Inconvenient, will not go back.
When we got there, there was a taxi with its doors open and music as loud as a club. 10 m from there was a large group of other people sitting with a large speaker playing other music just as loudly. It was at reception. Reception itself was not very friendly or helpful. The place no longer looks like it does in the photos. Not even almost. Those photos were probably taken 10 years ago. If you look at the photos, it gives you the idea that it is a quiet place that is nice for a break. If that's what you want to do, this is not the place for you. If you want to drink and hang around other drunk people and hear them yelling at each other, this is the place for you. One positive thing is they give you a fresh home baked bread when you get there.

Zongororo Mountain Lodge 's response
Thank you for taking the time to review us.
We are sorry that Zongororo didn't live up to your expectations. We pride ourselves on being a place of rest and restoration.
The weekend that you stayed with us, all the other guests staying with us were either going to Nelspruit to watch the Springboks play Argentina or watching the game locally.
The win led to some celebration, although we didn't find it as loud and disruptive as you described.
We hope that you will stay with us again and for more than 1 night so that you can get an accurate feel of what we are truly about.

Friendly reception, very neat and clean, well equipped and excellent value for money.
We were accommodated in "the Shack" and arrived there after dark and in the rain and unfortunately (presumably) a valve problem impaired the flow of hot water. Access to the Shack is a long flight of stairs (not ideal for older people) and to the site via a low water bridge over the Elands River which poses a flood risk. Unfortunately, due to our late arrival and early departure, we were unable to enjoy and appreciate the beautiful surroundings. Definitely worth it.

Had a great time.
Had a great time and chat with the family. Neat little house. Had a bad mattress that was hollow. But the couch in the living room slept soundly. The hiking trail was a bit washed away with the heavy rain and we had to cut it short and turn around. The train passing by was fascinating and very interesting to study the map.

It was ok, not fantastic, just ok.
Friendly people and very helpful, but the unit we were in was out of the box. Bed was not comfortable at all and did not sleep well. At least it was only one night, on the way to Kruger. It wasn't terribly peaceful either, I suspect there was a church group or something that played rock hard music for quite a while, it wasn't the end of the world, but not as blissful and peaceful as we expected do not have.

After a very long day on the road, Magda's friendly and warm welcome was just what we needed. We didn't get there until 20:00, in the rain, but Magda waited for us outside and even brought coffee. Thank you very much! Clean and tidy accommodation, everything you need is in the cottage. The scenery is beautiful! We will definitely stay there again and can recommend them anytime!

Very beautiful nature and nice hiking trail.
We had a nice stay and Ronel was very friendly. Found the kitchen to be very basic and the two plate stove wouldn't turn off and the tiles under it were cracked. A two-plate stove with an oven might be a good idea. I also don't think it would be comfortable for 6 people, unless it's 2 small children. Is sufficient for 4.

Value for money for 1 night.
Advertisement was just misleading. We saw and booked a guest house at a good price but slept in a backpackers 14 sleeper. The accommodation does not match the price. What you see is not what you get! But was quite acceptable for the amount we paid for the one night. Managers accommodated us for the inconvenience and gave us an extra room at no cost. Very friendly people!

A place to visit again.
Definitely a place we'd want to visit again. Hennie and Elsa know the meaning of hospitality! When we arrived they showed us where everything is and because we wanted to braai they invited us to braai with them becaus they already had a fire going. When you arrive you are greeted by the friendly Jack Russels and they want to go for a walk with you on the farm. Unfortunately we arrived too late, but the walking trails looked really nice. The little cabin is equipped with everything you need, the rooms are large and the decor is beautiful. We just stayed the night but it was so beautiful I wanted to stay the week.

Not nice at all.
Directions were poor to Znorgori. I was very upset when we arrived but didn't realize how bad it would be. We were received very kindly by Nadia. She showed us our rooms and I realized too late that we had a room with a bathroom. I thought we were staying in a hostel. Later found out it is for backpackers. I booked for 3 adults in one of the log cabins I saw on the internet. After walking around the farm we wanted to relax quietly with a glass of wine on the veranda of our accommodation. Our view was the washing lines. Fortunately, there was a delicious home-baked bread on the table. We couldn't even make coffee because there were only tin cups and "bitten" tin plates. When the sun went down we just sat on the floor in our room and talked. We were forced to get into bed early. We were able to roll down the blinds with difficulty. In the bathrooms, the blinds were broken and dirty. Some toilets didn't work and one faucet dripped all night. The box in the one bathroom's little wheel kept falling out. Was embarrassed to tell my family where we spent the night. An email I received from Nadia said it was our choice to sleep there! Would never have chosen it! I booked for 3 adults and our welcome was "Linda welcome to you and the brood"!
