Nice stay - well located.
We had a great time - the barman who also handles the reception and also had to clean some houses - is extremely friendly. The tent houses are cutely furnished and neat linen, but Zips needs attention. Not all the panels can close and the wind on Sunday night lifted flaps and was damn cold. Some of the pots look like toy pots - not sure who should cook with them. The cutlery was "odds and ends". We had 1 steak knife for 2 people and we should have bought a pair of tongs - ours fell apart. Just please attend to the kitchen and basic maintenance to the tents and we will go again. My parents' 2-plate stove, only had one plate that worked. I got the idea from the units that they might have shared cutlery if there were groups and never put everything back. A basic inventory per cottage can help to check. You guys have a nice place - just needs attention to detail.

Yes, just disappointed that they don't have a restaurant or decent bar where you can sit and hang out.
The place is cute only a shortage of heating in winter and blankets. one blanket is not enough in the evening we didn't know that they didn't have a restaurant the four days just wanted to hang out and eat there it would be nice for summer but not pleasant in winter especially in the tent chalets.

No decent cutlery.
The rooms are clean, shower tiles are very dirty. No decent knives to use to cut meat or anything with. On the Thursday night we were there they refused to turn on the generator. Grass in the pool. Simple wine glasses.

Feel free to do so.
The Audrey Hepburn room was very neat and well equipped and we had a very nice stay. There are a few things I would like to mention. The towels are very small, so if you like a big towel, bring your own instead. The walls are not very soundproof and we had to hear the neighbors sitting and talking all night until after 2 in the morning. There is soap and a sponge for washing dishes, but no drying cloths. I would also suggest that guests are informed in advance of load shedding times.

Air conditioner gas was empty. It would be good if there was a booklet in the unit with things to do, restaurants etc. in the environment. The clerk at the counter is very friendly, but has no knowledge of the area himself.

Mediocre. So so.
Website says Big 5, but that's not true at all. Probably in certain places. We drove 4 hours to see wildlife. Just 2 zebras and 2 goats, that's all. WiFi does not work in rooms. Will have to ask friends about the best places to go and get value for money instead. Quite a pity.

Halfway There game lodge advertise free Wi-Fi for guests in our bar and swimming pool area not in the rooms, secondly during these times of load shedding the Hertotel Wi-Fi is not as stable and strong as when there is no load shedding.
Weather conditions, the time of day etc all affect the sighting of game. With the good rain we had this year and the long grass it is very difficult to spot the game, however there are permanently Rhino on our property between the river lappa and Arlington brewery, the lion pass the lodge 3 or 4 times a week and you can hear them roaring at night, some people are luck and spot 3 or 4 of the big 5 in one visit, other are not so lucky.

The lodge is unkempt.
The overall appearance of the lodge is not as expected. The gardens are unkempt and there was no one to help us at reception, had to wait for someone to help with the booking.

Convenient and safe. Just didn't see many animals.
Friendly staff. Just a pity the restaurant was not in operation due to Covid, but quite a few other lodges in Dinokeng have restaurants. Would think that Halfway Lodge could open a restaurant with safety? They have a snack bar, but there is hardly anything available.

The resort is very neat. I would recommend Dinokeng to every person, you can clearly see the animals are just as comfortable and content with their environment. There is a place for everyone, whatever your interests. The people at Halfway There Game Lodge made the visit very pleasant for us. Thanks for a nice weekend and relax.

No reception from management, and members of staff smoking in restaurant which is unpleasant, and against the law. Bedding torn. Resort does not qualify as 4 star. Furthermore nice and quiet resort which is well located and enjoyed it.

Beautiful and peaceful surroundings, very close to the city
The units are beautiful and the bed enormous. The fridge fully stocked with all types of drinks is a definite bonus. Although, we were disappointed to get the Marilyn Monroe room instead of Elvis Presley as the reservation was and the boma was not lit. Restaurant and menu not up to standard. The hall is recommended for large functions or weddings. Think Halfway there's focus is more on reception and functions than the accommodation of customers.
