Rustig met 'n asemrowende uitsig oor die meer.

Ons huisie was baie goed ingerig en toegerus. Die huisie is baie privaat en tussen die plantegroei dat dit voel asof jy in 'n woud is. Die uitsig oor die meer is pragtig. Die etes was baie lekker met 'n groot verskeidenheid om uit te kies. Die personeel was almal so behulpsaam en vriendelik dat ons definitief weer Nibela sal besoek.

Peaceful with a breathtaking view of the lake.

Our cottage was very well furnished and equipped. The cottage is very private and among the vegetation that it feels like you are in a forest. The view over the lake is beautiful. The meals were very tasty with a large variety to choose from. The staff were all so helpful and friendly that we will definitely visit Nibela again.

Fantasties.

Wat ‘n oulike plek! Love die omgewing en als om dit. Sal dit vir seker meer bemark sodat meer mense dit kan geniet. Absoluut 'n gem in SA. Bly om te hoor daar is 'n opgradering van al die chalets.

Fantastic.

What a cute place! Love the environment and everything around it. Will definitely market it more so more people can enjoy it. Absolutely a gem in SA. Glad to hear there is an upgrade to all the chalets.

Lekker rustige wegbreekplek.

Personeel is van die beste wat ek beleef het en laat jou baie spesiaal voel. Toergids ken die ongewing en area weens jare se ondervindig. Gasvryheid is fantasties.

Nice peaceful getaway.

Staff are some of the best I have experienced and make you feel very special. Tour guide knows the environment and area due to years of experience. Hospitality is fantastic.

Lieflike atmosfeer met vriendelike mense en heeerlike kos

Sedert ons bespreking gedoen is het alles baie goed gegaan. Ons is selfs 'n dag voor ons aankoms gekontak om seker te maak dat alles in orde is. Vriendelike ontvangs - mees behulpsame werkers. Die kamers is gemaklik met TV en lugversorging. Moontlike opknapping nodig so hier en daar. Die etes was van uitstaande gehalte!! Vriendelike eienaars. Lekker staproetes, bird viewing ens ens ens. Jammer van die ver grondpad tot by die hoofpad.

Lovely atmosphere with friendly people and delicious food

Since our reservation was made everything went very well. We were even contacted a day before our arrival to make sure everything was in order. Friendly reception - most helpful workers. The rooms are comfortable with TV and air conditioning. Possible renovation needed here and there. The meals were of excellent quality!! Friendly owners. Nice walking routes, bird viewing etc etc etc. Sorry about the long dirt road to the main road.

Geagte, Ria,
Baie dankie vir u posetiewe terugvoer en komplimente oor die staf en kos. Die grondpad probeer ons so goed as moontlik instand hou en gelukkig is dit 'n pragtige omgewing waarin u kan terug sit en afskaal. Hoop om u gou terug te verwelkom by die oord. Vriendelike groete, Nibela.

Uitstekende ligging!

Ons het 'n week in Nibela Lodge gebly. Sjef Cindy het baie kreatiewe en heerlike kos bedien. Die staf was vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die ligging is stunning en baie privaat. Die vierwielmotorfietsrit was definitief die moeite werd. Die Lodge het so bietjie TLC nodig.

We stayed in Nibela Lodge for a week. Chef Cindy served very creative and delicious food. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location is stunning and very private. The quad bike ride was definitely worth it. The Lodge needs some TLC.

Absoluut wonderlik!

Ons het gerus, heerlik geëet, gestap en vierwielmotorfietse gery. Die grondpad na die oord is in 'n goeie kondisie en ry maklik.

Sarel en Melanie is duidelik baie goed in beheer van hierdie Lodge. Dit word goed bestuur en daar word goed na gaste se welsyn omgesien. Die Lodge is pragtig weggesteek in die bosse met 'n paar chalets wat 'n ongelooflike uitkyk het oor die meer. Dit voel of 'n mens in Tarzan se wêreld bly met die chalets wat met hout loopplanke aan mekaar verbind is. Die werklike opset is 10 maal beter en mooier as die foto's op die webtuiste! Dis 'n ware rusplek (met baie aksie en aktiwiteit indien jy daarna soek).

Sarel and Melanie are clearly very well in charge of this Lodge. It is well managed and guests' welfare is well taken care of. The Lodge is beautifully hidden in the woods with a few chalets that have an incredible view over the lake. It feels as if one is staying in Tarzan's world with the chalets which are connected to each other by wooden walkways. The actual setup is 10 times better and more beautiful than the photos on the website! It's a real resting place (with lots of action and activity if you're looking for it).

What a spectacular place!

Everything was exceptional. Two worries though: Checking in did not go smoothly: our reservation was for five singles and all three chalets had double beds! So we had to change to chalets with single beds. Our second worry was: On the access road, about 10km from Nibela, a group of boys were 'building' a speed hump across the road... as we passed, they demanded gifts (not asked, nor begged, but demanded!). I just drove on past. This happened on our way in and out. The obvious purpose of the speed hump is to cause vehicles to slow down sufficiently to be able to intimidate them... This is my safety concern.

The website is very misleading.

Accomodation and surroundings very pleasant, the biggest problem is the long distance on bad roads off the main road. Any days out take at least 40 minutes to reach tar road. There is also not much to do, disapointing that the quads were unavailable, TV's in the rooms would have helped. We would recommend a maximum of 3 days, we stayed too long at 6. Staff very friendly, food excellant, management could have made more effort on a personal level with the guests.
