We were looking for tranquility and we found it!
If you are looking for tranquility, only sounds of nature, then you will love this! Here is a dirt road that you have to drive, which is in good condition. Low vehicles may struggle to drive up to the top of the chalets! No plugs in rooms, just take a long lead! We did find the tranquility we were looking for here!

The chalet was dark and we felt claustrophobic inside. You are cut off completely from the outside, world can't even hear a radio. Pool was green , water flow in taps and shower extremely low pressure it dribbled out.

Hi Andrea,
Unfortunately, we are a bush lodge and when you visit us we will be far away from the hustle and bustle as stated in our description.
Hopefully, in future, we can make your experience a bit better.
We are not able to refund as stated in our policy, the booking was confirmed and last minute cancellations won't be refunded as we closed calendars for you and showed other guests away.
Have a great day.
Kind regards, Hope Greef.

Good hostess; Standard accommodation.
We only spent one night at Magalies Bush Lodge. Elisabeth went out of her way to accommodate us with requests at short notice. Accommodation is fairly standard (not luxurious) but still comfortable with all essentials. The private braai areas at each cottage are a bonus. Unfortunately there was an unplanned power outage from the evening until we left the next morning. Two of our guests are dependent on oxygen machines during the night and therefore we were not able to fully enjoy the break away optimally. Elisabeth kept us informed about the power outage (which was out of their control). The children really enjoyed the pig!

It was a great peaceful weekend, loved the fact that there was no TV, it would have hindered the whole atmosphere.
We stayed in the stone house (springbok), everything was very neat and clean and there was everything we needed. It was truly just what was needed for a weekend getaway, the quietness and privacy of the cottage was wonderful. We also really enjoyed the walk to the lookout point, unfortunately we didn't see any wildlife but the friendly pig herd who came to tell us tomorrow on Saturday morning made up for it. She made us feel right at home. We really enjoyed the weekend, I would just like to make 2 suggestions, firstly it would help a lot if there could just be a freezer with ice on the premises for guests to buy ice there so you don't need to to drive, secondly I would like to suggest that 2 of the cots should be replaced with a double bed. But otherwise everything was perfect and Kenny was very helpful and his wife came to tidy up our place nicely on Saturday morning. Many thanks to Magalies Bush Lodge, we will definitely visit again.

Ook baie dankie vir die voorstelle. Ons sal sommer dadelik plan maak met ys. Die dubbelbed gaan waarskynlik bietjie langer vat om te kry. Weereens dankie.

Quiet, tidy, bush, quiet and private.
Our two young teens could literally go wild without worrying about disturbing other guests. The units are private from the other. We had to choose Rooibok because we drove a sedan but were very pleased. Although we did not walk to the look-out point and didn't see any wildlife, it was great to be surrounded by forest. We watched beautiful stars, braaied, swam and walked. Kenny made sure everything around the pool and play area were clean and the morning cleaning of the chalet was a bonus. The chalet is equipped with basic equipment, but we did not miss anything. The giant sow that walked around came to visit us, the children loved her. We will visit Magalies Bush Lodge again. The silence did us well.

Very peaceful and quiet, comfortable clean accommodation. We enjoyed it very much.
The accommodation was clean and comfortable and Kenny helpful and friendly. The sunsets were beautiful and we enjoyed walking in the woods, just a shame the paths are not well signposted. Plates fell off in rain/wind. Although we only saw 3 springboks, enjoyed the rest in nature.

Bushveld weekend!
We were 5 adults and 4 children. Mercy received us kindly. The 2 chalets were neat and clean. We thoroughly enjoyed the visit around the fire (forest TV). On Saturday we ventured into the cold pool and had a nice swim. Although it rained on Saturday night, we still had a chance to grill and eat our meat. The weekend just went by too quickly we didn't even get to the waterhole or lookout point. We will definitely visit the Lodge again.

Soul refreshing.
The unit was neat with a lovely braai area. Everything was clean except for the kitchen - everything still had food from previous guests and the microwave was coated with dirt. Apart from this we really enjoyed our weekend. We would just recommend informing guests beforehand that target shooting is practiced on the neighbouring farm. The constant shooting taking place just metres form us was not pleasant. Just a warning beforehand would've helped. Would definitely come visit again in the bushveld. Thank you.

Excellent.
With this, on behalf of my parents and my family I would like to thank you for a lovely stay. Everybody really enjoyed it and especially the feeding of the bush pigs. It's not everyday that townies (excluding my sons and I - hunters) get to experience something like this. Everything was perfect and of excellent quality. Wouldn't have changed a thing. Just sorry the rain caught us on Saturday and that the floor was dirty because of it. I recommend you put a mop in each unit. Be sure we'll visit again!

It was a disappointment: We got a smaller unit with worse facilities than what we booked for.
I booked the bigger Bosbok (was confirmed) but the small Bosbok was allocated to me. The unit doesn't have a lounge and no comfortable chairs inside or at the lapa. The photo on the page is confusing because the view is not seen from the houses and only from the look-out point.
