We escaped from the city's noise and had a great time!
The service was really of very good quality. Gertrude is a gem. The breakfast was delicious and the tranquility absolutely essential. We booked an hour massage on our own patio and it was heavenly! I will definitely go again if I get the chance.

The breakfast was wonderful.
For the value, they can renovate the shower or put in new floors. It's very slippery when you shower and maybe a TV would be good for all the cold rainy days if you want to stay inside and maybe darker curtains at the kitchen window.

Thank you Jolinda for your review. We are very relieved to have made it through COVID and happy to be doing what we love. We have found that 99% of guests do not want TV's, but prefer the wifi installed to make use of their own devices. We are glad to be able to offer them wifi rather, this is the new travel trend requirement.
Hooray for the lekker breakfast feedback.
Thank you for the curtain tip.
I do hope there is good news about your doggie.

We will definitely go to Thulamela Bed and Breakfast again. As exclusive lodge managers, we are familiar with what services should entail. Penny and her team are a wonderful example of hospitality and everything that goes with it. The roses, rose petals everywhere and the small, fresh bouquets in the trees all along the paths make you feel at home and welcome. The breakfast was delicious and every morning you wonder what will be in the gift package. Can definitely recommend. Very private.

Terribly romantic. The owner and her team were very friendly and we had a great stay. All that bothered me a bit was the light in the unit - it was very bad, especially for people who want to do make-up for a night out. The shower also has the funniest plastic on the floor - very slippery and you can get hurt quickly. Other than that, the accommodation and food were delicious!

Fantastic stay, strange reception.
Unfortunately we were received very sarcastically and inappropriately, because I forgot that the gate's code had already been sent to me after which I called reception to open for us (number as indicated on Thulamela's gate). Unfortunately, this put a damper on the beautiful rose petals that were scattered for us to our place in celebration of our wedding anniversary. Otherwise, the accommodation was very neat and private. The hot tub on the porch with the forest feel of the forest around you was wonderful.

Unforgettable!
Penny is a lovely person and a fantastic hostess! She immediately made us feel welcome. There were rose petals on the route to the log cabin, around the Jacuzzi and in front of the bed, as well as fresh flowers on the table and cherries around the Jacuzzi. It is for sure the ideal place for a romantic getaway! The breakfast was heavenly and unique. We got something different every morning. The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make our time at Thulamela unforgettable. Thank you so much Penny and the rest of your team - you will definitely see us again.

Penny made us feel so welcome and explained where we could go for sightseeing and places to eat - who wants to walk around when you stay here. Wonderful, romantic, peaceful. Ideal to refresh the marriage and just be a little alone from all the hustle and bustle. Nature is beautifully green and the birds provide the background music. Feeling at home in a neat, clean wooden house, fridge packed with all the necessary caps, fresh roses and rose petals on your route home, foot scrubbers etc. And of course the Jacuzzi with cherries - oh I'm already longing to go back. Delicious breakfast brought by friendly professional staff - had a lovely weekend.

Uniqueness makes you feel extra special.
Thulamela is definitely a unique, peaceful and romantic destination. Even though there is a lot to do in the surroundings, a sundowner in the Jacuzzi at Thulamela still remains the highlight of every day. Excellent service, excellent meals, incredibly neat and clean - everything you want for a getaway break and more!

Great pampering weekend.
The weekend was a great treat with delicious meals, beautiful scenery and relaxing times in the spa. The noise from the road and surrounding residential areas was a little disturbing at times - but nothing that the spa's bubbles couldn't drown out!

Excellent romantic spot that has the "personal touch".
Lovely and very romantic if that was the idea. It is 100% private and very cuddly. The spa bath on the deck is ideal for quality time with your loved one. (Although the evenings may be cold, the water gets deliciously warm.) I would definitely recommend it to any couple. It is also close enough to Sabie and Graskop for day trips.

We were incredibly impressed and pleasantly surprised with Thulamela. There was no TV, no radio, just total peace, just the calls of birds. The meals were impressive, the service was also excellent. Candlelight, rose petals and an incredible view will definitely make me return to Thulamela. Total privacy between units also makes it extra special. Truly the ideal spot for a getaway. Was lovely to relax there. Would definitely recommend Thulamela.

A paradise for bird watchers..we had 'first sightings' of quite a few species. The location is such that we could look up all the special places in the Lowveld. This is a winning recipe: finishing touches, beautiful linen, a bush of roses, a barbecue place, good coffee......add to that silence, natural beauty and seclusion - go and experience it!
