Very peaceful and nice.
If you're looking for a place where your kids can play and run around without cars constantly rushing up and down, this is the perfect place. We had a great time. The children had fun swimming and swinging. The campsite with the lapa is very cute and not so cluttered. You have your own space and the ablution blocks were pretty clean. There is even a cute lapa block with hot water where you can wash your dishes. The animals that walk freely up and down are a highlight for the children. I've read people complain about the dirt road, but that's just the way it is! The whole world cannot be tarred. If you want to camp, you must camp! It really was the full outdoors, wild, away from your phone experience. The people are helpful and friendly. We will definitely visit again.

We suggested that they put lights on the barbecues at the chalets. Everything was clean when we arrived at the chalet. The hot pool's pipe unfortunately packed up while we were there. I hope it will be ok when we visit again. We had a toilet that leaked down the pipe and reported it. When we walked into our chalet, Lucas was there with his spanner to repair it. The lady at the office mentioned that there is no WiFi up to the chalets, but we had frequent receptions. We would definitely recommend Abba Game Lodge.

The rain we can't do anything about.
We did not receive anything from you and the landline is not WhatsApp-friendly and email. We did not get an SMS also, we did not get and we did try our best to make a plan so that people can cross the bridge that washed away. I am really sorry you feel that way but we did try our best to help.

This is not a family resort at all. We read on reviews that the hot water pool does not work and we contacted them to find out if it would work for when we go and it was confirmed that it does. The photos and reality do not match at all. Toilet paper is not put out for guests. The grass is long and the jungle gym is rusted and there is virtually nothing left to paint on. It is so small that one child can go on it at a time. The putt putt courses lack work and the holes are covered with dirty water. The grass at the campsites is so long and the bathrooms and toilets could really do with a decent cleaning. The fact that you pay so much per stand and get so little out of it is amazing. The hot water pool is shelling out and not on at all even though it wasn't loadshedding. The outdoor pool's fountain is cracked and peeling and the color of the water is not right at all. The store inside does not even have the necessary things, such as water. We stayed one night and drove the next day.

Quiet, good break from city noise.
The lodge needs TLC, there is also a misunderstanding regarding the camping area with its own ablution, according to the advertisement there is a lapa, this is not the case. We moved to an area with lapa and shared ablution as it was very hot. The other problem was that Abba was not aware that the entire bill had already been paid, according to them the agency had not communicated with them.

We did not promise any backup generator as we are a total of the grid and the room was been cleaned before the guest came. We are a 3-star, not a 5-star lodge, what you get is what you get and we did help as much as we can to make all happy.

Friendly and professional service, everything was intact and well taken care of, ablution clean with hot water at any time of the day or night. Plenty to keep everyone busy - hot and cold pools, walking trail, bike paths, large goat population, extra large pitches, firewood available at no extra cost. Grounds and roads very well maintained and some of the cheapest rates we have ever experienced! Will definitely go back to this picture perfect campsite!

The hot pool must be switched on a day earlier. The putt-putt course needs some maintenance. Diet before you go camping, the private ablution block is very small. The bar opens when you ask and is very polite inside. The restaurant was not open during our stay, but looks quite acceptable. Would I go again? Yes, but it will also be the last time if everything is still the same.

Unfortunately we didn't like the place.
The animals in the game lodge affected the whole atmosphere, the hot water pool was very dirty and although we were the only campers, a private function's karaoke music kept us awake until the morning hours. There are an awful lot of thorns and we had to buy shoes for the children in a hurry just to be able to walk around a bit. Although they were scraping the dirt road (just up to the dam) the road was very bad and I would not recommend it for anyone with a small vehicle. We checked in a day later than booked due to work, but we also packed up a day earlier due to the disappointments. It is really very peaceful there and definitely for the person who wants to sit and do nothing all day.

Ablution facilities were not clean at all. Had a foul smell. Insects everywhere in ablutions. No toilet paper. Washing areas no hot water. If you haven't taken everything, you can just leave, because the store doesn't have much and the town is far away on a dirt road. Roads were washed away and were not fixed either.

Abba does not have a no noise policy and management helps the guy who pays the most.
This was our second time at Abba this weekend. We decided to camp in a tent this time. It was just me, my husband and our little boy. We choose Abba precisely because the animals walk around you freely and it's quiet. The guests who were there with us the first time were from mixed groups but were respectful and calm, like us. We live in the city and are used to noise. So we were willing to pay to leave the city's sounds behind just for one weekend. We didn't even play our own music or take tablets and laptops with us. On Saturday there were two parties at the lodge from early on. One by the pool (the only area with swimming facilities and where my boy would like to fish) and one in the chalets, below the resort. Both groups dominated the resort and we could not use the facilities, fish or relax at all. At three o'clock in the afternoon, my husband went to the office and asked if they could ask the other guests to be quieter. There is no reason for us to listen to their music 100 meters away. Their music was of such a nature that we had to raise our voices to talk to each other and there was nowhere on the resort where we did not experience the same volume. This is not an exaggeration: We were literally about 100 meters from the chalets, and had to talk to each other as loudly as we would in a club in the city. The office just told us they are sure they will be quieter by 9 o'clock in the evening. Well, long story short: At two o'clock the next morning, there is silence. Of course, the party continued the next morning at 7 o'clock. There was also never any security or patrolling in sight throughout the evening and with management just packing up and going home, knowing there are problems with drunken guests, I would also disagree that Abba is as safe as I thought. All resorts we've been to have a no noise and no trouble policy, except Abba. It shouldn't have even been necessary for us to complain, they should have gone and talked to the guests themselves or applied rules in advance, but they didn't and it didn't sound to me like they ever would. What makes me even more angry is that the day before we were to go, I specifically asked if the functions would cause a noise, because then I want to move the dates. I have been promised high and low, this will not be the case. Well, we hope these once off parties were worth it, because we are not going back to Abba and are going to advise others not to go either. It's a pity. That place has so much potential and was nice for families to rest.

Had a great time, but resort needs a bit of renovation and maybe more staff so that shop can be open. Lots of potential but could be better managed. Can accommodate customers more. No cell phone reception either. Hot pool terribly dirty, freezing cold and with a horrible smell. Toilet paper can be provided in ablution facilities. Locks at bathrooms not working. Terrible noise and loud music until late at night which can be disturbing for some campers.

Beautiful nature, peaceful, chalet nice. Staff disabled.
We chose this place so we could do things together as a family and to get away from the city and technology. The aim was to go on a 'nature hike', to be able to play 'pool' and 'darts'. At no point were we told that there were hunters and that we would not be able to go on the hiking trail or a 'game drive'. Because of lack of staff we could not play pool or darts on Friday. There were also power outages on Friday and Saturday. Water was not pumped Friday night, so there was no water until 08:30 Saturday morning. Hot water for shower only 10:30. To the restaurant. Some of the staff were not very friendly, sometimes sarcastic and gave the impression that it was a lot of effort to go out of their way to provide customer service. We were told, "There must be something wrong with you people," when the staff seemed to be calling us for some reason and went to ask if they were looking for us. Although the camping facilities looked very nice, and the place is beautiful, the attitude of the staff completely put us off.

Not much to do. Units have a roofed porch so you can sit outside during the day if you want.
We like to sit outside but there is no veranda with a roof, so you have to sit inside the unit if the sun is very hot. There is no TV in units, so if the weather is bad, you can't do much because it's 11km dirt road, you can't just drive on the bad side. No signal at units which pretty much cuts you off from the outside world. Shop you can't really classify as a shop. Just some soda, wood and ice.

Own ablution block was dirty on arrival. Very small space in toilet/shower area, can barely move. Staff very unfriendly. Hot pool dirty. According to Abba Game Lodge, their pool was painted in early December - where did the green algae come from? Use plenty of chlorine in the hot pool and it burns your skin and eyes. Shop does not not much to buy. It almost feels as if they were not prepared for the holiday season because everything was not up to standard.

We always relax wonderfully at Abba. This was our fourth visit to Abba.
Abba's tranquility is soul food for a restless spirit. The small game around the caravan site remains a highlight. Abba's only drawback is the dirt road to it, it quickly steps on corrugated iron and is not comfortable. The road is scraped, but the corrugated iron is troublesome. But Abba will see us, despite the road, a fifth time too. I will always recommend Abba with their caravan pitches.

Seeing as this was our second camp Abba Game Lodge, it was again very nice. Very nice place to visit although the dirt road will always be a challenge for any vehicle, as well as for those towing caravans, we just took it slow. Although the camping area with its own ablution is a plus point, we prefer the camping area with the lapa. It can get quite hot. Then I have to mention. The pond is full. What a beautiful sight to see, but for fishing lovers, make sure it's safe first, because with the torrential rain that fell in that area, a crocodile (still quite a small one) made its way to Abba Game Lodge then found. They were looking for the owner last time and hopefully they found the owner. N.B Abba Game Lodge does not keep crocodiles. The only negative was that a group of young people became quite exuberant, especially with their language. The resort manager kept them under his thumb. But otherwise we really enjoyed our weekend.

We really enjoyed the tranquility. The facilities are adequate. There are few trees to muffle the noise of other campers, but there is not supposed to be noise. Booking page is a bit misleading, you get either a lapa, or your own ablution, where the booking page makes it appear that you are booking both.

I like the place, although no entertainment for teenagers. No lights at braai (big problem) at caravan lapa pitches, braai with a flash. Outside lights at ablution or washing places outside are not switched on in the evening and must go there with a flash. I think someone is just not doing his or her job when it comes to this. The store has almost nothing. Instead, have to go to town to get necessary stuff, so make sure you have enough supplies, otherwise you'll go to town again.

The rules are not applied. Loud music and noise should be quiet by 22:00 and that is not the case, and management does not do anything about it. We did not sleep for 3 nights in a row due to people on the campsite who have no respect for others. Hard music, screaming and swearing and that after we complained to management after the first night. Management was warning them and that was that. The second evening. the same thing happened and management wasn't even there to silence them. It was very unpleasant and we are going to contact Abba Lodge to claim 3 nights of money back. There was also a very bad smell of clogged drains coming from the bathroom. The bathrooms are not very clean either. A very bad experience for us that was supposed to be a quiet weekend.

Silence and atmosphere.
It was our first visit to Abba Game Lodge and we were very pleasantly surprised by the location of the place. The dirt road was a bit of a shake, but that's instantly forgotten when your tent is up, everything is in place and the fire is burning and you relax. The fact that each campsite has its own lapa is a great idea and I like the braai which is low enough to sit around the fire after you've grilled or made pot. Although the common ablution block needs renovation in my opinion, it is very neat and clean. We were also pleasantly surprised with the newly renovated showers, bathrooms, toilets and dish washing area on the outside of the communal ablution facilities. There are plenty of activities to keep the splashers busy and to cool off there is a hot and a cold pool. There is also an 8 km walking route to get you set for the day. The restaurant is beautifully laid out and leads out to the lapa where you can relax with a view of the dam. There are also rowing boats to relax a bit on the pond. I would really recommend Abba Game Lodge to those who want a peaceful stay away from the hustle and bustle. For the social media lovers, there is WiFi available at the restaurant. We would also greatly appreciate it if you put Doornpoort as the turn off to Abba Game Lodge on your road signs. It just makes it much more convenient.

More effort could be made to make more play space for kids, maybe a sand pit or something like that. The store could be better stocked..not even ? ice cream not. And better tick control.

Parking with lapa a bonus, but no management of noise late at night.
Pitches and ablution are very neat. Lapa is a bonus, especially in the heat and when it rains. Children enjoy seeing the animals that roam the lodge. Nice hiking trail. The only, big negative is that noise is not managed after a certain time in the evening. We stayed three nights. First night bunch of drunk teenagers fighting and swearing until what time. My husband went to silence them. Second night group of people who started at 11 o'clock with loud music, shouted until 2:20 next morning. Contact no. From manager on website is apparently wrong and I couldn't get hold of anyone to come and shut the people up. I went to complain both times. Third night was better, but you could still hear the background that they had almost stayed up all night. We were four families with children, and everyone had a weekend of bad sleep. So much for getting away from the city and its noise. The lodge offers so much, but if such behavior is not managed, it will keep people away. Penalties must be imposed.

As a regular RCI resorts visitor, one cannot compare, not at all modern, but as said, it's clean and despite the stove and e.g. bottle opener/steak knives not there, we had a nice stay.

The pond and the hot pool are empty. The dogs are washed in the pool while our kids swim, there were no game drives available, you can't go on a game drive with your own vehicle, the staff's friends had their own party and took over the whole pool area. In addition, the unit is terribly small and not fun with two children when it's raining and you don't feel welcome at all in the reception area where the dog is sleeping on the couch. Furthermore, the staff was not exactly friendly. I think they should reconsider whether they want to keep it a lodge or whether they want to use it as a private residence instead.

Top notch customer service!
We were incredibly impressed with Abba Game Lodge's customer service, from arrival to departure, nothing was ever too much trouble!

Dit was baie rustig en stil. Die chalet was netjies. Die meubels kan beter rangskik word om spasie beter te benut. Hoofvertrek het spieël teen muur nodig.

It was very peaceful and quiet. The chalet was neat. The furniture can be better arranged to make better use of space. Master bedroom needs mirror on wall.
The staff at reception were very friendly. The guests just need to be informed about how the restaurant arrangements work. I wanted to eat breakfast but none of the ladies asked if they could help me when I sat down at the table. One of the other guests helped me out and told me to order at reception if I wanted to eat something. Reception should inform guests of this arrangement upon arrival.

Lovely place, bathrooms okay, it's just the noise that was a problem.
We were very grateful that they could accommodate us on such short notice. The place is beautiful, caravan sites very nice and very big. Bathrooms are okay, not great. It's only a pity that they weren't strict enough with the noisy guests.

Nice resort but accommodation is very basic and needs maintenance.
We stayed in one of the A frame places. It wasn't very clean and the unit's furniture, appliances and especially the worn-out beds need a lot of attention. The resort did go out of their way for the children and they loved driving on the trekker, playing putt-putt and taking part in the activities the resort arranged especially for them. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Very nice stay, but one of the staff members was very inappropriate with us.
Accommodation was nice, customer service - "not all" - was very poor. The lapa was not cleaned and we felt we were redundant. The children enjoyed it immensely. There really is a lot for them to do.

The accommodation was as desired - except there is nothing to do in the evening - no sock, no TVs in rooms, no music in lapa.
Place very deeply located, dirt road not as desired.

Poor service at gate guard when leaving early in the morning he was very unfriendly and not even greeted. Gate guard was also not dressed in a shirt, only pants.

The place itself and reception are friendly, acceptable but their cleanliness and beauty of the unit itself was unacceptable.
I can only mention that the units are nice and spacious and suitable for the purpose for which they are there. What was not acceptable is that the place was not cleaned beforehand and was therefore dusty and dirty. There was e.g. dust and dead flies on the beds and furniture and the dining table had cobwebs visible at the bottom and the bath was dirty and full of dust and dead insects and the wall tiles were not washed clean either and old soap marks are visible on the tiles and shower glass. After enquiry, the management informed us that they do not place soaps and towels in the residential units due to previous cases of theft, but that they are available on request if needed. Personally, I think it is inappropriate to want to accommodate new guests such as potential criminals. The lodge must be willing to take the risk and therefore have their insurance in place for it. The porch was also full of bird chatter. We did bring bg to the management's attention and they indicated that they would deal with the cleaner in question.

Disappointing.
The occasion was my mother's 80th birthday in Nylstroom. We were just basically looking for a place to sleep for the weekend and so were just in and out every time. On arrival (between 13:00 and 14:00 Friday afternoon) the room was still unserviced - beds not made etc. No apology or explanation. I just dropped off luggage and went out again. On return in the evening there was not a single towel in the unit where 8 people have to sleep. At reception the next morning - no apology - but towels in the afternoon. The shower is so small. that a great man can get into it with difficulty and for sure cannot turn around. Photos create a much more homely atmosphere.

We would recommend Abba Game Lodge. The chalet (A-frame) was neat and extremely clean. Good facilities ─ the heated pool was especially nice. The dirt road was in good condition and signs indicating the location made the lodge easy to find.

We were worried about what we would get for the price we paid. After a bit of a drive on a gravel road we found a beautiful lodge with everything one could need whilst on holiday. Enough to do, a bar where you can drink something cold and a neat chalet with lots of space. The buck walking around freely was a bonus. The service was great - very friendly and helpful people!

Not happy.
Reception one cannot even greet properly at the reception. If you ask where the house is, the reception tells you just drive. What type of answer is this? It is not even explained to you where everything is on the farm, no we had to figure everything out ourselves. The place was so dirty the fridge was full of dust on top. the curtains were dirty. The bathroom light didn't even work. There was only 1 power point and you had to plug everything into the kitchen so you had to move the microwave and the kettle all the time to be able to use it.
