Natuurskoon op sy beste!

Vergeet van die see! Gegaan vir besigheid en het die beste tyd gehad. Bos en rivier op sy beste. Heerlike restaurant en kuierkroeg. Dankie vir julle gasvryheid!

Nice.

I had a late check-in but was in contact with the host so I could order dinner while I was on the way. Easy code entrance. Roomy, clean and cosy accommodation. Nice that I could check the birds by the river first thing in the morning.

Hemel op aarde.

Ons verblyf was aangenaam. Die personeel was vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die kos was heerlik. Dit is so rustig en stil by Makoppas Nest. En baie wild. Die sebras wat op die grasperk kom wei, was baie spesiaal.

As ons kan, sal ons weer soontoe gaan en beslis langer bly.

Wat 'n wonderlike plek as jy van die stad af wil wegkom. Ongelukkig is die pad soontoe 'n nagmerrie, maar as jy eers daar is, is dit die rustigheid self. Die selfsorgfasiliteite is uit die boonste rakke en as die restaurant maak baie lekker kos.

If we can, we will go there again and definitely stay longer.

What a great place if you want to get away from the city. Unfortunately, the road there is a nightmare, but once you're there, it's tranquility itself. The self-catering facilities are top notch and the restaurant makes very good food.

Netjiese verblyf en heerlike kos.

Ons het dit baie geniet om daar te bly. Die kos was uitsonderlik lekker en bekostigbaar. Het heerlik om die vuur gekuier en Delmarie was 'n uitstekende gasvrou. Was vir ons lekker om saam met haar die lammetjies en eland te voer. Sal beslis weer daar oorbly wanneer ons in daardie omgewing reis.

We really enjoyed staying there. The food was exceptionally tasty and affordable. Had a great time around the fire and Delmarie was an excellent hostess. It was fun for us to feed the lambs and moose with her. Will definitely stay there again when we travel in that area.

Pragtige ligging, ontspannend, gawe mense en lekker etes.

Makoppas is 'n heerlike plek om te oornag vir reisigers op pad Botswana toe. Lieflike koeltebome en 'n pragtige rivier. Hope braaihout en braaiplekke vir die selfsorg-mense!

Klein Paradys.

Wat 'n klein paradys in die middel van nêrens. Die plekkie is mooier as wat foto's kan beskryf. Die eienaars is vriendelik en behulpsaam en my man kon sy stap inkry en ek het seker 10 voëltjies by my lysie gevoeg alhoewel daar baie meer is.
