Let down by previous experience.

I don't agree having to meet someone at the house. Then previously there was some plunger coffee and milk, this time none. We booked 2 rooms 2 adults, seem to assume we were a couple so wasn't ready for us.

Rooibos Luxury Bush Cottage 's response

Good day
We have never had a coffee plunger and have never supplied milk. We supply coffee, tea, sugar and creamer.
You are the first person to complain about the lodge manager making sure everything is ok. The lodge was ready and we only had to open up a room for you.

Weelderige 5-ster-verblyf teen 'n 3-ster-prys.

Jy bly in weelde in die middel van die bos geval. Pragtige huis wat aan een vloei met die natuur.

Overall perfect getaway location.

Ez was the most amazing. I mean, he made sure we were well informed about everything the day before our arrival. Communication was so precise. Directions and codes were sorted before we got to Hoedspruit. Ez gave us a warm welcome to the most spectacular home. I was in awe. It was even better than on the pictures. Jenny did an amazing job with the decor. We were there for an entire week but we didn't want to leave. The game drives and the roaming game were amazing to experience. Everthing we needed was available. I really appreciate the dishwasher. We highly recommend Rooibos. I would do it over and over again. A hospitality dream. I mistakenly left my shoes in the cupboard and Ez was kind enough to arrange for them to be sent through. Safe, tranquil, and convenient for such a secluded area. People are warm and everything is literally 10 minutes away. The gift was a precious touch.

Rooibos Bush Lodge was 'n vakansie wat ek ongelooflik geniet het. Die diere kom groet jou enige tyd van die dag en die rustigheid om te kan stap tussen diere is die beste medisyne vir die siel wat iemand kan voor vra.

Die skoon lug en rustigheid is so kalmerend vir die siel dat ek dit oorweeg om daar af te tree.

Rooibos Bush Lodge was a holiday that I really enjoyed. The animals come to greet you at any time of the day and the tranquility of being able to walk among animals is the best medicine for the soul that anyone could ask for.

The clean air and tranquility are so soothing to the soul that I am considering retiring there.

Rustig, sjiek.

Maklik die beste akkommodasie waarby ons nog in SA gebly het. Geen vergelyking met enige Boutique Hotel nie, want mens kry soveel meer! Elke punt is met volle deurgedagtenis gestel en daar is aan alles gedink om jou 100% gemaklik en versorgd te laat voel. Mens hoef nie na enigiets te soek nie, want dit is daar en voel asof 'n onsigbare 'butler' teenwoordig is. Dankie Jenny en almal wat verantwoordelik is vir hierdie 'gem'. Ons kom weer in Julie en weer en weer!

Quiet, chic.

Easily the best accommodation we have stayed at in SA. No comparison with any Boutique Hotel, because you get so much more! Every point has been made with full consideration and everything has been thought of to make you feel 100% comfortable and cared for. One does not have to look for anything because it is there and feels as if an invisible 'butler' is present. Thanks Jenny and everyone responsible for this 'gem'. We'll be back in July and again and again!

Great location and lodge but check out time should be amended - not customer friendly.

Feeling rushed by management to vacate at the end of our stay is not the way to do it. We had management waiting in the driveway from 08H40 wanting to enter the property and get it ready for guests checking in at 14h00. Clearly staff want to get things done asap so they can enjoy there day off at the expense of the guests peace and quite without rushing. Also when renting a house/lodge paying guests should have access to bedrooms (even if just to appreciate the decor), yet spare rooms are locked preventing access. Very strange.

Rooibos Luxury Bush Cottage 's response

Hi

If only 2 guests are staying we lock the other rooms so we do not need to decontaminate them again, it is extremely costly for us to clean an entire lodge when there are only 2 paying guests, so we lock the rooms. We take Covid very seriously that is why the rooms are locked.

I don't know what you mean by staff wanting to have their day off? They work from 8 until 2, the buses leave from town at 3 and there are no other buses for the staff so we have to start cleaning at 9 otherwise they will not finish by 2.

There are no words! Best place ever!

I have stayed at many 5 star lodges in Sabi Sands, Kapama and Klaserie - you name it as we love the bush and always try new places. I can honestly say Rooibos is on par and has everything and more you need when you want to do your own thing in the bush. Loved it and will definitely be going back!

Pragtige huis, modern en besonders goed uitgelê.

Baie dankie vir die heerlike verblyf. Rooibos lodge is ongelooflik mooi, groot en gerieflik. Mal oor die groot stoep, pragtige swembad- en boma-area. Ideaal vir enige gesin of groep. Puik waarde vir geld! Daar was selfs hout en blits uitgesit vir ons vir die braai-area. Ons sien julle vir seker weer! Baie dankie.

Gerieflike huis reg vir lang rustige kuiers op die stoep.

Pragtig huis met al die nodige geriewe. Die eienaars doen moeite om jou welkom te laat voel. Volop wild om en naby die huis met 'n prettige vark familie wat kom kuier en in die modder speel. Dit is die lekkerste wat ons nog in Hoedspruit gekuier het, dankie Jenny!

Comfortable house ready for long quiet walks on the stoep.

Beautiful house with all the necessary amenities. The owners make an effort to make you feel welcome. Plenty of wildlife around and near the house with a fun pig family that comes to visit and play in the mud. It's the most fun we've ever had in Hoedspruit, thank you Jenny!

Ongelooflike, besonderse mooi en gesellige verblyf.

Rooibos Bush Lodge is 'n stukkie paradys, dit is gesellig vir 'n familie. Kunstig gemeubileerd en die silwerskoon swembad 'n groot pluspunt vir enige familie. Vlakvarke wat kom kuier terwyl jy rustig sit op die stoep. Ek sal Rooibos Bush Lodge aanbeveel vir enige iemand wat rus nodig het. Die aandag aan die kleinere details maak hierdie plekkie enig in sy soort. Die diens wat ons ontvang het van met aankoms van die eienaars sowel as Hoedspruit Fine and Country kry volpunte. Rooibos Bush Lodge is beslis waarde vir geld vir 'n stukkie paradys. Bespreek beslis as jy 'n paar dae se rus en vrede nodig het. Sien julle sommer gou weer.

Incredible, exceptionally beautiful and cozy accommodation.

Rooibos Bush Lodge is a piece of paradise, it is cozy for a family. Artfully furnished and the sparkling swimming pool a big plus for any family. Warthogs that come to visit while you sit quietly on the porch. I would recommend Rooibos Bush Lodge to anyone who needs rest. The attention to the smaller details makes this place one of a kind. The service we received from the owners on arrival as well as Hoedspruit Fine and Country gets full marks. Rooibos Bush Lodge is definitely value for money for a piece of paradise. Definitely book if you need a few days of peace and quiet. See you again soon.
