Our stay was very nice. I can recommend that they make a kitchen for their staff so that guests can have privacy.

The place is clean and beautiful except for the bushveld that are always on our doorstep and they end up being rude and my 3-year-old kids were no longer free to play outside.

It was beautiful and serene. Best stay we had at the bush in a long time. We enjoyed it.

We had a wonderful stay but loadshedding was a real downer. The owner should perhaps consider a gas stove and install battery or solar powered lights to enhance the experience during loadshedding. All in all it was a beautiful experience and we enjoyed it immensely. Zodwa is also a great host and very knowledgeable about the area. The inside shower was a bit small for someone tall and the taps need to be checked as well.

Gemiddelde verblyf oor die algeheel.

Ons bed was besonders gemaklik met hoë kwaliteit linne. Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate is 'n spesiale plek met mooi wild en pragtige naglewe. Daar is baie om te doen in die Hoedspruit-omgewing. Wees bewus van die volgende: Die lodge is tussen twee baie besige paaie - een pad aan die agterkant van die huis wat buite die landgoed is. Die ander besige pad is voor die huis, sowat 25 m vanaf die braaiplek en swembad, en aangesien die huis na daardie kant front het mens min privaatheid. Die paaie raas van vroegoggend al. Die 4 slaapkamers is in 2 vleuels verdeel, 2 kamers per vleuel. Daar is slegs een badkamer met 'n toilet (en stort) tussen 2 kamers, die ander badkamer het slegs 'n bad en wasbak in. Twee kamers deel dus 'n toilet, wat moontlik ongemaklik kan raak vir groot groepe. Daar is wel 'n toilet in die gastebadkamer in die leefarea van die lodge (langs sitkamer). Die lodge se kombuisgeriewe word ook deur die skoonmaakdames gebruik om hul eie etes voor te berei.

Average stay overall.

Our bed was exceptionally comfortable with high quality linen. Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate is a special place with beautiful wildlife and beautiful nightlife. There is a lot to do in the Hoedspruit area. Be aware of the following: The lodge is between two very busy roads - one road at the back of the house which is outside the estate. The other busy road is in front of the house, about 25 m from the braai area and swimming pool, and since the house faces that side you have little privacy. The roads have been noisy since early morning. The 4 bedrooms are divided into 2 wings, 2 rooms per wing. There is only one bathroom with a toilet (and shower) between 2 rooms, the other bathroom only has a bath and sink in it. So two rooms share a toilet, which could potentially become uncomfortable for large groups. There is a toilet in the guest bathroom in the living area of the lodge (next to the lounge). The lodge's kitchen facilities are also used by the cleaning ladies to prepare their own meals.

Gem Bateleur Private Lodge 's response

Goeie more Janke. Baie dankie vir jou review. Ons sal aandag gee aan als wat jy genoem het, baie dankie dat jy dit onder ons aandag gebring het.

Dit is altyd moeilik met die staff daar, want sommige gaste geniet die feit dat daar mense is wat hulle bedien en bederf heeldag waar ander mense absolute privaatheid wil he, dis maar hoekom ons oop kommunikasie behou met beide gaste en staff sodat ons almal tevrede hou en gaste het vrymoedigheid om te vra vir privaatheid of om bedien te word.

Hoop dat ons julle vinnig weer sal terug verwelkom.

Ons het heerlik gekuier, baie huislik en netjies, Zodwa was vriendelik en behulpsaam, ontbyt was heerlik, het dierelewe baie geniet - sal beslis weer kom!

Ons het heerlik gekuier by Gem Bateleur. Als was luuks, netjies en skoon. Uitsig by kamers was baie mooi. Die vlakvarkies, neushoringvoëls en eekhorinkies was te pragtig asook die nagapies in hul skuilings. Zodwa se diens was vriendelik en behulpsaam en sy het 'n heerlike ontbyt voorgesit. Ons het heerlik buite gekuier op die mooi stoep vanwaar ons die diere kon dophou en geniet. Ek sal belis weer by Bateleur tuisgaan in die toekoms.

We had a great time, very homely and tidy, Zodwa was friendly and helpful, breakfast was delicious, really enjoyed the animal life - will definitely come again!

We had a great time at Gem Bateleur. Als was luxurious, neat and clean. View from rooms was very nice. The warthogs, hornbills and squirrels were too beautiful as well as the night monkeys in their shelters. Zodwa's service was friendly and helpful and she served a delicious breakfast. We had a great time outside on the beautiful porch from where we could watch and enjoy the animals. I will definitely stay at Bateleur again in the future.

Great place

My only issue was the lack of hot water in the bathrooms during our stay. Otherwise, good value for money, and safe.
