Kalmeerend maar tog asemrowend.

Wonderlike plek met uitstekende uitsigte en 'n perfekte plek vir 'n groep mense om uit die stad uit te ontsnap vir 'n ontspan kans.

Wonderful place with excellent views and a perfect place for a group of people to escape from the city for a relaxing chance.

Outstanding!

From being blown away by the views on arrival to our unhappy departure (we wanted to stay for much longer), The View in Mabalingwe could not have been more perfect! Everything was wonderful and the experience of having various species of wildlife literally on our stoep was pure bliss! Thank you, we cannot wait to return!

Heerlike naweek in die bos.

The View het ons verwagtinge oortref met 'n heerlike toegeruste huis op 'n pragtige ligging. Die kinders het die wild wat kom kuier vreeslik geniet en die ouers het te lekker gekuier by die Boma. Ek sal The View vir enige iemand aanbeveel en kan nie wag om weer daar te gaan ontspan nie!

The View exceeded our expectations with a delightfully equipped home in a beautiful location. The children really enjoyed the wildlife that came to visit and the parents had a great time at the Boma. I would recommend The View to anyone and can't wait to relax there again!

The view bied die perfekte kombinasie van bos en gerief.

Ons het uit Kanada kom kuier en die bos vreeslik gemis. The view was die perfekte keuse met 'n asemrowende uitsig en diere wat tot teen die huis kom. Ons klein kindertjies het die ervaring vreeslik geniet en ons sal dit vir seker aanbeveel.

Awesome.

Fantastic view and excellent venue. Friendly and helpful host. Would go again. Rated 5* but actually 4.5 as interior needs facelift (couch) and white towels and vanity kits would put it in the category of other 5* places I have stayed in. Having said that, it's an extremely special place that was a privilege to stay in! Would recommend not coming with a low slung car to achieve the best the resort has to offer and bring mountain bikes if possible. We did manage with our sedan to get to the house easily enough. I hope to be back one day. A special place. Don't hesitate booking.

Memorable, relaxing, beautiful, special.

A memorable weekend with family. We had multiple animals visit us at the chalet, the pool was a lifesaver. The view was incredible and took the pressure off to have to go on a drive to enjoy the bushveld. The air conditioners in the two bottom rooms were great as we had a very hot weekend. There are roof fans as well. Load shedding wasn't too bad (Elandsfontein 16, Bela-Bela), and they have a little kettle available and some battery lights.

Value for money, well equipped and beautiful site.

Was a lovely stay, beautiful view, the short gravel section was a bit of a challenge with non-4x4 low cars. It needs a bit of work to flatten. Otherwise, we really enjoyed the venue, and the splash pool was an added bonus. The daily cleaner and the braai cleaner were the friendliest of staff and very efficient and helpful. Just a pity about the Eskom power problem over and above load shedding, an area fault not the site.

Die ligging en uitsig is kos vir die siel.

Die stoep en uitsig was die hoogtepunt. Hoewel baie klein, het die kinders die plasbad baie geniet. Die kombuis is baie goed uitgerus. Die bed en banke was nie gemaklik vir 'n seergereg nie, maar die stoepmeubels was gerieflik. Skoonmaakdienste was baie vriendelik. Ons het heerlik ontspan.

The location and view are food for the soul.

The porch and view were the highlight. Although very small, the children really enjoyed the wading pool. The kitchen is very well equipped. The bed and sofas were not comfortable for a sick dish, but the patio furniture was comfortable. Cleaning services were very friendly. We had a great time relaxing.

So lekker gerus. Die tyd het net heeltemal te vinnig verbygegaan!

Deur en deur die moeite werd. Onverbeterlike uitsig. Smaakvol toegerus. Bad met uitsig is 'n wenner. Alles wat jy nodig het is daar. Genoeg ruimtes vir elkeen se behoeftes. Opwindend om verskeidenheid diere en voëls van so naby waar te neem. Ons het selfs die buitestort en die silwerskoon plonspoel in die middel van die winter getrotseer. Ons vertel vir almal van julle juweel in die bosveld en sal verseker terug wees.

Thoroughly worth it. Unbeatable view. Tastefully furnished. Bath with a view is a winner. Everything you need is there. Enough spaces for everyone's needs. Exciting to observe variety of animals and birds from so close. We even braved the outdoor shower and the sparkling plunge pool in the middle of winter. We are telling everyone about your gem in the bush and will be back for sure.

Wonderlike ervaring, prentjie mooi.

Dis 'n pragtige eenheid met 'n vreeslike mooi uitsig oor die dam. Mens hoor duidelik die leeus in hulle kamp en die seekoei in die dam voor jou. Daar is redelik baie wild wat ook om die eenheid beweeg het. Ons het ook die geleentheid gehad om die ystervark te sien een aand. Baie goed toegerus vir loadshedding ook! Sal net voorstel dat die skoonmaakster net meer deeglik kyk en seker maak as sy die eenheid verlaat dat alles weer toe en gesluit is. Ons was verras met bobbejane wat al ons kos gesteel en geplunder het.

Wonderful experience, beautiful picture.

It's a beautiful unit with a very nice view of the dam. You can clearly hear the lions in their camp and the manatee in the pond in front of you. There is quite a lot of wildlife that has moved around the unit as well. We also had the opportunity to see the porcupine one evening. Very well equipped for loadshedding too! Would just suggest that the cleaning lady just looks more thoroughly and makes sure when she leaves the unit that everything is closed and locked again. We were surprised with baboons who stole and looted all our food.

Was lekker maar die beddens en banke kort aandag.

Die huis is pragtig en skoon. Maar die beddens is baie ongemaklik, die sitkamerstel is al hol gesit! Die eienaar moet asb. die gaste vroegtydig inlig van die predatorpark se tye en dae. Ons het dit misgeloop a.g.v. geen info. Rigtingaanwysing is goed. Maar die huis is definitief nie loopafstand van aktiwiteite by ontvangs nie! Daar is ongelooflik baie miere in die huis en kaste.

Was nice but the beds and couches need attention.

The house is beautiful and clean. But the beds are very uncomfortable, the lounge set is already hollowed out! The owner must informing the guests in advance of the predator park's times and days. We missed it because no info. Direction indication is good. But the house is definitely not walking distance from activities at reception! There are an incredible amount of ants in the house and cupboards.

Beautiful view but a little disappointed.

Once you get to the location, the view is incredible, and you will not be disappointed. The house itself is small, but well laid out. A few things that can be improved on: None of the bedrooms had bedside lamps, making it really difficult to see once you put the lights off. The bathroom/toilet mats were very dirty when we got there and not replaced, and after day 2, there was no spare toilet paper in the house. These are basics that should be standard. I did highlight this to our hostess on our departure, and she offered us a discount on our next stay. Unfortunately, there are so many options to stay that we will probably not be back.

Mooiste uitsig by luukse akkommodasie.

Die mooiste view met 'n luukse aanslag. Die eienaar was fantasties en jy het alles daar beskikbaar vir 'n wonderlike vakansie met 'n familie. Alles was uitstekend opgepas en jy het ook twee areas gehad om die aande te braai met 'n verskriklik oulike splash pool met 'n uitsig op die dam. Die enigste aanbeveling wat ons sal maak is om WiFi by die eenheid te kry. Die selfoonsein was bitter sleg en dit was moeilik om te kommunikeer met vriende en familie.

Most beautiful view at luxury accommodation.

The most beautiful view with a luxurious touch. The owner was fantastic and you have everything available there for a great holiday with a family. Everything was excellently looked after and you also had two areas to barbecue in the evenings with a really cool splash pool with a view of the pond. The only recommendation we would make is to get WiFi at the unit. The cell phone signal was very bad and it was difficult to communicate with friends and family.

Fantasties, privaat, gerieflik.

Ons het die langnaweek baie geniet. Alles het gewerk en niks was 'n probleem nie. Die skoonmaakdiens was 'n groot pluspunt. Lekker op die stoep die uitsig bewonder. Bokke en vlakvarke het kom kuier. Leeus gehoor elke oggend en aand. Michelle, die eienaar, was baie vriendelik en het ons mooi gehelp met padaanwysings. Mabalingwe is groot. Sal enige tyd weer by The View gaan bly.

Die beste waarde vir geld!

Skoon en netjies. Groot 5 gesien. Mooier as in foto's. Was erg verras, alles was perfek! Sal miskien net paar sonpanele voorstel vir die toekoms, veral vir gaste van oorsee wie Eskom nog nie verstaan nie. Daar was 'n onverwagte persoon wie krag gaan lees het, hy kon ons miskien net by hek gewaarsku het, nogals geskrik toe persoon net skielik daar staan. Niks om oor te kla nie, net voorstel.

The best value for money!

Clean and tidy. Big 5 seen. More beautiful than in photos. Was very surprised, everything was perfect! Will maybe just suggest some solar panels for the future, especially for guests from overseas who don't understand Eskom yet. There was an unexpected person who went to read power, maybe he could have just warned us at the gate, quite startled when that person just suddenly stood there. Nothing to complain about, just suggestion.

Stunning getaway, breathtaking view.

It's clear to see why it is called The View - the view honestly cannot be beaten. We absolutely loved our time here. The house was spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped - there was nothing that we needed and couldn't find. We also really appreciated the emergency lighting for loadshedding, that was very handy. The sleeping arrangements were perfect for our family and my teenage daughters loved the loft. In the evenings we would sit on the patio or around the fire and listen to the sounds of the hippos and the lions - it was incredible. We did our own game drives around the park and we had epic sightings. We can't wait to come back - we'll definitely return.

We had a wonderful stay at The View. The unit was exceptional; it was clean, neat, and well maintained. The kitchen was very well equipped. Each room, including bathrooms, has a battery-operated light for loadshedding. The buck, warthog and other small game come right up to the house, in the evenings you can hear hippos at the waterhole and lions from the nearby lion camp.

We loved staying at the view. From the welcome committee of kudu and warthogs, to the goodnight and early morning roar of the lions we had a great time. The house was beautifully decorated with every single attention to detail thought of. The views from every space was spectacular. The plunge pool was a real luxury. I can highly recommend this property. We cannot wait to visit again.

Beautifully situated and clean house with all amenities needed and a splash pool with a view.

The View is one of the best I have stayed in Mabalingwe with fish eagle and hippo noises in the morning. You can also hear the roar of the lion from the house. The game drive was very well done and managed to see Elephant, Rhino and Buffalos. On the downside, the Mabalingwe entrance needs a clean up as there is rubble close to the horse stables and the restaurant is in desperate need of a chef.

It was a wonderful, peaceful stay for our family - perfect position above the dams.

We had loadshedding during our stay, including at night, and fortunately, we had brought candles and a battery light with us - the owner needs to supply those in the house. Also, we had no water during loadshedding - that needs to be communicated.

Great value for money! Perfect for nature lovers!

My wife and I recently stayed in The View Lodge with a friend. The layout of the lodge provides enough privacy but is also built in such a way that encourages long hours of relaxation and chats around the patio table next to the braai or around the boma fire. The owners provide all the information you need to have a wonderful experience and Michelle is a splendid host! The kitchen has everything you need and more. What a relief to find the hot flask and cups perfect for coffee on your early morning game drive! We loved the spectacular views and waking up to calls of the resident Fish Eagles. The animals visiting the lodge on daily basis kept us thoroughly entertained! We wished we could stay longer!

Verkwikkend en werklik ontspannend.

The View het, soos die naam suggereer, 'n wonderlike uitsig oor die vallei en dit is skaars nodig om die gerieflike huis te verlaat om ten volle te ontspan en uit te rus. Ontbyt op die groot stoep, of skemerkelkies in die klein swembad bied beide 'n wonderlike uitsig om die dag tegemoet te gaan of die aande te groet. Fantastiese ligging, skaars 90 minute van Pretoria af.

Invigorating and truly relaxing.

The View, as the name suggests, has a wonderful view of the valley and there is hardly any need to leave the comfortable home to fully relax and rest. Breakfast on the large veranda, or cocktails in the small pool both offer a wonderful view to face the day or greet the evenings. Fantastic location, barely 90 minutes from Pretoria.

Pragtige uitsig in goed toegruste huis.

Soos die naam dit beskryf het hierdie huis 'n pragtige uitsig waaraan mens jou elke keer verwonder. Die eiendom verleen privaatheid en stilte alhoewel dit naby aan ander eenhede is. Mens beleef 'n gevoel van veiligheid. Die privaat swembadjie is 'n groot bederf sowel as die bokkies en ander diere wat die heeltyd rondom die eenheid beweeg. Die eenheid is goed toegerus met alles wat nodig is om mens se verblyf gemaklik te maak. Michelle het vooraf baie inligting aan ons verskaf en ons het dit baie waardeer. Ons sal vir seker weer by The View gaan kuier.

Beautiful view in well equipped house.

As the name describes, this house has a beautiful view that amazes you every time. The property affords privacy and quiet even though it is close to other units. One experiences a feeling of security. The private swimming pool is a great treat as well as the goats and other animals that move around the unit all the time. The unit is well equipped with everything needed to make one's stay comfortable. Michelle provided us with a lot of information beforehand and we really appreciated it. We will definitely visit The View again.

Pragtige uitsig. Netjiese verblyf.

Die verblyf was baie lekker en aangenaam met pragtige ligging en uitkyk! Die enigste terugvoer wat ek voel wel van waarde sal wees is as julle dalk groot asseblief kon aandui dat slaapkamer 3 'n loft is. Ons was eintlik opsoek na 'n blyplek waar die al die slaapkamers nie een van hulle 'n loft was nie, en dit word nêrens aangedui in die foto's of beskrywing nie. Dit kan veral 'n probleem wees as al 3 paartjies klein kinders/baba het.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Beautiful view. Neat accommodation.

The stay was very nice and pleasant with a beautiful location and view! The only feedback I feel would be of value is if you could please indicate that bedroom 3 is a loft. We were actually looking for a place to stay where none of the bedrooms was a loft, and this is not indicated anywhere in the photos or description. This can be especially a problem if all 3 couples have small children/babies.

Pragtige uitsig!

Ons het baie lekker gekuier by The View in Mabalingwe, die swembad, grasperk, stoep en boma is baie spesiaal. Ons het baie diere kon sien vanaf die stoep. Die visarende, seekoeie, ystervarke, kudu's, vlakvarke het ons besig gehou vir meeste van ons besoek. Dankie ook vir die vriendelike diens en ondersteuning deur Michelle.

Huis is baie klein vir 8 gaste en ons was slegs ses. Huis kan beslis aircons inkry vir prys per nag. Waaier in loft het geraas en dit was verwoed warm. Netjiese eenheid. Pragtige ligging. Ek sal huis aanbeveel vir kleiner groep gaste en as huis aircons inkry.

The View se ligging is perfek en voel of jy op jou eie wildsplaas kuier. Skoon, netjies en goed ingerig.

Was regtig 'n besonderse naweek saam vriende en met ons klein kinders. Pragtige uitsig met die seekoeie wat jy kan hoor speel in die water en die leeus wat brul in die park. Die olifante was die grootste bederf toe hulle die Saterdagaand kom water drink het, letterlik 5 m van ons af. Naweek was onvergeetlik.

The View's location is perfect and feels like you are visiting your own game farm. Clean, tidy and well appointed.

Was really a special weekend with friends and with our small children. Beautiful view with the manatees you can hear playing in the water and the lions roaring in the park. The elephants were the biggest treat when they came to drink water on the Saturday evening, literally 5 m from us. Weekend was unforgettable.

Pragtige huis met uitsonderlike ligging in 'n oord wat baie bied aan die natuurliefhebber.

Die voélgeluide, veral die roep van die Visarend en diere wat feitlik tot by die huis kom kuier, was 'n spesiale ervaring. Die seekoeie was sigbaar en hoorbaar in die dam baie naby en snags kon selfs leeus gehoor word. Pragtige, gerieflike, goed toegeruste huis!

Beautiful house with exceptional location in a resort that has a lot to offer the nature lover.

A little piece of heaven in the bush

'The View' certainly lives up to its name with beautiful views over the dam and bush. The unit is very comfortable, well furnished, clean and has everything you need for a relaxing time in the bush. The little splash pool is a stunning addition and it's really nice that you don't have to pack up everything and go to the main pools to cool down. The Boma area is fantastic as well as the dining area on the patio. The location in the reserve I can only think must be one of the best. We saw so much from the patio daily and had visitors to the unit often which included warthog, kudu, monkeys and a variety of birds. Seeing, and hearing the Fish Eagle and the Vultures was a daily highlight as well as hearing the lions roar in the morning and evening was incredible. We were also lucky enough to hear elephants trumpeting in the night near the dam, view a thunderstorm from the unit, whilst the night sky was lit up by lightning over the bush. Michelle, the owner, was so friendly and provided all the information we needed and responded patiently to all our questions. Thank you for the hospitality and our family will definitely visit 'The View' again.

Beautiful views, lovely house. Animals can be seen at the dam from the deck. Only downside was the house was not that clean and house keeping lady didn't have the necessary cleaning materials to service the house when she did come.

House and views were spectacular however not very clean. Bathrooms and floors were a bit suspect. Furthermore there wasn't any washing up liquid, or disinfection spray to clean any surface. Towel and bath mats looked used and not clean prior to our arrival. Disappointing as location and view were spectacular.

Asemrowende uitsig en heerlik verblyf.

Het 'n fantasies tyd gehad by the View in Mabalingwe. Die eenheid is toegerus met alles wat mens nodig het en die ligging van die eenheid met sy swembad was uit die boonste rakke.

Fabulous setting, very clean house.

We spent three nights in The View with family visiting from the UK. They were speechless with the house and views over the dam. The View truly has the right name. All the arrangements went exactly to plan. We will definitely be booking The View again.

The View in Mabalingwe 's response

Dear Paul.
I am so glad you enjoyed it at The View. And that you could show off our lovely South African bush to your family from the UK. The View is just the place for a special bush experience. You were lovely guests and it was a pleasure having you there.
We look forward to seeing you again.
Kind regards
Michelle

Relaxing.

The stay was great. Main bedroom bed just too hard to sleep on. Otherwise everything else was great.

The View in Mabalingwe 's response

Hi MN,
We are glad you enjoyed your stay at The View. Sorry that the bed wasn't to your liking, it is a new bed with a high-density foam mattress.
However, I am glad you enjoyed everything else. Hope we see you again soon.

Baie gerieflik, maar dis baie klein. Klank trek deur die huis en daar is geen privaatheid waar ook al jy is.

Perfekte wegbreek in perfekte huis!

Ons is verwelkom met 'n lewendige potplant op die groot en ruim stoep. Die huis is groot en ruim, smaakvol gemeubileer met 'n asemrowende uitsig. Daar is oorgenoeg eetgerei .glase, bekers en bakke. Ons het heerlik gekuier op die groot dek by die plonspoel en saans tot laat in die lapa gekuier. Michelle is die perfekte gasvrou wat ons van ontvangs af aan laat tuis voel het met haar persoonlike aandag. Die sepies, handewasseep en handeroom en lyfwas en lyfroompies was 'n bonus. Die daaglikse besoeke van die vlakvark, bosvarke, muskejaatkatte, tarentale en fisante was 'n heerlike bonus. Ek beveel The View enige tyd aan en ons sal beslis weer daar gaan bly. Baie dankie Michelle. Jy is 'n ster. Ons het elke oomblik van ons tyd daar terdeë geniet.

Perfect getaway in perfect home!

We were welcomed with a live potted plant on the large and spacious porch. The house is large and spacious, tastefully furnished with a breathtaking view. There is plenty of cutlery, glasses, mugs and bowls. We had a great time on the big deck by the splash pool and hung out in the lapa until late at night. Michelle is the perfect hostess who made us feel at home from reception with her personal attention. The soaps, hand wash soap and hand cream and body wash and body creams were a bonus. The daily visits of the warthog, wild boar, muskrats, guinea fowl and pheasants were a delightful bonus. I recommend The View anytime and we will definitely stay there again. Thank you very much Michelle. You are a star. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our time there.

Overall a good experience.

We went to The View with two families. We found that there was enough space for us, however there were two very small children. I would say max, it should be a 6 sleeper. We enjoyed the location in the bush and it was quite safe. The cleaners should come to clean at least twice a day for so many people. We would use the dishes at night, then have nothing to use in the morning for a cooked breakfast. All in all, it was very good and we all enjoyed ourselves.

The View in Mabalingwe 's response

Hi Cathy.
Thank you for your review
I am glad your overall experience at the View was good and that you enjoyed your stay.
We advertise it as an 8 sleeper but emphasize that it is for 6 adults and 2 children
I am sorry but all the cleaning companies in Mabalingwe only service the units once a day.
Hope we will see you again.
Kind regards,
Michelle
