No TV. Water and swimming pool was not working.

I think the tents are better and they must allow game drives.

We were the only people at the Tent Camp, so it was peaceful and very accommodating. The staff was very friendly and helpful when needed.

Directions sent to me were very confusing, we ended up driving to Lephalale first and then another 1:30 min to where Google Maps was saying, but it still took us to the wrong farm gate. We found it on our own driving up the road. Clearer directions need to be given, please.

Uitdagend maar lekker.

Voorsiening van funksie se aandete was uit die boeke - heerlike kos! Wanta het baie moeite gedoen en ons het die volgende dag ook nog gesmul! Funksie-area en kombuis by tentkamp is 'n heerlike kuierplek vir groot groepe - lekker privaat en was altyd baie netjies skoon en tafels elke oggend en aand baie mooi gedek! Hulp in die kombuis en kamp is baie fluks teen ekstra fooitjie. Al die kamers (van al die eenhede), was altyd baie mooi skoon en smaakvol versorg met pragtige moderne beddegoed en handdoeke ens. Familie oonstel het geen lugverkoeling nie - word ook so geadverteer - maar het ongelukkig 'n asbesdak met geen plafon nie. Dit voel soos 'n kookoond daar binne. Die hout word geadverteer 'n krat hout elke dag, maar is nie altyd genoeg nie. Die hek by die hoofingang moet met die hand oopgeskuif word (nie 'n probleem nie), maar die hek is baie swaar en oud (hak vas), dus word dit oopgelos en beteken dat enige persoon van buite af (asook kriminele) kan inkom en in die areas inbeweeg. Dit het nie gebeur nie, maar was 'n groot bekommernis terwyl ons daar was. Wanta is 'n flukse gasvrou en hardloop heeltyd rond om haar gaste tevrede te hou. Sy probeer haar bes om by alles uit te kom, maar ernstige instandhouding nodig. Tentkamp en familiekamer, asook kothuise by die swembad se toilette en storte het nie almal gewerk nie - waterpype wat breek en konstante probleme met waterdruk en toilette wat nie spoel nie. Stortkoppe wat verkalk is en van die geisers ook stukkend. Ons het lekker gekuier, dis 'n pragtige plek vir groot groepe, net jammer ons moes baklei oor waterprobleme.

Challenging but fun.

Provision of function's dinner was off the books - delicious food! Wanta made a lot of effort and we had a good time the next day too! Function area and kitchen at tent camp is a lovely meeting place for large groups - nice and private and was always very neatly clean and tables very nicely set every morning and evening! Help in the kitchen and camp is very prompt for an extra tip. All the rooms (of all the units) were always very nicely clean and tastefully furnished with beautiful modern bedding and towels etc. Family oonset has no air cooling - is also advertised as such - but unfortunately has an asbestos roof with no ceiling. It feels like a cooking oven in there. The wood is advertised a crate of wood every day, but is not always enough. The gate at the main entrance has to be pushed open by hand (not a problem) but the gate is very heavy and old (heel stuck) so it is left open and means any person from outside (as well as criminals) can enter and move into the areas. This didn't happen but was a major concern while we were there. Wanta is a fluent hostess and is constantly running around to keep her guests happy. She tries her best to get to everything, but needs serious maintenance. Tent camp and family room, as well as cottages by the pool toilets and showers were all not working - water pipes breaking and constant problems with water pressure and toilets not flushing. Shower heads that are calcified and some of the geysers are also broken. We had a great time, it's a beautiful place for large groups, just a shame we had to fight about water problems.

Perfect Bushveld experience.

If you're looking for peace, tranquility and isolation, Motsomi is a perfect place to escape from the rat race. The camp and tents are well appointed, and the staff keeps everything neat and clean. Wanta was a perfect hostess, and went out of her way to help us. A big thank you Wanta and Hennie for sharing their bit of heaven with us.

Die verblyf en alles wat net een woord: awesome.

Ons as familie het 'n wonderlike naweek gehad. Die verblyf asook die diens was uit die boonste rakke. Ek beveel Motsomi Lodge aan vir enige iemand wat net 'n rustige tyd in die bosveld wil geniet. Die eienaars laat jou tuis voel en die diens is fantasties. Sal definitief weer teruggaan!

The accommodation and everything just one word: awesome.

We as a family had a wonderful weekend. The accommodation as well as the service were top notch. I recommend Motsomi Lodge to anyone who just wants to enjoy some quiet time in the bush. The owners make you feel at home and the service is fantastic. Will definitely go back again!

Dit was heerlik.

Ons het wonderlik gekuier. Dit is rustig en stil en daar is alles wat jou hart begeer om lekker te kan kuier. Madelein en ons gasheer en gasvrou was vriendelik en het moeite gedoen om ons gesellig te laat kuier. Daar is net 1 ding wat onthou moet word en dit is dat Thabazimbi regtig gepla word met kragonderbrekings.

It was lovely.

We had a great visit. Relaxing and quiet with everything your heat could desire for a nice break. Madelein and our host and hostess were friendly and went to some lengths to make our stay great. There was only one thing that bothered us which is that Thabazimbi is plagued by power cuts.

Oortref verwagtinge!

Wanta was baie gasvry en die gehalte van fasiliteite is baie hoog. My dogters het die naweek baie geniet. Volgende keer gebruik ons die tentkampe.

Bietjie duur vir wat dit bied.

Ons het grootliks verblyf gesoek vir een nag omrede ons vir 'n troue daar was die Saterdagmiddag en 'n Doop die volgende oggend. Die volgende oggend toe ons wou stort en klaarmaak vir die kerkdiens was daar geen water in die krane nie. As ons die koue kraan oopdraai het slegs 'n straaltjie warm water uitgekom. Moet sê, die eienaars het hul bes probeer om die probleem reg te stel. Volgens hulle was daar 'n kragonderbreking deur die loop van die aand wat die waterpompe buite werking gestel het. Ook sal ons voorstel dat hulle ten minste 'n tafel saam met die yskas-gedeelte sit aangesien dit selfsorg is en jy nêrens plek het om net jou broodjies te smeer nie. Die plekkie is netjies, maar vir die prys per persoon en dit wat die eenheid bied is dit bietjie duur.

A bit expensive for what it offers.

We were mainly looking for accommodation for one night because we had a wedding there on Saturday afternoon and a Baptism the next morning. The next morning when we wanted to shower and get ready for the church service there was no water in the taps. When we turned on the cold tap, only a trickle of hot water came out. Must say, the owners tried their best to fix the problem. According to them, there was a power outage during the evening which put the water pumps out of action. We would also suggest that they at least put a table with the fridge section as it is self-catering and you have nowhere to just spread your buns. The place is neat, but for the price per person and what the unit offers it is a bit expensive.

Zelna, baie dankie vir jul lojaliteit, ons beoog altyd die beste om vir ons kliënte die beste diens te verskaf. Soms gebeur daar iets wat buite ons beheer is, dankie dat jul verstaan. Wat die gerief in die kamers aanbetref, is dit slegs toegerus met yskaste en tee- en koffie-maak geriewe, die groot ten volle toegeruste kombuis is beskikbaar vir elke gas, of hy net oornag of 'n paar dae oorbly. Dankie, dit was vir ons aangenaam om jul en jul ouers te ontmoet.
