Good location, nice rest.
The owners went out of their way to help us. From start to finish we were treated well. They waited for us until we arrived and even asked us if we were still safe on the road. My flight was a bit late and they still helped us check in even though it was only 11 o'clock at night. We will definitely return at a later stage to enjoy the whole site.

Heidi and her helpers went out of their way to make it pleasant for us. Travelers should definitely not expect luxurious accommodation, it is a Bundu lodge after all. But it's on a nice farm and we were able to rest well.

The best way to really deeply relax and get back to yourself.
The owners, Duane and Chené, were incredibly hospitable and always available. It was wonderfully peaceful along the Sand River with its lush vegetation and lively bird life and sounds. The sheep and chickens on our front porch, as well as the lush green lawns, contributed to wonderful memories of our escape from the busy city life! Can highly recommend it!

Nice quiet, clean and tidy.
I can't complain about the service or cleanliness. It was winter outside, but we slept nice and warm. The only thing was that there was no closet to unpack clothes in. Luckily it was only for 3 days and not a big problem. What did catch me was the fact that there was no stove or pots and pans. Self catering means to me that you can make your own food. Maybe I didn't read it so just draw people's attention to it or put accessories in the chalet to be able to use in the microwave.

This is really just an overnight stop. In the kitchen there is only crockery and cutlery, in other words no braai bowls, pots, salad bowls or any kitchen utensils. The room was wonderfully warm though, we couldn't believe how white frosty the world was outside because we didn't get cold at all.

Very nice and peaceful place to visit for the night.
We often visit different places to see what there is to see. Unfortunately, there is nothing here to occupy you. The nature is fantastic to sit and watch the wildlife is only excitement for the day. Rooms are nicely furnished but unfortunately we didn't know how to bring our own crockery etc. not to bring with you as it is a self-catering unit. Fortunately, we got at least on inquiry. I will make the campsites a little more away from the rest of the houses so that they are far away from the houses and even in the woods, it will be pleasant to stand there with a tent. The possibility of installing power there for the campers and even a shower and toilet is so great. Great place to visit, but not for a long period of time. We were there for a long weekend keeping ourselves busy, but offering something for the visitors. Staff had been extremely nice and helpful.

Beste Estelle
Vreeslik dankie vir jou terugvoering, ons neem elke voorstel te harte om Bundu 'n aangename ervaring vir al ons kliente te maak.
Ons is besig met 'n paar opgraderings ten opsigte van die akkommodasie. Verder in die beplanning is daar 'n distillery en restaurant wat ons hoop om teen 2020 oop te maak.
Ons hoop om julle weer in die toekoms te sien.

The picture of the hall can be misleading, because the accommodation itself does not look like that. But otherwise, neat and clean, no complaints. Would like the GPS coordinates to appear clearly on the web page.

Very disappointed.
We had a nice stay, but the woman did not know about our arrival. The woman who received us was very nice and helpful. The showers, cups and floors were very dirty. Bed is terribly soft. The faucets in the kitchen leak a lot of water and the whole room smells of mold. Got it for cheaper because the single units were no longer available, but I certainly wouldn't pay R300 per person per night for such a self-catering unit. Bundu is a nice place with a lot of potential, but they will have to work hard if they want to attract or retain customers.

Baie dankie vir jou terugvoering.
Ons vra groot omverskoning vir die ongerief wat julle ervaar het.
Die netheid en skoonheid van die kamers sal beslis hersien word.
Ons het die akkommodasie in Julie 2019 oorgeneem en is besig om te kyk waar ons verbeteringe kan aanrbing, dus waardeer ons julle terugvoering verskriklik baie.
Ons hoop om eendag vir ons klante net die beste ervaring te bied.
Baie dankie

Bundu River Lodge 's response
Ek weet nie na watter foto word verwys nie, maar nêrens sê ons dit is aparte eenhede nie, behalwe die rondawels. Ons sê ook nerens dit is 'n vol toegeruste kombuis nie, mense se verwagtinge verskil van wat in 'n kombuis moet wees, ons voorsien net die basiese. Ek is jammer oor die mense wat reg voor hulle kamer gekuier het, dit is nie aanvaarbaar nie en is nie opgebring met ons personeel nie, dit sal hanteer word.

Not what we expected.
There are a few contractors who work on the road staying in the camp. They walk around there and swear a lot. It might be acceptable to them, but certainly not to me. One does not swear so especially in front of ladies. Furthermore, we found out with a shock that there had been no bedding on the beds, only a mattress cover. We then had to go buy blankets and pillows in Ventersburg.
