Overall an enjoyable stay.

Our breakfast experience was slow and lacked service, but the manager on duty did then rectify the situation, and we were able to leave content with the service. Overall, the staff are friendly, and the game ranger was amazing. The lodge doesn't cater much for kids, except for the pool. Would suggest this gets looked into, especially when the website states families are welcome. The garden and common areas are very well kept, and the rooms are great.

Onaangenaam!

Harde musiek gespeel gedurende 2 van die 3 die nagte tot so laat as 06:00 in die oggend. Is belaglik en die lodge het niks gedoen om dit te bestuur nie/te stop nie. As jy soek na 'n stil en rustige naweekwegbreek is Tshikwalo nie die plek nie. Restaurant se kos nie op standaard nie en is nie waarvoor jy betaal nie. Braaigeriewe by ons kamer/op die stoep is ook nie elke dag skoongemaak nie.

Unpleasant!

Loud music played during 2 of the 3 nights until as late as 06:00 in the morning. Is ridiculous and the lodge has done nothing to manage/stop it. If you are looking for a quiet and peaceful weekend getaway Tshikwalo is not the place. Restaurant's food is not up to standard and is not what you pay for. Braai facilities at our room/on the stoep were also not cleaned every day.

Baie dankie Gideon vir jul terugvoer. Die musiek het gekom van een van die naburige lodges en dis deur klomp lodges aangemeld by Dinokeng bestuur asook Metro Polisie. Ek sal met jou persoonlik kontak oor die restaurant om te hoor wat die probleem daar was.

Bietjie teleurgesteld met die kwaliteit en algehele ervaring.

Die borde was gechip, wat volgens ons nie op standaard is vir 'n 4ster lodge nie en die restaurant was ook glad nie op 4ster standaard nie. Helfte van die bestandele op die ontbyt spyskaart was nie beskikbaar en 'n substandaard maal is voorgedien sonder enige verduideliking. Die wynglase was ook nie 4ster nie en die kelners was redelik onkundig oor die spyskaart.

A little disappointed with the quality and overall experience.

The plates were chipped, which in our opinion is not up to standard for a 4 star lodge and the restaurant was also not up to 4 star standard at all. Half of the ingredients on the breakfast menu were not available and a substandard meal was served without any explanation. The wine glasses were also not 4 star and the waiters were quite ignorant of the menu.

Ontvangs was baie vriendelik en ons het gou tuis gevoel.

Chalet was skoon en netjies en personeellid het gevra of alles in orde is en of ons nog iets nodig het. Ontvangs by die restourant was net so vriendelik en ons kelner behulpsaam, vriendelik en het goed met ons gekommunikeer. Selfs 'n grappie waardeer. Kos was uit die boonste rakke en baie smaaklik en aantreklik voorgesit.

Food was top notch and very tasty and attractively presented.

Wonderlike wegbreekvakansie daar in die bosveld beleef.

So bly ons het van die wildritte gebruik gemaak. Oggend- en middagritte. Baie wild gesien. Enigste van die groot vyf wat ons nie gesien het nie was die luiperd.

Heerlike wegbreek-aandjie.

Ons het ons vinnige wegbreek en terselfdertyd my verjaarsdag by Tshikwalo Lodge kom vier! Chalet is pragtig skoon en luuks met wit percale katoenlakens, die restaurantpersoneel is uiters beleefd en hulpvaardig. Ek voel vir 'n 4-ster-lodge kan daar so bietjie meer afronding met hul kos aanbieding wees.

Lovely getaway evening.

We had our quick getaway and came to celebrate my birthday at Tshikwalo Lodge at the same time! Chalet is beautifully clean and luxurious with white percale cotton sheets, the restaurant staff are extremely polite and helpful. I feel for a 4-star lodge there could be a little more finishing with their food presentation.

Our stay was nice. The chalet we stayed in was nicely laid out and everything needed was provided

Although it was a self catering unit we did request to make use of the restaurant. We ended up spending over R 2000 plus on restaurant food and drinks for two people and we didn't take much. We did mention to them that it was our 27th wedding anniversary so we hoped for a bit of extra spoiling but unfortunately it was not noted and our stay was treated as business as usual. Nevertheless, it was still worth it and I will go back for a second time.

Dit was 'n baie aangename ervaring binne die lodge.

Tshikwalo is 'n ideale bestemming en die personeel wat daar werk is baie oulik en behulpsaam. Die diens by die restaurant is wel bietjie stadig, maar die kos was goed. 'n Bad of elektriese geiser in die chalets sal vir seker waarde toevoeg - die storte se koppe moet op spesifieke hellings gedraai word om effektief warm water te laat uitkom. Dis nogal 'n groot gesukkel, veral met kinders. Die algehele ervaring by Tshikwalo was egter baie goed.

It was a very pleasant experience inside the lodge.

Tshikwalo is an ideal destination and the staff who work there are very nice and helpful. The service at the restaurant is a bit slow, but the food was good. A bath or electric geyser in the chalets will certainly add value - the shower heads must be turned at specific angles to effectively release hot water. It's quite a struggle, especially with children. However, the overall experience at Tshikwalo was very good.

Wonderlike paar dae.

Ons het ons tydjie so geniet ons wou twee aande ekstra bespreek. Die chalet kamers is mooi en gerieflik en prakties ingerig met 'n lekker vuurmaakplek en stoepie. Die diens was uitstekend en die restaurant op die perseel het 'n baie mooi uitsig op 'n dammetjie met kameelperde, bokkies en vlakvarke wat daar kom water drink het. Die kos was ook verskriklik lekker. Die lodge is naby geleë aan die hoofingang asook die Safari Mall. Die game drive en piekniek was heerlik en ek sal dit sterk aanbeveel. Ons kan nie wag om gou weer terug te gaan nie! Baie mooi tuine wat goed versorg is.

Wonderful few days.

We enjoyed our time so much we wanted to book two extra nights. The chalet rooms are beautiful and comfortable and practically furnished with a nice fireplace and porch. The service was excellent and the on-site restaurant has a very nice view of a small pond with giraffes, goats and warthogs that came to drink water there. The food was also very tasty. The lodge is located close to the main entrance as well as the Safari Mall. The game drive and picnic were delicious and I would highly recommend them. We can't wait to go back again soon! Very nice gardens that are well maintained.

Uitstekende wegbreek binne Gauteng.

Fasiliteite is uitstekend, netjies en skoon met alles wat jy kan nodig hê. Die kinders het die boonste slaapkamer geniet, die reling is hoog genoeg dat daar nie sommer iets kan fout gaan nie. Enigste ding is om by die boonste slaapkamer uit te kom moet jy na die trappe buite gaan. Die trappe is wel onderdak en die deur kan sluit vir die kamer bo - is net 'n bietjie koud in die winter. Die braaigeriewe is ook uitstekend, onderdakbraai, losstaande braai en die boma met die nodige om jou vleis daar ook gaar te maak.

Excellent getaway within Gauteng.

Facilities are excellent, neat and clean with everything you could need. The children enjoyed the upstairs bedroom, the railing is high enough that nothing can go wrong. Only thing is to get to the upstairs bedroom you have to go to the stairs outside. The stairs are covered though and the door can lock to the room upstairs - is just a bit cold in the winter. The braai facilities are also excellent, covered braai, detached braai and the boma with the necessary to cook your meat there as well.

Baie vriendelike personeel.

Dink nie dis waarde vir geld nie. Ongelooflik duur vir wat jy kry. Het tuisgegaan in die standaard chalet. Mens verwag ten minste dat daar koffie en tee beskikbaar sal wees. Het ook nie genoeg eetgerei gehad nie (net een vurk). Personeel was ongelooflik vriendelik en professioneel.

Don't think it's value for money. Incredibly expensive for what you get. Stayed in the standard chalet. One expects at least that there will be coffee and tea available. Also didn't have enough cutlery (only one fork). Staff were incredibly friendly and professional.

Pragtige plek, heerlik gekuier. Skoon en netjies.

Ons het egter geen warm water gehad die hele naweek nie. Hulle het ons Saterdagoggend gevra of dit warm is en verstellings gemaak, maar ongelukkig het dit nie 'n verskil gemaak nie, die water was steeds koud en dit op een van die koudste naweke.

Rustige, netjiese verblyf.

Goeie waarde vir geld, die diens is uitstekend en personeel baie behulpsaam en vriendelik. Chalets is goed toegerus. Die opwasbak is regtig net te klein en mens stamp gou die breekware stukkend, baie onprakties. Chalets is skoon en word elke dag gediens. Die restaurant en dek is heerlik om op te sit en te ontspan. Heerlik by Tshikwalo Lodge en beveel hulle sterk aan.

Good value for money, the service is excellent and staff very helpful and friendly. Chalets are well equipped. The sink is really just too small and you quickly smash the crockery, very impractical.

Baie lekker wegbreek in die natuur. Geniet al die diere en voëls.

Het baie lekker gebly. Het die wildritte geniet, alhoewel dit ’n bietjie duur is as gesin van 4 (4x300) dit meemaak. Alles het gewerk. Dink egter die kampterrein moet verder weg van chalets geskuif word. Toegang na chalets is deur die kampeer area. Kinders speel en ry fiets in die pad. Die chalets kon ook verder uit mekaar geplaas gewees het. (Iets vir die toekoms).

Very nice break in nature. Enjoy all the animals and birds.

Had a great stay. Enjoyed the game drives, although it is a bit expensive if family of 4 (4x300). Everything worked. However, think the campsite should be moved further away from chalets. Access to chalets is through the camping area. Children play and ride bikes in the road. The chalets could also have been placed further apart. (Something for the future).

Baie beïndruk deur die vriendelikheid en hulpvaardigheid van die werknemers by Tshikwalo. Die chalet was baie skoon en elke dag gediens. Die standaard-chalet beskik oor alles wat nodig is, enigste negatief is die klein yskas in die kombuis.

Baie goed geleë met pragtige karavaankampplek en goeie restuarant.

Die bestuur van die plek moet baie opgeskerp word: Hekkode word nie met aankoms gegee nie. Een van die mans se ablusie het nie warm water gehad nie en daar was geen kennisgewing om alternatief aan te dui nie. Die ontvangsdame was werklik ongeskik. Die ander was weer 100%. Die wildrit kon nie geskied nie omdat altwee hulle voertuie buitewerking was.

Very well located with a beautiful caravan site and good restaurant.

The management of the place needs to be tightened up a lot: Gate code is not given on arrival. One of the men's ablutions did not have hot water and there was no notice to indicate an alternative. The receptionist was truly inept. The other was again 100%. The wild ride could not take place because both their vehicles were out of order.

Baie dankie vir jul terugvoer na die naweek.
Die hekkode word nie gegee nie agv sekurteitsredes. Ons selfoon nommer is deurentyd op die hek en kan ten enige tyd geskakel word om die hek oop te maak.
Ons het bewus geraak van die warm water probleem toe dit gerapporteer is deur ons gaste en dit is dieselfde oggend reeds herstel.
Albei ons voertuie was ongeluukig daardie naweek buite werking maar ons het vir verskeie gaste by naburige lodges wildsritte bespreek.

Dit is jammer dat julle geen groot 5 gesien het nie. Ons sien nogal baie gereeld op ons wildsritte interessante wild en groot 5 wat ons ook gereeld op ons sosiale media platforms wys. Ongelukkig hang dit baie af hoe die diere in die park beweeg en as dit jou gelukkige dag is sien mens wonderlike wild. Hoop julle kan weer kom en dat julle 'n beter wildbesigtigingsrit naweek kan ondervind.

Very nice place to stay for a quick break away.

Some appliances and cutlery just needs to be updated/replaced and it gets hot in the 2 rooms with no air conditioning so a door stop for the sliding doors or windows would be nice just to get a breeze through the rooms. Bathrooms are beautiful and the beds are very comfortable. Nice large modern fridge.

Thank you for your review and recommendations Sunette. I became aware of the problem with the inventory after your stay. It has been rectified now.
Air conditioning in the other 2 rooms is planned for later this year.

Big house with good features, but it has little privacy and no hot water.

We stayed in the 10 bed house as we were having a family reunion. The house is well equipped, but unfortunately the gas water heating does not work and everyone had cold showers during the weekend. The house is not well located, being in the middle of a lot of activity and roads it has no privacy and is not really "in the bush". The fourth bedroom in the attic has 4 beds, but the stairs are really for kids (definitely not for older people) and a safety risk from how steep they are and with loose steps.

Delicious.

Reception called us when the elephants were at the camp. Would appreciate if cleaners locked the door of chalet after cleaning. Was in the forest all day and in the evening came back to chalet which is open every day. Although we brought this to reception's attention, they still didn't lock the door. Fortunately, nothing got lost. They didn't sweep the floors either and there wasn't a broom so we could do it ourselves.

Verblyf is baie netjies en skoon, maar die stort is 'n groot probleem.

Die stort het geen stortdeur of gordyn nie en die tipe stortkop veroorsaak dat die hele badkamervloer nat is na 'n stort. Die warmwater-stelsel is 'n gasverwarmer en die stort het 'n mengkraan ("mixer"). Die twee werk nie saam nie en dit is onmoontlik om die mengkraan te stel sodat jy konstante temperatuur water in die stort kry. Dit is of te warm of te koud en die temperatuur wissel aanhoudend wat dit onmoontlik maak on die stort te geniet.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Accommodation is very neat and clean, but the shower is a big problem.

The shower has no shower door or curtain and the type of shower head causes the entire bathroom floor to be wet after a shower. The hot water system is a gas heater and the shower has a mixer. The two do not work together and it is impossible to set the mixer so that you get constant temperature water in the shower. It is either too hot or too cold and the temperature changes continuously which makes it impossible to enjoy the shower.

Baie aangenaam en rustig. Diens is baie goed en die omgewing is baie mooi.

Dit was aangenaam in die chalet. Al die geriewe is daar en die diens is goed. Dis lekker om so in die reservaat te bly en die wild en veld geluide in die aand te hoor. Ons het nie leeus en olifante gesien nie, maar baie bokke, zebras en swart wilde beeste, ook volstruise. Dit was 'n rustige paar dae.

Baie lekker gebly, amper gevoel ek is in die Kruger Nasionale Park.

Ons was lekker aangenaam verras met Tshikwalo Lodge. Mooi skoon, stil en aangename verblyf gehad. Lekker gunstige tariewe vir senior burgers en kan met graagte die plek aanbeveel. Restaurant puik diens en lekker uitkykplek waar olifante kom water drink. Ablusies en wooneenhede baie mooi skoon en word daagliks gediens. Gaan kuier gerus. Enigste voorstel is om lugversorgers in die wooneenhehe te installeer. Kan nogals warm word in die kamers, maar dakie tog vir die waaiers wat wel 'n verligting gebring het.

Had a great stay, almost felt like I was in the Kruger National Park.

We were pleasantly surprised with Tshikwalo Lodge. Had a nice clean, quiet and pleasant stay. Nice favorable rates for senior citizens and can happily recommend the place. Restaurant great service and nice lookout where elephants come to drink water. Ablutions and residential units very clean and serviced daily. Feel free to visit. Only suggestion is to install air conditioners in the apartment. Can get quite hot in the rooms, but thank you for the fans which did bring some relief.

In future have more entertainment for children, add more pools and slides. The game drive should be included in the total amount. I like the cleanliness and friendly staff.

Absoluut uitstekend-sal weer Tshikwalo besoek.

Derde keer wat ons Dinokeng besoek en elke keer by Tshikwalo gaan eet. Kos uitstekend en bekostigbaar. Eienaar, bestuurder en personeel baie behulpsaam en vriendelik. Baie diere gesien. Verblyf goed ingerig en skoon. 'n Binnegordyn by die skuifdeur sal egter gepas wees vir meer privaatheid. Persoonlik dink ek dat die "selfdrive"-permit ingesluit moet wees by jou verblyf.

Absolutely excellent-will visit Tshikwalo again.

Third time we visit Dinokeng and eat at Tshikwalo every time. Food excellent and affordable. Owner, manager and staff very helpful and friendly. Saw many animals. Accommodation well furnished and clean. However, an interior curtain at the sliding door would be appropriate for more privacy. Personally, I think that the "self drive" permit should be included in your stay.

Rustig

Ons was opsoek na 'n paar dae se wegbreek en het besluit op Tshikwalo lodge. Omdat ons in die week daar was, was dit ekstra rustig. Almal, selfs die mense wat in die tuine werk, was vreeslik vriendelik gewees. Ons huisie was lekker snoesig gewees en baie slim uitgelê. Op die stoep sit en kyk na die kameelperde wat verby loop en luister na die voëls wat sing, waarvoor meer kan 'n mens vra. Ek sal Tshikwalo lodge enige tyd aanbeveel en beplan al klaar wanneer ons weer kan gaan.

Relaxing

We were looking for a few days' getaway and booked Tshikwalo Lodge. We were there during the week so it was really quiet. Everyone, even the people who worked in the garden were very friendly. The little house was cosy and cleverly appointed. Was wonderful to sit on the patio and watch the giraffes and to listen to the bird song, what more do you want. I'd recommend Tshikwalo Lodge anytime and am already planning my next visit.

Lekker rustige en netjies plek om te ontspan.

Die huisie vir twee mense is oulik ingerig. Ons het heerlik op ons stoepie gesit en net die bos ingestaar. Ons het net die restaurant pryse as hoog ervaar vir die waarde wat jy kry.

We found a scorpion in the toilet which almost bit my wife, we had to book-out immediately as my wife was terrified.

When we called management to witness what we found in the toilet, we were told to go sit in the bar whilst they fumigate the room. We had to leave a night earlier than we anticipated due to the above. The owner by the name Lucia refused to reimburse for the night that we never used their facility even though it was not our intention to leave a night before. By the way, when we went out, all openings were locked. This means that the chalet was dirty as we couldn't justify where the scorpions came from.

Tshikwalo Lodge 's response

Dear Clement,

Thank you for choosing our lodge for your weekend break away. I was sorry to hear that you left on Saturday evening because of the scorpion you found in your shower. You also asked for your money back for that evening.

We are a lodge in a big 5 game reserve with lots of game and wild animals. We take every precaution possible to try and keep our chalets free of insects like fumigating every few weeks. You would have noticed that we placed a bottle of Doom as well as a spray mechanism also with Doom to try and keep all insects out of the chalets.

With all the rain we had lately small insects do tend to try and find safety in the chalets. I was sorry to hear that you wanted to leave and not stay for another night. I feel you cannot held me responsible for an incident like that. The manager was there immediately and removed the scorpion from your chalet and checked for other insects. I hope you will understand.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Regards
Lucia

Die kamers is pragtig, skoon en goed toegerus met als wat jy nodig het met die beste kwaliteit goed. Dis heerlik rustig en baie skoon. Die personeel is vriendelik en behulpsaam en het 'n aangename ontvangs gehad. Is opgewonde oor die nuwe "lapa" wat hulle besig is om te bou en sal definitief weer kom kuier.

Wegbreek van rus.

Tshikwalo Lodge is 'n klein terrein binne 'n pragtige reservaat. Ons was vir 'n wegbreeknaweek in Augustus daar. Die rustigheid en natuurskoon het ons ingesluk en dit was moeilik om daarna weer terug te gaan huis toe. Die huisie waarin ons gebly het is eenvoudig en pragtig ─ die wit dekens en koninggrootte-bed iets om van te droom. Ons het laatmiddag op 'n wildrit gegaan en het sebras, blouwildebeeste, kameelperde, blesbokke en koedoes gesien. Ons was kort op die hakke van 'n trop olifante, maar kon hul ongelukkig nie opspoor nie. Ek sal Tshikwalo Lodge aanbeveel en definitief terug gaan.

Peaceful getaway.

Tshikwalo Lodge is a small area within a stunning reserve. We checked-in for a getaway weekend in August. We were consumed by beautiful nature and it was very difficult to leave. The little house is basic and beautiful - stunning white linen and king-sized bed. We did a late afternoon game drive and saw zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, blesbuck, and kudu. We were ons the heels of a herd of elephants, but we coulnd't find them. I recommend Tshikwalo Lodge and wil surely return.
