Baie rustig en lekker.

As jy 'n plek soek waar jou kinders lekker kan speel en rondloop sonder dat karre konstant op en af jaag, is dit die perfekte plek. Ons het baie lekker gekuier. Die kinders het lekker geswem en geswing. Die kampplek met die lapa is baie oulik en is nie so opmekaar nie. Jy het jou eie spasie en die ablusieblokke was mooi skoon. Daar is selfs 'n oulike lapa-blok met warm water waar jy jou skottelgoed kan gaan was. Die diere wat vrylik op en af loop, is 'n hoogtepunt vir die kinders. Ek het gelees mense kla oor die grondpad, maar dis nou maar hoe dit is! Die hele wereld kan nie geteer wees nie. As jy wil kampeer, moet jy kampeer! Dit was regtig die volle buite, wild, weg van jou selfoon af ervaring. Die mense is behulpsaam en vriendelik. Ons sal beslis weer gaan kuier.

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.

Dis 'n heerlike rustige omgewing en almal wat daar werk behandel jou met respek.

Ons het voorgestel dat hulle ligte by die braaiers by die chalets op sit. Alles was mooi skoon toe ons by die chalet aankom. Die warm swembad se pyp het ongelukkig opgepak terwyl ons daar was. Ek hoop dit sal reg wees wanneer ons weer gaan kuier. Ons het 'n toilet gehad wat onder by die pyp gelek het en dit gerapporteer. Toe ons by ons chalet instap toe is Lucas daar met sy spanner om dit te herstel. Die dame by die kantoor het genoem dat daar nie WiFi tot by die chalets is nie, maar ons is gereeld opvangs gehad. Ons sal Abba Game Lodge verseker aanbeveel.

It's a wonderfully peaceful environment and everyone who works there treats you with respect.

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.

Worst experience I’ve ever had!

Firstly there’s no maintenance done, our unit wasn’t able to lock, no airconditioning, Wi-Fi is not working, no signal. Restaurant is out of service as well as the bar. Only limited stuff available. 3 years ago because of no rain the dam dried out so unfortunately only small fish is available. Water plants everywhere and the jetties are broken, jittery and very unsafe. The lady working there tried her best to do whatever she can to assist, just unfortunate that this place with so much potential is being managed like this. Definitely not worth your money.

We enjoyed the bush.

We went out to buy groceries, it rained and the bridge to the lodge was flooded, we went looking for an alternative road and we then got stuck in the mud. We informed the lodge, they were not prepared to assist me and my children. We were in the wilderness from 16:00 until 19:00, when eventually a couple who stays in the area found us on their way home and they waited with us while they were calling around for assistance. The lodge had said there's nothing that they can do for us. The lodge should improve ways of being reachable by WhatsApp and actually respond. I sent them sms, WhatsApp and email to inform them that we were stuck and needed their help, they never bothered to respond or even acknowledge us.

Abba Game Lodge And Camping Site 's response

Good day,
Hope you are well.
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.

Geen waarde vir geld.

Dit is glad nie 'n gesinsoord nie. Ons het op resensies gelees die warm water swembad werk nie en ons het hulle gekontak om uit te vind of dit sal werk vir as ons gaan en dit was bevestig dat dit wel werk. Die foto's en die werklikheid stem glad nie ooreen nie. Daar word nie toiletpapier uitgesit vir gaste nie. Die gras is lank en die jungle gym is geroes en daar is so te sê niks verf meer op nie. Dit is so klein dat een kind per slag daarop kan gaan. Die puttputt-bane kort werk en die gaatjies is toe met vuil water. Die gras by die kampplekke is so lank en die badkamers en toilette kon wragtig doen met 'n ordentlike skoonmaak. Die feit dat jy so baie per staanplek betaal en so bitter min uitkry is verstommend. Die warm water swembad is besig om af te dop en glad nie aan nie al was dit nie loadshedding nie. Die buite-swembad se fontein is gekraak en dop af en die water se kleur is glad nie reg nie. Die winkel binne het nie eens die nodige goed, soos water nie. Ons het een aand gebly en die volgende dag gery.

No value for money.

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.

Rustig, goeie wegbreek van die stads geraas.

Die lodge benodig TLC, daar is ook 'n misverstand tov die kamparea met eie ablusie, volgens die advertensie is daar 'n lapa, dit is nie die geval nie. Ons het geskuif na 'n area met lapa en gedeelde ablusie aangesien dit baie warm was. Die ander probleem was dat Abba nie bewus was dat die hele rekening reeds betaal was nie, volgens hulle het die agentskap nie met hulle gekommunikeer nie.

Translate to English.

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.

The place has no backup generator has they promised it has. The rooms are not 100% clean.

The lady in charge tried to assist, but too much. I sensed a I-do-not-care spirit in her. The place can be so much better, only if the lawn and the rooms were clean. Maybe putting a ceiling on the room will do better as most people do not do well with thatched roofing.

Abba Game Lodge And Camping Site 's response

Good day,
I hope you are well and thank you for the review.
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.
I am sorry you feel like that.
Kind regards,

Heerlike, rustige bosveld-atmosfeer.

Ek en my man het heerlik gekamp. Die lapas as regtig ’n lafenis vir ons wat met ’n tent gaan kamo het. Dit was so lekker om die wildsbokke in die kamp te sien. Dit is ook ’n paradys vir voëlkykers. Baie netjiese plek en goeie kliëntediens. Ons sal beslis weer by Abba Game Lodge gaan kuier.

Wil jy kamp? Beste waarde vir geld!

Vriendelike en professionele diens, alles was heel en mooi versorg, abblusie skoon met warm water enige tyd van dag of nag. Genoeg om almal mee besig te hou - warm en koue swembaddens, staproete, fietsrypaadjies, groot bokbevolking, ekstra groot staanplekke, fynhout vir vuur beskikbaar teen geen ekstra koste nie. Terrein en paaie baie goed onderhou en van die goedkoopste tariewe wat ons al ooit ondervind het! Sal definitief weer teruggaan na hierdie prentjiemooi kampplek toe!

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!

Ons was by die staanplekke met privaat geriewe - dit is baie klein maar voldoende. Daar was groot groepe in die huise naby ons, wat harde musiek gespeel het tot 3 uur die oggend. Dit was bietjie steurend. Het die wild baie geniet.

Heel goed

Die warm swembad moet ’n dag vroeër aangeskakel word. Die putt-putt baan kort bietjie onderhoud. Dieët voor jy gaan kamp, die privaat ablusieblok is baie klein. Die kroeg maak oop wanneer jy vra en is heel skaflik binne. Die restaurant was nie oop met ons verblyf nie, maar lyk heel aanvaarbaar. Sal ek weer gaan? Ja, maar dit sal ook die laaste keer wees indien alles nog dieselfde is.

Very good

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.

Good rest.

We enjoyed our stay, it was relaxing. The greatest frustration was that you only get supplied with 2 rolls of 1 ply toilet paper on arrival as there is nothing supplied in the bathrooms. We eventually resorted to walking around with loo paper in our pockets otherwise you always have to walk back to camp before heading back to the ablutions to do your thing. The directions provided were terrible and the lack of reception does not help things. The route from Modimolle is easier to follow than the one that allows you to cut out Modimolle. The customer service is not the friendliest and unprofessional. Besides this our stay was good.

Ons het ongelukkig nie van die plek gehou nie.

Die beeste in die game lodge het die hele atmosfeer beïnvloed, die warmwaterswembad was baie vuil en alhoewel ons die enigste kampeerders was het 'n privaat funksie se karaokemusiek ons tot in die oggendure uit die slaap gehou. Daar is vreeslik baie dorings en moes ons inderhaas vir die kinders gaan skoene koop net om bietjie te kan rond loop. Alhoewel hulle besig was om die grondpad te skraap (net tot by die dam) was die pad baie sleg en sal ek dit nie vir enige iemand met 'n klein voertuig aanbeveel nie. Ons het as gevolg van werk 'n dag later ingeboek as bespreek, maar ons het ook 'n dag vroeër opgepak a.g.v die teleurstellings. Dit is werklik baie rustig daar en beslis vir die persoon wat heeldag wil sit en niks doen nie.

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.

Kamp.

Ablusiegeriewe was glad nie skoon nie. Het stank reuk gehad. Insekte oral in ablusies. Geen toiletpapier nie. Opwasareas geen warm water nie. As jy nie alles gevat het nie kan jy maar los, want winkel het nie veel nie en dorp ver op grondpad. Paaie was verspoel en was ook nie reggemaak nie.

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 het nie no noise policy nie en management help die ou wat meeste betaal.

Dit was ons tweede keer by Abba hierdie naweek. Ons het besluit om die keer in 'n tent te gaan kamp. Dit was slegs ek, my man en ons seuntjie. Ons kies juis Abba want die diere loop vrylik by jou rond en dis stil. Die gaste wat saam ons die eerste keer daar was, was van gemengde groepe maar was respekvol en rustig, soos ons. Ons woon in die stad en is gewoond aan geraas. Ons was dus bereid om te betaal om die stad se geluide net vir een naweek agter te laat. Ons het nie eens ons eie musiek gespeel of tablets en laptops saamgeneem nie. Saterdag was daar van vroeg twee partytjies by die lodge. Een by die swembad (die enigste area met swemgeriewe en waar my seuntjie sou wou visvang) en een in die chalets, onder die oord. Albei groepe het die oord oorheers en ons kon nie van die geriewe gebruik maak, visvang of enigsins ontspan nie. Teen drie uur die middag het my man kantoor toe gegaan en gevra of hul die ander gaste kan vra om stiller te wees. Daar is mos nie rede dat ons hul musiek ver oor 'n 100 meter moet luister nie. Hul musiek was van so aard dat ons ons stemme moes verhef om te gesels met mekaar en daar was nêrens op die oord waar ons nie dieselfde volume beleef het nie. Dit is nie oordrewe nie: Ons was letterlik oor 'n 100 meter van die chalets af, en moes so hard met mekaar praat soos ons sou in 'n klub in die stad. Die kantoor het net vir ons vertel hul is seker hul sal stiller wees teen 9uur die aand. Wel, lang storie kort: Teen twee uur die volgende oggend, is daar eers stilte. Die partytjie het natuurlik die volgende oggend om 7 uur voort geduur. Daar was ook nooit enige sekuriteit of patrolering in sig deur die aand nie en met bestuur wat net oppak en huis toe gaan , wetende daar is probleme met dronk gaste, sal ek ook nie saamstem dat Abba so veilig is as wat ek gedink het nie. Alle oorde waar ons al was, het 'n no noise en no trouble policy, behalwe Abba. Dit moes nie eens nodig gewees het vir ons om te kla nie, hul moes self met die gaste gaan praat het of vooraf reels toegepas het, maar hul het nie en dit het ook nie vir my geklink of hul ooit sou nie. Wat my nog meer kwaad maak is dat ek die dag voor ons sou gaan, juis gevra het of die funksies 'n geraas gaan veroorsaak, want dan wil ek die datums skuif. Daar is vir my hoog en laag belowe, dit sal nie die geval wees nie. Wel, ons hoop hierdie once off partytjies was die moeitewerd, want ons gaan nie terug Abba toe nie en gaan ook ander aanraai om nie te gaan nie. Dis jammer. Daai plek het soveel potensiaal en was lekker vir gesinne om te gaan rus.

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.

Baie duur vir wat ons aangebied is.

Kamer was vuil. Beddegoed was nie vars gewas nie. Glad nie ingerig vir loadshedding nie. Swembadarea nie gereed om gaste te ontvang nie. Die gevoel gekry dat die plek eintlik toe is. Grondpad is baie sleg. En daar is geen selfoonopvangs nie. Was nie 'n slegte naweek nie. Net baie duur vir wat op die einde beskikbaar was om te doen.

Kan verbeter.

Lekker gekuier, maar oord kort 'n bietjie opknapping en dalk meer personeel dat winkel oop kan wees. Baie potensiaal, maar kan beter bestuur word. Kan kliënte meer tegemoetkom. Ook geen selfoonopvangs. Warm swembad vreeslik vuil, yskoud en met 'n aaklige reuk. Toiletpapier kan gerus in ablusiefasiliteite aangebring word. Slotte by badkamers nie werkend nie. Vreeslike geraas en harde musiek tot laatnag wat vir party kampers steurend kan wees.

Can improve.

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.

Mooi natuur, rustig, chalet lekker. Staf ongeskik.

Ons het hierdie plek gekies sodat ons as gesin saam dinge kon doen en om weg te kom van die stad en tegnologie. Die doel was om op 'n 'nature hike' te gaan, te kon 'pool' en 'darts' speel. Daar was op geen stadium vir ons gesê dat daar jagters was en dat ons nie op die staproete of 'n 'game drive' sou kon gaan nie. A.g.v. staftekorte kon ons nie pool of darts speel Vrydag nie. Daar was ook kragonderbrekings Vrydag en Saterdag. Water was nie gepomp Vrydagaand nie, dus was daar geen water gewees tot 08:30 Saterdagoggend nie. Warm water vir stort eers 10:30. Restaurant toe. Van die staf was nie baie vriendelik nie, soms sarkasties en het die idee gegee dat dit baie moeite is om uit hul pad te gaan om kliëntediens te gee. Daar is vir ons gesê: "There must be something wrong with you people," toe dit lyk of die staf ons roep om een of ander rede en ons gaan hoor het of hul ons soek. Alhoewel die kampeerfasiliteite baie lekker gelyk het, en die plek mooi is, het die staf se houding ons heeltemal afgesit.

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.

I enjoyed the stay.

The stay was nice even though we were only there for 1 night. I would say they must improve on breakfast and give 2 slices of bread instead of 1, since there’s loadshedding. They must at least keep the generator running for that hour or two hours for the sake of their guests. Because at night it went off for an hour or two and it was so dark some people were scared in the middle of the night or during the day. The electricity went off and we could not charge our phone during breakfast.

Nie veel om te doen nie. Eenhede kort stoep met dak sodat jy in dag buite kan sit as jy wil.

Ons hou van buite sit maar daar is geen stoep met dak nie, so jy moet maar binne eenheid sit as son baie warm is. Daar is geen TV in eenhede nie, so as weer sleg is, kan jy nie veel doen nie omdat dit 11km grondpad is kan jy nie net sommer ry nie pad maar aan die slegte kant. Geen sein by eenhede nie wat jou nogal afsny van buite wêreld. Winkel kan jy nie regtig klassifiseer as winkel nie. Net bietjie koeldrank, hout en ys.

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.

Was 'n teleurstelling. Foto's wat op Facebook was, was misleidend.

Eie ablusieblok was vuil met aankoms. Baie klein spasie in toilet-/stortarea, kan skaars beweeg. Personeel baie onvriendelik. Warm swembad vuil. Volgens Abba Game Lodge het hul swembad uitgeverf begin Desember - waar kom die groen alge aan die kant vandaan? Gebruik baie chloor in die warm swembad en dit brand jou vel en oë. Winkel nie veel om te koop. Dit voel amper of hul nie voorbereid was op die vakansieseisoen omdat alles nie op standaard was nie.

Was a disappointment. Photos on Facebook were misleading.

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.

Ons ontspan altyd heerlik by Abba. Dit was ons vierde besoek aan Abba.

Abba se rustigheid is sielskos vir 'n onrustige gees. Die kleinwild rondom die woonwa staanplek bly 'n hoogtepunt. Abba se enigste nadeel is die grondpad daarheen, dit trap vinnig sinkplaat en is nie gemaklik nie. Die pad word wel geskraap, maar die sinkplaat is lastig. Maar Abba sal ons, ten spyte van die pad, 'n vyfde keer ook sien. Ek sal Abba met hulle woonwa-staanplekke altyd aanbeveel.

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.

Rustigheid en atmosfeer.

Siende dat dit ons tweede kamp Abba Game Lodge was, was dit weereens baie lekker. Baie lekker plek om te kuier alhoewel die grondpad altyd 'n uitdaging sal bly vir enige voertuig, asook vir die wat karavane sleep, ons het dit maar stadig gevat. Alhoewel die kampeerarea met eie ablusie 'n plus punt is, verkies ons maar die kampeerarea met die lapa. Dit kan nogal baie warm word. Dan moet ek noem. Die dam is vol. Wat 'n pragtige uitsig om dit te kon sien, maar vir visvangliefhebbers, maak maar eers seker of dit veilig is, want met die stortreën wat in daardie area geval het het 'n krokodil (nog 'n redelike kleintjie) sy pad na Abba Game Lodge toe gevind. Hulle het nog laas die eienaar gesoek en hopelik het hulle al die eienaar gekry. N.B Abba Game Lodge hou nie krokodille aan nie. Die enigste negatiwiteit was dat 'n groepie jongmense redelik uitbundig geraak het veral met hul taalgebruik. Die oord bestuurder het hulle onder sy duim gehou. Maar andersins het ons ons naweek baie geniet.

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.

Kragproppe was af, en geen water. Game drive was 'n mountain drive.

Die verblyf was aangenaam, maar die kragproppe was af en die game drive was ontstellend. Geen wild en jy moes net vashou anders val jy af, so vol rotse was die mountain drive, nie game drive nie.

Baie aangenaam, eie lapa 'n wenner.

Ons het die rustigheid baie geniet. Die fasiliteite is voldoende. Bome is bietjie min om ander kampeerders se geraas te demp, maar daar is nie veronderstel om lawaai te wees nie. Besprekingsblad is bietjie misleidend, jy kry of 'n lapa, of 'n eie ablusie, waar die besprekingsblad dit laat voorkom of jy albei bespreek.

Very pleasant, own lapa a winner.

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.

Mooi groot kampeerterrein, netjiese ablusie. Pad is 'n gemors, die hele 11 km!

Ek like die plek, alhoewel geen vermaak vir tieners. Geen ligte by braaiers (groot probleem) by karavaan-lapastaanplekke, braai met 'n flits. Buiteligte by ablusie of opwas plekke buitekant word nie aangeskakel in aand en moet met flits soontoe loop. Ek dink iemand doen net nie sy of haar werk wat dit betref nie. Die winkel het amper niks. Moet eerder dorp toe om nodige goed te kry, so maak seker jy het genoeg voorraad, anders gaan jy weer dorp toe.

Nice big campsite, neat ablutions. Road is a mess, the whole 11 km!

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.

Slegte ervaring.

Die reëls word nie toegepas nie. Harde musiek en geraas moet 10 uur stil wees en dit is nie die geval nie, en bestuur doen ook niks daaraan nie. Ons het 3 nagte in 'n ry net mooi niks geslaap nie a.g.v. mense op die kampterrein wat geen respek vir ander het nie. Harde musiek, 'n geskreeu en vloekery en dit nadat ons by bestuur gaan kla het na die eerste aand. Bestuur het hulle gaan waarsku en dit was dit. Aand 2 was dieselfde ding en bestuur was nie eers daar om hulle stil te maak nie. Dit was baie onaangenaam en ons gaan Abba lodge kontak om 3 nagte se geld terug te eis. Daar was ook 'n baie slegte reuk van verstopte dreine wat vanaf die badkamer gekom het. Die badkamers is ook nie baie skoon nie. 'n Baie slegte ervaring vir ons wat eintlik 'n rustige naweek moes wees.

Bad experience.

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.

Die naweek was rustig en stil en mens kon net agteroor sit by die kampvuur en die natuur geniet. Ongelukkig is daar soms ander mense wat nie die natuur, rustigheid of reëls van die Oord respekteer nie, en vreeslik lawaai (harde musiek, ens). Behalwe vir die versteurings wat ons verblyf heerlik!

The 11 km gravel road to get there is really not suitable for normal road caravans. Maybe a good idea to warn people about this. Our lapa was very dirty and not cleaned in a while. Bathrooms were not kept clean at regular intervals either. To top things off, our neighbours were playing loud music non stop and no one from management bothered to do anything.

Stilte en atmosfeer.

Dit was ons eerste besoek aan Abba Game Lodge en ons was heel aangenaam verras deur die ligging van die plek. Die grondpad was 'n bietjie van 'n geskud, maar dis onmiddellik vergete wanneer jou tent staan, alles op hul plek en die vuur brand en jy ontspan. Die feit dat elke kampeerplek sy eie lapa het is 'n uitstekende idee en ek hou van die braai wat laag genoeg is om rondom die vuur te sit na jy gebraai of pot gemaak het. Alhoewel die gemeenskaplike ablusieblok opknapping kort na my mening, is dit baie netjies en skoon. Ons was ook aangenaam verras met die nuut opgeknapte storte, badkamers, toilette en skottelgoedopwasplek aan die buitekant van die gemeenskaplike ablusiegeriewe. Daar is genoeg aktiwiteite om die woelwaters mee besig te hou en om af te koel is daar 'n warm en 'n koue swembad. Daar is ook 'n 8 km staproete om jou gestel reg te kry vir dag. Die restaurant is pragtag uitgelê en loop uit na die lapa waar jy rustig kan kuier met 'n uitsig oor die dam. Daar is ook roeibootjies om so 'n bietjie op die dam te ontspan. Ek sal Abba Game Lodge regtig aanbeveel vir diegene wat rustig wil verkeer weg van die gewoel. Vir die sosiale media liefhebbers, daar is WiFi beskikbaar by die restaurant. Ons sal dit ook baie waardeer dat julle Doornpoort as die afdraai na Abba Game Lodge op jul padaanwysings sal aanbring. Dit maak dit net baie geriefliker.

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.

Ideale plek om jou batterye na `n lang jaar te herlaai.

Lieflike uitsigte, springbokkies wat voor jou chalet wei, swembaddens, heerlike kos persoonlik vir jou voorberei, bosbraai onder die lapa. Selfs die swak selfoonsein doen nie afbreuk nie. TV en WiFi by die hoofgeboue beskikbaar. Vir die kinders trampolien, mini gholf, pooltafel, tafeltennis, groot skaakstel. Wildritte ook op bespreking.

Ideal place to recharge your batteries after a long year.

Lovely views, spring goats grazing in front of your chalet, swimming pools, delicious food personally prepared for you, bush barbecue under the lapa. Even the weak cell phone signal does not detract. TV and WiFi available at the main buildings. For the children trampoline, mini golf, pool table, table tennis, large chess set. Game drives also on booking.

Restful.

Take a cold shower every day, no matter if you shower early, late or afternoon. The people were friendly except at reception. Kids really enjoyed the tractor rides and stick braai. 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. We were full of pepper ticks. It was nice that there was no city or car noise.

Wat 'n wonderlike ontspannende naweek!

Sal beslis Abba Game Lodge aanbeveel vir enigiemand wat wil ontspan. Alles vanaf die ontvangs tot die Restuarant & Pub en die personeel was awesome! Dankie aan Chantal, jy is 'n aanwins vir Abba Game Lodge. Heerlike kos, heerlike warm swembad en oulike chalets. Ons het onsself geniet!

Relaxing, the lapa is a big bonus.

Campsite clean, grass sites. Place was busy and bathrooms needed to be cleaned more regularly. Also hot water ran out in the morning so if you didn’t shower very early or during the day the showers were cold. Great stay nonetheless.

Staanplek met lapa 'n bonus, maar geen bestuur van lawaai laat aande nie.

Staanplekke en ablusie is baie netjies. Lapa is 'n bonus, veral in die hitte en as dit reën. Kinders geniet dit om die diere te sien wat in die lodge rondloop. Lekker staproete. Die enigste, groot negatief is dat geraas na 'n sekere tyd in die aand nie bestuur word nie. Ons het drie aande gebly. Eerste aand klomp dronk tieners wat baklei en gevloek het tot watter tyd. My man het hulle stil gaan maak. Tweede aand groep mense wat 11 uur begin het met harde musiek, geskree tot 2:20 volgende oggend. Kontak nr. van bestuurder op website is blykbaar verkeerd en ek kon niemand in die hande kry om die mense te kom stil maak nie. Ek het beide keer gaan kla. Derde aand was beter, maar die agtergrond kon jy nog hoor dat hulle amper deurnag het. Ons was vier gesinne met kinders, en almal het 'n naweek van slegte slaap gehad. Soveel om weg te kom van die stad en sy lawaai. Die lodge bied so baie, maar as sulke gedrag nie bestuur word nie, gaan dit mense weg hou. Boetes moet ingestel word.

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.

Just enough for small children to do and for the parents to relax.

Camping with own ablution, gave me a new desire for camping. Very glad I went to Abba Game lodge. Will definitely look for new camping spots with own ablution and try it. Thank you Abba and Lekeslaap

Skoon en gerieflik.

Onderhoud is goed, alhoewel 'n afgeleefde gasstoof in eenheid is kommerwekkend, aangesien die stoof oud is, en mens nie eers die merkers op die stoof kan sien nie. Die stoof is onder gordyne geplaas, wat vir seker 'n brandgevaar is met die grasdak boonop. A.g.v. dit was ons te bang om die stoof te gebruik. As gereelde RCI oorde besoeker kan mens nie vergelyk nie, glad nie modern nie, maar soos gesê het, dis skoon en ondanks die stoof en bv. botteloopmaker/steak messe wat nie daar is nie, het ons lekker gebly.

Clean and comfortable.

Maintenance is good, although a worn out gas stove in unit is a concern, as the stove is old, and one cannot even see the markers on the stove. The stove is placed under curtains, which is a fire hazard for sure with the thatched roof on top. Because of we were too afraid to use the stove. 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.

Great for families, walks and fun, beautiful surroundings with chalet excellently placed.

We had a great time there. Special location for the family fun time. The facilities are good. Loved the private lapa and fireplace and the beds were very comfy. The pool, tractor rides, dam and games are great fun. However, the negatives: the chalet was not that clean, especially the tiles around the stove and kitchen. We found the stay too expensive per night. The little shop is seriously under stocked and can be upgraded to serve the visitors.

Nie wat ons verwag het nie.

Die dam en die warm swembad is leeg. Die honde word in die swembad gewas terwyl ons kinders swem, daar was nie wildritte beskikbaar nie, jy kan nie met jou eie voertuig op 'n wildrit gaan nie, die personeel se vriende het hul eie partytjie gehou en die hele swembadarea oorgeneem. Boonop is die eenheid vreeslik klein en nie 'n plesier met twee kinders terwyl dit reën en jy glad nie welkom voel in die onthaalarea waar die hond op die bank lê en slaap nie. Verder was die personeel nie juis vriendelik nie. Ek dink hulle moet heroorweeg of hulle dit 'n lodge wil hou en of hulle dit eerder maar as privaat woning wil gebruik.

Not what we expected.

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.

Die kamp was goed, net te min aktiwiteite waarby almal kon deelneem en baat vind.

Ek sou net graag wil hê dat die grondpad behoorlik geskraap of geteer moet word, want vir mense met gewone karre en nie bakkies nie, is dit 'n uitdaging.

Heerlik en ontspanne verblyf met die uitsondering van enkele kwelpunte.

1. Slegte reuke van beeskraal. 2. Eienaar se honde ietwat van 'n oorlas asook hulle mis oral in die kamp area. 3. Winkel baie swak i.t.v. algemene benodigdhede soos brood en melk. 4. Grondpad nie te waffers nie, maar wel begaanbaar. 5. Sekuriteit is swak. Het by verskeie geleenthede by die hek gekom wat dit oop was met geen wag in sig nie. Ook by 'n paar geleenthede gevind dat die wag wel daar is, maar sit en slaap. Was oor die algemeen redelik stug. 6. Badkamers was netjies en skoon en privaat. 7. Persone wat braaiers skoongemaak het, was baie effektief en stiptelik en vriendelik.

Lovely and relaxing stay with the exception of a few points of concern.

1. Bad smells from cattle pen. 2. Owner's dogs somewhat of a nuisance as well as their droppings everywhere in the camp area. 3. Shop very poorly in terms of general necessities such as bread and milk. 4. Dirt road not too rough, but passable. 5. Security is poor. Came to the gate on several occasions that it was open with no guard in sight. Also found on a few occasions that the guard is indeed there, but sitting and sleeping. Was pretty stiff overall. 6. Bathrooms were neat and clean and private. 7. Persons who cleaned barbecues were very effective and punctual and friendly.

Pragtige ligging.

Sal baie waardeer as die bestuur van Abba jou die keuse gee wanneer jy bespreek om ingelig te word dat die hele kamp deur 140 studente oorgevat gaan word op die Saterdag, veral as jy net vir die naweek bietjie wou wegkom uit die stad en geraas. Busse vol mediese studente het vroegoggend gearriveer en soos hulle uit die bus geklim het was glad bottels ook rondgegooi. So bly jy die hele dag in jou tent/kamer.

Beautiful location.

Would really appreciate it if the management of Abba gives you the choice when you book to be informed that the entire camp will be taken over by 140 students on the Saturday, especially if you just wanted to get away from the city and noise for the weekend. Buses full of medical students arrived early in the morning and as they got off the bus smooth bottles were also thrown around. So you stay in your tent/room all day.

Ons verblyf was ongelooflik rustig en heerlik ontspannend.

Dis 'n heerlike familie-oord as jy net wil afskakel. Die diens was deurgaans ongelooflik en die warm swembad was ons hoogtepunt in die koue week. Daar's slegs een stukkie ongerief, ons was met die karavaan daar en die 11 km grondpad was nie in 'n geskikte toestand vir 'n gewone karavaan nie. Verder als puik.

Our stay was incredibly peaceful and wonderfully relaxing.

It's a lovely family resort if you just want to switch off. The service was amazing throughout and the hot pool was our highlight in the cold week. There is only one bit of inconvenience, we were there with the caravan and the 11 km dirt road was not in a suitable condition for a normal caravan. Otherwise great.

Juweel in bos.

Lekker wegbreek. Sorg net dat jy alles klaar koop in die dorp, want die oord is nogal duur. Jy wil nie klomp keer 'n dag dorp toe ry nie, want die pad is grondpad. Dit is heerlik stil en die bestuurder baie vriendelik. Ablusie blokke is baie skoon.

Nice break away. Just make sure you buy everything in town, because the resort is quite expensive. You don't want to drive to town many times a day, because the road is dirt road. It is wonderfully quiet and the driver very friendly. Ablution blocks are very clean.

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.

Die personeel by ontvangs was baie vriendelik. Die gaste moet net ingelig word oor hoe die restaurant reëlings werk. Ek wou ontbyt eet maar nie een van die dames het gevra of hulle my kon help toe ek by die tafel gaan sit nie. Een van die ander gaste het my reggehelp en gesê ek moet by ontvangs gaan bestel as ek iets wou eet. Ontvangs behoort gaste oor hierdie reëling in te lig by aankoms.

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.

Ons was baie dankbaar dat hulle ons op so kort kennisgewing kon huisves. Die plek is pragtig, karavaanstaanplekke baie mooi en baie groot. Badkamers is okay, nie wonderlik nie. Dis net jammer dat mense wat erg rus verstoor het nie vasgevat kon word nie.

Oulike oord maar verblyf is baie basies en kort aandag.

Ons het in een van die A-raam plekke gebly. Dit was nie baie skoon nie en die eenheid se meubels, toerusting en veral die ou uitgeslaapte beddens kort baie aandag. Die oord het wel baie moeite gedoen vir die kinders en hulle het dit vreeslik geniet om trekker te ry, putt putt te speel en deel te neem aan die aktiwiteite wat die oord vir spesiaal vir hulle gereël het. Staf is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

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.

Baie lekker gebly, maar een van die personeellede was baie ongeskik met ons.

Verblyf was lekker, kliëntediens - "nie almal nie" - was baie swak. Die lapa was nie skoongemaak nie en ons het gevoel ons was oortollig. Die kinders het dit vreeslik geniet. Daar is regtig baie vir hulle om te doen.

Die plek self en ontvangs is vriendelik, aanvaardelik maar hul netheid en skoonheid van die eenheid self was onaanvaarbaar.

Ek kan net noem dat die eenhede lekker ruim is en gepas vir die doel waarvoor dit daar is. Wat nie aanvaarbaar was nie is dat die plek nie vooraf skoongemaak is nie en dus stowwerig vuil was. Daar was bv. stof en dooie vlieë op die beddens en meubels en die eetkamertafel het spinnerakke onderaan sigbaar gehad en die bad was vuil en vol stof en dooie insekte en die muurteëls was ook nie skoon gewas nie en ou seep merke is sigbaar teen die teëls en stort glas. Na navraag het die bestuur ons ingelig dat hul nie sepe en handdoeke in die wooneenhede plaas nie vanweë vorige diefstalgevalle, maar dat dit wel beskikbaar is op aanvraag indien nodig. Persoonlik dink ek dat die onvanpas is om nuwe gaste soos potensiële misdadigers te wil akkommodeer. Die lodge moet bereidwillig wees om die risioko te neem en derhalwe hul versekering daarvoor in plek te hê. Die stoepie was ook vol voëltjie blertse. Ons het wel bg .onder die bestuur se aandag gebring en hul het aangedui dat hul wel met die betrokke skoonmaker sal handel.

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.

Ons was bekommerd oor wat ons gaan kry vir die bedrag wat ons betaal het. Na 'n entjie se ry op die grondpad, ontdek ons 'n pragtige lodge met als wat mens nodig het op vakansie. Genoeg om te doen, 'n bar om ietsie koud te kry en 'n netjiese chalet met lekker spasie. En die bokke wat vrylik rondloop is net nog 'n bonus. Die diens daar was ook baie vriendelik en behulpsaam!

Vir afsaal aan die einde van 'n besige tyd is dit die plek om dit te doen.

Lekker, dankie.

Baie lekker, sal seker baie mooier wees in somer. Dit was 'n bietjie koud, maar ons het dit tog geniet.

Good, thanks.

Very nice. Will probably be more beautiful in summer. It was a bit cold, but we still enjoyed it.

Tranquility away from the concrete jungle of Johannesburg.

What a quiet, open and relaxing atmosphere. Good for a family getaway. The kids have a nice play area and there are game drives. The heated pool is the one. It is a big lodge and everyone minds their own business. The decor is very rustic to match the structure. Value for money. There is no network, so leave your phones at home and just enjoy the peace and quiet. It is quite rejuvenating. Oh the 11 km gravel road leading to Abba lodge is a pain. You need an SUV or Bakkie.

It was a wonderful relaxing experience.

I will recommend it to any one who wants to rest and relax in the bush veld. The game drive is interesting if you are interest in the bush and what the Waterberg can offer.

Baie lekker. Net grondpad kort aandag.

Sal definitief weer daar bly, maar soos gesê, die grondpad kort aandag. Warm water ook 'n probleem somtyds. Ek sal sterk aanbeveel dat hulle 'n "heatpump"-stelsel installeer wat krag ensomeer sal bespaar.

Very nice. Only dirt road needs attention.

Will definitely stay there again, but as said, the dirt road needs attention. Hot water also a problem sometimes. I would strongly recommend that they install a "heatpump" system which will save power and some.

Lekker wegbreek vir 'n gesin.

Niks "fancy" of luuks nie, maar wel 'n heerlike plek vir naweek wegbreek. Baie spasie vir kinders om te hardloop en te speel. Agv die droogte en koue was die dam leeg en die swembaddens te koud, maar ek glo in die warmer maande is dit 'n fees.

Nice getaway for family.

Nothing fancy of luxurious, but great place for wekkend getaway. Spacious for kids to run around and play. The drought and cold meant that the dam was empty and the swimming pools were to cold. But it would be great during summer.

Rustig en vreedsaam.

Dit was 'n voorreg om die tyd daar te spandeer waar daar geen TV of selfoon ontvangs is nie. Daar was tyd om te gesels en speletjies te speel. Die kleintjies het die bederfies tydens die trekker ritte baie geniet.

Quiet and peaceful.

It was a privilege to spend the time there where there is no TV or mobile phone reception. There was time to chat and play games. The little ones really enjoyed the treats during the tractor rides.

Nie gelukkig nie.

Ontvangs kan mens nie eers ordentlik groet by die ontvangs nie. As mens vra waar is die huisie sê die ontvangs vir jou ry maar net. Wat se tipe antwoord is dit? Daar word nie eers vir jou verduidelik waar is alles op die plaas nie nee ons moes alles self uitpluis. Die plek was so vuil die yskas was vol stof bo op. die gordyne was vuil. Die badkamer lig het nie eers gewerk nie. Daar was net 1 kragpunt mens alles moes inprop in die kombuis so mens moes die heeltyd die Mikrogolf en die ketel skuif om dit te kon gebruik.

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.
