Perfekte ligging vir reis in area.

Het meer verwag. Byvoorbeeld, kombuisware was minimalisties en van die items wat voorsien is, was nie op standaard nie. Daar was 'n laat of geen reaksie op WhatsApp-boodskappe nie. Die WiFi-sein en internet spoed was swak. Ek het die gasstoof en basiese beligting tydens beurtkrag waardeer. Die gasheer het baie goeie advies gegee oor toeriste bestemmings. Ek het onveilig gevoel - die hek wat toegang gee na die plek was nie gesluit in nagte nie, omdat beurtkrag blykbaar probleme met die hekmotor veroorsaak volgens die eienaar.

Perfect location for area travel.

Expected more. For example, kitchenware was minimalist and some of the items provided were not up to standard. There was a late or no response to WhatsApp messages. The WiFi signal and internet speed were poor. I appreciated the gas stove and basic lighting during load shedding. The host gave very good advice about tourist destinations. I felt unsafe - the gate giving access to the place was not locked at night because load shedding seems to cause problems with the gate motor according to the owner.

It was wonderful, but showering was not comfortable at all. The challenge was the floor tiles which are slippery and can easily lead to injury as well as the sloping of the floor tiling.

They can invest more on water reticulation especially for flushing of toilet. Lastly, we all know energy frustration, but they can invest in backup power like a generator.

Hi Reggie,

Please note as we are a protected nature reserve area we are not allowed to have a generator due to the noise.
That is why we provide emergency lights, candles and a gas plate for when there is loadshedding.

Kind Regards,

Sal definitief weer daar bly.

Die verblyf is netjies, skoon, en alles wat mens benodig is beskikbaar. Ons was baie beïndruk met die geriewe wat beskikbaar was en ons is baie vriendelik ontvang. Daar was vir ons ook 'n kaart van die beste roetes en raad oor wat die beste roete sou wees na die Kruger Park (Orpen Hek). Advies is gegee oor besige paaie en wat die beste tyd sou wees om te vertrek en watter paaie en roetes om te vermy. Die badkamer was skoon en netjies en die bed was mooi skoon oorgetrek.

Will definitely stay there again.

The accommodation is neat, clean, and everything you need is available. We were very impressed with the facilities that were available and we were received very kindly. There was also a map of the best routes for us and advice on what would be the best route to the Kruger Park (Orpen Hek). Advice was given on busy roads and what would be the best time to leave and which roads and routes to avoid. The bathroom was clean and tidy and the bed was nicely and cleanly covered.

Beautiful location and cheap, but isn't clean and the beds are very old as well as the bathroom and the towels.

The view from the lodge is absolutely breathtaking and the owners are nice. The price is great, but guys, buy new towels, renovate the bathrooms and the most important thing, teach your staff how to clean a place that hosts different people every few nights. It's not a one family house, so there can't be someone's hair in the shower, dirty carpets and 200 years old towels. It's very unpleasant. The beds are also from 19th century. It's not bad overall, but when the facilities are old, it has to be at least very clean!

Good day Ms Izaki,

Thank you for your review.

It concerns me that you say the chalet was not clean enough, as this is very unusual as most of our guests, usually German, praise us about the cleanliness. I will however investigate the specific chalet (number 6). The chalet you requested and were accommodated in was a one bedroom triple chalet with 3 very new single beds, possibly not the best for a couple and one child staying for 1 night, but that is what you requested. Our towels are replaced every 3 months which is way above hospitality standard, however if you wanted new (direct from their packaging) towels, all you needed to do was request it from the owner at the reception as the lodge is managed by the owner.

We pride ourselves with our service to our guests and thank you for staying with us.

Kind regards,
Wendel Hough

Fantasties! Awesome verby!

Ons was verras met die aankoms by Thaba Tsweni Lodge waar ons gasvry ontvang is deur die gasvrou wat ons eenheid vir ons aangewys het asook ons parkeerplek. Ons was verras met die ruim enkel-eenheid wat keurig toegerus is - die oop ruimtes van die eenheid asook die lodge het ons harte aangeraak omdat ons hou van ooptes en ruimtes. Die lodge self was baie netjies en het die mooiste uitsig vanwaar dit geleë is!

We were surprised upon arrival at Thaba Tsweni Lodge where we were hospitably received by the hostess who assigned us our unit as well as our parking space. We were surprised with the spacious single unit which is well equipped - the open spaces of the unit as well as the lodge touched our hearts because we like open spaces and spaces. The lodge itself was very neat and has the most beautiful view from where it is located!

Zeer goed adres voor het doel van ons verblijf

Wij zochten als familie van 5 één overnachting rond Graskop, en stuitten op Thaba Tsweni. Vriendelijke eigenaar, mooi uitzicht; degelijk ingerichte lodges -we huurden er 2-, typisch iets voor de jaren-70 fans (maar erg mooi afgewerkt). Niet hun hond en kat voeren a.u.b., die eten zich al letterlijk rond aan de avocado's daar. Gewoon goed, dus.

As a family of 5, we were looking for one overnight stay around Graskop, and stumbled upon Thaba Tsweni. Friendly owner, nice view; well-equipped lodges -we rented 2-, typically something before the 70s fans (but very nicely finished). Please don't feed their dog and cat, they literally eat themselves around the avocados there. Just fine, then.

A most relaxing weekend which we would recommend to anyone

We arrived at 6pm to find the office was closed, but were directed to Windell's apartment. Were greeted as long lost friends - nothing was too much for him to assist us. We were placed in the Honeymoon Suite, which was excellent. All the surrounding buildings were of the same class. We would like to thank Wendell and all his staff for the magnificent stay we had with them - sorry it was only a weekend. We come down to the Mpumulanga Lowveld 4 times a year to really relax - and that is just what we get when the surroundings are excellent. Keep it up. Stanley Jacobs & Johan Jooste.
