Dit was awesome en die moeite werd. Ons gaan beslis terug vir 'n paar dae.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Die plek was presies soos op die fotos, skoon en netjies. Almal was vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons het 'n piekniek geboek en was impressed met die moeite van die opstel sowel as die kwaliteit van die kos wat ons bestel het. Ek wens net die piekniek-venue was 'n bietjie meer privaat. Miskien kan hulle ontbyt-opsies begin oorweeg. Die hot tub by Thunzi Bush Lodge & Country Lodge was baie nice, ons het lekker ontspan. Die plek is baie rustig en vredevol, perfek vir 'n wegbreek van die besige lewe. Die personeel en die werkers was baie behulpsaam gewees, hulle het 'n ekstra myl geloop vir ons.

It was awesome and worth it. We are definitely going back for a few days.

We had a very nice stay. The place was exactly as in the photos, clean and tidy. Everyone was friendly and helpful. We booked a picnic and were impressed with the effort put into the set up as well as the quality of the food we ordered. I just wish the picnic venue was a little more private. Maybe they could start considering breakfast options. The hot tub at Thunzi Bush Lodge & Country Lodge was very nice, we had a great time relaxing. The place is very calm and peaceful, perfect for a break from the busy life. The staff and the workers were very helpful, they went the extra mile for us.

My husband and I went there for a couple of days for our mini-moon and it was wonderful. It's such a beautiful and peaceful place, perfect to relax and unwind. The individual chalets are perfectly setup for privacy. So much to see and do there. The staff tends to every detail and they are so very friendly and helpful. Definitely going back again.

Wonderful stay at Thunzi.

Lovely place tucked away in a secluded valley a few minutes from the beach. Pretty dams on the property and a lovely hike through the forest. Very peaceful and safe. We stayed in Nguni Chalet which was superbly kitted out with a wonderful view. Very relaxing and a definite recommendation.

'n Stukkie hemel op aarde!

Dit was die wonderlikste uitspan ooit! In die bos, twee km van die see, ses km van die restaurante, lekkerste swembad om in af te koel! Die kamers is 5 ster ingerig! Die beddens en beddegoed hemels! Badkamers om van te droom en volledige ingerigte kombuis. Maar die beste was die stilte, die voëlsang en net om te rus. Hemels.

It was the most amazing team ever! In the forest, two km from the sea, six km from the restaurants, nicest pool to cool off in! The rooms are furnished 5 star! The beds and bedding heavenly! Bathrooms to dream of and fully equipped kitchen. But the best was the silence, the birdsong and just resting. Heavenly.

Baie netjies, goed geleë en veilig.

Thunzi is so naby aan die rumoerigheid van die stad, maar tog ook so ver. Die ligging is perfek met uitsonderlike natuurskoon. Dit is baie rustig, die eenhede is goed toegerus, en netjies en die diens is goed. Die braaigeriewe kort wel bietjie aandag.

Thunzi Bush Lodge het 'n rustige atmosfeer, perfek vir 'n vinnige wegbreek van vandag se besige lewe. Die privaatheid wat elke huise het is baie oulik, voel of jy in jou eie "bubble" kuier. Hulle het goeie diens, 'n mooi uitsig en netjiese blyplek. Sal beslis weer teruggaan.

As jy hou van die natuur en voëllewe kan jy nie beter doen as Thunzi nie - fantastiese geriewe en omgewing.

Die akkommodasie was gerieflik en goed toegerus. Die diens was baie vriendelik. Maar die beste bate was net die omgewing - mens is privaat, tussen die bome en daar is lekker staproetes en volop voëllewe. Hoogs aan te beveel.

A beautiful restful place to be in nature near Port Elizabeth.

We enjoyed being in the Thunzi Bush Lodge. The treehouse was comfortable being a little small with all te furniture. Not all the fittings were in order. We reported it to management but tey did not seem to be very interested. All in all we had a lovely stay, with a nice braai, lovely view and facilities to swim en walk.

Peaceful getaway!

Thunzi was an ideal break from the city to celebrate our wedding anniversary in peace and quiet, without having to travel far out of PE. Our picnic supper was delicious and memorable. The view from our balcony over the wetlands was beautiful. The chalet had all we needed and was clean and comfortable. We did not make use of the boma, but over a longer stay we definitely will. Maitlands Beach, a short drive from Thunzi, is a favourite spot of ours as well. I would recommend Thunzi to anyone wanted some peace and quiet, and a refreshing rest.

What a lovely relaxing place

The cottage that we stayed in was absolutely immaculate. The staff were friendly at all times, and last but not least the view was fantastic with a wide variety of bird life! We also ran into some small wildlife who were between the cottages. I would suggest this place to anyone at any time. We are definitely going back.
