Fantastiese plekkie. 'n Tuiste met hartsmense. Baie dankie Chris en Carlien.

Fantastiese eienaars. Hartsmense. Chris en Carlien het soveel moeite gedoen vir ons. Die eenheid is topgehalte gewees en lekker kleurvol. Regte verkleurmannetjie. Alles wat jy nodig het tot jou gerief. 'n Tuiste weg van jou huis.

Cleanness and peaceful.

I have been to Dinokeng many times. I could just pass the Chameleon Bush Lodge; little did I know that it is a hidden gem I could recommend to anyone who would like to take a break from the rush of the city and wants a peaceful place to rest.

Chameleon Bush Lodge 's response

Good afternoon Charmaine - thank you! And thank you for understanding that being in nature and the bush is supposed to be quiet and peaceful....
We refer to it as tranquility.
Guests like you will always be welcomed back!
Kind regards

Pragtige eenheid, mooi uitsig vanaf 1ste vloer en jy voel so na aan die natuur. Die wild wat ons kon sien op die terrein was 'n groot bonus en voorreg vir ons. Eenhede baie goed ingerig, linne is van top gehalte. Beveel hulle graag aan en dit sal ons huis wees as ons weer Dinokeng toe kom.

A lovely restful night spent at Chameleon Bush Lodge - with everything we needed available.

We loved our stay at Chameleon Bush Lodge. The arrival process was well explained via WhatsApp before we got there. The response to any queries we had on arrival was swiftly dealt with, and the hosts are so helpful and make you feel as if you are their only guests! The chalets are very well equipped, with everything you need. Beds are very comfortable and the air conditioning was lovely on a hot day. The staff were all lovely and also very helpful. One of our party left her Apple watch behind in the chalet. It was reported to the staff, who immediately contacted us - and we were able to go back and get it. We were so grateful. The only negative was that we could not stay longer! We will plan better for next time, and stay for a few nights. You have a beautiful lodge, and we cannot wait to come again. Thank you, hosts, and the Chameleon staff.

Fantasties, ontspanne en pragtig.

Ons verblyf was absoluut fantasties gewees. Die eenheid was mooi en skoon, en die finishing touches was amazing. Daar is meer as genoeg borde ens., en ons kon baie lekker braai en kuier. Die swembad was pragtig skoon, en ons het in die swembad gesit en gekuier terwyl ons wild by die watergat langs die swembad gesien het wat kom water drink. Tien kameelperde het kom kuier.

We only stayed 1 night, but could easily have stayed longer if our schedule allowed it. The unit was clean, well kitted out, very spacious and had a homely feel to it. The only complaint I have is that the cords to some appliances were worn and wires exposed, which is a hazard and should be rectified.

Heerlik rustig in die bos saam met die diere en in die vars lug.

Ons het die verblyf in nommer 5 baie geniet. Die kamer is ruim en netjies. Die eenheid is teen die draad en die kameelperde het ons vroeg Saterdagoggend kom groet. Die stoepie met die ingeboude braai is 'n wenner. Ons het die stilte en diere geniet. Die wildrit by die lodge was onvergeetlik. Ons kan Chameleon Bush Lodge vir almal aanbeveel. Slegs drie dinge waaraan julle dalk kan aandag gee, en dis 'n vergiet, 'n broodrooster en die yskas wat lek en nie behoorlik vries nie. Vir ons kort verblyf was dit nie 'n krisis nie, maar vir iemand wat bederfbare goed inpak vir 'n week, kan 'n stukkende yskas 'n probleem wees.

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

Wonderfully peaceful in the forest with the animals and in the fresh air.

We really enjoyed the stay in number 5. The room is spacious and tidy. The unit is up to the wire and the giraffes came to greet us early Saturday morning. The stoepie with the built-in braai is a winner. We enjoyed the silence and animals. The game drive at the lodge was unforgettable. We can recommend Chameleon Bush Lodge to everyone. Only three things you might pay attention to, and that's a colander, a toaster and the fridge that leaks and doesn't freeze properly. For our short stay it wasn't a crisis, but for someone packing perishables for a week, a broken fridge can be a problem.

Die eenheid het 'n buitestort maar dit was nog te koud vir ons om dit te wou gebruik. Daar was 'n klein enkelbed in die eenheid vir ons gesit vir ons 3 jarige wat dinge so gerieflik maak. Daar is 'n baie netjiese ingeboude braai asook 'n klein boma area waar jy kan vuurmaak en sit. Ek sal weer Chameleon Bush Lodge toe kom vir 'n naweekwegbreek.

Very neat, big and spacious.

The unit we stayed in was immaculately clean with a large bathroom and kitchen with all the necessities for a self-catering break. The unit has an outside shower but it was still too cold for us to use it. There was a small single bed put in the unit for us for our 3 year old which makes things so convenient. There is a very neat built-in braai as well as a small boma area where you can make a fire and sit. I will come again to Chameleon Bush Lodge for a weekend break.

Rustigheid en vrede vanself. Die Neushoringvoëls is fantasties en die veld is volop met Rooiborslaksmanne.

Ons kuier by Chameleon Lodge was die rustigheid en vrede vanself. Die buurlodge het ons geakkommodeer op 'n wildrit en dit was fenominaal. Die beddens is ongelooflik gemaklik, plek is netjies en die buitestort 'n welkome toevoeging tot enige akkommodasie. Eenheid 5 is vir my spesiaal oor dit meer afgesonderd is en perfek is vir mense wat meer privaatheid soek.

Tranquility and peace by itself. The Hornbills are fantastic and the field is full of Red-breasted Larks.

Our visit at Chameleon Lodge was the tranquility and peace of itself. The neighboring lodge accommodated us on a game drive and it was phenomenal. The beds are incredibly comfortable, the place is tidy and the outdoor shower a welcome addition to any accommodation. Unit 5 is special to me because it is more secluded and perfect for people looking for more privacy.

My husband and I loved our stay. The unit is so clean and very comfortable. It has everything you need for a wonderful time away. The doors and windows open up to the view outside so you really feel like you are in the bush. The watering hole in front of the veranda gives a full view of animal and bird life. It is very safe and secure but you don't feel like you are locked up. I loved the outdoor shower. Carlien keeps you updated on the loadshedding and unexpected outages so you can plan your day. The staff are friendly and very helpful. We will definitely be back.

Mooi, ontspanne en gesellige omgewing.

Ons het baie onvoorbereid opgedaag. Julle hulpvaardige diens het ons vinnig na 'n nabygeleë basiese winkel verwys. My 12-jarige amper-tienerseun kon lekker vir ons braai en 'n groot bomavuur bou. Dit was 'n aangename kuier en die gaste om ons was almal vriendelik en bedagsaam. Dit is gemaklik naby aan Camp Discovery waar die ons dogter saam met die skool op 'n nebalkamp was. Om heen en weer te ry, was vinnig en maklik. Die wagters by die hekke uit die Dinokengreservaat was vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons het gemaklik geslaap en heerlik gekuier en 'n paar plekke om ons verken en ook bietjie wild gesien. Heerlik pizza geëet by 'n buurlodge wat ook deur julle aanbeveel is. Ons sal definitief weer van julle verblyf gebruik maak. Baie dankie vir die voorreg om by julle te kon kuier.

Nice, relaxed and cozy environment.

We arrived very unprepared. Your helpful service quickly directed us to a nearby basic store. My 12-year-old almost-teenage son had a great time barbecuing us and building a big bonfire. It was a pleasant visit and the guests around us were all friendly and considerate. It is conveniently close to Camp Discovery where our daughter was on a nebal camp with the school. Driving back and forth was quick and easy. The guards at the gates from the Dinokeng reserve were friendly and helpful. We slept comfortably and had a great time and explored a few places around us and also saw some wildlife. Had delicious pizza at a neighboring lodge that was also recommended by you. We will definitely use your accommodation again. Thank you very much for the privilege of being able to visit you.

Brilliant chalets, excellent host.

The setting is superbly positioned so you can see lots of wildlife coming to the closeby waterhole. The chalets are superbly furnished with quality pots, pans crockery, etc. Everything is higher-end, no cheap skate stuff. Five multi-plug points in the bedroom alone and similar in the kitchen, way more than I've seen before and extremely welcome. Two showers outside was really cool.

Great relaxing stay. Would have liked a bit more of a sitting area, but discovered that there are larger units that I will look at next time. WiFi would have been nice.

Chameleon Bush Lodge 's response

Hello Brenda - thank you for your positive review. We appreciate feedback from guests. Yes, the Water Tower chalets are open-plan and do not have separate living rooms. The bigger Family Chalets have tables and chairs in their kitchens, plus on their spacious patios. The Executive Chalet 16/17 has an open-plan kitchen, dining room, and living room, as well as a patio. As for WiFi, we have free WiFi at the Clubhouse, but not in each chalet. In the General Info that we attach to emails sent to guests, most questions usually asked by 'new' guests are answered. This includes the WiFi access password, game drives, restaurants, the self-drive route, Conservation Fee, etc. But we hope we will welcome you at Chameleon Bush Lodge again, sometime in the future. Kind regards, Carlien Pieterse

Relaxing, peaceful and a comfortable stay.

Surroundings are beautiful and well-kept. Excellent location inside Dinokeng. Clean and comfortable unit. Only negative is that the shower heads could do with an upgrade. The outside one sprays water over the side of the shower and the inside one has a very small width where the water comes out.

Chameleon Bush Lodge 's response

Hello Barbara
Thank you for your comments. We appreciate the compliments and the suggestions. If you informed our staff on-site, we could have rectified the problems with the shower heads immediately.
However, we will do the necessary and check all shower heads.

'n Rustige wegbreek van die stadslewe en sal dit beslis aanbeveel!

Wat 'n wonderlike vakansie! Ons het 4 nagte spandeer by Chameleon Bush Lodge en dit was absoluut elke sent werd! Ons het in Chalet 10 (blou kamer) geslaap. Mens kan die natuur ervaar in die buitestort en die badkamer binne was goed toegerus en netjies. Die groot bed was netjies, skoon en uiters gemaklik! Ons was mal oor die groot TV in die kamer en die kombuis was baie goed ingerig met als wat mens nodig kan hê. Ons het goed gebruik gemaak van die ingeboude braai op die stoep, en die uitsig van die stoep is pragtig! Ons het kameelperde, blouwildebeeste, rooibokke en koedoes amper reg voor ons stoep sien verbyloop. Die Lodge is baie veilig, omring met elektriese heinings. Die eienaars was baie hartlik en vriendelik en die inklok en uitlok proses was baie vinnig en het vlot verloop. Ons was spyt om huis toe te gaan en sal definitief weer terugkeer!

We loved the large TV in the room and the kitchen was very well equipped with everything you could need. We made good use of the built-in braai on the stoep, and the view from the stoep is beautiful! We saw giraffes, blue wildebeest, impalas and kudus walking past almost right in front of our porch. The Lodge is very secure, surrounded by electric fences. The owners were very warm and friendly and the check-in and check-out process was very quick and went smoothly. We were sorry to go home and will definitely return!

We loved the privacy and the close-up view of animals right outside the boundary fence.

The chalets are beautiful and offer al the amenities one could need, including a very well-equipped kitchen. There was both a built-in and a free-standing braai, with ample firewood and firelighters supplied. On arrival the Friday afternoon, we witnessed impala and wildebeest nearby. The Saturday night, six giraffes chose the spot in front of the chalets to rest for a while, a truly wonderful sight.

Pleasurable, rustig, fantasties en te kort! Lekker gelag. Next time bring our kids and their kids too.

We had the pleasure of meeting the owners - super, humble and sincere family. The units we had were perfect (8,9,10) in size, fully equipped and with enough space from each other to enjoy complete privacy but close enough to one another to share a wonderful weekend. We all agreed that 2 nights is too short and plan a 3-night trip soon.

Ons het heerlik gekuier en uitgerus. Chameleon Bush Lodge het in al ons behoeftes voorsien. Pynlik netjies met vriendelike diens van die eienaar. Dit is beslis ons nuwe naweekwegbreekplekkie.

Ons was bederf met wild wat gereeld by die watergat kom drink het. Die sjampanje in die yskas was 'n onverwagte bederf - baie dankie.

Naweek het baie lekker en rustig begin, totdat 'n groot groep mense daar ingevaar het.

Hierdie groep het die hele tuin en swembadgedeelte oorgeneem, en baie gedrink en lawaai. Hulle het tot laat in die aand lawaai, en Sondag eers 1:30 vertrek. So wat vir my 'n baie stil, rustige naweek moes wees, was toe 'n baie slegte ervaring.

Weekend started very nice and quiet, until a large group of people entered there.

This group took over the whole garden and pool area, drinking a lot and making noise. They made noise until late in the evening, and didn't leave until 1:30 on Sunday. So what should have been a very quiet, peaceful weekend for me turned out to be a very bad experience.

Onvergeetlike aande, 'n ruskans vir die siel, vriendelike mense!

Ongelooflike pragtige chalets, volliut toegerus, baie proppe vir selfone en alle ander moderne toerusting. Ons chalet het uitgekyk oor 'n watergat waar 'n volstruis gesin. Ma, pa en vier kleintjies, rooibokke, koedoes en 'n eensame blouwildebees ons kom besoek het. Die eienaars Carlien en Chris is pragtige vriendelike mense wat jou sommer dadelik laat tuis voel. Ons gaan gou weer kuier.

Baie goeie diens en Carlien doen haar bes om alles reg te hê. Die eenhede is baie netjies en het alles wat jy nodig het. Enigste twee kommerpunte: Dit is naby aan die hoofpad en kan jy die motors op die pad hoor in die nag as jy wil ontspan op die stoep.

Lovely stay! The hosts were extremely friendly and pleasant! We will definitely be back!

Just recommend that the towels should be changed more often. We put the towels on the floor on the second day and the housekeeping just hung them back up. We stayed for 4 nights and used the same towel every night.

Good day to the Watsons - Thank you for your positive review about your experience at Chameleon Bush Lodge. We appreciate your comment regarding the changing of towels. And we apologise for the mishap. We are just sorry that you did not immediately communicate your request for fresh towels to the staff on duty, or to either Chris or me.

Ons het vreeslik lekker gekuier. Die eenhede het als wat 'n mens nodig het en nog meer. Die bed is heerlik gerieflik.

Van nou af een van my gunsteling akkommodasie plekke in Dinokeng!

Vir die afgelope drie jaar het ek 'n groot liefde vir Dinokeng ontwikkel en so ook al by verskeie akkommodasie verskaffers gebly. Ek moet bieg, van al die plekke waar ek nog gebly het in Dinokeng staan hierdie plek vir my kop bo water uit. Die ligging (net links van die hoof teer pad), wild wat in die aande tot by die eenheid se geëlektrifiseerde heinings kom en natuurlik die leeu wat in die afstand gebrul het. Die eenheid is ruim vir wat alles daarin is. Baie netjies. Hierdie plek sien my binnekort weer!

From now on one of my favorite accommodation places in Dinokeng!

For the past three years I have developed a great love for Dinokeng and have stayed with various accommodation providers anyway. I have to confess, of all the places I have stayed in Dinokeng, this place stands out for me. The location (just left of the main tar road), wildlife that comes up to the unit's electrified fences in the evenings and of course the lion that roared in the distance. The unit is spacious for everything in it. Very neat. This place will see me again soon!

Rustig.

Die is meer vir Dinokeng as vir Chameleon. Sou lekker wees as daar net voor die tyd ingelig is dat Dinokeng nie soos Krugerwildtuin is nie en dat selfryroetes geld kos. Dat sulke informasie dalk by Tau-hekke ens. uitgegee word. Saam inligting van lodges en al die restaurante. Dit was ons eerste keer in Dinokeng en ons nie lekker geweet hoe dinge daar werk nie. Asook selfryroetes is bietjie toegegroei met takke wat die karre krap. Of as daar groep gestig word wat as jy selfryroetepermit koop dan word jy op groep gesit en almal kan sightings op groep laat weet.

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

Restful.

It is more for Dinokeng than for Chameleon. It would be nice if it was informed just ahead of time that Dinokeng is not like Kruger National Park and that self-drive routes cost money. That such information may be at Tau gates etc. be issued. Together with information from lodges and all the restaurants. It was our first time in Dinokeng and we didn't know how things work there. Self-driving routes are also a bit overgrown with branches that scratch the cars. Or if a group is established that if you buy a self-driving route permit then you are put on a group and everyone can report sightings on the group.

Luxe, schoon, maar...

Via mobiel aan de poort contact met de eigenaar, toegangscode gekregen, die naderhand per sms werd bevestigd. Daarna eigenaar niet meer gezien of gesproken!! Toen ik naar de receptie ging om wat te vragen, niemand aanwezig. Bungalow is luxe, keuken en braai met van alles voorzien. Mooie badkamer en eenvoudige buitendouche. Erg goed groot bed. Prima airco en fan. Kranen douche lastig te stellen, omdat het geen normale kraan is maar een koperen afsluitkraan die als kraan wordt gebruikt. Ook bij de keukenaanrecht dergelijke opmerkelijke kranen. Opvallend was dat de handdoeken bij de schoonmaak niet werden vervangen! Bij de tweede schoonmaak had de werkster evenmin handdoeken bij zich. Toen wij om schone handdoeken vroegen, werden die uit een andere bungalow gehaald. Als wij niet thuis waren geweest hadden wij dus weer geen schone handdoeken gekregen. Dit past niet bij een 4 sterren lodge!

Luxurious, clean, but...

Via mobile at the gate contact with the owner, access code received, later confirmed by SMS. Owner not seen or spoken to again after that!! When I went to the reception to ask what to do, no one was there. Bungalow is luxury, kitchen and barbecue with everything provided. Nice bathroom and simple outdoor shower. Very good big bed. Excellent aircon and fan. Shower faucets are troublesome, because there is no normal faucet, but one copper shut-off faucet that is used as a faucet. Also at the kitchen counter such remarkable faucets. It was striking that the towels were not replaced during cleaning! During the second cleaning, the worker also did not have towels with her. When we asked for clean towels, they were taken from another bungalow. If we had not been at home we would not have received clean towels again. It does not fit a 4 star lodge!

Chameleon Bush Lodge 's response

Good day Rob - my Dutch is not up to speed, so I will reply in English. The copper pipes and copper taps are part of the unusual yet functional finishes used in the chalets - we did opt for out-of-the-ordinary touches! As user-friendly as ordinary taps with a mixer spout, once you start using them.
We are acutely aware that SA is basically an arid country and right now in the grip of a nationwide drought. Therefore we use our natural resources (eg water, electricity) wisely and sparingly. We do replace towels after 2 days, or upon request of a guest.
As for the cleaner taking towels from the chalet next door - that chalet was unoccupied and had clean, unused towels in its bathroom. She removed those to get your requested clean towels to you as quickly as possible, later on getting clean ones from the store room for the unoccupied chalet.
We are a self-catering Lodge, and thus do not have a 24 hr Reception. Our mobile phone numbers are listed at our entrance gate as well is in the Room Folders in each chalet.
Thank you for your positive feedback and appreciation of the quality/standard of our accommodation - we do take note of guests' comments.
We would like to welcome you back!
Kind regards

Fantastiese naweek.

Ons was so 16 mense wat my vrou se verjaardag daar gevier het. Ek dink dit is so awesome plek en Chris en sy vrou se diens is uitstekend en het uit hulle pad gegaan vir ons. Sal enige tyd net met familie daarna toe gaan. Dinokeng is weggesteekte paradys net 45km buite Pretoria. Mens hoef nie al die pad Krugerwildtuin toe te ry om die prag van die bos te sien en wild te sien nie. Olifante het laat die Vrydag middag vir ons kom kuier teen die heining van waar ons gebly het (awesome ). Dit het my vrou se 40ste gemaak. Die eenhede is baie luuks kan amper vir hulle 6 sterre gee. Weereens baie dankie vir Oom Chris en sy vrou vir die puik diens en mooi plek in die bos.

Fantastic weekend.

We were about 16 people who celebrated my wife's birthday there. I think this is such an awesome place and Chris and his wife's service is excellent and went out of their way for us. Would go there anytime just with family. Dinokeng is hidden paradise just 45km outside Pretoria. One does not have to drive all the way to Kruger National Park to see the beauty of the forest and see wildlife. Elephants came to visit us late on Friday afternoon at the fence of where we were staying (awesome). It made my wife's 40th. The units are very luxurious can almost give them 6 stars. Many thanks again to Uncle Chris and his wife for the great service and beautiful place in the forest.

Fantastiese bos wegbreek in 5 ster-chalets, rustig, mooi en nie eers ver om te ry nie! Wonderlik.

Om die bosveld te ervaar sonder om honderde kilometres te ry was 'n bonus. Vir 'n rustige bos ervaring in 5 ster mooi chalets is Chameleon Bush Lodge beslis 'n goeie keuse. Die omgewing van Dinokeng is mooi, met volop diere en voëls. Beslis 'n lekker plek om te rus en net af te skakel van die stadsgejaag. Sal beslis weer gaan.

Uitstekende waarde.

Ek wou my vrou bederf met 'n naweek-wegbreek oor haar verjaardag. Ons het eenheid nr 3 gebruik as 'n basis waarvan ons die Dinokeng-reservaat kon sien. Die kwaliteit van die eenheid is uit die boonste rakke. Dis ongelooflik skoon, baie goed geleë en beskik oor 'n klomp detail-goedjies wat mens nie teen die prys verwag nie. Die watertoring-eenhede is klein maar groot genoeg vir twee (daar is groter eenhede beskikbaar). Ons het 'n baie ontspanne naweek gehad en het Sondagoggend voor ons weg is met die eienaar, Carlien, gesels. Sy is duidelik passievol oor die fasiliteite en het ons baie welkom laat voel. Ons sal definitief weer gaan en kan dit vir seker aanbeveel.

Excellent value.

I wanted to treat my wife to a weekend getaway for her birthday. We used unit no 3 as a base from which we could see the Dinokeng Reserve. The quality of the unit is top notch. It's incredibly clean, very well located and has a lot of details that you wouldn't expect for the price. The water tower units are small but big enough for two (larger units are available). We had a very relaxing weekend and had a chat with the owner, Carlien, on Sunday morning before we left. She is clearly passionate about the facilities and made us feel very welcome. We will definitely go again and can recommend it for sure.

Stil en rustig.

Skoon en netjies. Daar slegs een probleem, die warmwaterstelsel in badkamers werk nie so goed.

Heerlik.

Verblyf is iets besonders. Mooi, aandag aan detail, gerieflik, gemaklik. Sit op die stoep, braai en kyk wild langs die draad. Definitief 'n besoek werd.

Delicious.

Accommodation is something special. Beautiful, attention to detail, convenient, comfortable. Sit on the porch, barbecue and watch wildlife along the wire. Definitely worth a visit.

Aangenaam verras.

Moderne verblyf slegs twee klipgooie vanaf Pretoria. Skoon en netjiese verblyf en vriendelike gashere. Was lekker om sommer net te kon ontspan na 'n dag in die bos. Sal weer en weer gaan.

Pleasantly surprised.

Modern accommodation only two stone's throw from Pretoria. Clean and tidy accommodation and friendly hosts. It was nice to just be able to relax after a day in the forest. Will go again and again.

Dit was fantasties!

Chris en sy vrou is baie vriendelik en gasvry. Kan nie wag vir die swembad om klaar te wees nie. Gaan dan definitief dit weer kom besoek. Baie gelukkig, sou lekker gewees het as 'n eenheid dalk meer as 2 mense kon huisves.

It was fantastic!

Chris and his wife are very friendly and hospitable. Can't wait for the pool to be finished. Definitely going to visit it again. Very happy, would have been nice if a unit could accommodate maybe more than 2 people.

Stylvolle gerieflike bosveld-akkommodasie in Dinokeng.

Ons sal die blits besoek definitief opvolg met 'n langnaweek kuier saam met vriende. Dit is uitstekende waarde vir geld!

A wonderful, relaxing expierence.

No complaints. Will just recommend a visitor's book. I will also suggest that guests are informed about the cleaning staff and the time. Uncomfortable situations can then be avoided. Also inform us city folk how to operate the shower.

Chameleon Bush Lodge 's response

Good evening Jean, thank you for taking the time to comment on your experience at Chameleon Bush Lodge.
Thanks for the suggestion of Visitor's Books. A Visitor's Book will be placed in each chalet, for guests to comment and make suggestions.
Each chalet already has a Room Folder with the following on Page 2 Operating Instructions: (amongst others): Evacuation plan; How to Operate the Gas geyser system; the gas stove; electronic laptop safe; air-conditioners.
On Page 4 we advise that "Room service:
Our room service is between 08:30 and 11:00.
If you do not want your room to be serviced, please let us know by sms". Followed by 2 cell phone numbers.
But be assured that we will continue to pay attention to each and every little detail, to enhance our guests' experience.
Kind regards!

Lovely comfortable chalet.

The unit had two showers, one indoors and one outside, unfortunately both the showers were unusable as the geyser was not functioning properly.

Chameleon Bush Lodge 's response

Good morning Maurice and Gwen, thank you for taking your valued time to write the review and we are truly sorry that the showers were not working 100% during your stay. Since your visit we have installed a state of the art pressure pump that will keep the water pressure at 1.5 bar, even if 12 taps are open at the same time. The manufacturers of the gas geysers guarantee that the geysers are low pressure ones and the flame should be burning at all times when in operation. Hope to see you again soon. Kind regards. Chris & Carlien
