Very well located, clean and beautiful scenery.
They also have a "driving range" available which is nice for loosening muscles after a long day of driving. A small swimming pool for cooling off, and a small shop with cute gifts and basic necessities. The restaurant also has delicious food at reasonable prices. We will definitely stop there again.

Short attention span.
The paddock was already closed when we got there tiredly late on a Sunday afternoon. Still, Frank the cook prepared a tasty dinner for us. We really appreciated it. Likewise, the next morning's light breakfast was very nice. The location is conveniently close for an overnight stop from the border post. It's almost on the road, but it didn't bother us at all during the night. As for the room, it is nice and spacious with a king size bed. A question mark is the sheet and light blanket which were too small for the large bed and intended for a smaller bed. The duvet is fine, but on the warm evenings you don't use it. We also conveyed several problems to the owners the next morning, because we certainly didn't feel like fussing about things that were wrong at that time of the evening. Unfortunately, one only notices the problems after the vehicle has been unpacked. Our feeling is that Baobabs has a lot of potential - but needs attention and supervision before one can unequivocally recommend it.

Rustic, but comfortable.
Rustic, but comfortable. Attended wedding ceremony at lodge nearby. Didn't want to drive back to Polokwane after the ceremony. Decided to sleep over at Baobabs Bushveld Rest. Rooms rustic, but completely adequate. Hostess and host very friendly and helpful. Delicious meals and treats at the paddock. Big trees and peaceful atmosphere. Highway passing by does not bother.

Nicole, ons is bitter jammer oor die slegte ervaring wat jul gehad het en die meeste probleme is reeds vandag aangespreek.
Die enigste klagte wat ek nie verstaan nie is die vuil beddegoed want die linne word elke keer afgehaal en met skoon gewastes vervang. Die merke op die teels is ongelukkig agv die baie kalk in die water wat die teels so vlek maar ons ondersoek nog beter maniere om van die kalk en merke ontslae te raak.
Weereens jammer hieroor.

It was pleasant, even though we did not see the owners a lot or have contact with them.
The place is well located and will be much more popular if a little attention is given to the rooms. There was little attention on the inside of the bathroom and for the price it was a bit neglected.

Sorry but we were a bit disappointed from arrival to departure. Baobabs Bushveld Rest was not quite what we expected.
Firstly, it is too close to the N11, the trucks drive all night. My head felt like a washed rag the next morning. The staff could appear a bit more enthusiastic when guests arrive. Maybe also offer help with luggage since you can't park near the room. The crockery and cutlery were so greasy and dirty I literally had to wash what I wanted to use before we could use it. Saturday night around 23:30 discovered there was no water. Well thought the tank might be empty will probably fill up overnight. But @ 8:00 still nothing, I then sent a message to the owner who didn't answer until 9:00. that the pump had burst and that 2 liters of water had been placed on the stoep table, and that the toilet at the paddock could be used. As a guest, I would have appreciated it more if the Owner/Management had been proactive and sent a message to the guests early on regarding the crisis. Because if I hadn't asked, we would only have discovered the 2 bottles of water upon departure, which was basically the case. Luckily we had a bottle of water ourselves and did our own crisis management @ 8:45 because at that time there was still no response to my question because, we actually wanted to drive early.

Anel, Henk and the staff made us feel so welcome, almost felt like family. The room had everything that was needed and the air conditioning was a pleasure. The bed was perfect (lots of blues from previous stays), lovely fresh linen and we had plenty of hot water. The breakfast was also delicious and on time, and I must not forget to mention the delicious dried sausage that Henk and Anel sell at the cafe, it must be tasted. Thank you again for your hospitality, we will definitely stay there again when we tour Botswana.

We used it as a stopover before crossing the border. The stay was good. The only negative aspect was that the person who received us was not very fluent in English. It put a damper on first impressions. Met the owners and they are very nice. I would do something to improve welcome.

Goeie dag Thys, baie dankie vir die terugvoer. Dit help ons baie. Ongelukkig het ons daardie tyd 'n probleem gehad met ons personeel en die hoof dame wat gewoonik ons gaste ontvang, was nie daar nie. Dit bly vir ons 'n probleem dat ons nie elke gas self kan ontvang nie maar ons is hard besig om dit te probeer regstel.
Ons hoop om jul weer by ons te kan verwelkom en dat jul 'n noemenswaardige verskil sal sien.

Acceptable.
The original accommodation was not waffles. The toilet is clogged. The shower doesn't work. The sink sprays you with water when you open it without being informed of the pressure. The sink has no stopper. We were later put in another room which was definitely much better. The cheap option is really not to be recommended. It is a self-catering unit but the cutlery is very poor. Take your own. I would recommend that the ad for accommodation be adjusted to clearly reflect the difference between the accommodation options.

Thomas baie dankie vir die terugvoer. Ek is vreeslik jammer oor die dinge wat nie na wense was nie. Ons personeel weet hul moet gaste moet inlig oor die sterk drukking van die water agv die gas geysers. Ek sal van nou af 'n nota in badkamers aanbring. Dankie ook vir die ander dinge wat jy onder ons aandag gebring het. Dit sal dadelik reggestel word.
