Fun, relaxing and nature!

The stay at Thaba Monate Game Lodge was great! We could only check in at 12:00, as we were attending a wedding in Harties. The lodge manager was very nice and very helpful with this! She arranged with the gate that we would come in later. The chalet we were in was clean, neat and exactly as shown in the photos. I loved the fact that there was no WiFi, no TV and limited cell service. This ensured that we as a family could spend uninterrupted time together. The lodge has a swimming pool, mini golf and zipline - which ensures that everyone has something to do. Overall, the stay was great!

Lovely, will come again. Great 4x4 trails.

Excellent location. Friendly staff. Boy is a treat! Only negative was 2 nights of loud music and chatter by other campers. Sorry there was no hot water pool available when we were there.

Lovely restful weekend.

I highly recommend Thaba Monate; however, I wouldn't recommend it if you are camping with a group of friends. No noise allowed when you are a group; it becomes louder as you talk. Lovely place, value for money.

Absolutely brilliant!

We were absolutely amazed at how wonderful the place was. The beauty of the chalets and the environment is breathtaking. And the pools are wonderful, with waterslides, putt-putt, and tennis courts, all free. Any tiny request was attended to at once. We went on the most fantastic 4x4 ride. All in all, the place is fantastic, the pictures on the website do not do it justice, and we will be back as soon as possible. This is my new favourite place. Try it, you won't be sorry!

Kamp is altyd lekker saam met vriende, ons is 'Die Kamp Tjommies'.

Awesomme heerlik stil en kampplekke lekker groot. Swembaddens heerlik, kroegarea lekker kuierplek met vriendelike mense! Die eienaar en Tannie by ontvangs awesomme mense wat ons mooi gehelp het en baie tuis laat voel het! Badkamers was netjies, maar kan elke dag gediens word. Die pad van die hek na die kampterrein kan dalk so bietjie gelyk gemaak word, maar darem nie 4x4 nodig nie.

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.

Skoon maar oud en vervalle.

Die eenhede is skoon en het alles wat jy nodig het, borde, bekers, kookgereedskap. Die braai werk. Maar alles is oud, bietjie vervalle. Die paaie in Thaba Monate is glad nie toeganklik met 'n gewone bakkie nie! Jy kan glad nie 'n wildkykrit neem nie. Ons was baie teleurgestel. Daar is twee damme op die perseel. Maar ons kon glad nie by hulle kom nie.

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.

Fantastiese boswegbreek.

Dit was baie aangenaam. Paar voorstelle wat ons het, is om die eenhede te diens (mense wat kom skoonmaak). Gee die vakansieganger die opsie om ekstra te betaal vir 'n skoonmaak diens of nie. Stel ook net die mense wat chalets boek in kennis van die trappe (nommer 5 en 6). Ons het 'n ouer met 'n vorige heupoperasie gehad wat gesukkel het by die trappe. Die instandhouding van die plek is redelik en die uitsigte finominaal. Goeie diens oor die algemeen en naby genoeg uit Gauteng.

This review is being shown in its original language.

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.

It is a beautiful place with a lot of potential but it needs some serious upgrades.

We did enjoy the stay despite the following issues. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It must have been a very beautiful destination in its heyday but it is in need of some serious upgrades. I don't like to complain but here are some of the issues that need "fixing". The roads are very bad and one cannot drive at all. We have an EcoSport, which is not a low car but it could not cope with the rocky roads. The geyser is a big problem as the hot water just disappears in the middle of a shower. We also had a burst pipe on Saturday morning, so had no water for several hours but they did send someone to fix it that afternoon. Nowhere to hang dishcloths or towels or wet clothes. No bowls to use in the microwave or even to serve food. We were in Chalet no 16 and the access from the car to the chalet is very challenging especially for a family of 4 staying for 4 days. We had to climb backward and forwards up and down all those stairs about 6 times just to get our luggage and food from the car to the chalet. (Hubby and I are both pensioners). The grill on the braai is very bent and all the meat ends up sliding down to the middle of the grill. The chairs in the dining area are very high and difficult for elderly people to sit on. They are also too high for the table. At the moment I would not consider returning to Thaba Monate for a stay but I believe that most of the problems can be rectified and it can become a very nice destination for a family holiday.

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.

Serenity, with the sound of the stream flowing nearby. Enjoyed walking around.

Although the place is placed in between mountainous area, with trees and stream flowing right in front of the chalets, the maintenance is very poor. Lots of cockroaches in our room (luckily I had my insects spray). Broken tiles with residues in, I was not happy with the greetings from the ladies after introducing myself she went on. No one bothered to clean the pool, we kept on asking for it to be switched on. It should be cleaned thoroughly.

Hele park en chalets benodig opknapping en instanthouding.

Chalets mure en gordyne verskriklik vuil. Swembaddens vieslik vuil en glibberig op bodem. Winkel het 3 items op rakke. Het heeltyd verskonings oor hoekom alles eintlik uitmekaar uit val. Geen instandhouding en opknapping word gedoen nie. Kampeerplekke was dol leeg en chalets ook. Glybaan vir kinders was toe. Eienaars het geweet van die paasnaweek wat opkom, geen moeite was gedoen rakende die swembad, kafee, glybaan of gras wat alles toegroei nie en dan nog die vuil gordyne en mure en banke binne die chalet nie. Sal niemand aanraai nie.

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.

Rustige kamp in die middel van die bosveld.

Ons het dit vreeslik baie geniet om die naweek by Thaba Monate te gaan kamp. Die grondpad na die kampterrein is nie te sleg nie, en ons het dit baie geniet om in die krans te loop en fiets te ry. Bokke is baie mak, net soms lastig met asblikke omgooi ens. Was 'n heerlike naweek.

Peaceful camp in the middle of the forest.

We really enjoyed going camping at Thaba Monate this weekend. The dirt road to the campground is not too bad, and we really enjoyed walking and biking in the cliff. Goats are very tame, only sometimes troublesome with overturning trash cans etc. Was a lovely weekend.

Baie lekker gebly, die lodge kort bietjie aandag maar verstaanbaar na die hele COVID 19. Personeel is vriendelik en help graag. Grondpad is glad nie sleg nie. Ons het lekker gekuier en geslaap daar.

Baie lekker uitgerus. Pragtige uitsig en stil.

Ons gesin het baie lekker uitgespan en die bosveld geniet. Vir wat ons betaal het kan ons glad nie kla nie en sal beslis terugkeer. Die plek het onderhoud nodig, maar ons is in 'n pandemie en dit is te verstane. Die tarief het daarvoor opgemaak.

So-so.

Kinders het die swembaddens geniet. Die chalet was nie skoongemaak nie, spinnerakke oral, vloer, badkamer en stoof was vuil. In geheel kort die oord opknappingswerk. Daar word nie onderhoud gedoen nie en daar word nie skoongemaak nie. Die puttputt-bane en tennisbaan kort dringend aandag. Het die potensiaal om 'n wonderlike wegbreekplek te wees, maar kort behoorlike bestuur.

Stilte en rustigheid.

Die stilte was ongelooflik. Pad is bietjie sleg, maar te verstane dat dit in die berge is. Bokke wat tussen die chalets loop was wonderlik. Niks het hulle gepla nie. Dis wel baie droog, maar glo na goeie reën sal dit ongelooflik mooi wees. Uitsig vanaf die dek by die chalet was pragtig. Kon die Zipline sien, asook bokke onder in die kloof.

Silence and tranquility.

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.

Dit was baie kalm en presies wat ons wou gehad het.

Daar is baie gemors in die velddele wat ek baie hartseer vind. Ek dink hulle kan regtig die moeite doen om dit skoon te maak om die chalets en op die staproetes, maar eintlik orals, hulle het wild wat daar rondloop tussen die gemors. It's embarrassing that we allow our animals to live in our rubbish.

There is a lot of rubbish in the field parts which I find very sad.

It's embarrassing that we allow our animals to live in our rubbish.

We enjoyed our stay.

Problem is the gravel roads. There's a 1 km gravel road to the main entrance. It is very bumpy. And the gravel roads inside the lodge have sharp stones. The lodge is big and beautiful, but the pool side area is very far from the chalets: you have to drive to get there on those gravel roads. The short cut which is the hanging bridge it is closed. Can the lodge please fix the roads inside the lodge and that hanging bridge so that we can walk to the entertainment side.

The place to stay is very old and no more maintenance is done to the place.

Gate closes at 10 o'clock in the evening and although the guard sleeps there, it is difficult to gain access after 10. Accommodation is old and dilapidated and the two bedroom is not suitable for 2 adults.

Rustig, stil, kalm, net wat jy nodig het vir 'n wegbreek van die stad af.

Met aankoms was personeel baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons het in een van hulle Safari-tente gebly, was baie netjies en skoon, sal wel aanbeveel dat hulle 'n ketel en mikrogolf byvoeg in die tent. Ablusieblok C is netjies, maar kan beter. Die padkaart van die lodge kan beter gedoen word en beter aanduidings gee van waar om te ry ens. Om alles op te som, dit was 'n heerlike wegbreek vir 'n naweek en ek sal aanbeveel vir mense wat lief is vir die natuur en eenvoudig vakansie hou.

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.

Goeie ligging en die fasiliteite het die potensiaal om goeie verblyf te verskaf.

Die chalet waarin ons gebly het, word nie behoorlik onderhou nie (grasdak het reparasies nodig, voordeur is oud en glas is gevlek deur jare se son, houtreling kort aandag, 3 bulbs was nie in werkende toestand nie, ketel werk nie). Die probleem by die oord is algemene bestuursoorsig. Die voëls in ontvangsarea het geen kos gehad nie en mens kan skaars die visse in die vistenk sien, so vuil is die tenk.

The problem at the resort is general management. The birds in the reception area had no food and one can hardly see the fish in the fish tank it was so dirty.

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.

Vals advertering, kon 'n baie meer aangename naweek gewees het.

Instandhouding van geriewe soos bv. put-put en tennisbane uiters swak. Soveel dubbeltjies en bossies, kinders kan nie kaalvoet rondloop. Geen warm swembad soos geadverteer. Kinderglybaan is eers op die Saterdag aangeskakel nadat ons die Woensdag al ingeboek het. Werkers besig met herstelwerk rondom swembaddens het gaste baie ongemaklik laat voel terwyl hul wou swem. Gras rondom hoofswembad-area was lank. Gelukkig was daar oorgenoeg warm water by die ablusieblokke. Skoonmaakstaf was baie vriendelik en het gesorg dat badkamers en braaigeriewe skoon is te alle tye.

False advertising, could have been a much more enjoyable weekend.

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.

Nice venue, but very unprofessional.

The drain in the shower was blocked. The maintenance people replaced a geyser in the Bierman chalet as they had no hot water the first night. I asked them to come and unblock the drain. The guy said that he would come back, but he did not. When I spoke to the receptionist, she had no interest in my problem and referred me to CJ and when I spoke to CJ I had about the same reaction. No apologies or anything of the sort. He gave me some story that his maintenance guy's father passed away. Very unprofessional!

Glad nie wat jy verwag nie.

Die dag met aankoms het dit die vorige dag gereën, braaier by ons staanplek was vol water, moes 4 keer bel en 2 keer die man vra wat daar werk vir 'n braaier. Eers om 18:00 het ons 'n braai ontvang nadat ek gesê het ons gaan op hulle gras vuur maak, met klein kinders werk dit nie vir 'n mens nie. Die ablusie is vreeslik vuil en oud, die ander ablusies is mooi skoon en netjies, maar die een waar ons gestaan het kan hulle gerus toe maak of restoureer, kan nie dink hulle wil hulle gaste daar laat stort of bad nie. Die netjiese ablusies is te vêr jy moet ry na hulle toe, dit is nie binne loopafstand nie.

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.

Rustig, netjies, skoon, die perfekte plek om net weer daai moegheid af te skud na 'n besige begin van die jaar.

Die personeel is vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die geriewe is skoon, in die woonplek en ook by die kantore. Dis die perfekte plek om te gaan rus, in die natuur, geen rus versteuring. Daar is 'n baie lekker wildrit wat ek beslis sal aanbeveel. Die mense het 'n verhouding met die diere, dis nie net 'n paar wilde diere wat rondloop vir hul eie plesier nie. Daar word gekyk na hulle en hulle word goed gevoed. Ek sal beslis weer teruggaan. Uitstekende vakansieverblyf!

Quiet, neat, clean, the perfect place to just shake off that tiredness after a busy start to the year.

The staff are friendly and helpful. The facilities are clean, in the residence and also at the offices. It's the perfect place to rest, in nature, no rest disturbance. 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!

Dit is plaaslewe en weg van alle kommersiële resorts.

Ek sal by verre die plek aanbeveel, diens is puik, verblyf was puik en die geriewe was meer as genoeg. Diens aan die gaste is by verre beter as meeste resorts en ek is klaar besig om my volgende vakansie te reël, weer by Thaba Monate. Great span en great plek.

Slegs vir 'n naweek indien in seisoen. Hulle vergeet heeltemal van kliëntediens as die oord stil is.

Op aankoms was als baie goed. Als is skoon en netjies onderhou. Diere op die perseel is goed versorg. Ons was wel daar buite seisoen en teen Sondagmiddag was dit asof ons vergete was. Elke keer as iemand ons gesien het, was ons gevra of ons op pad is, al het ons bespreek tot Dinsdag. Restaurant was nie weer oop nie. Water glybaan was nie weer aan nie. Kon nie 'n wildrit bespreek nie. Diens was net nie meer beskikbaar nie. Moes heeltyd net van ontvangs hoor hulle sal terugkom na ons toe. Net jammer hulle het ons nie voor die tyd gesê dit gaan so wees nie.

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.

Behalwe vir twee haakplekke was dit heerlik.

Pragtig geleë plek in die mooi natuur wat rus en stilte bied (ons was vir 'n midweek daar) en meeste eenhede is vêr genoeg van mekaar om lekker privaat te kan wees. Ongelukkig wou ons gaswaterverwarmer die eerste aand nie werk nie en moes ons in die middel van die winter sonder 'n warm bad gaan slaap. Dit is die volgende oggend herstel. Restaurantgeriewe op die perseel waarop ons staat gemaak het en soos geadverteer, was nie tydens ons verblyf beskikbaar nie en moes ons noodgedwonge Warmbad toe ry vir 'n paar etes. Klein dingetjies hier en daar kort instandhouding, maar ten spyte van alles wat ons getref het, sal ons graag weer wil gaan.

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.

Totale teleurstelling. Die plek en sy personeel het iewers in die 70's vasgehaak.

Ontvangs was pateties! Sussie moet asb. leer hoe om met mense te werk en nie met die gaste te stry sommer vanuit die staanspoor nie. R200 per ekstra voertuig is belaglik. As mens in 'n 6 bed chalet bly, is die kanse goed dat dit ten minste 2 voertuie gaan wees, min mense ry met bussies. Die inventaris is om van te huil. Daar is so min in die chalet wat op die lys is en doen jy navraag, vertel Sussie jou die plek is vol bespreek en hulle het nie ekstra nie. Weereens, mens kan nie vir 6 mense in 'n 2 liter potjie kosmaak nie, kom by! Dankie tog ons het ons eie toiletpapier gevat, want 'n halwe rolletjie in elke badkamer vir 4 dae is darem net te min. Met die uitklok is daar gesê ek sal my deposito binne 10 dae terug hê. Dit is 3 weke later en ek wag steeds. Die plek is in 'n beter toestand gelos as wat ons hom gekry het. Ek sal nooit weer teruggaan nie! Ek sal ook nie die plek aanbeveel vir mense nie! Al wat aanneemlik was, en 'n bietjie ekstra myl loop, is die jong dame wat by die restaurant was.

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.

Ontvangs was baie swak en al hul geriewe is nie goed genoeg gewees vir aantal mense nie en hul was nie eers vol nie.

Die ontvangs was baie swak gewees, ons moes meer as 'n uur wag dat hulle hulle papier werk agtermekaar kry, ons was die enigstes in ontvangs op daai oomblik. Die swemgeriewe was oorvol en te min vir die aantal mense wat daar was en die plek was nie eers vol geboek nie. Die winkel kon nie byhou met ys nie en die kroeg by die swembad wat soos 15 meter van die winkel is, se pryse op ys was R5 'n sak meer oor dit nie by die winkel is nie. Ons braai was vir die eerste paar dae nie skoon gemaak nie en ook nie ons asblik nie, ons het dit self gedoen tot ek die een skoonmaker van dit gesê het. Die kampplek self was baie nice en lekker, maar oor die res van die geriewe wat nie kan byhou nie, glo ek ons sal maar volgende keer hier verby hou.

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.

Geld mors - die plek sien my nie weer nie!

Thaba Monate Game Lodge kan 'n baie beter lodge wees as daar nie bietjie instandhouding gedoen word. Ons het gekamp en staanplekke is baie gerieflik, dis net jammer vir die volgende: Die warmswembad is baie vuil gewees en baie te klein om al die mense te akkommodeer. Die put-put bane is vuil en dan betaal mens nog om daar te speel. Daar is nie sekurtiteit op die oord nie en al die reëls van in die swembaddens eet en drink verdwyn weens 'n gebrek aan sekuriteit. Die water by die ablusieblok verdwyn na 1 min en dan staan jy onder die stort sonder water. In die oggende en in die aande is daar geen toiletpapier in die toilets nie. Die vroulike skoonmakers stap sommer net in die manstoilete in soos dit hulle pas. Daar is baie te min asblikke op die kampterrein. Daar is muf op die vloer van die badkamer. Die water spuit orals behalwe in die bad as mens die kraan oopdraai. Daar is nie orals proppe in die badkamers nie. Die krane in die badkamer is los. Ek sal nooit weer my geld so mors om die plek te besoek nie. Baie teleurstellend.

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.

Dit was 'n heerlike ontspannende verblyf in 'n netjiese en skitterskoon tent met uitstekende ablusiegeriewe.

'n Uitstekende plek om heeltemal weg te breek van die alledaagse gejaag. Ons sal die plek by almal aanbeveel wat hou van die natuur en interaksie met diere. Die nyalas is so mak dat hulle om die tente en in die karavaanpark tussen die besoekers kuier. Die vriendelike en uiters bekwame personeel is 'n groot bate en ons het werklik baie tuis gevoel. Daar is ook 'n kiosk waar allerlei kos en vars produkte gekoop kan word en die swembaddens is lieflik geleë en baie goed versorg.

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.

Wonderlik, maar bly weg van hul breakfast.

Ons het in die Safari-tente gebly, als is wonderlik, behalwe toe ek weer wou boek, sê hul daar is net een Safari-tent beskikbaar. Sou lekker gewees het as daar meer was. Als was wonderlik behalwe hul breakfast, aan ons was gebied dieselfde as vir die mense wat in die Chalets bly, vir R60-00 per kop kry jy margarien (geen egte botter), en mushrooms wat gemeng is met een of ander "cheap thickener", en die vrou wat vir ons opgeskep het, het vir elkeen net twee klein potato chips, een cherrie tomato (wat in twee gesny is), en twee stukkies bacon gegee. En jy kry Ricoffy vir coffee en "Jannie verjaar mix" koeldrank vir fruit juice, nie eens gepraat van die "long life" melk nie. Vir ons was die ontbyt 'n teleurstelling en glad nie die moeite werd nie. As jy daarheen gaan, maak liewers jou eie kos. Anders as dit was dit baie goeie waarde vir geld.

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.

Baie rustige en onspanne atmosfeer. Voorwaar 'n plekkie om te gaan rus en die natuurskoon te geniet.

By aankoms was die ontvangs goed gewees. Restaurant en kroeg se diens is van gehalte. Wooneenheid benodig bietjie opknappingswerk soos bv. stort wat water lek op hoofslaapkamer bed. Geen badkamermatjies was voorsien soos op die inventaris lys aangedui is nie asook vullishouer in hoofslaapkamer. Wooneenheid is ruim genoeg vir aantal persone wat dit kan huisves. Braai-area by eenheid is goed ingerig. Lekker kuierarea.Sal beslis weer Thaba Monate Game lodge besoek.

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.

Very friendly and helpful place.

We liked the caravan park even though we were the only people staying there most of the time. We never felt unsafe or threatened. We left our stuff there for a few weekends and came back to find everything was great. I did feel that the ablutions should be cleaned on a regular basis, which did not happen while we were there.

Baie goeie waarde vir geld.

Het in 'n chalet gebly. Was baie skoon en met al die geriewe wat mens nodig het. Fasiliteite is baie goed. Oord is goed in stand gehou.

Die verblyf is fantasties en baie mooi.

Die verblyf was uitstekend en baie mooi. Ek dink hulle kan wel die swembad-area verbeter en die area skoner hou. Daar is potensiaal om baie meer daar te kan doen. Ek dink ook nie dit is van pas vir mense om in die swembaddens te sit en drink nie.

The accommodation is fantastic and very beautiful.

The accommodation was excellent and very beautiful. I think they can improve the pool area and keep the area cleaner. There is potential to do a lot more there. I also don't think it's appropriate for people to sit and drink in the pools.

Mooi natuurskoon.

Heerlik ontspanne omgewing. Ongelukkig was ontvangs nie bewus dat ons Maandag 4 September sou inboek nie, maar dis goed hanteer. Al was dit nie 'n goeie gevoel nie en het ons aanvanklik ontydig gevoel is ons tent binne halfuur reg gewees. Probleem uitgesorteer. Geen geen verdere probleme gehad nie.

Beautiful scenery.

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.

Dit was ok.

Ons het lekker gebly maar die oord kort baie opgraderings veral vir die prys wat ons betaal het (kampplek).

We had a nice stay but the resort needs a lot of upgrades especially for the price we paid (campsite).

Lekker.

Thaba Monate is 'n oord met baie potensiaal. Die oord word glad nie instandgehou nie. Die chalets is netjies maar kort opgradering. Meubels is oud. Die chalet word op 'n daaglikse basis skoongemaak maar moes ons elke dag tot na 13:00 wag vir hulle om skoon te maak. Saterdag het hulle eers 15:00 kom skoonmaak nadat ons die ontvangs gebel het. Ons chalet het nie 'n besem gehad nie en het ek 2 keer gevra vir een wat ek nie ontvang het nie. Asblik binne-in die chalet is stukkend, die chalet was ook nie baie skoon nie.

Nice.

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.

Personeel uiters onvriendelik.

Ons chalet was baie vuil gewees met ons aankoms. Selfs die vadoeke in die kombuis was vuil (gelukkig het ons ons eie geneem en kon dit gebruik). Die chalet kon ook nie baie goed sluit nie, wat ons baie senuweeagtig gemaak het, maar ons kon dit later met baie moeite gesluit kry. Personeel is uiters onvriendelik, veral die dame by ontvangs. Ons wildrit was ook 'n gemors, die voertuig het gaan staan en die bestuurder het geen manier gehad om iemand te laat weet om ons te kom haal nie, een van ons het toe met ons eie selfone hulp gesoek. Ons sal nie weer soontoe gaan nie. Dit is so jammer, want dit is 'n vreeslike mooi plek.

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.

Baie agteruitgang by die oord.

Baie vlieë by kroeg en restaurant a.g.v. wilde diere hokke net agter die geboue. Daar word gerook in die kroeg toonbank area?! Baie swak. Sal beslis nie weer daar wil eet nie.

A lot of deterioration at the resort.

Many flies at bar and restaurant due to wild animal cages just behind the buildings. There is smoking in the bar counter area?! Very weak. Definitely wouldn't want to eat there again.

Thank you for Travelground.com's service. It was excellent. Thaba Monate is lovely with clean amenities and the staff so helpful and friendly. We sent photographs to our children overseas and they were just as impressed. We will definitely return.
