Ons het gesoek na rustigheid en ons het dit gevind!

As jy soek na rustigheid, net geluide van die natuur, dan sal jy hiervan hou! Hier is 'n grondpad wat jy moet ry, wat in goeie stand is. Lae voertuie gaan dalk sukkel om tot bo te ry by die chalets! Geen proppe in kamers, vat maar 'n lang lead! Die rustigheid waarna ons gesoek het, het ons wel hier gekry!

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!

Went with 6 and 3 year old boys, they had fun to the fullest. Hiking, swimming and the beautiful sky at night in the dark. No music, no TV, so it was an amazing experience for them. We enjoyed it, relaxed and refreshed.

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.

Only one plug port in kitchen, nothing in rooms. My partner has breathing difficulty in early morning so had to get to the nearest hospital for oxygen, informed the owner, we arrived 3pm Monday left Tuesday at 9:30 am he was not willing to refund R700 for the 2nd day. So it was a disappointing one night when it should have been 2 nights. Only nice thing was I was able to do the hike. It's fast out and long distance gravel roads.

Magalies Bush Lodge 's response

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.

Goeie gasvrou; Standaard akkommodasie.

Ons het slegs een aand oornag by Magalies Bush Lodge. Elisabeth het uit haar pad gegaan om ons tegemoet te kom met versoeke op kort kennisgewing. Verblyf is redelik standaard (nie luuks nie), maar steeds gerieflik met alle noodsaaklikhede. Die privaat braai-areas by elke huisie is 'n bonus. Daar was ongelukkig 'n onbeplande krag-onderbreking vanaf die aand totdat ons vertrek het die volgende oggend. Twee van ons gaste is afhanklik van suurstofmasjiene gedurende die nag en dus kon ons nie ten volle die wegbreek optimaal geniet nie. Elisabeth het ons deurentyd op hoogte gehou van die kragonderbreking (wat buite hul beheer was). Die kinders het die vark baie geniet!

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!

Dit was 'n wonderlike rustige naweek, mal oor die feit dat daar geen TV was nie, dit sou die hele atmosfeer belemmer.

Ons het in die kliphuisie (springbok) tuisgegaan, alles was baie netjies en skoon en daar was alles wat ons nodig gehad het. Dit was voorwaar net wat nodig was vir 'n wegbreeknaweek, die stilte en privaatheid van die huisie was wonderlik. Ons het die stap na die uitkykpunt ook baie geniet, ongelukkig het ons geen wild gesien nie maar die vriendelike varksog wat vir ons kom môre sê het Saterdagoggend het daarvoor opgemaak. Sy het ons sommer tuis laat voel. Ons het die naweek werlklik baie geniet, ek sal net graag 2 voorstelle wil maak, eerstens sal dit nogal help as daar dalk net 'n vrieskas met ys op die perseel kan wees vir gaste om ys daar te kan koop sodat mens nie nodig het om te ry nie, tweedens wil ek voorstel dat 2 van die bedjies vervang moet word met 'n dubbelbed. Maar verder was alles perfek en Kenny was baie behulpsaam en sy vrou het ons plekkie mooi kom opruim Saterdagoggend. Baie dankie aan Magalies Bush Lodge, ons gaan vir seker weer kom kuier.

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.

Rustig, netjies, bos, stilte en privaat.

Ons twee jong tieners kon letterlik bos gaan, sonder dat ons bekommerd hoef te wees om ander gaste te steur. Die eenhede is privaat van die ander. Ons moes Rooibok kies, omdat ons met 'n sedan gery het, maar was baie tevrede. Alhoewel ons nie na die uitkyk gestap het nie en geen wild gesien het nie, was dit heerlik om omring te wees deur net bos. Ons het heerlik sterre gekyk, gebraai, swem en stap. Kenny het seker gemaak alles rondom die swembad en speelarea was skoon en die oggend opruim van die chalet was 'n bonus. Die chalet is net met die basiese toegerus, maar ons het niks kort gekom nie. Die reuse sog wat rondloop het ons kom besoek, die kinders was mal oor haar. Ons sal Magalies Bush Lodge weer besoek; die stilte het ons goed gedoen.

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.

Baie rustig en stil, gerieflike skoon verblyf. Ons het dit baie geniet.

Die verblyf was skoon en gerieflik en Kenny behulpsaam en vriendelik. Die sonsondergange was pragtig en ons het dit geniet om in die bosse te loop, net jammer die paadjies is nie goed aangedui nie. Borde het afgeval in reën/wind. Alhoewel ons net 3 springbokke gesien het, het die ruskansie in die natuur geniet.

Not was I was hoping for. Disappointed.

The place is ideal for a group visit, and the road from the main road is really not ideal for sedans. The directions are given after payments are done therefore makes it very difficult to change our mind once you are aware of the place and the area. There is a stove without an oven. The place is ideal for camping.

Dis 'n besonderse area met die oulikste leefruimtes. Die beste ding van die plek is die selfsorg-simplisiteit. Dis tipies bosveld met baie goeie staproetes. Dis bietjie ver van enige nabygeleë dorpies maar dis mos ideaal vir 'n wegbreek!

Bosveld-naweek!

Ons was 5 grootmense en 4 kinders. Mercy het ons vriendelik ontvang. Die 2 chalets was netjies en skoon. Ons het die kuier om die vuur (bosveld-TV) terdeë geniet. Saterdag het ons die koue swembad aangedurf en lekker geswem. Alhoewel dit toe Saterdagaand gereën het, het ons tog kans gehad om ons vleisie te braai en te eet. Die naweek het net te vinnig verby gegaan ons het nie eers by die watergat of uitkykpunt uitgekom nie. Ons sal beslis weer die Lodge besoek.

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.

Rustigheid vir die siel.

Die eenheid was netjies met 'n heerlike braai-area. Als was skoon behalwe vir die kombuis - als was vol kos van vorige gaste en die mikrogolfoond was baie vuil en aangepak. Anders as die laasgenoemde het ons die naweek baie geniet. Ons sal miskien net voorstel dat jul gaste in kennis gestel word dat daar moontlik op die aangrensende plaas teiken geskiet kan word. Die aanhoudende skote wat afegaan binne meters van ons was nogal onaangenaam. Net 'n vooraf waarskuwing sou help. Ons sal wel beslis weer kom kuier in die bosveld! Dankie.

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.

Uitstekend.

Hiermee wil ek net namens my ouers en familie baie dankie sê vir ‘n wonderlike kuier. Almal het dit terdeë geniet en veral die voer van die bosvarke. Nie aldag dat dorpsjapies (ek, seuns uitgesluit –jagters) so iets beleef het nie. Alles was perfek en van uitstekende gehalte. Sou niks anders wou hê nie. Net jammer die reën het ons Saterdag gevang en die vloer vuil getrap. Kon nie die vloer was nie. Stel voor jy sit ‘n mop in elke eenheid. Wees verseker ons kom gou weer kuier!

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!

Dit was 'n teleurstelling: Ons het 'n kleiner woonplek met swakker fasiliteite gekry as wat ons bespreek het.

Ek het die groter Bosbok bespreek (was bevestig) maar die klein Rooibok is aan my toegeken. Die eenheid het geen sitkamer nie en geen gemaklike stoele van enige aard was binne of by die lapa beskikbaar nie. Die foto op die oorsig bladsy is misleidend aangesien die uitsig nie van die huisies beskikbaar is nie en slegs van die uitkyk punt.

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.

Ek vra groot om verskoning vir die dubbel bespreking - Ek sal seker maak dit gebeur nie weer nie en het dus die naam Blesbok na Rooibok verander.
