Stone Lodge

Beautiful house and stay.

We loved our stay! Such a beautiful house, the detail in decor is stunning. The house has everything you need. We loved the outside pool and fire pit area. Will definitely be back!

Was stunning! Sal vir seker weer Stone Lodge besoek, uiteensetting en akkommodasie.

Amazing.

When I die and go to heaven I hope it's like Stone Lodge.

Memorable.

What an amazing stay at Stone Lodge!

Sorry - het nie paar woorde nie. Dis regtig baie lekker en baie meer as verwag.

Partykeer bestel jy vis en chips, en jy weet wat jy kry. Stone Lodge kry jy nie net tamatiesous nie, maar 3 T-bones, 4 slaaie en dan nog roomys ook. Amazing diens, amazing personeel en ongelooflik goed toegerus. Die aandag aan detail is nie ongemerk nie. Amper soos iemand anders se huis gevoel. Baie dankie. Ons sal weer gaan.

Lieflike verblyf en 'n pragtige huis!

Stone Lodge is amazingly mooi en ons het baie lekker gebly - dit is baie groter as wat dit op die foto's lyk met spasie vir Afrika!. Die enigste iets wat in ag geneem moet word is dat die 16 km van reception / spa af gelyk is aan 40 min se ry. Daar is nie ongelooflik baie wild in die area nie, jy moet +/-45 min ry om wild by Itaga te sien. Ten spyte daarvan het ons dit vreeslik baie geniet en baie lekker gebly.

Beautiful wegbreek tuiste.

Beautiful plek! Vreedsaam en privaat. Gesellig. Mooiste sunsets.

Breathtakingly beautiful.

The place was huge and much more than we expected. I'm coming back again with my family.

Love Mabalingwe and love Stone Lodge!

It was our second visit to Stone Lodge and it was as good as the first time. I will definitely go back again!

Heerlik gebly.

Heerlik gebly by lodge. Lekker ontspan.

Piece of heaven.

We had such a wonderful time. Thank you! The house and location is just perfect. We were so thankful for the immediate action that was taken when the vehicle was acting up, and another one was supplied immediately. Also, when there was a problem with the water, it was attended to as a matter of urgency. The communication with us as visitors was first class. We will definitely be back.

A perfect stay to enjoy the tranquil South African bush!

The accommodation is fantastic, the rooms are spacious with great views. The utilities were great too, the ice machine a welcome friend in the heat. Our host was amazing, communicating almost instantly with any question. The stay was fleeting but so enjoyable. We had international guests that loved every moment.

Wonderful stay in a beautiful setting.

Stone Lodge is beautifully appointed and perfectly equipped for a fantastic getaway in the bush, just a short drive from Johannesburg. The staff were amazing, and all facilities were tasteful and comfortable.

Naweek was te kort.

Stone Lodge was 'n voorreg om in te bly. Groot kamers, groot kuierarea en vriendelike kommunikasie voor, gedurende en na ons kuier. Sal vir seker weer daar bly. Ons het die agterpad teruggeneem wat ons so 45 min gespaar het.

Fantasties!

Pragtige huis! Silwerskoon, ons kan nie wag om weer in te loer nie. Baie dankie aan elkeen by Stone Lodge wat ons kuiertjie daar onvergeetlik gemaak het. Ons het regtig heerlik gerus en kan net wow en wow! Dankie Stone Lodge. Sien sommer gou weer.

Ultimate luxury.

We absolutely loved our stay — the lodge is incredible. The finishing touches highlight the luxury of the lodge and the lodge is so large you have so much space which is great for a trip with couples. The amenities are extensive, with the kitchen and the baths being the highlights of our stay. It feels incredibly private and you really do get away from it all as a holiday should be. We were incredibly impressed by the lodge.

Pragtige plek. Het alles wat nodig is vir 'n wonderlike naweek.

Wild loop om die lodge. Pragtige natuur. Dit was wolkloos en ons kon die Melkweg duidelik sien. Die personeel is vriendelik en beskikbaar indien so benodig.

A great experience.

Stone Lodge is a lovely house that has all the facilities one needs and more! Love that the rooms are all away from one another so everyone has their space and privacy. The road to get there is a little bumpy but we liked the location of the house as it felt remote. It was awesome to be able to rent the game drive vehicle as we really got to be one with nature. Tanya and Petro were always available to answer questions and assist.

Lieflik.

Pragtige plek, sal weer terugkom.

Beautiful surroundings and home, but no backup systems for during loadshedding and noticed that water is then also affected.

The house was stunning and spacious and had all the necessities. There were clear signs up regarding no smoking, no music and loud noises but nowhere notifying guests that the water is operated by pumps and that during loadshedding there are no backup systems and no water supply to the property.

Owner very difficult, Cameras in common areas, feels like you are being watched constantly. Wont go there again. Chaged us 50% of Vehichle use after we hardly left the lodge on sunday and they asked us to come back immediately, which we did.

Meer as wat ons verwag het.

Groot kamers en badkamers.

Ongelooflike ervaring.

Definitief een van die beste plekke waar ons nog gebly het! Daar is aan alles gedink om mens se verblyf ekstra spesiaal te maak. Nie eers Loadshedding kon n demper plaas op ons bly daar. Tanya het ons die heeltyd ophoogte gehou en Shereen en Thomas was ongelooflik behulpsaam. Definitief gaan ons weer na Stone Lodge toe gaan.

What an amazing experience. Would certainly visit again.

The house was fully equipped with all the amenities and kitchen appliances you could require. Shireen welcomed us with a warm smile and provided excellent service during our stay. We made use of the game viewing vehicle which gave us access to areas in the park, we would not have experienced otherwise. Thank you very much! We loved it!

Ongelooflik.

Stone Lodge is omtrent 'n wonderlike plek. En dat jy jou eie voertuig kan huur maak dit omtrent opwindend.

Fabulous.

This was a piece of heaven on earth. Our family enjoyed every minute of this beautiful house. Thanks for making our stay so fantastic.

Perfect place for a family get-away!

Would highly recommend it, and we can't wait to be back ! We had such a pleasant stay. The house exceeded all of our expectations. The house itself is beautifully decorated and spotless and the kitchen is beyond well equipped. The bedrooms and bathrooms are tastefully designed and decorated with beautiful views of the bush. Private, secluded and an absolute heavenly bush hideout. Thank you for making our family get-away a very memorable one!

Asemrowend.

Lekker rustig in die bos.

Wat 'n wonderlike, groot, netjiese, goed ingerigte verblyf met groot kamers en fantastiese fasiliteite.

Dit was 'n wonderlike wegbreek. Stone Lodge het aan al die verwagtinge voldoen. Baie goed ingerig, niks het tekort geskiet nie. Dit is 'n besonderse lodge!

Luuks, smaakvol, genoeg boeke en speletjies vir winderige dae en alles wat 'n amateur kok nodig het om te kook.

'n Pragtige troppie koedoes, 'n skugter vlakvark en romatiese volstruise het ons daagliks besoek. Die Bruid van die Bosveld (dombeya rotundifolia) was vol in die blom. Die sonsondergange was voorwaar 'n skouspel van kleure, net jammer die jillende kinders van die lodge langsaan het ons 'rustige' sonsondergange en kuiers op die dek bederf.

Absolutely wonderful.

Was our second time visiting Stone Lodge, and definitely not our last time.

Exceeding all expectations.

We had such a pleasant stay. After the weekend we were left wanting to stay longer. The house exceeded all of our expectations. The house itself is beautifully decorated and spotless. The kitchen is beyond well equipped and the bedrooms and bathrooms were nicely sized with beautiful views of the bush. The deck and pool area was our favourite part of the house. Private, secluded and an absolute heavenly bush hideout. Jeremiah was exceptional and always there to help us out when we needed it. Would highly recommend it! Can't wait to be back.

Tranquil stay.

The place a simple drive from Johannesburg, it is a great money for valued and the place creates a beautiful tranquil experience for guests. It's the second time staying at stone lodge, and foresee many more stays in future.

Well maintained and clean. Provides a relaxing environment.

Perfect weekend getaway.

Goed vir die siel.

Wonderlike uitgeruste, pragtige en rustige huis. Ideaal vir 'n wegbreek om die bos te geniet. Die diens en inligting vooraf was uit die boonste rakke.

Baie netjies en goed toegerus.

Stone Lodge kan baie gemaklik 6 mense huisves. Toegangspad was nie so goed nie, moeilik om met 'n lae voertuig daar te kom. Wildkyk naby lodge is baie beperk, tensy jy hulle voertuig gebruik.

Fantasiese plek vir rustigheid.

Ons het vreeslik lekker gebly. Mooiste plek in die bos. Ons het wel vrek koud gekry met die kouefront so die kaggel het oortyd gewerk. Ons het nie regtig dierebesoekers gehad by die huis nie weet nie of die koue rol gespeel het nie. Ons het gaan game drive maar kon nie die olifante, buffels of renosters kry nie. Paar probleempies wat ons gehad het was vinnig uitgesorteer met bestuur. Baie aangename mense. Ons sal beslis weer by Stone Lodge inboek, dalk net in die somer.

Our stay was awesome.

We wanted a special family weekend to celebrate my hubby's 60th birthday and that is exactly what we got and more. The lodge has got absolutely everything that you require for a self-catering weekend. Very well maintained and exceptionally clean.

Was heerlik.

Goed toegerus, netjies en skoon.

Die bosveld was mooi, Stone Lodge is baie mooi, keurig en perfek uitgelê vir heerlike familie- en vriende-kuier. Maar ons sal nie weer teruggaan.

Ons was erg teleurgesteld toe ons Saterdag laatoggend agterkom dat die groot geraas, geskreeu en harde musiek kom van 'n bachelorette-partytjie by die huis langsaan af. Dit het die hele belewenis verander in 'n irritasie en skaamte teenoor ons buitelandse kuiergaste wat uitgesien het na hul Afrikabos-uitstappie. Ons het beide die agent en sekuriteit verskeie kere gebel en boodskappe gestuur. Ons is gesê hulle sal gaan praat en ons moet maar weer bel as dit aanhou! So het ons tenminste 5 keer gebel terwyl ons probeer om op ander dinge te fokus. Lang storie kort, hulle kon geen verskil maak en die geraas het tot 10 uur die aand aangehou. Ons privaatheid was ook geskend deur dat sekuriteit vir die oortreders laat weet het dat ons die klaers was. 'n Dame wat deel was van die partytjie het by die stoep opgedaag en vir ons probeer oortuig dat hulle die reg het om te kuier en dat die geraas ons eintlik glad nie affekteer. Ons was almal erg geskok. Was dit net ons wat bewus was van die reëls en ons self absoluut daarby gehou het? Hoe op aarde kan enige iemand dink dat Mabalingwe die regte plek is vir 'n klomp gillende onderwyseresse om te kom dronk word? In my opinie moes sekuriteit hulle vasgevat en uitgesit het 3 uur die middag toe dit duidelik was dat daar geen keer was. Hulle is eers die volgende oggend daar weg. Vir die groot bedrag geld wat betaal is was die naweek nie op standaard. Daar is vele ander plekke waar ons voorheen was waar ons baie meer waarde vir ons geld sou kry.

Heavenly!

Unbelievable! Beautifully decorated lodge with a fully equipped designer kitchen in a lovely setting. Huge porch with a swimming pool and braai area overlooking a waterhole where we saw giraffe and bush pigs. Lots of birds everywhere, rustic and peaceful. Highly recommended.

Quiet, relaxing, refreshing.

Stone Lodge is a beautiful home in a beautiful setting. It’s perfect for relaxing with family and friends, and ideal for bonding and spending quality time together.

Baie mooi huis met alles wat mens nodig het. Sal definitief weer teruggaan.

Alles was mooi skoon en netjies. Het niks meer nodig gehad nie, die huis was ten volle toegerus. Was heerlik!

Magnificent home, amazing service, we loved every moment.

A home built and decorated down to the finest detail with love and care. Equipped in every way. Spacious luxury in the bush. Excellent service. We had visitors at the waterhole every day. Families of giraffes, warthogs and buck. We saw lots of animals in the reserve. Days and nights spent in the pool and around the fire and relaxing on the superb patio. Can’t wait to go back. We had such a beautiful, happy, relaxing time. The lodge was very wheelchair friendly. Thank you all and thank you Petro.

The stay was amazing. It was far better then we expected! The place is beautiful, space has been well thought off. We have 2 small kids and they where entertained from pool, full DStv with internet and the the animals coming to the water hole. We will be back again. We loved it.

You need to visit this gem of palace. It's one beautiful place. From the entrance right back to the back yard where you are surrounded by bush. Beautiful sky and the animals coming to drink water. The house has all you need, the space is amazing. Kitchen nothing is needed there they have thought of everything. Outside is well thought through. It felt like home away from home with loads of spoils. The 2 staff members Jeremia and Sherees are absolutely amazing. It really feels like I had a holiday, they take good care of you while you there. Everything is always clean and looks like you just arrived every day after they have been there. They so friendly and just wanted to make sure our stay is relaxing. We will be back. We have been going to Mabalingwe now for over 6 years sometimes we go twice a year and out of all our stays and homes we have been in this one is our favourite one!

Regtig besonders.

Vreeslik mooi, baie wild het ons besoek. Baie netjies en alles waaraan jy kon dink is beskikbaar in die kombuis en die staff was baie behulpsaam en vriendelik.

Baie lekker en netjiese plek wat baie goed toegerus is.

Vir die prys kan hulle gerus 'n bystand kragbron insit vir die beurtkrag wat behalwe vir die normale toerusting ongelukkig ook die waterdruk beïnvloed. Olifante en buffels het onder andere die lodge se watergat besoek.

Situated in a beautiful and peaceful surrounding. Well furnished and equipped house with everything you need.

We have stayed numerous times in Mabalingwe but Stone Lodge has definitely been the best accommodation we have stayed in! The house is beautifully furnished and has everything you need to make your stay luxurious and comfortable! The surroundings are breathtaking and peaceful it feels like you have the bush all to yourself! We will most definitely book to stay again!

Ek kan die huis vir enigeen aanbeveel, fantasties en luuks!

Die huis het aan al ons verwagtings voldoen en selfs oortref. 5-ster-gehalte, puik! Kan die huis aanbeveel vir enige persoon. Ons sal beslis weer 'n naweek by Stone Lodge bespreek.

Stunning place!

Beautiful home with stunning decor. Please respect the no noise rule as this has been a great benefit to all the game we have seen at the waterhole situated at the lodge.

Skitterend, die beste tyd ooit.

Ons het 'n ongelooflike tyd gehad en sal môre teruggaan. Van die stop daar tot die laaste oggend is ons gehelp deur Shereen en Jeremia en het die twee wonderlike mense uit hulle pad gegaan om toe te sien dat ons die beste tyd ooit kon hê.

Luuks en ruim.

Stone Lodge is luuks en volledig toegerus. Volop diere wat die watergat besoek. Heerlike ruim huis met groot kuierareas en kamers. Het verblyf terdeë geniet en werklik ontspan en afgeskakel.

Great place to stay, topnotch value for money.

We stayed for 7 nights in this spacious, beautiful upmarket house. Great service from owner and local staff who did the extra mile! Wild animals should roam around but due to recent rainfall, this was limited. Only one of the seven days (buffaloes around the house) bit most of the days very quiet. Road to the house is very bad (gravel, potholes) so take care and rent a 4WD or, at least. a SUV or X-Over. Facilities in the house were excellent, Wi-Fi worked well (streaming Netflix worked okay), daily cleaning of the BBQ and pool was also cleaned every day. Local staff lives on the premises in a separate chalet but no intrusion of privacy at all. And both of them are very friendly, show lots of hospitality and it was fun to talk with Jerry. He even washed my car the day before departure, thanks for that! Very good bedding, kitchen very complete. Only missing things were some overhead fans in the living room (was very hot) and covered terrace. Strongly suggested! Mabalingwe is nice to stay but for wildlife pretty limited. Don't go there if you want to compare with the large national parks such as Kruger, Addo or Hluhluwe, but just enjoy the smaller reserve with some limitations. You can rent to house-owned game vehicle, we did so. Not necessary to book that for your whole stay. One or two days is okay. In the whole: great stay though 7 nights is pretty long, would suggest 4/5 nights.

Absoluut asemrowend!

Pragtige woning, met fantastiese staff en uitstekende diens. Alles wat mens nodig het vir 'n heerlike verblyf. Die woning is goed ingerig en die uitsig is ongelooflik mooi. Was ook gelukkig om 'n hele paar verskillende diere by die "watergat" voor die huis te sien. Heerlike wegbreek. Baie dankie ook aan Tanya vir die uitsonderlike diens! 5-ster inderdaad!

Absolutely incredible.

We enjoyed our stay at Stone Lodge very much. The place is in the ideal location - we saw lots of game from the deck. The house has been done up very nicely! Well done.

Baie lekker ontspan, goeie wildlewe.

Ons verblyf was baie lekker en rustig. Die akkommodasie is is luuks en daar is alles in die woonplek wat jy sou nodig kry om jou verblyf onvergeetlik te maak.
