Dit was 'n lekker kamp met gasvrye en opregte gesinsmense.

Die kampterrein was lekker weggesteek in die bos. Die sterre het ons vergesel. Die gasvryheid is verwelkomend en die mense hier het 'n hart vir hul medemens. Die natuur daar is verbasend en daar is baie aktiwiteite op die perseel. Kom vars die staproetes is lekker.

It was a nice camp with hospitable and genuine family people.

The campsite was nicely hidden in the woods. The stars accompanied us. The hospitality is welcoming and the people here have a heart for their fellow man. The nature there is amazing and there are many activities on site. Come fresh the hiking trails are nice.

Lekker plek!

Ons het in die Thwane Bush Camp tuisgegaan in 'n tent. Die tent het sy eie yskas gehad, asook 'n ketel, braaiplek en kombuisware. Ons het net opgedaag met hout, kos en klere. Die kinders het lekker geswem en ons kon rondstap. Die tent was knus en die beddens gemaklik. Ons het dit baie geniet!

Nice place!

We stayed in the Thwane Bush Camp in a tent. The tent had its own fridge, as well as a kettle, braai area and kitchenware. We just arrived with wood, food and clothes. The children had fun swimming and we were able to walk around. The tent was cozy and the beds comfortable. We enjoyed it very much!

Ongelukkig, nie waarde vir geld nie.

Tent was nie mooi skoongemaak nie. Spatsels teen die tent in die badkamer en spinnekopwebbe orals in die hoeke. Daar is nie gesê dat daar geen krag is nie. Daar is groot gate in die tent se deur en die zip het nie gewerk nie. Die volgende dag is dit nie skoongemaak nadat daar gesd is dat die verblyf elke dag skoongemaak word nie.

Unfortunately, not value for money.

Tent was not properly cleaned. Splashes against the tent in the bathroom and cobwebs everywhere in the corners. It was not said that there is no power. There are big holes in the tent door and the zip didn't work. The next day it was not cleaned after being told that the accommodation is cleaned every day.

Natuurlewe op sy beste - rustig.

Vriendelikste mense, sal beslis weer gaan. Tente is netjies, alle basiese kombuisgoedjies is tot jou beskiking. 'n Groter swembad sal nie 'n slegte idee wees nie. Regtig 'n belewenis. Kan nie wag om weer te gaan nie.

Great and relaxing stay

My partner and I visited the bush camp during new year's time and I can say that our stay was more than we expected. The host was great, very accommodating and a positive person that made the stay even warmer. The hike was superb, besides getting a little lost, with beautiful views and a calming environment. Advice would be to bring a lot of mosquito repellent, because those little critters were brutal. Other than that, it was a very clean and comforting time. A great place to unwind and get away from the city noise and technology.

Gerieflike keuse vir ons doel.

Die solar ligte het aanvanklik nie gewerk, maar is dadelik vervang en die lampie was nie gelaai nie. Dalk net aandag en toetsing nodig voor gaste arriveer. 'n Klein sakkie komplimentere hout sal die boservaring met aankoms in- groet. Staproete merkers afwesig van Nguni kamp. Vriendelike ontvangs en diens.

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

Convenient choice for our purpose.

The solar lights did not work at first, but were immediately replaced and the lamp was not charged. Maybe just needs attention and testing before guests arrive. A small bag of complimentary wood will greet the forest experience on arrival. Walking route markers absent from Nguni camp. Friendly reception and service.

Baie lekker rustig en weg van die stadsgewoel.

Baie lekker gekuier. Weg van alles soos ek dit wou hê. Hier kan jy lekker stap en net chill. Vat maar jou mier gif saam (hulle dra jou weg). As julle alleen in die kamp is, is die potte en panne genoeg (gemeenskaplike kombuis in lapa). Sal voorstel as jy meer wil hê as die broodnodigste basiese toerusting, bring maar jou eie saam. Veral DC beligting en 'n ketel vir die kole. Los maar jou lang slap Mercedes by die huis en pak jou bakkie, die pad is plaaspad! Sal beslis weer hier kom ontlaai van alles en weer moed skep vir die dag van môre.

Very nice and quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Had a great time. Away from everything as I wanted it. Here you can have a nice walk and just chill. Take your ant poison with you (they carry you away). If you are alone in the camp, the pots and pans are enough (communal kitchen in lapa). Would suggest if you want more than the bare essentials, bring your own. Especially DC lighting and a boiler for the coals. Just leave your long limp Mercedes at home and pack your bakkie, the road is a farm road! Will definitely come here again to unload everything and build courage for the day tomorrow.

Aangename kuier in 'n rustige omgewing.

Baie skoon en netjiese verblyf met behulpsame en vriendelike personeel, ideaal vir 'n rustige naweek in die bos. Daar is baie aktiwiteite in en om Parys deur die dag en brouerye, winkeltjies, restaurante en avontuuroorde is volop. In die aande is mens verantwoordelik vir jou eie vermaak, maar daar is niks soos 'n vuurtjie en goeie geselskap om die ure te laat verbyvlieg nie. Die pad in is klipperig, so ry maar stadig as jy met jou Polo opdaag.

Pleasant stay in peaceful surrounds.

Very clean and neat accommodation with helpful and friendly personnel. Ideal for a weekend in the bush. So many activities in and around Parys during the day, and breweries, shops, restaurants and adventure resorts abound. In the evenings you are responsible for your own entertainment, the perfect time for a fire and good company. The road is rocky, so just drive carefully if you have a Polo.

Verfrissend.

Ons was 'n groep van 13 mense en het baie lekker in die "hiker's camp" gebly en saam gekuier onder die lapa. Sal beslis dit aanbeveel as jy bietjie wil ontsnap in die bos in. Maak net seker jy het 'n kar wat 'n redelike slegte grondpad kan aandurf. Ons het onder andere 'n VW Polo soontoe gery en nogal gesukkel om daar uit te kom.

Refreshing.

We were a group of 13 people and had a great time staying in the "hiker's camp" and hanging out together under the lapa. Would definitely recommend if you want to escape into the woods. Just make sure you have a car that can handle a pretty bad dirt road. Among other things, we drove a VW Polo there and had quite a bit of trouble getting out.

Gemiddelde na swak plek.

Thwane Bush camp het swak ontvangs. Vir sy gaste. Baie van die fasiliteite is swak of bestaan nie. Daar was slegs een TV by hoofkamp en is deur personeel gebruik en kon nie deur die besoekers gebruik word nie. Staproete was lekker en interessant. Dit is baie stil en rustig.

Hallo Shawn,

Baie dankie vir jou terugvoer ons waardeer dit. Die ontvangs vir ons gaste was die Desember 'n probleem aangesien ons dame wat kliënte ontvang siek was en my manne die taak saam met hulle ander verpligtinge moes doen. Jammer vir die ongerief.

Ek sal die ander punte met my personeel opneem en bespreek. Ter inligting rakende die TV - die TV en hoofkamp is nie vir die gebruik van ander besoekers wat in ander kampe bespreek is nie.

Nie goed nie.

Ons het besluit om ons vakansie kort te knip. Ons was glad nie beïndruk nie - hier was miere orals, ons kon nie eers braai sonder miere nie en die kombuisgereedskap was vuil. Daar was ook motte in die yskas en ons kon nie die jelly wat ons die vorige aand gemaak het, eers geniet nie. Ons moes self die swembad skoonmaak en nadat ons gister 'n spinnekop binne die swembad gekry het - was dit die laaste strooi. Ons moes ook met ons aankoms aanhoor dat die wild maar skaars is omdat hier so 2 maande terug gejag was, buiten die skaars wild was daar ook vir ons gesê nie 4x4 wildtrokkie se gearbox het gegroet en sal ook nie daarmee kan wild gaan kyk nie. Met ons vertrek Donderdagoggend kon net een een van ons 2 gestort het - en ook net in koue water. Daar was daarna geen water in die pype vir tandeborsel of vir 'n 2de persoon om te stort nie. Hierdie was glad nie vir ons 'n plesier nie. Die pad is aaklig en ek beveel niemand met 'n gewone kar om daar te ry nie. Vir bakkies en 4x4 is die klipheuwel 'n vulletjie.

Not good.

We decided to cut our vacation short. We were not impressed at all - there were ants everywhere, we couldn't even barbecue without ants and the kitchen utensils were dirty. There were also moths in the fridge and we couldn't even enjoy the jelly we made the night before. We had to clean the pool ourselves and after finding a spider in the pool yesterday - that was the last straw. We also had to hear on our arrival that the game is rare because it was hunted here about 2 months ago, apart from the rare game we were also told that the gearbox of the 4x4 game truck did not say hello and would not be able to go game viewing with it. When we left on Thursday morning, only one of us could have showered - and only in cold water. After that there was no water in the pipes for brushing teeth or for a 2nd person to shower. This was not a pleasure for us at all. The road is horrible and I don't recommend anyone with a regular car to drive there. For vans and 4x4s, the stone hill is a place to be.

Thwane Bush Camp 's response

Thwane Bush Camp is presies wat die naam se, 'n boskamp. Die gaste wat ons kom besoek is juis die wat 'n plek soek om weg te kom van die stad en in die natuur tyd wil kom spandeer.

Ongelukkig is daar sekere dinge wat ons nie kan beheer nie, soos insekte, veld diere en reptiele. Hulle beweeg soos hulle geprogrammeer is en ons kan ongelukkig nie elke minuut gaan skoonmaak waar hulle beweeg of tot sterwe gekom het nie. Weens die droogte wat ons tans beleef is die miere ook meer aktief as normaal en is daar niks wat ons kan doen om hulle te beheer nie. Ons spuit geen gif nie omdat dit ons drinkwater kan besmet.

Die wild beweeg vrylik op die plaas en al word daar gejag sal hulle verseker nie almal op een plek bymekaar kom nie. Almal weet dit. Ons het ook lankal ons wildsritte gestop en dit is juis nie aangedui op Travelground of Lekker Slaap se webstuistes nie.

Dit is vir my jammer dat jy nie die tyd by ons geniet het nie, maar ek glo ook ons het alles gedoen om julle tyd by ons so aangenaam moontlik te maak, soos om inkopies namens jou te doen en vir jou aan te ry. Ons doen dit graag wanneer ons in die dorp is.

Vriendelike Groete

Stephan
