Just what the doctor ordered!

It had all one needs for an overnight stay and a terrific host to go with it. Thanks.

Die akkommodasie en ontbyt is uit die hoogste rakke.

Daar is 'n pragtige tuin met baie voëls en 'n swembad om in af te koel. Die kamer was gerieflik met 'n mooi uitsig oor die tuin. Die eienaars was baie gasvry en het ons 'n heerlike ontbyt bedien.

Dave's Response

Thank you so much for your lovely review Donald. It was a pleasure having you stay with us, and we look forward to seeing you again in the future. Best wishes, Samantha and Dave.

Pleasant and peaceful.

Would have liked parking closer to the rooms. It's quite a distance to walk with luggage.

Rustig en aangenaam.

Sou graag parkering nader aan die kamers wou gehad het, redelike ent om te loop met bagasie.

Uitstekende en vriendelike diens met vyfster akkommodasie.

Sunbird Lodge is 'n pragtige gastehuis met uitstekende, netjiese en uiters skoon akkommodasie (beste matrasse wat ons nog ooit in 'n gastehuis gehad het). Dave was 'n wondelike gasheer wat uit sy pad gegaan het om te verseker dat ons ons verblyf geniet en dat ons volledig ingelig was oor al die fasiliteite in en om Phalaborwa, wat die weervoorspelling was en waar om wat te kry. Ontbyt was heerlik, bedien in 'n pragtig versierde, skoon en netjiese eetkamer. Hierdie is beslis 'n gastehuis wat elke besoeker aan Phalaborwa met graagte kan oorweeg en ...

Beautiful and comfortable but sadly unsafe.

A beautiful and comfortable stay with a lovely breakfast and helpful staff. Make sure that you lock up securely. We unfortunately did not and got robbed of cellphones, jewellery, cash and laptops at 03:00 while sleeping. All our own negligence.

Dave's Response

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. We are extremely sorry for the regrettable incident which occurred. It's not a common thing to happen and such a shame that it could have been avoided by simply locking your door when you slept as we advised. We take the safety of our guests very seriously and are looking at taking further steps to avoid instances like this ever happening again and hope it won't deter you from visiting us on future occasions. We hope you had a great time in the Kruger!

Baie gemaklik in 'n stil voëlryke omgewing.

Van die vriendelike ontvangs deur die eienaar, die begeleide toer van die opset, die stil atmosfeer in die lapa in 'n voëlryke tuin, die skoon gemaklike kamer met enorme bad tot die baie smaaklike ontbyt van vrugte uit eie tuin was die tydjie regtig aangenaam.

Freek K
With spouse/partner

A pleasant stay.

A very pleasant stay. The host was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

Fantasties. Lekker gebly.

Dave gaan uit sy pad om jou welkom te laat voel. Die slaap-eenhede is skoon en netjies, veilige parkeerplek en tot 'n swembad as 'n mens wil afkoel in die warm Phalaborwa son. Voorwaar fantasties. O ja die ontbyt is ook heerlik.

Bob L

We had a very good experience ─ this is a real gem.

We could not fault this peaceful, comfortable and reasonably priced establishment and the service received from TravelGround was exceptional. We will not hesitate to recommend Sunbird Lodge.

Thank you very much for your comments Bob, really pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. Looking forward to seeing you next time.

Very friendly host!

Sunbird Lodge is very good located near the Phalaborwa gate. The surroundings are beautiful and David was the friendliest host we ever met.

Sieg K
With spouse/partner

Vriendelike ontvangs, gerieflike kamer en rustigheid.

Dave het ons dadelik gehelp. Inboek was vinnig en effektief. Hy kon ons raad bied oor ons versoeke soos die naaste OTM, kruidenierswinkel en restaurant. Ontbyt was baie lekker en vinnig voorberei.

Andre S
With spouse/partner

Very good.

The accommodation and reception were both good. We were welcomed and shown to our room. They gave us a map of possible eateries in Phalaborwa. We will definitely stay there again and recommend it to friends.

Baie goed.

Die verblyf en ontvangs was baie goed. Ons was ontvang en die kamer vir ons gewys. Ons is van 'n kaart voorsien van moontlike eetplekke in Phalaborwa. Ons sal definitief weer daar bly en vir ons vriende aanbeveel.

Convenient stop on the way to the Kruger National Park.

Neat, clean guesthouse and very friendly, helpful owner.

Gerieflike stop voor jy die Wildtuin besoek.

Netjiese, skoon gastehuis en baie vriendelike en hulpvaardige eienaar.

Die eienaar was voorwaar vriendelik en hulpvaardig, en ons het die gepakte ontbyte ontsettend waardeer!

Sunbird is absoluut pragtig - dit is 'n lieflike oornagplek, en die eienaar wat ons ontvang het, was werklik baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Ons het vir ontbytpakkies gevra, en dit was reeds die vorige aand aan ons oorhandig, wat ons geweldig waardeer het omdat ons vroeg in die pad wou val. Die ontbyte was heerlik, vars en vullend. Sal beslis weer van die Lodge gebruik maak!

Dave's Response

Thank you so much for your kind words. I am really pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. Hope you enjoyed the trail in the Kruger? See you all next time.

Soos al die vorige kere bly dit 'n ideale oorslaap op pad na die Kruger!

Maak elke keer wat ons by Phalaborwa hek van die Kruger ingaan, gebruik van die oorslaap. Prys sluit ontbyt in en meestal vertrek ons te vroeg vir ontbyt, hulle pak 'n heerlike om saam te vat! Puik diens!

Dave's Response

Many thanks for the lovely review, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us, yet again. We look forward to seeing you both again.

Sunbird Lodge is ons gereelde oorslaapplek indien ons Kruger by Phalaborwa-hek wil ingaan!

Elke keer is ons verblyf baie gerieflik, skoon en word ons baie vriendelik en gasvry ontvang.

Ons is vriendelik ontvang en het baie lekker oornag in 'n skoon kamer.

Ons is vriendelik ontvang met ons aankoms. Die kamer was skoon en ruim. Die bed het aan ons die nodige nagrus verskaf. Die volgende oggend het ons 'n heerlike ontbyt geniet voor ons vertrek het. 'n Definitiewe JA vir Sunbird Lodge.

Soos voorheen was dit 'n plesier om daar oor te bly.

Dave het ons gehelp op 'n vorige besoek, toe die bespreking by 'n ander lodge 'n absolute riller was ... en dit sonder 'n bespreking.
