Quiet with breathtaking view.
Beautiful surroundings, incredibly peaceful. Very private. Jacuzzi is a hit. We stayed in Flintstone cottage and the view is breathtaking. House is not luxurious but meets everything you need. Was regularly visited by squirrels, badgers and a cute, perky vole. If you want to get away from it all this is definitely the place for you.

It's the place to rest your soul.
Madikela is definitely a place where you can rest and enjoy the silence of the forest. The game lodge is very nice and tidy. We saw a giraffe right in front of our porch. The lodge has everything one needs - could only do with extra lights during load shedding. Maybe some solar lights outside the farm and one in the house. There was a small light inside which didn't help. Could also do with a stronger light at the braai area. The games room does have a pool table but the table is very damaged and the pool sticks are broken, balls are mixed and no triangle. Maybe consider bringing in more stuff to keep teenagers busy. Also be aware that there is no shop nearby - so take everything you will need with you.

Madikela Game Lodge 's response
The fridge in Sandstone does not need replacing. You are aware of the hours of load shedding and when guests arrive they put a lot of items in the fridge and while unpacking usually leave the fridge door open. It takes a long time for the fridge to make up for all the warm and cool items which have been placed in the fridge.

Comfortable accommodation in the beautiful woodland. Surrounded by very friendly badgers, squirrels, lizards, kudus, impalas, blue wildebeest and zebras. When was the last time you had the privilege of enjoying the sunrise from your bed with a nice hot cup of coffee in hand. We were fortunate to see 13 species of birds with most at the bird bath on our front porch. The Jacuzzi was an absolute winner. If you are looking for tranquility for your mind and wonderful times with your loved one, this is the place for you. We will definitely stop by again.

Unforgettable. Silence, view, peaceful.
I was very surprised to find such a beautiful place, much more beautiful than the photos, here in my beloved Bosveld. It is definitely a place for anyone who just wants to experience peace and quiet. Maybe just one suggestion - please keep it up. ice cream to sell to guests! Carol, see you soon!

Beautiful surroundings. We saw a lot of wildlife and were able to enjoy walking and cycling. Even though there was a lot of sand!
It was nice to take our little dog along for a walk. The Jaccuzi was a winner among the children. The house was nicely furnished and far enough from the other houses.

Great place for a getaway and not too far from other cities. Equipment sufficient and friendly reception. For those who still want to watch DStv in the evenings, feel free to bring your pocket router, because there was reception at my unit, Kingfisher. I would love to visit Madikela again.

The most peaceful 3 days I've had in a long time.
I rated safety low. With all the murders on farms, it's a bit worrying that there are no burglar bars or security doors to keep you safe when you sleep. So alone there in the forest one felt quite a bit vulnerable. But... would I go there again? Yes, I will go to Kingfisher again and hope for the best, because it was very nice! I just hope that safety gets a little better in the meantime. Maybe we're just Bang Jan from the city, but we can't get the thought out of our heads.

Not at all as advertised.
Chalet has no dam view as promised. Staring against trees. Mattress slept on bed cavities. No top sheet. Carpets dirty and full of stains. Boiler wire poorly welded. No tongs. Owner brings another kettle and tongs. Knives, forks and spoons are handled dirty and are not a set. Seating inside chalet is white plastic chairs and table. No comfortable seating inside. Day 2, toilet flushes. They pump the sewage behind the chalet in the field (oh yes, at least they covered the pump-out cell with a layer of soil). We went home a day early. Sorry, but I'm definitely not going to recommend you.

We saw a lot of animals. The water bowl for the birds right on the patio is a great idea as we have seen so many bird species. The privacy is what we really needed. And finally, the view from the Jacuzzi is one of the reasons we will definitely go back.

Peace of mind
We enjoyed our stay and will go back again in the future. All the basic kitchen necessities are there, but we are of the opinion that the quality of the kitchenware could be improved. Our unit (Nightjar) has e.g. had no steak knives and the number of coffee cups does not reflect the number of guests who can sleep there. We also feel that an additional ceiling fan covering the kitchen and master bedroom would be a valuable addition. We also want to suggest that Madikela's management invest in a commercial type ice machine because the freezer compartment is a bit on the small side which makes it a bit difficult to store ice.

A nice place with many high points, but also some low points.
We stayed 4 nights in the Bushwillow Cottage. The facilities outside the cottage are excellent. We spent 90% of our time on the wooden deck and in the Jacuzzi. The cottage itself was clean and well equipped. The bathroom was beautiful, but the rest of the unit felt tired and cramped. The white plastic table and chairs in the dining/TV room were very uncomfortable. We also really enjoyed the communal pool although the changing rooms are not cleaned regularly.

More beautiful than the photos.
We stayed in Sandstone and what a great experience. It rained all weekend, but it didn't bother us. It's a lovely canopy on the wooden porch and the view is absolutely stunning. The Jacuzzi was very nice and warm so we could light a fire, Jacuzzi and hang out all in one while the rain poured down. There are an incredible number of birds and the birdsong was beautiful, as well as owls at sunset. We heard lions roaring in the distance in the evening which made it more special. The unit was very neat and had everything we needed. The dirt road was very easy, even if you don't have a 4x4. The units are very private and I would definitely recommend Sandstorm. We will definitely go back and visit Madikela again and next time we want to try Flinstone. You will not be disappointed.
