Nature, relax, tranquility.
Nyala View was fantastic. The house was equipped with everything and more. It was wonderful to just get out of the city's hustle and bustle and see nature. Thanks, this was truly another one for the books.

We had a very disappointing weekend.
Nyala View 's response
The guests were offered the property next door with a poolnet and declined it. It was also a wet and rainy weekend unfortunately. The wifi is 100% functional. We do rely on an external service provider for support unfortunately and therefore cannot guarantee network availability.

Do not recommend.

Unfortunately, Megan has not been honest in her review and extremely disrespectful towards staff. The guest ignored the check-in instructions and hence had to wait for the staff to prepare.

We as a family enjoyed the house and the Bosveld.
Regardless of the bad rain and cold weather that lasted the whole weekend, we as a group made the best of it, at least we were also able to go on a game drive even if we had to wait for the vehicle until 10:00 in the morning and that after i had to call Everything one needed was there. There are a few defects that I sent you by e-mail with photos, such as e.g. the Rhino room was under water due to the rain that ran from the porch under the door, the shower was also blocked and also poured over the floor. The door of the one bathroom with an outdoor shower could not be closed and the wind kept blowing it open. We could not use the kettle as it was cracked and the water was leaking out from the bottom. In the games room we could not use the football table as there was no ball. The pool table's two sticks also did not contain points. One of the 2 table tennis rackets' handle was lumbar and one half broken off. The biggest headache was the pin drop directions that take you about 3 km past the Cyferfontein entrance. Furthermore, the place is beautiful.

Friends and family made for a lovely visit.
The inverter was broken, so no water during load shedding. Deck has several loose and broken boards. Some of the bathrooms never had hot water. The pool turned green and nothing was done about it, even though we requested it many times. The Jacuzzi was very dirty from day 1. We bought wood in advance, but it wasn't delivered until day 2.

Dankie vir julle terugvoer Marleen. Ons het intussen 'n goeie inverter installeer en dit blyk dat die probleem nou opgelos het. Ek moet noem toe julle aanvanklik bespreek het, het ons nog geen inverter gehad nie (dit het eers later bygekom), dus was die inverter nie 'n gegewe nie. Jammer, oor die laat aflewering van die hout en oor die jacuzzi. Die jacuzzi word gereeld skoon gemaak (tussen elke groep gaste). Dis die bos en die wind en weer dra ook maar, by.

Die eenheid is baie mooi, maar die pad soontoe is baie sleg.

The unit is very nice, but the road to get there is very bad.
The bedrooms are very nice and spacious with very comfortable beds! Beautiful view! The unit is not recommended for people with disabilities or people who have difficulty walking because you have to climb stairs to enter the unit, but for us it was convenient. The air conditioning was a winner in the hot heat.

Dankie vir jou terugvoer Barend. Ek waardeer dit opreg. Ons het baie reen gehad die afgelope seisoen wat die pad maar redelik verspoel het. Dit lyk darem nie altyd so nie. Hoop julle kom kuier weer.

Hi Pieter
Thank you for your valued feedback. It is not the task of the security personnel to welcome guests. We do offer a self check-in service as we are based on a 12500 Ha farm. The agent does not live on-site. A paid check-in service is available on request. You were provided with comprehensive check-in details with a link, a house number and access codes, when you accepted the terms and conditions in the link provided.
The condition of the road leading to the lodge is also not Mabalingwe's responsibility or any of the lodge owners residing in Mabalingwe. We are dependent on the local authorities for the upkeep of the road. It is a farm and the road leading to the farm is mostly untarred and if it rains the road might not be in great shape.
We had installed a new inverter and it was still in its testing phase. We are not immune to load shedding however with the inverter newly installed we had some technical challenges for the short periods we had loadshedding.
We do however value your feedback and will address the issues raised.

Nice to relax in nature but the house is not up to standard.
The woodland nature in Mabalingwe is beautiful, especially after all the rain. The house is unfortunately very dilapidated and needs a lot of maintenance attention. The deck around the pool is about 50% loose and is dangerous. Lots of stuff around the house that doesn't meet current building regulations - dangerous for little and big people. Had to clean the pool myself (no pool scoop net), and the hot tub control system was not working. Quite disappointed with the condition of the house. There are also bats in the house's roof that leave small landmines everywhere.

Disappointed.

Thank you for your feedback Megan. Cyferfontein is part of Mabalingwe and its clear on the signage on display throughout the reserve. Cyferfontein is Mabalingwe 11.
Load shedding is an unfortunate reality and we are also not exempt from this new reality. We did not yet advertise our listing with an inverter as it was newly installed and still being tested and therefore not really fair to rate us on a faulty inverter when not yet part of the listing at the time of your visit in September
Thank you for letting us know about the glass situation which we have since corrected.
We value all feedback and accept your views as constructive feedback
