Onvergeetlik.

Dit was heerlik! Baie mooi en rustig. Kan dit definitief aanbeveel vir enige persoon wat wil wegbreek en net 'n bietjie vergeet van die gejaag van die lewe!

Was nice, won't go again because they are so expensive. And false advertising.

We expected wifi but there was none. And the one lady said she was going to see what she could do for us regarding jaccuzi. Then we had to pay a further R1350 for food and golf cart.

Baie mooi, maar verskriklik duur vir wat jy kry.

Die uitsig is baie mooi en die personeel is vriendelik, maar oorwerk. Die wasbak kraan in die tent het gelek en die vloer is nie stabiel nie. Die jacuzzi se water het ons laat voel asof ons in die vorige gaste se water en olies gesit het. Die ontbytprys is belaglik duur vir wat jy kry - R215.00 vir een ontbyt. Die vleis is hopeloos te duur en ons is baie geld gevra om die jacuzzi te gebruik, waarvan ons nie bewus was nie. Die eienaar het geen aanduiding gegee van die jacuzzi wat so duur gaan wees vir die gebruik nie en geen kostes was bespreek nie.

Very nice, but terribly expensive for what you get.

The view is very nice and the staff are friendly, but overworked. The sink faucet in the tent leaked and the floor is not stable. The jacuzzi's water made us feel as if we were sitting in the previous guests' water and oils. The breakfast price is ridiculously expensive for what you get - R215.00 for one breakfast. The meat is hopelessly overpriced and we were charged a lot of money to use the jacuzzi, which we were not aware of. The owner gave no indication of the jacuzzi being so expensive to use and no costs were discussed.

Thulani Game Lodge & Eco Estate 's response

Dear Marguerite, I agree, our views are outstanding, but better views will be difficult to find.
Regarding your perception of our staff being overworked, I find your observation very strange. All our staff are hard-working and have worked for the lodge for many, many years happily. If hard-working in your view is overworked unfortunately I have no further comment, other than to say most people are hard-working and not overworked as you may perceive.
Regarding the lux stilted tented units these are built on timber decks and not cast in concrete slabs, this adds to the bush veldt look and feel of the tented units, furthermore, no deck has let us down over the last 17 years.
With reference to the private heated jacuzzi, this is an option that you decide whether you would like to make use of or not. I refer you to our website where clearly it is displayed as an option. Options come with costs totally normal and acceptable by most people. After guests decide to make use of the Jacuzzi, upon vacating, we hygiene clean and refill it with fresh clean borehole water each on every instant. With reference to the oils and the rest, only you and your partner have spent time in the water in the private heated Jacuzzi.
The full English breakfast at R215.00 you perceive is expensive, which consists of a good brand of plunger ground coffee, at least 4 cups in the plunge, and fresh orange juice. Two pieces of bacon, cheese grillers, 2 fried eggs or scrabbled, 2 slices of toast, fresh butter, baked beans, a fried tomato, and fully garnished, served at our restaurant on heated plates. When last did you have a similar breakfast. Our meats have been sourced from the very best butchers, our pricing is completely in line with any good restaurant in Pretoria or Johannesburg.
On arrival, either my wife or myself would have checked you in and explained all, and if you were unsure or uncertain we would have answered any questions and explained any grey area that needed further explanation.
Lastly, on departure, my wife or I go through the bill with you and your partner item for item. At that point, you could have raised the points you now do, which were not raised with us at that time, and if there was a grey area we would have assisted is some way or another.
You score us 4 out of 5 on all items except value for money, clearly, the high cost of living today has passed you by.
Regards, Rodney.

Amazing long weekend getaway.

We had an amazing, totally relaxing long weekend. Our unit at Thulani Game Lodge & Eco Estate was absolutely beautiful, clean, and equipped with everything we needed. We loved the private pool and outdoor area. The surroundings were so peaceful and quiet, the perfect place to relax and get away from city life. I would also recommend a visit to the spa and restaurant. Definitely the best food and service we've had in a long time. We would also like to thank the owners and staff for the excellent service and friendliness we received.

Good afternoon, thank you for the good review. In terms of the road, this seems to be a country wide problem however we have two routes into the lodge, the second route is perfect. When revisiting I will update you on the best route to follow. For all other guests contact Rodney who will tell you which is the best route to take with no problems.

Thank you, Magdaleen, for the good comments, however, you stay co-inside with a number of larger upgrades which we are continually busy with. In our business, we need to complete these upgrades as soon as possible, and in some cases, guests do witness this happening, none the less, we have our hand firmly on the lodge and when visiting here next, all would have been completed. We thank you again and look forward to seeing you back again in the future.

Extremely disappointing.

I booked a chalet and a stilted tent and paid on the website. Being informed by Thulani the tents are not available but they are going to give us dinners, breakfasts, 1 game drive and 2 30 minute spa treatments to make up with the price paid. I sent WA and email, asked on the phone and upon check-in asked that we want our massage treatments on Monday at 14h00 plus extra sessions for which we will pay. Nowhere has this been confirmed by them. Just said they will communicate with us. Come 15h00 in the afternoon there are now many stories that we cannot go for treatments at the same time because there is only 1 therapist on duty and the spa closes at 17h00. It was the last straw, we just packed up and drove even though we had to check out the next day. I was extremely disappointed. Furthermore, Thulani is not at all up to standard like the photos on the website. Our chalet was definitely not cleaned or maintenance checked before we checked in. The night when we turned on the lights there were nests of old cobwebs hanging from the roof I was too scared to sleep. The tub had such nasty slime at the plug because of the leaky faucet. The ants walk back and forth in the bathroom and have built nests on the edge of the bath. The shower has 2 thin jets that drip so you struggle to get wet. For the money we paid it was not worth it at all. The small pool next to the chalet is dirty with a yellow and brown moss growing and clearly no chemicals in the water or a pool brush that cleans. There is a pile of construction debris on the way to the swimming pool which just looks unsightly. The breakfasts were so trite with the same scrambled eggs, sausages, tomato, toast and made sour orange juice. No options of granola with yogurt or fresh fruit. The dinners had 4 options the 1st night, 3 options the 2nd night and only 1 option the 3rd night. It was a thoroughly bad experience and not at all worth the money paid. The manager (owner) and his wife are arrogant and incompetent and did not apologize but instead pretended it was the guests' fault. Furthermore, they leave the handful of staff to try to make everything work without any supervision.

Ons het vreeslik lekker gekuier was meer as wat ons gedink het dit gaan wees.

Ons was ontvang goed ontvang by die aankoms. Ek en my vrou het regtig tuis gevoel en die natuur om ons het ons nader aan mekaar gebring. Die stilte en privaatheid was vir ons kosbaar en het ons nader aan mekaar en die Here gebring. Die golfkarretjie waarmee ons op wild ritte gegaan het was so uniek, ek en my vrou saam in die natuur. Die gasheer en sy vrou en hulle staf was amazing gewees.

The host and his wife and their staff were amazing.

Ons het heerlik gerus en ontspan vir 4 nagte.

Ons het die selfsorg-opsie geneem, en glad nie van die restaurantfasiliteite gebruik gemaak nie. Die oord was nie baie goed toegerus vir die loadshedding wat die area ondervind nie. Daar was sleg een flou herlaaibare liggie in ons kamer. Die bosveld is baie donker as die krag af is! Ons moes vra vir ekstra borde, eetgerei en glase aangesien daar net twee van elkeen in die kombuis was. Mens sou beter verwag van 'n 4 ster fasiliteit.

We had a wonderful rest and relaxation for 4 nights.

We took the self-catering option, and did not use the restaurant facilities at all. The resort was not very well equipped for the loadshedding that the area experiences. Unfortunately, there was one weak rechargeable light in our room. The woodland is very dark when the power is off! We had to ask for extra plates, cutlery and glasses as there were only two of each in the kitchen. One would expect better from a 4 star facility.

Thulani Game Lodge & Eco Estate 's response

aaf dat u heerlik gerus en ontspan het.

Die stilte en die eenvoudigheid van die bos en geluide het n wonderlike uit werking op n mens .

Thulani se personeel het uit hulle pad gegaan om u verblyf so gerieflik moontlik te maak . U eenheid is elke dag nagesien, bed opgemaak ens en skottlgoed elke dag gewas .

My apologie dat ons u nie kon akkommodeer vir u verlore dae nie weens ons hoe okkupasie .

Wat die beurt krag betref; daar is seker geen besigheid wat ten volle toegerus is vir hierdie tipe van genadelose aanslae nie. Ons boere en omgewing ondervind geweldige hoe beurtkrag

En kragonderbrekings en soms verander dit op die nipper. Ons gaste word deurentyd op hoogte gehou van die skedules om dit te vergemaklik en verrassings te voorkom. Die eenhede is toegerus met ten minste een gloeilamp wat deurentyd brand in die nag ten spyte van die beurtkrag. Beurtkrag was ten tye van u besoek meestal vanaf 9 nm in die aand. Sou dit op n

Ongemaklike tyd tydens die dag gebeur, het ons van generators gebruik gemaak. Dit kan ongelukkig nie deurnag hardloop en raas nie agv gaste wat meestal bos toe kom vir die stilte en nag geluide en vrede.

Fasiliteite is definitief eenvoudig gekies vir gerief. U slaap/ sit en koffie/ tee area is ingerig met d nodige eetgerei ens vir 2 gaste asook n ketel, yskas ens vir 2 gaste.

Die kombuis se fasiliteite is herhaal met alle eetgerei glase ens vir 2 gatse. Ook beskikbaar is n mikrogolf, yskas/ vrieskas , stofie met plate en oond. En die nodige geriewe vir 2 gaste Ons het op aanvraag al die eetgerei en borde glase bekers koppies verdubbel sodat daar 8 stelle van alles was.

Ons was vir 4 dae by Thulani Game Lodge in Bush Chalet nr. 8. Dit was rustig, mooi, skoon en ons het lekker gerus.

Ons het die rustigheid en natuurskoon baie geniet. Die bokkies wat vrylik rondloop en wei is besonders. Daar is geen geraas van kinders. "The Skinny Cook" by die restaurant is vir seker bekwaam in sy werk, ons het lekker geëet. Die personeel en Rodney was vriendelik, behulpsaam en het ons tuis laat voel. Ons sal vir seker weer daar gaan herlaai.

Goeiemore Meneer!
Lekker om te hoor dat u ons lodge en chalets baie mooi gevind het. Dit is werklik n pragtige plaas en wonderlik om hier te woon.
Dankie vir die komplimente.
Wat die res betref wens ek ek kon alles vir jou verniet gee!
Alles hier is openlik en ons praat met elke gas voor die tyd om te hoor watter diens hulle wil he. Alle kwotasies is vooruit beskikbaar.
Party gaste bring kos en hout, en ander wil alles hier koop en gebruik maak van al die dienste en aktiwiteite en hulle betaal.
Die keuse is absoluut persoonlik.
Nou-ja, groete en lekker slaap

Sal nie aanbeveel vir mense wat daarvan hou om als vooraf te betaal nie.

Ons is gewoond mens betaal vir die veblyf en meeste goed word ingesluit. By Thulani word niks ingesluit nie. Die hout wat daar is moet jy voor betaal, mens kry nie eers 1 sak verniet nie. Mens kies juis die huis en betaal meer vir die huis met die Jacuzzi. Dan moet mens ekstra daarvoor betaal om die Jacuzzi te gebruik. Mens mag nie 'n wildrit met jou eie voertuig neem nie en moet belaglik baie betaal vir 'n wildrit. Ek stel voor mens vat jou eie fietse of pak in hiking gear sodat mens die plaas te voet kan leer ken. Dis baie mooi. Maar mens voel heeltyd jy word gemelk vir elke sent wat mens het. So daardie gedeelte is glad nie lekker nie. Ek was al by baie plekke en daar is darem altyd iets komplimentêr vir die gaste. By Thulani is niks komplimentêr nie. Dis baie frustrerend. As mens nie omgee om gemelk te word vir als nie, sal ek dit aanbeveel. Dis regtig baie mooi. Die huisies is skoon en mooi.

Would not recommend for people who like to pay everything in advance.

We are used to paying for the accommodation and most things are included. Nothing is included in Thulani. You have to pay for the wood that is there, you don't even get 1 bag for free. One chooses the house and pays more for the house with the Jacuzzi. Then one has to pay extra to use the Jacuzzi. One is not allowed to take a game drive with one's own vehicle and has to pay a ridiculous amount for a game drive. I suggest you take your own bikes or pack in hiking gear so you can get to know the farm on foot. It's very beautiful. But you constantly feel you are being milked for every penny you have. So that part is not nice at all. I have been to many places and at least there is always something complimentary for the guests. At Thulani, nothing is complimentary. It's very frustrating. If you don't mind being milked for alder, I would recommend it. It's really very beautiful. The houses are clean and beautiful.

Bosveldverblyf op sy beste!

Oulike plek.

Thulani Game Logde is oulik en mooi en ek sal dit voorstel vir mense. Pasop net vir addisionele kostes wat die verblyf se prys baie kan opstoot. Die hout, bilts, jacuzzi, ritte, ens. is alles addisioneel en nogal duur. Mens kan vir die selfde prys by 'n vyfster gaan bly wat all-inclusive is.

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

Cute place.

Thulani Game Logde is cute and beautiful and I will suggest it to people. Just watch out for additional costs that can push the price of the accommodation up a lot. The wood, bilts, jacuzzi, rides, etc. is all additional and quite expensive. For the same price, one can stay at a five-star that is all-inclusive.

Thulani Game Lodge & Eco Estate is pragtig, dit is baie mooier as op die foto's. Ons het vreeslik lekker gebly, die uitsig is asemrowend! Alles was skoon en die bed baie gemaklik.

Privaat, rustig, stil, ontspannend.

Die uitsig oor die bosveld met die gepaardgaande privaatheid van jou eenheid is onverbeterbaar. Jy hoor niks anders as die naggeluide in die namiddag en aande nie. Roney en sy span maak altyd seker dat jy 100% tevrede is en of jy dalk iets kort. Ons het vergeet van die malle gejaag en COVID. 5-ster treatment.

Was ons huweliksherdenking. Rodney en sy span het uit hul pad uitgegaan om dit vir ons ekstra spesiaal te maak.

Die spa is beslis 'n wenner. Ek kan eintelik geen uitsonderings maak nie. Die kos is van uitstaande gehalte. En jy het die privaatheid wat jy wil hê. Chalets is skoon en van uitstaande gehalte! Ek sal Thulani Game Lodge beslis aanbeveel vir 'n romantiese naweek of sommer net 'n vinnige wegbreek vir jou en jou geliefde. Dit is nie net nog 'n lodge nie, die liefde en omgee wat daarin gesit word is tasbaar! Sal beslis weer gaan.

I would definitely recommend Thulani Game Lodge for a romantic weekend or just a quick getaway for you and your loved one. It's not just another lodge, the love and care put into it is palpable!

Quite disappointing for the price range. We have experienced far better for the same Rand value.

For the price, I was very disappointed with this venue. Fixtures are broken, the only light above the mirror in the bathroom didn't work, the tap of the bath didn't work, the towels smell musty and are old and worn. We requested dinner from the lodge and paid over R1000 for the worst quality meat (which we had to braai), stir fry veggies containing mostly onion, and a salad with questionable tomatoes. The cleaning staff walked in on us 2 hours before check out, because they decided to start cleaning up! I would not recommend this place to friend or foes.

Good afternoon Carla, Thulani is well renowned for its good food and service. 99% of our guest experience Thulani totally differently, this is more than evident on any platform you wish to choose.

Teleurstellend.

Ek het die standaard African Bush Chalet geboek vir een aand se verblyf, omrede dit bekostigbaar gelyk het op die foto's. Ek het laat die middag by die plaas aangekom omdat daar komplikasies was met my bespreking. Ek is toe na my kamer geneem wat nie naastenby soos die foto's gelyk het. Die kamertjie het 'n enkelbed, klein tafeltjie en 2 stoele in gehad. 'n Bedlampie op die tafel en 'n waaier is ook verskaf. Ek het vir my 'n tuisbak pizza gekoop om sommer in die oond te druk, want ek was nie lus vir kook nie. Ongelukkig was daar nie 'n oond in die kamer nie, of selfs 'n ketel om koffie te maak nie. Die eienaar het gesê hy kan iemand stuur om my kos gaar te maak en dit was sommer vinnig in die mikrogolfoond gedruk (nie baie smaaksaam nie). Dit was 'n baie onaangename ondervinding en glad nie wat ek verwag het nie. Ek sal nie sommer weer teruggaan nie.

Disappointing.

I booked the standard African Bush Chalet for one night's stay, as it looked affordable from the photos. I arrived at the farm late in the afternoon because there were complications with my reservation. I was then taken to my room which looked nothing like the pictures. The room had a single bed, small table and 2 chairs in it. A bedside lamp on the table and a fan were also provided. I bought myself a home-baked pizza to pop in the oven, because I didn't feel like cooking. Unfortunately there was no oven in the room, or even a kettle to make coffee. The owner said he could send someone to cook my food and it was just quickly microwaved (not very tasty). It was a very unpleasant experience and not at all what I expected. I won't just go back again.

Rustige wegbreek kans in 'n ruim, privaat eenheid met pragtige uitsig en betrokke diens.

Die fasiliteite voldoen aan die 4 ster-vereistes en is werklik lieflik. Geskikte dekor en aangename spa en wildrit. Op hierdie prysvlak kan daar ook meer aandag gegee word aan die afronding, byvoorbeeld dubbellaag toilet papier; en meer algemene kombuistoebehore vir selfsorg (soos snybord, rasper, kurktrekker ens.). Daar is ook 'n paar plekkies wat ons kan uitwys waar algemene instandhouding benodig word, soos die stortkop wat vervang moet word, die skuifdeur wat van die spoor af beweeg, gloeilampe wat uit is in die badkamer, granietblad in die kombuis wat gekraak is en die sitbank wat se materiaal al effe verweer is. 'n Mens mag ook nie self deur die reservaat ry nie, en omdat daar nie 'n wandelpad in die kamparea is nie, word mens maar beperk tot die eenheid.

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

Peaceful getaway opportunity in a spacious, private unit with beautiful views and engaging service.

The facilities meet the 4 star requirements and are truly lovely. Appropriate decor and pleasant spa and game drive. At this price level, more attention can also be paid to the finishing touches, for example double layer toilet paper; and more general kitchen accessories for self-catering (such as cutting board, grater, corkscrew etc.). There are also a few spots that we can point out where general maintenance is needed, such as the shower head that needs to be replaced, the sliding door that is moving off the track, light bulbs that are out in the bathroom, granite countertops in the kitchen that are cracked and the couch whose material is already slightly worn. You are also not allowed to drive through the reserve yourself, and because there is no footpath in the camp area, you are limited to the unit.

Bad experience, but beautiful location.

I wish I knew that the road gets very bad towards the end and my car wasn't very suitable. The host was very casual and the room was great. No WiFi in the room. The place was beautiful but the breakfast was over priced for what you get. They also didn't give back my credit card and 2 hours later when I found out and called they confirmed it was there, no apologies or explanation as to why they didn't give it back or why they didn't contact me. I had to cancel my card as I was too far away to fetch it. The place is very beautiful, the animals amazing and the rooms lovely, but the service was definitely lacking.

Baie goeie ervaring

If you enjoy peace and quiet in nature, this is the place to be. Contact was made weeks in advance and requirements confirmed. We were warmly received by Rodney, the hands-on owner, and his friendly staff. We were greeted by various antelope and giraffe on our way in. Plenty of game around. We were staying in Bush Chalet 8, but all chalets are designed in such a way that you have absolute privacy. Rodney goes out of his way to ensure you are comfortable and has everything you need. He is always that step ahead, calling you before you need to call him. The positive experience is made more personal when you are collected from your unit for any of the value-add services booked. We can recommend the full body massage at the Bush Spa, at the hand of a friendly and professional masseuse. She truly knows how to get you to unwind and relax. Plenty hiking and biking routes, so get as busy as you want. A sunrise hike is a very special experience here. Another very special experience is doing the self-drive Golf Cart game drive at dawn or dusk. The rate is per hour, so you can enjoy to your heart's desire. Highly recommended. Ideal for couples.

Romantic weekend away.

It was an amazing weekend. But I found it to be a bit too unorganised and communication to be a bit too on the fly. Like we had to speak about the same plans again and again and after a while it was just too much interaction. Too many people calling us for things and not just letting us be on our own. Not to mention the steep prices for any add-ons like breakfast and wood. It left the feeling like we were being pushed to keep adding on more activities for a nice fat bill at the end of the weekend which was really not a pleasant feeling. I would really recommend a better organised system. With price lists and pre-booking options and time slots before hand for any add on services or activities. So I would warn anyone else about this before booking.

Baie rustige bosveld atmosfeer.

DStv-pakket is Compact so geen sport kanale, mens hou nie eintlik vakansie om TV te kyk nie, maar somtyds wil mens darem sekere wedstryde kyk.

Thank for your input, however, in our conference room, we have the full DStv package on a big screen.
Had you have informed management we would have gladly assisted we were simply unaware of your need on the basis that there was no request.
Nonetheless great having you here and look forward to being of service sometime in the future.

Baie spesiaal.

As jy op soek is na 'n romantiese wegbreek (self-catering of all inclusive) is Thulani die plek. Hulle kamers is baie goed ingerig en ons het selfs 'n privaat Jacuzzi gehad. Etes kan in jou kamer of by die restaurant geniet word. Daar is ook 'n Spa op die perseel. Kontak gerus vir Rodney om meer uit te vind van die wildsritte. Dit is dit werd.

Huge frustration getting in and out of the premises as there is no one manning the gate.

Although the accommodation is very private, there are constantly disturbing staff. The codes for the gate provided did not work either.

Asemrowend mooi en uitstekende persoonlike diens.

As jy smag daarna om uit die ''rat race'' weg te kom om in die bosveld totaal van alles te vergeet, is Thulani Game Lodge die plek om van alles te vergeet. Dit is 'n boutique lodge en die persoonlike diens en aandag is uitstekend. Dit is 'n bonus dat dit net 2 ure van Johannesburg/Pretoria is. Dit was ons eerste besoek, maar ons gaan vir seker gereelde besoekers van Thulani word.

Aaklige omstandighede!

40°C met lugversorging wat ingeprop is by die muur en warm lug uitblaas. Waaiers is piepklein. Ricoffy word bedien. Jacuzzi’s het nie water in nie. Stortkoppe verstop met kalk, buitestorte is so verstop jy kan nie stort nie. Stort in badkamer onprakties, alles onder water as jy stort. Linne met strykyster gebrand, en jy moet onder dit slaap. Niemand by ontvangs, missie om tasse by jou kamer te kry. Absoluut die aakligste plek waarby ons gebly het. Hierdie is substandaard vir die prys wat ons betaal het!

Horrible circumstances!

40°C with air conditioning plugged into the wall and blowing hot air out. Fans are tiny. Ricoffy is served. Jacuzzis do not have water in them. Shower heads clogged with limescale, outdoor showers are so clogged you can't shower. Shower in bathroom impractical, everything under water when you shower. Linen burned with an iron, and you have to sleep under it. No one at reception, mission to get bags to your room. Absolutely the most horrible place we have stayed at. This is substandard for the price we paid!

Nie waarde vir geld nie.

Die verblyf self is goed maar dis nie die moeite werd as jy in ag neem wat jy betaal nie. R150 vir ontbyt is belaglik. Mens word ook vir individuele items gecharge op jou bord. Met die main alleen was die steak R130, die bietjie potato bake R50 en 'n slaai 'n verdere R50. Dan charge hulle jou R165 vir 'n bottel JC Le Roux wat R74 kos. Ek verstaan daar is markup maar meer as 100%. Ons was ook aangejaag om ons kos te eet. Loadshedding was die verskoning maar ons gesê maak als klaar dan kry ons net later, maar dit was meer oor maak klaar sodat hulle nie hoef meer te doen nie.

Not value for money.

The accommodation itself is good but not worth it if you take into account what you pay for. R150 for breakfast is insane. You are also charged for individual items on your plate. The main itself was the steak for R130, the little potato bake for R50 and the salad for R50. Then they charge you R165 for a bottle of JC Le Roux that costs R74. I understand that there is a markup but not more than 100%. We were also rushed to finish our food. Load-shedding was the excuse but we were told to finish everything and get it later but it was more about finish so that they don't have to do anything else.

Dear Ettiene,

Thank you for complimenting us on our accommodation! Our African bush chalets and stilted tents are appointed for privacy and beautifully furnished for the utmost comfort of our guests, we are glad you enjoyed the unit!

We value all our guests’ business as well as constructive and valued opinions and will endeavor to improve our delivery and/or services on all levels if founded accurately and correctly. Should any concerns be brought to our attention, we ensure that we address these matters immediately.

The cost of the sparkling wine was R165 and for that price, we deliver it to your unit wrapped in cellophane, served on ice in a silver ice bucket with champagne glasses.

Regretfully, there was Eskom load shedding on Saturday evening, however, we have a generator so it should not have affected your experience. As the owners, we were personally present during load shedding and it was a pleasure to attend to you as our guests. All guests were informed of load shedding and there was at no time any intention to hurry up guests during dinner. We apologise if you personally experienced it differently.

The Thulani team has and will always go out of our way to make all guests' stay with us, a memorable and pleasing experience with good value for money. We pride our selves on our good name and product and above all the peace and tranquility that Thulani presents.

Kind regards,
MM

Verfrissende bosveldverblyf weg van alles af.

Wonderlike ervaring. Ek wil net sê dat my verblyf by Thulani Lodge uit die boonste rakke was. Ek was aangenaam verras deur die unieke décor in my eenheid, en die uitsig vanaf my eenheid was wonderlik. Ek is baie vriendelik ontvang, my bed was groot en gemaklik (baie belangrik vir my as ek oornag êrens!) en die ete was baie goed. Ek beveel Thulani aan vir enigeen wat net wil wegkom van alles en 'n bietjie rustigheid ervaar. Die stilte en bosgeluide was ook lekker om te hoor. Sien uit om weer terug te keer.

Refreshing bush accommodation away from everything.

Wonderful experience. Top-notch accommodation at Thulani Lodge. I was pleasantly surprised by the unique decor in my unit, and the view from my unit was wonderful. Friendly reception, large, comfy bed (very important for an overnight stay!) and good meal. I recommend Thulani to anyone who just needs to get away from everything and experience some peace. The quiet and the sounds of the bush was very soothing. Looking forward to my next visit.

Ons sal nie Thulani aanbeveel nie. Ons moes vroeër vertrek, maar is nie spyt nie.

Alhoewel die plek op 'n mooi plaas geleë is en die chalets is ruim met 'n lekker gevoel rondom met bome en voëls, die landskappe is mooi en uitsig pragtig, was ons ondervinding nie aangenaam nie. Die webtuiste gee min tot geen inligting. Behalwe vir die spa is daar geen pryse op nie. Ons weet nie wat 'n ontbyt of aandete behels of wat dit kos nie. Toe ons daar arriveer en daarna vra was 'n onseker antwoord gegee. Jy kan drankies vir jouself skink maar daar's geen pryslys op nie. Elke addisionele vertrek soos o.a. snoeker kamer, leeskamer en selfs die restaurant is clutterred. Lyk asof 'n klomp meubels net orals ingedruk is, geen denke agter die interieur nie. En orals is 'n sertifikaat van 4-ster net neergesit, sommer so op die tafel. Toe ons uiteindelik aandete gaan eet, was ons heeltyd onderbreek deur die bestuurder. Sy het die kos met haar hande hanteer toe dit in 'n pakkie gepak is. Verder was die bestuurder orals en wou heeltyd geselsies maak terwyl ons net wou rus. Ons was selfs in ons chalet gepla en sy het ongenooi ingekom. Ons het nie vir enige ander aktiwiteite bespreek nie, maar was die heeltyd gevra of dit ons was wat bespreek het en dan op 'n nee antwoord is gereageer, "Oh ja, dit was die honeymoon couple". Ons was op tye aangespreek as "bokkie" en "liefie". Dit was onprofessioneel. Ons moes vroeër vertrek weens 'n noodgeval, op die stadium het die eienaar nie geweet wat die drankies kos nie, wat die aandete se pryse is en sy was selfs onseker oor die kode om by die hek uit te kom. Ons het toe uitgevind dat ons aandete 'n volle R240 per persoon was. Gelykstaande aan 'n 3-gang maaltyd by 'n redelike gesofistikeerde restaurant elders. Overall het ons gevoel ons moet probeer wegkruip om te kan ontspan. En dit was nie aangenaam nie. Dit mag wees dat die lodge voorheen 4-ster was maar ons het navorsing gedoen oor gradering en dis moeilik om te glo dat hul steeds die gradering verdien. Ons sou nie Thulani aanbeveel onder die huidige omstandighede nie.

We wouldn't recommend Thulani. We had to leave earlier, but didn't regret leaving.

Even though this place is situated on a beautiful farm and the chalets are spacious with a nice feeling created by the birds and trees, the tranquil landscapes and beautiful view, our experience wasn't pleasant. The website didn't give much info. Except for the spa no prices are indicated. We didn't know what a breakfast or dinner would cost. When we arrived and asked a unsure answer was provided. You can pour yourself a drink, but there is no price list. Every extra room like the pool room, reading room and even the restaurant is cluttered. Looks as though a lot of furniture have been crammed into a small space, no though for the decor. 4 star grading certificates are everywhere, even plopped on the table. When we finally got dinner, we were constantly interrupted by the manager. She handled the food with her hands when it was re-packed in a container. Other than that the manager was everywhere and wanted to chat with us when we were planning on resting. We were even bothered in our chalet and she came in uninvited. We didn't book any other activities, but were repeatedly asked if we had booked something and, on answering in the negative, she'd respond, "Oh yes, I'm thinking for the honeymoon couple". At times we were addressed as "bokkie" and "liefie" which is unprofessional. We had to leave earlier because of an emergency, at one stage the owner didn't know what the drinks cost, what the dinner prices are and she was even unsure about the code to get out of the gate. Then we found out that dinner is R240 per persoon. That is equivalent to a three course meal's price at any other reasonably sophisticated restaurant. Overall we felt like we had to hide to relax. And it wasn't pleasant. It way be that the lodge was a 4 star lodge once, but we did our research and found that it is hard to believe they still have this grading. We wouldn't recommend Thulani under the current circumstances.

Dit is beslis nie vier ster verblyf nie.

Etes buitensporig duur R285.00 vir chicken a la king en rys. Menu bestaan nie, offer net steak en chips of slaai R285.00. Hulle het Maandagmiddag geperform om die plek netjies en skoon te kry vir mense wat kom foto's neem het van die plek. In eenheid nie braaitang of opskepbak nie. Geen TV in kamer en in kroeg/eetplek, net een TV. Moet kyk wat ander mense kyk of DVD kyk terwyl daar rugby aan was.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Definitely not 4 star accommodation.

Meals are unnecessarily expensive R285 for a chicken a la king and rice. Menu does not exist, just offer steak and chips or salad R285. On Monday they went through a lot of trouble to get the place neat and clean for the people who came to take pictures of the place. In one of the units there were no braai tongs of serving bowl. No TV in room and in bar/restaurant only one TV. You have to watch what other people are watching or watch DVD's while there was rugby on.

Goeiedag Piet,

Ons verwelkom altyd kommentaar . Dit stel ook die huurder in 'n posisie om regstellings te doen. Chicken a la King tesame met slaai tesame met nagereg kos R 240.00. Dit was u koste. Die maal was vooraf deur die gasvrou met u bespreek. Spyskaarte is beskikbaar met die daaglikse spyskaart op 'n swart bord. Daar is een TV in die Café Sabuthi beskikbaar vir Rugby gedurende die middag waar meeste gaste insluitend uself almal na die wild rit gaan rugby kyk het. Gedurende aandete speel ons strelende musiek of DVD's vir die gaste wat hulle ook baie waardeer en geniet om 'n romantiese ervaring te hê. Vriendelike groete, MM

Ek is teleurgestel oor die diens. Vir wat daar is, kan hulle 'n baie beter "experience create" as was wat hulle tans doen. Ek was bloot aan myself oorgelaat en moes self uit vind waar alles is.

Hulle het baie om te leer oor kiëntediens, en hoe om die plek 'n beter "experiance" te maak vir nuwe besoekers. Even ek kan hulle 'n hele paar idees gee wat hulle amper niks ekstra sal kos nie, maar wat soveel waarde sal toevoeg!

I am disappointed with the service. For what there is, they can create a much better experience than what they are currently doing. I was left to my own devices and had to find out where everything was.

They have a lot to learn about customer service, and how to make the place a better "experience" for new visitors. Even I can give them quite a few ideas that will cost them almost nothing extra, but will add so much value!

Fantastiese omgewing, netjies en die personeel is flink en behulpsaam.

Van die oomblik dat jy by die hek in ry voel jy rustig, die pad na die lodge is netjies en padaanwysing is goed aangedui. Die chalets is netjies en gemaklik ingerig. Die personeel is baie behulpsaam en die perseel is ten alle tye uiters netjies. Braaiplek word skoongemaak voor jy opstaan en jy hoor nie eers as hulle dit doen nie. Ek kan die plek definitief aanbeveel vir 'n lekker ontspanne naweek.

From the moment you enter the gate the relaxation just washes over you, the road to the lodge is tidy and well indicated. The chalets are neat and comfortably appointed. The staff is very helpful and the premises is kept tidy at all times. Braai is cleaned before you get up in the morning and you don't even hear them doing it. I definitely recommend this place for a relaxing weekend.

Hi Nicola,
Thanks for the good review! You are absolutely right we only accommodate couples during the weekends as we found that they are the ones who need a break-away or a romantic weekend at Thulani Game Lodge.
Sometimes a mom requests to bring her baby along on the weekend and we make unit 8 available as we did with you.

Absolutely tranquil and relaxing. Great help from staff.

We needed a relaxing few days with little outside influence and that's just what we found. There is little to do but relax here...lovely. Tent was very comfortable, view over the plains was fabulous especially during the storm. We self catered so can't comment about food at the restaurant, but I can recommend the place. Personally I would only book the stilted tents though. They were amazing.

Groot mors van geld!

Mens word soos kinders behandel. Ons het betaal vir die laaste aand, net om weg te kom. My vrou het my verras op my verjaarsdag. Ek is spyt ons het uit Botswana na Suid-Afrika gegaan. Diens is swak. Ons was weggestuur omdat ons vroeg was. Het geen moeite gedoen om ons te akkommodeer nie. Ons moes na Thabazimbi ry vir middagete om die tyd om te kry omdat ons nie voor drieuur mag inboek nie. Kamers is warm en waaier het nie gewerk nie en geen lugversorging nie. Jy mag ook nie rondry nie. Slegs saam met gidse. Ons moes in die kamer sit en vrek in die hitte. Swembad(jie) is so vuil, dit lyk of die diere in die ding bad. Hulle wou net die restaurant en wildritte aan ons verkoop om te kyk hoeveel geld hulle nog uit mens kan maak. Baie swak en baie onprofessioneel. Ek weet nie wie was betaal vir die 4-ster-gradering nie, maar in my opinie verdien hulle nie eers 2 sterre nie. Ek sal betaal om nie te gaan nie. Baie slegte plek!

Big waste of money!

People are treated like children. We paid for the last night, just to get away. My wife surprised me on my birthday. I regret we went from Botswana to South Africa. Service is poor. We were sent away for being early. Made no effort to accommodate us. We had to drive to Thabazimbi for lunch to make up the time because we are not allowed to check in before three o'clock. Rooms are hot and fan did not work and no air conditioning. You may not drive around either. Only with guides. We had to sit in the room and die in the heat. Swimming pool(s) are so dirty, it looks like the animals are bathing in the thing. They just wanted to sell us the restaurant and game drives to see how much money they could still make from people. Very poor and very unprofessional. I don't know who was paid for the 4 star rating, but in my opinion they don't even deserve 2 stars. I will pay not to go. Very bad place!

Mnr van Tonder,

Beste Raymond
Ek is dankbaar om die geleentheid te hê om te antwoord op u verrassende skrywe! My verskoning dat u nie kon inklok teen 11 uur nie. Die Eko Landgoed het spesifieke toegangs- en beheer reëls waarvan onder andere, die toegangskode om 3 nm, vir gaste na Thulani lodge. Thulani doen wildbestuur en veiligheid tydens jagekspedisies op 'n weeksoggend is hoog op die prioriteitslys. ( vgl Sms). Dit is noodsaaklik om met Thulani te korrespondeer per sms, e- pos of die agent , indien u soveel vroeër wil inklok en die bestuur sal graag aandag daaraan skenk. Om teleurstelling te voorkom sou ons dit aanbeveel indien u S-A weer besoek. Thulani is nie by magte om die operasionele praktyk en reëls van die Eko Landgoed te verander nie. Soos geadverteer, is geallokeerde wild-voertuie vir wildbesigtiging toelaatbaar. Ons intensie is ver verwyder daarvan dat hierdie regulasies u soos 'n kind laat voel. Ons het waardeer dat Phillidae Thulani gekies het om 'n romantiese verjaarsdag vir u te beplan. Dit is n prioriteit en voorreg om 'n positiewe ervaring by ons gaste na te laat soos in u geval die vlg:
Thulani het u opgegradeer na 'n duurder eenheid met 'n groter boma, geskik vir oa, sterrekyk, laatnag gesels en self braai.
'n Heerlike yskoue bottle Cap Classique (JC le Roux) in sellofaan in 'n Groot silver bak vol ys en twee sjampanje glasies het by aankoms in u eenheid gewag.... Met 'n pragtige romantiese kaartjie! 'n Swartbord met persoonlike gelukwense. Ons het ' romantiese, mooi aandete beplan in Café Sabuthi na aanleiding van u vrou se wense. U het dit nie geneem nie. Thulani personeel is altyd bereid om 'n ekstra diens aan gaste te verskaf. Hulle het gemeld dat u nie van die baggasie diens wou gebruik maak nie en hulle deurentyd geïgnoreer het. Dit het by die diens personeel n gevoel van hulpeloosheid gelaat aangesien hulle u graag wou assisteer.
Thulani Bush spa se terapeut het op aanvraag spesiaal n dag vroeer gekom vir u spa terapie en die terugvoer was positief. Ek wil dit onomwonde stel dat ons eerste prioriteit is om ons gaste te beveilig, te laat ontspan, te respekteer en te laat goed voel in die ondervinding wat die Thulani Bosveld hier bied. Dit is teleurstellend dat u nie die ervaring kon deel nie .en ek bied n apologie aan. Dankie aan Phillipae wat Thulani uitgesonder het vir u romantiese verrassing. Thulani is n unieke ervaring en plek van vrede, rus en rustigheid vir diegene wat in so ervaring wil deel. Aktiwiteite (sien LekkeSlaap ) sluit in wildritte, stap in die Eco Landgoed , fietsry, Bird viewing, snoeker, Golf putt & chip , ontspan by die splashpool of eet en kuier by Café Sabuthi . Die Bush Spa is bekend en populêr vir massering in n bos omgewing en gaste geniet graag die sonsondergang in die Jacuzzi as deel van die Bush spa - Ons is jammer dat u nie in bogenoemde gedeel het nie . Thulani Lodge is vir jare deur die S-A graderings raad as n 4 ster Lodge gegradeer.
Seënwense.

Die ideale bestemming om rus vir die siel te kry.

Pragtige perseel en verblyfeenheid was ruim, modern en netjies skoon. Die feit dat die natuur ongerep is in en om die lodge, gee mens die ware boservaring. Ten spyte van die droogte was die wild in goed versorgde toestand wat die passie vir wild bewaring van eienaars weerspieël. Algehele diens was uitsonderlik puik van al die personeellede. Ons het dit vreeslik geniet.

Die personeel gaan uit hulle pad om jou te akkomodeer en te laat welkom voel. Daar is 'n verskeidenheid van wild en die wildritte is heerlik. Die akkommodasie is skoon, netjies en ons het alles daar gehad wat ons benodig het.

It was absolutely fantastic!

The staff go out of their way to accommodate you and make you feel welcome. There is a variety of game and the game drives are wonderful. The accommodation is clean, tidy and we had everything we needed there.

Thulani Game Lodge & Eco Estate 's response

Beste Anri, dit was 'n voorreg om sulke gawe gaste te ontmoet. Ons waardeer jul komplimente, dat julle die Bush spa besoek het en dat julle alles so geniet het. Ons sien uit dat julle in die toekoms weer sal bespreek. Bespreek gerus die STILTED TENT vir 'n panoramiese uitsig en word wakker met koorsang van 'n duisend duiwe. Dis werklik 'n belewenis. Vriendelike groete en vrede.
Thulani.

Pragtig, baie lekker en rustig maar die eenheid is nie goed toegerus nie.

Dit is ongemaklik om heeltyd te moet vra vir glase / messe / potte ens. Adverteer die eenheid met 'n mikrogolfoond maar dan is daar nie een nie. Buiten vir dit was ons op die hande gedra en die plek is ongelooflik mooi. Ek weet wit is onprakties in die bos maar wit beddegoed sal 'n groot verskil maak in die kamers.

Beautiful, very nice and peaceful but the unit is not well equipped.

It's awkward to have to ask for glasses/knives/pots etc all the time. Advertises the unit with a microwave but then there isn't one. Apart from that, we were well taken care of and the place is incredibly beautiful. I know white is impractical in the woods but white bedding will make a big difference in the rooms.

Thulani Game Lodge & Eco Estate 's response

Goeiemore Lorna-marie,
Dit was lekker om jou weer terug te verwelkom. Dankie vir die positiewe terugvoer dat julle op die hande gedra is en dat Thulani ongelooflik mooi is. Dit is fantasties!! Ons sou julle ook graag in die Spa en met wild ritte wou bederf!! Jou behoefte vir meer glase en potte is ter harte geneem en is in eenhede aangevul. Jammer oor die ongerief van die afwesigheid van die mikrogolf, wat altyd in die eenheid is! Huis-sorg afdeling kon dit darem spoedig terugbesorg. Ons sien uit om julle weer te verwelkom.
Vriendelike groete
Thulani - Martie

Goed vir die siel.

Dineo se diens was die hoogtepunt. Sy was betrokke by die meeste aspekte van ons verblyf (nie net die spa nie). Ek het 'n massering by die spa gehad en Dineo was uitstekend. Ons huisvesting was een tent en een chalet, ons kon die kombuisgerief en buite-area van 'n ander chalet gebruik tydens ons verblyf. Die kombuis en braai-area was elke dag skoongemaak. Die wildrit was 07:00 die oggend en ons was baie gelukkig met die wild wat ons gesien het. Die uitsig van die tent af was besonders - dit sal 'n hoofrede wees vir my om terug te gaan. Die tent het 'n probleem gehad met warm water in die badkamer wat nie ideaal was nie. Daar was niks potte en panne nie en ons kon beter beplan het as ons bewus was van dit voor die tyd. Aanwysings was nie baie goed nie, ons het vir 40 minute verdwaal. Afgesien van dit was dit 'n goeie rusplek.

Good for the soul.

Dineo's service was the highlight. She was involved in most aspects of our stay (not just the spa). I had a massage at the spa and Dineo was excellent. Our accommodation was one tent and one chalet, we were able to use the kitchen facilities and outdoor area of another chalet during our stay. The kitchen and braai area were cleaned every day. The game drive was at 07:00 in the morning and we were very happy with the game we saw. The view from the tent was exceptional - it will be a main reason for me to go back. The tent had a problem with hot water in the bathroom which was not ideal. There were no pots and pans and we could have planned better if we were aware of this ahead of time. Directions were not very good, we got lost for 40 minutes. Other than that it was a good resting place.

Asemrowend en awesome verby!

Vir seker die mooiste plek wat ek nog besoek het. Dis absoluut asemrowend! Die diens is puik en personeel is baie gasvry. Oulike mense! Baie privaat en was dit 'n lekker bederf gewees. Ek sal dit vir elke persoon aanbeveel en kan nie uitgepraat daaroor raak nie. Baie dankie, dit was stunning! My hart is reeds daar by julle.

Lekker gerus, weg van stad se lawaai.

Die selfsorg-eenheid bevat dalk minder as ander plekke waar ek al was. Maar as jy weet wat jy alles moet saamneem, is daar niks sleg aan die ervaring nie. Ons het dit baie geniet!

Relax, away from city noise.

The self-catering unit may contain less than other places I've been. But if you know what to take with you, there's nothing wrong with the experience. We enjoyed it very much!

Wonderlik! Beste lodge. Rustig en vriendelike eienaars.

Die kamer was asemrowend en dit was romanties. Dis 'n lekke, mooi, skoon rusplek, en baie vriendelike en hulpvaardige eienaars. Ek sal dit aanbeveel.

Very friendly service, amazingly beautiful house and views

It was an amazing stay, they stayed up late to open for us after a concert. it is very clean and a beautiful house. the only thing I would, however, change are the people in the mornings walking past the house which was a bit noisy on the gravel. But everything else was superb.
