Rustigheid net buite die stad.

Daar was werklik geen probleem by die lodge nie. Die personeel is baie vriendelik en het ons baie gemaklik laat voel. Die enigste teleurstelling was die feit dat ons juis by Ndlovu bespreek het omdat dit volgens Google Maps net 5 min se ry vanaf Monte De Dios is waar ons 'n funksie bygewoon het. Ongelukkig het 'n bruggie weg gespoel 'n geruime tyd terug en moes ons 'n 25 km ompad ry tussen die funksie en Ndlovu. Dit gesê sal ek vir seker weer in die toekoms by hulle gaan oorslaap.

Tranquility just outside the city.

There was really no problem at the lodge. The staff are very friendly and made us feel very comfortable. The only disappointment was the fact that we booked at Ndlovu because according to Google Maps it was only a 5 minute drive from Monte De Dios where we were attending a function. Unfortunately a bridge washed away some time ago and we had to take a 25 km detour between the function and Ndlovu. That said, I will definitely stay at their place again in the future.

Net nodig gewees vir oorslaap.

Die stad is baie duur, veral hierdie area. Maar goeie en vinnige blyplek met pragtige omgewing.

Just needed for a sleepover.

The city is very expensive, especially this area. But a good and quick place to stay with beautiful surroundings.

Despite the little things up here, we had a very nice stay.

Well located and host Gevan was very friendly and helpful. Beautiful location although when you are outside the traffic on Lynwood Road can be a bit noisy in the distance and then you lose the feeling of nature. Swimming pool area beautiful. Everyone was helpful and friendly. . The following feedback: 1. Dinner was very tasty. 2. Bar has limited choices and for example did not have any sherry. 3. The bartender also needs some training and for example blew a dirty glass clean with the coffee steamer and wiped the bar cloth clean in front of us and also removed a mosquito with a straw, still in the wrapper, from one of the drinks and still gave it to us while we stood and watched everything - not 4 star. 4. The fireplace in the room only had two large pieces of wood and after asking we did get one more smaller piece of wood and a very small piece of "Blitz" - so making a fire was impossible. 5. There was limited coffee in the can and no milk. 6. There were also no glasses in the room, but there were two bottles of water. But we did have a great time - Daniie.

Ek het nie sleg geslaap nie.

Die badkamerdeur bly nie toe nie en ek kan hom nie op knip sit nie. Die stortkop moes ek eers afhaal en skoonmaak. Badsout was nog oop van vorige gaste in die bad, so 'n ou takeaway lepel. Die ketel in die kamer was bruin binne. Daar is 2 banke in die kamer en bo by jou kop is hulle bruin/swart, lyk baie vuil. In die kamer het ons die kaggel aangesteek, hulle kamer het gestink na rook/roet en ons het dit ook geruik.

I didn't sleep badly.

The bathroom door won't stay closed and I can't put it on the latch. I had to take the shower head off and clean it first. Bath salts were still left in the bath from previous guests, like an old takeaway spoon. The kettle in the room was brown inside. There are 2 sofas in the room and at the top of your head they are brown/black, look very dirty. In the room we lit the fireplace, their room stank of smoke/soot and we smelled it too.

Teleurstellend.

Ons het Ndlovu Lodge bespreek vir my man se 30ste verjaarsdag – ’n spesiale naweek waarna ons baie uitgesien het. Ongelukkig was die ervaring teleurstellend en glad nie op standaard vir die prysklas en beskrywing van die verblyf nie. Bespreking en kamerindeling: Ek het via die webtuiste ’n premium kamer bespreek. Later is ek deur Ndlovu Lodge meegedeel dat daar slegs standaardkamers beskikbaar is. Ek het toe gevra vir ’n opgradering na ’n luukse eenheid, en toe kry ek die teenstrydige antwoord vanaf Ndlovu Lodge dat daar slegs premium kamers beskikbaar is – presies wat ek oorspronklik bespreek het. Ná ek die webtuiste gekontak het en daar met Ndlovu Lodge bevestig is dat ons wel ’n premium kamer sou ontvang, is ons by aankoms egter in ’n familie-eenheid geplaas, terwyl vriende wat ná ons bespreek het in die luukse eenhede gehuisves is. Netheid en instandhouding: Die kamers was vol stof en spinnerakke, en stinkgoggas was orals. Ons is nie vooraf ingelig dat dit ’n seisoenale probleem is nie, en daar was geen insetspuit of hulpmiddels om dit te hanteer nie. Die badkamers van die meeste gaste was vol muf, en die TVs en lugversorgers het nie gewerk nie. Die beddegoed was nie van goeie gehalte nie, en die deur van ons kamer het skaars behoorlik gesluit. Etes en dienslewering: Die ontbyt was baie pover – baie van die items wat op die spyskaart aangedui is, was nie beskikbaar nie. Ek het vooraf gereël dat al 11 van ons saam die Sondagoggend eet. Daar was nie eens moeite gedoen om tafels bymekaar te skuif soos bevestig is nie. Administrasie en betaling: By aankoms is gesê twee kamers is nie betaal nie, hoewel ek bewyse van beide betalings (meer as ’n week voor die tyd) moes wys. Toe die tweede persoon arriveer, moes dieselfde situasie weer hanteer word. Dit was frustrerend en totaal onprofessioneel. Onprofessionele hantering: Tydens die naweek het iemand van ontvangs, terwyl die eienares self teenwoordig was, vir ons groep gesê dat as ons wil kla, ons dit eerder in persoon moet doen as op sosiale media. Hierdie stelling is ongelukkig tekenend van hoe klagtes hier hanteer word – en ook bewys dat daar geen vooraf waarskuwing was oor die swak toestand van die lodge nie. Pryse: Tot slot – al die gaste het verskillende pryse vir soortgelyke kamers betaal, sonder duidelike rede. Ons het baie moeite gedoen om hierdie naweek spesiaal te maak – en die lodge het ons bitterlik in die steek gelaat. Nie aanbeveel nie.

Disappointing.

We booked Ndlovu Lodge for my husband's 30th birthday - a special weekend we were really looking forward to. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing and not up to standard at all for the price range and description of the accommodation. Booking and room layout: I booked a premium room via the website. Later, I was informed by Ndlovu Lodge that only standard rooms were available. I then asked for an upgrade to a luxury unit, and then I received the contradictory response from Ndlovu Lodge that only premium rooms were available - exactly what I had originally booked. However, after contacting the website and confirming with Ndlovu Lodge that we would indeed receive a premium room, we were placed in a family unit upon arrival, while friends who booked after us were accommodated in the luxury units. Cleanliness and maintenance: The rooms were full of dust and cobwebs, and stink bugs were everywhere. We were not informed in advance that this was a seasonal problem, and there was no sprinkler or tools to deal with it. The bathrooms of most guests were full of mold, and the TVs and air conditioners did not work. The bedding was not of good quality, and the door to our room barely closed properly. Food and service: The breakfast was very poor - many of the items indicated on the menu were not available. I had arranged in advance for all 11 of us to eat together on Sunday morning. There was no effort to move tables together as confirmed. Administration and payment: Upon arrival, I was told that two rooms had not been paid for, although I had to show proof of both payments (over a week in advance). When the second person arrived, the same situation had to be dealt with again. It was frustrating and completely unprofessional. Unprofessional handling: During the weekend, someone from reception, while the owner herself was present, told our group that if we wanted to complain, we should do it in person rather than on social media. This statement is unfortunately indicative of how complaints are handled here – and also proves that there was no advance warning about the poor condition of the lodge. Prices: Finally – all the guests paid different prices for similar rooms, for no apparent reason. We had put a lot of effort into making this weekend special – and the lodge let us down badly. Not recommended.

It was a wonderful stay. It's a well-maintained beautiful lodge in a quiet location. Ideal location for a quick escape from busy city life.

Baie lekker gebly behalwe vir onakkurate webblad betref DSTV-pakket.

Baie gasvry ontvang, baie ruim kamer - het spesifiek hier bespreek aangesien webblad aandui elke kamer het volle DSTV-pakket beskikbaar. Geen DSTV-pakket was egter beskikbaar nie.

Very nice stay except for inaccurate web page regarding DSTV package.

Very hospitable welcome, very spacious room - specifically booked here as website indicates each room has full DSTV package available. However, no DSTV package was available.
