Relaxed and chilled.

I enjoyed the stay and my daughters had a nice time. The staff was very friendly. The only scary time was at night with all the noises outside, but that's part of staying at a game lodge.

Thali Thali Game Lodge 's response

Dear Karen,

We are very glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Because the farm is so quiet at night - away from the city noises - you will hear all the animal activity around. That is the beauty of a game lodge! Thank you so much for your support.

Kind regards,
Amalia

Friendly people.

Thali Thali is conveniently situated not too far from Cape Town. Friendly people and wonderful staff. The restaurant on the property is great and is highly recommended. I enjoyed the silence with only the birds and owls to break that silence. Fallow deer and buffalo walked among the cottages. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Refreshing, well worth it, tranquil.

We had an awesome time, a very lovely place. A 10/10. Some things to note: cellphone reception is not the best, and there are mosquitoes. But these things are to be expected given the location.

Plek mooi. Baie rustig.

Plek mooi en mense baie vriendelik. Hulle kan net opgradeer wat aanbetref ons kragonderbrekings. Ons kon nie stort of kosmaak of koffie drink toe krag af was nie aangesien die pomp vir water met elektrisiteit werk en daar ook nie gasgeriewe nie.

Nice place. Very calm.

Nice place and very friendly people. They can only upgrade as far as our power outages are concerned. We couldn't shower or cook or drink coffee when the power was off as the pump for water works with electricity and there are no gas facilities either.

Baie min onderhoud op die eenhede, toilet spoel as gevolg 'n watertoevoerprobleem, voorafgestelde gasstort is koud, kraan in wasbak heeltemal los. Hulle wil hê jy moet rapporteer maar meeste van die probleme is definitief nie nuut nie.

Ek het webtuiste die balans die Vrydag betaal maar teen Sondag was die lodge nog nie betaal nie. Dit het konsternasie veroorsaak toe ek wou ry. Die bestuurder is baie vinnig uit die blokke om te argumenteer, nie die moeite werd om enigeiets net haar op te neem nie. In geheel was die ondervinding baie slegter as wat julle mooi prentjies voorstel. Sal nooit weer daar bly nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Very little maintenance on the units, toilet flushes due to a water supply problem, preset gas shower is cold, faucet in sink completely loose. They want you to report but most of the problems are definitely not new.

I paid the balance online on Friday but by Sunday the lodge had not been paid. This caused consternation when I wanted to drive. The manager is very quick out of the blocks to argue, not worth taking anything just her up. Overall, the experience was much worse than your pretty pictures suggest. Will never stay there again.

Lekker gerus.

Die huisies kon verder gewees het van die restaurant en ander geriewe af, aangesien 'n kinderpartytjie nou nie deel van ons beplanning was toe ons bespreek het nie - die mak bokkies wat uit jou hand uit kom eet maak als die moeite werd. Die vuurherd is fantasties vir die winter maande, ons het 'n baie lekker tyd gehad.

Have fun.

The cottages could have been further from the restaurant and other facilities, as a children's party was not part of our planning when we booked - the tame goats that come to eat out of your hand make it all worth it. The fireplace is fantastic for the winter months, we had a very nice time.

Rustige kuier in die natuur saam met baie gasvrye personeel.

Was te kort daar om alles te geniet en sal beslis volgende keer 'n wildrit wil doen. Het die boogskiet baie geniet! Ruim tent met alles wat nodig is en lekker bederfies. Die winter byt maar bietjie, maar die verhitte bed en verwarmer maak op daarvoor. Baie dankie vir almal wat uit hulle pad gaan om dit 'n aangename ervaring te maak!

Was there too short to enjoy everything and will definitely want to do a game drive next time. Really enjoyed the archery! Spacious tent with everything you need and nice treats. The winter is biting, but the heated bed and heater make up for it. Many thanks to everyone who goes out of their way to make this a pleasant experience!

A taste of the wild without having to travel far to get there.

We were pleasantly surprised by the size and quality of the tented accommodation. This place is incredible value for money. The service was five star and the staff super friendly. While you're not in the most spectacular setting deep in the bush, this also has its pros when you have two young kids and can't travel far out of Cape Town but want them to experience a safari. We really did love our stay, the experience with the giraffes is one we will never forget and I would absolutely recommend Thali Thali.

Die stilte doen wonders aan mens.

Die stilte is wonderlik en as jy die natuur wil beskou is daar wildsritte beskikbaar of ander vermaak. Ons het die glamping gedoen en dit is 'n wenner indien jy nie gewoond is aan kamp nie.

'n Stukkie goud weggesteek 'n klipgooi van Langebaan af!

Ek en my man het die Thali Thali gekies vir ons 12 jaar-huweliksherdenking. Alles was perfek vanaf die verwelkomingsdrankies tot die buffet-ontbyt die oggend voor ons huis toe is. Ons het die game drive en die archery klasse gedoen en albei kan hoogs aanbeveel word. Ons verblyf was die canvas tente en was dit nie lieflik nie. Pragtige dekor en heerlik snoesig ten spyte van die koue weer. Die eienaars en personeel is vriendelike en behulpsaam en dra jou op die hande. Hierdie was regtig verblyf wat ek vir ewig sal koester.

A piece of gold hidden a stone's throw from Langebaan.

My husband and I chose Thali Thali for our 12-year wedding anniversary. Everything was perfect from the welcoming drinks until the buffet breakfast in the morning before our departure. We did the game drive and the archery classes and both can be highly recommended. Our accommodation was the canvas tents and it was lovely. Beautiful decor and very cosy despite the cold weather. The owners and staff are friendly and helpful and carry you on their hands. This was really accommodation that I would cherish forever.

Baie rustig gewees!

Ek en my vrou het dit baie geniet! Ons het Saterdagoggend so bietjie “out of place” gevoel. Die kelners was baie koud! Nie eers gevra hoe ons ons eiers gaar wil hê nie en of ons bruin- of witbrood wil hê nie. Behalwe dit het ons lekker gerus. Die game drive was ook goed!

Lieflik en rustig.

Ons het dit vreeslik geniet by Thali Thali! Die restaurant se kos was heerlik en die porsies was groot! Die werkers is vriendelik en baie behulpsaam. Die enigste kritiek wat ek het is die wildrit waarop ons was. Die klein seuntjie wat daar bly het ons met sy vuisies geslaan op ons bene en skoene en gesê "Julle mag nie fotos neem nie" en "Dit is ons diere". Dit het my heelwat afgesit.

We had a great time at Thali Thali! The restaurant's food was delicious and the portions were huge! The workers are friendly and very helpful. The only criticism I have is the game drive we were on. The little boy who lives there hit us with his fists on our legs and shoes and said "You are not allowed to take pictures" and "These are our animals". It put me off quite a bit.

Clean, fresh, quiet and peaceful

If you need to break away for a while and do not want to be disturbed as a couple, this would be the ideal place! However if you are planning a get away with kids, I would not recommend, as there are not enough activities for children. A larger pool to accommodate adults, and to have the restaurant area moved to a more open space, away from the bar perhaps, would be ideal. Overall I would recommend this lodge and I think as far as marketing goes there is a lot of potential here.
