• "Comfortable stay"

  01 October 2018

  "I loved the spaciousness. Our rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. I liked that there were fridges in all rooms, the pool was a winner as it was so hot over the weekend. We felt very safe and it was such a spoil to not have to do the dishes etc."

• "Wonderful game drives, great facilities & personal service and"

  22 June 2017

  "We had a wonderfully peaceful time at this great lodge. We saw plenty of game, even while staying at the rondavel because there is a waterhole at the fence. The game drives were set up to please and great care was taken to give us a special time. Staff gave us personal attention and went out of our way to assist. The owner gave us a very good insight into the history of the park."

• "Close to nature"

  "Enjoyable stay. Just too short."

• "Thekwane Lodge"

  21 November 2016

  "We had a super weekend at the Lodge. The accommodation was comfortable and clean. However we went on a game drive on Saturday morning (rather Cold) and did not see many animals. On our return the ranger Vim said that it was because of the cold weather. We feel he should have told us that before and we could have made an alternative time."

• "wonderful weekend!!!"

  05 November 2016

  "We had a wonderful stay me,my friend and both our fiances.Place is nice and clean and for that price we paid is was bargain to have coffee in the bush with the rhino on site.Sarah (helper) was the star of the week.Even though we didn't manage to see the all of the big 5,we manage to see the cheetah,Rhino and others and we were visited by the Giraffes and the Wildebeest in the morning next to the waterhole."

• "Real Break in the Bush"

  21 April 2016

  "<div>So close to the city but far enough away to feel that you are in the bush. Only able to do a couple of days with overseas visitors and wanted something not too basic but of a rustic nature and that is what we got. A personal game drive from Wim looking for what we wanted to see and a warm welcome from Fanie made it very personal.</div><div>Recommended.</div>"

• "2 night stay"

  02 November 2015

  "The accomodation was comfortable and clean.The only thing I found that was misleading is the chalet is not private,so if you feeling like privacy for the weekend definitely not good.The shower is in the bath and therefore the water splashes all over the bathroom.We had the Giraffe chalet and you feel like you on top of the other visitors.The maid did not service our room.other then that pleasant stay.Dinokeng a bit dissapointing,self drive does not have picnic spots and no ablution blocks,lack of big 5 game,only managed to see buffalo and we traveled the whole route,4x4.."

• "What a nice place for vacation"

  02 March 2015

• "Great value, lovely staff and super location!"

  "Thank you, we had a lovely time! Perfect location and great value, and the lodge is warm and friendly! See you again soon!"

• "Slegste verjaarsdag"

  13 May 2013

  "Slegste verjaarsdag ooit. Indien jy die hele naweek op een plek wil sit, is dit die ideale plek om te bly. Die gasvryheid van personeel maak nie op vir die stort se handvatsel wat gebreek is nie, die stort gordyne wat stukkend is nie en die verbleikte duvet covers. Daar is nie plek om te loop nie en jy sit letterlik in 'n omheinde kamp. Sal definitief nie weer terug gaan nie."

• "Idylic place in the sun"

  02 April 2013

  "What a great place to stay for some wonderfull rest and relaxation in a first class location. We had the two Chalets adjoining for our family of 6 adults and 3 small children.Great accomodation spotlessly clean and so well equiped. Thanks Fannie and Nosmsafor making our stay memorable. Would highly recommend to all."

• "Awesomeness"

  18 February 2013

  "Die rustigheid het ons heerlik laat rus. Die kamers is netjies en gerieflik. Sal defnitief die plekkie aanbeveel."

• "Ideal family weekend breakaway!"

  23 October 2012

  "This place was absolutely amazing! The owner was very forthcoming with alternatives to our preferences, right from the start and Nomsa was a joy to have around. We experienced the "extra mile" when, with a quick inquiry about DSTV for the Saturday rugby it was connected with no effort. The inside decor is great and the surroundings with animals drinking water a mere 20 meters away were great for the much needed rest away from home. The fact that it is within 50 km from Pretoria is an added bonus. We will definitely return next year for our annual "family weekend"!"

• "Die beste!"

  11 September 2012

  "Dit was wonderlike ervaring. Ons is daar getroud. Anna was baie gasvry en niks was te veel moeite vir haar nie. Baie dankie aan Fanie vir die stukkie ongerepte natuur so op ons drumpel. Ons het niks kort gekom nie."

• "Stay at the lodge"

  10 July 2012

  27 March 2012

  "Spent a night at the lodge with my sons. Great value for money - would suggest an upgrade to the channels available on the TV though."

• "Amazing"

  27 February 2012

  "The place was nice and clean. Nomsa was very friendly and she made us have the time of our lives. She is patient. We reconnected to nature again. I never thought I could see Zebra in Pretoria. After all, Pretoria is not all about shopping malls, lights, glamour, clubs.. I was impressed."

  11 October 2011
