Very nice experience for our children in the forest life!
Lodge we lived in was beautiful! Neighbors behind us played rock-hard music until 5 in the morning, even after we asked them to sit down, they still continued to visit, which made the experience less pleasant.

Very nice visit, peaceful, apart from the above.
Stay was pleasant, apart from trash and barbecue which are not cleaned daily. We went to buy black bags for the trash ourselves. One roll of toilet paper is not enough for three people for a weekend; specify own toilet paper must be brought along. One bedside lamp didn't have a globe in it, sink didn't have a plug for dishes. We didn't use their crockery at all, brought our own, hope I don't get penalized on my deposit for the above.

Troupand is a beautiful house with facilities. The house does need some sharp knives and warmer blankets for cold nights. The exterior lights for security are important, but shine brightly into the room disturbing nighttime sleep. Suggest perhaps denser curtains.

Hi
Unfortunately, there was a water problem in the whole area that weekend, however, you were supplied with water when requested.
Our lodge is self-catering and you were advised that you were responsible for your own dishwashing liquid and that you were supposed to keep your unit clean.
You never mentioned the state in which you left the linen as well as the chalet. We actually had to replace the linen because in was so badly spoiled.

Finally a vacation spot where one can rest.
The 4 days in the forest was the best decision yet. There is a pool for the children to swim in and lots of sand to play with and sticks to draw pictures in the sand. I prefer Phumuza Lodge because there is nothing to rush about or do. I could totally rest and feel what it felt like to do nothing, there were enough places close enough to get a quick takeaway or sit down and eat.

The visit was a real woodland experience. Warm, dry and evening silence under the stars.
The Campbell's are very friendly and spared no effort to make us feel at home. The problem with the fabric not working was solved within half an hour. The bedding needs upgrading and storage space in the rooms and bathroom is a problem. Some kind of covering outside the log cabins, e.g. a layer of pebbles or grass like at the pool and main area will help reduce the dust in the cabins, which was quite a problem as we happened to experience a lot of wind/dust during our stay.

Dear Jaco,
We were extremely disappointed to read your review.
We have a strict no tolerance to any disturbance or noise policy. We adhere to this policy with no exceptions. Any noise that may have been experienced by yourselves was definitely ceased by 22.00, which is the generally accepted time. We monitor the noise level and accept no deviations. We were unaware of any exceptional noise while you were here. You never complained about the noise while you were on the lodge, if you had we would have definitely followed up.
Your comment about the units being too close is unfounded. Each unit has a distance of at least 50 m between them and is surrounded by natural bush and trees making them private.

Exactly what we were looking for.
We checked in on a Sunday after everyone had left, so we were the only guests on site, which was fantastic. Could sit alone at the lookout point and also enjoy the pool. The evening in the silence of the forest around the fire was great. There was some problem with the cottage we booked with the outside shower and kitchen. But was not the end of the world. The cottage we found was well equipped with everything we needed. We always say we are easygoing, fine with anything, as long as it is clean. But I was genuinely surprised at how clean the house was. There's not even one cobweb or nothing where you usually expect it in the roof or under the garden chairs and table outside. Will want to come again someday and bring the whole family to the big house for a little getaway.

It's the sort of place where you find peace for your soul with enough entertainment from the squirrels and bushbaies. There are buck tracks, bush paths and a very high viewing tower at a waterhole that we took over the tree tops. We really enjoyed the "Vlakvark" wooden unit, but more so the sand between our toes. It's a forest jewel full of wild fruit trees and bird life.

Place served purpose as a place to sleep only. Cabin was really not suitable for 4 adults, was hopelessly too small. Shower head was broken and made showering difficult. Almost no water pressure in kitchen and we had to bring water from the bathroom to wash dishes. Other than that it wasn't bad, but we only slept over and didn't do much there. It was really just very overpriced in my opinion.

Nice place for a forest holiday.
Phumuza Bush Lodge would be a nice place for a bush holiday, but I would definitely prefer a guest house for just one night's sleep. Everything was neat and clean, but I don't quite understand why towels, dishcloths, soap, coffee, tea, sugar and milk (at least just enough for the next morning) can't be provided. It's just basic hospitality. Also, there was no sink in the one bathroom. There is a very impractical sliding lock on the sliding door which does not contribute to safety or restful sleep.

Not quite what we expected.
I think the cottage we stayed in was unoccupied for a while, or it was hardly cleaned before our arrival. Linen was not fresh and cobwebs where everywhere. The outside shower is a good idea, but there may need to be a mop or cloth to dry the floor, or walk through the water to the room after visiting the toilet. Nice place, but can improve to make accommodation more comfortable.

Place lacks attention and it feels like there is no wildlife, it is way too expensive for what you get.
The shower in my unit's slope works out so that the water flows outside the shower, there is a gap that makes this possible The floor tiles are cracked. The bed's frame is very skeptical and loose. The unit's corners have water vapor problems and cobwebs are also in the corners. The door has a lot of trouble closing. The lodge has almost no wildlife (no tracks or fog visible) and no clear indications of where you can drive or walk to see wildlife, think it's actually too small for that. I walked and sat down at the lookout tower, it was falling apart. The lookout tower's thatched roof is halfway gone and the wooden floor of the lookout tower has a few places where it has broken (one could get very hurt if you step on it and even fall, who knows). The place has very strict rules and the leaflet is poorly laid out with rules that repeat all the time. When I got there I had to complete a disclaimer form which basically states that they are not responsible for my safety or belongings whatsoever, no matter what happens. They also have such a long description about it in their pamphlet in the room. The place does not provide towels and can only put a chocolate on the bed. The bedside lamps don't work and there was only one toilet paper roll (if I remember correctly). I think it is important that good sleep should visit their places regularly and do an inspection: Is the price and what you get out of a place fair? Do they really have the services that the place claims recognition for on our website, there is also a difference to say you have game to look at (only 2 goats in 10 hectares) and another place has 1000 goats over 100 hectares . I will have to consider whether I book directly with Klein Kariba and pay more, but you know what you pay for.

Phumuza Bush Lodge 's response
Dear Martie,
We are really sorry you did not enjoy your overnight stay at Phumuza. The issue you had with towels could have been avoided as we do state on the booking page that we do not supply towels. We immediately checked the linen after your complaint and yes, the fitted sheet has a small tear where the stitching has come loose on the corner where it covers the mattress. We will attend to that. Thank you for informing us. The duvet and cover have never been a problem before but we will look into it, please bear in mind we are a bush lodge and having feather duvets is really not an option.
We must just say that some people find it better to ignore small issues and rather focus on the positives such as the beautiful surroundings and other facilities which far outweigh all else. Could it perhaps be that your stay was not long enough to enjoy what we offer?

Dear Sarie,
Thank you for your comments. Unfortunately, game is very unpredictable, and elusive. You may be lucky and see many different species, and then again, you may just have bad luck and see nothing. It is necessary to be patient and quiet, which can be quite a challenge especially when there are younger children in your party. We do offer advice on where to find the various animals, and would have been glad to help you in your search.
Bela Bela has many exciting activities that the younger generation find enjoyable and day outings can be a treat. Coming back to a restful quiet place to rest in the evening, is an advantage.

I did not enjoy it at all, purely because of the unkind and sarcastic comment made by Shaaron when we got there.
The intercom at the gate was not working when I got there. I had to look up the number on the internet and call to have the gate opened. The gate only opened halfway and I had to call again to have it fully opened so I could drive through. When I got to reception Shaaron sarcastically told me I should have pressed the "emergency" button and not the income button. No card facility. When I gave my card for the payment. Sharon: "It is a pity that people do not read the information supplied before they book." We checked in on Thursday which was a holiday. I got to Phumuza after work on Friday around 6pm and pressed the intercom (this time it worked). Shaaron answered and when I asked if she would open the gate she replied that it was not convenient for her and I had to wait for my husband to bring the remote. The kitchen leaves much to be desired. Two of the plates were cracked and a mug chipped. The knives are of poor quality and we did not dare to cut anything with them because they would break. I drove and went to buy steak knives. The camp chairs were dirty and the tray part of the chair was broken. The room is so cramped that the bunker bed is in front of the bathroom door. You have to push your hand through the bed rail to open the door. There are much better lodges for the same value of money in the area and I would recommend everyone to book somewhere other than Phumuza instead. There you will also have tranquility and a beautiful environment but definitely a friendlier reception.

Dear Denise
We sincerely apologise that your expectations were not met. It would have been great if you had conveyed your issues and concerns to us when Pat came around to check and see if all was ok. He had a long conversation with your husband and children and nothing was mentioned. We could have sorted out your concerns and made your stay pleasent.
The issue with the remote, i would just like to emphasize that guests are issued with a remote for easy access to the property . The office is not manned 24 hours and it is difficult for staff to monitor guests movements . The constant ringing of the gate bell is also a nuisance for the other guests.
Once again we apologise and sincerly wish that your experience could have been better . The envirement is so peaceful and calming it would have been great to see you relax and enjoy yourself

Phumuza lodge provided a peaceful bush experience, but customer service and other shortcomings need attention.
The following areas need attention: 1) There was no light at the braai area! 2) An additional braai area should be provided, as the one that was available is impractical and needs attention. 3) The bathtub in the unit was dirty, the candles had not been replaced with new ones, and the bubble bath was pretty much empty. Surely this is the honeymoon unit? There had been no dish soap in the unit. 4) We were not informed that there was an entertainment area (pool, darts etc). There was also a hot tub that we didn't even know about. We came across it by chance?! It is recommended that the map of the farm indicating the routes and locations be updated, as the one provided was indicated on a very small scale and was dim. Attention must be paid to the above.

Nou it's so-called "damaged". If you want to braai you have to sit on the ground because there were no camping chairs available to sit on! Security system is there but doesn't work at all, we felt unsafe and couldn't sleep at all! I will not recommend it to my family or friends at all! First and last time that I will visit this place! No stars for customer service or safety!

Our visit was short and lovely. Unfortunately too early in the season to swim, but the swimming pool looked very inviting. Die Troupant, our unit, has everything you need. The lookout point was highlight. The owners are friendly and helpful. Maybe the curtains can be thicker to block out the security light? And the outside shower needs some maintainance.

Peace and quiet that recharges your battery.
The place is very peaceful, unfortunately we didn't see many animals, only one kid very far down the road. We got the feeling that the animals are scary. The view from the observation tower was breathtaking. Our stay didn't start too well, with no hot water in the chalet, but we also understand that it's not the owners fault - the element of the geyser burned out after a storm the night before. The owners went out of their way to fix it and we had reasonably hot water by lunchtime the next day. Our goal was to just do nothing, and just recharge batteries that we managed. The silence and tranquility is wonderful and it really is a paradise.

Disappointing.
We were disappointed with our stay at Phumuza Lodge, the log cabin we stayed in was very small and did not look at all like any photos on the website. The dirt road is very smooth and there are bumps that you can only get over with a 4x4 and not a normal car. The Jacuzzi doesn't even have water in it and doesn't work. Our light in the room did not work, the chairs to sit outside are torn and broken, the facilities are very basic and there are no extras eg towels, coffee, milk sugar etc. There is also no light outside to barbecue in not the evening. They also only provide 5 pieces of wood for a fire. The grill was very dirty and the brush to clean it is broken and dirtier than the grill. It is very quiet and nice to get away from the city, but for what you pay it is really not worth it.

It is such a pity that people do not read the information supplied before they book. We have self-catering accommodation which means you cater for yourself. We do not supply tea, coffee or sugar. Wood for making fires is sold on site. The Jacuzzi is also an extra charge and if the guests want to make use of it, clean water is put into it. This is for hygiene purposes.

The three days were a special opportunity for us to recharge the flat batteries of the hectic life, and this in the heart of the bushveld - without TV, radio, blaring music or any other disturbing sounds. There we could enjoy the sounds of nature: birds, bugs, wind and our thorn wood fire. The owners were friendly, but in no way intrusive, they understand when guests want to be alone. We will definitely come again.

All the basic amenities to escape from city life!
The management was very helpful and was there immediately if we needed anything. The pool is fantastic in the summer. The silence is noticeable and it allows one to rest and sleep well. We had a nice barbecue in the evening and also went for a nice walk. The children had plenty of space to play and keep themselves occupied. There are a bunch of animals too - like night monkeys and little goats, even chickens! I would advise the management to simply sell extra wood or briquettes on the premises. Bela-Bela is indeed close, but the drive between Phumuza and Bele-Bela would not be necessary if there were basic items available at the lodge (wood, briquettes, Blitz, soap). The mobile reception is apparently going to improve, but it's actually better if there is little signal on a holiday. It's a very nice place.

On Friday evening there was a burglary at our vehicle. The burglars walked around our house barefoot. We went to Bela-Bela on Saturday, and we found out from the people, who are part of the neighborhood watch, that that particular house is often broken into or robbed. I suggest they tighten up the security before they ever want to rent out the Warthog or Giraffe units again. The owners did approach us on Saturday to ask us to please. to stay and checked into a cottage next to the main house. The weekend was nice, except for the incident on Friday night.

Disappointed.
We also made a reservation at the establishment for Friday evening, at R650 for a chalet for 2. My problem was not with the unit, but with the fact that there were no basic amenities. Although this is a self-catering unit, one would at least expect towels to be available. We realized this at 9 o'clock in the evening when we wanted to take a shower, and in the end my husband and I had to dry off with our clothes on. Had I been aware that there would be no towels, I would have packed. There wasn't even a piece of a dishtowel to wipe something with in the kitchen, nor a drop of soap. There was no extra bedding. 1 duvet for the double bed and 1 duvet for the single bed they put in there. I completely understand the concept of self-catering, but I have never experienced anything so primitive and we have stayed overnight in many self-catering places. On Saturday morning the managers/owners were not at their home and I called the lady and explained to her that I was unhappy and also why I was unhappy. She then informed me that it was self-catering and that they did not provide towels. However, she then offered to give us one of the log cabins for our Saturday night booking (the 23rd) at no extra charge. She asked that we please just have to give the unit a chance to be cleaned as there were people staying overnight on Friday night. I mentioned to her that we would not be back until later in the day as our son played rugby that day. On our return on Saturday afternoon at a quarter to four, the lady was waiting for us at the office. She then told me that she could not give us the larger unit as the people (who had stayed the night before) had decided to stay another night - this after she had promised us the unit - and that we have no choice but to spend the night again in the bedroom for 2. She then also pulled out a bunch of papers that supposedly confirm what is not in the units (including the towels) and claims that she sends out that breakdown with every booking confirmation. I then mentioned to her that I have my booking confirmation in my car and can show it to her, and that what she has there now is definitely NOT on my confirmation. She didn't even want to listen to me any further and just said she was sorry, we'll just have to take the unit. However, we then decided to drive home and returned her keys.

Phumuza Bush Lodge 's response
We try our best to accommodate all our guests and make their stay as comfortable as possible. There are certain things that we have no control over, one being the public roads. We have contacted the Roads Department on several occasions about the road, however as is the situation with many of the roads in our country, nothing gets done. I am sincerely sorry you had a bad experience with your car. Thank goodness you drive a Toyota Fortuner otherwise it could have been much worse. We have permanent residents on the lodge that drive Nissan 1400 bakkie and an Atos, who never seem to have problems.
As a mother myself , I am also very protective over my children and I understand that you being alone with no husband to help you, things might have seemed worse than they are. I am referring to the electrical plug that you were worried about. It is a pity you did not come to us as we could have moved the bed away from the plug.
