Mabalingwe is absolutely beautiful and has all the elements to make it world class.
This is a lovely residence, although we would highly recommend some maintenance, eg. oil on all the doors, hinges, cleaning old merkel on the roof and loose tiles on the porch. I would also advise that the kitchenware needs to be reviewed and upgraded. There is no salad bowl, but 3 x graters?

We enjoyed Mabalingwe and just slept over. Unit sufficient for that.
The room was comfortable with an air conditioner and fan. Kitchen, dining room and living room are open plan, which can get cramped if 5 people stay there. It was sufficient for two persons. It is about time for the sofa bed to be replaced. Units close together and do not offer much privacy.

Quiet and nice.
The place is very nice, but unfortunately there were a few things that made it a bit inconvenient. The house was very dusty upon arrival. The thatched roof, especially at the loft above, was terribly covered in cobwebs and I feel it just needs a little better maintenance. The boma was full of ashes and papers and the grate had not been cleaned at all; we had to do it on arrival. It's a lovely place and we really enjoyed it, even if a few things weren't right.

Buying cheap is buying expensive.
There were good points about our stay: many animals walked past the unit every day and Elephant Lodge itself is very nice with a nice pool and lots of sports activities to do. There were quite a few negatives to this particular unit: although 6 people can stay there, there were only 3 wine glasses, too few small plates and only enough large plates for one meal. So we had to wash dishes all the time with the quarter bottle of terribly diluted Sunlight soap that was there. When the bin was full, we realized with a shock that there were no extra black bags. As if it wasn't bad enough, the upper room is missing 2 blinds and you wake up early in the morning with the blinding sun and people can also peep at you when you are naked through the window. We had to try to close the window with the 1 blanket that was there for 2 single beds. To top it all off, none of the outside lights worked and we had to struggle for 3 hours in the dark to grill. It was claimed by the owner and caretaker that they supposedly tested the lights that morning, but the electrician they sent said there was no connection for those lights and he then tied the wires together and the lights went off. shone day and night all long weekend. Finally, the mattresses and pillows were terribly uncomfortable and 3 of the 5 people left are now sitting with back pain. I would rather pay more to stay at a better equipped unit next time, where you can see your "host" cares about their property.

Disappointing.
Was very disappointed. The place is dirty - on the roof in the living room previous guests wrote "clean me". There were no exterior lights that worked. There was a minimum of cutlery (no tongs) and no remote control for the TV. Electrical wires hung from the ceiling in the living room. Upon enquiry, they said, "we're fixing it now". It wasn't fixed until late afternoon on day 2.

Disappointing to say the least.
Although we like Mabalingwe very much and visit there often and I would be able to recommend Kremetart "tongue in kies" if I had to attend to it until then, it is with disappointment that I have to bring the following to your attention. The unit needs maintenance and attention. The doors in the rooms' cupboards as well as the kitchen cupboards are falling off the hinges. The shower in one bathroom's drain is blocked and you stand ankle-deep in water within minutes of a shower. The aircon in one bedroom does not work (it only blows cold air even on the "heat" mode). There are no extra blankets (and believe me it was very cold). The crockery is uneven (there was too little of some things and too much of others). Although the place is set up for 6 people, there were e.g. only 3 large glasses, 5 wine glasses, 3 saucers but again 7 large plates. There were no keys for the sliding doors in the bedrooms and although I sent the owner a WhatsApp message asking where we could get the keys, I did not receive a reply. The electrical wiring of the stove is incorrect and the plates do not work as they should. The plates' heat doesn't work properly either and our food burned twice because the number on the stove is like number 9. The one wall plug in the kitchen doesn't work, which makes it very difficult to operate the kettle, microwave and the "toaster" all with one power point (especially with a small baby traveling along). There were lights that didn't work. With loadshedding, there were 2 lights that clearly worked on solar, but nowhere was there a working "battery backup light" or "rechargeable" light. The unit was indeed cleaned nicely by Willeminah. My advice would be to pay some attention to the unit because it is actually a very nice place and we would love to visit there again.

At the boma the old ashes lie scattered. The table in the living room made of wire is a great danger to my child. Cobwebs everywhere.

Tiles on porch are broken and pieces out. TV is on the floor in one room. Barbecue is falling apart and grill needs to be replaced. One crane's head was off.

Visit Mabalingwe regularly, this time was disappointing.
The unit definitely needs repairs. Only one room had the shower, bath and air vent working (right) and only 1 blanket, was cold and linen was thin. Bedroom 2 (left), no bath plug and shower not working, water only drips from it, also only 1 blanket, air rail not working. Bedroom upstairs: Bed broken, 2 adults had to share on single bed, 1 blanket, shower taps not working, water taps broken, sink taps also a problem, bath no plug, no air vent. The TV was weak upstairs. The poor quality steak knives were broken (then like a clipper when you use them, plastic handles), plates were chipped. Paving tiles must be replaced in places where they are broken, as one can fall there and sustain an injury. The downstairs TV did work.

Disappointing for what we paid per night.
The front door couldn't lock at all, we waited about 2 hours for someone to help us after calling around everywhere. The 2 rooms' exterior doors cannot open at all. Although the place looked neat when you entered it was not clean at all, in front of the unit's door were used ear sticks and toothpicks, bedding and towels were very old and washed out and no longer white. When we wanted to cancel, the owner was only willing to refund us 30%. The owner was not helpful at all and we struggled to get hold of her by phone. For those who want to book there, do your homework properly first, the photos look very nice but not at all what we experienced.

The lodge was a horrible experience from start to finish. The owner or manager has our double-book. It took us and the other family over 3 hours to sort out. This while the owner simply did not answer her mobile phone. Eleven days later and still no feedback. The place was dirty. Dangerous wires and no plugs. And to top it all off, no provision made for load shedding. This while there was up to phase 6 load shedding. Not a church or a gas lamp. It was a really horrible experience.

We were very disappointed in the unit. The unit is very neglected. There is absolutely no maintenance. The door's lock is damaged and you have difficulty unlocking the door. The wood of the doors was eaten away by termites. Curtains are very dirty. Lights hang from wires and there are no light shields on some lights. One bathroom's toilet bowl lid is broken, you can stick your whole hand in it. The other bathroom's faucet runs all the time and you can't close the faucet. The toilet paper holder is loose, the shower heads are disgustingly dirty. DStv decoder hangs just below the TV - very unsightly. The pots and pans are in a disgusting state. In the upper room there was a dirty mattress and sheet standing in the corner. We will not stay in this unit again.

Electric plug in kitchen shocked one of our guests. Lights that don't work. The roof leaks terribly in all the rooms. No mop or broom, you have to ask for something.

It was an absolutely disappointing week. The unit was not up to standard at all. Will never stay at Elephant Lodge again. We go to Mabalingwe a lot and stay in Kubu and Itaga but thought Elephant Lodge for kids was a good location.
The roof leaked, the children had to sleep downstairs on a mattress with their parents. The downstairs bathroom and the upstairs bathroom faucets were off. The mattress of the one bed in the lower room's springs felt like they were coming through when you lay on the bed. The microwave is rusted and we could not use it. Lights in the room are incomplete with only a wire hanging. The doors of the room to the outside could not open. I took a lot of pictures and am going to put them on Hello Peter and all media platforms to warn people, don't waste your money on this accommodation. We were not the only people there who were unhappy with the stay. Many people complained and worst of all we reported it to Christa and nothing was done about it. For what we paid for the unit it is a shame that such a place is rented out.

We had a very nice stay. Will definitely stay there again.
A few repairs are needed throughout the place. Not to be negative. Upper shower head was only scant with water. Needs a cleaning (Shower head). Upper bathroom door lock is broken. Door could not close. Lights out in upstairs room but really didn't bother. We really enjoyed the stay there.

Comfortable little place in the woods with something for the whole family.
Well located. Wonderful environment. Unit has enough space and all the basics one needs. Very cute boma. Service is good and vining to sort out any problems. Really go out of their way to make things comfortable for your family. Plekkie has a few small maintenance things that could be improved and here and there needs an extra glass or spoon and so on, but nothing that you can't sort out.

Environmentally friendly and peaceful atmosphere. The scenery is beautiful and the staff receptive!
Fortunately, we are not spoiled people otherwise we could have complained about a few things regarding Unit 154. It definitely needs a bit of renovation. But the linen was very clean! Otherwise, we really enjoyed the campfire with the wild animals that came to greet us. We had a lovely meal at the restaurant with very friendly staff. Considering the current drought, the game drives were worth it. Overall a very enjoyable experience at Mabalingwe! If the Cape wasn't so far, we would like to go again!

Lots of potential if fully finished and finished.
Nice place, but a few things need attention. Electrical connections are not neat and/or completely safe. A few window trims incomplete. Curtain rails not completed, at least 2 faucets not functioning properly. The cable and light at the lapa need attention. No corkscrew or salad bowl..

Dirty and without electricity.
We clocked in for 2 hours and sat without power after 6 in the evening. The place was terribly dirty with cockroaches, a bag of cement lying around in the kitchen and the boma was unusable with a dirty grill.

It was dirty! Geyser broken. Ants. No toilet paper.
Cleaning service is pathetic. Brooms and rags are dirty. The place was very dirty. Linen was stained and full of fish moths. Floors were dirty and ants were everywhere! There was no power when we arrived and when we discovered the power board among cans and other rubbish we had to figure out for ourselves the geyser tripping the power. The maintenance team called. They came to check 2 hours later and promised to come and fix it the next day. The geyser was fixed only after dark on Saturday night. Clogged shower drain. Dishcloths obviously dirty. Spider cracks everywhere. On the porch lies a dirty black bag with a bag of cement. It was horrible!

We stayed very nice and would love to go again!
The lodge was very clean and tidy and we had a lovely stay! The animals regularly walked past the lodge and our little girl called us regularly when they passed. We will certainly recommend it for people who love the bush and nature. It is quiet and peaceful and a wonderful getaway.

Stay was very pleasant and nice and quiet!
Drains were clogged (they tried to open with no success - not real equipment or clue). No hot water (outlet pipe at geyser broken and then they turn it off). I had to sweep the barbecue area and had to barbecue on bricks! This was bad advertising for my German tourists visiting us!

Mabalingwe Elephant Lodge Unit 254 Kremetart 's response
Goeie dag De Wet
Ek is jammer vir die misverstand, daar word wel geadverteerd dat daar DSTV in die eenheid is, die sitkamer se DSTV het wel gewerk tydens julle besoek, ongelukkig het slegs een slaapkamer se DSTV die gewerk nie. Ek is nie bewus van die vuil lakens nie. Die oond is wel in 'n werkende toestand, die skakelaar, knop het dus net vasgehak as mens hom moes draai.
Dus vra ek onverskoning vir die ongerief, al die punte van ontevredenheid is herstel.
Dit is vir ons eerste prioriteit om ons gaste tevrede te stel, dus indien daar enige probleem mag opduik, kontak my gerus en daar sal dadelik aandag daaraan gegee word.
Daar is 'n bestuurspan wat bereid is om enige gas se behoeftes te probeer vul.
Baie dankie

A bit disappointed.
Had really high expectations of the place as I paid R2000 a night. Really a very nice place, but there is just too much that went wrong. Braai light not working. Chalet did not have hot water. Refrigerator has trouble getting cold. Stove does not heat up. The Chalet smelled bad after the new curtains they put in. I have to add that our agent was very helpful and sorted out the first few problems, but it was still frustrating that nothing was working as it should. Will definitely go to Mabalingwe Elephant Lodge again but just not at 154 Kremetart.

An excellent place to visit with friends or adult children.
We were a family with grown children visiting together. The unit needs some maintenance (eg showers were clogged), but the unit is so well appointed with 3 bathrooms that one still got by just fine. Rooms delightfully private and visiting areas very cozy. Unit conveniently located on resort and within walking distance of pool and kiosk. Private boma area makes for lovely late night snuggles around the fire. Would love to go back again for sure.
