Dankie dat julle ons op die laaste nippertjie kon help met verblyf, asook om ons die laat inboek tyd tegemoet te kom.

Was baie lekker bosveld gevoel! Gaan beslis in die toekoms weer gebruik.

Die verblyf en fasiliteite was bakgat. Die buurman het ongelukkig tydige en ontydig gerook wat sleg was. Dis egter buite die beheer van die verblyfplek.

Was a very nice woodland feeling! Will definitely use again in the future.

The accommodation and facilities were superb. The neighbor unfortunately smoked timely and untimely which was bad. However, it is beyond the control of the accommodation.

Netjies en skoon, puik kliëntediens!

Die eienaars en bestuurder van Thorntree Lodge was uiters vriendelik en baie tegemoetkomend teenoor ons behoeftes. Die aard van ons besoek het ons verblyf baie onvoorspelbaar gemaak, maar niks was vir Thorntree Lodge te ongerieflik of te veel moeite nie en hulle het ons in alles geakkommodeer. Welgedaan en baie dankie!

Well done and thank you very much!

Het heerlike gebly, geslaap, baie netjies. Die grondpad van ± 1km kort net bietjie aandag.

Ons het heerlik gebly, ons kar is net baie laag, so die grondpad was nie ideaal nie. Veral as jy moet in en uitry nie. Ek stel voor die grondpad word bietjie geskraap en opgeknap dan sal baie meer mense daar bespreek.

Skoon en netjies, vriendelike personeel en al die basiese geriewe vir een nag se verblyf. Vanweë 'n baie rowwe grondpad, is toegang tot die lodge moeilik.

Die grondpad is nie goed onderhou nie en meeste voertuie sou nie dit kon aan pak nie.

Clean and tidy, friendly staff and all the basic amenities for one night's stay. Due to a very rough dirt road, access to the lodge is difficult.

Verrassend landelik, so naby die dorp.

Die kamer was netjies en skoon, met genoeg handdoeke en 'n welkom-sjokolade op die bed. Daar is 'n ketel en koffiemaak-tafel in die kamer, en daar was ook later in die middag beskuit vir ons gelos. Die gemeenskaplike kombuis en eetkamer was egter vuil, onnet en vol sigaretstompies. Om die mikrogolf te gebruik moet jy die rook-stank trotseer. Ongelukkig oorskadu dit die rus en vrede van 'n oornag-plek waar ons selfs 2 wilde hase van ons stoep af kon dophou en die genot wat ons gehad het om al die voëls in die doringbome te sien en hoor. Met die grondpaaie en al die reën was ons bly ons het met 'n 4x4 gegaan.

Surprisingly rural, so close to town.

The room was neat and clean, with enough towels and a welcome chocolate on the bed. There is a kettle and coffee-making table in the room, and there were also biscuits left for us later in the afternoon. However, the common kitchen and dining room were dirty, untidy and full of cigarette butts. To use the microwave you have to brave the smell of smoke. Unfortunately, it overshadows the peace and quiet of an overnight stay where we could even watch 2 wild rabbits from our porch and the enjoyment we had of seeing and hearing all the birds in the thorn trees. With the dirt roads and all the rain we were glad we went with a 4x4.

Kamer smaakvol gemeubileerd. Badkamer ruim en meer as genoeg handdoeke voorsien. Tee- en koffiemaakgeriewe in kamers met beskuit was 'n treffer. Kombuis lekker ruim met baie kuierplek. Ek kon nie fout vind met enige iets nie. Tien uit tien.

Plaas naby die dorp.

Ek en my gesin was aangenaam verras met Thorntree Lodge. Die kamers was ruim en gemaklik en die braai- en kombuisgeriewe was skoon en voldoende vir die voorbereiding van 'n genotvolle aandete en ontbyt. Die lodge het 'n plaasatmosfeer maar is steeds 'n gemaklike afstand van die dorp. Dankie vir 'n wonderlike ervaring.

Naby genoeg aan Potch om vinnig in te skiet, ver genoeg om stilte van die veld te kan waardeer.

Die ligging van hierdie plek kan nie geklop word nie. Rustig in die veld, maar slegs 'n paar km van die universiteit af. Die lodge is nog baie nuut, so daar is nog 'n paar stukkies onderhoudswerk wat raak gevat moet word. Ek glo dit sal vinnig gebeur. Jy moet deur 3 veiligheidshekke gaan om daar uit te kom. Ek was nie bewus daarvan nie en die kode om in te kom was nie aan my verskaf nie. Dit het dit nogal ongemaklik gemaak, so maak seker jy kry die kode vir die hekke voor jy daar opdaag. Dit is 'n grondpad vir die laaste km na die lodge toe. Ek ry ’n Golf VI en het op meer as een plek op die middelman geskuur. Ek stel voor dat jy met 'n voertuig gaan wat effens meer ryhoogte het as 'n golfie. Die kamers is baie netjies skoon en keurig gemeubileerd. Daar is 'n gesamentlike kombuis en braaiplek. Dit het alles wat mens nodig het. Daar is ook 'n yskas met 'n groterige vriesafdeling in die kombuis. Die buitenste dekor in die tuintjie gaan nie almal se "cup of tea" wees nie, maar dit is seker maar die lodge se keuse.

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

Close enough to Potch to shoot in quickly, far enough to appreciate the silence of the field.

The location of this place cannot be beat. Quiet in the countryside, but only a few km from the university. The lodge is still very new, so there are still a few bits of maintenance that need to be addressed. I believe it will happen quickly. You have to go through 3 security gates to get out. I was not aware of that and the code to enter was not provided to me. This made it quite awkward, so make sure you get the code for the gates before you get there. It is a dirt road for the last km to the lodge. I drive a Golf VI and have rubbed the middle man in more than one place. I suggest you go with a vehicle that has slightly more ride height than a Golf. The rooms are very neat, clean and nicely furnished. There is a shared kitchen and barbecue area. It has everything one needs. There is also a fridge with a larger freezer section in the kitchen. The outer decor in the little garden is not going to be everyone's "cup of tea", but it is probably the lodge's choice.

Vinnige besoekie aan hierdie plekkie in 'n tipiese "bosveldatmosfeer" is net die regte ding vir 'n dorpsjapie uit Gauteng.

Thorntree Lodge is geleë in 'n klein paradysie, 'n hanetree uit die dorp. Die Bosveldatmosfeer het my bekoor en ver weg van die stad se gedruis met sy sorge laat voel. Die kamer is baie netjies en ideaal vir iemand wat 'n lekker oorslaapplek nodig het. Die gasheer en sy vrou is vriendelik en het die ekstra myl geloop om seker te maak dat alles gerieflik en reg is. Baie dankie vir 'n heerlike wegbreek in die bosse.

Thorntree Lodge is located in a small paradise, just outside town. The bushveld atmosphere was magical and far away from the city's hustle and bustle. The room is clean and ideal for someone looking for a nice stopover. The host and his wife is friendly and walked the extra myle to make sure everything is right and comfortable. Thank you for a lovely getaway in the bushes.

Daai is 'n naweek wegbreek. Baie nice en rustig.

Was 'n heerlike plek om te oornag. Omdat dit 'n plaas is, is die toegang bietjie moeilik, veral sou dit 'n vrou wees. Maar dis mooi rustig en veilig.

Baie minder as verwag.

Met my aankoms is ek meegedeel dat my kamer steeds vuil was, en dat ek 'n ander kamer kan kies (die vorige persoon is reeds die vorige dag uit, so daar was oorgenoeg tyd om dit te kon regstel). Daar was geen kamer met 'n dubbelbed beskikbaar nie. Toe ek later met die bestuurderes praat, was haar woorde "Ons gee maar gewoonlik die enkelbedkamers vir enkel persone", ten spyte daarvan dat ek 'n dubbelbed bespreek het, en het uit haar houding dit duidelik gemaak dat my problem haar nie aanstaan nie. Die kamers is baie klein, en alhoewel daar 'n klein tafeltjie is, is daar is geen stoele nie. Dus is die enigste opsie om op die bed te sit en werk. Daar is nie 'n boonste laken op die beddens nie, en slegs 'n baie dun duvet. Daar is komberse in die kas, maar die kamertjie was yskoud toe ek daar was, en dit was 'n baie koue nag. Die plek is redelik ver uit die dorp uit. Positiewe punte; hulle gee 'n boksie regte melk vir koffie en 'n botteltjie beskuit. Die stort het 'n ordentlike stortkop wat 'n lekker breë straal gooi. In geheel was ek baie teleurgesteld, en sal beslis nie weer daar bly nie. Thorntree Lodge sal waarskynlik beter klassifiseer word as 'n "backpackers", en beslis nie geskik as jy na 'n lang dag enige gemak verwag om jou verblyf bietjie meer huislik te maak nie.

Much less than expected.

Upon my arrival I was told that my room was still dirty, and that I could choose another room (the previous person had already checked out the day before, so there was plenty of time to fix it). There was no room with a double bed available. When I spoke to the managers later, her words were "We usually give the single bed rooms to single people", despite the fact that I had booked a double bed, and made it clear from her attitude that my problem was not her concern. The rooms are very small, and although there is a small table, there are no chairs. So the only option is to sit on the bed and work. There is no top sheet on the beds, and only a very thin duvet. There are blankets in the closet, but the little room was freezing cold when I was there, and it was a very cold night. The place is quite far out of town. Positive points; they give a box of real milk for coffee and a bottle of biscuits. The shower has a decent shower head that casts a nice wide jet. Overall I was very disappointed, and will definitely not stay there again. Thorntree Lodge would probably be better classified as a "backpackers", and certainly not suitable if you expect any comfort after a long day to make your stay a little more homely.

Die gasvrou, Rina het ons hartlik ontvang. Die ligging was perfek vir ons omdat dit 10 min vanaf die universiteit se hoofkampus is. Die eenhede was baie netjies en skoon. Ons het rustig geslaap en ons voertuig was baie veilig. Baie dankie Rina. O ja! Die koffie en veral die beskuit was heerlik.

Fantastiese verblyf. Stil en rustig en 'n klipgooi van Potch af.

Baie netjies en goed toegeruste verblyf. Baie naby aan Potch. Naby genoeg om te gaan inkopies doen en ver genoeg om die bosveld-atmosfeer te kan geniet. Dankie Tannie Rina en Oom dat julle ons so welkom laat voel het. Sal beslis julle venue vir mense aanbeveel... Lekker plek vir familiesaamtrek of vir 'n langnaweek weg as jy stilte vir jou siel nodig het.

Ideale wegbreek!

Wonderlike plek, met 'n lekker rustige atmosfeer - ideaal vir 'n wegbreek! Uitstekende waarde vir geld. Philip en Rina is werklik gasvry, het sommer dadelik tuis gevoel. Dankie vir 'n onvergeetlike naweek, sien jul definitief weer!

Awesome plek!

Ons was ses vriende vir 'n wegbreek-mannenaweek. Ons het 'n plekkie gesoek waar ons privaat as ou vriende kan kuier, rugby kyk en ontspan - weg van die stad se gejaag - êrens in die veld. Tannie Rina en Oom Philip was baie gasvry. Die kamers was bitter mooi en netjies. Die kombuis was vol toegerus, en die boma-vuurtjie het heeltyd gebrand. Die bokkies gee ook n aangename rustigheid aan die welkome atmosfeer. Ons het met die idee gegaan om ons jaarlikse mannenaweek daar te hou; en die lodge verlaat met die gedagte om mannenaweek op Thorntree 'n jaarlikse instelling te maak!

Awesome place!

We were six friends for a men's weekend getaway. We were looking for a place where we could hang out privately as old friends, watch rugby and relax - away from the hustle and bustle of the city - somewhere in the countryside. Aunt Rina and Uncle Philip were very hospitable. The rooms were very nice and tidy. The kitchen was fully equipped, and the boma fire was burning all the time. The goats also give a pleasant tranquility to the welcome atmosphere. We went with the idea of holding our annual men's weekend there; and left the lodge with the thought of making men's weekend at Thorntree an annual institution!

Fantasties!

Dit is die wonderlikste, rustigste en privaatste plek. Die gasvryheid wat ons beleef het was onbeskryflik. Die eienaars Rina en Philip is die oulikste mense en ek sal enige iemand aanbeveel om by Thorntree te gaan oornag of sommer 'n paar dae te bly. Thorntree sien ons beslis gou weer.

Wat 'n aangename ervaring.

Lekker verblyf in die Bosveld, Thorntree definitief die regte naam vir die lodge. Rina en haar man het uit hulle pad gegaan om dit vir ons so gemaklik moontlik te maak om nie eers van die gasvryheid te praat nie. Definitief 'n plek waarheen ons sal terugkeer. Weereens baie dankie, Rina.

Die verblyf by Thorntree Lodge was baie gemaklik en beslis waarde vir geld.

Kamers is netjies en toegerus met alles wat jy benodig. Daar is selfs 'n groot gedeelde kombuis waar jy jou kos kan voorberei en vuurmaakplek as jy sou wou braai. Indien jy 'n plekkie soek om net weg te raak in die natuur is dit die regte plek vir jou. Alhoewel dit 3 km buite die dorp is was dit nie vir ons 'n probleem nie omdat ons verkies het om nie in die raserige dorp te wees nie.

The stay at Thorntree Lodge was very comfortable and definitely value for money.

Rooms are neat and equipped with everything you need. There is even a large shared kitchen where you can prepare your food and a fire place if you would like to barbecue. If you are looking for a place to just get lost in nature, this is the right place for you. Although it is 3 km outside the town it was not a problem for us as we preferred not to be in the noisy town.
