Ongelooflik, asemrowend rustig.

Dit was so rustig en gesellig. Sal enige tyd weer terugkeer daarheen, en die hond was die cuteste, so liefdevol. My kinders en ons het tuis gevoel en heel ontspanne. Ons was opgegradeer na 'n groter huis, nie eens enige ekstra fooie gevra nie. Ongelooflik.

Unbelievably, breathtakingly peaceful.

It was so peaceful and cozy. Would go back there again anytime, and the dog was the cutest, so loving. My children and we felt at home and very relaxed. We were upgraded to a bigger house, not even asked for any extra fees. Unbelievable.

Baie rustig.

Ons het heerlik gekuier. Ek dink net dit sou gaaf gewees het as die eienaar self gekom het om haarself voor te stel en te hoor of alles in orde is. Die dame wat die lodge bestuur, was baie verwelkomend. Ek stel voor daar moet 'n lig buite die chalet opgesit word sodat mens darem net bietjie lig kan hê buite.

Very calm.

We had a great time. I just think it would have been nice if the owner herself had come to introduce herself and ask if everything was okay. The lady who runs the lodge was very welcoming. I suggest that a light should be put up outside the chalet so that you can at least have some light outside.

Such a beautiful visit, amazing garden and the swimming area is luxurious. Children had so much fun.

We as a family of 4 with young children were spoiled with the beautiful accomodation, friendly staff and amazing breakfasts, we will definitely recommend this establishment to anyone and the road in was easy to navigate.

Not value for money.

The unit is old - the stairs are hazardous especially for toddlers. One has to duck under roof beams upstairs to get to the rooms and bathroom. There is no window in the bathroom. The kitchen is not well kitted out, pans are old and handles are broken - no broom to sweep with, only a brush. The photos of the unit need to be updated as the photos are not a true representation of the current state. We were 6 people, yet only 4 towels were provided - after asking for more, these were brought to us. There are two resident dogs that roam around, they are very sweet but are too comfortable as they would come into our unit and with a small child we felt we had to keep a constant watch just in case. There was music playing and a party on the Friday night, although there is a no-music policy at the lodge. There was not enough lounge seating for 6 people, and we felt the unit had not been properly cleaned. Unfortunately our weekend turned out to be rather disappointing.

Afgesonder en nie heeltemal tevrede.

Die eenheid wat ons ontvang het was afgesonder en die stoep kyk uit op die agterkant van die lodge. Gemoed met aankoms was nie lekker nie. Die eenheid agter ons se ligging was beter om uit te kyk na die lapa, swembad, sonsondergang en lodge. Geen TV of WiFi. Eenheid was mooi skoon en toegerus met alles wat nodig is.

Secluded and not completely satisfied.

The unit we received was secluded and the veranda overlooks the back of the lodge. On arrival our mood was not pleasant. The unit's location behind us was better to look out at the lapa, pool, sunset and lodge. No TV or WiFi. Unit was beautifully clean and equipped with everything needed.

Geen privaatheid.

Toe ons daar aankom met ons diere, waarvoor ons vooraf gereël het, word daar dadelik gesê ons kan hulle van die leiband af haal, hulle mag vry rondhardloop, maak toe so en later die middag vra die eienaar dat ons ons hond op die leiband moet sit. Daar het heeltyd kinders voor ons kamer rondgehardloop wat gemaak het dat ons honde vir hulle blaf (die kinders skree terwyl hulle speel). Ons was nie bewus van die feit dat daar so baie kinders op die perseel gaan wees nie, dit blyk of dit familie was omrede die kinders nie daar oornag het nie. Dit sou ons keuse beïnvloed het om daar te bly want ons honde is nie gewoond aan kinders nie. Daar is vir ons gesê ons eenheid is privaat, maar dit was nie die geval nie. Die advertensie het ook nie genoem dat die lodge buite Dinokeng Natuurreservaat is nie, ons was onder die indruk dit was binne Dinokeng Natuurreservaat. Die werkers loop ook elke 10 min verby jou voordeur, die stoep wys direk in die rigting wat almal verby loop, soos wat ons op die stoep sit en braai loop almal reg voor ons verby (weereens klem op die geen privaatheid nie). Die aircon het amper geen effek gehad nie, die plek wemel van muskiete en die kombuis is nie volledig nie (met verwysing na utensils). Verder was alles skoon en netjies.

Translate to English.

No privacy.

When we arrived with our animals, for which we had arranged in advance, we were immediately told that we could take them off the leash, they could run around freely, we then did so. Later in the afternoon the owner asked us to put our dog on the leash. There were kids running around in front of our room the entire time, making our dogs bark at them (the kids screaming while playing). We were unaware that there were going to be so many children on the premises, it seemed to be family because the children did not stay there overnight. It would have influenced our choice to stay there because our dogs are not used to children. We were told our unit was private, but that was not the case. The ad also did not mention that the lodge is outside Dinokeng Nature Reserve, we were under the impression it was inside Dinokeng Nature Reserve. The workers also walk past your front door every 10 minutes, the porch points directly in the direction of everyone passing by, as we sit on the porch and braai everyone walks right in front of us (again emphasising the no privacy). The air con had almost no effect, the place teeming with mosquitoes and the kitchen is not complete (with reference to utensils). For the rest, everything was clean and tidy.

KwaThabisile Game Lodge 's response

Good morning Clarize,
This is definitely a review that takes us by surprise and hope to respond in a manner that other potential guests would understand that we are not used to responding to this type of complaint.
Unfortunately, we cannot prioritize your dog over petrified children trying to have fun in the swimming pool. There were 2 families that were paying guests, not our friends or family. Although we do socialise with many guests, including your partner who happily joined us on Friday night with other guests.
In your original enquiry, we mentioned that no dogs are allowed in the swimming pool and you ensure that the dogs respect the privacy, peace and quiet of other guests.
Your dog was barking incessantly and going towards the children that were trying to have fun in the pool. The children were clearly petrified. The parents of the children were trying to calm them down by making light and fun of it. I could not, as a patron, see this and not take control of the situation. I brought a leash for the dog and asked you nicely to please keep the dog on the leash as the children were afraid of it. I put the leash on the dog and reflected that the guests' privacy come first and needed space to enjoy themselves in the pool without their dog harassing them.
We gave you a Dinokeng Tours map via email which clearly shows that we are not in the Dinokeng Game Reserve and in a printed version when you arrived which offers over 120 activities in Dinokeng and highlighted which ones were pet-friendly. We advertise that we are in the heart of Dinokeng. If you wanted to book in the Dinokeng Game Reserve you needed to investigate this option, however, there are no pet-friendly lodges in the DGR.
The only time that staff go past the units is to clean their braais, units and pool. We advertise that we service units. All gardening and maintenance of property happens mid-week. We do not advertise aircons and the clients are more than welcome to ask for mosquito spray should they have forgotten to bring their own.
Unfortunately, you made no reference to any complaints while they were here as we regularly checked up on them to see if they were happy and if we could offer them options for places to visit while at KwaThabisile. After I had indicated to them that the dog needs to behave, they were attentive but clearly did not work out for them.
I trust you understand that your dog cannot take priority our rules regarding dog behaviour. However, the complaints are not in my view, one that I need to apologise for.
Kind regards
KwaThabisile Game Lodge

Baie lekker verblyf vir groot groepe.

Die akkommodasie is 'n bietjie duur vir wat mens kry - mens verwag beter geriewe teen hierdie prys. Dit was baie warm in die nag en van die dakwaaiers het nie gewerk nie of het baie geraas. Die lugversorging in een van die kamers het ook nie gewerk nie. Ons het egter 'n baie lekker, rustige tyd as familie saam deurgebring - ek kan hierdie akkommodasie beslis aanbeveel vir groepe van 20 en meer. Die swembad was mooi skoon en die vlugbalnet was opgesit en die baan was lieflik mooi uitgemeet. Ons het die naweek baie geniet, die diens wat Alex gebied het, was ook baie goed.

Very nice accommodation for large groups.

The accommodation is a bit expensive for what you get - you would expect better facilities at this price. It was very hot at night and some of the ceiling fans didn't work or made a lot of noise. The air conditioning in one of the rooms was also not working. However, we had a very nice, peaceful time together as a family - I can definitely recommend this accommodation for groups of 20 and up. The pool was very clean and the volleyball net was set up and the court was beautifully measured out. We really enjoyed the weekend, the service Alex provided was also very good.

Vals inligting oor fasiliteite. Kombuis karig. Wel rustige omgewing en lekker geswem.

Kon ontspan in 'n rustige omgewing en swembad is mooi skoon en verfrissend. Kombuis kort ernstige opgradering. Sleg toegerus. Panne se handvatsels los en geen oond. Eenheid nooit skoongemaak tydens ons verblyf nie. Moes vra dat vullis verwyder word uit eenheid teen dag 3! Braai word nie skoongemaak nie. As mens terugvoering lees van besoekers tot 10 jaar gelede klink dit fantasties. Dit klink veral of buitelanders spesiale behandeling kry. Vandag 'n heel ander prentjie. Ek sal volgende keer na eer as net die foto's kyk voor ek 'n besluit maak.

False information about facilities. Kitchen meager. Well calm environment and nice swimming.

Was able to relax in a peaceful environment and pool is nice clean and refreshing. Kitchen needs serious upgrading. Badly equipped. Pans' handles loose and no oven. Unit never cleaned during our stay. Had to ask for trash to be removed from unit by day 3! Barbecue is not cleaned. If you read feedback from visitors up to 10 years ago, it sounds fantastic. It especially sounds like foreigners get special treatment. Today a very different picture. Next time I will look at honor other than just the photos before I make a decision.

Nice, neat and quiet.

Kwathabisile is a good place to go to get away from the busy city life. It is very quiet, and it seemed like time stood still. My mother and I went there for a little getaway, and it was great to hear nothing but the bushveld noises around us. It was also a great bonus that we were allowed to bring our doggy along - she also enjoyed the wide open spaces immensely!

Die verblyf was heel lekker en die personeel op diens baie behulpsaaam. Daar is egter 'n paar dinge waarmee ek nie gelukkig was nie.

Ek was onder die indruk dat die lodge in 'n reservaat was wat spesifieke selfry-roetes het, maar daarvan was daar geen teken nie. Daar was nie afdroogdoeke en vadoeke in die kombuis nie. Die kombuis se werksoppervlak is baie min, self vir ons wat net 2 mense was. Die klein tweeplaatstofie lyk soos 'n brandgevaar. Die koue water wat in die bad moet inloop was 'non-existing' en die stort ook nie te waffers nie. Alhoewel ons heel lekker gebly het en heerlik gekuier het, dink ek persoonlik die verblyf is effens duur vir wat jy kry. Ek sal dit aanbeveel maar nie teen die huidige prys nie.

The stay was very nice and the staff on duty very helpful. However, there are a few things I wasn't happy with.

I was under the impression that the lodge was in a reserve that had specific self-drive routes, but there was no sign of that. There were no drying towels and dish towels in the kitchen. The kitchen's work surface is very small, even for us who were only 2 people. The little two-board stove looks like a fire hazard. The cold water that has to run into the bath was 'non-existent' and the shower wasn't too shabby either. Although we had a great stay and had a great time, I personally think the accommodation is a bit expensive for what you get. I would recommend it but not at the current price.

Alles is stukkend en vuil. Daar is geen privaatheid by die swembad nie.

Dis goed geleë, maar die verblyf is onaangenaam. Alles is oud, verweer en stukkend. Glad nie die prys werd nie. Daar was geen privaatheid by die swembad nie, mense werskaf om jou. Dis teleurstellend. Daar was ook geen ligte buite by die swembad nie. Die plek het ongelooflik baie potensiaal, maar dit word nie benut nie.

Everything is broken and dirty. There is no privacy at the pool.

It's well located, but the accommodation is unpleasant. Everything is old, weathered and broken. Not worth the price at all. There was no privacy at the pool, people crowded around you. It's disappointing. There were also no lights outside at the pool. The place has an incredible amount of potential, but it is not being used.

Lekker!

Die lodge het 'n wonderlike ligging, net jammer daar was geen wildsritte beskikbaar nie.

Nice!

The lodge has a great location, just a shame there were no game drives available.

Ek sal dit nie aanbeveel by mense nie. Die feit dat ons hondjie kon saamgaan was positief.

Geen bestuur betrokke nie. Daar is glad nie 'n restaurant soos aangedui nie, geen wild nie ... Baie teleurstellend. Ek het nie my kamer gekry wat ek bespreek het nie, maar hulle het opgemaak daarvoor deur vir my n groter eenheid teen dieselfde prys te gee. Dink hulle is bietjie duur. Die swembad kon definitief skoner gewees het. Afgesien van alles, weet ek nou wat om te verwag en ek sal weer gaan omdat ons hondjie kan saamgaan en die kinders baie pret gehad het.

I would not recommend it to people. The fact that our puppy could go along was positive.

No management involved. There is no restaurant at all as indicated, no game... Very disappointing. I didn't get my room that I booked, but they made up for it by giving me a bigger unit at the same price. Think they are a bit expensive. The pool could definitely have been cleaner. Apart from everything, I now know what to expect and I will go again because our puppy can come along and the kids had a lot of fun.

Not what we were expecting.

We enjoyed the weekend, but KwaThabisile is not what we expected, because they advertise a restaurant, but there is no restaurant, no meals and no chef. This is strictly self catering and not a bed and breakfast. There is also no television available and we didn't see the manager the whole weekend while we were there. We had to travel plus minus 40 km to go on a game drive at another facility. The taps in the bath room are not working properly. Some of the other visitors were also very upset when they arrived there.
