Thembe Eco Lodge

Lekker gebly en ablusies en staanplekke is skoon en netjies.

Ons het baie lekker gebly en die diens is baie goed. Die bestuur is altyd beskikbaar en baie behulpsaam. Hulle het ons tot in 'n chalet laat slaap die laaste aand toe daar 'n storm was en ons skade gehad het met ons tent. Hulle gebruik boorgat water so jy kan die water drink en hulle is redelik sentraal om orals uit te kom. Ons sal definitief weer van hulle gebruik maak.

Vriendelike bestuur, nie so vriendelike rondawel.

Ons het 'n kamppeerplek bespreek by Thembe Eco Lodge oor 'n langnaweek. Met aankoms was ons vriendelik verwelkom en ons staanplek is aangewys. Eerste ding wat pns opmerk is dat ons die enigste gaste is vir die naweek - dit moet reeds 'n rooi lig wees. Die staanplekke is netjies, elkeen met 'n braai, kragpunt en kampliggie. Die ablusieblok is ook netjies en skoon, ten spyte van die feit dat daar net een toilet is (gelukkig was ek die enigste een wat dit so gebruik). Ek kan ook nie onthou dat ek 'n opwasarea gesien het nie. Oor die algemeen was ons geluk bietjie uit en het met aankoms baie slegte weer gehad (sterk wind en bietjie reën). Met die gestoei van tent opslaan, het een van die bestuurders gekom om vir ons die rondawel aan te bied teen dieselfde prys; baie dankbaar het ons die offer aanvaar en die rondawel word toe vinng vir ons afgestof. Ek weet mens kyk nooit 'n gegewe perd in die bek nie, maar daardie rondawel sal my nie sommer weer sien nie. Ons kon dadelik agterkom dat daar baie lanklaas gaste was. Die eetgerei is vol spinnerakke, die beddegoed vol geitjie vuilgeit, Daddy-Long-legs in die yskas, vismotte aan die toiletrol, ens. Dit alles nadat daar vir ons eers skoongemaak is. Die watersisteem is foutief, draai die badkamerkraan oop en water begin by die kombuiskraan ook uitloop. Die toilet het net nou en dan gewerk. Ek kan die bestuur seker nie kwalik neem nie, omdat hul nie iemand in die rondawel verwag het nie, maar ek voel so plek moet maar altyd tip-top gehou word vir ingeval iemand op nommer 99 daar wil inboek. Op 'n ander positiewe noot, het 'n dame darem ons rondawel weer kom skoonmaak op 'n vakansiedag.

Quiet.

The road to the accommodation is very sandy. A bakkie is your best bet.

Pathetic, dirty, unpleasant woman.

I had to phone during the night to complain about the taps that weren't working. Not a single mirror in the entire place! If we hadn't been driving for 9 house and arrived so late we would've left immediately. We left very early the following morning and found new lodgings on our way. I would strongly recommend you avoid this place.

Very neglected unit, bad quality for price paid.

Staff on premises was friendly and helpful. Unit is not up to standard with regards to price paid.

Good value for money.

Went with a sedan, got stuck on sand and lost a bumper. Safe, secure, didn't have electricity for 3/3 evenings, 1 evening due to the the plug points not working, 2 evenings due to thunderstorms striking an electricity box. Still a lovely experience. Would go again with a different vehicle.

Teleurstellend aangesien die oord baie potensiaal het.

Die eenheid was baie slordig binne en lugversorging het nie gewerk die eerste aand nie. Nadat ons die eienares in kennis gestel het, het sy dit laat herstel.

Definitely won't recommend staying there to anyone.

I myself have worked in the tourism industry for 10 years and I am truly shocked by the service of this place. Firstly, there is no one at the reception to welcome the guests and make sure they are checked in. That is if you can find the place. It is very poorly signed and the signs that do exist are extremely small and you have to look properly to find them. Our booking was for 3 chalets and a camping spot. From the 27th December to the 3rd January for 11 people. Only one toilet roll was available for this period as clearly stated in their rules and regulations. Some of our party left early and I then moved into a chalet. The owner then wanted to charge me again because I was not the original guest. That meaning that 3 chalets were now paid for till 3rd by my family and I could not use any of them. After a heated discussion with the owner they merely said that if you leave early, it's your own choice. The aircon in two chalets were not working and no attempt was made to fix it, only a 'sorry' from management. All in all, the worst place I have visited and will definitely spread word to not use this place. Step up your game Thembe.

Beauttiful views, simple accommodation.

Beautiful views on top of the mountain. Our A-frame unit was self-catering accommodation. Basic, clean and nice. Friendly atmosphere, tranquil. The water pump is not isolated and is noisy, especially at night.

Walking the extra mile.

Juan and his mother contacted us about every hour on the day of arrival just to make sure that we are okay and travelling safely. We unfortunately get lost and couldn't find Thembe Lodge. They guided us and even suggested that they will come and look for us, which was luckily not necessary. Juan and his mother is very kind and they really walk the extra mile. thanks for your kindness!
