Mabalingwe is absoluut pragtig en het al die elemente om dit wêreldklas te maak.

Dit is 'n heerlike woning, alhoewel ons sal 'n bietjie onderhoud hoogs aanbeveel, bv. olie aan al die deure, skaniere, skoonmaak van ou merkel aan die dak en los teëls op die stoep. Ek sal ook aanraai dat die kombuisgebruiksware hersien en opgegradeer moet word. Daar is nie 'n slaaibak nie, maar 3 x raspers?

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?

By Mabalingwe Elephant Lodge Unit 254 Kremetart kon ek weer mens word.

Ons het heerlik gebly. Elephant Lodge is die plek waar oud en jonk kan ontspan en vakansie geniet, want daar is iets vir almal. As mens dit perfek wil maak, kan daar gewerk word aan WiFi.

Ons het Mabalingwe geniet en net oorgeslaap. Eenheid voldoende daarvoor.

Die kamer was gerieflik met 'n lugversorging en waaier. Kombuis, eetkamer en sitkamer is oopplan, wat beknop kan raak as 5 persone daar bly. Dit was voldoende vir twee persone. Dit is ongeveer tyd dat die slaapbank vervang word. Eenhede naby aan mekaar en bied nie baie privaatheid nie.

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.

Absolute gem, but seriously needs some TLC and a deep clean and paint inside.

Our time at Unit 254 was really amazing. The only thing is that the maintenance and cleaning seriously need attention. You get dirt but this is seriously dirty that you would need to scrub down with sugar soap to get it looking decent again. The pots are burnt inside and the correct cleaning equipment can come clean, we tried to scrub with what we had but it really needs to be TLC. There are no serving containers or dishes for salads or sides and no tongs. Then on the maintenance side, the shower in the one downstairs room with the two single beds shocks you when you try to touch the tap once you are inside and wet. The coffee table is broken, the sleeper couch is really old and is in desperate need of replacing and the broken tiles on the steps outside need to be fixed. It's a beautiful place, amazing value for money but with a lick of paint and some cleaning, this place would be an absolute gem. (i. e. someone even wrote on the ceiling clean me. not sure how long ago. not sure why someone would do this to someone's property but perhaps some love can take place.

Die game drives en predator park was awesome.

Die eenheid is nie toegerus vir loadshedding of kragonderbrekings nie. 'n Gasstoof sou baie help. Een magnito lig tussen 3 kamers. Boonste kamer se waaier was stukkend. Hulle sou 'n ander een bring. Het nie.

Rustig en lekker.

Die plekkie is baie mooi, maar ongelukkig was daar 'n paar goed wat dit bietjie ongerieflik gemaak het. Die huis was met aankoms baie vol stof gewees. Die grasdak, veral by die loft bo, was vreeslik oortrek met spinnerakke en ek voel dit moet net bietjie beter instand gehou word. Die boma was vol as en papiere en die rooster was glad nie skoongemaak nie; ons moes dit doen met aankoms. Dit is 'n heerlike plek en ons het dit regtig baie geniet, al was die paar goedjies nou nie reg nie.

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.

Goedkoop koop is duur koop.

Daar was goeie punte aan ons verblyf: baie diere het verby die eenheid geloop elke dag en Elephant Lodge self is baie lekker met 'n mooi swembad en baie sportaktiwiteite om te doen. Daar was wel 'n hele paar negatiewe aspekte aan hierdie spesifieke eenheid: alhoewel 6 mense daar kan bly, was daar net 3 wynglase, te min klein bordjies en slegs genoeg groot borde vir een maaltyd. Ons moes dus die hele tyd skottelgoed was met die kwart bottel vreeslike verdunde Sunlight seep wat daar was. Toe die asblik vol word, besef ons met 'n skok daar is geen ekstra swartsakke nie. Asof dit nie erg genoeg was nie, vermis die boonste kamer 2 blinds en mens word dus vroeg die oggend wakker met die verblindende son en mense kan ook vir jou koekeloer as jy kaal is deur die venster. Ons moes met die 1 kombers wat daar vir 2 enkelbeddens was, die venster probeer toemaak. Om alles te kroon, het geen van die buiteligte gewerk nie en ons moes 3 ure in die donker sukkel om te braai. Daar was beweer deur die eienaar en opsigter dat hulle kwansuis daardie oggend die ligte getoets het, maar die elektrisien wat hulle gestuur het, het gesê dat daar geen konneksie vir daardie ligte was nie en hy het toe die drade aan mekaar vasgemaak en die ligte het die hele langnaweek dag en nag geskyn. Laastens was die matrasse en kussings vreeslik ongemaklik en 3 van die 5 mense wat oorgebly het, sit nou met rugpyn. Ek sal eerder duurder betaal om by 'n beter toegeruste eenheid te bly volgende keer, waar jy kan sien jou "gasheer" gee om vir hulle eiendom.

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.

Teleurstellend.

Baie teleurgesteld gewees. Die plek is vuil - op die dak in die sitkamer het vorige gaste geskryf "clean me". Daar was geen buiteligte wat gewerk het nie. Daar was 'n minimum aan eetgerei (geen braaitang) en geen afstandsbeheer vir die TV nie. Elektriese drade het uit die dak in die sitkamer gehang. Met navraag is daar gesê, "ons stel dit nou reg". Dit is eers teen laatmiddag op dag 2 reggestel.

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.

Verblyfplek het 'n deep clean nodig, vuil aangebrande potte tot jou beskikking, geen slaai of mengbakke nie. Gebreekte teëls groet jou oppad in. Aircon werk nie op hitte nie. Mens voel sleg as jy so 'n bargain tee kom.

Teleurstellend om die minste te sê.

Alhoewel ons baie van Mabalingwe hou en gereeld daar besoek en ek wel Kremetart "tong in kies" sal kan aanbeveel as ek moet tot daar aandag daaraan gegee word, is dit met teleurstelling dat ek die volgende onder aandag moet bring. Die eenheid kort onderhoud en aandag. Die deure in die kamers se kaste sowel as die kombuiskaste val van die skarniere af. Die stort in die een badkamer se drein is geblokkeer en mens staan enkeldiep in die water binne minute van 'n stort. Die aircon in die een slaapkamer werk nie (hy blaas net koue lug selfs op die "heat" mode). Daar is nie ekstra komberse nie (en glo my dit was baie koud). Die breekware is ongelyk (daar was te min van goed en weer te veel van ander). Alhoewel die plek vir 6 mense ingerig is, was daar bv. net 3 groot glase, 5 wynglase, 3 pierings maar weer 7 groot borde. Daar was nie sleutels vir die skuifdeure in die slaapkamers nie en alhoewel ek die eienaar 'n WhatsApp-boodskap gestuur het om te vra waar ons die sleutels kon kry, het ek nie 'n antwoord ontvang nie. Die elektriese bedrading van die stoof is verkeerd en die plate werk nie soos dit moet nie. Die plate se hitte werk ook nie reg nie en ons kos het 2 keer gebrand omrede die nommer op die stoof soos nommer 9 is. Die een muurprop in die kombuis werk nie, wat dit baie moeilik maak om die ketel, mikrogolfoond en die "toaster" als met een kragpunt te werk (veral met 'n klein baba wat saamgereis het). Daar was ligte wat nie gewerk het nie. Met loadshedding was daar wel 2 ligte wat duidelik op solar gewerk het, maar nêrens was daar 'n werkende "battery backup lig" of "rechargeable" lig nie. Die eenheid was wel mooi skoongemaak deur Willeminah. My raad sal wees dat daar bietjie aandag aan die eenheid gegee word want dit is eintlik 'n baie mooi plek en ons sal graag weer daar wil besoek.

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.

Kort wegbreeknaweek saam met vriende.

Baie lekker behalwe vir die dreinering van water, wat 'n gemors. Die bad en storte dreineer nie. Die maintenance was daar, maar dieselfde probleem. Andersins was ons verblyf heel lekker.

Short getaway weekend with friends.

Very nice except for the drainage of water, what a mess. The tub and showers do not drain. The maintenance was there, but the same problem. Otherwise, our stay was very nice.

Heerlike naweek, maar huis was teleurstellend.

Huis was nie baie skoon nie en het maar verwaardloos gelyk. Ons het beter verwag volgens foto's. Beddegoed was oud en nie silverskoon nie.

Slegste ervaring in my lewe.

Die sleeper bank is gebruik. Daar is geen handvatsels aan die deure. Baie teëls is gekraak en gebreek, my seuntjie het amper sy voet oopgesny. Die beddegoed en kussing ruik suur en het vuil kolle op. Die baddens is oud, die afspoelkraan se pyp spuit alles nat behalwe my. Kombuiskaste is stukkend. Die mure is vuil. Die gordyne is vuil en nie behoorlik ingehak nie. By die boma lê die ou as gestrooi. Die tafel in die sitkamer wat van draad gemaak is, is 'n groot gevaar vir my kind. Spinnerakke oral.

Worst experience in my life.

The sleeper sofa was used. There are no handles on the doors. Many tiles were cracked and broken, my boy almost cut his foot open. The bedding and pillow smell sour and have dirty stains on them. The baths are old, the faucet's pipe sprays wet everything but me. Kitchen cabinets are broken. The walls are dirty. The curtains are dirty and not properly hemmed. 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.

Eenheid is verwaarloos.

Lakens was vol kolle en het soos nat hond geruik. Slot op kamerdeur was afgebreek. Stortwater het lank geneem om uit te loop, amper oorgeloop. Toilets kon nie spoel nie. Lugversorgers maak lawaai. Teëls op stoep is gebreek en stukke uit. TV staan op die vloer in die een kamer. Braaiplek val uitmekaar en rooster moet vervang word. Een kraan se kop was af. Het die eerste aand die eienaar per WhatsApp ingelig van die probleme, maar sy het die boodskap gelees maar nie teruggeantwoord nie.

Unity is neglected.

Sheets were stained and smelled like wet dog. Lock on room door was broken. Shower water took a long time to drain, almost overflowing. Toilets could not flush. Air conditioners make noise. 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. Informed the owner of the problems via WhatsApp the first night, but she read the message but did not reply back.

Besoek Mabalingwe gereeld, was hierdie keer teleurstellend.

Die eenheid het beslis reperasies nodig. Slegs een kamer het die stort, bad en lugreeling gewerk (regs) en slegs 1 kombers, was koud en linne was dun. Slaapkamer 2 (links), geen badprop en stort werk nie, water drup slegs daaruit, ook net 1 kombers, lugreeling werk nie. Slaapkamer bo: Bed stukkend, 2 volwassenes moes deel op enkelbed, 1 kombers, stortkrane werk nie, waterkrane is stukkend, wasbakkrane ook 'n probleem, bad geen prop, geen lugreeling. Die TV was swak bo. Die swak gehalte steak-messe was stukkend (toe soos 'n knipmens as mens dit gebruik, plastiekhandvatsels), borde is gechip. Stoepteëls moet plek-plek vervang word waar dit stukkend is, aangesien mens daar kan val en 'n besering kan opdoen. Die onderste TV het wel gewerk.

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.

Teleurstellend vir wat ons betaal het per nag.

Die voordeur kon glad nie sluit nie, ons het omtrent 2 ure gewag vir iemand om ons te help nadat ons orals moes rond bel. Die 2 kamers se buitedeure kan glad nie oopmaak nie. Alhoewel die plek netjies gelyk het as jy ingaan was dit glad nie skoon nie, voor die eenheid se deur het gebruikte oorstokkies en tandevlosstokkies gelê, beddegoed en handdoeke is baie oud en uit gewas en nie meer wit nie. Toe ons wou kanselleer toe is die eienaar net bereid om 30% vir ons terug te betaal. Die eienaar was glad nie behulpsaam nie en ons het gesukkel om haar telefonies in die hande te kry. Vir die wat daar wil boek, doen maar julle huiswerk behoorlik eers, die foto's lyk baie mooi maar glad nie wat ons ervaar het nie.

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.

Erge teleurstelling.

Die lodge was van die begin tot die einde 'n aaklige ervaring. Die eienaar of bestuurder het ons gedubbel-boek. Dit het ons en die ander gesin meer as 3 ure geneem om uit te sorteer. Dit terwyl die eienaar net eenvoudig nie haar selfoon geantwoord het nie. Elf dae later en steeds geen terugvoer nie. Die plek was vuil. Gevaarlike drade en geen proppe nie. En om alles te kroon, geen voorsiening gemaak vir beurtkrag nie. Dit terwyl daar tot fase 6-beurtkrag was. Nie 'n kerk of 'n gaslampie nie. Dit was regtig 'n aaklige ervaring.

Big disappointment.

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.

This place is in serious need of maintenance. It is an ant infested dump.

Maintenance needs to be performed to an acceptable standard. The cleaning crew the first couple of days was doing a real bad job and when we complained, the cleaner let the door open for monkeys to come into the unit. The monkeys even took eggs out of the fridge and some juices, select certain crisps and only ate bananas (no other fruit) making it highly suspect that it was actually monkeys that did take some of the items. The stench was a big problem as the cleaning person's mop was filthy.

Teleurstellend en vuil.

Alles in die eenheid is gebreek (ketel, kombuislig, ligte, muurproppe werk nie, skuifdeur se glas, toiletrolhouder en die lys gaan aan). Die eenheid is vuil en grillerig en kort 'n goeie skoonmaak en nuwe verf en toebehore. Oor die algemeen baie teleurstellend en 'n groot verleentheid vir wie ookal die eenheid besit.

Ons was baie teleurgesteld in die eenheid. Die eenheid is baie verwaarloos. Daar word absoluut geen instandhouding gedoen nie. Die deur se slot is beskadig en sukkel jy om die deur oop te sluit. Die hout van die deure is deur termiete gevreet. Gordyne is baie vuil. Ligte hang van drade af en daar is nie ligskerms op sekere ligte nie. Die een badkamer se toiletbakdeksel is stukkend, jy kan jou hele hand daarin druk. Die ander badkamer se kraan loop die heeltyd en mens kry nie die kraan toe nie. Die toiletpapierhouer is los, die stortkoppe is walglik vuil. DStv-dekodeerder hang sommer net onder die TV - baie onnetjies. Die potte en panne is in 'n walglike toestand. In die boonste kamer was daar 'n vuil matras en laken wat in die hoek gestaan het. Ons sal nie weer in hierdie eenheid bly nie.

The unit is very neglected

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.

Mabalingwe self het verskeie aktiwiteite wat aangenaam was, maar die eenheid self skiet ver tekort. Die kombuis is karig toegerus. Die potte en panne in gehawende toestand. Daar is een plastiekbak, kan nie eens twee slaaie maak nie. Geen lappie om rakke mee af te vee nie, slegs een vadoek vir hele naweek. Beddegoed boonste vertrek was vuil. Krane wat lek. Elektriese plug in kombuis het een van ons gaste geskok. Ligte wat nie werk nie. Die dak lek verskriklik in al die kamers. Geen mop of besem, jy moet vra vir iets. Daar is miere orals, jy kan niks neersit nie. Ek verstaan ons is in die bos, maar daar kan gerus insekbeheer rondom huise gedoen word.

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. There are ants everywhere, you can't put anything down. I understand we are in the woods, but insect control can be done around houses.

Dit was 'n absolute teleurstellende week. Die eenheid was glad nie op standaard nie. Sal nooit weer by Elephant Lodge bly nie. Ons gaan baie Mabalingwe toe en bly in Kubu en Itaga, maar het gedink Elephant Lodge vir kinders is 'n goeie ligging.

Die dak het gelek, die kinders moes onder op 'n matras by hulle ouers slaap. Die badkamer onder en die boonste badkamer se kraankoppe was af. Die matras van die een bed in die onderste kamer se vere het gevoel asof dit deur kom as jy op die bed lê. Die microgolf is geroes en ons kon dit nie gebruik het nie. Ligte in die kamer is onvolledig met net 'n draad wat hang. Die deure van die kamer na buite kon nie oopmaak nie. Ek het baie foto's geneem en gaan dit op Hello Peter en al wat 'n media platvorm is sit om mense te waarsku, moenie julle geld mors op hierdie verblyf nie. Ons was nie die enigste mense daar wat ongelukkig was met die verblyf nie. Baie mense het gekla en die slegste van alles is ons het dit gerapporteer aan Christa en daar is niks aan gedoen nie. Vir wat ons betaal het vir die eenheid is dit 'n skande dat so 'n plek uitverhuur word.

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.

Heerlike wegbreek, rus vir jou siel.

Werklik 'n wegbreek waar mens heerlik kan rus en die natuur geniet. Olifante het paar 'n paar keer deur die kamp geloop - wat 'n belewenis! Daar is 'n paar goed wat reggemaak moet word in die eenheid, bv. krane wat lek en die kragpunte in die boonste kamer.

Great getaway, rest for your soul.

Truly a getaway where you can relax and enjoy nature. Elephants walked through the camp a few times - what an experience! There are some things that need fixing in the unit, eg. leaking taps and the power points in the upper room.

Comfortable place to visit.

The private boma offers a nice place to hang out around the barbecue fire. Unfortunately, it was raining when we were there and the roof over the porch does not offer enough shelter from the rain. The top floor's roof also leaked a bit.

Perfekte stil omgewing. Gasvry.

Mabalingwe se personeel was perfek. Ons was in Eagle geplaas. Badkamer en kombuisgereedskap was nie skoon. Krane werk nie reg. Eenheid se agent laks om beloftes na te kom.

Amazing! Beste kwaliteit en waarde vir geld.

Ek kan Mabalingwe Elephant Lodge unit 154 aan enige iemand aanbeveel. Skoon wit beddegoed, ruim kamers, vriendelike werkers. Die huis het alles wat mens benodig. Die huis was goed toegerus. Die olifante het ons besoek reg voor Unit 154 Kremetart. Die boma was perfek vir 'n gesellige laataand braai. Die kinders het natuurlik die swembad, putt-putt baan vreeslik geniet. Daar is iets van alles om te doen, wildritte, restaurant en vele meer. Diens was baie goed.

I can recommend Mabalingwe Elephant Lodge unit 154 to anyone. Clean white bedding, spacious rooms, friendly workers. The house has everything one needs. The house was well equipped. The elephants visited us right in front of Unit 154 Kremetart. The boma was perfect for a cozy late night barbecue. The children of course really enjoyed the pool, putt-putt course. There is something of everything to do, game drives, restaurant and many more. Service was very good.

Wegbreek.

Met die aankoms by die instansie was ons baie opgewonde. 'n Mens word onverwags verras met van die diere wat nou en dan kom hallo sê. Die eenheid se instandhouding en netheid het hom so bietjie in die steek gelaat en kan aandag verdien.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Sal definitief weer daar bly.

Paar herstel werkies word deur die plek benodig. Nie om negatief te wees nie. Boonste stortkop was maar karig met die water. Kort 'n skoonmaak (Stortkop). Boonste badkamerdeur se slot is gebreek. Deur kon nie toe nie. Ligte uit in boonste kamer, maar dit het regtig nie gepla nie. Ons het die verblyf daar baie geniet.

Gerieflike plekkie in die bos met iets vir die hele gesin.

Goed geleë. Wonderlike omgewing. Eenheid het genoeg spasie en al die basiese dinge wat mens nodig het. Baie oulike boma. Diens is goed en vining om enige probleme uit te sorteer. Gaan regtig uit hul pad om dinge gemaklik te maak vir jou gesin. Plekkie het so paar klein maintenance goedjies wat kan verbeter en kort hier en daar 'n ekstra glas of lepel ensovoorts, maar niks wat mens nie kan uitsorteer nie.

Omgewingsvriendelike en rustige atmosfeer. Natuurskoon is pragtig en personeel ontvanklik!

Gelukkig is ons nie bederfde mense nie anders kon ons oor 'n paar goedjies gekla het wat Unit 154 aanbetref. Dit kort definitief 'n bietjie opknapwerk. Die linne was immers baie skoon! Andersins het ons regtig lekker gebly en gekuier om die kampvuur met die wilde diere wat kort-kort kom groet. Ons het baie lekker geëet by die restaurant met besonder vriendelike personeel. In ag geneem die huidige droogte was die wildritte die moeite werd. Oor die algemeen 'n baie aangename ondervinding by Mabalingwe! Was die Kaap nie so ver nie, sou ons weer wil gaan!

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!

Dit was vuil! Geyser gebreek. Miere. Geen toiletpapier.

Skoonmaakdiens is pateties. Besems en lappe is vieslik. Die plek was baie vuil. Linne was gevlek en vol vismotte. Vloere was vuil en miere was oral! Daar was geen krag met ons aankoms nie en toe ons die kragbord ontdek tussen blikkies en ander rommel moes ons self uitvind die geyser trip die krag. Die maintenance span gebel. Hulle het 2 ure later kom kyk en beloof om dit die volgende dag te kom reg maak. Eers donker Saterdagaand is die geyser reggemaak. Stort se drein verstop. Vadoeke ooglopend vuil. Oral spinnekoprakke. Op die stoep lê 'n vuil swart sak met sakkie sement. Dit was aaklig!

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!

Die lodge was baie skoon en netjies en ons het heerlik gebly! Die diere het gereeld verby die lodge geloop en ons dogtertjie het ons gereeld geroep as hulle verbykom.

Lovey place but needs serious maintenance.

Lovely unit in great setting with some great interactions with big and small game. However, there is a list of things that need to be done to take this unit from okay to great. It wasn't clean and bathrooms had rings around the basins, spider webs that seem to have been there for years as well. Ants everywhere and in the kitchen cupboards. Almost all the lights don't work. The showers are blocked and upstairs tap broken and no water pressure or cold water upstairs particularly. Kitchen cupboard door hanging off and for a 6 sleeper there were only 5 plates and 2 wine glasses. Also no corkscrew or salad or chip bowls of any description and the frying pan was rusted badly. Doors are also difficult to open and close. These are all things that are easily fixed before charging people money to stay.

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

Bietjie teleurgesteld.

Het regtig groot verwagtinge gehad van die plek aangesien ek R2000 'n nag betaal het. Regtig 'n baie mooi plek, maar daar is net te veel wat verkeerd geloop het. Braailig nie gewerk nie. Chalet het nie warmwater gehad nie. Yskas sukkel om koud te word. Stoof word nie warm nie. Die Chalet het sleg geruik na die nuwe gordyne wat hulle ingesit het. Ek moet bysê dat ons agent was baie hulpvaardig was en die eerste paar probleme uitgesorteer, maar was nog steeds frustrerend dat niks gewerk het soos dit moes nie. Sal vir seker weer Mabalingwe Elephant Lodge toe gaan maar net nie by 154 Kremetart nie.

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.

'n Uitstekende plek om saam met vriende of volwasse kinders te kuier.

Ons was 'n gesin met volwasse kinders wat saam gekuier het. Die eenheid het 'n bietjie onderhoud nodig (soos bv. storte was verstop), maar die eenheid is so goed ingerig met 3 badkamers dat 'n mens steeds goed reggekom het. Kamers heerlik privaat en kuier-areas baie gesellig. Eenheid gerieflik geleë op oord en stapafstand van swembad en kiosk. Privaat boma-area sorg vir heerlike laataandkuiers om die vuur. Sal vir seker weer graag teruggaan.

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.
