An outstanding stopover on the way back home.
A very neat place. The decor in the rooms is beautiful and the beds sleep wonderfully. Good pillows! The hostess is on her toes to do everything right. We didn't have the dinner, but we did have the breakfast, and it was top notch. I understand that it is ideal to sleep over there if the Addo Elephant Park is to be visited.

Extremely neat facilities and very quiet surroundings.
The accommodation of our family room was very neat and the breakfast was very good. Our optional dinner was also special and the scenery with giraffes something special. The pool was a relief after the long day on the road.

'n Klassieke geval van vakansiegangers uitbuiting, nie 4 ster nie! Bly weg!

A classic case of vacationer exploitation, not 4 star! Stay away!
I can't believe South Africans can be exploited like this! Double room - stay away! Book the Deluxe Double Room but receive the regular Double Room. Pay the same price. R1734 for the room for 2 persons per night. They state that it is a king size bed, but it is actually just two single beds side by side. Look at the picture of the room, that is exactly how big the room is. You have maybe half a meter on each side from the bed to the boundary walls of the room. If you stand in the middle of the bathroom, you can reach within arms length without stretching or stretching to touch the shower, toilet and sink. It's ridiculously tight. They say WiFi is available, note that it is only for 1 device per room. So if there are 2 people in the room, only 1 may be keyed to the WiFi. A 2 star lodge has better shower facilities than Valley Bushveld Country Lodge. There is no water pressure, and if any of the other guests use water in their rooms, the shower loses more pressure as well as water temperature. The Jacuzzi and pictures of the Jacuzzi made me change my decision from any other destination to stay there. When I got there they said, the Jacuzzi only works if there are no water restrictions. (But the pool is full.) It is not stated anywhere on the ad. This is a great attraction that they offer but hardly works. TV - This is an old box TV. Really? Are they still in the 1900s? DStv - Very few programs that are active to watch, and the programs that are active are programs that no one is watching. Common programs that are not active: MNet, Supersport, any news channels, KykNet. Table placement with dinner: There are not enough tables for the different rooms. Some of the guests had to sit at the table with strange people who were spending the night. No alternative option was proposed. Evening meal - Although optional, it costs R180 per person. It is the same price as a 5 star, very classy restaurant with a lot of status. The food was very good, but you can't spend R180 p.p. don't ask for that meal. And that doesn't include dessert. It is not worth a 4 star. And not according to the Tourism Grading Council either!

Hello Rouxan
Baie dankie vir jou terugvoer, ons waardeer dit, ons het nog nooit voorheen gaste in 'n goedkoper kamer geplaas as wat vooraf bespreek is nie.
Die besprekings inligting stem ooreen met die eenheid wat ons vir jou beskikbaar gemaak het. Die foto's dui duidelik die fasilitiete en die grootte van die kamer aan. Ons adverteer ook dat ons eenhede TV's het, maar daar word nie gemeld dat ons DStv het nie.
Elke kamer ontvang 1 Wi-Fi toegangskode per persoon, dus 2 per kamer. Ons beddens kan omskep word in beide 'n dubbelbed en 2 enkelbeddens.
Die Jacuzzi neem 800 liter water op 'n keer, wat dan daarna dreineer moet word, die swembad word eenkeer gevul en dan onderhou, ons het besluit om vir die rede en weens die droogte die jacuzzi leeg te hou, ons dui dit op ons inligtingstuk aan wat aan gaste gegee word met aankoms. Dankie vir jou kompliment rakende die ete, ons tafel opset is van so aard dat gaste as 'n familie lekker saamkuier, indien gaste anders verkies kan dit so gereëel word. Wat die prys van die kos aanbetref: ons doen navorsing oor die pryse van kos en besoek baie restaurante en ons pryse val binne die kategorie van bekostigbaar, 'n voorgereg en hoofgereg word aan gaste voorgesit teen 'n billike prys.
Ons waardeer elke terugvoer en bou op die negatiewe om dit vir ons toekomstige gaste 'n lekker ervaring te maak. Hoop dat ons julle weer in die toekoms by ons kan verwelkom!
Groete Valley Bushveld Country Lodge

One of my best accommodation experiences yet!
Valley Bushveld exceeded our expectations. The staff treated us like family. The manager went out of his way to make us feel at home and his knowledge of the area that he shares with the guests is fenomenaal. Despite the drought currently experienced by the Eastern Cape, the surrounding scenery is breathtaking. The dry riverbed is especially something to see and offers excellent scenery for photography. Valley Bushveld will undoubtedly see us again!

Nice and quiet and beautiful scenery.
The stay was very good and we enjoyed it very much. I just have to mention that when I was looking for accommodation, I specifically looked for a place with a Jacuzzi, DStv and a boma. Valley Bushveld Country Lodge was one of the places that met all the requirements. However, when we got there the Jacuzzi was no longer in use, there was no DStv and we couldn't use the boma either.

Goeiedag Burger
Baie dankie vir jou terugvoer, ons waardeer altyd komplimente en opbouende kritiek.
Graag wil ek net 'n paar punte uitlig, die bestuurder het aan julle verduidelik dat ons in 'n knellende droogte is en dat ons nie die jacuzzi in tye van droogte gebruik nie, aangesien dit 800 liter water op 'n slag gebruik en dan weer net so moet uitgetap word na gebruik terwyl ons sukkel om al die wild en diere aan die gang te hou met die beperkte watervoorraad tot ons beskikking. Ek glo julle sal waardering hê daarvoor.
Die DStv, as jy op ons webblad kyk, sal jy sien dat ons sê daar is TV's in die kamers, nie DStv nie. Die eerste aand met julle aankoms het ons bestuurder vir julle verduidelik dat die gebruik van die boma daardie aand nie moontlik sal wees nie, want daar was wind gewees en daar was gaste in 'n kamer direk agter die boma, wat dit moeilik maak aangesien dit buitelandse gaste was en hulle nie waardering het vir rook wat in hul kamer inkom nie en 'n groot vuur sou waardeer nie. Dit is ook 'n brand risiko aangesien dit 'n grasdak boma is. Hy het toe vir julle gesê dat die volgende aand dit nie 'n probleem sou wees nie, aangesien hy geweet het dat die spesifieke gaste die volgende dag sou uitgaan en daardie kamer nie bespreek is nie en natuurlik as die weer dit toelaat. Julle het die volgende aand terugekom van julle rugby en aandete en toe niks genoem dat julle die boma wil gebruik nie, en die bestuurder het aangeneem dat julle nie meer belangstel nie.
Dit was egter verblydend dat julle die skuif van die twin kamer na die dubbelkamer waardeer het. Hoop om julle weer in die toekoms te kan akkommodeer!

The location suited us well as the accommodation was only for one night on the way to Tsitsikamma. We would (and already have) declared this a good stay.

Fantastiese huislike gevoel in die natuur. Sit op stoep met ietsie te drink in die hand en kyk hoe die wild hier reg voor jou op die gras kom wei. Geniet die kaggel en uitgebreide boeke oor wild, jag en natuur.

Fantastic homely feeling in nature. Sit on the porch with something to drink in your hand and watch the wildlife come and graze on the grass right in front of you. Enjoy the fireplace and extensive books on wildlife, hunting and nature.
What a wonderful weekend in the Eastern Cape. Just over 12km outside Uitenhage. Close to Addo and other interesting places (such as the cheetah center). Lots of game on the farm. The owners' personal involvement and knowledge of the environment and animals make the visit even more worthwhile. Dinner and breakfast were excellent. WiFi is a bonus. So is the fireplace and hanging out in the special living room. The game that comes to graze on the grass in front of the house. Rooms are small, but we had no need to sit in the room! The farm and the common places to visit are spacious and cosy. We will definitely come again!
