A real special stay was enjoyed by everyone and we would love to come again.

The house is spacious and very well appointed. The boma area has lots of camping chairs and a hand basin, which came in very handy, and we spent every night under the stars until late. Very tame Nyala and Kudu visit the pond next to the pool every morning.

Dit was n heerlike kuier in 'n baie mooi lodge!

Die eienaar was baie hulpvaardig gewees en het dadelik gereageer op WhatsApp-boodskappe en e-posse. Ons het nie gesukkel met enige logistieke reëlings en die gebruik van die fasiliteite nie omdat al die nodige inligting vooraf ontvang is en duidelik uiteengesit was. Ons beveel die akkommodasie definitief aan!

Luukse verblyf met 'n pragtige uitsig.

Hierdie is 'n fantastiese plek om te bly. Luukse kamers elk met sy eie badkamer en plek vir 'n matras of twee vir kinders wat kuier. Kombuis en woonarea onverbeterlik met alles wat 'n mens nodig het vir kosmaak en kuier. Die stoeparea het genoeg sitplekke met onderdak kroeggedeelte en heerlike swaaibanke. Met die storm wat ons beleef het, was ons veilig en droog. Daar is 'n oulike klein swembadjie waar 'n mens drankies kan geniet, met 'n net vir kinderveiligheid. Die skoonmakers het als mooi skoongemaak en gesorg vir 'n kommervrye heerlike kuier. Lea het ons gedurig op hoogte gehou met inligting en hulp. Sonkrag het perfek gewerk tydens kragonderbrekings. Ons sal absoluut Idwala View 100% aanbeveel!

Luxurious accommodation with a beautiful view.

This is a fantastic place to stay. Luxury rooms each with its own bathroom and room for a mattress or two for visiting children. Kitchen and living area unbeatable with everything one needs for cooking and socializing. The patio area has plenty of seating with a covered bar area and lovely swing sofas. With the storm we experienced, we were safe and dry. There is a cute little pool where one can enjoy drinks, with a net for child safety. The cleaners cleaned everything nicely and ensured a worry-free pleasant visit. Lea kept us up to date with information and help. Solar worked perfectly during power outages. We would absolutely recommend Idwala View 100%!

Pragtige plek, netjies en skoon. Alles wat jy nodig het is daar.

Was baie beïndruk met die huis. Alles was baie netjies en skoon. Alle nodige inligting was betyds deurgegee en terugvoer was blitsvinnig. Ons het gevra vir 'n ekstra baba-bedjie en met ons aankoms het dit reggestaan, pragtig oorgetrek met die oulikste beddegoed. Ek beveel hierdie plek beslis aan. Die eienaar, Lea Duckitt, was besonders vriendelik en hulpvaardig.

Heerlike familie wegbreek.

Dit was 'n regte heerlike familie week en ons het elke oomblik geniet. Alles wat jy aan kan dink, is in die huis. Elke kamer was mooi netjies en die beddens en kussings slaap heerlik. Die kinders het die swembad geniet en die aande om die boma was so gesellig. Die laaste aand wat die olifante by die huis kom kuier het, het die week perfek afgesluit. Dankie Lea vir jou vriendelikheid en gasvryheid. Ons sal beslis weer by Idwala View gaan kuier!

It was a really lovely family week and we enjoyed every moment. Everything you can think of is in the house. Each room was nice and tidy and the beds and pillows slept wonderfully. The children enjoyed the pool and the evenings around the boma were so cozy. The last night the elephants came to visit the house ended the week perfectly. Thank you Lea for your kindness and hospitality. We will definitely visit Idwala View again!

Fantastiese kuier, met wonderlike uitsigte, fantastiese huis met alles wat jy nodig het, 'n heerlike klein swembad vir die kinders, net wat die dokter sou aanbeveel.

Idwlala is 'n perfekte Bosveld-wegbreekplek. Die huis is ruim en die groot, en suite-kamers verskaf privaatheid en gemak. Uitstekende kombuis- en braaigeriewe. Die boma is 'n groot bonus, mens kan heerlik vuurmaak en voort kuier diep in die nag in. Die kinders was versot op die swembad. Wonderlike voel-lewe, en daar het daagliks klomp koedoes kom kuier. Die wildritvoertuig was ook 'n bonus. Hoogs aan te beveel.

Great stay, with great views, fantastic house with everything you need, a lovely little pool for the kids, just what the doctor would recommend.

Idwlala is a perfect Bushveld getaway. The house is spacious and the large, en suite rooms provide privacy and comfort. Excellent kitchen and braai facilities. The boma is a big bonus, you can make a delicious fire and continue visiting deep into the night. The children were obsessed with the pool. Wonderful feeling life, and lots of kudus came to visit daily. The game drive vehicle was also a bonus. Highly recommend.

'n Heerlike boservaring!

Idwala View is werklik vyfstergehalte. Ons het elke oomblik geniet. Al wat gepla het, was die skoonmakers wat reeds vroeg opgedaag het om skoon te maak na ons vertrek. Dit laat 'n mens effens gejaagd voel. Hulle het ook op ons navraag gesê dat ons alle skottelgoed moet was. Ons het reeds die skottelgoedwasser gepak en aangeskakel. Op my navraag aan die eienaar het sy gesê ons hoef nie die orige skottelgoed te was nie - ongelukkig toe reeds gejaag om dit gedoen te kry voor 10:00. Dalk net 'n misverstand.

A wonderful bush experience!

Idwala View is truly five star quality. We enjoyed every moment. All that bothered were the cleaners who had arrived early to clean up after our departure. It makes you feel a little rushed. They also said on our inquiry that we should wash all dishes. We have already packed and switched on the dishwasher. In my inquiry to the owner she said we did not have to wash the rest of the dishes - unfortunately already rushed to get it done before 10am. Maybe just a misunderstanding.

Daar is soveel aandag aan fyn detail in elke vertrek in die huis. Ons kon net gaan, bagasie aflaai en die tyd daar ten volle geniet. Die huur van die wildkykvoertuig was ook `n uitstekende besluit. Dit is so lekker om saam met jou gesin die natuur op so 'n manier te beleef. Koedoes het elke aand vir ons kom groet ─ wonderlik om so naby die natuur te wees. Nog 'n paar ekstra dae sou ideaal gewees het. Kuiers op die groot stoep en by die boma was besonders spesiaal. Baie dankie aan Lea ook vir die spesiale gebaar vir my 60ste verjaardag. Ons familie sal vir seker weer teruggaan na Idwala lodge.

Outstanding!

Idwala View is absolutely amazing. Lea is the perfect hostess and was always available to answer questions. Nothing is too much for her. There is so much attention to fine detail in every room in the house. We could just go, unload luggage and fully enjoy the time there. Hiring the wildlife viewing vehicle was also an excellent decision. It is so nice to experience nature in such a way with your family. Kudus came to greet us every evening ─ wonderful to be so close to nature. A few extra days would have been ideal. Visits on the large stoep and at the boma were particularly special. Many thanks also to Lea for the special gesture for my 60th birthday. Our family will definitely go back to Idwala lodge again.

Die huis is so goed toegerus, het alles wat jy nodig het.

Idwala view is 'n lieflike huis, goed toegerus, jy hoef niks extra saam te vat nie. Die dek buite is gesellig om te sit en kuier met die mooiste uitsig. Die kamers ruim en gerieflik. Die boma is baie lekker om in die aand om die vuur te kuier. Sal die huis aanbeveel en sal ook graag weer wil gaan.

Kan definitief Idwala View aanbeveel! So lekker gewees om verjaarsdagvieringe te kon vier daar! Alles wat ons nodig gehad het en vergeet het kon ons kry in die plek, ons het lekker geslaap al was ons 'n groot groep, het elkeen privaatheid gehad, die uitkyk is asemrowend en die roetes in die reservaat is lekker vir die avontuurlustiges! Lea het uit haar pad uit gegaan om dit so lekker as moontlik te maak!

Can definitely recommend Idwala View! It was so much fun to celebrate a birthday there! Everything was there, even the stuff we forgot to take along. We slept well and even though we were a large group, each had his own privacy. The views are breathtaking and the trails in the reserve are great for adventurists! Lea went out of her way to make things as comfy as possible.

Die huis is pragtig en ruim met 'n ongelooflike uitsig! Alles is skoon en van uitstaande gehalte. Dit was heerlik om af te koel in die pragtige swembadjie en in die aand te kuier rondom die boma. Die wildkykvoertuig is baie betroubaar. Ek sal Idwala View ten sterkste aanbeveel.

Awesome, rustige huis en omgewing.

Ons het my 50ste verjaardag saam met oumas en oupagrootjie, kinders en kleinkinders gevier. Ek kon nie vir 'n meer lieflike plek gevra het nie. Die huis is lieflik en gerieflik, met baie spasie en alles waaraan jy kan dink was beskikbaar. Lea het my vroegtydig op hoogte gebring van alles wat ons moes weet en wou weet. Ek kan dit ten volle aanbeveel vir groter groepe wat 'n wegbreek nodig het. Volgende keer bespreek ek definitief sommer 'n week!

Luxury house in a beautiful setting.

We had a wonderful time at Idwala View. We rented the entire house plus the deck rooms. The house is very well equipped with everything that you can possibly need, including a coffee machine (bring filter coffee, we forgot), dishwasher and washing machine with cleaning tablets, a blender etc etc. The bedrooms are very comfortable, the linen is of a high quality. There is an outside braai at the boma and also a gas braai if the weather is not so good. Our children loved the splash pool. The information that I received before our visit was informative and useful. The children loved the game drives in our own vehicle. Gives you more flexibility with younger children. Peace and quiet in beautiful surroundings.

Die huis is baie goed ingerig, met die fynste detail in elke vertrek. TV met volle pakket en Wi-Fi is 'n bonus vir die hele gesin. Die mooiste uitsig oor die reservaat.

All members of our group enjoyed their stay very much.

We supplied you with a list of small shortcomings , such as bins that were vandalised by baboons, regardless of our efforts to secure the bins. Baboons also ransacked the outside fridge and broke bottles of wine and ciders. We would recommend that you safeguard these amenities. Regardless of this, we found the stay very rewarding.

Idwala View - Mabalingwe Nature Reserve 's response

Hi Lourens, Thank you so much for your feedback. I am really glad you enjoyed your stay. We have tried quite a few things with the bins outside, but they still manage to get to the bags. We are in the process of sorting it out. As far as the bar fridge on the deck, it is a small fridge that does not have a lock and I do recommend to guests in my notes to only put drinks in this fridge while they are entertaining on the deck.
