Almal was baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig.

Everyone was very friendly and helpful.
Just a suggestion: Each bed only has 1 pillow per person and there wasn't an extra blanket in a closet. Not that you normally need extra blankets in Phalaborwa, but there was a cold front. We had a wonderful stay otherwise.

Thank you very much for your rating and suggestion, which we will take into consideration. Thank you, again.
You are absolutely right, It has been a very cold winter this year, and it has taken us by surprise; we will get hold of more blankets as soon as possible. If you ever come to our area again, it would certainly be a pleasure to welcome and host you. Bush regards, Team Normann Safari/Tine

The stay was pleasant and the facilities were good, i.e. braai, etc.
Normann Safari Bush Lodge 's response
Thank you very much for your review, we are grateful for your inputs as well! We will definitely address the issue with housekeeping - we are sorry that we were not made aware of it while you were still here, so we could have dealt with it immediately. Hopefully, we'll get the chance to host you again. Kind bush regards, Team Normann Safari / Tine

Lekker akkommodasie op 'n stil plek in die bos.

Nice accommodation in a quiet place in the forest.
The chalets are well equipped, but note that there are no televisions. The included breakfast was delicious and freshly prepared. The staff do their best with what is available to them, are helpful and friendly. The swimming pool is very nice and a relief in the heat of the bushveld. I really enjoyed my stay there.

Compliments of the season.
Thank you so much for your review and comments. TV isn't a facility, as most of our guests bring their tablets/phones etc., which is why WiFi is included in our rate.
We were happy to be your hosts and are glad that you also enjoyed your stay.

Ontbyt het opgemaak vir die slegte kamer.

Breakfast made up for the bad room.
The bathroom lights do not work and the bathroom has no doors. The place is a bit tired and not really maintained. The breakfast was really nice.

Thank you for your review, it's much appreciated.
It took us (the owners, stuck overseas due to COVID situation globally) a while to get the incident right, in order for us to reply to your comments, which we definitively would like to apologize for.
Apparently the sliding door to the bathroom was handed in for repair, and forgotten, the room you stayed in is with sliding door to make an easier access for disabled (wheelchairs especially).
The globes we use in the bathroom are LED, they are not working nicely, so we have changed all of them, not that it will affect your experience, which is unfortunate, and we are sorry about.
Kind regards Bjoern & Tine Normann

Dit was aangenaam en rustig, maar deur die aand was ons rus versteur deur lawaai uit die eenheid naaste aan diep kant van die swembad.

It was pleasant and peaceful, but throughout the evening our rest was disturbed by noise from the unit closest to the deep end of the pool.
The guests in question were extremely loud from about 11pm to 4am. We were on our way to do service in Kruger Wildlife Park, so it was a disappointing start to our project.

Thank you so much for your review, and for staying with us.
We do apologize sincerely about the noisy neighbours on the plot next to ours.
Unfortunately, they held their party during your stay (usually we can brag with the calm and quiet location in the bush), it was rather difficult, and out our control, to calm them, as their party was not on our premises.

Fasiliteit was onvoorbereid, onnet en karig voorsien van eetgerei, beddegoed en beligting. Kaste was vol stof en spinnerakke.

Facility was unprepared, untidy and poorly supplied with cutlery, bedding and lighting. Cupboards were full of dust and cobwebs.
The management did make an effort to resolve matters, but first impressions remain lasting. The staff were consistently friendly and helpful and dealt with complaints quickly.

Will not stay for more than one night.
The accommodation has a lot of potential, but is badly neglected. The workers are very friendly and helpful, but there is no owner or management to be seen.
