Baie lekker en presies waarvan ons albei hou.

Ons albei hou van die outentieke boservaring en ek dink dit is wat die plek bied, bos maar in 'n mate nogsteeds effens gemak.

Very tasty and exactly what we both like.

We both like the authentic forest experience and I think that's what the place offers, forest but to some extent still slightly comfort.

Aangename, veilige en skoon verblyf, weg van die geraas van die stad.

Off Beat Safaris is 'n heerlike wegbreek nie ver buite Hoedspruit nie. Cabins is klein, maar skoon en goed gediens. Die gemeenskaplike kombuis is ten volle toegerus. Die leefarea en ontspanningsarea is skoon en netjies. Warm water word voorsien volgens jou keuse soggens of saans of beide.

Pleasant, safe and clean accommodation, away from the noise of the city.

Off Beat Safaris is a delightful getaway not far outside Hoedspruit. Cabins are small, but clean and well serviced. The communal kitchen is fully equipped. The living area and recreation area are clean and tidy. Hot water is provided according to your choice in the morning or evening or both.

A comfortable stay in the bush.

We enjoyed meeting Millie and staying in her lovely camp, just all too briefly. We would wish to return for a few days longer to wander into the honey badger's abode and to just listen to Africa talking in the calls of its birds and the hyena and maybe to meet the leopard. Pity about the train.

Ons ontvangs was uit die boeke.

Ek sal die lodge aanbeveel. As jy 'n rustic plek soek om te gaan ontspan, kan jy gerus soontoe gaan. Alles was netjies en die diens baie goed.

Die rustigheid en netheid van die lodge het my beïndruk.

Wat wel pla is die erge sinkplaatpad die laaste 8 km na die lodge. Dan is die lodge langs die Phalaborwa-spoorlyn geleë wat in die nag effens hinderlik is wanneer treine verbygaan.

Translate to English.

The tranquility and cleanliness of the lodge impressed me.

What does bother is the bad corrugated iron road the last 8 km to the lodge. Then the lodge is located next to the Phalaborwa railway line which is a bit of a nuisance at night when trains pass by.

Baie netjiese, gerieflike, koste-effektiewe, goed geleë blyplek.

Behalwe vir die trein wat drie maal die nag langs die kamp verby geraas het (slaap was baie moeilik daaroor vir my), was die matrasse baie gerieflik en alles goed ingerig. Die plek is werklik "off beat" en haardroërs en selfoonlaaiers langs die beddens was nie moontlik nie, maar die sonkrag en ander was wel elders beskikbaar. Ek sal die plek baie beslis aanbeveel, veral wanneer selfoon-kommunikasie nie belangrik is nie aangesien opvangs nie juis bestaan nie. Lieflike, rustige, tipiese bosveld-blyplek!

Very neat, comfortable, cost effective and well located accommodation.

Except for the train that stopped next to the campsite three times a night (it disturbed my sleep), the mattresses were very comfortable and the room well equipped. The place is very off beat and it wasn't possible to put hairdryers or cellphone chargers next to the beds. There was solar energy available. I would definitely recommend this place, especially if you don't find cellphone reception important. Lovely, peaceful, typical bush accommodation.

Dit is nie wat ons verwag het nie.

Die kamers is so oop deur die deur, vloer en die oop badkamer sonder 'n deur. Nee, jy staan in die wind en jy stort in koue water want teen die tyd wanneer daar vuurgemaak word het jy maar vroeg uitgery om iewers te gaan eet en maar rondgery. Ons het albei neuse wat loop want nie die kamer of badkamer is sonder openinge nie. Die bedjies wat ons gekry het om op te slaap was rerig nie wel nie. Die eerste aand het ons redelik geslaap maar die volgende aand toe lê ons wakker in die nag en luister na musiek op ons fone want jou rug is so seer van die beddens. Kan nie dink as jy die kamer vir 2 volwassenes bespreek gee hulle vir jou 2 enkelbedjies om op te slaap. Dit was rerig nie cool nie. My man se rug is so seer van die bed hy het gesukkel om regtig op te kom uit die bed en jy lê die meeste van die nag wakker en gesels en luister musiek omdat jy baie ongemaklik geslaap het.

This is not what we expected.

The rooms are so open through the door, floor and the open bathroom without a door. No, you stand in the wind and you plunge into cold water because by the time the fire is made you have driven out early to go eat somewhere and just drove around. We both have runny noses because neither the room nor the bathroom are without openings. The cots we were given to sleep on were really not good. The first night we slept pretty well but the next night we lay awake at night listening to music on our phones because your back hurts so much from the beds. Can't imagine if you book the room for 2 adults they give you 2 single beds to sleep on. It really wasn't cool. My husband's back hurts so much from the bed he struggled to really get out of bed and you lie awake most of the night talking and listening to music because you slept very uncomfortably.

Letterlik afskakel in die natuur.

Baie oulike verblyf plekkie in die bos. Geen selfoonopvangs, Rustige atmosfeer, donkie vir warmwater, buitelug stort en toilet. As jy nou totaal en al wil afskakel is hierdie die ideale omgewing.

Literally switch off in nature.

Very cute place to stay in the forest. No mobile reception, Quiet atmosphere, hot water tank, outdoor shower and toilet. If you want to completely switch off now, this is the ideal environment.

Ongelooflik geseënd.

Hierdie was 'n hoogte punt van ons vakansie. Ons was alleen in die kamp en ons het elke oomblik geniet. Die liefde wat die mense en verblyfgeriewe toon teenoor die natuur is ongelooflik om te beleef. As jy 'n bos mens is, is hierdie 'n moet!

Incredibly blessed.

This was a highlight of our holiday. We were alone in the camp and we enjoyed every moment. The love that the people and accommodation facilities show towards nature is incredible to experience. If you are a forest person, this is a must!

Heerlik.

Heerlike kuiertyd saam my gesin, lekker in die bos, baie stil en goed uitgerus. Sou die stort bietjie warmer verkies het! Lekker gekuier om die vuur, alles baie skoon en goeie diens. Dalk 'n groter bord by die ingang om te sê dit is die lodge ook? Ons het verby gery, maar ek moet bysê dat dit baie hard gereën het! Definitief aan te beveel as jy hou van die bos en jy wil tyd saam jou gesin spandeer!

Lovely.

Lovely time with the family, nice and in the bush, very quiet and well equipped. Would have liked the shower to be a bit hotter! Had a nice time round the fire, everything was very clean and good service. Maybe a bigger signboard at the entrace to say it is also the lodge? We drove past, but I have to mention that it was raining very hard! Definitely recommended if you like the bush and spending time with your family!

'n Wonderlike bos-ervaring op sy natuurlikste! 'n Oop badkamer onder die sterre!

Indien jy daarvan hou om in die bos te wees sonder die 'trappings' van mure en heinings, is hierdie plek vir jou. Ons het dit geweldig geniet!

A very pleasant and relaxing stay, we were very well looked after.

We stayed for three nights during the week and had the whole camp to ourselves which was very nice. The only problems we experienced was with the shower - the water was too hot on one day and too cold on the other two days.
