Ons kuier by Bigfoot 248 Mabalingwe was uitstekend.

Die wegbreekweek wat ons gehad het by Bigfoot 248 Mabalingwe was uitstekend. Ons eenheid was baie skoon en netjies en goed toegerus. Die eienaar, Berlena, het ons vroegtydig in kennis gestel dat ons beurtkrag sal ervaar, maar die eenheid het 'n gasstoof en solarbeligting gehad sodat ons darem vir ons 5 maande oue baba dogtertjie warm water kon kook vir haar bottel, kos kon maak en 'n lekker koppie koffie kon geniet. Mabalingwe se personeel en veldwagters is baie aangename mense en ons het die "Predator Park" besonders geniet. Hul toewyding en omgee is duidelik sigbaar. Baie dankie aan almal wat ons week so besonders en spesiaal gemaak het. Dit was ons eerste wegbreek met ons baba dogtertjie en dit sal ons altyd bybly dat Bigfoot 248 en Mabalingwe 'n baie spesiale plek is om in die natuur te kom uitrus en kuier.

Our stay at Bigfoot 248 Mabalingwe was excellent.

The breakaway week we had at Bigfoot 248 Mabalingwe was excellent. Our unit was very clean and tidy and well equipped. The owner, Berlena, informed us in advance that we would experience load shedding, but the unit had a gas stove and solar lighting so at least we could boil hot water for our 5 month old baby girl for her bottle, make food and ' could enjoy a nice cup of coffee. Mabalingwe's staff and rangers are very pleasant people and we particularly enjoyed the "Predator Park". Their dedication and care is clearly visible. Many thanks to everyone who made our week so special and special. It was our first break with our baby girl and we will always remember that Bigfoot 248 and Mabalingwe are a very special place to come and relax in nature.

Perfek vir 'n vinnige wegkom uit die stad. Lekker ontspan tussen die diere.

Baie netjiese, ruim eenheid toegerus met alles wat nodig is en meer. Daar is 'n vreeslike lekker boma-area om in die aande te braai. Die verblyf is in gerieflike loopafstand van die winkeltjie en ontspanningsarea met geriewe om kindertjies besig te hou. Sal graag weer besoek en sal die eenheid aanbeveel vir enige een. Eienaar is behulpsaam en vinnig om te reageer op boodskappe.

Dit was baie lekker. Baie gerieflik en goed toegerus. Die vierplaatgasstoof was 'n wenner met die 4 ure load shedding.

Was 'n heerlike naweek. As bonus op 'n Safari rit het ons 4 renosters in die modder sien rondrol en 'n trop olifante het ons kom groet.

Rustigheid en vrede vir die siel in die asemrowende bosveld.

Die eenheid is baie netjies en goed toegerus, en perfek geleë, so ons kon heerlik ontspan en kuier. Die skoonmaker, Nkele, het ons bederf deur elke dag die eenheid te kom skoonmaak met 'n glimlag, en die nutsman, John, het ons onmiddelik gehelp toe ons hulp benodig het met die waterdruk en stort. Hy het ook gesorg dat die swembad skoon en netjies was tydens ons verblyf.

He also ensured that the pool was clean and tidy during our stay.

Stay was lovely.

We picked up that the wooden sliding door is breaking on one side. Also, the code for the key safe that was given is incorrect. The only thing we can suggest is a gas braai under cover as if it rains or in our case the wind came up badly one cannot braai and also there was not 1 torch and bearing in mind we have loadshedding we feel there could've been a plan made to accommodate during this.

Aangename wegbreek maar verblyf effens teleurstellend.

Die grootste teleurstelling was die lugversorging in een van die kamers wat nie gewerk het nie. Dit het dit baie ongemaklik gemaak tydens 'n hittegolf. Ons het die eienaar laat weet, maar daar is niks aan gedoen nie. Daar is ook nie volledige stelle van ses van sekere items nie, bv. stoelkussings, glasborde (daar was plastiekborde) ens. en die houtskuifdeure is ook besig om te breek. Ons het die privaat swembad en diere baie geniet.

Pleasant break but slightly disappointing stay.

The biggest disappointment was the air conditioning in one of the rooms that didn't work. This made it very uncomfortable during a heat wave. We let the owner know, but nothing was done about it. There are also not complete sets of six of certain items, e.g. chair cushions, glass plates (there were plastic plates) etc. and the wooden sliding doors are also breaking. We really enjoyed the private pool and animals.

Comfortable winter family holiday.

Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, the house is very well equipped, the air conditioners in the bottom bedrooms were fantastic for a winter stay, it wasn't freezing at night. I do wish I had known when booking that while there are 3 TV's, there is only one decoder, so all three TV's play the same thing at the same time, but this was really minor. Had fantastic animal sightings from the unit. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, will definitely book here again in the future.

Die swembad en boma was 'n groot lekkerte en die olifante wat op ons stoep kom kuier het is iets wat ons nooit sal vergeet nie. Sal beslis weer terug wees.

Gerieflik en baie diere op jou voorstoep.

Gerieflike plekkie vir 'n gesin van 4. Baie diere het die eenheid besoek en ons was gelukkig om olifante ook te besigtig. Die eenheid is loopafstand van die speelarea. Die kombuisgereedskap is bietjie vuil en benodig aandag. Alhoewel daaglikse skoonmaakdienste geadverteer word, was die eenheid nie daagliks skoongemaak nie, of die dame het net voorlangs skoongemaak. Sal weer Bigfoot besoek.

Comfortable and lots of animals on your doorstep.

Comfortable place for a family of 4. Many animals visited the unit and we were lucky to see elephants as well. The unit is walking distance from the play area. The kitchen utensils are a bit dirty and need attention. Although daily cleaning services are advertised, the unit was not cleaned daily, or the lady only cleaned the front. Will visit Bigfoot again.

Heerlike boswegbreek.

Ons het 'n wonderlike 4 dae gehad by Bigfoot 248. Die slaapkamers is ruim en elke kamer het sy eie badkamer wat baie lekker is as mens 'n tienerdogter het. Die diere kom kuier sommer by jou op die stoep en die klein swembad was baie lekker om in te speel en af te koel. Die winkeltjie, tennisbane en gemeenskaplike swembad was binne stapafstand. Daar is baie te doen en te sien in Mabalingwe!

Lovely forest break.

We had a wonderful 4 days at Bigfoot 248. The bedrooms are spacious and each room has its own bathroom which is great if you have a teenage daughter. The animals just come to visit you on the stoep and the small pool was very nice to play in and cool off. The small shop, tennis courts and communal swimming pool were within walking distance. There is a lot to do and see in Mabalingwe!

Bosveld wegbreek met alles wat jy sou verwag. Lekker gebraai, lekker geswem, lekker gesels.

Aanvanklik geskrik vir hoe naby die wild aan jou kom maar as jy eers gemaklik is daarmee 'n wonderlike ervaring. Hou die vensters net baie goed toe as jy nie daar is nie en moet nie skrik as die olifante of 'n paar Nyalas dalk kom saam braai nie.

Bushveld getaway with everything you would expect. Nice barbecue, nice swimming, nice conversation.

At first startled by how close the wildlife gets to you but once you are comfortable with it a wonderful experience. Just keep the windows very well closed when you are not there and don't be alarmed if the elephants or a few Nyalas might come and have a barbecue.

Ons het baie lekker gekuier en gebly. Ons het veral die vlakvarke en bosvarke baie geniet.

Voorstelle daar is geen onderdak braaier. Saterdagaand het ons loadshedding en reën gelyk gehad kon nie braai nie, dit was regtig 'n probleem en dis nie asof ons min betaal het vir die unit nie. Daar was ook nie 'n skiller nie en die messe vir vrugte en groente sny moet vervang word, hulle is stomp.

Uitstekende verblyf en 'n onvergeetlike vakansie!

Mabalingwe 248 Elephant Lodge is die perfekte verblyf vir enige gesin. Die kamers is stylvol, ruim en is toegerus met al die kommoditeite wat 'n mens nodig het. Veral die boma is 'n bonus. Dit is heerlik om in die aande daar te braai. Verder is die eienaars vriendelik en baie behulpsaam. Die omgewing het 'n rustige atmosfeer wat dikwels deur vlakvarke en njala's besoek word. Die hoof swembad area is loopafstand, en het daagliks baie aktiwiteite om almal besig te hou. Dit is beslis baie goeie waarde vir geld! Ek sal beslis hierdie verblyf aanbeveel; dit was werklik 'n vakansie wat ek nooit sal vergeet nie!

Excellent stay and an unforgettable holiday!

Mabalingwe 248 Elephant Lodge is the perfect accommodation for any family. The rooms are stylish, spacious and equipped with all the commodities one needs. Especially the boma is a bonus. It is wonderful to barbecue there in the evenings. Furthermore, the owners are friendly and very helpful. The area has a peaceful atmosphere that is often visited by warthogs and nyalas. The main pool area is within walking distance, and has plenty of daily activities to keep everyone busy. It is definitely very good value for money! I would definitely recommend this accommodation; it was truly a vacation that I will never forget!

Ons sal vir seker weer besoek.

As ek moet fout soek sal ek sê die enigste kritiek wat ek het is dat dit bietjie vuil was onder en binne die banke. Die vadoeke was ook vuil en die dame wat skoongemaak het, het nie al die asblikke leeg gemaak nie. Die boonste kamer se krane kort TLC. Andersins puik akkommodasie!

If I had to find fault I would say the only criticism I have is that it was a bit dirty under and inside the sofas. The dishcloths were also dirty and the cleaning lady did not empty all the bins. The upstairs room's faucets need TLC. Otherwise great accommodation!

Lekker in die bos met bokkies oral.

Baie lekker gebly en die lapa deeglik gebruik. Die soutlek het beteken dat baie diere tot by ons gekom het, njalas, koedoes, ens. Die vlakvarke was egter baie lasting en ons moes die klein kinders die heeltyd beskerm nadat een van hulle 'n kind prober byt het.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Nice in the woods with goats everywhere.

Had a great stay and used the lapa thoroughly. The salt lick meant that many animals came to us, nyalas, kudus, etc. However, the warthogs were very troublesome and we had to protect the small children the whole time after one of them tried to bite a child.

Luukse, gemaklike eenheid in die bosveld.

Ek sal die eenheid aanbeveel vir enige een. Ons was 'n groep vriende saam met 3 laerskool kinders. Ons het die luuksheid van die eenheid baie geniet asook die ligging, omdat die eenheid nie vêr van die swembad en ander geriewe is nie. Die eienaar, Bronwyn het waarlik die ekstra myl gegaan om aan al ons versoeke toe voldoen, asook die ekstra "ietsie" wat vir ons in die eenheid gewag het met aankoms. Ons wil dit nou 'n jaarlikse instelling maak, so ons sien jul weer binnekort.

Luxury comfortable unit in the bush.

I would recommend this unit to anyone. We were a group of friends along with 3 primary school children. We enjoyed the luxury and location as it is not too far from the pool and other facilities. The owner Bronwyn went the extra mile to fulfil our requests and even left an extra something for us in the unit before we arrived. We want to go there every year now, so will see you again soon.

Ons het 'n heerlike naweek gehad. Die uitleg van die eenheid het goed vir ons gewerk. Dit is goed toegerus en het in meeste van ons behoeftes voldoen. Die kuier in die lapa om die vuur was baie spesiaal. Die skugter koedoes wat die soutlek naby die lapa kom opsoek het, het jou na aan die natuur laat voel. Dit was goed om weer in die bos te kom.

Breakaway for our family over the Easter weekend.

It is a wonderful house with a lot of potential in a lovely environment. The house however needs a lot of maintenance attention, i.e. the light at the Lapa that is not working together with other lights that the owners are aware of. The air-con in the bedroom on the left is freezing up and throwing out ice. The tap in the kitchen is stripped. A lot of the tiles are cracked. There were only 3 teaspoons in the cutlery drawer. The owners are aware of most of the problems (Thank you for the wine!) The owners are also very friendly and helpful and responded promptly to our inquiries during the weekend.
