Bederf van die begin tot die einde.

As jy jouself wil bederf, kom spandeer 'n paar dae by Umbhaba Eco Lodge. Jy word op die hande gedra vanaf die oomblik wat jy daar arriveer tot jy weer met 'n swaar hart huis toe moet gaan. Baie dankie Freedom en jou span. Ons het 'n wonderlike tydjie by julle gehad.

Spoiled from start to finish.

If you want to pamper yourself, come and spend a few days at Umbhaba Eco Lodge. You are carried on the hands from the moment you arrive there until you have to go home again with a heavy heart. Thank you very much Freedom and your team. We had a wonderful time with you.

Puik, vriendelike en verwelkomende diens.

Op aankoms was almal baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Pragtige plek in die natuur en naby aan alles. Die kamers vir die prys was uitstekend, baie gemaklike bed en groot gerieflike kamer en stort. Die kelner by die eetplek was baie vriendelik en so ook die bestuurder. Kos was vreeslik lekker en baie groot porsies. Ontbyt was tops ongelooflik lekker en weer groot porsies. Sien uit om weer terug te wees!

On arrival everyone was very friendly and helpful. Beautiful place in nature and close to everything. The rooms for the price were excellent, very comfortable bed and large comfortable room and shower. The waiter at the diner was very friendly and so was the manager. Food was very tasty and very large portions. Breakfast was incredibly tasty and again large portions. Looking forward to being back again!

Beste, beste waarde vir geld.

Die personeel is vreeslik behulpsaam en vriendelik. Die restaurant se kos is ongelooflik en so bekostigbaar dat enige ander eetplek nie sal kan kers vaskou by die gehalte en porsies per prys nie. Ons gaan hierdie vir seker 'n jaarlikse instelling maak as egpaar.

The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. The restaurant's food is incredible and so affordable that any other eating place will not be able to match the quality and portions for the price. We are definitely going to make this an annual institution as a couple.

Baie aangename plek om te bly, mooi fasiliteite en als. Hul kan die ontbytspyskaart dalk bietjie afwissel.

Alles was goed en wel behalwe vir die feit dat daar ook 'n groterige groep mense daar was wat ander mense geen rus en vrede gegun het nie. Hulle het altwee nagte tot na middernag gegil en geskreeu. Kon nie beskaafd kommunikeer nie. Hul het hul nie veel aan die lodge se sekuriteit gesteur nie. Toe ek nie kon slaap nie, toe lees ek maar.

Very pleasant place to stay, nice facilities and all. They could perhaps vary the breakfast menu a bit.

All was well and good except for the fact that there was also a larger group of people there who did not give other people any peace and quiet. They screamed and screamed both nights until after midnight. Couldn't communicate civilly. They did not pay much attention to the lodge's security. When I couldn't sleep, I just read.

Lieflike akkomodasie! Was heerlik.

14 km buite die Krugerwildtuin, netjies, rustige omgewing en die kamers is pragtig ingerig. Ontbyt wat ingesluit is, was heerlik. Het dit regtig daar geniet. Die wyntjie langs die swembad en die lekker aandete ( vanaf 'n goeie spyskaart ) was ook lekker. Kan dit enige tyd aanbeveel. Ek gaan definitief weer en weer en weer soontoe!

Lovely accommodation! Was delicious.

14 km outside the Kruger National Park, neat, peaceful surroundings and the rooms are beautifully furnished. Breakfast that was included was delicious. Really enjoyed it there. The wine by the pool and the nice dinner (from a good menu) were also nice. Can recommend it anytime. I will definitely go there again and again and again!

Ons het net een nag oorgeslaap, sou graag langer wou bly om meer te verken.

Die plek is baie netjies. Bestuur het uit hulle pad gegaan om vir ons 'n ander, en beter, kamer te gee a.g.v. 'n probleem met die stort se uitloop.

Beautiful experience.

Everything else was exceptional including room service, would go back. Only thing that ended up irritating me was the security guy that now was making us uncomfortable by coming to our room more every 2 minutes telling us we are making noise even when we were talking with the conversation he couldn't even hear from outside, but overall stay was awesome. Clean accommodation, would definitely recommend the place and I would go back again.

Umbhaba Eco Lodge 's response

Baie dankie vir die terugvoering, sonder ons gaste se inset sal ons dit nie op standard kan hou nie.
Ons vra groot onverskooning as die bed vir ongelieflik en hard was, dit is nuwe beddens wat aan geksaf was onlangs en is nog nie baie gebruik nie.
Ons voel ook, en ek is seker u sal dit ook so verstaan en insien, dat die hard of sag van 'n bed 'n persoonlike voorkeur is.
Ons sal in kyk op die ongemaklike beddens.
Hoop ons sien julle weer in die toekoms.
Vriendelike groete
