Ontspannend en rustig.

Baie lekker plekkie, rustig in die natuur, presies waarna ons gesoek het, sal ons beslis weer sien vir 'n opvolgkuier. Baie vriendelike ontvangs met aankoms en behulpsaamheid vanaf gasheer.

Rustige verblyf op 'n wildsplaas.

Ons het heel rustig gebly. Ongelukkig het dit die aand redelik gereën en was die krag grootliks af (ek besef dat dit nie in beheer van die lodge is nie). Ons kon darem op 'n gasbottel water kook. Ons het gemaklik geslaap, maar dit sou tog lekker gewees het as 'n mens (so saam met die reën) meer gerieflik kon sit binne-in die huis (die sitplek binne-in die huis is beperk). Dit gesê, besef ek dat die akkommodasie waarskynlik meer mik vir groter groepe mense wat dan almal saam in die lapa kuier.

Peaceful accommodation on a game farm.

We stayed very calm. Unfortunately it rained quite a bit that night and the power was largely out (I realize that this is not under the control of the lodge). At least we could boil water on a gas bottle. We slept comfortably, but it would have been nice if (with the rain) one could sit more comfortably inside the house (the seating inside the house is limited). Having said that, I realize that the accommodation is probably aimed more at larger groups of people who then all hang out together in the lapa.

Baie dankie vir jou terugvoer, Elna. Ja, ons het nogal 'n redelike storm gehad en as die hele streek se krag uitgeslaan is deur die weer, is dit nogal baie sleg. Ons is jammer daaroor. Omstandighede buite ons beheer.
Ek besef sitplek binne in die chalet sou lekkerder wees, maar onder normale omstandighede is gaste meeste van die tyd buite. Sal tog 'n plan maak en kyk wat ons kan doen vir verbetering.

It was peaceful. Loved the experience.

My only problem was that we had to require service on things that were part of the package. For instance, they didn't want to clean the pool and also had to ask for a game drive.

Nontsikelelo, the pool was perfecty clean. Visitors from Denmark used pool in the morning before we had that rain storm. When you checked in, I asked what time you want the drive on Saturday. You said you will tell me in the morning when you visit the animal farm. The vehicle was ready at 5pm to take you on drive.

Wonderlike naweek. Baie mooi natuur en baie diere gesien.

Rustig en veilig. Chalets is baie netjies en gerieflik. Kan die lodge beslis aanbeveel vir enige natuurliefhebbers jonk en oud. Ons was by die lodge met seuns 17 en 15 & wat dit baie geniet het om uit die stad te kom. Lieflike swembad area wat almal kan geniet. Chalets is in die bosveld, maklik bereikbaar met plaveide padjies teen 'n hoër koppie met 'n pragtige uitsig en bokke wat oral verby beweeg. Die chalets is baie skoon en netjies toegerus met als wat nodig is. Wonderlike gasvryheid. Kan beslis die lodge aanbeveel.

Wonderful weekend. Very beautiful nature and many animals seen.

Quiet and safe. Chalets are very neat and comfortable. Can definitely recommend the lodge to any nature lovers young and old. We were at the lodge with boys 17 & 15 & who really enjoyed getting out of the city. Lovely pool area that everyone can enjoy. Chalets are in the bushveld, easily accessible with paved paths up a higher hill with a beautiful view and goats passing by everywhere. The chalets are very clean and neatly equipped with everything you need. Wonderful hospitality. Can definitely recommend the lodge.

Heerlike ontspan in die natuur.

Dit was 'n heerlike naweek. Die 3 tieners het hul self besig gehou met potspel en swem. Die leeu-voer en die wildrit was 'n bonus en ons het dit baie geniet. Vir iemand wat van kosmaak hou was die kombuistoerusting beperk, maar ons kon doen wat ons wou.

It was a lovely weekend. The 3 teenagers kept themselves busy with potty play and swimming. The lion feed and the game drive were a bonus and we really enjoyed it. For someone who likes to cook, the kitchen equipment was limited, but we could do what we wanted.

Doen jouself 'n guns en besoek hierdie juweel van 'n plek!

'n Stukkie hemel op aarde! Nederige huisies weggesteek tussen die koppies, rustigheid sonder enige gejaag, ongelooflike sonsondergang game drive en die voorreg om die mooiste diere te sien. Hoe het ons die stukkie mooi misgekyk en net altyd verbygery? Ons kon saans afskakel onder die sterre, sonder tegnologie, langs 'n braaivuurtjie. Tannie Erika en Oom Theuns is die nederigste gashere, en laat jou dadelik welkom en tuis voel. Pak 'n naweekkoelboks in en gaan kruip weg tussen die niks en nêrens. Saterdae kan jy diertjies voer en die mooiste leeus besigtig (Wow! Wow! Wow!) Wat 'n ongelooflike belewenis! Op die game drive kon ons 'n ongelooflike verskeidenheid ander dierspesies, bokke en pragtige voëls besigtig - die mooiste was die pragtige renosters. Kevin was ons drywer en het spesiaal gestop as ons iets wou vasvang op kamera. Doen jouself 'n guns en gaan kuier by die kosbare plekkie! Geen fieterjasies nie, net plattelandse gasvryheid en mooi natuurskoon.

Do yourself a favor and visit this gem of a place!

A piece of heaven on earth! Humble houses hidden among the hills, tranquility without any rush, incredible sunset game drive and the privilege of seeing the most beautiful animals. How did we overlook the piece and just always drive by? We could switch off at night under the stars, without technology, next to a barbecue. Aunt Erika and Uncle Theuns are the most humble hosts, and immediately make you feel welcome and at home. Pack a weekend cooler and go hide in the middle of nowhere. On Saturdays you can feed animals and see the most beautiful lions (Wow! Wow! Wow!) What an incredible experience! On the game drive we could see an incredible variety of other animal species, goats and beautiful birds - the most beautiful were the beautiful rhinos. Kevin was our driver and stopped specially if we wanted to capture something on camera. Do yourself a favor and visit the precious place! No frills, just country hospitality and beautiful scenery.

Dit was 'n kort kuiertjie, sou graag langer wou bly, but duty calls! Theuns en Erika was baie gasvry en het ons baie vriendelik ontvang.

Baie mooi wild gesien, by die watergat en ook op die 3 km-plaaspad waar jy inry by die plaas. Theuns het spesiaal vir ons die TV Saterdag-middag op die rugbykanaal gesit om te kan kyk. Die chalets is baie oulik, laat jou sommer tuis voel met 'n lekker plaas-atmosfeer. Kinders het lekker geswem by die swembad wat reg voor ons chalet se voordeur is, met 'n baie mooi bos-uitsig. Dit was wonderlik, ons gaan definitief weer 'n draai hier maak wanneer ons weer 'n oop naweek het. Ons het die wildsbesigtigingrit gemis, want tyd was maar ingeperk. Gaan dit definitief volgende keer doen as ons weer gaan. Daar was ook hokke met wild en ander tropiese voëls in, poue wat rondloop ens. Well done Theuns en Erika! Dit was great!

It was a short visit, would have liked to stay longer, but duty calls! Theuns and Erika were very hospitable and received us very kindly.

Very nice wildlife seen, at the water hole and also on the 3 km farm road where you drive into the farm. Theuns put the TV on the rugby channel especially for us on Saturday afternoon so we could watch. The chalets are very cute, make you feel right at home with a nice farm atmosphere. Children had fun swimming at the pool which is right in front of our chalet's front door, with a very nice forest view. It was great, we are definitely going to visit here again when we have another open weekend. We missed the wildlife viewing drive as time was limited. Will definitely do it next time we go again. There were also cages with game and other tropical birds in them, peacocks walking around etc. Well done Theuns and Erika! It was great!

Tarentaalrand het baie potensiaal om 'n prag bestemming te kan word.

Swembad was groen, so ons kon nie swem terwyl dit baie warm was nie. Die dierepark en die area om die dierepark was baie vuil en onversorg. Die 6-sleeper eenheid waarin ons gebly het (no. 3) is nie regtig geskik vir 4 volwassenes en 2 kinders nie, dalk 2 volwassenes en meer kinders. Afgesien hiervan is ons wel vriendelik ontvang en die omgewing was baie stil en rustig gedurende nie nag, wat ons baie waardeer het. Dankie.

Tarantula edge has a lot of potential to become a beautiful destination.

Pool was green so we couldn't swim while it was very hot. The zoo and the area around the zoo were very dirty and unkempt. The 6-sleeper unit we stayed in (no. 3) is not really suitable for 4 adults and 2 children, maybe 2 adults and more children. Apart from this we were welcomed and the environment was very quiet and peaceful during the night, which we really appreciated. Thank you.

Goeie dag.
Baie dankie vir die terug voer.
Ek vra onverskoning vir die groen swembad. Ons het die 5de Januarie ongelooflike swaar weer gehad en die ysterkoppie waarin die Lodge gebou is, veroorsaak dat die swembad water se kleur verander. Ons het wel dadelik aandag daaraan geskenk (die oggend wat julle arriveer het van die 6de Januarie), maar dit vat gewoonlik so 2 dae om weer na normaal terug te keer. Baie jammer omstandighede buite ons beheer. Ons het bitter lank gewag vir die reen. Was nogal 'n baie erge droogte vir ons.

Salig, stil en rustig.

Die ligging van die lodge is perfek vir 'n rustige en stil wegbreek van die stad en om weer die prag van die Melkweg te sien. Die verskeidenheid van wild gesien tydens die safari-rit was meer as wat ons verwag het. Die personeel was baie vriendelik, en ons tuis laat voel. Die hoogtepunt was om by die leeuhokke te staan en te luister hoe hulle almal terselfdertyd brul.

Blissful, quiet and peaceful.

The location of the lodge is perfect for a peaceful and quiet break from the city and to see the magnificence of the Milky Way again. The variety of wildlife seen during the safari drive was more than we expected. The staff was very friendly and made us feel at home. The highlight was standing by the lion cages and listening to them all roar at the same time.
