We just stayed the night after the day's work.
Braai area was convenient, owners are doing forest thinning and cutting grasses which makes people feel more safe. Towel rails can be added in the bathrooms. Personally, the forest camp is a preference for me.

Great getaway from the city. Beautiful surroundings.
The "family unit" is ideal for groups or family visits. Lapa with built-in braai and plenty of space to hang out is definitely a big plus. We really enjoyed the weekend in the forest.

Nice forest experience.
Apart from the fact that the chalet was not very clean and the mattress and washcloths were long past their expiry date, it was a nice forest break filled with peace and quiet. The chalet also had everything that was needed.

Disappointing.
I specifically looked for a place that has fishing facilities so that we as a family can just be comfortably close to each other and my children can fish without additional expense or effort. I can sit there and walk if I want, just comfortably bring them sandwiches and have a picnic by the river. On the website it indicates that there are opportunities for fishing and horse riding nearby. The river was overgrown due to the rain which was not indicated and so I have to take the children to Koster Dam every day at R40 entrance per person and therefore lost the whole idea of the break to spend time with them. My daughter and I don't want to spend the whole day at the pond and so they were apart from us for the whole day. The second thing is that the horse riding facility has closed which is also not indicated on the website, again I was very disappointed. The accommodation had a lot of ticks and my son and I both had to remove quite a few from ourselves. The power was down a lot, but that's out of their control so I understand but maybe they should consider purchasing a "generator". After the power was out all day, they offered us one candle. When we asked if we could get another one, they refused. There is no broom, so one cannot even sweep the place and I had to borrow one from the "caretaker" who was not very keen to give it to me. The place has potential, but it's very neglected.

It's really so peaceful, away from noise and hustle and bustle.
I really recommend Umbabala for the tranquility in nature. Johan was so hospitable and asked us what we wanted to do while we were there. For us it was to go nowhere and just relax. Johan said there is a lot to do in the area but we preferred to just be on the farm. The rondavels are so well equipped and there is everything you need. We went for walks to look for game and to look at nature. Umbabala is really value for money.

Perfect, just what we needed to blow off steam and experience the wonderful nature in its full glory!
We were very impressed with Umbabala Bush Camp! We were received by Johan and immediately felt at home. The chalet was beautiful and just what we needed. It is fully equipped with the necessary. The surrounding wildlife is breathtaking and creates an atmosphere of calm and tranquility. There were hiking trails to get a closer look at nature. It's close to surrounding nature reserves and Predator Parks. Lots to do and the kids will never be bored. My wife and I will definitely visit again. Thank you very much for an unforgettable weekend!

Definitely something for nature lovers.
We really enjoyed it. If you want to escape technology and the outside world, it's definitely the place to go. Johan was a wonderful host who greeted us friendly despite the fact that we arrived very late. The unit is very neat and definitely the first house with a thatched roof that I've seen that is so clean from top to bottom. Will definitely stay there again.

It was soul food the tranquility and silence there.
The only major problem was the fact that your map location and our GPS took us far from the actual location. The result was that we had to drive approximately 20 km further for the overnight accommodation and an additional 60 km from our overnight accommodation to our function on Saturday and back. It will need immediate attention.

It was peaceful, close to nature with all the amenities one needs.
Everything was neat and clean upon our arrival. Sufficient hot water is provided. The surroundings are picturesque and a walk in nature is just the thing to clear one's head. The togetherness around the snooker table and pool was nice and relaxing. We as a family thoroughly enjoyed the time together.

Fantasy environment, very relaxed atmosphere, friendly reception and safe environment.
It is the perfect place for people who want to relax in beautiful surroundings. The accommodations are not luxurious, but have everything you need to stay comfortably. Each spot is surrounded by trees so you are also quite private and not disturbed by other people. There are also roads where you can drive around with your vehicle and watch wildlife (4x4 or whatever vehicle). Johan, the owner, is also always available to help and is also very friendly himself. Lots to see and do in the area. In short, it's the perfect place to recharge your batteries and really relax.

Beautiful in the woods.
Coordinates were not correct. Landed in wrong place. Johan, the manager of Umbabala, gave me very good directions. The accommodation is clean, tidy and comfortable. The chalet is inside the forest and you cannot see your neighbour. Nature is amazing. Lovely to go for a walk on the roads in a unique environment. However, roads not suitable for driving with an ordinary car. Definitely need a vehicle with high ground clearance. Was a wonderful experience and can recommend Umbabala to nature lovers.

We had a great stay and rested. We were able to take our puppy with us, because the people who were supposed to look after her said at the last minute that they couldn't look after her anymore. Hospitality and service were very good; will go again and stay longer. Thank you very much for your good service, we will certainly use your service again.
