Great value for money.

2nd visit and still a great option. Three small items need attention: mirrors in bathrooms, toilet paper in bathrooms, and adherence to noise and music regulations.

Perfekte wegbreek. So rustig en skoon. Die wild beweeg tussen die huisies.

Dit was presies wat nodig was om weg te breek van die besige stad. Die afsluit en natuur om jou is amazing.

Quiet and comfy stay.

Very quiet and peaceful stay, beds were comfortable and the room was nice and clean. The only con is that if the weather is less desirable, there is not much to do for young kids as there is only a play gym and a pool.

Nice but disappointing stay.

This was our second stay at Big Creek but unfortunately, it was less enjoyable than the first time. The lodge has deteriorated in terms of facilities, amenities and safety. The rooms, while clean, need renovation. From loose plug points and tiles to uncomfortable beds, a little bit of TLC could have made our stay so much better. In terms of amenities, we experienced an electricity outage and a few water outages during our stay with little to no communication from those running the lodge. Lastly, in terms of security, this left much to be desired. On arrival, we were just let in with no formal check-in procedure at the gate. We also did not witness any security patrolling on any of the nights we stayed. On our last night, there was an emergency requiring security's intervention, but we could not locate security. When security eventually arrived, the only illumination he had was from a cellphone torch. While we really enjoy staying at Big Creek as a family, we simply cannot return until several improvements are made.

Waarde vir geld en rustig.

Alhoewel ons amper weggespoel het in ons tent Vrydagaand, was dit 'n vreeslik lekker naweek. Ons sal definitief weer kom kuier sodat ons meer van die omgewing, diere en swembad kan geniet. Al wat gepla het, was die bestuurder het gaste gehad Vrydagaand en vreeslik harde musiek gespeel tot baie laat die aand, wat heeltemal weggevat het van die rustigheid waarna ons gaan soek het.

Value for money and peaceful.

Although we almost washed away in our tent on Friday night, it was an awfully nice weekend. We will definitely visit again so that we can enjoy more of the environment, animals and swimming pool. All that bothered was the manager had guests on Friday night and played terribly loud music until very late at night, which completely took away from the tranquility we were looking for.

Lekker familie kuier, baie netjies en skoon.

Big Creek Lodge is baie billik geprys en badkamers is baie skoon. 'n Spieel of 2 in die kampeerders se badkamers sal 'n goeie idee wees, asook toilet papier en asblikkies in elke toilet. Die swembad was yskoud, so dit sal lekker wees in die bloedige hitte van die somer, en die kinders het die klimraam en speelarea baie geniet. Daar was ongelukkig 'n geval van diefstal by van die kampeerders op die Saterdagaand. Die chalet is baie mooi en goed toegerus, insluitend 'n lugverkoelingstelsel.

Nice family visit, very neat and clean.

Big Creek Lodge is very reasonably priced and bathrooms are very clean. A mirror or 2 in the campers' bathrooms would be a good idea, as well as toilet paper and trash cans in each toilet. The pool was ice cold so it will be nice in the bloody heat of summer, and the kids really enjoyed the climbing frame and play area. Unfortunately there was a case of theft from some of the campers on the Saturday evening. The chalet is very nice and well equipped, including an air conditioning system.

Had a great time with some room for improvement.

We were welcomed very kindly and had a great stay. There are a few things that are unfinished that would have made the experience perfect. The front door handle was broken and a temporary lock and latch was put up with an open window. Chances are it has already been sorted out. The pool was dirty. The rest was very nice, thank you!

Beste kort vakansie ooit.

Beste vakansie. Dit was ons heel eerste keer in die NW provinsie. Ons was stomgeslaan met die skoonheid van die Magaliesberge asook die lodge. Dit was die rustigste vakansie ooit. Die lodge is topklas en vir beter diens en gasvryheid kon ons nie vra nie. Hulle het uit hulle pad gegaan vir ons sowel as al die ander gaste. Julle gaan ons beslis weer sien. julle is TOPS!

Beautiful place; still under development.

We had a beautiful stay. It was raining heavily, and it would really be appreciated if they built concrete/paved slabs on the camping stands and somewhat arranged water drainage from the tent areas, as the soil there is muddy, resulting in the camping areas being water swamped. Activities are very limited, but otherwise it was a beautiful stay.
