Rustig, weg van die stad af, vind jouself in die natuurskoon.

Dit was 'n fantastiese naweek wegbreek. Ons wens dat ons langer kon bly.

Quiet, away from the city, find yourself in the natural beauty.

It was a fantastic weekend getaway. We wish we could stay longer.

Wonderful long weekend away.

We had the most amazing time at Mount Sheba Rainforest Hotel and Resort. Everything ran smoothly, our room was gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the staff are so friendly and helpful. (A special mention must be made about Mavis; she is a gem!)

Onbeskryflik mooi en elke sent werd!

Wat 'n ongelooflike plekkie in die mis. Natuurskoon op sy beste. Die verblyf was uitsonderlik en diens onvergeetlik. Almal vriendelik, vanaf aankoms tot vertrek.

A superb stay will definitely be back!

What a superb lodge, customer care is amazing, beautiful surroundings, delicious food and rooms extremely comfortable! Turn down service is a huge bonus when your electric blanket is on when you get back from dinner! The road to the lodge is a little bit of a challenge if you don't have a car with clearance, not impossible just a little rough! But a beautiful scenic drive!

Gesellig, veilig en rustig.

Ons het een nag oorgebly, 'n groep van 18 persone. Ek kan Mount Sheba gerus aanbeveel. Alhoewel ouerig, was dit netjies en skoon.

'n Mooi natuurskoon oord. Uitstekende diens. Mooiste woud.

Die oord is soos 'n versteekte skat. Reg geleë. Hele oord word goed in stand gehou. Beslis 4 ster akkommodasie.

Short break with family.

This is a very picturesque place to stay, with lots of local attractions nearby and things to do on the estate. The weather wasn't very good for us, but we were still able to go on 2 of the hikes and enjoy the scenery and wildlife. The road to the resort is a bit difficult (not tarmac) but we were warned about this in advance.

Dear James,
Thank you very much for your rating and feedback which is much appreciated.
It is such a pleasure to read that our guests have enjoyed their stay with us.
We do hope that you will return to visit us again and hopefully the weather will play along to make your stay even better than the first one.
Warm Regards,

Dit was heerlik.

Kos is heerlik. Kaggel in kamer en eetkamer was 'n plus gewees. Staproetes was mooi en die watervalle ook mooi. Bestuur is hulpvaardig en sal miskien net aanbeveel dat die pad na die lodge gekyk word na.

It was delicious.

Food is delicious. Fireplace in room and dining room was a plus. Hiking trails were beautiful and the waterfalls also beautiful. Management is helpful and would perhaps just recommend that the road to the lodge be looked at.

Beste Ben,
Baie dankie vir u terugvoer, dit word opreg waardeer.
Ek is bly dat u dit geniet het by ons.
Die grondpad is ongelukkig nie ons pad nie, net die laaste 3 km. Ons bure het groot trokke wat gereeld op die pad ry. Ons probeer ons bes om die pad so goed as moontlik in stand te hou, deur die gate toe te vul, maar dit bly 'n aanlopende werk.
Vriendelike groete,
Tania

Katastrofies

Dit het ons langer as 'n uur geneem om in te teken. Met aankoms was ons ingelig van 'n R500 breekdeposito wat nie vooraf aan ons gekomminukeer is nie. Hulle het vir ons 'n inspeksielys gegee. Met aankoms by die eenheid het ons deur die lys gegaan. Daar was 5 items nie daar nie. Ons het dit dadelik aangemeld by ontvangs. Die houding wat ons van bestuur ontvang het was power en het veel te wense oorgelaat. Ons is verwittig dat die inspeksielys en breekdeposito daar is omdat hulle gaste gereeld steel. Ons het daarop aangedring dat iemand saam ons na die eenheid gaan om seker te maak van wat daar is in die eenheid en die inspeksielys te korrigeer voor ons eienaarskap vat. My aanbeveling sal wees sou iemand besluit om hier te oornag om ook iemand te kry wat die inspeksielys kan verifieer voor jy eienaarskap vat oor die eenheid vir die durasie van jou verblyf. Verder is die eenheid netjies gewees.

Catastrophic

It took us over an hour to log in. On arrival we were informed of a R500 breaking deposit which was not communicated to us beforehand. They gave us an inspection list. Upon arrival at the unit we went through the list. There were 5 items not there. We reported it immediately upon receipt. The attitude we received from management was power and left much to be desired. We were informed that the inspection list and breakage deposit is there because they steal from guests regularly. We insisted that someone go with us to the unit to make sure of what is in the unit and correct the inspection list before we take ownership. My recommendation would be if anyone decides to stay here to also get someone to verify the inspection list before you take ownership of the unit for the duration of your stay. Furthermore, the unit was tidy.

Beste Meneer Benade
Baie dankie vir 'n terugvoer.
Dit is nie net ons wat 'n deposito vra nie, ons bure Crystal Springs vra ook 'n deposito en baie ander akkommodasies waar ek self al gebly het. Jammer u is nie vooraf van die deposito ingelig nie, die ontvangsdames het u probeer skakel, maar geen antwoord gekry nie.
Ek kan glad nie onthou dat ek vir u gese het dat ons gaste gereeld steel nie, want dit is glad nie die geval nie. Ek het mooi vir u verduidelik dat ons dit moes implimenteer, omdat daar soms iets weg raak. Ek het gereel dat die Toesighouer van die Cottages saam met u deur die lys gaan, want soms kan die skoonmaker 'n fout maak.
Ek vertrou u vind dit in orde.
Vriendelike groete

Memorable.

Really enjoyed our stay. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Bed linen and towels were a bit stained and could possibly be checked prior to guest arrival. The views and tranquility were fantastic and we enjoyed our stay.

Dear Ronel,
Thank you for your rating and feedback.
I am glad that you have enjoyed your stay with us.
I do apologize for the linen and towels. We are definitely going to replace the old ones with new linen and towels.
