Was 'n lekke wegbreek naweek saam ons beste vriende.

Ons het regtig baie lekker by Boabab Lodge gebly. Meer as genoeg slaapplek en al die kamers het lugversorging. Uitkyk van die kamers is asemrowend gewees. Kamers is groot, badkamers is mooi uitgelê met stort en bad.

Was a great getaway weekend with our best friends.

We really enjoyed our stay at Boabab Lodge. More than enough sleeping space and all the rooms have air conditioning. View from the rooms was breathtaking. Rooms are large, bathrooms are nicely laid out with shower and bath.

Mabalingwe is 'n heerlike wegbreek lekker naby aan die stad.

Ons het die kuier vreeslik geniet. Ek is net jammer dat die wildsbesigtigingsvoertuig nie ingesluit is by die verblyf nie. Die gebruik daarvan is nie beskikbaar vir besoekers nie en net vir die gebruik van die eienaar.

Mabalingwe is a lovely getaway close to the city.

We really enjoyed the visit. I am only sorry that the game viewing vehicle is not included in the stay. Its use is not available to visitors and only for the use of the owner.

Die 3de keer wat ons terug gaan en dit bly wonderlik.

Die eienaar was baie behulpsaam, hy het ons laat gehelp met 'n probleem op 'n Saterdagaand. Baie vriendelik en gasvry.

Absolutely fantastic.

Baobab was everything and more, the kitchen, the living and sleeping areas were lovely. The inside fire place allowed to stay warm and work into the night. I would definitely recommend the lodge. The animal sitings from the balcony were magical.

Boabab Lodge exceeded our expectations and more!

Spacious house with a great layout. House was clean with everything you would need. The location was great and we were able to view many animals from our balcony. Sunsets were amazing! I would definitely recommend the Boabab Lodge and will most definitely be visiting there again soon.

The photo's are an understatement of the real place. We were pleasantly surprised how accommodating Boabab was. The child friendliness was an absolute bonus!

The view is absolutely incredible. Really accomodating in every aspect. Two fridges worked very well with so many people staying there. Child friendly! Gates at all the stairs. Service is very good. Prompt response to any of our questions. Very welcoming. Our electricity went off and they came to assist us quickly. Fireplace inside came in handy as we were there during a rainy period. Gas braai also came in handy on the rainy nights. Guest toilet on the main floor came in handy as we didn't need to climb the stairs to use the restroom. I know these might be strange things to mention but these are the things we were pleasantly surprised by and thankful for during our stay. Almost as if Boabab was made for our family. Something that would have been nice is a warm pool but we knew from the start that it was not a warm pool so we can't complain about that. Pity we couldn't use the boma area due to the weather. Looks amazing! And also not on the photos. Wish we could have stayed longer!

The photos undersell the property - the location and views are amazing.

The property and the staff were top. Constant focus on safety with regards to fires and daily cleaning service, and the restaurant as well. Customer service is clearly the passion of all the staff we encountered. We will be back.

Thank you Kyle, it is impossible to catch the view and location in photos, so we hope it is a pleasant surprise for our guests. Glad to have you visit us at any time.

Mooi ligging, verskeidenheid van wilde diere is 'n pluspunt.

Omdat die in die privaat gedeelte van Mabalingwe is, is daar minder mense en meer diere, wat ons goed gepas het. Die huis is ruim, ons was daar met 4 egpare, 2 tieners en 2 klein kinders.

Nice location, variety of wild animals is a plus.

Being in the private part of Mabalingwe, there are less people and more animals, which suited us well. The house is spacious, we were there with 4 couples, 2 teenagers and 2 small children.

Clean accommodation. Spacious with all amenities, and great view onto a waterhole. Animals in close proximity, and it is safe.

Perfect for a large group, bathrooms en suite. Wi-Fi connects but no internet connection. It is located within the Mabalingue Reserve, free access to cold and warm pools, playgrounds and self drive tours for game viewing.

Onvergeetlike rustigheid waar ontspan kan word met diere wat vrylik rondloop.

Hierdie huis was heerlik ingerig vir 'n kuier saam met familie. Die ruim vertrekke en ongelooflike uitsig help om die gevoel van vryheid en rustigheid in te neem. Die diere kom regtig naby verby en die uitkyk op 'n waterpunt is defnitief 'n pluspunt.

Unforgettable tranquility where you can relax with animals that roam freely.

This house was beautifully furnished for a visit with family. The spacious rooms and incredible view help to take in the feeling of freedom and tranquility. The animals come really close and the view on a water point is definitely a plus.
