Lekker gekuier in die bosveld.

'n Heerlike wegbreek in die bosveld, met bosveldvuur soos mens net in die bosveld kan maak, al die bosgeluide, die sonsondergang. Die hoogtepunt was die nagapie wat op ons laaste aand in die bome rondom ons gebaljaar het.

Have a good time in the forest.

A wonderful getaway in the bushveld, with a bushveld fire as you can only make in the bushveld, all the forest sounds, the sunset. The highlight was the night owl that frolicked in the trees around us on our last night.

Great value for money.

It was wonderful. When we dealt with the staff, they were friendly and knowledgeable. The place was clean and well-maintained, and the signage inside the property was easy to follow and understand. The view from the tree house is great, and the camp feeling at the boma was enjoyable. We will definitely return when it is summer and recommend this to others. Good value for money. There was a fee (I think it was R150 odd rand) that needed to be paid at the gate on arrival that we were not aware of.

Thank you for your review: we are pleased you enjoyed the best of our lodge wildlife reserve. We enjoyed hosting you and would welcome you back. We recently added more/better signs around our camp at the request of our guests. It is wonderful to hear they are working.

Asemrowend.

'n Ongelooflike plek met pragtige uitsigte en vriendelike personeel. Dit is ons tweede keer wat ons by Bona Ntaba Tree House Lodge bly en ons sal definitief weer beplan om te besoek. Die akkommodasie het die mooiste uitsig oor die berge en die sonsondergange is asemrowend. Die chalets is vlekkeloos en gesellig. Beslis 'n 11/10.

An incredible place with beautiful views and friendly staff. This is our second time staying at Bona Ntaba Tree House Lodge and we will definitely plan to visit again. The accommodation has the most beautiful view of the mountains and the sunsets are breathtaking. The chalets are spotless and cosy. Definitely an 11/10.

Second coming back to Bona Ntaba - scenic, beautifully calm, perfect escape from the JHB chaos - staff friendly and kind - their neighbour Panzi Lodge for check in were amazing, super helpful - we had a flat tyre and they quickly assisted us with ease - made us feel welcome!

Tranquility is bliss.

I would have given a full 5/5, but in doing so, it would then suggest there is no room for improvement. Overall, the stay was excellent, and I am looking forward to staying there again in February/March. The devil, however, is in the detail, and I found the linen, although clean, a bit past being used in a guest facility. There were unsightly stains on the kitchen sink - my OCD could not get it clean. Other than that, brilliant place, tranquil setting, excellent value for money, especially for a single traveller like myself. I needed that. Thank you.

Bona Ntaba Tree House Lodge 's response

Thank you for your flattering comments and your constructive suggestions. It saddens us that the sink was damaged by a guest a while ago and needs a full replacement to make it nice again. This will happen in the future. I would appreciate which linens especially seem worn out: the duvet cover, sheets, towels, kitchen linen? It would help us when we do an inspection to find and remove old items. Thank you.

Rustige kuier.

Ons het in Bona Ntaba Tree House Lodge gebly en die kombuis was goed toegerus. Die boomhuis en boma was ook baie gerieflik. Alles was mooi en skoon. Dit is jammer dat 'n mens nie enige roetes mag ry of gaan stap nie, so jy moet maar wag vir die wild om by jou verby te kom. Ons was gelukkig om kameelperde as geselskap te kry. Die sentrale swembad was ook mooi skoon en ons kon ook daar gaan sit.

Peaceful visit.

We stayed in Bona Ntaba Tree House Lodge and the kitchen was well equipped. The treehouse and boma were also very comfortable. Everything was nice and clean. It's a shame that you're not allowed to drive or walk any trails, so you just have to wait for the wildlife to pass you by. We were lucky to have giraffes for company. The central pool was also pretty clean and we could sit there too.

Leke wegbreuk, huisie kon net bietjie groter wees en/of 'n ekstra vertrek met bank/TV.

Ons het lekker gebly. Die boma is baie lekker vir 'n vuur en die kombuis is naby, alles wat eintlik kort is 'n klein sitkamer waar kinders kon sit/speel veral in die aand, juis omdat dit so oop (en donker is) en wilde diere naby is. Dus kort daar net so 'n ekstra plekkie vir as jy nie buite om die vuur/koue wil sit nie. Die 'main lodge' se TV sou ook nice wees, veral tydens rugbywedstryde, en ook 'n geleentheid om ys te koop (veral omdat dit so ver uit die dorp is). Die beddens bo vir die kinders, al is hulle ouer as 6, is baie hoog, en ons moes matrasse op die grond plaas wat die kamer natuurlik baie beperk het vir ons vier om te beweeg. Daar is ook geen kas vir klere nie, en dus vat vier tasse nogals al die spasie op.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Like a break away, the house could only be a little bigger and/or an extra room with sofa/TV.

We had a nice stay. The boma is very nice for a fire and the kitchen is close, all that is really missing is a small living room where children could sit/play especially in the evening, precisely because it is so open (and dark) and wild animals are nearby . So all you need is an extra place if you don't want to sit outside around the fire/cold. The main lodge's TV would also be nice, especially during rugby matches, and also an opportunity to buy ice (especially as it is so far out of town). The beds upstairs for the kids, even though they are over 6, are very high, and we had to put mattresses on the ground which obviously limited the room for the four of us to move around. There is also no closet for clothes, so four suitcases take up almost all the space.

Bona Ntaba Tree House Lodge 's response

Thank you for your suggestions, Lynelda. The tree houses do pose a difficulty when it comes to children. What the best minimum age is, we are not sure. We want families to enjoy the wildlife and bush, but safety must always come first. Perhaps in the future we need to limit it to older children. Regarding TVs, our mission is to provide a nature break with quiet nights spent outside around the fire, so we resist requests to provide TVs that bring in the outside world.

Nie waarde vir geld nie.

Nee. 1. Beddegoed was vol merke. 2. Boomhuis binne was vuil. 3. Toilet was vuil, asook krane het aanpaksels gehad wat veroorsaak het dat die stort nie lekker werk nie. 4. Deur oop- en toemaak was 'n gesukkel.

Rustigheid op sy beste.

Beste plek om te kom rus, en weg van die warboel. Skoon, baie veilig en gerieflik. Boomhuisie is netjies en alles wat jy nodig het, is daar en nog meer. Kombuis en boma-area by mekaar. Baie stil en veilige omgewing. In die hartjie van die bosveld. Jy hoor net diere in die nag. Terapie op sy beste. Baie lekker privaat. Ver genoeg van die ander eenhede. Sal vir seker aanbeveel en nog lekker naby genoeg aan Orpen hek. Conservation fees is op na R150, maar dis die minste.

Tranquility at its best.

Best place to come to rest, and away from the hustle and bustle. Clean, very safe and comfortable. Tree house is tidy and everything you need is there and more. Kitchen and boma area next to each other. Very quiet and safe environment. In the heart of the forest. You only hear animals at night. Therapy at its best. Very nice and private. Far enough from the other units. Would recommend for sure and nice and close enough to Orpen gate. Conservation fee is up to R150, but that's the least.

Boomhuis-avontuur.

Ons het ons verblyf in die boomhuis baie geniet. Dit was 'n groot avontuur vir ons jong seuns, asook vir ons grootmense. Asemrowende uitsig oor die bos en berge. Die Zebra eenheid het sy eie privaat kombuis en boma-area, wat 'n lieflike atmosfeer in die aand het vir braai! 'n Muskeljaatkat het ons een aand by die boma besoek. Mens hoor leeus brul in die aand en voel deel van die natuur. Baie stil, privaat plek. Die reservaat is nogal afgeleë, maar veilig. Maak net self voorsiening vir lig tydens beurtkrag, daar word nie LED ligte voorsien nie en die water toevoer is laag tydens beurtkrag. Die eienaar het wel vir ons 'n klein stofie gebring toe daar 'n langer kragonderbreking in die area was. Orpenhek (Kruger) is net onder 'n uur se ry vanaf Bona Ntaba en 'n wonderlike daguitstappie. Ons het die swembad ook geniet, alles was netjies en skoon. Daar is 'n rustieke boskroeg / restaurant by die lodge langsaan Bona Ntaba, hulle bied nie 'n groot menu nie, maar die opsies is voldoende as mens nie te puntenerig is of wil inry Hoedspruit toe nie.

Treehouse Adventure.

We really enjoyed our stay in the treehouse. It was a great adventure for our young boys, as well as for our adults. Breathtaking view of the forest and mountains. The Zebra unit has its own private kitchen and boma area, which has a lovely atmosphere in the evening for braai! A Muskelljaat cat visited us at the boma one evening. One hears lions roaring in the evening and feels part of nature. Very quiet, private place. The reserve is quite remote, but safe. Only make provision for light yourself during load shedding, LED lights are not provided and the water supply is low during load shedding. The owner did bring us a small duster when there was a longer power outage in the area. Orpenhek (Kruger) is just under an hour's drive from Bona Ntaba and a great day trip. We also enjoyed the pool, everything was neat and clean. There is a rustic bush bar / restaurant at the lodge next to Bona Ntaba, they do not offer a large menu, but the options are sufficient if you are not too picky or want to drive into Hoedspruit.

Thank you for staying with us. Wildlife sightings are affected by the weather. This season there is ample food and water everywhere so wildlife is often deep in the bush. Guests staying at other times will have a different experience and will likely see more wildlife around their tree house, including kudu, waterbuck, giraffe, and buffalo.

Absoluut wonderlike ervaring.

Die stilte saam met die geluide van die natuur het alles oorheers. Dit het tot 'n onvergeetlike lekker ruskans gelei. Die eenheid was perfek en die afgesonderde lapa en kombuisarea was uniek en uiters prakties. Die oggendsonopkomste en die aande se sonsondergang was pragtig. Ons siele het behoorlik afgeskaal en gerus. Ons beveel Bona Ntaba baie sterk aan vir die wat regtig wil rus. Daarby was Gillian uiters behulpsaam in alle opsigte.

Afgesien van 'n paar goed wat gepla het, regtig baie aangenaam.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Al wat gepla het is dat ons geensins ingelig is dat ons nie met ons eie voertuig mag ry om wild te besigtig nie en wildsritte moet gebruik asook dat daar toegangstye by die ingangshek is. Dit was nogal ongerieflik en baie misleidend.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Apart from a few things that bothered, really very pleasant.

We had a very nice stay. All that bothered us was that we were not informed in any way that we are not allowed to drive our own vehicle to view wildlife and have to use game drives as well as that there are entry times at the entrance gate. It was quite inconvenient and very misleading.

Our gate area has guards residents at all times. Guards are on duty to open the gate from 04:00 until 21:00. After 21:00 guests will pay an R150 overtime fee for them to open. Your R100 pass when you first arrive will allow you to go in and out throughout your stay.

We regret that we can not allow guests to drive themselves on our reserve: the Guernsey Conservancy is a collection of lodges and private owners and we must limit and monitor cars on all properties for security reasons, like poachers, etc. Many owners do not grant traversing rights even to our own game-drive vehicles. This is their right.

Heerlike uitrus en was gelukkig dat daar geen ander mense ook daar was nie. Stilte was lieflik en privaat.

Dis net jammer dat ons nie mag rondry het en diere kon kyk a.g.v die reservaat nie - jy moet 'n safari bespreek, het bitter min diere gesien.

Very pleasant with beautiful views. Amazing facilities.

The road into the location does require either a vehicle with average ground clearance, so not a sports car. The staff were very friendly. We were slightly alarmed when warned of leopards in the area since we were walking between our cabin and the kitchen/pool. Inconvenience caused by the fact that the main gates close at 18:00 every night so no chance of a nice dinner out or evening activities.

We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and plan to return. I wish to reassure you that our lodge and reserve is secure: we have a control gate with guards on duty 24 hours, walking security patrols, and limited numbers of staff and visitors coming in. It may feel remote, but the big 5 reserve on 2 sides of us also adds to our security and Protrack patrols day and night and can easily see if anything is amiss at our lodge. Our neighbors are all connected and will quickly respond to anything alarming or suspicious. Please be assured we make every effort to keep our lodge and reserve secure

It was a wonderful weekend with our children!

Very relaxing, for a peaceful getaway I can recommend it. The fan in Impala may just need to be replaced. He doesn't work very well. And provision for load shedding is not good. A few gas lamps/solar lights and maybe a gas stove would be a good idea.

Rus en vrede vir die siel.

Ek het in 'n boomhuis met sy eie ten volle toegeruste kombuis gebly. Kwaliteit linne en elektriese kombers was so welkom in die hartjie van die winter. Lekker groot hoekbad met genoeg warm water om 'n heerlike, lang, warm bad te neem. Die stilte was wonderlik. Ek het elke aand en oggend die leeus hoor brul. Ek was dankbaar vir 'n e-pos van die instansie wat my gehelp het om alles saam te bring wat ek nodig sou hê aangesien daar geen winkels naby is nie.

I stayed in a treehouse with its own fully equipped kitchen. Quality linen and electric blanket were so welcome in the heart of winter. Nice big corner bath with enough hot water to take a nice, long, hot bath. The silence was wonderful. I heard the lions roar every night and morning. I was grateful for an email from the establishment that helped me bring everything I would need since there are no shops nearby.

Baie relaxing, rustig en stil.

Definitief 'n móét as die stadslewe te veel raak vir 'n mens. Ons het 2 nagte in die Zebra boomhuis gebly, vir die volgende keer gaan ons die Kudu boomhuis 'n bietjie verken. Die somerhitte was nogal oorweldig, maar daar is darem 'n heerlike swembadjie om in te ontspan en 'n glasie te klink, als terwyl mens die diere so nou en dan sien waterdrink. In die nag het ons redelik baie wild om die boomhuis beleef en verlangs ander diere gehoor terwyl ons om die vuurtjie gesit en kuier het. Dit was regtig baie lekker, ons sal definitief weer gaan.

Definitely a must if city life gets too much for a person. We stayed 2 nights in the Zebra tree house, for the next time we will explore the Kudu tree house a bit. The summer heat was quite overwhelming, but at least there is a lovely swimming pool to relax in and have a glass of water, even while you see the animals drinking water every now and then. At night we saw quite a lot of wildlife around the treehouse and heard other animals while we sat around the fire and visited. It was really very nice, we will definitely go again.

In 'n mate teleurgesteld.

Die verblyf was baie lekker en die eenheid (Zebra) en kombuis was skoon. Daar was egter 'n baie slegte reuk in die kombuis wat soos die septiese tenk geruik het, alhoewel dit nie van die wasbak uitlaat pype gekom het nie. Die eenheid is op hierdie stadium nog veilig om in te bly, maar die eienaar sal binnekort na die eenheid moet kyk om te verhoed dat dit omval. Die eenheid is tussen 500 mm en 750 mm skuins. Ons het ook snags voertuie gehad wat rondry wat mens onveilig laat voel.

Somewhat disappointed.

The stay was very nice and the unit (Zebra) and kitchen were clean. However, there was a very bad smell in the kitchen that smelled like the septic tank, although it wasn't coming from the sink drain pipes. The unit is still safe to live in at this point, but the owner will need to look at the unit soon to prevent it from falling over. The unit is between 500 mm and 750 mm slanted. We also had vehicles driving around at night which makes you feel unsafe.

Nommer een het ek laat daar gekom die aand. Hulle het gesê daar is kos en wat ook al toe ons daar kom was die eienaar so ongeskik, en nommer 2, die huise binne is vol bosluise en die eienaar is baie ongeskik so sal nie weer daar gaan nie.

Dit was glad nie lekker daar nie en die plek is so vol bosluise en die diens is swak.

Number one, I got there late at night. They said there was food and whatever when we got there the owner was so unfit, and number 2, the houses inside are full of ticks and the owner is very unfit so won't go there again.

It was not nice there at all and the place is so full of ticks and the service is poor.

Bona Ntaba Tree House Lodge 's response

I'm sorry to hear about your bad experience.
It is to our understanding that you were meant to stay at the lodge next to ours, which is a full-service lodge. Our lodge is self-catering and is advertised as such.

Amazing tree house lodge.

We had an amazing stay at the Bona Ntaba Tree House Lodge! It's great to be in the Greater Kruger, we had three giraffes hanging around at our lodge when we woke up! The outdoor shower is awesome as well. The pool is very nice as well, the drinking pool in front was quite popular with animals during our stay. We really loved the lodge and would definitely recommend it!

Asemrowend.

Die rit op die grondpad Bona Ntaba toe was bietjie krapperig, maar hou ingedagte ek het met 'n sportmotor soontoe gery. Daar gekom is ek deur die eienaar by die lodge verwelkom en het hy ons sommer onmiddellik laat tuis voel. Hy het ons voorgestel aan die lodge se skoonmaker en daarna het hy ons baie inligting gegee oor wat om als te doen in die omgewing. Op sy ander lodge het hy 2 wit leeus en jy kan dan 'n bespreking maak om saam met hom en die 3 en half jarige leeus te gaan stap. As jy 'n bucket list wil maak, sit dit op as jou eerste of laaste, maar dit moet julle beslis doen. Die boomhuise is super skoon en hoog in die boomtoppe gebou. Wat 'n asemrowende uitsig. Die buitelig stort was vir my en die kinders iets besonders. Pragtige natuurskoon. Ons was in die winter daar en sal weer in die winter gaan. Baie wild wat 'n draai kom maak by die swembad. Ons was die enigste gaste by Bona Ntaba vir die tyd van die jaar. So na aan ons Hemelse skepper se natuurskoon sal jy nie weer kry nie. Daar is so baie besigtigingsplekke in 'n radius van 40 km in ons ses dae kon ons nie by als uitkom nie. Om 'n paar te noem is die Mohololo Endagered Specie fasiliteit wat nog 'n moet is vir ieder en elk. Die bootvaart op die Blyderivier Canyon. Besoek aan Hoedspruit se endagered spesie fasiliteit. Daar ry jy in oop voertuie tussen wilde diere wat erg bedreig is rond. Na so 'n dag se uitstappie is dit regtig 'n uitsiens om weer by die lodge aan te kom. Temperatuur deur die dag was 'n lekker 24 tot 28 grade en snags het dit gedaal tot so 14 grade. Saans as die houtvuur so begin gesels en die dag stilraak en jy sit op die houtdek, verloor jy jouself in die asemrowende mooi plek en wil jy nie terug huis toe nie. Die prag swembad op die dek het selfs in die winter gemaak dat ons kan afkoel en kyk hoe die kameelperde en wildediere kom water drink by die watergat. Die lodge en die huise word daagliks skoongemaak, asook jou boma. Die huishoudster is baie deeglik in haar doel om als netjies en skoon te hou. Die slegste gedeelte van Bona Ntaba was om weer terug te kom huis toe. Maar verder verdien Bona Ntaba al wat 'n ster is wat mens kan kry. Sal ek weer gaan? Ja, beslis, maar dié keer langer en meer voorbereid. Onthou om vuurmaakhout in Hoedspruit te kry, asook als wat jy gaan benodig om te eet en te drink. Daar is geen winkels nader as 25 km nie. Maar as jy voorbereid kom sal jy nie wil weg tot jou laaste dag aangebreek het nie. En dan die hoogtepunt: op ons vertrekdag het ons vir Jessica, die seekoei, gaan kuier anderkant Hoedspruit. As jy dit nie op jou bucket list het nie, sit dit dan ook op. Ons her haar met die hand gevoer. Die kinders kon haar op haar snoet soen en met hulle kaalvoete op haar tug sit. Wat 'n belewenis. Die eienaar van Bona Ntaba het hier vir ons besoekers 'n stukkie paradys geskep wat 'n wegbreek uit die stad 'n moet maak. So na aan my skepper se skeppings van natuurskoon was ek nog nooit. Julle verdien net die beste resensie van 'n lodge so mooi, woorde kan nie als beskryf nie. Dis 'n moet-sien en moet-bly ervaring. Ek is volgende winter weer terug.

Breathtaking.

The drive on the dirt road to Bona Ntaba was a bit bumpy, but bear in mind I drove there in a sports car. When I got there, I was welcomed to the lodge by the owner and he made us feel at home immediately. He introduced us to the lodge's cleaner and then he gave us a lot of information about what to do in the area. At his other lodge he has 2 white lions and you can then make a reservation to go for a walk with him and the 3 and a half year old lions. If you want to make a bucket list, put it as your first or last, but you should definitely do it. The treehouses are super clean and built high up in the treetops. What a breathtaking view. The outdoor shower was something special for me and the children. Beautiful scenery. We were there in the winter and will go again in the winter. Lots of wildlife visiting the pool. We were the only guests at Bona Ntaba for the time of year. You will not get so close to our Heavenly creator's natural beauty. There are so many sightseeing spots in a radius of 40 km in our six days we couldn't get to all. To name a few is the Mohololo Endangered Species facility which is another must for one and all. The boat cruise on the Blyde River Canyon. Visit to Hoedspruit's endangered species facility. There you drive around in open vehicles among wild animals that are severely endangered. After such a day's excursion, it is really something to look forward to arriving at the lodge again. Temperature during the day was a nice 24 to 28 degrees and at night it dropped to about 14 degrees. In the evening when the wood fire starts to chatter like that and the day stops and you sit on the wooden deck, you lose yourself in the breathtakingly beautiful place and you don't want to go back home. The beautiful swimming pool on the deck even in winter allowed us to cool off and watch the giraffes and wild animals come to drink water at the water hole. The lodge and the houses are cleaned daily, as well as your boma. The housekeeper is very thorough in her aim to keep everything neat and clean. The worst part of Bona Ntaba was coming back home. But beyond that, Bona Ntaba deserves all that a star can get. Would I go again? Yes, definitely, but this time longer and more prepared. Remember to get firewood in Hoedspruit, as well as everything you will need to eat and drink. There are no shops closer than 25 km. But if you come prepared you won't want to leave until your last day has arrived. And then the highlight: on our departure day we went to visit Jessica, the manatee, on the other side of Hoedspruit. If you don't have it on your bucket list, put it on that too. We hand fed her again. The children could kiss her on her nose and sit on her with their bare feet. What an experience. The owner of Bona Ntaba has created here for our visitors a piece of paradise that makes a break from the city a must. I have never been so close to my creator's creations of natural beauty. You deserve only the best review of a lodge so beautiful, words cannot describe it. It's a must-see and must-stay experience. I will be back again next winter.

Pragtige plek.

Baie mooi, baie netjies, jammer dat nabygeleë lodges soveel geraas deur die aand maak (Timbavati kant), selfs leeus het later moed opgegee.

Very beautiful, very neat, pity that nearby lodges make so much noise throughout the evening (Timbavati side), even lions gave up later.

Gerieflik naby NKW.

Bona Ntaba is gerieflik naby die NKW om te dien as 'n oorslaapplek voor jou besoek aan die Wildtuin. Die ontvangs was vriendelik en professioneel. Die boomhuis is opwindend, maklik bereikbaar en is netjies toegerus met al die nodigste. Was nie gek daaroor dat die braaiplek, yskaste en vrieskaste gemeenskaplik gedeel moet word nie. Sou graag wou sien dat elke boomhuis sy eie "bar fridge" in die boomhuis en braaier langs die boomhuis, kon gehad het. Verstaan egter die moontlike risiko van 'n brandgevaar.

Conveniently near NKW.

Bona Ntaba is conveniently close to the NKW to serve as an overnight stop before your visit to the Wildlife Park. The reception was friendly and professional. The treehouse is exciting, easily accessible and neatly equipped with all the essentials. Wasn't crazy about the braai place, fridges and freezers having to be shared communally. Would have liked to see that each tree house could have had its own "bar fridge" in the tree house and braai next to the tree house. However, understand the potential risk of a fire hazard.

Wat 'n belewenis! Mooiste sonsondergang en heerlik gebly in die boomhuis!

Ontvangs was vriendelik en het ons laat welkom voel. Huisie binne baie goed ingerig en ons het heerlik op die stoep gesit en die sonsondergang geniet. Sal dit vir enige iemand aanbeveel!

Ontspannend.

Was baie lekker gewees weg van die stad se geraas, baie stil wat 'n mens soek in die bos, niks TV nie wat die regte ding is. Kliëntediens was goed gewees, het ons laat tuis voel, sal weer daar gaan kuier.

Die uitsig is fantasies en dis so rustige atmosfeer.

Dis regtig baie lekker en ek sal beslis weer teruggaan ek dink hul kan dalk net 'n "bar fridge" in elke houthuis sit vir melk en iets te drinke. Jy wil nie elke keer kombuis toe stap vir drinkgoed nie.

It is very nice and I will definitely go back, I think they can put a bar fridge in each house for milk and something to drink. You don't want to walk to the kitchen every time you want to drink something.

Ongelooflike rustige vakansie en die perfekte wegbreek.

Wat 'n asemrowende ondervinding. Rustigheid van die bos en die diere om die kamp was ongelooflik. Absoluut 'n vakansie wat ek nie sal vergeet nie. Ons sal vir seker terug wees!
