Hi Anlize,

Dankie vir jou resensie. Ek het jou persoonlik ingeboek en die huis was skoon en netjies. Die plaashuis bied baie aan, insluitend jou eie private jacuzzi, swembad, en ook braai en boma-area's, goeie kwaliteit linne, en voldoende geriewe vir bekostigbare verblyf en waarde vir geld.

Groete, Priscilla

Heerlike plaasvakansie.

Weereens het ons 'n fantastiese tyd gehad by Thaba Tholo Game Farm. Dis perfek as mens uit die stad uit wil kom en die rustigheid van die bos wil hê. Kinders het baie plek om rond te hardloop en te speel, en na die diere te kyk wat gereeld verby stap. Almal is baie vriendelik en gasvry. Ons sien uit na ons wegbreek in Maart weer by julle. Baie dankie vir julle gasvryheid Kim en Johann. Ons sien uit na nog baie vakansies by Thaba Tholo Game Farm.

Lovely farm holiday.

Once again we had a fantastic time at Thaba Tholo Game Farm. It's perfect if you want to get out of the city and have the tranquility of the forest. Children have plenty of space to run around and play, and watch the animals that often walk by. Everyone is very friendly and hospitable. We look forward to our break with you again in March. Thank you very much for your hospitality Kim and Johann. We look forward to many more holidays at Thaba Tholo Game Farm.

Die huis het dringend aandag nodig. Die bure het ons rus belemmer en die wild weggejaag met hul quad bikes en op-en-af ryery die langnaweek. Die huis was nie skoon met aankoms nie, en mens kry die indruk van 'n "bo blink en onder stink" benadering. Daar is twee ander wonings (een permanent en een naweek) baie naby aan die plaashuis wat nie oorspronklik genoem was nie.

Wat 'n weeklange bosveldwegbreek op 'n wildsplaas moes wees het halfpad deur ontaard in 'n teleurstellende verblyf. Dit was duidelik eens 'n lieflike plaashuis maar het ongelukkig ietwat verval en stel teleur vir die geld was ons betaal het. Die dak het herstelwerk nodig en van die plafonne het lelike watervlekke. Die hoofslaapkamerplafon het waterskade en trek oop bo die stort en die plafonverf skilfer af bo die bed. Kombuis- en klerekaste het glas/houtpanele wat skort en van die klerekaslaaie is onklaar. Die huis se bedrading is plek-plek onnet en oonooglike afgebinde bedrading hang plek-plek uit die plafon. Ons moes van die kombuistoerusting skrop voor gebruik, bv. vuil glase en bakke, nat borde, opdisbakke met ou aangebrande taaisel binne. Op aankoms moes ons die yskas en -rakke uitskrop met Jik en 'n tandeborsel en met suurlemoensap uitvee om van die vrot-vleis reuk en aangepakte vleissop ontslae te raak. Ons moes sonder die yskasrakke klaarkom want hulle pas nie behoorlik nie en val uit. Gelukkig was daar die 'koeldrank yskas' buite by die boma. Ons het 'n bottel Jik en skottelgoedseep geskenk. Daar was geitjie (rot?) urine- & miskolle agter die yskas en êrens in die gang wat die kombuis en slaapkamers uiters onwelriekend* gelaat het. [*Ook in 'n vorige resensie genoem!] Die bad en stort in die hoofslaapkamer het ook miskolle gehad wat deur die loop van ons 6-aand kuier nooit skoongemaak is nie. Ons het die kolle self met Jik behandel om van die stank ontslae te raak. Die ander badkamer se stort was verstop met hare en dreineer swak. Ons moes 'n afstandbeheerder ('remote') vir die hoofhek deel met die bure en die bouers, en ons moes by tye spaander om dit op te spoor om gaste te ontvang. Die groot trekpunt van die huis was die bosveldstilte en ons het bowenal uitgesien na die wildsbokke wat voor en soms deur die tuin beweeg. Die buurhuis ('cottage' 20m voor die plaashuis op die erf) het gaste die langnaweek onthaal, op sigself nie 'n probleem nie. Ongelukkig het hulle feitlik die hele naweek met quadbikes en 'n mini dune buggy vir die kinders om en voor 'ons' huis deur die veld rondgejaag. Die naweekbure aan die ander kant (waar hulle deurgaans bou) het een aand doodluiters in 'ons' tuin ingeloop om brandhout by 'ons' boma te kom haal. Ons rus is dus telkemale versteur deur vreemdelinge wat vlak voor 'ons' huis deur die veld gery of geloop het en ons het geen werklike privaatheid geniet nie. Ons was wel baie dankbaar vir oom Koos wat elke dag kom inloer het en die gasstoof aan die brand gesteek het, Hannes wat elke dag die braak skoongemaak & nuwe braaihout gestapel het en die borrelbad vir ons voorberei het, en Julia wat elke tweede dag skottelgoed gewas en beddens opgemaak het (en daarvoor betaal is).

The house is in urgent need of attention. The neighbors disturbed our rest and drove the wildlife away with their quad bikes and riding up and down the long weekend. The house was not clean on arrival, and one gets the impression of a "shiny upstairs and stinky downstairs" approach. There are two other residences (one permanent and one weekend) very close to the farmhouse that were not originally mentioned.

What should have been a week-long bushveld getaway on a game farm turned into a disappointing stay halfway through. It was clearly once a lovely farmhouse but unfortunately has somewhat fallen into disrepair and is disappointing for the money we paid. The roof needs repairs and some of the ceilings have ugly water stains. The master bedroom ceiling has water damage and is pulling open above the shower and the ceiling paint is peeling above the bed. Kitchen and wardrobes have missing glass/wooden panels and some of the wardrobe drawers are broken. The house's wiring is messy in places and unsightly disconnected wiring hangs from the ceiling in places. We had to scrub some of the kitchen equipment before use, e.g. dirty glasses and bowls, wet plates, dishes with old burnt paste inside. On arrival we had to scrub the fridge and shelves with Jik and a toothbrush and wipe down with lemon juice to get rid of the rotten meat smell and packed meat soup. We had to do without the fridge shelves because they don't fit properly and fall out. Luckily there was the 'soft drink fridge' outside at the boma. We donated a bottle of Jik and dish soap. There were gecko (rat?) urine & dung stains behind the fridge and somewhere in the hallway which left the kitchen and bedrooms extremely smelly*. [*Also mentioned in a previous review!] The tub and shower in the master bedroom also had stains that were never cleaned during our 6-night stay. We treated the spots ourselves with Jik to get rid of the smell. The other bathroom's shower was clogged with hair and draining poorly. We had to share a remote control ('remote') for the main gate with the neighbors and the builders, and we had to chip at times to locate it to receive guests. The big attraction of the house was the woodland silence and we looked forward above all to the antelopes that move in front and sometimes through the garden. The neighboring house ('cottage' 20m in front of the farmhouse on the erf) entertained guests over the long weekend, in itself not a problem. Unfortunately, they spent almost the whole weekend racing around the field around and in front of 'our' house with quadbikes and a mini dune buggy for the children. The weekend neighbors on the other side (where they build all the time) walked into 'our' garden out of the blue one night to get firewood from 'our' boma. Our rest was therefore repeatedly disturbed by strangers who drove or walked through the field right in front of 'our' house and we enjoyed no real privacy. We were very grateful to uncle Koos who dropped in every day and lit the gas stove, Hannes who cleaned the fallow every day & stacked new braai wood and prepared the hot tub for us, and Julia who did the dishes every other day washed and made beds (and was paid for).

Thaba Tholo Game Farm 's response

Hi Hildegard, baie dankie vir jou terugvoer. In die afgelope 10 jaar wat ons die plaashuis uitverhuur, het ons nog nooit so 'n deeglike en moeitevolle terugvoering ontvang nie. Ons sal verseker aandag skenk aan die probleme en foute wat jy vir ons uitgewys het. Dankie dat jy selfs tyd gehad het om onder en agter die yskas te kon kyk. Ons hou ons tariewe per kop so laag en bekostigbaar as moontlik, jammer dat dit vir julle te veel was.

Heerlik in die bosveld en perfekte plek om te kan ontspan en uit die besige stad te kom

Ek kan Thaba Tholo vir enigiemand aanbeveel. Dit is heerlik en mooi toegerus met die wilde diere wat sommer by die kamp inkom. Dit is die naaste wat ek nog ooit aan 'n goue-wildebees was. Dit is net perfek. Maak gerus 'n bespreking jy sal nie spyt wees nie.

Nice in the Bushveld.

Whenever I make a booking at any of the online booking sites I first check the reviews. There were some negative reviews, however the majority of reviews where positive. We where welcomed by Koos, the Farm Manager and he made us feel at home from the time we step out of our car until we left the Sunday. All the staff that we interacted with were very friendly. We were accommodated in the main house. All the room were clean, bedding was clean, braai area was clean, etc. The main house is old and needs some "TLC" then it would make the breakaway even more remarkable. Koos explained that we can do our own game drives. Everything in the house was in working order. Will we go back? The answer is Yes. Thank you for a great weekend.

Disappointed!

I wouldn’t pick this place for another visit I must say. No one told us the Jacuzzi was not working, we were promised a game drive, nothing of te sort happened. We could’ve stayed at our houses had we known the type of stay we were heading to. Very disappointed!

Thaba Tholo Game Farm 's response

Hi Memory,
Sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your stay, the heating system of the jacuzzi was damaged by loadshedding, I am really sorry, still waiting for someone to help us to fix it. You guys paid R195 per person, and expected that it includes a game drive. We do not advertise game drives, a game farm is for people that want to enjoy nature, birds and game roaming around the farmhouse, to have a braai and watch DStv, take walks or drive around on the farm or to visit al the nice attractions Naboom area offers, unfortunately, we offer accommodation at an affordable rate and don't organize activities for our guests.
Have a great day

Blyplek baie ouer as webtuiste foto's en verg aandag i.t.v. instandhouding.

Webtuiste foto's baie misleidend. Blyplek baie ouer en kort instandhouding. Indien 10 mense op een aand daar bly kan die prys dalk geregverdig wees. Teen R2500 per aand kan baie meer modern en luukse verblyf in die area bekom word. Geen warm water in woonstelle. 10 km grondpad met beperkte toeganklikheid. Ek sou plek aanbeveel vir jagters en ook die vriendelikheid en behulpsaamheid van Lientjie, Joseph en Koos, maar nie teen die prys van R2500 per nag nie.

Accommodation much older than website photos and needs attention in terms of maintenance.

Website photos very misleading. Accommodation much older and low maintenance. If 10 people stay there on one night, the price may be justified. At R2500 per night, much more modern and luxurious accommodation can be obtained in the area. No hot water in apartments. 10 km dirt road with limited accessibility. I would recommend the place for hunters and also the friendliness and helpfulness of Lientjie, Joseph and Koos, but not at the price of R2500 per night.

Teleurstellend.

Die plek is pragtig buite met die rustigheid, natuur en wild, maar binne is dit onverwags teleurstellend.

Disappointing.

The place is beautiful outside with the tranquility, nature and wildlife, but inside it is unexpectedly disappointing.

Goeie verblyf teen billike prys, goeie ontvangs en baie mooi natuurskoon.

Baie goeie aanwysings na die plaas. Goed toegeruste huis en woonsteleenhede op plaas. Goeie ontvangs deur Koos en Joseph. Rustige, stil omgewing met wonderlike natuurskoon en diere rondom die huis.

'n Wonderlike bosveld wegbreek, baie bekostigbaar met al die nodige fasiliteite en meer.

Hierdie plek het ons verwagtinge oortref. Goed geleë in 'n pragtige bosveld omgewing. Heelwat wild gesien. Die huis is wonderlik ingerig met baie kuierareas. Die personeel is vriendelik en baie hulpvaardig. Ek beveel dit ten sterkste aan en sal beslis weer daar gaan kuier.

Verwagting oortref.

Ons was 'n groep vriende wat 'n mannenaweek gehad het en almal was baie tevrede met geriewe swembad Jacuzzi en 2 lapas. Werklik goeie waarde vir geld met baie vriendelike ontvangs en diens. Sal definitief weer hier stop! Die pad op pad is minder ideaal maar met 'n bakkie of SUV is dit nie 'n probleem nie. Dit is nie 'n probleem met 'n kar nie maar grondpad skud maar net bietjie meer as gewone grondpaaie. Ek gee alles 5 ster met inagneming van die prys. Dankie vir 'n lekker naweek!

Exceeded expectations.

We were a group of friends on a men's weekend away and everyone was very satisfied with the facilities: swimming pool, Jacuzzi and 2 lapas. Really good value for money with very friendly reception and service. Would definitely stop here again! The road on the way there is less than ideal, but with a bakkie or a SUV, it isn't a problem. It also isn't a problem with a normal car, other than the vehicle shaking a bit. I would give everything a 5 star grading taking the price into consideration. Thanks for a great weekend!

Value for money.

What a lovely, quite and peaceful place, the kitchen needs a proper spring clean. All crockery, utensils, glass wear, pots and pans dirty and sticky. Maybe a good spring clean through in out the main house (bathrooms), will do the world of good. Koos, what a wonderful, friendly host, always busy in and around the premises, took us for a drive and showed us the other camps and game. Other than that, we had an enjoyable stay even Chaka the friendly dog was friendly. Many thanks.

Baie rustig en pragtig!

Thabo Tholo is is 'n heerlik plek om by te gaan rus en nuwe kragte op te bou. Koos en Shorty was die heeltyd beskikbaar om ons te help. Die plek word vreeslik mooi versorg, alles was skoon en netjies. Beddegoed was van hoë kwaliteit en die huis is pragtig en smaakvol gemeubileerd. Ons gaan beslis weer daar kuier!

Quiet environment but not worth the money.

It was wonderfully private and the setting is beautiful but the house is dirty. You are too afraid to turn on a light switch because then you have to deal with the fly mist. People should not confuse it with Thaba Tholo itself, it is a whole "neighbourhood". It is only the farm we discussed that is under discussion here.
