Pragtige omgewing. 'n Ruskans weg van die stad.

Sungubala is die perfekte plek vir asemrowende natuurskoon, stilte en rustigheid. As jy wil wegkom van die stad se bedrywighede, as jy hou van stap of bergfiets ry, dan is Sungubala die perfekte plek om te gaan. Wonderlike personeel laat jou dadelik tuis voel. Dis redelik afgeleë, maar absoluut die moeite werd!

Beautiful surroundings. A break away from the city.

Sungubala is the perfect place for breathtaking scenery, silence and tranquility. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, if you like hiking or mountain biking, then Sungubala is the perfect place to go. Wonderful staff make you feel right at home. It's quite remote, but absolutely worth it!

Sielsverrykkend.

Asemrowende natuur, pragtige staproetes en net wat nodig is om batterye te herlaai sommer omtrent op ons agterstoep.

Soul enriching.

Breathtaking nature, beautiful hiking trails and just what is needed to recharge batteries just about on our back porch.

Rondavel accommodation.

Three of us stayed in the twin rondavels and used the shared kitchen and lounge, only we were the only ones staying in the rondavels, so had the place to ourselves. It was quiet and tranquil. We did all the marked walks which were clearly marked and maintained. The scenery was breathtaking and the wildlife abundant. It really was a memorable stay and would thoroughly recommend it to others.

Nie waarde vir geld nie. Uiters teleurgesteld.

Die ligging is baie mooi tussen die berge, en die kamers het 'n mooi uitsig op die berge, behalwe die takke en bome voor ons eenheid kon “getrim” geword het om 'n mooier uitsig te hê. Ek verstaan dis 'n Eco kamp en omgewingsvriendelik maar nêrens het hulle gesê jy mag nie jou hare droogblaas nie? Dis amper winter en baie koud op die berg, so as iemand vir 'n winter soontoe gaan, maak maar seker jy vat genoeg dry shampoo saam! Daar is nie 1 "plug" in die kamer om jou foon te charge nie, jy moet maar in die kombuis/kuierplek gaan sit terwyl jou foon charge. Met ons aankoms moes ons ook 5 minute by reception wag voor 'n werker vir ons kom sê het ons kan maar kamp toe ry, iemand wag daar vir ons, waar ons daar ook 5 minute moes wag. Die plek se maintenance kan definitief verbeter, al die bosse en takke vat die hele view weg. Ons het 'n rondawel gehad, met net die slaapplek en 'n badkamer. Daar was nie eers 'n ketel of yskassie nie, jy moet gesamentlik die kombuis en yskaste gebruik en hoop iemand steel nie jou goed in die yskas nie. En met so mooi uitsig (let wel net aan die een kant van die vertrek se venster waar nie bome of bosse jou uitsig "spoil" nie) kan mens nie eers sit en 'n koppie koffie geniet in die bed in die oggend nie, tensy jy in die koue al die pad kombuis toe loop, koffie maak en al die pad weer terug loop kamer toe. Ons het Vrydagaand by 1 plek geslaap en Saterdag by Sungubala Eco Camp, daar was 'n prys verskil van R200 en ons was uiters teleurgesteld in wat ons gekry het vir ons waarde vir geld by Sungubala in vergelyking met ons slaapplek van Vrydagaand.

Not value for money. Extremely disappointed.

The location is very nice between the mountains, and the rooms have a nice view of the mountains, except the branches and trees before our unit could have been "trimmed" to have a nicer view. I understand it's an Eco camp and environmentally friendly but nowhere did they say you can't blow dry your hair? It's almost winter and very cold on the mountain, so if anyone goes there for a winter, make sure you take enough dry shampoo with you! There is not 1 "plug" in the room to charge your phone, you just have to sit in the kitchen/lounge while your phone charges. On our arrival we also had to wait 5 minutes at reception before a worker came and told us we could just drive to the camp, someone was waiting there for us, where we also had to wait 5 minutes there. The place's maintenance can definitely improve, all the bushes and branches take away the whole view. We had a rondavel, with just the sleeping place and a bathroom. There wasn't even a kettle or small fridge, you have to use the kitchen and fridges together and hope someone doesn't steal your stuff in the fridge. And with such a beautiful view (mind you only on one side of the room's window where no trees or bushes "spoil" your view) one cannot even sit and enjoy a cup of coffee in bed in the morning, unless you walk all the way to the kitchen in the cold, make coffee and walk all the way back to the room. We slept at 1 place on Friday night and at Sungubala Eco Camp on Saturday, there was a price difference of R200 and we were extremely disappointed in what we got for our value for money at Sungubala compared to our place to sleep on Friday night.

Die akkommodasie was skoon en voldoende. Die personeel vriendelik en behulpsaam en die berg soos altyd inspirerend mooi.

Stunning location with comfortable, value for money rooms.

The mountain landscape provides a dramatic backdrop to the Sungubala Eco Camp. The camp has very comfortable accommodation with a communal boma that has a self-catering kitchen, braai area and lounge complete with a cosy fireplace. This makes the camp ideal for large groups as the communal area keeps things social yet the separate rooms offer some privacy. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. We had an amazing stay and wished we could have stayed longer.

Spectacular!

What an incredible weekend! Sungubala is so beautiful, the facilities are well maintained, the staff are delightful and the hikes are breath taking. The best weekend getaway I’ve had for awhile. 10/10 would recommend.

Asemrowend mooi natuur.

Baie stil en goed. Hou van die feit dat daar net solar en gas is. Kom bietjie weg van die tegnologie, maar was teleurgesteld oor groepie mense wat kom raas en ons verblyf onaangenaam kom probeer maak het. Die oppasser was onder die invloed van drank.

Breathtakingly beautiful nature.

Very quiet and good. Love the fact that there is only solar and gas. Get away from the technology, but was disappointed by group of people who came to make noise and tried to make our stay unpleasant. The babysitter was under the influence of alcohol.

Amazing location with awesome hiking trails and friendly staff.

We had a lovely stay while doing the Run the Berg event. We stayed in the spacious rondavel and even though the unit did not have a kitchen we had an entire fridge to ourselves in one of the communal kitchens. Lovely braai and dining area with everything you could need and breathtaking views all around. We had a great experience.
