Fantastiese plek! Sal dit beslis aanbeveel en definitief weer daar gaan bly.

Die huis is uitstekend ingerig met meer as wat nodig is. Geen negatiewe punte om te lig nie. Die gasheer is altyd vriendelik en het uit sy pad gegaan vir ons om die naweek onvergeetlik te maak. Die brande was verskriklik en ons dink aan julle in ons gebede.

Fantastic place! Would definitely recommend and definitely stay there again.

The house is excellently furnished with more than what is needed. No negative points to raise. The host is always friendly and went out of his way for us to make the weekend unforgettable. The fires were terrible and we are thinking of you in our prayers.

90 jarige verjaarsdag met familie.

Die ligging en fasiliteite is perfek vir 'n groot familie/groep en het alles wat nodig is. Dit is vêr genoeg van ander huise wat dit heerlik stil en rustig gemaak het, net soos ons dit verkies. Ek sal aanbeveel dat beter aanwysings na die huis op die webtuiste geplaas word of om dit duidelik te stel dat aanwysings van die eienaar verkry moet word.

90 year old birthday with family.

The location and facilities are perfect for a large family/group and have everything needed. It's far enough away from other houses that it's wonderfully quiet and peaceful, just the way we prefer it. I would recommend putting better directions to the house on the website or making it clear that directions must be obtained from the owner.

The house was nice and clean, had everything a self-catering accommodation would have.

Everything was okay, we enjoyed our stay until we were accused of damaging the car by elephants before an investigation was done. It was later discovered that it was not us; however, it rained so heavily. It would have been nice if they had conducted the investigation before accusing us of not reporting an accident.

Beautiful weekend away!

We spent a weekend at Bush House, with friends and my 2 teenagers. We had an incredible time and loved the animals at the small waterhole in front of the house. The house had everything we needed, it was clean and had great views. Would definitely recommend hiring the game vehicle too. Special break, just what we all needed! No complaints about anything!

Heerlik, was my dogter se 21ste en die klomp het hul gate uit geniet en baie lekker uitgerus.

Ons het die eenheid gehuur vir my dogter as 'n 21ste geskenk. Sy en haar klomp studente vriende het dit verskriklik baie geniet. Die plek is baie goed ingerig vir 'n groep mense, daar is alles wat jy nodig het. Hulle het dit verskriklik geniet op die houtdek en swembad. Die wildrit was die toppunt en die kos by die restaurant heerlik. Die eienaar was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam met al die reëlings. Die klomp studente sê dit was die lekkerste idee ooit. Wat 'n heerlike wegbreek. Ons sal enige tyd weer gaan.

Lovely, was my daughter's 21st and the bunch enjoyed their holes and had a great rest.

We rented the unit for my daughter as a 21st present. She and her bunch of student friends really enjoyed it. The place is very well set up for a group of people, there is everything you need. They had a blast on the wooden deck and pool. The game drive was the highlight and the food at the restaurant was delicious. The owner was very friendly and helpful with all the arrangements. The bunch of students say it was the best idea ever. What a lovely getaway. We would go again anytime.

'n Pragtig boshuis, baie privaat in 'n rustige omgewing.

Ons het heerlik gebly. Die huis se dekor is stylvol met alles wat jy moontlik kan nodig kry. Die buitekant het 'n stoep, aparte braaiplek en 'n dek met 'n klein swembad. 'n Groot bonus is die huis se eie watergat waar verskillende diere kom water drink het. Ons sal die plek definitief aanbeveel.

A beautiful forest house, very private in a peaceful setting.

We had a wonderful stay. The house's decor is stylish with everything you could possibly need. The exterior has a porch, separate braai area and a deck with a small pool. A big bonus is the house's own watering hole where different animals come to drink water. We would definitely recommend the place.

Ons het baie lekker gekuier in die bos en het die mooiste wild gesien by die huis se watergat. Kinders het dit baie geniet. Die huis is vreeslik mooi en alles wat mens nodig het is daar. Ons sal definitief weer kom kuier.

'n Heerlike wegbreek in die bos!

Ons het 'n heerlike naweek gehad by 24 Bush House! Die huis is uitstekend toegerus sodat jy met al die gemak van die huis vakansie kan hou. Die kamers is smaakvol gemeubileer en daar is genoeg plek dat niemand in mekaar se pad is nie. Ons het baie lekker gerus en die kinders was nooit verveeld nie.

We had a lovely weekend at 24 Bush House! The house is excellently equipped so that you can holiday with all the comforts of home. The rooms are tastefully furnished and there is enough space that no one is in each other's way. We rested very well and the children were never bored.

Dit was baie lekker gewees.

Sal die plek vir enige een aanbeveel as hulle rus en vrede wil hê met diere om jou. Plek baie netjies en skoon en baie goed toegerus. Genoeg slaapplek en gemaklik. Ons was 12 mense en sal enige tyd weer teruggaan vir nog 'n besoek. Lekker diere gekyk by die watergat.

Beslis nie 4 ster-gradering standaard nie.

Met aankoms by hoofhek was daar baie onduidelikheid van waar 24 Bush House is. Eintlik geleë te Elandsrand Plot 24. Padaanwysings is baie swak, het baie gesukkel om plek te kry. Moes eienaar 'n paar maal skakel en roeteborde uiters onduidellik in die donker. Beddens was nie opgemaak gewees nie en geen toiletpapier. Handdoeke was ook soek. Huis versorger het wel verantwoordelikheid hiervoor geneem en die volgende oggend die saak mooi kom regstel. Warm water in net in 1 van 3 badkamers vir warmbadgeriewe beskikbaar. Swak inligting vir besigtiging van wild in die nag by watergat by die huis. Die lig by die gat kon ons nie aansit moes eers meer as 1 uur wag vir eienaar met instruksie hoe die lig aangeskakel word. Toe was die wild reeds weg. DStv het nie gewerk nie. Huis was wel goed toegerus met die nodige toebehore in die kombuis en warm komberse op die beddens.

Definitely not 4 star rating standard.

On arrival at the main gate there was a lot of confusion as to where 24 Bush House was. Actually located at Elandsrand Plot 24. Road directions are very poor, had a lot of trouble finding a place. Had to call owner several times and route signs extremely unclear in the dark. Beds had not been made and no toilet paper. Towels were also wanted. House caretaker did take responsibility for this and came to rectify the matter the next morning. Hot water only available in 1 of 3 bathrooms for hot tub facilities. Poor information for viewing wildlife at night at water hole at home. We could not turn on the light at the hole, first had to wait more than 1 hour for the owner with instructions on how to turn on the light. Then the game was already gone. DStv did not work. House was well equipped with the necessary accessories in the kitchen and warm blankets on the beds.

Goeie more Marlene,

Jammer dat ek nou eers antwoord. Ek moet erken dat die aanwysings nie duidelik was nie en vra om verskoning daarvoor! Ons het dit reg gemaak vir toekomstige gaste sowel as om 'n WhatsApp pin te stuur. Ons skoonmaakdiens het ongelukkig nie die beddends op gemaak nie, maar hulle hul fout kom reg maak en 'n gratis skoon maak vir jul gedoen.

Groete,

Beautiful bush break away.

We had a beautiful and relaxing weekend away, we were 2 families with young children. The only thing I can really point out is to put up better signage on how to get to the house, number 24 isn't really visible as we had to follow the number 28 board to get to number 24. Also perhaps an instruction card on how the geyser showers work. The house was very clean and well equipped with everything you need. I will recommend 24 Bush House Mabalingwe to anyone looking for an amazing bush break away. We will definitely be back and perhaps stay an extra 1 or 2 days longer.

Dear Aldyn,

Thank you so much! More than welcome :) We have noted the suggestions and will ensure to follow up.
Thanks for staying with us. All the very best for 2018.
