Lilydale was 'n onverwagte geskenk. Wat 'n wonderlike ervaring.

Die hele Mokala-reservaat het ons verwagtinge oortref. Lilydale het die ervaring soveel beter gemaak. Om die hele tyd die wonderlike uitsig oor die rivier te hê. Die huisie was netjies en het alles gehad wat mens benodig. Ek sal dit definitief aanbeveel.

Lilydale was an unexpected gift. What a great experience.

The entire Mokala reserve exceeded our expectations. Lilydale made the experience so much better. To have the wonderful view of the river all the time. The house was neat and had everything you need. I would definitely recommend it.

Mooi reservaat.

Die diere is mak, ons kon hulle van baie naby sien. Paaie was mooi instandgehou. 4x4 roetes is mooi aangedui.

Nice reserve.

The animals are tame, we could see them very close. Roads were well maintained. 4x4 routes are well signposted.

Stunning views with nice and clean rooms. Just a pity that the restaurant is closed, but that is understandable in this economic climate.

Please note that even though only some of the roads within the reserve is marked as 4x4 only, the road to get to the Lilydale gate would be very rough for a normal sedan or hatchback.

Baie mooi - die hele wereld is groen.

Die ontvangsdame was glad nie vriendelik nie! Sy het nie een keer geglimlag nie. Dis baie sleg dat die restaurante nie meer werkend is nie.

The receptionist was not friendly at all! She didn't smile once. It is very bad that the restaurants are no longer working.

Vir 'n SANParks ruskamp was die groot teleurstelling dat aangrensende gaste toegelaat word om kliphard musiek te speel die hele middag en aand wat ek daar was deur hulle voertuig radio. Baie hartseer.

Glad nie op standaard wat mens verwag van SANParks. Ook vir die prys - geen koffie/tee/suiker of melk en in vergelyking met ander verblyf wat minder as helfde die prys is kry mens soveel meer.

For a SANParks rest camp, the big disappointment was that adjacent guests were allowed to play loud music through their vehicle radio the entire afternoon and evening I was there. Very sad.

Not at all up to the standard one expects from SANParks. Also for the price - no coffee/tea/sugar or milk and compared to other accommodations that are less than half the price you get so much more.

Mokala National Park sal ons definitief weer sien.

Ons huisie teen die krans langs die Rietrivier was asemrowend en sielskos. Eeden, die SAN Park offisier, se vriendelike en proffesionele ontvangs by die hek was welkom na ‘n lang dag op die pad. Die park spog met renosters en buffels en baie bokspesies.

Mokala National Park will definitely see us again.

Our little house on the cliff next to the Reed River was breathtaking and soul food. Eeden, the SAN Park officer,'s friendly and professional reception at the gate was welcome after a long day on the road. The park boasts rhinos and buffaloes and many buck species.

Baie baie lekker en gesellig. Baie diere gesien en ons het die natuur sommer baie geniet. Die swembad by Lillydale kamp kort bietjie aandag. Ons het lekker geswem maar ek stel voor hulle kry professionele swembaddienste in om die pomp en creepy te hersien.

Lekker gekuier dankie.

Very very nice and cozy. Saw many animals and we really enjoyed nature. The pool at Lillydale Camp needs some attention. We had a nice swim but I suggest they get professional pool services in to review the pump and creepy.

Have a nice time thank you.

Nie wat ons gewoond is van Parkeraad nie.

Die park is pragtig, maar ons het gevoel die huisies is nie op die standaard wat ons van die parkeraad gewoond is nie.

The park is beautiful, but we felt the cottages were not up to the standard we are used to from the park board.

A memorable stay. Game drives with animals around every corner, clean crisp air, sun set braais, warm snug accommodation.

See stars.

Very nice stay!

Lillydale was a very nice place to stay. Very clean and everything you need. We really did see a lot of animals which is ultimately why we went there! Unfortunately the 16 km dirt road before you enter the Lillydale road is extremely bad, and from my perspective not really accessible with a normal sedan or smaller car. The roads within the park are fine though.
