Doornkop is a beautiful and peaceful place. Unit was neat and very clean. TV did not work, but it did not bother us as there was so much to do outdoors. We will visit again.

A few things are missing.
The DStv is very sensitive, if the slightest wind blows it loses signal. The TV itself takes about 30 minutes to warm up before turning on. It broke before we left and we notified the owner but it was not repaired. We then went home only a day earlier. It would also have been nice to know that Vodacom has no reception there.

Hi daar, ek is bly julle het dit geniet.
Ons kan ongelukkig niks doen oor Vodacom sein of DStv sein nie. Die TV was getoets en het gewerk. Meeste van ons gaste vra dat die DStv af is sodat hulle kinders buite gaan vir die visvang, wild ritte, swem en stap.
Jammer dat julle vroeg gery het, want die TV wou nie aankom nie.

Quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of the city!
We were at 29 Doornkop for a week with my parents and my two primary school children. It was delicious. We never ran out of hot water, we slept great and enjoyed walking, horse riding, wildlife viewing and swimming. This unit is close to the dams and also close to two of the three shorter hiking trails which made it very convenient for us. The animals are certainly not tame, but have at times walked very close to the units. The workers are all very friendly and helpful.

Very nice area. Nice quiet. Lots of wildlife, ponds and river.
Short renovation to building and bedroom furniture. Outer set falls apart. The rest was ok. A bit expensive for what one expects from the ad. Staff friendly.

Beste Tinus,
Ek is bly julle het dit geniet.
Ek sal met die skoonmaakdame praat oor die "cleanliness" wat nie reg was nie. Ek is ook jammer dat die meubels nie na jou smaak was nie.
Groete,
Angus

Hi there,
Glad you had a good stay. We have a full laundry service at your disposal that will wash and iron anything you need at a minimal fee. You can just give it to the cleaning lady next time. Hope to see you soon again.

It was relaxing with a nice view of ponds and mountain.
Thanks for a good time at 29 Doornkop Fish and Wildlife Angus. Just had to drive up and down a bit for key, but the place and atmosphere and sitting out quickly made up for it. I would go back to rest there anytime. Maybe the time just longer to take up more of the place. Had a really relaxing time. Maybe just plan with the cement bags and window frame on the lower porch. Didn't really mind, mostly hung out upstairs, but would love to open the curtains in the morning to take in the scenery and not cement bags. Will definitely be back for a visit or two. Thanks again Angus for sharing the place with us.

The place needs a lot of attention. Broken sofas, broken bedding, dirty curtains. The resort itself is a fantastic place! Will go there again but only in a different unit.

This property requires renovation and is definitely not up to the general standard of the other properties of Doornkop Fish and Wildlife Resort.

Hi Jonathan
We are busy expanding the lapa and the top and bottom patio.

Not suitable for families with small children or babies.
The accommodation is neat and comfortable. The stairs make it not suitable for small children and the fact that there is no immediate access to other rooms also makes it a risk for families where small children have to sleep far away from parents. The gas grill is in a very bad condition and we were therefore unable to grill as desired. It certainly put a damper on the weekend. I am not convinced that Doornkop's fishing permits which are only valid for 1 week are according to law. They do fall under Mpumalanga Park Council's jurisdiction, but there it is required that a guest must buy a new permit each time. I would recommend that permits be valid for 1 year.

Hi Maggie,
Sorry that you did not like the layout of the house. Having the patio and a gas braai on the upstairs patio is to take advantage of the view. The downstairs lapa allows one to be closer to nature. We will investigate the damp, it should not be wet especially when it is cleaned twice a day.
