Baie rustig.

Het lekker gebly. Net die koue water van die bad is baie stadig as dit inloop. Jy moet dit meer as 'n uur laat loop. Verder aangenaam.

Very calm.

Had a nice stay. Only the cold water from the bath is very slow when it enters. You need to run it for more than an hour. Also pleasant.

Sommer baie baie lekke om hier te kuier!

Ons het dit baie geniet om hier te bly. Wow! Wat 'n wonderlike en pragtige plek. Uitstekend geleë in die Hartebeespoort area. Naby aan Dinokeng, maar nie in die reservaat nie, dus geen daaglikse bewarings- of self-ry fooie is nodig nie. Hulle eiendom het pragtige stapareas en tuine. Lekker plek om rustig rond te stap, pragtige tuine en 'n mooi dammetjie met eende. Die eenheid is pragtig uitgelê, baie skoon en maklik een van ons gunsteling plekke tot dusver! Privaat braai-area, 'n wonderlike bad in die eenheid. Alles was net awesome! Ons kom beslis terug!

So many many licks to visit here!

We really enjoyed staying here. Wow! What a wonderful and beautiful place. Excellent location in the Hartebeespoort area. Close to Dinokeng, but not in the reserve, so no daily conservation or self-drive fees are required. Their property has beautiful walking areas and gardens. Nice place to take a leisurely stroll, beautiful gardens and a pretty little pond with ducks. The unit is beautifully laid out, very clean and easily one of our favorite places so far! Private braai area, a great bath in the unit. Everything was just awesome! We will definitely be back!

Very good value for money and a safe stay. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Friends from Germany were visiting SA and I accompanied them to a few of the “things to do” near Hartebeespoort dam. Out of Africa Lodge is very central and near the most important "must do's". We enjoyed our braai every evening, sharing stories around the fire. A suggestion was made that the lodge must upgrade facilities a bit, i.e. providing WiFi, replacing linen and towels. Overall, a good rating from all. All the best, Helena.

Baie aangenaam, sal aanbeveel.

Dit was 'n baie aangename ervaring, het regtig 'n gevoel van in die bos gekry. Al klagte is dat daar die laaste aand van ons verblyf van die middag 4 uur nie water was nie en dit eers ongeveer 3 uur die oggend aangekom het en ons kon niemand in die hande kry om dit aan te meld nie (daar was niemand by ontvangs nie, deure was gesluit en kontaknommer het nie eers gelui nie).

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Very pleasant, would recommend.

It was a very pleasant experience, really got a feeling of being in the woods. All complaint is that on the last night of our stay there was no water from 4 o'clock in the afternoon and it didn't arrive until around 3 o'clock in the morning and we couldn't get hold of anyone to report it (there was no one at reception not, doors were locked and contact number didn't even ring).

Comfortable cabin.

We stayed overnight for a wedding we attended in the area but weren't in the cabin for long other than when we got ready and then came back to sleep. The service was incredible, they even let us check in earlier to get ready for our friends' wedding. The only issue we had was that the entire cabin smelt of creosote, the smell absorbed into our luggage and clothes, and my partner experienced troubles with his throat because of how strong it was. Luckily we had the aircon on throughout the evening to try and neutralize the air, but it was extremely strong. We decided not to stay an extra night, and our clothes were tainted with the smell so we had gone home instead. Other than that, would recommend!

Ons het lekker gebly. Daar is baie om te doen naby die lodge.

Ons het bietjie weggebreek vir die naweek om te ontspan. Ons het uitgesien na die wild. Toe ons daar aankom, is ons vriendelik verwelkom. Die volgende dag het ons gaan uitvra oor die wild en die restaurant wat geadverteer was. Die dame het gesê dat daar nie 'n restaurant of wildroetes is nie. Sy het gesê die wild sal by die huisies wees. Ons het in 3 dae 1 kameelperd gesien.

We took a little break for the weekend to relax. We were looking forward to the game. When we got there, we were warmly welcomed. The next day we went to ask about the game and the restaurant that was advertised. The lady said that there is no restaurant or wildlife trails. She said the wildlife would be at the cottages. We saw 1 giraffe in 3 days.

Die verblyf was ok. Het meer verwag vir die prys.

Kon nie die swembad gebruik nie, want dit was grasgroen. Die buitestort was heerlik, maar daar was nie genoeg privaatheid nie. Die planke en trappie buite was bietjie vervalle. Daar was geen hangplek vir klere nie. Buitestoeltjies vir die braai word aanbeveel, daar was geen plek om buite te sit nie.

Lekker gekuier, maar sal nie gou weer bespreek nie.

Daar kort liggies of kerse vir loadshedding tye. Was baie donker gewees. Dakwaaier was stukkend. Yskas heeltyd water gelek en vloer was konstant nat. Borrelbad glad nie geskik vir 'n romantiese wegbreek nie. Beddegoed was skoon. Plekkies kort opgradering.

Slegte instandhouding.

Daar was 'n probleem met die kamer wat gegee is, maar dit was baie vinnig opgeklaar. Fotos van kamers is effe misleidend. Alhoewel die eenheid baie oulik is, is die instandhouding van die eenheid baie sleg. Mure en deure is onsaglik vuil, vensters is gebreek en kan nie toe nie (ongelukkig 'n windstorm gehad en venster het die hele aand deur geklap). Gordynreëlings is met draad van die dakbalke af gehang. Geen koffie of suiker is uitgesit nie. Die ergste vir my was dat die handdoeke wat uitgesit is, vol gate was. Ongelukkig moet ek sê, ons het al vir goedkoper by baie beter versorgde plekkies gebly. Met seep, badkamersproei, koffie en suiker in die eenheid, asook heelwat verskillende groottes handdoeke wat uitgesit is. Ons sal ongelukkig nie weer hier oorbly nie.

Poor maintenance.

There was a problem with the room given, but it was cleared up very quickly. Photos of rooms are slightly misleading. Although the unit is very cute, the maintenance of the unit is very bad. Walls and doors are unbelievably dirty, windows are broken and cannot close (unfortunately there was a windstorm and the window was banging all night). Curtain arrangements were hung from the rafters by wire. No coffee or sugar was put out. The worst for me was that the towels that were put out were full of holes. Unfortunately I have to say, we have stayed in much better maintained places for less. With soap, bathroom spray, coffee and sugar in the unit, as well as plenty of different sized towels laid out. Unfortunately we will not stay here again.

Really has potential but maintenance and basic provision to customers are lacking.

I know that load shedding is an issue but there must be some way to provide electricity to the units through a generator. In the summer it is very hot and no electricity means no fans. The water pressure to the bath was so bad that it took 20 min to fill a 1/4 of the bath.

Neglected, but lots of potential.

The environment is typical woodland, but is neglected. There were daily cleaning services, but to our dismay we had to find unwanted insects (Cockroaches). Can see that once upon a time it was neat and pretty. So much potential but was disappointed. We were only looking for overnight accommodation, and luckily it wasn't a planned getaway, otherwise the disappointment would have been huge.

Slegte ervaring, besering opgedoen.

Die water was koud, en hulle het ook eers 8 uur aand ons geyser aangesit. Die jacuzzi se dreinering was baie swak, water het in die chalet gespoel. Ek het geval, en het dalk 'n rib gebroke, baie swak hoe dit gebou is! Sal nie aanbeveel nie.

Bad experience, injury sustained.

The water was cold, and they also didn't turn on our geyser until 8 o'clock in the evening. The jacuzzi's drainage was very poor, water washed into the chalet. I fell, and may have broken a rib, very weak the way it is built! Would not recommend.

Awful, we will never recommend the place.

The photos are not the true image of the place. Bushbaby is a log cabin with a detached outdoor braai. The unit is much smaller than it appears in the photos. The curtain was torn and the toilet dirty. The kitchen is very basic equipped and the saucepans very old and worn through. An old sponge was left for our use. The mirror had 2 grease spots on it - creepy. The bed only had a thin blanket, no extra blankets.

Was pathetic and dirty.

The photos on their profile page, our place was full of cockroaches, the fridge door is hanging on mercy, TV remote not working, the kitchen things were dirty, no cleanliness for things to carry, shower door is not not been safe. I recommend you look at the review also on Google and take the people down, because what they claim is not what we saw. For what I paid, I could have sat by a pond. We were too scared to cook there, every night we went out to eat at a different place opposite them. When I sprayed doom for 1 cockroach the whole nest came out. I will please looking for my money back from the stay, it was not worth it. The cleaning they say doesn't even do anything, no one comes to clean, that's why the place was full of cockroaches. Post new photos of what their locations are now and you will see that the location's rates are less than 0.

Het beslis die Bosveld-gevoel gehad.

Sal nie sê jy is net 'n uur uit Pretoria nie. Kinders het soveel pret gehad. Perfekte plek om te sit en ontspan. Die perfekte wegbreek. Sit by die swembad en lees terwyl die kinders swem, en niks klop 'n braai met die Suid-Afrikaanse sonsondergang nie. Sluit die dag af met 'n lekker ontspannende spa-bad.

Baie rustige atmosfeer. Instandhouding kan miskien net opgeskerp word. Verder baie lekker gebly.

Het net een aand oorgeslaap vir 'n troue naby aan die lodge.

Plek was skoon en netjies, kon 'n lekker warm bad vat. Het wakker geword met twee eekhorinkies wat in die dak bly, en kameelperde wat nie te ver van ons huisie gewei het nie. Ons het by die lodge se restaurant gaan ontbyt eet, wat regtig waarde vir geld was. Sal volgende keer bietjie langer wil bly om een van die staproetes aan te pak.

Just stayed one night for a wedding close to the lodge.

Place was clean and tidy, could take a nice hot bath. Woke up to two squirrels living in the roof, and giraffes grazing not too far from our cottage. We had breakfast at the lodge's restaurant, which was really value for money. Will want to stay a little longer next time to tackle one of the hiking trails.

It was short but enjoyable.

The bedding had a few spots/stains on it. I would not recommend white bedding. The chalet needs a bit of maintenance and TLC. The kitchen was very basic - no wine glasses and no metal to put meat in after braaiing. The bathroom needs towel rails. Small mats next to the bed would have been nice and maybe a rug in the lounge to make it cosier. Upstairs loft bedroom could use a small bedside table between the beds.

Defintief bekostigbaar vir 'n vinnige wegbreek. Die groot bad is wonderlik.

Alhoewel die rondawel nie die luukste toerusting of alle benodighede bevat nie, is daar voldoende geriewe vir 'n wegbreek. Die bad is nie meer op die vloer (soos op die foto) nie ─ dis lekker groot met trappies.

Definitely affordable for a quick getaway. The large tub is great.

Although the rondavel does not contain the most luxurious equipment or all the necessities, there are sufficient facilities for a getaway. The bath is no longer on the floor (as in the photo) ─ it's nice and big with steps.

Rustig en veilig.

Net die plek om jouself te vind. Mooi staproetes, skoon swembad. Ons was mal oor die wild wat tussen huisies loop (kom water drink vroegoggend en laatmiddag). Omdat ons diereliefhebbers is het ons Milo se kuiertjies vreeslik geniet. Hy het elke oggend en middag kom inloer om seker te maak ons is okay, en dan ook natuurlik 'n treat gekry. Dankie vir jul gasvryheid en sal jul vir seker weer sien.

Just the place to find yourself. Nice hiking trails, clean pool. We loved the wildlife that walks between houses (come to drink water early morning and late afternoon). Because we are animal lovers, we really enjoyed Milo's visits. He stopped by every morning and afternoon to make sure we were okay, and of course got a treat. Thank you for your hospitality and will see you again for sure.

Goeie waarde vir geld en goeie ligging.

Ons het in twee verskillende Ndebele chalets gebly (persoonlik nog 'n aand bespreek) en die 2de chalet was beter omrede die bad nuwer was en daar was genoeg warm water. Ongelukkig was die eerste chalet se bad oud, oorgeverf, gevlek en die verf het ook vreeslik afgekom en ek vermoed daar was fout met die geyser, want ons het nie genoeg warm water gehad nie. Ek sal steeds weer gaan want ons het tog baie lekker gebly.

Good value for money and good location.

We stayed in two different Ndebele chalets (personally booked another night) and the 2nd chalet was better because the bath was newer and there was enough hot water. Unfortunately the first chalet's bath was old, painted over, stained and the paint was also coming off terribly and I suspect there was something wrong with the geyser because we didn't have enough hot water. I will still go again because we really enjoyed our stay.

Cheaper end of options. Neat, tidy, not great for non-drinkers/non-smokers.

Reception was polite but minimal. Room clean and tidy. No information was offered/visible about: WiFi availability/access, TV and decoder operation, food/grocery options, local hike path/map. Other facilities within the grounds. People permitted to smoke in reception & entertainment area was a significant disappointment. Kitchen utensils very basic for self-catering. Maintenance of the estate looked like it was probably in decline - a significant red flag for any future visits.

Nice quiet area but far from all amenities.

The picture of the rooms was exactly what we saw. The outside was like the bushes or forest, which they never showed, only swimming pool. Room 7 on arrival, the TV was not working and we reported it, but nothing was done. They were aggressive towards us when we complained about that, telling us they paid R1300 to repair it, so what must they do! Room 5 was full of cockroaches and had a bad smell on the sheets.

Out of Africa Lodge 's response

Good day
Hope you are well.
We went to you immediately and tried to fix the issue, and then we got someone out to fix it. We saw that it was fixed.
When you returned, it was once again not working. We had to get the same person a second time. The technician told us the settings were changed, not left as he had set them up. You also told me that you tried to fix it the first time, so you are aware of how it works.
We were cordial the whole time, but we can't refund your entire stay because the issue was addressed and fixed.
No other complaints were brought to our attention while you were staying with us.
We would never be aggressive as that is not how a business should be run. We always put our client first.
I hope this clarifies some of the confusion.
Kind regards

Not at all as expected.

The wooden cabin in which we spent the night's bathroom light did not work at all, there was no milk or sugar provided but 2x bags of instant coffee, the kettle was dirty inside and there was no trash inside the cabin. We were also not told where to leave the key in the morning, when we left the office was still closed, so we left the key at the office door.

Het 'n extra aand bespreek en betaal. Toe ons die middag daar kom het hulle heeltemal van ons vergeet. Amper nie 'n kamer gehad nie. Toe gee hulle vir ons ons ou kamer wat nie skoon was nie. Geen beddegoed gehad het nie en TV verwyder was. Asof hulle nog besig was en net alles gelos het vir die volgende dag. Die eienaar het definitief nie die kamer eers inspekteer nie. Hulle was al by die deur uit, besig om toe te maak vir die dag toe ons daar aankom. Baie teleurgesteld.

They were already out the door, closing up for the day when we got there. Very disappointed.

Nie op standaard nie.

Met aankoms is daar nie 'n wag of enige personeellid om jou te wys waarheen om te gaan nie. Bordjies na ontvangs is al aanwysigs wat daar is. Daar was 'n kers beskikbaar vir die beurtkrag. Die klein stukkie wat ons ontvang het in die verblyf was nie eers 10cm lank nie. Geen vuurhoutjies om dit mee aan te steek nie. Die beddegoed was vuil. Dit het vlekmerke opgehad en daar was muisdrolle in die beddegoed. Daar was selfs hare op die kussings. Handdoeke wat verskaf is, is baie oud. Vuil merke was duidelik sigbaar op die handdoeke. Van die handdoeke het selfs gate daarin gehad. Die stortkop was stukkend en het water in alle rigtings gespuit. Stort se vloer was groen van die muf. Ek sal beslis nie weer van Out of Africa gebruik maak nie. Dit is die eerste keer wat ek so slegte ervaring gehad het onder een van die verblyf-opsies.

Upon arrival there is not a guard or any staff member to show you where to go. Signage after reception is all there is to change. There was a candle available for the load shedding. The small piece we received in the accommodation was not even 10cm long. No matches to light it with. The bedding was dirty. It had stains and there were mouse droppings in the bedding. There was even hair on the pillows. Towels provided are very old. Dirty marks were clearly visible on the towels. Some of the towels even had holes in them. The shower head was broken and was spraying water in all directions. Shower floor was green with mold. I will definitely not use Out of Africa again. This is the first time I have had such a bad experience under one of the accommodation options.

The bath was creepy. Green stuff around the jets. We stood and showered in the bath with hand wash. Didn't want to sit down.

We had a good time in the bar area but everything is so dark and doesn't welcome you at all. My husband had to go to the toilet with me in the visiting area because it is so far and hidden and dark.

Very disappointing. It was not what we expected.

Four of us went away for the night to celebrate my birthday and we were very disappointed. The marketing on this accommodation, far outweighs the experience. We booked two separate chalets. Both were what not was expected. The website completely oversells the place. The one (more "luxurious") unit had two wasp nests, right outside the door, leading to the outdoor (poorly kept) shower. The TV did not work. The second unit was dirty. The linen was dirty, the bath was dirty (with blue stuff all over) and cracked. It was extremely unpleasant. Not one person showered or bathed as it was too filthy. We were also assured that both units had queen sized beds. The second chalet had a double bed, that had what looked like dry blood on the duvet cover. The staff was not very friendly either. And so much for no noise after 8pm (which we stuck to). There was a party within the accommodation that were so loud until about 2am. I am extremely displeased as I booked the accommodation and everyone who joined me to celebrate my big day, were unhappy. I have photos of the dirty linen and bath, if you would like them.

Ek en my man het weggebreek vir 'n langnaweek - dit was rustig, skoon en naby toeristeaantrekkings. Ons het die tydjie saam geniet - plekkie was goed ingerig.

Quiet getaway with my husband for a long weekend.

Fantasties en romanties!

Daar was geen seep nie. Kan nie onthou of ons ons eie moes vat nie, het maar gaan koop. Sal net saamvat in die toekoms om veilig te wees. Iemand se hond het amper heelnag geblaf. Was nogal baie irriterend. Verder sal ons definitief weer daar oorslaap en die plek aanbeveel. So in-die-bos gevoel. Was baie lekker. Die 4 sakkies suiker is net bietjie min. My man alleen drink 4 suikers. Sal volgende keer ons eie koffie en suiker bring.

Fantastic and romantic!

There was no soap. Can't remember if we had to take our own, just went to buy. Will just combine in the future to be safe. Someone's dog barked almost all night. Was quite annoying. Furthermore, we will definitely stay there again and recommend the place. Such an in-the-woods feeling. Was very nice. The 4 bags of sugar are just a little bit. My husband alone drinks 4 sugars. Will bring our own coffee and sugar next time.

Awesome accommodation venue, truly an awesome place to get away at affordable Rate.

We enjoyed the venue/setup. It would be a plus if there was room service and DStv. However its not a must as we are on holiday/break. Everything about the place is appropriate to the season so I'll definitely be making another booking.

Die omgewing is baie mooi, voel of jy in die natuur is.

Daar is nie warm water in die wasbak nie. Die wasbak is baie onprakties want die waterpyp is te laag en dus kan jy nie jou gesig of hare was nie, jy stamp jou kop. Die stortdeur was gebreek en die handdoekreling was los van die muur. Die wit handdoeke het vuil merke opgehad. Aanwysings wys nie op Google-map nie. Dit sal waardeer word indien daar koffie ens. is met aankoms asook met vertrek. Aanwysings binne-in lodge is nie baie duidelik nie. Nie geweet van restaurant nie. Die bly was baie lekker, moet ons nie verkeerd verstaan nie, net aanbevelings vir ander gaste in die toekoms.

The surroundings are very beautiful, feel like you are in nature.

There is no hot water in the sink. The sink is very impractical because the water pipe is too low and therefore you can't wash your face or hair, you hit your head. The shower door was broken and the towel rail was loose from the wall. The white towels had dirty marks on them. Directions do not show on Google Map. It would be appreciated if there is coffee etc. is on arrival as well as on departure. Directions inside lodge are not very clear. Didn't know about restaurant. The stay was very nice, don't get us wrong, only recommendations for other guests in the future.

Lekker rustige omgewing, het heelwat wild gesien toe ons gaan stap het, en het 2 kameelperde by die watergat gesien.

Ons het in die Ndebele-rondawel gebly - die foto's op julle blad vertoon egter baie mooier as wanneer mens daar is, dit is donker as mens daar instap, want daar is nie vensters nie, net houthortjies (wat kan oopmaak) - maar dan weet mens nie watter goggas kom alles in nie. Dit sê wel op julle blad dat daar hortjies is, maar die foto's op julle blad vertoon dit baie mooier. Selfs met die ligte aan was dit vir my donker. Die hortjies het nie gordyntjies nie, so as mens dit oopmaak, is daar geen privaatheid nie. Die houthortjies sluit ook nie dig nie, so ons het gery en goed vir muskiete gaan koop. Die spa-bad was heerlik, hoewel dit nie goed lyk nie, lyk soos veselglas waarmee dit reggemaak is, so dit vertoon vuil en grof en glad nie mooi nie. Ek het eers hele bad uitgewas voor ons dit gebruik het, so hoewel dit skoon was, lyk dit vuil. Het egter lekker geslaap. Daar was ook skottelgoed op die afdroograkkie toe ons daar aankom, wat weggepak moes gewees het.

Nice peaceful environment, saw a lot of wildlife when we went for a walk, and saw 2 giraffes at the water hole.

We stayed in the Ndebele rondavel - however, the photos on your page show much more beautiful than when you are there, it is dark when you walk in, because there are no windows, only wooden shutters (that can open) - but then you know you don't know what bugs get into everything. It does say on your page that there are shutters, but the photos on your page show it much better. Even with the lights on it was dark for me. The shutters do not have curtains, so when you open them, there is no privacy. The wooden shutters don't close tightly either, so we drove and bought things for mosquitoes. The spa bath was lovely, although it doesn't look good, looks like fiberglass it was fixed with, so it looks dirty and gross and not pretty at all. I washed the entire tub before we used it, so although it was clean, it looks dirty. Slept well though. There were also dishes on the drying rack when we got there, which should have been put away.

Mooi oord, maar baie luidrigtig.

Die naweek by Out of Africa het goed begin. Dis 'n baie mooi oord, met 'n slim uitleg van die Rondawels en oord. Ek sal dus nie Out of Africa kan aanbeveel vir mense wat 'n rustige naweek weg soek nie. Die rondawel was netjies, maar vuil. Ons moes vra dat beddegoed vervang word a.g.v. 'n laag stof op die kussingslope, duvet en komberse. Beide Vrydag en Saterdag het inwoners harde musiek by die swembad gespeel, waar jy dit tot in die rondawel kan hoor. Ons moes bel om te vra of hulle met die inwoners sal praat om die volume te verlaag. Reëls wat harde musiek by die swembad en by die rondawels sal verhoed, sal geïmplementeer moet word.

Nice resort, but very noisy.

The weekend at Out of Africa started well. It's a very nice resort, with a smart layout of the Rondawels and resort. I would therefore not be able to recommend Out of Africa to people looking for a quiet weekend away. The rondavel was neat, but dirty. We had to ask for bed linen to be replaced due to a layer of dust on the pillowcases, duvet and blankets. Both Friday and Saturday, residents played loud music at the pool, where you could hear it all the way to the rondavel. We had to call to ask if they would talk to the residents to lower the volume. Rules that will prevent loud music at the pool and at the rondavels will have to be implemented.

Sou net se dat hulle meer versorging maak op die muskiete. Dit was onaangenaam toe die krag af was met die loadshedding, ons was omtrent deur die muskiete opgeëet toe die waaier af was, maar oor die algemeen was dit 'n goeie plek om bietjie weg te breek.

Sal nie die hout cabin aanbeveel nie.

Laat ek begin deur te sê ek besef mens betaal 'n laer prys vir hierdie eenheid, en tot 'n mate sal mens natuurlik ander geriewe ontvang as jy meer betaal. Dit is moeilik om op die foto's 'n goeie idee te kry van die presiese uitleg. Die hout cabin verskaf regtig die ware minimum van wat mens sal benodig. Dis 'n een-vertrek cabin, met die dubbelbed wat net-net in die vertrek pas. Die cabin het geen insulasie nie, en die son het hom vuurwarm gebak. Dit was koeler buite as binne. Die badkamer is net 'n inham in die klein vertrek en het nie 'n deur nie. Daar is geen koffie, tee, suiker of melk nie. Jy kry slegs 'n sakkie kitskoffie wat klaar suiker en melkpoeier in het. Ek wil ook noem dat daar 'n inhaak-slot aan beide kante van die deur is, so iemand kan die deur van die buitekant af sluit, apart van die slot aan die binnekant. Hierdie is maar net 'n paar goed wat ek dink mens vooraf moet weet. Die hout cabin is glad nie wat ek sal aanbeveel as jy enigsins van plan is om deur die dag tyd by die lodge te spandeer nie - dalk as jy regtig net daar wil slaap in die aand. Ek sal weer by Out of Africa bespreek, maar eerder by 'n ander eenheid wat meer gemaklik uitgelê is en bietjie meer spasie bied.

Would not recommend the log cabin.

Let me start by saying that I realize you are paying a lower price for this unit, and to some extent you will of course receive other amenities if you pay more. It is difficult to get a good idea of the exact layout from the photos. The log cabin really provides the true minimum of what one will need. It's a one-room cabin, with the double bed that just barely fits in the room. The cabin has no insulation, and the sun baked him hot. It was cooler outside than inside. The bathroom is just a cove in the small room and does not have a door. There is no coffee, tea, sugar or milk. You only get a bag of instant coffee that already has sugar and milk powder in it. I also want to mention that there is a latch lock on both sides of the door, so someone can lock the door from the outside, separate from the lock on the inside. These are just a few things that I think one should know in advance. The log cabin is not at all what I would recommend if you have any intention of spending time at the lodge during the day - maybe if you really just want to sleep there in the evening. I would book with Out of Africa again, but rather with another unit that is more comfortably laid out and offers a bit more space.

Lekker, maar geen warm water.

Ons het oornagverblyf by Out of Africa gereël omdat ons 'n troue moes bywoon wat reeds 3 uur sou begin. Ons kon eers 2 uur in klok so ons tyd was min. Toe ons na middernag terugkom was daar geen warm water nie. Toe my man die volgende oggend by ontvangs gaan vra was ons gesê om iets te gelees het waar hulle dit spesifiseer. Nie 'n idee waar ons dit moes gelees het nie. Andersins was ons warm ontvang by hul pragtige ontvangs en het vinnig uitgeklok die oggend sonder enige probleme. Kan 'n pragtige plek wees maar kort net 'n bietjie sorg en aandag.

Nice, but no hot water.

We arranged overnight accommodation at Out of Africa because we had to attend a wedding that was due to start at 3 o'clock. We could only clock 2 hours so our time was short. When we returned after midnight there was no hot water. When my husband went to ask reception the next morning we were told to have read something where they specified it. No idea where we should have read that. Otherwise, we were warmly welcomed at their beautiful reception and quickly checked out in the morning without any problems. Could be a beautiful place but just needs some care and attention.

Aankoms was ons relatief vriendelik ontvang. Die eennheid was netjies. Beurtkrag het natuurlik 'n demper geplaas, maar dit is die set norm vir SA.

Die bemarking van Out Of Africa is misleidend, daar is nie 'n queen grootte bed nie, maar twee enkelbedens wat langs mekaar geskuif is, dit het die slaap bietjie bemoeilik omdat die bedens skuif. Die ketel was onbruikbaar omdat dit met een of ander chemical skoongemaak is, dus moes ons n potjie gebruik om water te kook vir koffie. Daar was ook geen kamerdiens, in terme van skoonmaak op die Vrydag, ek reken dit was agv die publieke vakansiedag. Verder is die bemarking ook misleidend omrede daar gesê is die eenheid is afgesonder maar inteendeel wil dit voorkom of die eenheid op 'n privaat perseel is. Alhoewel die eienaar vriendelik was het mens tog gevoel jy "invade" sy privaatheid. Die lodge kan ook dalk bietje meer moeite doen om verblyf regtig meer romanties te maak vir gaste, die eenheid het potensiaal om 'n uitblinker romantiese wegbreek te wees. Ons het on kuier egter geniet.

On arrival we were received relatively kindly. The unit was neat. Weight of course put a dampener, but that is the set norm for SA.

The marketing of Out Of Africa is misleading, there is not a queen size bed, but two single beds that have been moved next to each other, it made sleeping a bit difficult because the beds move. The kettle was unusable because it had been cleaned with some chemical, so we had to use a pot to boil water for coffee. There was also no room service, in terms of cleaning on the Friday, I believe it was due to the public holiday. Furthermore, the marketing is also misleading because it has been said that the unit is isolated but on the contrary it would appear that the unit is on a private site. Although the owner was friendly, you still felt like you were "invading" his privacy. The lodge could also do a bit more to make the stay really more romantic for guests, the unit has potential to be an outstanding romantic getaway. However, we enjoyed our visit.

Ons was in die omgewing vir 'n troue Saterdag en het besluit om een dag vroër weg te breek.

Ek voel 'n mens moet ingelig word dat die grootpad se pad geraas baie erg is, net sodat mens nie met 'n verkeerde verwagting daar opdaag nie. Die matrasse is in 'n gehawende toestand. Die soldervertrek se beddens kraak sodat die mense wat direk onder slaap elke keer wakker word as iemand daarbo roer of omdraai.

We were in the area for a wedding on Saturday and decided to break away one day early.

I feel that one should be informed that the highway's road noise is very bad, just so that one does not arrive there with the wrong expectation. The mattresses are in a battered condition. The attic room's beds creak so that the people sleeping directly below wake up every time someone stirs or turns over there.

The pictures look much better than it actually is. Beauty and comfort are a requirement when we visit a place and now the place did not meet my requirements.

The beds are terribly uncomfortable with springs that stick into your back. The towels provided were full of dirty spots. Will definitely not visit Hartbeespoort again.

Blykbaar is dit nuwe eienaars. Blykbaar besig om plek reg te maak, maar op dié stadium sal ek niemand aanraai om op die oomblik daar te bespreek nie. Dit was na baie besprekings die 1ste groot teleurstelling wat ek aan kan dink.

It is a homely environment.

If your pocket is low but you need a mini vacation away from city life then this is great. There is a garage around to buy basic things you forgot to pack. I really liked it.

Lieflike, unieke wegbreek.

Out of Africa is 'n baie oulike wegbreekplek in die bos met baie bokkies en daar is selfs 'n grot wat Boesmantekeninge in het. Ek dink 'n mens moet 'n 4x4 hê om in die bos in te kan ry en die kameelperde te sien, maar vir mense met gewone karre is daar ook rooibokkies wat naby aan die huisies wei. Die hutte is ook pragtig gemaak, alhoewel daar nie geriewe soos handeseep was nie, was dit steeds 'n lekker ruim woonstel vir 2 mense. Daar is ook 'n buitestort vir as jy in die natuur wil stort. Die mense is ook uiters vriendelik en so tegemoetkomend! Ons kon eers laat die aand inklok oor 'n vlug en hulle het geduldig gewag. Ek is baie dankbaar daarvoor. Dit was 'n wonderlike rustige naweek.

Lovely, unique getaway.

Out of Africa is a very cute getaway in the forest with lots of goats and there is even a cave that has Bushman drawings in it. I think you have to have a 4x4 to be able to drive into the forest and see the giraffes, but for people with normal cars there are also roebucks that graze close to the houses. The cabins are also beautifully done, although there were no amenities like hand soap, it was still a nice spacious apartment for 2 people. There is also an outdoor shower for if you want to shower in nature. The people are also extremely friendly and so accommodating! We were only able to check in late at night due to a flight and they waited patiently. I am very grateful for that. It was a wonderful peaceful weekend.

Ons het werklik 'n baie lekker besoek gehad. Die kinders het die jetbad geniet en ons het heerlik kon braai.

Ons het eers laat gearriveer as gevolg van verkeer. Sonja het opgevolg op ons beplanning en het gereël vir addisionele personeel om ons te ontvang. Daar was vir ons spesiaal hout aangery en ons het so lekker gebraai in ons eie private boma. Die kamer was skoon en netjies en het alles bevat wat ons benodig het. Ons het die volgende oggend gaan stap en dit was heerlik. Ek sal graag weer daar gaan bly, glo die swembaddens sal ook benut word in die somer maande.

We only arrived late due to traffic. Sonja followed up on our planning and arranged for additional staff to receive us. Wood was brought specially for us and we had such a nice barbecue in our own private boma. The room was clean and tidy and had everything we needed. We went for a walk the next morning and it was lovely. I would love to stay there again, believe the swimming pools will also be used in the summer months.

Nice.

A lovely room, super relaxing jacuzzi bath. Great friendly and helpful service. Complaints: The room is right next to parking which was full from 5am every morning with noisy hikers arriving and the pool was really dirty and badly maintained. We ended up going somewhere else during the day to find a pool elsewhere.

Baie rustig. Ons was daar om te ontspan, en dis wat ons kon doen.

Absoluut geen klagtes nie. Wens ons kon nog 'n aand of 2 bly. Soos 'n nuwe mens gevoel toe ons by die huis kom. Enigste voorstel wat ek sou maak, is om te spesifiseer watse DSTV pakket daar is. Ons was daar op die naweek van die Currie Beker finaal en was onder die indruk dat ons dit daar sou kon kyk. Maar ons sal definitief weer kom draai. Ongelooflik lekker gebly.

Very calm. We were there to relax, and that's what we could do.

Absolutely no complaints. Wish we could have stayed another night or 2. Felt like a new person when we got home. Only suggestion I would make is to specify which DSTV package is there. We were there on the weekend of the Currie Cup final and were under the impression that we would be able to watch it there. But we will definitely come back again. Incredibly nice stay.

Lekker rustig.

Voel net dat die braai area by Cabin 1 se trappe te hoog is en ver van kajuit, ons was twee ouer dames en het gesukkel om met al ons braaigoedjies by die trappe op en af te kom, verder was alles baie lekker en gerieflik.

Lekker rustig en naby meeste trou venues.

Die Bushbaby-eenheid was skoon en netjies met genoeg toerusting, asook braaitoerusting. Daar was ’n beperkte vooraad koffie, dus moet jy maar saambring as jy meer as een keer gaan maak. Die sitbank was bietjie verniel en daar is gate/merke in houtdeure. Die bad is lekker groot en warm water was geen problem nie. Daar is ook n rustieke-tipe buitestort en wandelpadjies. Die Springbokkies loop oral en daar is ’n klein gemeenskaplike swembad. Regtig in ’n mooi omgewing teen billike koste.

Nice and quiet and close to most wedding venues.

The Bushbaby unit was clean and tidy with enough equipment, as well as barbecue equipment. There was a limited supply of coffee, so you have to bring it with you if you are going to make more than once. The couch was a bit vandalized and there are holes/marks in the wooden doors. The bath is nice and big and hot water was no problem. There is also a rustic-type outdoor shower and walking paths. The Springboks run everywhere and there is a small communal swimming pool. Really in a nice environment at a reasonable cost.

Saterdag was daar 'n troue en die gaste het ons ingeparkeer. Die sluitslot in die solderkamer moet vervang word asook die potte. 'n Besem sal ook help. Die water het gelek onder die kombuiswasbak.

Baie aangenaam en lekker.

Die Ndebele huisies waarin ons gebly het, het nie genoeg plek gehad om te sit en eet nie. Selfs 'n plastiektafel sou help. Die warm water se kraan het geen druk nie, ons moes 'n uur wag vir 'n bad om te tap en dan was die water koud, omrede hy so lank vat om te tap. Verder as dit, het ons lekker gebly. Netjies en skoon. Die mense daar is baie vriendelik.

Was relaxed, peaceful, private and romantic.

It was just what me and my hubby needed. The gate remote given to enter and leave on your own made all more private an felt at ease to leave if had an emergency, like kids. The bath/jacuzzi inside made me and hubby found our romantic side again. The atmosphere is so peaceful and silent. Space between other is enough and felt private and made our space our space our own quickly. It is clean inside and all needed is available, and I was sad to have the weekend come to an end. We must go again soon.

Ons het baie lekker gebly, sal weer daar bespreek.

Hulle kan gerus vir die gaste vertel wat daar is om te doen in Hartbeespoort en op Out of Africa Lodge, en dat daar wild is en die mense kan deur die plek ry om te kyk. Hulle kan ook dalk net 'n foto opsit van hoe die blyplekkies lyk buite dat mens nie onverwags moet hoor jy bly dalk in 'n houthuisie nie.

Die kuier was okay.

Ons het nie die chalet gekry wat adverteer is en waarvoor ons betaal het nie. Ander gaste het Saterdagoggend tot middag hard musiek gespeel en lawaai by die swembad wat die rustigheid van alles ontneem het. Daar het bruin vuilgeid uit die bad se jets gevloei wat baie afsittend was en dus kon ons dit nie gebruik of geniet nie. Ons chalet was steeds baie mooi en het dit geniet.

Baie lekker naweekie gewees!!!

Was n baie lekker naweek gewees om weg te breuk van die stad af en geraas! Kamer was perfek skoon en goed uiteen gele en die spa bad dit nog beter gemaak! Klein goedjies wat ons persoonlik sou aanbeveel: 1. Vensters gordyntjies of so aan sodat privaatheid bietjie beter voel, hout venstertjies was reg gewees maar mens soek daai 100% privaatheid sodat niemand net kan inkyk nie, selfs die voordeur ook. 2. Ons was een aandjie daar, inklok tye vir naweek wegbreuke dalk skuif na 12h00 toe? Ons sou graag wou deurstap en die plek bietjie meer verken en sou kon doen met ekstra twee ure. Verder as die was daar regtig niks om oor te kan klae nie! Sal definitief sonder twyfel weer terugkeer!

Had a very nice weekend!!!

Was a very nice weekend to break away from the city and noise! Room was perfectly clean and well laid out and the spa bath made it even better! Little things we would personally recommend: 1. Window curtains or something so that privacy feels a little better, wooden windows would have been fine but you are looking for that 100% privacy so that no one can just look in, even the front door. 2. We were there one night, check-in times for weekend breaks maybe move to 12h00? We would have liked to walk through and explore the place a bit more and could do with an extra two hours. Other than that there was really nothing to complain about! Will definitely return again without a doubt!

Wonderlike verblyf, sal weer teruggaan.

Ons het baie lekker gebly, is net die cabin waar ons gebly het het nie 'n afdak gehad by die braai-area nie en daar was baie goggas soos spinnekoppe in ons kamer gewees. Anders was dit 'n wonderlike wegbreek gewees.

Wonderful stay, will go back again.

We had a great stay, only the cabin we stayed in didn't have a roof over the braai area and there were a lot of bugs like spiders in our room. Otherwise it would have been a wonderful getaway.

Relaxing and Tranquil

The chalets were first and foremost clean and neat. We did not have to bring any cutlery, crockery or blankets. Everything we needed was there and housekeeping kept our chalets clean at all times. My family and I were very happy with our stay. The lighting at the pool area needs improvement. An awesome stay nonetheless :)

Pleasantly surprised. Wonderful stay.

Loved the little things like the braai area which has table and chairs and outside light. The cave with bushman paintings, swimming pool, and the willingness to assist when asked. Cleanroom, spotless linen, and towels. Fridge, kettle, microwave. Hot water great. Suggest a shower curtain for the privacy of the cabin bathroom and towel pole to be tightened. Awesome stay.

Netjies en rustig.

Die Treehouse wat ons bespreek het was netjies en skoon. Dit was lekker rustig met geen geraas. Die swembad is bietjie ver, en ek sou graag 'n swembad nader aan die eenheid geniet het. Maar bo en behalwe dit sal ek dit definitief aanbeveel as jy 'n rustige naweek wegbreek wil geniet.

Neat and quiet.

The Treehouse we booked was neat and clean. It was nice and quiet with no noise. The pool is a bit far, and I would have liked a pool closer to the unit. But on top of that I would definitely recommend it if you want to enjoy a quiet weekend getaway.

Ons was 'n groep vriende wat my man se verjaarsdag gevier het in Harties. Out of Africa was 'n goedkoop opsie vir 'n groep mense en die kuier was heerlik. 'n Boswegbreek vir een aand.

Die boonste kamer (loft-kamer van Zebra) se houtvloere het vreeslik gekraak en geraas, kort dalk bietjie aandag.

Goeie naweekwegbreek.

Out of Africa is sentraal geleë naby al die besienswaardighede wat die omgewing bied. Die plaas is pragtig en daar is 'n baie lekker staproete op die plaas waartydens mens die mooi natuurskoon in die omgewing van nader kan bewonder. As jy 'n voëlkyker is, is die plaas die perfekte plek, daar is regtig 'n verskeidenheid van voëlspesies op die plaas, selfs roofvoëls. Die plek het 'n kleinerige swembad om in af te koel, die restaurant is nie regtig in werking nie, en die eetgerei in die rondawel is maar skrams maar verder is alles baie netjies. Skoonmaakdienste is by die prys ingesluit wat 'n groot bonus is.

Good weekend break.

Out of Africa is centrally located close to all the attractions that the area has to offer. The farm is beautiful and there is a very nice walking trail on the farm during which one can admire the beautiful scenery in the area from closer. If you are a bird watcher, the farm is the perfect place, there is really a variety of bird species on the farm, even birds of prey. The place has a small swimming pool to cool off in, the restaurant is not really in operation, and the cutlery in the rondavel is a bit sketchy but otherwise everything is very neat. Cleaning services are included in the price which is a big bonus.

Mooi plek. Skoon onder, maar balke vol stof, kort 'n stoof, potte en meer eetgerei. As dit reën gaan jy honger slaap, kort 'n swembad as dit warm is. Ek dink die prys is bietjie hoog vir Tree House.

Looks great on paper, but a real disappointment in real life.

The website paint a beautiful picture of the facility, but from the arrival this picture changed quite quickly for us. The reception and "to-be" lounge are are not in use. The room has no windows, and although this is indicated on the website, one does not realise that there are only wooden panel in the place of windows, and with no aircon one cannot leave these open at all as anyone can then look into the unit. The bath had damage marks on it and was repaired really bad. On complaining about this, we were offered the Honeymoon Suite. It sounded great, unit we got to the unit. The wooden deck in front of the door was broken and one can step through the deck planks. These were no water. The ablutions are down stairs, with a room so big you can easily add a toilet on the first floor. We then ended up going back to the original unit. It is sad, but in my opinion the place looks run down and old. Would need some critical work to get this estate back to where it was 6 year ago when we last visited.

Dear Jaco,

We are sorry to see that the lodge did not meet your expectations.

You booked in the Ndebele Chalet. The windows are wood and is a feature of our Ndebele Chalets.

There was no water for 10 minutes. We called and said that the water will be back on in 10 minutes but you already came down to say you would rather stay at the Ndebele Chalet.

Regards,
Out of Africa Lodge

Teleurstellend. Geen diens.

Geen kamerdiens. Gaste voel nie baie welkom. Ons moes gaan koffie en melk ens koop. Daar is net vir een dag voorsien. Chalet kort ook aandag. Veral die houtvloere.

Nie vir 'n vakansie nie, slegs oorslaap.

Geen aktiwiteite vir jongmense nie. Diere is 'n pluspunt. Die hoofpad is te naby aan die lodge, voertuie raas die hele nag deur.

Very disappointed.

We booked the Tree House hoping to have a relaxing evening but found that the jets in the bath are filthy and the bedside lamp had a short due to the power cable having a poor joint/connection in the cable. For the price we paid and what we got we will never go back to Out of Africa again.

Wonderlike wegbreek.

Ek en my meisie het die boomhuis geboek en dit was fantasties. Dit was baie stil en geissoleer. Perfek vir enige paartjie wat wil rus en vrede vir 'n naweek wil hê. Dit is baie skoon en veilig. Die enigste klag is maar net die hoeveelheid koffie wat verksaf was (maar 2 sakkies die hele naweek) en daar was wynglase maar daar was nie 'n kurktrekker nie, maar anders was dit fantasties. Vir seker waarde vir die geld. Vat my advies, vat die ontbyt wat hulle aanbied.

My girlfriend and I booked the tree house and it was fantastic. It was very quiet and isolated. Perfect for any couple wanting peace and quiet for a weekend. It is very clean and safe. The only complaint is the amount of coffee that was served (only 2 bags the whole weekend) and there were wine glasses but no corkscrew, but otherwise it was fantastic. Definitely value for money. Take my advice, take the breakfast they offer.

Teleurstellend.

Die Ndebele hut was glad nie wat ons gedink het dit sou wees nie. Vensters en deur maak glad nie ordentlik toe nie, en dit was nogal koud binne. Geen effektiewe verwarmer nie, middel van winter. Die bedlampies het nie gewerk nie, en bad in aaklige toestand. Deurslot is oneffektief, en ons het glad nie veilig gevoel nie. Vir 4 ster-verblyf sou ek werklik bietjie meer verwag.

It was not as advertised.

It cost R3 600 for 3 people for 2 nights. One of the reasons I chose this place was because it has a Jacuzzi. Only when we arrived, was it pointed out that only some of the chalets have a Jacuzzi. Mine was not one of them. You, not just the establishment, have to make sure that things like this are transparent and not hidden in the text! The stove is completely laughable. No oven and 1 hotplate for a 6 sleeper. It's a funny sunbeam with no instructions on how to use it, I needed to phone reception to get someone to explain how to switch it on. No outside furniture, although there's a huge braai area. I had to ask for chairs to be sent. The dining table/kitchen nook is bar height, but standard chairs are provided, basically you can't sit to eat at the table! The venue is lovely albeit a bit noisy from the outside road. The bedrooms and bathrooms are lovely and the linen was clean and new. I really don't think it was worth what I paid for.

Verblyf was nie wat ons verwag het nie.

Glad nie kindervriendelik nie. Swembad so groot soos 'n visdam. Geen grasperk of uitspanplek. Grond dorings en klippe. Baie onversorg. Rondawel het geen handdoekrelings in die badkamer of by die bad nie. Daar is ook geen hangers aan die relings nie. Meubels binne is baie oud en kan vervang word. Planke voor vensters is regtig onooglik. Boomhuis is mooi vir oornag. Hierdie plek het potensiaal, dit moet net ontgin word. Ek sal egter nie weer daarheen gaan.

Not kid friendly at all. Swimming pool the size of a fishpond. No lawn or playground. Ground thorns and stones. Very unkempt. Rondawel has no towel rails in the bathroom or by the bath. There are also no hangers on the rails. Furniture inside is very old and could be replaced. Boards in front of windows are really unsightly. Tree house is nice for overnight. This place has potential, it just needs to be exploited. However, I will not go there again.

Foto's lyk beter as realiteit.

Die Jacuzzi was reggemaak met veselglas en oorgeverf en het grillerig gelyk. Beddegoed skoon en luuks. Vensters is houtdeurtjies wat oopmaak, geen glas, so indien dit baie koud is, sal jy vensters moet toe hou en ligte aansit vir lig. Braaier se rooster was vuil en ons moes vra dat iemand dit kom skoonmaak. Gratis ontbyt die Sondag was baie lekker gewees en 'n aangename verrassing. Dit help nie 'n plek sit foto's van 'n Jacuzzi op as al die Jacuzzi's nie so lyk nie. Dit was baie grillerig en die enigste plek waarin mens kon bad, so 'n mens moes dit gebruik.

Photos look better than reality.

The Jacuzzi had been fixed with fiberglass and painted over and looked creepy. Bedding clean and luxurious. Windows are wooden doors that open, no glass, so if it's very cold, you'll have to close windows and turn on lights for light. Braaier's grill was dirty and we had to ask for someone to come and clean it. Free breakfast on Sunday was very nice and a pleasant surprise. It doesn't help a place to put pictures of a Jacuzzi if all the Jacuzzis don't look like that. It was very creepy and the only place one could bathe in, so one had to use it.

Dit was stil en rustige ervaring, weg van die stad se lawaai.

Ons is lief vir die bosveld en natuur. Out of Africa was die ideale wegbreek wat ons nodig gehad het. Dit was stil en rustig, weg van die stad se lawaai. Ek was mal oor die uitleg van die Ndebele rondawel waar ons gebly. Ons het alles gehad wat ons nodig gehad het. Dit was 'n awesome naweek. Sal definitief weer gaan.

Lekker innie bos.

Vriendelike ontvangs. Rondawel baie netjies en gerieflik. Borrelbad in rondawel 'n treffer. Opbouende kritiek: Die TV in rondawel (Wou net rugby Saterdag aand 22h00 kyk), moet eerder verwyder word of verkykers moet voorsien word om dit raak te sien. (Dateer uit die vorige dekade). Daardie Brakpan braaier buite die rondawel, eish ... say no more.

Friendly reception. Rondawel very neat and comfortable. Hot tub in rondavel a hit. Constructive criticism: The TV in rondawel (Just wanted to watch rugby on Saturday night at 10pm), should be removed instead or binoculars should be provided to see it. (Dating from the previous decade). That Brakpan braai outside the rondavel, eish ... say no more.

Baie verwaarloos.

Die wooneenheid is ruim en akkommodeer maklik 4 volwassenes. Die plek is erg verwaarloos. Die hoofslaapkamer se matras is deurgeslaap. Die plek is uitgeverf maar hulle het sommer oor die gordyne en blindings geverf. Die stort is onafgewerk en onklaar. Buite gee algemene indruk van slordigheid. Die stoepmeubels is vervalle en vuil.

The living unit is spacious and easily accommodates 4 adults. The place is badly neglected. The master bedroom's mattress has been slept through.

The patio furniture is dilapidated and dirty.

The place is not a reflection of the pictures. The unit was dirty, the furniture is old, the swimming pool is very small, it's a splash pool. Not impressed at all.

The accommodation is a far cry from what they advertised. There is no shelter for vehicles. The beds are hard and don't have a proper base. The utensils are old, the microwave was ancient and didn't work most of the time. The place was a let down.

Baie lekker.

Ons het in Penthouse gebly en die volgende probleme ondervind: die dakwaaier het nie gewerk en het klein waaier gekry wat nie baie gehelp het nie. Die yskassie was heeltemal te klein en daar is nie 'n mikrogolfoond nie. Die koffie en tee is is te min vir elke oggend en die laaste oggend is daar nie eers melk uitgesit nie. Die opsigters is egter baie vriendelik en behulpsaam, en die ontbyt was goed - net n bietjie min en elke dag dieselfde.

However, the caretakers are very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was good - just a little bit and the same every day.

Great, rustic bush getaway, a stone-throw away from JHB

It was a great break - the refreshments (teas & coffees) were not enough- but then again I guess that is why its called self catering. All in all a good stay - will definitely come back. It was a very nice surprise to see the wildlife - we had a pair of giraffes visiting us and they spent about 15 minutes just outside our lodge - great photo moments!

No fan or air conditioning in our room.

Well packed breakfast packs, as we left early that next morning. This was only a stay-over. We however had one of the worst nights ever in a guesthouse due to the lack of a cooling fan, At least, it was tremendously hot in the room and consequently had to open the windows. The mosquitoes was plentiful. We could not sleep at all, especially from 10 pm onwards. I tried to look for a fan, but could not find one. Please make sure to place a fan in the guesthouse or room for your guests. Guests definitely does not want experiences like that and it was really disappointing for us. On the positive side: the rooms and guesthouse and location is great. Sometimes it is the smaller things like room maintenance, practical necessities (like a fan at least) and a special, nice breakfast that would put the “cherry on the cake” of a good guesthouse.

Nie op standaard nie!

Dink nie die gradering is reg nie. Die ontbyt word voor die tyd gemaak en dan net weer in die mikrogolfoond warm gemaak. Die porsies vir mans en vroue is presies dieselfde. Hoewel die eenheid gedeeltelik selfsorg is, is daar geen werkoppervlak nie. Daar was 'n kamer bo ons met 'n houtvloer en ons kon elke liewe beweging duidelik hoor. Daar was geen ys in die vrieskas nie en ons moes redelik ver ry om te gaan koop.

Not on standard!

Don't think the rating is right. The breakfast is made ahead of time and then just reheated in the microwave oven. The portions for men and women are exactly the same. Although the unit is partially self-catering, there is no work surface. There was a room above us with a wooden floor and we could clearly hear every dear movement. There was no ice in the freezer and we had to drive quite a distance to go shopping.

Ons het die dakwoonstel bespreek. Geen lugversorging. Dakwaaier werk nie. Staan waaier voorsien met tweepuntprop, maar geen "adapter" vir die muur nie. Yskas kan nie behoorlik oopmaak nie en werk nie voldoende nie. Vloerplanke stukkend. "Skirting" val van muur af. Toilet staan oop en bloot teen die muur met geen privaatheid nie. Nee wat, vir R950 per aand het ek al veel beter gehad. Lee het ons wel oorgeskuif na die wittebrood-suite toe. Baie beter, maar steeds geen lugversorging en geen waaier. Krane funksioneer nie almal nie. Skuifdeur se slot is weg.

Die diens was swak.

Die stilte van die bosveld is heerlik. Die kamer is nie dieselfde as wat geadverteer word nie (vir die prys). Geen lugversorgers of waaiers nie, skuif van een kamer na 'n ander as gevolg van 'n kamer bokant ons met houtvloere. Elke beweging, gesprek, geluid, iets wat val word so duidelik gehoor dat ons nie kon slaap nie! Die interieur van die kamers is definitief nie die prys werd nie. Die elektrisiteitsboks is nie weggesteek nie, die ligte het nie skerms op nie, ontbyt is vooraf in borde geskep en soos gaste aankom word dit in die mikrogolf warm gemaak. Dus is die roosterbrood kliphard en taai!

The service was poor.

The silence of the forest is wonderful. The room is not the same as advertised (for the price). No air conditioners or fans, moving from one room to another due to a room above us with wooden floors. Every movement, conversation, sound, something falling was heard so clearly that we couldn't sleep! The interior of the rooms is definitely not worth the price. The electricity box is not hidden, the lights do not have screens on them, breakfast is created in advance in plates and as guests arrive it is heated in the microwave. So the toast is rock hard and tough!

Nooit weer sal ek by Out of Africa gaan slaap of iemand aanbeveel nie.

Die mense is ongeskik en die kamers is vol vlooie. My bene was vol vlooibytmerke. Daar was nie waaiers of lugverkoelers nie. Die waaier wat wel in ons kamer was het almal se krag getrip.

Never again will I sleep at Out of Africa or recommend anyone.

The people are unfit and the rooms are full of fleas. My legs were full of flea bite marks. There were no fans or air coolers. The fan that was in our room tripped everyone's power.

Horrible!

The place was not what we expected at all. The entrance road to the reception area is bad, not all of us drive 4x4's. The pool was green and there were no activities on site at all, we specifically asked beforehand if there were and was told there's lots to do. There was no airconditioning or proper fans and the place is hot as hell. There is no proper parking at the cottage. It is definitely not value for money. We did not even stay 2 hours, would not recommend this place to anyone that wants to have a good holiday.

Dit was glad nie lekker nie.

Met ons aankoms het ons opgemerk dat daar mense by die swembad was wat alkohol gebruik. Mense van dieselfde groep is ook later opgemerk waar hulle met 'n wit Opel Corsa bakkie op die perseel rondry terwyl hulle alkohol gebruik. Ons het opgemerk dat die mense by die swembad onder die invloed was en as gevolg hiervan was ons nie gemaklik om ons kinders na die swembad area te neem nie. Ons het dus geen voordeel uit die swembad en omliggende area gekry nie. Dit was baie warm. Nie een van die twee kamers wat aan ons toegeken was, het 'n werkende lugversorger of waaier gehad nie. Ons moes Hartebeespoort toe ry en een gaan koop. Een van die twee kamers waar ons gebly het, het 'n baie klein yskassie gehad. Die yskassie se deur is gebuig en dit lek water op die vloer. Daar was geen beheer vanaf Out of Africa Gastehuis bestuur oor die gaste nie. Dieselfde groep mense wat ons hierbo genoem het, het die swembad-area tot laat in die aand beset terwyl hulle die hele tyd groot volumes alkohol ingeneem het. Ek en my vrou het in die "Honeymoon suite" geslaap, wat in die hoofkompleks naby die swembadarea geleë was. Ons het amper niks geslaap nie. Daar was 'n gekuier die hele nag tot en met sonopkoms die volgende oggend. Daar was, wat vir ons gelyk het soos gemeenskaplike badkamers, in die hoofgebou. Van die gaste gebruik hierdie badkamers sonder om die deur toe te maak. Op Kersoggend het ons opgestaan en reggemaak vir ontbyt wat 09:00 sou begin. Ons het ongeveer 08:45 in die sitkamerarea, wat reg langs die eetarea geleë was, ingestap om te wag vir die ontbyt. Ons kon nêrens sit nie aangesien daar van die ander gaste was wat die nag op die sitkamerbanke deurgebring het en nogsteeds daar gelê en slaap het. Daar was nêrens enige teken van die bestuur nie en daar was ook niemand by die ontvangs sodat mens dit kon rapporteer nie. Ons het opgemerk dat die tafel nie voorberei was vir ontbyt nie en daar was geen personeel teenwoordig in die kombuis nie. Daar was slegs gaste teenwoordig. Daar was ook geen elektrisiteit nie. My vrou kon dus ook nie haar hare versorg nie. Ons vind dit moeilik om te glo dat 'n gastehuis nie 'n kragopwekker het nie aangesien ons almal in Suid Afrika weet dat ons op 'n gereelde basis te doen het met beurtkrag en kragonderbrekings. As gevolg van bogenoemde punte, het die situasie by Out of Africa gastehuis vir ons onuithoudbaar geword en het ons besluit om liewers terug te keer huistoe. Ons het ons bagasie in ons motor gelaai en kon nie die sleutels by ontvangs inhandig nie aangesien daar nog steeds niemand daar teenwoordig was nie. 'n Man wat homself as Sterling voorgestel het, het aangestap gekom en gevra of ons iets nodig het. Ons het hom meegedeel dat ons die plek wil verlaat en hy het die sleutels by ons geneem. Ons weet nie of hy op die perseel werk nie, maar hy het glad nie gevra waarom ons die plek wil verlaat nie en ook nie na ons welstand nie. Ons is glad nie gelukkig met die diens wat ons by Out of Africa Gastehuis ontvang het nie.

It was not nice at all.

Upon our arrival we noticed that there were people at the pool using alcohol. People from the same group were also later spotted driving around the premises in a white Opel Corsa van while consuming alcohol. We noticed that the people at the pool were under the influence and as a result we were not comfortable taking our children to the pool area. So we didn't get any benefit from the pool and surrounding area. It was very hot. Neither of the two rooms we were allocated had a working air conditioner or fan. We had to drive to Hartebeespoort and buy one. One of the two rooms we stayed in had a very small fridge. The door of the small fridge is bent and it is leaking water on the floor. There was no control from Out of Africa Guesthouse management over the guests. The same group of people we mentioned above occupied the pool area late into the night, all the while consuming large volumes of alcohol. My wife and I slept in the "Honeymoon suite", which was located in the main complex near the pool area. We hardly slept. There was a party all night until sunrise the next morning. There were what looked to us like communal bathrooms in the main building. Some of the guests use these bathrooms without closing the door. On Christmas morning we got up and got ready for breakfast which would start at 9am. We walked into the lounge area, which was located right next to the dining area, around 8:45 AM to wait for breakfast. We couldn't sit anywhere as there were some of the other guests who had spent the night on the lounge sofas and were still lying there sleeping. There was no sign of the management anywhere and there was also no one at the reception so that one could report it. We noticed that the table was not prepared for breakfast and there were no staff present in the kitchen. There were only guests present. There was also no electricity. So my wife couldn't take care of her hair either. We find it hard to believe that a guest house does not have a generator as we all know in South Africa that we deal with load shedding and power outages on a regular basis. As a result of the above points, the situation at Out of Africa guest house became unbearable for us and we decided to return home. We loaded our luggage into our car and could not hand in the keys at reception as there was still no one present there. A man who introduced himself as Sterling walked up and asked if we needed anything. We told him that we wanted to leave the place and he took the keys from us. We don't know if he works on the premises, but he didn't ask at all why we wanted to leave the place, nor about our well-being. We are not at all happy with the service we received at Out of Africa Guest House.

Moeple Tree is 'n lekker rustige area waar jy kan ontspan!

Ek sal weer Moeple Tree gebruik as 'n naweekwegbreek saam met my familie of vriende. Sal in die gastehuis gaan bly en al my vriende nooi om saam my te kom kuier vir 'n lekker naweek weg!

Baie netjies en vriendelike mense.

Ons sou graag net wou weet watter deel van huis is toelaatbaar en watter nie. 'n Klein yskas in kamer of toegang na kombuis sou wonderlik gewees het.

Very neat and friendly people.

We would just like to know which part of house is permissible and which is not. A small fridge in room or access to kitchen would have been great.

Skoon, gerieflik en in die natuur!

Die mense was baie vriendelik en die suite was baie skoon en gemaklik. Toe ons 'n probleem ervaar het, het die eienaar hom dadelik daarop toegespit en in 'n japtrap uitsorteer. Die ontbyt was ook heerlik!

Die omgewing en bome is baie ontspannend!

Ek was 'n bietjie teleurgesteld in die toiletgeriewe, aangesien die waterbak vir spoeling nie volgetap het na gebruik nie en moes ons 'n 375 ml botteltjie gebruik het om dit vol te maak sodat die ketting kon spoel. Andersins was die verblyf aangenaam en die plekkie baie skoon en netjies. Daar was ook met die ontvangs geen kommunikasie deurgegee van hoe laat ontbyt die volgende oggend is nie, met die gevolg dat ons dit misgeloop het.

The environment and trees are very relaxing!

I was a bit disappointed with the toilet facilities as the water bowl for flushing did not fill up after use and we had to use a 375ml bottle to fill it up so the chain could flush. Otherwise, the stay was pleasant and the place very clean and tidy. There was also no communication from the reception about what time breakfast was the next morning, with the result that we missed it.

'n Pragtige area ten spyte van die water.

'n Pragtige area, maar as jy rondry voel jy onveilig met al die verkopers wat in jou motor inkyk om te sien wat daar is. Die water was baie groen in die krane en ondrinkbaar. Die kamer was skoon en die uitsig pragtig.

A beautiful area despite the water.

A beautiful area, but driving around you feel unsafe with all the vendors looking into your car to see what's there. The water in the taps was very green and undrinkable. The room was clean and the view beautiful.
