kan die buitestort aandag kry.

Tranquil and quiet.

Our visit was short and lovely. Unfortunately too early in the season to swim, but the swimming pool looked very inviting. Die Troupant, our unit, has everything you need. The lookout point was highlight. The owners are friendly and helpful. Maybe the curtains can be thicker to block out the security light? And the outside shower needs some maintainance.

Die verblyf in Troupant eenheid was heerlik. Basies, skoon en 'n heerlike ontspan in die bos. Uitstekende waarde vir geld. En boonop een van die min plekke wat jou toelaat om slegs een aand oor 'n naweek te bly. Sal beslis Troupant as oornagbasis aanbeveel.

Die plek self is netjies behalwe die verblyf kan hulle definitief meer opgradeer. Kombuis is buite wat baie ongerieflik is en daar is geen TV nie. Huis is koud en daar is nie genoeg toerusting ingesit om die huis warmer te maak nie.

Rustigheid en stilte wat jou battery herlaai.

Die plek is baie rustig, ongelukkig het ons nie baie diere gesien nie, slegs een bokkie baie ver in die pad. Ons het die gevoel gekry dat die diere skrikkerig is. Die uitsig van die uitkyktoring was asemrowend. Ons verblyf het nie te goed afgeskop nie, met geen warm water in die chalet nie, maar ons verstaan ook dat dit nie die eienaars se skuld is nie - die element van die geiser het uitgebrand na 'n storm die vorige aand. Die eienaars het uit hulle pad gegaan om dit reg te maak en het ons die volgende dag teen middagete redelike warm water gehad. Ons doel was om net niks te doen nie, en net batterye te herlaai wat ons reggekry het. Die stilte en rustigheid is wonderlik en dis sowaar 'n paradys.

Peace and quiet that recharges your battery.

The place is very peaceful, unfortunately we didn't see many animals, only one kid very far down the road. We got the feeling that the animals are scary. The view from the observation tower was breathtaking. Our stay didn't start too well, with no hot water in the chalet, but we also understand that it's not the owners fault - the element of the geyser burned out after a storm the night before. The owners went out of their way to fix it and we had reasonably hot water by lunchtime the next day. Our goal was to just do nothing, and just recharge batteries that we managed. The silence and tranquility is wonderful and it really is a paradise.

Teleurstellend.

Ons was teleurgesteld met ons verblyf by Phumuza Lodge, die houthut waar ons gebly het was baie klein en het glad nie gelyk soos enige foto's op die webtuiste nie. Die grondpad is baie glad en daar is hoe hobbels waaroor mens eintlik net met 'n 4x4 kan kom en nie 'n gewone kar nie. Die Jacuzzi het nie eers water in nie en werk nie. Ons lig in die kamer het nie gewerk nie, die stoele om buite te sit is geskeur en stukkend, die geriewe is baie basies en daar is geen ekstras bv handdoeke, koffie, melk suiker ens.Daar is ook geen lig buite om te braai in die aand nie. Hulle voorsien ook net 5 stukkies hout vir 'n vuur. Die rooster was baie vuil en die borsel om dit skoon te maak is stukkend en vuiler as die rooster. Dit is wel baie stil en lekker om weg te kom uit die stad, maar vir wat mens betaal is dit regtig nie die moeite werd nie.

Disappointing.

We were disappointed with our stay at Phumuza Lodge, the log cabin we stayed in was very small and did not look at all like any photos on the website. The dirt road is very smooth and there are bumps that you can only get over with a 4x4 and not a normal car. The Jacuzzi doesn't even have water in it and doesn't work. Our light in the room did not work, the chairs to sit outside are torn and broken, the facilities are very basic and there are no extras eg towels, coffee, milk sugar etc. There is also no light outside to barbecue in not the evening. They also only provide 5 pieces of wood for a fire. The grill was very dirty and the brush to clean it is broken and dirtier than the grill. It is very quiet and nice to get away from the city, but for what you pay it is really not worth it.

Phumuza Bush Lodge 's response

It is such a pity that people do not read the information supplied before they book. We have self-catering accommodation which means you cater for yourself. We do not supply tea, coffee or sugar. Wood for making fires is sold on site. The Jacuzzi is also an extra charge and if the guests want to make use of it, clean water is put into it. This is for hygiene purposes.

Dit was OK.

Die Vrydagaand was daar 'n inbraak by ons voertuig. Die inbrekers het kaalvoet rondom ons huisie geloop. Ons was die Saterdag Bela-Bela toe, en ons het uitgevind by die mense, wat deel is van die buurtwag, dat daar gereeld by daai spesifieke huisie ingebreek of geroof word. Ek stel voor dat hulle die sekuriteit moet opskerp voordat hulle enigsins die Vlakvark of Giraffe eenhede weer wil verhuur. Die eienaars het wel ons die Saterdag genader om ons te vra om asb. aan te bly en ons by 'n huisie langs die hoofhuis ingeboek. Die naweek was lekker, behalwe vir die insident die Vrydagaand.

It was OK.

On Friday evening there was a burglary at our vehicle. The burglars walked around our house barefoot. We went to Bela-Bela on Saturday, and we found out from the people, who are part of the neighborhood watch, that that particular house is often broken into or robbed. I suggest they tighten up the security before they ever want to rent out the Warthog or Giraffe units again. The owners did approach us on Saturday to ask us to please. to stay and checked into a cottage next to the main house. The weekend was nice, except for the incident on Friday night.

The management and staff at our establishment do all in our power to ensure that the guests have a safe and carefree holiday. We have special security alarms installed and do nightly patrols. We sincerely regret the incident that took place but certain factors are beyond our control. Our guests are made aware of any dangers and are advised to take all the necessary precautions. Unfortunately this incident occurred and it was found that the guests did not secure their vehicle.

Verblyf was awesome!

Ek en my lovie het in die Troupant-eenheid gebly. Dit was baie privaat en veilig. Dit was 'n onvergeetlike tyd wat ons daar gehad het. Sharon en haar man het ons sommer dadelik laat tuis voel en was altyd beskikbaar wanneer ons vrae gehad het. Sal dit definitief aanbeveel as jy wil wegkom van die alledaagse gewoel. Dankie, dit was awesome!

Stay was awesome!

My lovie and I stayed in the Troupant unit. It was very private and safe. It was an unforgettable time we had there. Sharon and her husband made us feel right at home and were always available when we had questions. Would definitely recommend if you want to get away from the everyday hustle and bustle. Thanks, that was awesome!

Al die basiese geriewe om van die stadslewe te ontsnap!

Die bestuur was baie behulpsaam en was dadelik daar as ons iets nodig gehad het. Die swembad is fantasties in die somer. Die stilte is opvallend en dit maak dat mens kan rus en lekker slaap. Ons het lekker gebraai in die aand en ook lekker gaan stap. Die kinders het baie spasie gehad om te speel en hulleself besig te hou. Daar is 'n klompie diere ook - soos nagapies en klein bokkies, selfs hoenders! Ek sou wel die bestuur aanraai om sommer ekstra hout of brikette op die perseel te verkoop. Bela-Bela is wel naby, maar die ry tussen Phumuza en Bele-Bela sou nie nodig wees as daar basiese items beskikbaar was by die lodge nie (hout, brikette, Blitz, seep). Die selfoon-opvangs gaan blykbaar verbeter, maar dis eintlik beter as daar min sein is op 'n vakansie. Dis 'n baie lekker plek die.

All the basic amenities to escape from city life!

The management was very helpful and was there immediately if we needed anything. The pool is fantastic in the summer. The silence is noticeable and it allows one to rest and sleep well. We had a nice barbecue in the evening and also went for a nice walk. The children had plenty of space to play and keep themselves occupied. There are a bunch of animals too - like night monkeys and little goats, even chickens! I would advise the management to simply sell extra wood or briquettes on the premises. Bela-Bela is indeed close, but the drive between Phumuza and Bele-Bela would not be necessary if there were basic items available at the lodge (wood, briquettes, Blitz, soap). The mobile reception is apparently going to improve, but it's actually better if there is little signal on a holiday. It's a very nice place.

Not happy at all!

Where told about alarm to be used when we walked in. That was scary and staying next to the workers made us even more unsafe. They should maybe think about cleaning under their beds... had a shock when we chased a spider and saw what was under the bed. That is budget accommodation.

Alles wat nodig was, het ons daar aangetref: gemaklike beddens, warm water in die stort, volledig toegeruste kombuisie, volop droë hou vir braai - sommer in die veld opgetel!

Die drie dae was vir ons 'n besondere geleentheid om weer die pap batterye van die gejaagde lewe te herlaai, en dit in die hartjie van die bosveld - sonder TV, radio, blermusiek of enige ander steurende geluide. Daar kon ons die geluide van die natuur: voëls, goggas, wind en ons doringhoutvuurtjie geniet. Die eienaars was vriendelik, maar geensins opdringerig nie, hulle verstaan wanneer gaste alleen wil wees. Ons sal beslis weer kom.

We found everything we needed there: comfortable beds, hot water in the shower, fully equipped kitchenette, plenty of dry stuff for braai - just picked up in the field!

The three days were a special opportunity for us to recharge the flat batteries of the hectic life, and this in the heart of the bushveld - without TV, radio, blaring music or any other disturbing sounds. There we could enjoy the sounds of nature: birds, bugs, wind and our thorn wood fire. The owners were friendly, but in no way intrusive, they understand when guests want to be alone. We will definitely come again.

Stilte en rustigheid vir die liggaam en siel om te kan herlaai.

Ons het 'n rustige wegbrekie so geniet met net die stilte sonder TV, radio, selfoonontvangs ─ dit was hemels. Ons kon rustig by die vuur sit en na die sterre kyk en die jakkalse hoor, heerlik braai met bosveldhout. Die Chalet se kombuisie was baie goed toegerus mens het niks gekort nie, en pragtige dekor het ons beïndruk, Ons gaan beslis weer soontoe gaan. Dankie, dit was hemels.

The Chalet's kitchen was very well equipped, nothing was missing, and the beautiful decor impressed us, We will definitely go there again. Thank you, it was heavenly.

Phumuza Bush Lodge 's response

We try our best to accommodate all our guests and make their stay as comfortable as possible. There are certain things that we have no control over, one being the public roads. We have contacted the Roads Department on several occasions about the road, however as is the situation with many of the roads in our country, nothing gets done. I am sincerely sorry you had a bad experience with your car. Thank goodness you drive a Toyota Fortuner otherwise it could have been much worse. We have permanent residents on the lodge that drive Nissan 1400 bakkie and an Atos, who never seem to have problems.

As a mother myself , I am also very protective over my children and I understand that you being alone with no husband to help you, things might have seemed worse than they are. I am referring to the electrical plug that you were worried about. It is a pity you did not come to us as we could have moved the bed away from the plug.

Ideal for old folks who need a break from the world, very isolated. no interaction with the host.

It was not ideal for us cause we wanted some kind of activities to do, when we asked around no information was given. There was literally no interaction with the hosts. I feel they could have done better. Phumuza is just a dry land, no entertainment would definitely recommend it to old folks above the age of 70.

Teleurgesteld.

Ons het ook 'n bespreking gemaak by die instansie vir Vrydagaand, teen R650 vir 'n chalet vir 2. My probleem was nie met die eenheid nie, maar met die feit dat daar geen basiese geriewe was nie. Alhoewel dit 'n selfsorg-eenheid is, verwag 'n mens ten minste dat daar handdoeke beskikbaar is. Dié het ons 9 uur die aand besef toe ons wou gaan stort, en op die einde moes ek en my man met ons klere afdroog. Indien ek bewus was dat daar nie handdoeke sou wees nie, sou ek saamgevat het. Daar was ook nie eers 'n stukkie van 'n vadoek om iets mee af te vee in die kombuis nie en ook nie 'n druppel seep nie. Daar was geen ekstra beddegoed nie. 1 Duvet vir die dubbelbed en 1 duvet vir die enkelbed wat hulle daar ingesit het. Ek verstaan heeltemal die konsep van selfsorg, maar so primitief het ek nog nie ervaar nie en ons het al in baie selfsorgplekke oornag. Saterdagoggend was die bestuurders/eienaars nie by hul huis nie en ek het die dame geskakel en aan haar verduidelik dat ek ongelukkig is en ook waarom ek ongelukkig is. Sy het my toe meegedeel dat dit selfsorg is en dat hulle nie handdoeke verskaf nie. Sy het toe egter aangebied om vir ons een van die houthutte te gee vir ons bespreking van Saterdagaand (die 23ste) teen geen ekstra koste nie. Sy het gevra dat ons asb. net kans moet gee dat die eenheid skoongemaak word aangesien daar mense oornag het die Vrydagaand. Ek het aan haar genoem dat ons ook eers later die dag gaan terug wees aangesien ons seun rugby gespeel het die dag. Met ons terugkeer Saterdagmiddag om en by kwart voor 4 het die dame ons ingewag by die kantoor. Sy het toe vir my gesê dat sy nie vir ons die groter eenheid kan gee nie aangesien die mense (wat die vorige aan daar oornag het) besluit het om nog 'n nag te bly – dit nadat sy die eenheid aan ons belowe het – en dat ons geen ander keuse het as om weer in die slaapkamer vir 2 te moet oornag nie. Sy het toe ook 'n klomp papiere daar uitgehaal waar daar glo bevestig word wat nie in die eenhede is nie (onder andere die handdoeke) en beweer dat sy daardie uiteensetting uitstuur saam met elke besprekingbevestiging. Ek het toe aan haar genoem dat ek my besprekingsbevestiging in my kar het en dit aan haar kan wys, en dat dit wat sy nou daar het definitief NIE op my bevestiging is nie. Sy wou nie eens verder na my luister nie en net gesê sy is jammer, ons sal maar die eenheid moet vat. Ons het toe egter maar besluit om huis toe te ry en haar sleutels teruggegee.

Disappointed.

We also made a reservation at the establishment for Friday evening, at R650 for a chalet for 2. My problem was not with the unit, but with the fact that there were no basic amenities. Although this is a self-catering unit, one would at least expect towels to be available. We realized this at 9 o'clock in the evening when we wanted to take a shower, and in the end my husband and I had to dry off with our clothes on. Had I been aware that there would be no towels, I would have packed. There wasn't even a piece of a dishtowel to wipe something with in the kitchen, nor a drop of soap. There was no extra bedding. 1 duvet for the double bed and 1 duvet for the single bed they put in there. I completely understand the concept of self-catering, but I have never experienced anything so primitive and we have stayed overnight in many self-catering places. On Saturday morning the managers/owners were not at their home and I called the lady and explained to her that I was unhappy and also why I was unhappy. She then informed me that it was self-catering and that they did not provide towels. However, she then offered to give us one of the log cabins for our Saturday night booking (the 23rd) at no extra charge. She asked that we please just have to give the unit a chance to be cleaned as there were people staying overnight on Friday night. I mentioned to her that we would not be back until later in the day as our son played rugby that day. On our return on Saturday afternoon at a quarter to four, the lady was waiting for us at the office. She then told me that she could not give us the larger unit as the people (who had stayed the night before) had decided to stay another night - this after she had promised us the unit - and that we have no choice but to spend the night again in the bedroom for 2. She then also pulled out a bunch of papers that supposedly confirm what is not in the units (including the towels) and claims that she sends out that breakdown with every booking confirmation. I then mentioned to her that I have my booking confirmation in my car and can show it to her, and that what she has there now is definitely NOT on my confirmation. She didn't even want to listen to me any further and just said she was sorry, we'll just have to take the unit. However, we then decided to drive home and returned her keys.
