Five star accommodation at affordable prices.

We had a lovely stay at Rooibank. The chalet was very clean and had everything we would need. The bed was comfortable. We took our dog with us and she had a lot of fun with the two cute farm dogs. We went for plenty of walks around the farm. Everything is so well maintained and we felt really relaxed. The farm manager was always available for help. We would definitely go back.

Perfekte Bosveld wegbreek!

Lekker gebly! Die eerste ding wat mens tref wanneer mens by jou kar uitklim by Rooibank is die stilte. Die rustigheid. Die huis en alle geriewe is mooi en baie netjies skoon. Die kombuis is baie goed toegerus - enige iemand wat kosmaak se droom. Die gasheer is vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Ons het ons tyd by Rooibank baie geniet en ons sal vir seker terug wees vir nog 'n kuier by Rooibank!

Perfect Bushveld getaway!

Nice stay! The first thing that hits you when you get out of your car at Rooibank is the silence. The tranquility. The house and all facilities are beautiful and very neat and clean. The kitchen is very well equipped - anyone who cooks' dream. The host is friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our time at Rooibank and we will definitely be back for another visit at Rooibank!

Sielsrus, ryk voel lewe, heerlike stappe op die plaas. Gasvryheid.

Heerlik gebly. Unieke ervaring op 'n boomplaas in Dinokeng. Chalets baie skoon, goed toegerus. Aircon en swembad was 'n lafenis. Heerlike plek as jy nie te veel mense om jou soek nie. Uitstekende waarde vir geld.

Rus vir die siel en prentjiemooi!

Ons het heerlik gebly en die plek is prentjiemooi. Die foto's kan nie die plek regtig vasvang nie en moet self beleef word. Pragtig en netjies, ruim en silwerskoon. Presies wat die siel nodig het! Helene het so mooi na ons omgesien en seker gemaak alles is perfek. Baie dankie ook vir die hulp met die spesiale versoek, julle is dierbaar! Hoogs aanbeveel.

Thank you, Helene. We loved every second of our stay. Highly recommend Rooibank! Clean, well-equipped, stunning scenery, and safe! Very sad that time flew by so fast. Next time, I will book for a week. The game drive that we booked at Dinokeng events was spectacular as well. The only member of the Big 5 we didn't see was a leopard, but the 3 cheetahs made up for that.

Heerlike familiekuier in 'n uitstekende huise.

Ons het die 2 huise bespreek vir ons groot groep van 12. Altwee huise was uitstekend toegerus om die groep te hanteer. Vanaf die kombuis, eetareas, braai-areas, slaapkamers en badkamers was alles mooi, skoon en netjies. Ons wil tot sovêr gaan om te sê dat dit een van die beste besprekings is wat ons nog gedoen het op die website. Heerlike kuiernaweek gehad met familie wat van Kanda af kom kuier het. Kan Rooibank sterk aanbeveel.

We would go so far as to say that this is one of the best discussions we have ever done on the website. Had a wonderful weekend with family who came to visit from Kanda. Can highly recommend Rooibank.

Rustige atmosfeer op 'n werkende plaas binne Dinokeng. Gemaklik vir baie mense en opsies om te ontspan. Ook baie gerieflik om wild te kyk/besigtig met opsies naby vir etes/aankope te doen ens. Selfs ideaal vir 'n naweekwegbreek. Was al 'n paar keer by Rooibank en sal weer gaan.

We had a lovely stay and the accommodation was everything it stated.

We drove around the park for a total of around 8 hours over the course of the weekend, but didn't see much game. Beautiful giraffe and buck, but none of the Big 5. We saw 4 black back jackals early in the morning which was nice but the game viewing itself was a little disappointing, but absolutely the luck of the draw and nothing to do with the quality of the accommodation.

Lovely big house with beautiful garden. Had a wonderful, peaceful family weekend.

House has an African bush theme, beautifully furnished, with big verandah with folding sliding doors, overlooking pool and braai area. All windows have mesh, bedrooms are upstairs - beds are very comfy. There is one bath, 3 showers and 4 toilets. House is surrounded by a beautiful, lush garden - green lawns and shady trees. Was very peaceful and quiet and heard jackals and hyena in the distance in evening. Would strongly recommend this accommodation in Dinokeng Game Reserve.

From the start when we met Helene and Dries we felt at home. We fell in love with Oelof, the farm doggy with the best smile ever. Our Pitbull was at home the minute he arrived. The place was exceptionally clean and very private. We had a great long walks, kids enjoyed the pool and the upstairs bedrooms. More than value for money. We enjoyed it so much, we nearly stayed the entire week if it wasn't for work.

We enjoyed our stay at Rooibank very much. Great value for money. The lay out of the house is perfect for a family or week-end away with friends.

We will definitely return to this venue for a breakaway weekend. Only an hour's drive from Pretoria. Beautiful farm and pet-friendly. Our German Pointer enjoyed her stay just as much as we did.

A weekend away with my husband to spoil 3 elderly ladies.

We stayed in the bushveld house. This is fully equipped and wheelchair friendly. One massive kitchen, 4 rooms. It was advertised with 3 bathrooms but only had 2. There is a lovely veranda to relax under. The veranda doesn't have a view of the reserve's fence unless you walk around the side of the house. The swimming pool is a bit out of the way. Would have been lovely if the bushveld house had a pool. Otherwise a lovely stay. Dries was there to assist with any queries.

Quiet.

The only fault - we would have preferred to have our own small private braai. We had to walk past our neighbors to get to the braai, and it was literally over their veranda. But otherwise, well equipped, and very nice.

Die advertensie is baie misleidend.

Ons het gebly in die chalet, aangrensend aan die plaasbestuurder se chalet (die beskrywing van chalet is baie misleidend). As ons chalet apart van die plaasbestuurder was, met 'n view en nie in die bome vasgekyk het nie was dit perfek. Volgens die advertensie is daar 'n boma, die boma is by die ander eenhede en nie by die chalet nie. Ons het gestap na Eden Glen en ook na die ander plekkie. En altwee daardie plekkies is pragtig en die ligging is reg. Die ligging van die chalet was teleurstellend. Ek het versoek of ons kon skuif na 'n ander plekkie, maar altwee die ander plekkies was vol. Ons kon nie die swembad gebruik het nie, want daar was mense in die ander eenheid en die swembad grens aan daardie eenheid. Die plaasbestuurder was baie behulpsaam en vriendelik. Ek het aan hom genoem dat ek teleurgesteld is met die ligging van die eenheid, dis glad nie privaat nie. Die waterpyp van die eenheid langsaan was op die stoep van ons chalet. Ek was onder die indruk volgens die advertensie dat ons in die eenheid is met 'n view en privaat is en dit was glad nie die geval nie. Die eenheid binne was skoon en netjies en daar was als in die plek wat mens nodig het.

The ad is very misleading.

We stayed in the chalet, adjacent to the farm manager's chalet (the description of chalet is very misleading). If our chalet was separate from the farm manager, with a view and not staring into the trees it would have been perfect. According to the advertisement there is a boma, the boma is at the other units and not at the chalet. We walked to Eden Glen and also to the other place. And both those places are beautiful and the location is right. The location of the chalet was disappointing. I requested if we could move to another spot, but both the other spots were full. We couldn't have used the pool because there were people in the other unit and the pool is adjacent to that unit. The farm manager was very helpful and friendly. I mentioned to him that I was disappointed with the location of the unit, it was not private at all. The water pipe from the unit next door was on the porch of our chalet. I was under the impression according to the ad that we were in the unit with a view and private and that was not the case at all. The unit inside was clean and tidy and there was everything in the place that one needs.

Dit was heerlik! Ons het baie lekker gekuier en baie gerus.

Hierdie huis is lekker ruim en het ons almal die spasie gegee wat ons so nodig gehad het. Die 2 kinders het ook die ruimte van die plaas ongelooflik baie geniet. Netjiese huis wat baie goed onderhou word - dankie daarvoor!

Stil en rustige naweek saam met kinders en kleinkinders. Die huis is baie goed ingerig met alles wat nodig is. Die feit dat ek my viervoetkind kon saamneem het baie getel. Hy het selfs maats gemaak met die vriendelike hondjie Olie van die eienaars. Ons sal beslis weer daar kuier.

Ontspannend.

Ons naweek by rooibank was heerlik. 'n Ontspannende atmosfeer en pragtige omgewing. Ons sal definitief weer besoek. Die enigste kritiek sal wees dat daar nie badhanddoeke verskaf word nie (wat normaalweg by ander plekke teen dieselfde prys ingesluit word). Die kombuis is goed ingerig ek sal wel voorstel dat daar 'n lappie by die kombuis gesit word asook 'n n skêr in die laai.

Our weekend at rooibank was wonderful. A relaxing atmosphere and beautiful surroundings. We will definitely visit again. The only criticism would be that bath towels are not provided (which are normally included at other places at the same price). The kitchen is well equipped, I would suggest that a cloth be placed in the kitchen as well as a pair of scissors in the drawer.

Dit was skoon maar baie basies.

Die verblyf is baie basies. Geen afdroograk vir skottelgoed, geen teepot of melkbeker, borde gechip. Geen gemakstoele nie, as mens TV wil kyk moet jy op 'n eetkamerstoel sit! Geen skoonmaakdiens nie (dit was wel Paasnaweek, maar nie eers vullis is verwyder nie of vir ons aangedui waar die vullisdromme is nie). Badkamer se skuifdeur is baie moeilik om oop en toe te maak. Daar is op Goeie Vrydag en Saterdag geskaaf en gesweis aan 'n staalraam by die werkswinkel 100 m van ons chalet af. Ek was nie baie ingenome met die verblyf nie.

It was clean but very basic.

The accommodation is very basic. No drying rack for dishes, no teapot or milk jug, plates chipped. No easy chairs, if you want to watch TV you have to sit on a dining room chair! No cleaning service (it was Easter weekend, but not even rubbish was removed or we were shown where the rubbish bins were). Bathroom sliding door is very difficult to open and close. A steel frame was planed and welded on Good Friday and Saturday at the workshop 100 m from our chalet. I was not very pleased with the stay.

Wonderlike verblyf in Dinokeng.

Ons groep vriende (en my woef-kinders) het Rooibank terdeë geniet. Dit is die ideale plek om te kom rus en so min as moontlik vir so lank as moontlik te doen. Daar is 'n heerlike, rustige en gerieflike atmosfeer, 'n lekker swembad om in af te koel en lekker paadjies om te gaan stap. Die diens was vriendelik en uitstekend. Gaan verseker weer hier 'n draai kom maak!
