Stunning house, beautiful views, supportive host.

It was amazing! The house has everything you need and more! The views are stunning, and we loved the safari game drive vehicle. We had a wonderful time, thank you! Lea is super helpful and supportive. Absolutely 5 star!

Bietjie instandhouding nodig.

Dit is 'n wonderlike plek in 'n wonderlike ligging. Daar is 'n paar 'solar' sekuriteit ligte. Maar daar is baie donker plekke, veral by die trappe en stap paadjies wat kan doen met beligting. Die aparte chalets se stoepe kan ook doen met 'solar' sekuriteit ligte wat aangaan outomaties wanneer dit donker word. Daar is ook 'n paar gewone gloeilampe wat vervang moet word. 'n Paar groot bome moet ook bietjie verwyder word wat die uitsig blokkeer. Maar ek sal weer daar gaan bly en sal dit ook aanbeveel.

Little maintenance needed.

This is a great place in a great location. There are some 'solar' security lights. But there are many dark places, especially near the stairs and walkways, that could do with lighting. The separate chalets' porches could also do with 'solar' security lights that turn on automatically when it gets dark. There are also some regular light bulbs that need to be replaced. A few large trees also need to be removed which block the view. But I would stay there again and would also recommend it.

Hallo Annie, baie dankie. Ek is bly julle het dit geniet. Daar is solar ligte op elke chalet se dek. Die inligting oor hoe om dit aan en af te sit of op automatie te stel is in die huis se handboek. Die handboek word aan gaste gestuur en dit word ook per boodskap aan gaste gekommunikeer. Ongelukkig kan ons nie net sommer bome afkap nie, want Warthog Lodge is in 'n natuur reservaat die MCPA (Mabalingwe Common Property Association) laat dit nie toe nie. Ek sien uit om julle weer te verwelkom.

We had a lovely stay!

We had a wonderful stay at Warthog Lodge. Lea is an incredible host - she was very kind and accommodating and took the time to brief us well on Mabalingwe's rules, things to do in the area, stuff in the house, and more. Warthog Lodge is beautiful. The house (especially the kitchen) is well equipped, which results in a very comfortable stay, the view is absolutely incredible and the boma was such a nice spot to feel immersed in nature. . We'll definitely be back!

Warthog Lodge is 'n droombestemming! Ons het elke oomblik geniet. Lea se kommunikasie is uitstekend. Sal enige tyd teruggaan.

Die uitsig, geriewe en die dekor is ongelooflik. Die kombuis is uitstekend toegerus, jy hoef niks saam te neem nie. Die braai-area (boma) is die lekkerste plek om te kuier. Een van die beste plekke waar ons al vakansie gehou het.

Rustig en netjies.

Die huis was pragtig en het absoluut alles gehad wat ons nodig het. Lea, die host, was amazing gewees en het heeltyd informasie gestuur oor die plek. Decor was stunning. As ek regtig moet nitpick dan was die enigste ding net al die kameras wat op die property buite is, so dit het half gevoel of mens nie privaat is nie. Maar overall was dit 'n great naweek weg. Perfect host, perfect house. Die mense probeer regtig om jou welkom te laat voel.

Quiet and neat.

The house was beautiful and had absolutely everything we needed. Lea, the host, was amazing and kept sending information about the place. Decor was stunning. If I really have to nitpick then the only thing was just all the cameras that are outside on the property, so it half felt like you weren't private. But overall it was a great weekend away. Perfect host, perfect house. The people really try to make you feel welcome.

Hi James, baie bly julle het dit geniet. Die kameras buite die huis is aan die sekuriteit van Mabalingwe gekonnekteer en dit is daar vir sekuriteit. Dit monitor net beweging verby die kameras en stuur alarm aan sekuritiet en hulle kom uit indien nodig.

Fantastiese plek, goeie uitleg en goed ingerig.

Perfek in baie opsigte. Die uitleg is uniek en werk baie goed. Die aparte eenhede skep goeie privaatheid. Die buitestorte is ongelooflik. Die boma-area en braaigeriewe is baie goed. Mens kan 'n ware bosveldervaring in absolute styl ervaar by hierdie plek. Die wildritte was 'n hoogtepunt elke dag en mens kan areas besigtig waar min ander mense kom. Sal enigetyd weer gaan.
