Lekker!

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Die plek was baie skoon en netjies. Die eienaar en werkers was baie vriendelik. Dit was lekker om in en om die swembad te kuier.

Die kuier was gemaklik en gerieflik, met vriendelike en hulpvaardige personeel.

Die kamer sowel as die perseel is skoon en netjies. Die diens by Camp Jonathan was goed en die personeel vriendelik, enige vrae wat ons gehad het, is vriendelik beantwoord en ons het goeie advies ontvang. Die kombuis is skoon en maklik om te gebruik en het 'n gesellige atmosfeer.

Lekker, rustig, netjies.

Dis lekker om nie te hoef skottelgoed was nie vir 'n Ma wat elke dag moet kosmaak is dit 'n plus punt. Die mense doen dit vir jou. Kombuis is goed toegerus en daar is plek vir almal om te kan kosmaak soos jy moet. Jy kan regtig net rus en die tyd saam jou mense geniet. Ten spyte van die beurtkrag het die bestuur als in hulle vermoë gedoen om dit vir ons gemaklik en lekker te maak. Ons sal beslis dit weer doen.

Nice, quiet, neat.

It's nice not to have to wash dishes for a mother who has to cook every day, it's a plus point. The people do it for you. Kitchen is well equipped and there is room for everyone to be able to cook as you should. You can really just rest and enjoy the time with your people. Despite the load shedding, the management did everything in their power to make it comfortable and enjoyable for us. We will definitely do it again.

Rustig, goed geleë en meer vir duikers of vissermanne bedoel.

Alles was in plek met baie parkeerplek, klomp braaiplekke en 2 groot kuier- en kosmaakareas. Alles het gewerk. Die storte was skoon, behalwe dat die een stort lek en die ander stortkop bly skuif (dis bietjie oud). Die swembad is bietjie groen op die oomblik. Met aankoms het die man in die tuin my gehelp en alles mooi verduidelik. Hy was baie behulpsaam met alles en het alles gedoen - van tuinwerk tot admin en geld in die kantoor beheer. Ek sal weer by die kamp bly.

Quiet, well located and intended more for divers or fishermen.

Everything was in place with plenty of parking, plenty of braai spots and 2 large meeting and cooking areas. Everything worked. The showers were clean, except that one shower leaked and the other shower head kept moving (it's a bit old). The pool is a bit green at the moment. Upon arrival, the man in the garden helped me and explained everything nicely. He was very helpful with everything and did everything - from gardening to admin and managing money in the office. I would stay at the camp again.

This was our second stay at Camp Jonathan and we were yet again amazed at the customer centric approach of all the members in their team - from the owners to the staff. Nothing is a problem and everything is done with a smile. We were a big group of family and friends, from old to young, and everyone has categorically stated that they will return.

Rustig en gemaklik.

Camp Jonathan was die perfekte plek vir ons. Die badkamers was skoon en netjies, in die kombuis was daar nie 'n tekort nie. Dit was rustig en ontspannend en nie te ver van die see af nie. Ons sal definitief weer gaan.

Really nice for a family budget holiday. If you are not one for camping, but on a budget with kids, this is a lovely clean option and gives you a comfortable place to return to after your day of exploring Sodwana bay.

Die plek is puik en die werkers doen meer as 100%. Hulle het gehelp met alles van braaiplek skuif tot 'n veilige plek vir vol gelaaide oop bakkie. Hulle is die beste.

Al het ons 9 mense slegs 1 aand oorgeslaap, het almal van ontvangs tot elke werker wat ons gehelp het. meer as 100% gegee. Hulle het braaiers rondgeskuif soos ons wou hê, vuur gemaak en 'n veilige plek vir 1 oop bakkie vol gelaai gekry vir die nag. Slaapplek was puik en 'n groot yskas in elke plek. Toilette en ablusie skoon en netjies. Ons kon geen fout vind. Wel gedaan, Camp Jonathan.

The place is great and the workers do more than 100%. They helped with everything from moving a barbecue area to a safe place for a fully loaded open bakkie. They are the best.

Even though we 9 people only stayed 1 night, everyone from reception to every worker helped us. given more than 100%. They moved braai's around as we wanted, made a fire and found a safe place for 1 open van fully loaded for the night. Sleeping was great and a big fridge in every place. Toilets and ablution clean and tidy. We couldn't find any fault. Well done, Camp Jonathan.

Lekker skoon met aangename gaste.

Indien jy verstaan dat dit nie luukse wooneenhede met TV ens. is nie sal jy dit geniet. Dit is basies kampering maar met sagte beddens en baksteenmure. Die kombuis was altyd skoon met al die nodige items beskikbaar. Die ablusieblokke was ook altyd skoon. Indien jy ingaan om fout te soek sal jy boeke kan skryf.

If you understand that these are not luxury residential units with TV etc. is not you will enjoy it. It's basically camping but with soft beds and brick walls. The kitchen was always clean with all the necessary items available. The ablution pads were also always clean. If you go in to find fault you will be able to write books.

Baie vriendelike en behulpsame diens.

Aangesien dit die eerste keer was wat ek Sodwanabaai besoek het was ek nie bewus van die feit dat daar elke dag vir jou en jou kar betaal moet word om by die strand te kan uitkom nie. Ek het my teleurstelling aan die eienares van Camp Jonathan gekommunikeer en sy was baie behulpsaam en het ingestem om my geld vir my terug te gee sodat ek toe eerder in St. Lucia kon gaan bly. Let ook net dat Google Maps hierdie spesifieke ligging optel as "Jonathan Camp", en volg eerder die aanwysings wat sy stuur om 'n rowwe grondpad deur Jozini te vermy.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Very friendly and helpful service.

As it was the first time I visited Sodwana Bay I was not aware of the fact that you and your car have to be paid every day to get to the beach. I communicated my disappointment to the owner of Camp Jonathan and she was very helpful and agreed to give me my money back so that I could then stay in St. Lucia could go and stay. Also, just note that Google Maps picks up this particular location as "Jonathan Camp", and instead follow the directions she sends to avoid a rough dirt road through Jozini.

Nice

Camp Jonathan is a very pleasant place! The only thing that counts against them is that there is no agreement between them and the nature reserve. So one pays daily to enter the beach! Other than that, it's a nice little place.

Meer geskik vir hengelaars en duikers as vir gesinne.

Die waarde vir geld vir 'n gesin met twee klein kinders is nie in lyn met wat mens kry nie. Die fasiliteite is baie oulik, maar is egter meer geskik vir hengelaars en duikers - dit word nogal duur as jy volprys betaal vir die klein kinders. Daar is nie beddegoed nie.

More suitable for anglers and divers than for families.

The value for money for a family with two small children is not in line with what one gets. The facilities are very nice, but are more suited to anglers and divers - it gets quite expensive when you pay full price for the little ones. There is no bedding.
