Stunning place to stay.

The place was incredible. It lived up to its name. Upmarket accommodation. Outside shower and bath was an amazing experience. Loved the warthogs visiting at dawn and dusk. Made me want to buy a place there!

Ons gunsteling plek in Hoedspruit! Gaan beslis weer daar kuier.

Heerlik gekuier, die eenheid het alles wat 'n mens benodig en is in 'n stil area van die "estate" geleë.

Had a great time, the unit has everything one needs and is located in a quiet area of the "estate".

The place is beautiful and safe.

The place is beautiful and clean, but the owner is not friendly and doesn't respect people or talk with them nicely.

Warthogs Rest 's response

Hello Thabo,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry to hear that you felt our communication may have come across as rude during your recent stay. Please understand how important it is to ensure that all guests adhere to the checkout time of 10 am, especially when we have incoming guests on the same day.

Additionally, we were disappointed to find the lodge left in an unsettling condition, with bottles and bottle caps littered on the floor. As a wildlife estate, maintaining the environment is a top priority for us, and we do emphasise in our pre-stay rules that the lodge should be left in the same condition it was found.

We want to assure you that our intention was not to come across as rude, but rather to uphold the standards of our establishment and ensure a pleasant experience for all guests. We strive to provide the best service possible and hope for mutual respect from our guests too.

We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our communication and guest experience in the future. Thank you.

Rustig, veilig, ruim, netjies en skoon.

Baie geniet, baie naby aan die natuur gevoel met die vlakvark familie reg onder ons neuse. Groot ruim vertrekke en die uitleg van die huis is perfek. Kon geen ander huise sien of hoor. Gevoel ons is alleen, diep in die bosveld. Sal definitief volgende keer langer wil vertoef.

Quiet, safe, spacious, neat and clean.

Really enjoyed, felt very close to nature with the warthog family right under our noses. Large spacious rooms and the layout of the house is perfect. Couldn't see or hear any other houses. Feeling we are alone, deep in the forest. Will definitely want to stay longer next time.

Relaxing and refreshing.

It was a very nice experience and we are definitely going back there. I only wish they can install the solar systems or at least get the generator as a backup when there is load shedding.

Thank you Julia, for your lovely review. We are in the process of looking into solar systems for the lodge. We glad you had a wonderful time.

Wow, what an experience.

I absolutely loved this place. Location-wise, it's excellent! The estate is very safe, friendly and there are so many animals to see. At Warthogs we saw a great number of wildlife just sitting by the fire. Warthogs, bush babies, nyalas, steenbokkies, pheasants and plenty of birds. This resort has a luxury feel to it, I thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor shower and the cleaning lady was such a pleasure. I highly recommend Warthogs Rest. I did feel it was slightly overpriced considering loadshedding and that although advertised that picnic lunches are on offer at request; they were not and the pool could have been cleaner. Other than that I had a very pleasant experience and will visit again. The photos do not do it justice. For Wifi, I've given 3 stars due to loadshedding so that is worth taking into consideration.

Baie lekker hier gebly al was dit baie kort. Sal weer wil gaan en langer bly.

Alles was skoon, netjies en goed ingerig. Die wild is baie mak wat dit 'n opwindende regarding maak veral vir die kinders.

Very nice stay here even if it was very short. Would like to go again and stay longer.

Everything was clean, tidy and well appointed. The wildlife is very tame which makes it an exciting regard especially for the children.

Very fantastic.

Have candles on guard in case of power failures and TV not working.

Warthogs Rest 's response

Thank you for your recent booking at Warthogs Rest.
Loadshedding caught us by surprise, we will consider safe options for back up, candles may be hazardous with a thatch roof.
The TV does work, please note however that it is a smart TV and we do not, as per our marketing text, have DSTV. Clients are to use their own log in's to access their various accounts.

Heerlike atmosfeer in 'n woonbuurt/landgoed.

Netjiese blyplek met skoon en luukse geriewe, puik toegeruste kombuis en puik geriewe. Die landgoed bied veel meer as wat mens sou verwag en die stapvriendelike omgewing is 'n pluspunt.

Verjaarsdagwegbreek.

Plek is regtig mooi en goed toegerus, maar die eienaar is baie ongeskik en onbehulpsaam. Skoonmaker kom voor 8 in met dag wat mens moet uitboek om 10. Bitter smaak in mond gelaat.

Relaxing breakaway in the bush.

We had a lovely stay. The house is well equipped, very tastefully decorated. The boma braai area is perfect, you feel like you are in the middle of the bushveld, splendid! The managing agent is excellent. She made sure we were taken care of and went out of her way to sort out an access issue at the estate gate. Thank you Belinda! One quite big negative is that nowhere on the website, is it mentioned, never mind made clear, that this house is rented out per room. We were under the impression that we had the house to ourselves, which is important to us. I was very disappointed to be told, late on the Saturday, that we would be having house guests. They were no bother but to me that is a very big negative. This is a self-catering house, not a B&B or a guesthouse which one would expect to be rented by the room. I will only book this place again if I am assured that we will have the house to ourselves.

Fantasties. Hemel op aarde!

Verblyf was pynlik netjies. Skoon linne en handdoeke! Baie rustige omgewing en baie veilig. Al wat pla is die permanente inwoners om jou se honde wat blaf. Ons sal vir seker weer by Warthog Rest gaan bly.
