Camping is always fun with friends, we are 'Die Kamp Tjommies'.
Wonderfully quiet and campsites nice and big. Swimming pools delicious, bar area nice place to hang out with friendly people! The owner and Tannie at reception are awesome people who helped us and made us feel very much at home! Bathrooms were neat, but could be serviced every day. The road from the gate to the campsite could perhaps be leveled a bit, but at least no 4x4 needed.

Clean but old and dilapidated.
The units are clean and have everything you need, plates, cups, cooking utensils. The braai works. But everything is old, a bit dilapidated. The roads in Thaba Monate are not accessible at all with an ordinary bakkie! You can't take a game drive at all. We were very disappointed. There are two ponds on the premises. But we couldn't get to them at all.

Fantastic forest getaway.
It was very pleasant. A couple of suggestions we have are to service the units (people who come to clean). Give the vacationer the option to pay extra for a cleaning service or not. Also only inform the people who book chalets about the stairs (number 5 and 6). We had a parent with previous hip surgery who struggled with the stairs. The maintenance of the place is reasonable and the views finominal. Good service overall and close enough from Gauteng.

Beautiful nature.
I was there a few years ago and my experience is that the place has gone down a lot and noticed that people don't go there anymore the place is empty maintenance is but little and the chalets can also be upgraded a little see why they give a discount it is such a beautiful place all the chalets that are empty are not kept clean and maintained at all but I still enjoyed the beautiful nature and the little wildlife.

Entire park and chalets need renovation and instant maintenance.
Chalets walls and curtains terribly dirty. Swimming pools filthy and slippery on the bottom. Store has 3 items on shelves. Always have excuses as to why everything is actually falling apart. No maintenance and renovation is done. Campsites were crazy empty and chalets too. Children's slide was closed. Owners knew about the Easter weekend coming up, no effort was made regarding the pool, cafe, slide or grass that was all overgrown and not to mention the dirty curtains and walls and sofas inside the chalet. Will not recommend to anyone.

The silence was incredible. Road is a bit bad, but understandably it is in the mountains. Goats walking between the chalets were wonderful. Nothing bothered them. It is indeed very dry, but believe me after a good rain it will be incredibly beautiful. View from the deck at the chalet was beautiful. Could see the Zipline, as well as goats down in the gorge.

There is a lot of rubbish in the field parts which I find very sad. I think they could really make an effort to clean it up around the chalets and on the hiking trails, but really everywhere, they have wildlife running around in the mess. It's embarrassing that we allow our animals to live in our rubbish.

Ablution block C is neat, but can be better. The road map of the lodge can be done better and give better indications of where to go etc. To sum it up, it was a great getaway for a weekend and I would recommend to people who love nature and just love going on holiday.

Pleasant, but many challenges for management that need attention.
We booked a tent house but then got a six bed chalet at no extra charge which was fine but we packed all our gear for camping. Maybe they could have let us know earlier. The chalets are very dated and need upgrading. There is a lot of plastic and waste in the field which is very dangerous for the animals. The animals can be looked after better, also those in smaller camps. The white lion and wolf had no water and immediately went to drink when the guide turned on the water. Thabo Monate may be a good resort again like it was 20 years ago with better management.

Maintenance of facilities such as putt-putt and tennis courts extremely poor. So many doubles and bushes, children can't walk around barefoot. No heated pool as advertised. Children's slide was only turned on on the Saturday after we had already checked in on the Wednesday. Workers doing repairs around swimming pools made guests feel very uncomfortable while they wanted to swim. Grass around main pool area was long. Fortunately, there was plenty of hot water at the ablution blocks. Cleaning staff were very friendly and ensured that bathrooms and braai facilities were clean at all times.

Not what I expected at all.
The day of arrival it rained the previous day, braai at our stand was full of water, had to call 4 times and 2 times asked the man working for a braai. Only at 18:00 did we receive a braai after saying we were going to fire on their grass, with small children not working for a man. The ablution is very dirty and old, the other ablution is nice and clean, but the one we stood for can rest or repair them, can't think they want to shower or shower their guests there. The neat ablution is too far you have to drive to them, it's not within walking distance.

There is a very nice game drive that I would definitely recommend. The people have a relationship with the animals, it's not just a few wild animals walking around for their own pleasure. They are looked after and well fed. I will definitely go back again. Excellent holiday accommodation!

Only for a weekend if in season. They completely forget about customer service when the resort is quiet.
On arrival everything was very good. Als is clean and neatly maintained. Animals on the premises are well cared for. We were there out of season and by Sunday afternoon it was as if we had been forgotten. Every time someone saw us, we were asked if we were on our way, even though we had booked until Tuesday. Restaurant was not open again. Water slide was not on again. Couldn't book a game drive. Service was just no longer available. Just kept hearing from reception that they would get back to us. Just a shame they didn't tell us ahead of time that it was going to be like that.

Apart from two hiccups it was delicious.
Beautifully located place in the beautiful nature that offers peace and quiet (we were there for a midweek) and most units are far enough from each other to be nice and private. Unfortunately our gas water heater wouldn't work the first night and we had to go to bed in the middle of winter without a hot bath. It was repaired the next morning. Restaurant facilities on the premises that we relied on and as advertised were not available during our stay and we were forced to drive to Warmbad for a few meals. Little things here and there need maintenance, but despite everything that hit us, we would love to go again.

Had a wonderful time in the forest. The safari tent was clean and the ablution facilities were clean. However, the whole resort is a little tired and in need of attention.

Total disappointment. The place and its staff got stuck sometime in the 70s.
Reception was pathetic! Sis please learn how to work with people and not argue with the guests right from the start. R200 per extra vehicle is ridiculous. If you stay in a 6 bed chalet, the chances are good that it will be at least 2 vehicles, few people drive vans. The inventory is to cry about. There are so few in the chalet that are on the list and if you inquire, Sussie tells you the place is fully booked and they have no extra. Again, you can't cook for 6 people in a 2 liter jar, come on! Thank goodness we took our own toilet paper, because half a roll in each bathroom for 4 days is just too little. Upon check out I was told I would have my deposit back within 10 days. It's 3 weeks later and I'm still waiting. The place was left in better condition than we found it. I will never go back again! I wouldn't recommend the place to people either! All that was plausible, and going a little extra mile, is the young lady who was at the restaurant.

Reception was very poor and all their facilities were not good enough for the number of people and they were not even full.
The reception was very poor, we had to wait more than an hour for them to get their paper work in order, we were the only ones in reception at that moment. The swimming facilities were overcrowded and too few for the number of people there and the place was not even fully booked. The shop could not keep up with ice and the bar by the swimming pool which is like 15 meters from the shop, the prices on ice were R5 a bag more than it is not at the shop. Our barbecue was not cleaned for the first few days and neither was our trash, we did it ourselves until I told the one cleaner about it. The campsite itself was very nice and nice, but as for the rest of the amenities that can't keep up, I believe we'll just pass by here next time.

Waste of money - the place will not see me again!
Thaba Monate Game Lodge could be a much better lodge if some maintenance was not done. We camped and pitches are very comfortable, it's just a shame about the following: The hot pool was very dirty and very small to accommodate all the people. The putt-putt courses are dirty and then you still pay to play there. There is no security at the resort and all the rules of eating and drinking in the swimming pools disappear due to a lack of security. The water at the ablution block disappears after 1 min and then you stand under the shower without water. In the mornings and in the evenings there is no toilet paper in the toilets. The female cleaners just walk into the men's toilets as they see fit. There are far too few bins on the campsite. There is mold on the bathroom floor. The water sprays everywhere except in the bath when you turn on the tap. There are no plugs everywhere in the bathrooms. The faucets in the bathroom are loose. I will never again waste my money like that to visit the place. Very disappointing.

It was very relaxing accommodation in a neat and very clean tent with excellent ablution facilities.
An excellent place to break away from the rush. We will recommend the place to everybody that likes nature and interaction with animals. The nyalas are so tame that they walk between the tents and in the caravan park amongst the visitors. The friendly and very capable staff is a big asset and made us feel at home. There is also a kiosk where food and fresh produce can be bought and the swimming pools are located well and very well looked after.

Wonderful, but stay away from their breakfast.
We stayed in the Safari tents, everything is great, except when I wanted to book again, they said there is only one Safari tent available. Would have been nice if there were more. Als was great apart from their breakfast, we were offered the same as for the people staying in the Chalets, for R60-00 per head you get margarine (no real butter), and mushrooms mixed with some "cheap thickener" , and the woman who scooped us up only gave each of us two small potato chips, one cherry tomato (cut in half), and two pieces of bacon. And you get Ricoffy for coffee and "Jannie birthday mix" soda for fruit juice, not even talking about the "long life" milk. For us, the breakfast was a disappointment and not worth it at all. If you go there, make your own food. Other than that it was very good value for money.

Very calm and relaxed atmosphere. Truly a place to rest and enjoy the scenery.
On arrival the reception was good. Restaurant and bar service is of quality. Residential unit needs some renovation work such as e.g. shower leaking water on master bedroom bed. No bathroom mats were provided as indicated on the inventory list as well as a garbage can in the master bedroom. Housing unit is spacious enough for number of persons it can accommodate. Braai area at unit is well equipped. Nice visiting area. Will definitely visit Thaba Monate Game lodge again.

Lovely relaxed environment. Unfortunately, reception was unaware of our arrival on Monday, September 4 but they handled it well and dealt with it. At first it was not a good feeling, we felt uncomfortable and out of place but then our tent was ready within a half an hour. Problem sorted out. No further problems.

Thaba Monate is a resort with a lot of potential. The resort is not maintained at all. The chalets are neat but need upgrading. Furniture is old. The chalet is cleaned on a daily basis but we had to wait until after 1pm every day for them to clean. On Saturday they didn't come to clean until 15:00 after we called the reception. Our chalet did not have a broom and I asked twice for one which I did not receive. Trash can inside the chalet is broken, the chalet was not very clean either.

Staff extremely unfriendly.
Our chalet was very dirty upon our arrival. Even the dish towels in the kitchen were dirty (luckily we took our own and were able to use them). The chalet also couldn't lock very well, which made us very nervous, but we managed to get it locked later with a lot of difficulty. Staff are extremely unfriendly, especially the lady at reception. Our game drive was also a mess, the vehicle stalled and the driver had no way of letting anyone know to come pick us up, one of us then used our own cell phones to look for help. We will not go there again. It's such a shame, because it's an awfully beautiful place.
